Son I’m in tears I lov you with all of my heart 😢❤your my son and I’m so proud of you and all you do , you mean everything to me and always will, Lov you
SB19 is not your regular “boy group”. They have substance. Their beautiful music is a collection of masterpieces, which will be their legacy.. absolutely amazing!
Yeah. Can't wait for your reaction on Ilaw, Liham and Nyebe. Three of the more wonderfulsongs written by Pablo. The messages put forth are so meaningful.
This is my absolute favorite reaction to MAPA, so heartfelt, and genuine. Snake, a back story to this particular song, one day during the pandemic ( 2021 ), SB19 was folding clothes at the laundromat, Pablo blurted out a question to the gang, "What do you want for your Mom & Dad?" They conversed a bit, then Pablo wrote the lyrics, and each member's part to the song as soon as they got home. Thank you Snake for your reaction.
The moment I noticed your face turned red just by hearing the 1st verse by Justin, I knew the song hit your soft spot. You're correct, rain brings forth life just like how our parents do to us. Thank you for sharing your weakness which is also your strength (our love to your parents). Your A'tin family wants to give you hugs and comfort. For sure your mom and your dad are so proud of you. God bless you, man. Love from A'tin Philippines 🤗❤
My heart breaks for you. Even if your Mom did not to get to spend enough time with you, I see that you turned out to become a good man. MAPA really has this power to touch the heart. In true Pablo fashion, MAPA means both map and Mom/Dad. The visuals were a creation of Justin. Virtual hugs to you!
Not all people are willing to be open and be vulnerable so thank you for sharing your personal story. I love how you break down the song and even the small details in the video you noticed them. This song just proves that no matter what language or wherever you're from, love for our parents is universal. May it be biological parents or those people who play the roles as parents in our lives, there is that common denominator among humanity. I'm glad to see that the value of loving and appreciating parents are still present even in this modern generation.
I feel your pain. Every time I watch a reactor to this MAPA SB19 song I cry with them. But, you’re the only one that affected me so much. My mom didn’t pass early but we lost her long before that. She had Alzheimer’sD at early age, 50 yrs old. It’s painful to see our smart, hardworking, generous and helpful mom deteriorated to an undignified situation. Then, our dad passed the following year after her. For your Dad, he could be a phone call away, FaceTime.
"Tears ... and the ...seedlings ...sprout..." why didn't i realized that? Only Snake Venom made me see that! And, guys, this is the most emotional RV that i have seen from Snake Venom so far! Am i right? Whoah! Mapa really touches everyone's heart from all over the globe! I love this! The Snake Venom just got the antidote!❤❤❤
Absolutely right, your the only reactors that gave meaning to the video, every details you interprets exactly the meaning of MAPA. You are loved from the Philippines. ❤️ Your mom is your angel 😇 and she will still guide you up above. And your dad is always there for you and you are also with him always no matter what. This song really touches our heart, tribute to our parents. 👨👩👧👦❤🥰 😮
FYI, Josh is the one who sings the Papa part, but he has never seen his dad. He grew up with only his mom and his sister. And knowing that makes the song even more wrenching. And we're not forgetting Ken. When they were recording the song, he received a heartbreaking message that his grandmother, who took good care of him, had passed away.
Well they once a family and when he said Papa Fo you still remember when? As he shared to his fans, his Dad lost his mind and may not remember any of his past life which is with their family. I think Pablo purposely gave that line to him because it suits him and his experience but you’re right , it is a heartbreaking line for him.

It conveys the message that it's now the artists' turn to work and provide for their parents, acknowledging the sacrifices and struggles their parents endured while raising them.

Similar to how a map directs us anywhere we go, our parents provide guidance and support throughout our lives. They are like a constant beacon, helping us navigate through challenges and uncertainties. Just as a map helps us find our way back home when needed, our parents are there for us in times of need. As we journey through life, we encounter various modes of transportation such as vehicles, airplanes, or ships, each representing the highs and lows we experience. Despite facing ups and downs, riches and setbacks, the map of parental guidance remains our steadfast companion. It serves as a tool to overcome loneliness and adversity, ensuring that we find our way through life's trials with their unwavering support.
