Social media users praised pharmacist and content creator Arshie Larga after he shared a heartwarming video featuring the driver of the car he rented for the concert of celebrated Pinoy pop group SB19.
In the video, Arshie revealed that he had an extra ticket and decided to invite the driver to the show, marking the driver’s first-ever concert experience at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
SB19 staged a two-night “Simula at Wakas” World Tour Kickoff concert on May 31 and June 1.
“Ngayon lang daw si Sir makakanuod ng concert sa Ph Arena kaya happy ako for him! Naisip ko lang din kasi na instead maghintay si Sir sakin sa parking, bakit di ko na lang isama manuod. Buti pumayag naman,” Arshie wrote in his TikTok post.
Arshie shared that the driver also cried while watching SB19 perform “MAPA,” a song the boy group dedicated to their parents.
The title is a Filipino term that translates to “map” in English, is a portmanteau of “mama” and “papa.”
