SB19 and A’TIN have collected countless legendary fandom moments over the years, but few have reached folklore status quite like the playful Binibining Pilipinas “SLMT saga.” What started as a polished pageant performance quickly spiraled into a hilarious fandom drama that showcased the teasing, affectionate dynamic between the boys and their fans.
A’TIN transformed a tiny detail from the show into a full-blown storyline. SB19 unknowingly became the leading men in a comedy plot where A’TIN acted jealous, the Binibining Pilipinas contestants unintentionally became the “rivals,” and the boys later charmed their way back into the fandom’s good graces. It remains one of the funniest episodes in the SB19 and A’TIN relationship.
When SB19 stepped onto the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 stage to perform “SLMT,” their energy lit up Araneta. The boys delivered sharp choreography and warm smiles while the candidates stood poised in glittering gowns. It was a seamless blend of pageant grace and P-pop showmanship.
Somewhere in the mix of lights, music, and camera shots, an instance swept through the fandom. A’TIN joked that the boys said something that sounded like “ikaw yung A” to the contestants, a praise reserved usually for A’TIN. The fandom quickly grabbed the moment and turned it into comedy gold, poking lighthearted fun at the boys and began to pretend as if they have been betrayed by their beloved Mahalima for the beauty queens.
Post-performance, A’TIN immediately shifted their focus to the Binibining Pilipinas contestants. Fans playfully insisted the candidates were getting a little too close to SB19. Memes started rolling in. Fans joked that they needed time to process, space to recover, or a brief vacation to heal from the imagined heartbreak.
Even international fans quickly understood that A’TIN reactions were always exaggerated for fun. It became a fandom-wide inside joke filled with dramatic edits, playful accusations, and running commentary about “protecting” SB19 from the beauty queens despite everything being purely lighthearted.
SB19 makes up with sweetness
According to fandom stories, SB19 later soothed the situation by reminding everyone that A’TIN were the real A in their hearts. Whether it happened during a homecoming, a livestream, or another event depends on who is telling the tale. What stayed consistent was the message. SB19 knows how to tease their fans, then win them back with genuine affection.
When you take a closer look at the last part of the song, we can definitely see that the A in SLMT was always meant to be us, the listener. In other words, it was always meant to be for A’TIN. The suyuan became the favorite part of the saga. A’TIN pretended to sulk. SB19 offered reassurance. Everyone ended up laughing together. Moments like this highlight how naturally the boys connect with their fans.
Closing thoughts
The Binibini Pilipinas SLMT saga shows what makes the bond between SB19 and A’TIN so special. Their relationship thrives on mutual love, shared humor, and moments that turn into unforgettable fandom stories.
A’TIN may joke about jealousy from time to time, but SB19 always knows how to make bawi and remind their fans how deeply appreciated they are. In the end, every bardagulan ends with laughter and love.