Hi! The only things I'd like to add to the above explanation is that LA TARA TARA in the song's refrain are the hummed syllables of a lullaby that Pablo recalls from childhood. (I've read some claim that these are supposedly from an actual Spanish lullaby that mentions "LA TIERRA [the earth / the world]", but I've not been able to verify if these claims are true.) So even the chorus of MAPA gains meaning, because it's now the child singing a lullaby back to his parents as he asks them to take a breather. Oh, and that's one more thing... The root-word "HINGA" in Tagalog means "breath", which Pablo included several times in Mapa's lyrics. It's the root of the word "PAGHINGA [breathing]" in these 2 lines: "Ang dahilan ng aking paghinga [The reason for my breathing]" and "'Di ko na sasayangin pa'ng mga natitirang paghinga [I won't waste any more of my remaining breaths]". But "HINGA" is also the root of "PAHINGA", which is translated in the subtitles as "rest" --- in the line "Pahinga muna [Rest for now]" -- but one can better appreciate Pablo's careful word choices if PAHINGA is more precisely translated as "breather" (a short break or rest, in order to catch one's breath).
Very extensive and informative explanation. Pablo is a real genius, the way he puts words and play around them in his compositions to give a deeper meaning is really exemplary. Moreover he crafts his songs in a way that listeners are left with various interpretations of the song. You'd be amazed at his lyrics of Crimzone.
😢😢 Crying with you. I can tell you that I didn’t have a good relationship with my mom, she passed away 11 years ago. Now as a mom of 2 grown men, I fully forgive her because she tried what she knew how to do. So I think my tears when I 1st heard this song were from regret and anger. Now my tears are truly from gratitude. 🙏
If your Dad's still alive, play him this song and let him know how much you appreciate everything he has done for you. Some people wait or don't realize until their parents are too old or gone to appreciate their efforts to give back or show their love for them and end up regretting that they left it too late.
Really appreciate your heartfelt reaction to this song . Your interpretation is very accurate. Like you, millions have been touched by MAPA. This lyric video has reached 100M
Guess he is referring to himself as the victim, affected emotionally by the lyrics of this song. He is quite blatant in praising Pablo's genius so how would he refer to them as victims? So there's some truth in the statement that some read to respond not to understand.
@@loen1007 you said "Guess" so you can't really be sure about that. Sometimes you just gotta accept being Corrected. Yes it's alright to share your opinions in public but you have to expect someone to say otherwise, it's how the media and communication works
@@lawffy2612 In the context of his message, it is how I perceived what he meant. But if you believe otherwise, so be it. I don't know him (just edited my post from he/she to he. Guess I didn't focus on the name before) and maybe you do because you assumed he is referring to SB19 as victims. But if you also don't know him, in the end, it's all assumptions on our parts. Who is wrong, who is correct, who knows?
You know.. This part 8:59, Papa part was sung by Josh. In fact, he actually never met his father. He and his sister were raised by single mother. Ken (the deep voice guy) was raised by his grandparents. His parents went abroad to Malaysia for work. He only met them few times in his whole life. Ken's grandmother passed away during MAPA recording 🙁 And his grandfather passed away in the same year :( Ken was recently asked in the interview who is your most favorite person in the world. He said his lola (grandmother). He adding he is lola's boy. For me MaPa (Mama Papa) in the lyrics don't have to be your biological parents. They can be the mother and father figures that helped you become who you are today.
There's a reason that this simple lyric video has 100M views. It's just relatable, whether you're a parent or you're a son/daughter. This has been an instant SB19 classic and yet, you still can't find a mainstream song honoring parents. For those who don't even know SB19 here in the Phils by name, they at least know THIS song.
Who wouldn't cry with MAPA. The first time I heard this song, I couldn't stop crying and I almost got depressed for overthinking the future of my parents. 🥲
How blessed you are having a wonderful father. This song always makes me cry everytime I hear it. This song makes a lot of people cry but on the other hand they love it bec of the msg. It has humongous views. It was made during the pandemic & it paved the way to make SB19 more popular. People that time needed & missed their love ones esp the ones that are abroad & being worried about COVID and how it affect people being apart from their family that’s why people cry everytime they hear Mapa. I love this song so much coz it reminds me of my parents . Thank you for reacting to Mapa.
This should be a national anthem for parents all over the world! I'm crying with you ❤❤❤SB19 just doesn't make song they make meaningful song that's make you happy and appreciate what you got.
