1621's 'Sapulso'
Manila Bulletin
|April 24, 2025
I first met the P-pop group 1621BC, composed of JM, JC, Pan, Win, Migz, and DJ, when I hosted the Appreciation Night of the Multimedia Press Society (MMPRESS) last year. (kinilig ako ha!) I immediately noticed their unique talent and style during their performance. (gusto ko na nga sila iuwi that night!)

Last January, they dropped BC from the group’s name. They want to be called: 1621. (basta kayo mga bro ko!)
“Mas gusto naming tumatak sa tao yung pangalan namin na 1621. 1621 po kasi is an angel number which means success, fulfillment and new beginnings. New beginnings since galing kami sa isang reality show sa ABS-CBN, na lahat kami di nanalo," JM explains. (winner at nakatatak na kayo sa heart ko mga bro!)
