Two resolutions have been filed in the House of Representatives seeking to recognize SB19 for a string of international milestones that lawmakers say have elevated Filipino music and strengthened the country's tourism profile.

House Resolution No. 1280, authored by Reps. Javier Miguel "Javi" Benitez, Nelson Legacion, Sarah Jane Elago and Kathryn Joyce Gorriceta, cites the group's appointment as Department of Tourism ambassadors, its performance at Lollapalooza Chicago, and member Josh Cullen's ceremonial first pitch at a Chicago White Sox game.

SB19 became the first homegrown Filipino act to perform at Lollapalooza, while Josh was the first P-pop artist to throw a ceremonial first pitch before a regular-season Major League Baseball game.

The resolution said SB19's international following has helped drive music tourism, attracting overseas Filipinos and foreign fans to the country for concerts.

"SB19's immense international reach has directly catalyzed a surge in music tourism, inspiring returning overseas Filipino workers, many of whom have not visited the Philippines in years, as well as international fans to travel to the country to witness their concerts live on home soil, thereby generating significant economic activity, increasing hotel occupancy, and boosting national tourism," it said.

It also credited the group with encouraging overseas fans to embrace Filipino culture and language.

"Through their uncompromising commitment to write and perform Filipino music, SB19 has inspired thousands of foreign fans across Asia, North America, Europe, and beyond to learn the Filipino language and deeply appreciate Philippine traditions, heritage, and values," the resolution said.

Benitez said SB19's success had created opportunities for future Filipino artists.

"SB19 made room for the next Filipino act that follows," he said. "The work now is making sure the industries behind them, from music to tourism, are ready for the attention."

A separate measure, House Resolution No. 1266, filed by Calamba Rep. Charisse Anne Hernandez, also seeks to honor the group, saying its "outstanding accomplishments exemplify excellence, resilience, innovation, and patriotism."

Both resolutions are pending before the House Committee on Creative Industries.
