MANILA, Philippines – P-pop group SB19 lends its voices to the official song of ASEAN 2026, as the Philippines prepares to host the regional bloc’s major summit in November.

The Department of Tourism unveiled “Together in Motion” as the official ASEAN 2026 theme song, with SB19 delivering the track ahead of the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in Manila. 

The song was composed by Anya Lagman and arranged by Jimmy Antiporda and Louie Ocampo. Lagman’s own portfolio identifies “Together in Motion” as the official theme song for the Philippines’ 2026 ASEAN chairship. 

The music carries the summit’s broader message of regional cooperation and reflects the Philippines’ ASEAN 2026 theme, “Navigating Our Future, Together.” 

The official music video also highlights scenes from across Southeast Asia, reinforcing the song’s focus on shared identity, movement and cooperation within the region. 

SB19’s participation comes months after the Department of Tourism named the group as among the Philippines’ newest tourism ambassadors in July. The partnership was positioned as part of efforts to promote Filipino culture and destinations to international audiences through globally recognized Filipino artists. 

The Philippines is set to host the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits from November 16 to 18 in Metro Manila. Those dates have also been declared special non-working days across the National Capital Region to ease traffic and support security arrangements for visiting delegations. 

The ASEAN gathering forms part of the Philippines’ year-long chairship of the regional bloc in 2026, with several ministerial, economic and diplomatic meetings also scheduled around the main leaders’ summit.