@SnakeVenomV Hi, I hope you will be consoled by this thought : You may not have memories to tell about your mom but I am sure, she did. Memories of all your firsts. First cry, smile, walk, talk. Trust me, I am a mother. God bless your longing heart for your mama.
I just realized the importance of the things you noticed on the lyric video. I didn’t even noticed that before. This is a heartfelt reaction. Cried so much everytime I watch Mapa with other people sharing their experiences and memories with their parents.
I love how genuine you are .. it just shows that SB19 songs can relate to everyone’s story… you’re an amazing person even without a mom, you were brought up by your dad very well… kudos to you!
I aappreciate your heartfelt RV. This lyric video was the song that led me to SB19. This song is now like a warm hug of remembrance for my parents now long gone.❤
This song is really good, and it fits today's generation because most of our youngsters now don't value their parents; they don't treat them well because they love them; instead, they think of them as their responsibility as they get older. If we love our parents, our hearts will fully take care of them. But today, with a heavy heart, they see them as a responsibility. And it's so sad that, in their minds, it's not their obligation. to do so.
MAPA is that song that can hit you in different ways depending on which point of your life you are. Cried like you did when I first heard it because that’s how much it has touched me. When my Dad died recently, hearing it again touched a different cord in me. This song is a classic in its universality and relatability, a theme that is distinctive of SB19 songs.
PABLO the leader of the group, one random day, he asked the other members what they wanted to tell their parents, and this is the result of that random question. He wrote this for their own parents, and has now become like an anthem in Philippines whenever we want to show our gratitude to our parents. ❤❤❤
I am so impressed that "MAPA" has made a lot of non-Filipinos become emotional and cry just by listening to this song. This song tugs at the heartstrings of people worldwide just like what Freddie Aguilar's "Anak" did since the 80s up to now. Well done, SB 19, Pablo!
I feel your emotion Sir.. Really appreciate your love for your parents. Your Dad really proud of you. Much much love Sir from A'tin. (Fanbase of SB19) Thank you. Regards to you Dad❤❤❤
Sb19 Josh who lead the 2nd verse of MAPA is actually raise by a single mom together with his older sister so just like you, he grew up without knowing his father..
This song BTW, has become an anthem of a lot of schools in the PI especially during graduation ceremonies. Those other fandoms just don’t get how special SB19 is. 💞
Thank you sir for your honest rv. You lost your mom when you were just a kid but Josh who sang the part about dads, grew up without a father and up until now he hasnt met him.
no need to be sorry! express ypur love for both your parents... I think that is verygood. Thank you for sharing. You are actually lucky for having them. cuz others do not. Josh sings about his papa whom he never met...
Everyday, I thank the Lord that I was given the chance to ease my single mom’s burden & made her taste a life of ease. She refused luxurious lifestyle. The things she enjoyed are not things money can buy. We ease her worries showing that the two children she raised alone were responsible and strong people. She enjoyed her grandchildren. This song is a reminder to all children, spend time with your parents, care for them while they are still alive. They cannot feel your love, hear your cries of regret when they are already dead.
it's amazing how a song can shift the energy of a room. sb19 not only write meaningful lyrics, they also convey the emotions of the song through their voices.
SB19 really hits different they can make you dance and you can make you cry, they create their own music that sets them apart from other artist, that makes them monsters in music industry
I was deeply touched and moved to tears when you shared about your parents. Your story resonated with me on a profound level, and I felt a deep sense of empathy and connection. I’m so grateful that I always check your channel whenever you post about SB19 because your talent in interpreting the meanings behind their songs is truly remarkable. Your ability to delve into the lyrics and convey the emotions and messages so clearly makes your content incredibly special. Your insights on the music video were both impressive and comforting. You provided a perspective that I hadn't considered before, and it opened my eyes to new interpretations. The way you explained everything was so thoughtful and insightful-it’s my first time hearing such a detailed and compassionate analysis. Thank you for sharing this wonderful reaction with us; it meant a lot to me.
