<p>This isn&rsquo;t the first time the Philippines has been part of the ROUND Festival. In July, Zack Tabudlo and SB19's Josh Cullen performed at the festival&rsquo;s Busan leg in South Korea. Meanwhile, KAIA just dropped their new single, "Walang Biruan," on September 27, which the group co-wrote and co-produced.</p>
