Filipino pharmacist and content creator Arshie Larga is earning praise online after his heartwarming concert experience during SB19’s historic show at the Philippine Arena over the weekend.
In a now-viral video posted on both TikTok and Instagram, Arshie shared that he had rented a car to travel to the venue and happened to have one extra ticket. Rather than letting it go to waste, he decided to invite his driver to join him at the concert — free of charge.
@arshielife Ngayon lang daw si Sir makakanuod ng concert sa Ph Arena kaya happy ako for him! #SimulaAtWakas #SB19 #SaWWorldTour ♬ The Winner Is… Version – DeVotchKa
“First time ni Sir manuod ng concert sa Philippine Arena. Let’s gooooo!” Arshie wrote in the video’s caption.
In the comments, he shared more about their experience at the concert, writing, “Naisip ko lang din kasi na instead maghintay si Sir sakin sa parking, bakit di ko na lang isama manuod. Buti pumayag naman.”
“During the concert, lagi syang nagvi-video tapos sinesend nya sa anak nya kasi never pa daw nakanuod ng concert. KUNG ALAM KO LANG TALAGA!”, he added.
After the concert, the driver opened up during their ride back to Manila, sharing that he had been moved to tears during the group’s tribute performance of “MaPa,” which made him remember his late parents.
“Naiyak ako. Hindi ko itatago. Kasi mahirap mawalan ng magulang,” he said.
Although he wasn’t a fan, the driver expressed genuine happiness for the boy group’s feat, saying, “Masaya ako. Deserve ng SB19 na mapuno ito [ng Philippine Arena].”
Larga’s act of kindness quickly gained traction on social media platforms, drawing thousands of likes, shares, and praises from netizens.
The moment even reached SB19 themselves — with member Justin reposting the video and Stell simply commenting, “ARSHIE 🥺.”
Justin’s brother also added, “Salamat Arshie, mabuhay ka!”
“You’re so cool arshie 🥺,” wrote actor Raven Rigor.
“This is so sweet of you! Grabe I feel so happy just watching this. Deserve mo talaga lahat ng blessing Arshie. Napakabuti mo. Godbless din kay sir Grab driver. 🫶,” a TikTok user lauded Arshie.
“May your pockets never run dry, Kuya Arshie! Apakabuti ng ‘yong puso,” commented another.
It can be recalled back in December 2024, Arshie, who is known for using his platform to help people in need of medicine by offering financial support in his videos, was honored by TikTok with a special award for his content’s social impact.
In May of the same year, he was also included in the “Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia Class of 2024”, alongside other Pinoy online personalities.