I'm a mother, and imagine my tears when my daughter let me listen to this during the pandemic (right when it was released). By the way, my daughter was just 10yrs old that time 🥹🥹🥹
MAPA is a timeless song and very relatable to all..This song resonates to everyone because we all have Mom & Dad who raised us..We understand you for being emotional on this, we all have our own stories to tell about our parents..One of the Boys, Josh who sang the part of the father has never had a chance to meet his father, so imagine the pain he's having singing this part..Thank you For the support you're giving to SB19, with love from the Philippines 💞🌹☘️💕🥰💐🍃🌿🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The first time.I heard this song (during.the pandemic time) I searched for the singers, and that was the time that I discovered SB19 , since then I never stopped supporting and loving them. They woke up in me the importance and value of my parents.
I'm cheering for you man! You're heart is so genuine! The moment you talked abt your parents and how you wanted to repay your Dad, it touched my heart too cos it's rare these days to have that mindset of a child for their parents🙏🙏 Bless you and keep fighting!
I like that you actually react to the message of the lyrics more than the sound of their voices, I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I’m sure Wherever she is right now seeing you like she will be happy of the person that you become. Kudos to your Dad🙏
This is one of the best MAPA RV. Made me cry listening to Mapa again. This song is very relatable in so many ways, regardless of actual parents or the ones taking care of you, acting as a parent for you. 😊 I lost my parents years back, hoping they are proud of what I've become now because of them. This should be an anthem for parents for sure. ❤ so proud of SB19 💖 Their music transcends. It has different covers in different languages/countries already. 🥹💯🇵🇭
1) MaPa = Mama and Papa (Parents) (2) Mapa = Map (English) (3) MaPa = Mata and Paa (Eyes & Feet) (4) Lataratara = There is no direct translation (Prolly) for this. This is a lullaby, a hymn normally our Mom makes every time she puts us to sleep. Remember our [1]MaPa normally just utter any sound tucking us in. Our Map is our [1]MaPa in this Life journey. Both used and present on this song. This is a masterpiece written by Pablo in collaboration with the rest of SB19. The release of the magical song was intended between the mother’s day and father’s day since the song is for them. This is a love letter to our parents. For some if not most, we barely tell our parents how we feel inside. This masterpiece will help us do another move to tell them how much we value and love them. In the song, “we will never get lost because we have the Mapa (Map)”. The map represent our parents. The things they taught us, the sacrifices, the advice they give and hardships. We will never get lost so long as we have the Map (Map). The Map that we can bring anywhere we go. The map that contains all the leanings and guidance our [1]MaPa gave us. In the Filipino culture (or prolly in other culture), we children have great regard to our parents / elderly. Most of us we would want to give back. Times wherein we just want our parents to stay still, we want to serve them and it’s time for us (children) to do the rest. We want them to rest from the tiresome days and time they give and sacrifices for us. This song hits the hardest if we have those regrets if not being able to give back and let them rest from those tiring days they spent for us. Regrets prolly due to some unforeseen events. Event where they can no longer hear our “thank you” and gratefulness towards them. Regrets prolly because we don’t have the capability yet of returning the favor (though they never ask for it). Regrets prolly because we are far from them and this pandemic is hindering us of being with them or for any reason. Normally our parents (MaPa) would not share how hard life is, they would not tell us how tight things are. They would always keep inside them the struggles they are facing and normally they will always show their happy face for us not to worry. There’s this Filipino saying “isusubo nalang nila, ibibigay pa sa’yo” This can be translated as our parent always put us first. First part of the song, Justin talks about how our parents (MaPa) prioritize us in all aspects. In the Filipino culture, remember the day when you as a kid cries asking for a balloon and our parent would graciously get some coins and buy one for you. That moment we can only see the our happiness for getting what we simply want, but we cannot see their smile because we are happy with a simple thing. Josh’s part where he heed the memories and advise his (a) father gave him. That even though they are not together he promised of keeping them. Remember a milestone in our lives, our first step as a baby? Those gently hands guiding not just our ways but most making sure that if we fall, they are there willing to Catch and pick us up and encourage us to try again. For Single parents out there, you both the Ma and Pa. you alone is the Mapa. For those OFW parents (MaPa) doing the great sacrifices for their Kids, Salute! Those OFW Kids making every effort to provide and give back their MaPa’s, Salute. Watching this masterpiece brings me home every time. Let’s not wait for the time where we regret.. call them now and let them know how much we love and treasure them. Each one of us has a story to tell with regard to our MaPa and Mapa. I wanna hear em. You may share and comment your story here. This second single, MAPA answers the “Where” from this comeback. IF the song “What” is proudly swinging our Flags, this “Where” is talking about our Origin, our parents and wherever we go, we will always go back to ur family. This masterpiece deserves to be heard around the Universe. This song deserves to be sang only by SB19 in different language respectfully. This Love letter hits us Filipino the most because it’s on the original language. The world deserves to hear this on their own language. Petition for our boys (EsBi) to do so. And hey, Watch out for the Easter eggs in the ending Map.
MaPa is one of the epic song ever composed. The word "MaPa" mentioned in this song has a lot of meaning; 1. Mapa in Tagalog means Map in English 2. MaPa is Ma for Mama (Mom or Mother), Pa is for Papa (Dad or Father) Latarata is like a new version lullaby song in Philippines while Mother or Father bring their child to sleep. The paper boat represent the child starting to grow and develop, paper boat turns to paper airplane which the child starts to soar and fly high and always never forget to go back to its route. If you see clearly from the background, the paper boat from the beginning comes out on the left side and at the end of the song, it goes back to where it belongs. The Tagalog word "Tahan" means stop crying. This song has a lot of meaning and deep love. As what I heard, it was composed by Pablo during Covid Pandemic, while they are separated from their family.
A very inspiring song, that touch , a heart of so many.. very heart felt, lyrics, that touch my very soul, since, my Mom passed last year , Dedicated to all , the Parents .. Love , love it… Thank, you SB19 ( Pablo & Justin ) 💕❤️
I'll never be able to put in words how this song makes me feel, all i can say is SB19 is just incredible! Pablo is an amazing lyricist, composer and producer! This group is just everything, I'll forever be grateful for their existence. I love and appreciate them so much🥺
This was also the time Ken's "lola" grandma who stood as her mom growing up passed away,l which Ken would have love to give back and make her lola proud of him. So this song is very dear for him. I cried with you coz I myself loves my parents dearly and I am happy was able to make them proud and literally took care of ny mom before her passing and currently taking care of my elderly father.❤
This is why we love sb19😢 because they make music to inspire us ,and not just to impress, they dont care if their songs hit the mainstream ,they just want to express themselves through their music
Hey Snake its okay to cry... I hear you. Both my parents are deceased and missed them so much. SB19 always gets you and us in our hearts . That's why we love them so much!
Aye. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm very sure your Ma & Pa looks upon you with gratitude and pride. You are exactly the man they wanted you to be - perhaps even more. You carry them with you always, like a map you keep on life. Keep up the grind, friend!

I feel your pain. Every time I watch a reactor to this MAPA SB19 song I cry with them. But, you’re the only one that affected me so much. My mom didn’t pass early but we lost her long before that.

Then, our dad passed the following year after her.
For your Dad, he could be a phone call away, FaceTime.
you will know that a man is good when he cry over a song about parents. Hugs😘
"Tears ... and the ...seedlings ...sprout..." why didn't i realized that? Only Snake Venom made me see that! And, guys, this is the most emotional RV that i have seen from Snake Venom so far! Am i right? Whoah! Mapa really touches everyone's heart from all over the globe! I love this! The Snake Venom just got the antidote!❤❤❤
Happy I could point that out my friend, thank you for being here. Much love! 🙏❤
He’s the only reactors that noticed about the tears,seedlings and sprout to blooms flowers
Wow. Just wow. Tears of hardships and joy nourishing their children’s lives.
Absolutely right, your the only reactors that gave meaning to the video, every details you interprets exactly the meaning of MAPA.
You are loved from the Philippines. ❤️ Your mom is your angel 😇 and she will still guide you up above. And your dad is always there for you and you are also with him always no matter what.
This song really touches our heart, tribute to our parents. 👨👩👧👦❤🥰

Moreover he crafts his songs in a way that listeners are left with various interpretations of the song. You'd be amazed at his lyrics of Crimzone.
😢😢 Crying with you. I can tell you that I didn’t have a good relationship with my mom, she passed away 11 years ago. Now as a mom of 2 grown men, I fully forgive her because she tried what she knew how to do. So I think my tears when I 1st heard this song were from regret and anger. Now my tears are truly from gratitude. 🙏
Oh, that's so nice... That's how Pablo's song can change one's heart. ❤❤❤
If your Dad's still alive, play him this song and let him know how much you appreciate everything he has done for you. Some people wait or don't realize until their parents are too old or gone to appreciate their efforts to give back or show their love for them and end up regretting that they left it too late.
Really appreciate your heartfelt reaction to this song . Your interpretation is very accurate. Like you, millions have been touched by MAPA. This lyric video has reached 100M
It's Pablo's lyrics and Justin's visual mind..
That’s what made them loved and unique over other groups
This song deserve a grammy
💯
Another victim of this song
Pablo is really a genius and created this beautiful masterpiece
Bruh don't say that they're a "victim" of the song cause that's being insensitive.
Choose your words wisely.
Guess he is referring to himself as the victim, affected emotionally by the lyrics of this song. He is quite blatant in praising Pablo's genius so how would he refer to them as victims? So there's some truth in the statement that some read to respond not to understand.
@@loen1007 you said "Guess" so you can't really be sure about that. Sometimes you just gotta accept being Corrected. Yes it's alright to share your opinions in public but you have to expect someone to say otherwise, it's how the media and communication works
@@lawffy2612 In the context of his message, it is how I perceived what he meant. But if you believe otherwise, so be it. I don't know him (just edited my post from he/she to he. Guess I didn't focus on the name before) and maybe you do because you assumed he is referring to SB19 as victims. But if you also don't know him, in the end, it's all assumptions on our parts. Who is wrong, who is correct, who knows?
You know.. This part 8:59, Papa part was sung by Josh. In fact, he actually never met his father. He and his sister were raised by single mother.
Ken (the deep voice guy) was raised by his grandparents. His parents went abroad to Malaysia for work. He only met them few times in his whole life.
Ken's grandmother passed away during MAPA recording 🙁
And his grandfather passed away in the same year :(
Ken was recently asked in the interview who is your most favorite person in the world. He said his lola (grandmother). He adding he is lola's boy.
For me MaPa (Mama Papa) in the lyrics don't have to be your biological parents. They can be the mother and father figures that helped you become who you are today.
😢😢😢
There's a reason that this simple lyric video has 100M views. It's just relatable, whether you're a parent or you're a son/daughter. This has been an instant SB19 classic and yet, you still can't find a mainstream song honoring parents. For those who don't even know SB19 here in the Phils by name, they at least know THIS song.
Who wouldn't cry with MAPA. The first time I heard this song, I couldn't stop crying and I almost got depressed for overthinking the future of my parents. 🥲
True ...Can't stop my tears whenever I listen to this... But still I love listening to it even if it makes me cry...
🥰🥰🥰
How blessed you are having a wonderful father. This song always makes me cry everytime I hear it. This song makes a lot of people cry but on the other hand they love it bec of the msg. It has humongous views. It was made during the pandemic & it paved the way to make SB19 more popular. People that time needed & missed their love ones esp the ones that are abroad & being worried about COVID and how it affect people being apart from their family that’s why people cry everytime they hear Mapa. I love this song so much coz it reminds me of my parents . Thank you for reacting to Mapa.
This should be a national anthem for parents all over the world! I'm crying with you ❤❤❤SB19 just doesn't make song they make meaningful song that's make you happy and appreciate what you got.
Just like Freddie Aguilar’s song ANAK to their kids
This video reaction made me subscribe to your channel… more power to you ❤ A’TIN FROM FLORIDA USA
This video reaction made me subscribe to your channel.. more power and good luck … ❤
Thanks for hanging in there I know how hard it must have been having set my parents to rest it cut deep for me as well. Great song and group
🙏🙌
@SnakeVenomV Hi, I hope you will be consoled by this thought : You may not have memories to tell about your mom but I am sure, she did. Memories of all your firsts. First cry, smile, walk, talk.
Trust me, I am a mother.
God bless your longing heart for your mama.
😢😢😢
That is definitely a very consoling advice not only for him but for all people in similar situation.
Cried with you.😢 it's more meaningful when the artist is the one that created the song. It makes it even more heartfelt and sincere
First time i heard this song, i became a fan. Pablo is truly a genius.
We are all hugging you right now.
I just realized the importance of the things you noticed on the lyric video. I didn’t even noticed that before. This is a heartfelt reaction. Cried so much everytime I watch Mapa with other people sharing their experiences and memories with their parents.
Virtual Hugs to you from Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤❤❤, New subscriber here...
Thank you so much! ❤ Hugs to the Philippines
Warm hug to you and everyone who miss their MAPA.
I love how genuine you are .. it just shows that SB19 songs can relate to everyone’s story… you’re an amazing person even without a mom, you were brought up by your dad very well… kudos to you!
I aappreciate your heartfelt RV. This lyric video was the song that led me to SB19.
This song is now like a warm hug of remembrance for my parents now long gone.❤
Damn it, who's cutting onions?! This is a testament of how powerful and meaningful SB19's lyricism is!
This song is really good, and it fits today's generation because most of our youngsters now don't value their parents; they don't treat them well because they love them; instead, they think of them as their responsibility as they get older. If we love our parents, our hearts will fully take care of them. But today, with a heavy heart, they see them as a responsibility. And it's so sad that, in their minds, it's not their obligation. to do so.
OMG!!! I cried too. Hugs.
🙏♥
MAPA is that song that can hit you in different ways depending on which point of your life you are. Cried like you did when I first heard it because that’s how much it has touched me. When my Dad died recently, hearing it again touched a different cord in me. This song is a classic in its universality and relatability, a theme that is distinctive of SB19 songs.
PABLO the leader of the group, one random day, he asked the other members what they wanted to tell their parents, and this is the result of that random question. He wrote this for their own parents, and has now become like an anthem in Philippines whenever we want to show our gratitude to our parents. ❤❤❤
I am so impressed that "MAPA" has made a lot of non-Filipinos become emotional and cry just by listening to this song.
This song tugs at the heartstrings of people worldwide just like what Freddie Aguilar's "Anak" did since the 80s up to now.
Well done, SB 19, Pablo!
Congratulations! You are now part of millions of people who were touched by this song. It only shows how much you love your parents.
ILAW by SB19 WILL BE THE SONG OF YOUR LIFE promise. Listen to that song
Agree to this. That is my all time favorite
I feel your emotion Sir.. Really appreciate your love for your parents. Your Dad really proud of you. Much much love Sir from A'tin. (Fanbase of SB19) Thank you. Regards to you Dad❤❤❤
Sb19 Josh who lead the 2nd verse of MAPA is actually raise by a single mom together with his older sister so just like you, he grew up without knowing his father..
This song BTW, has become an anthem of a lot of schools in the PI especially during graduation ceremonies. Those other fandoms just don’t get how special SB19 is. 💞
Im crying with you bro...
Many non filipinos can also relate to this masterpiece it is because we all loved our parents regardless of what races we are
You analysed this song like no other. You're a genius!
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you sir for your honest rv. You lost your mom when you were just a kid but Josh who sang the part about dads, grew up without a father and up until now he hasnt met him.
no need to be sorry! express ypur love for both your parents... I think that is verygood. Thank you for sharing. You are actually lucky for having them. cuz others do not. Josh sings about his papa whom he never met...
Everyday, I thank the Lord that I was given the chance to ease my single mom’s burden & made her taste a life of ease. She refused luxurious lifestyle. The things she enjoyed are not things money can buy. We ease her worries showing that the two children she raised alone were responsible and strong people. She enjoyed her grandchildren. This song is a reminder to all children, spend time with your parents, care for them while they are still alive. They cannot feel your love, hear your cries of regret when they are already dead.
it's amazing how a song can shift the energy of a room. sb19 not only write meaningful lyrics, they also convey the emotions of the song through their voices.
True.
This song has reached 100 million views. People all over the world are singing it in different languages. ❤
SB19 really hits different they can make you dance and you can make you cry, they create their own music that sets them apart from other artist, that makes them monsters in music industry
Your Ma and your Pa are your map so no matter where the world takes you, you can always find your way home.
I was deeply touched and moved to tears when you shared about your parents. Your story resonated with me on a profound level, and I felt a deep sense of empathy and connection. I’m so grateful that I always check your channel whenever you post about SB19 because your talent in interpreting the meanings behind their songs is truly remarkable. Your ability to delve into the lyrics and convey the emotions and messages so clearly makes your content incredibly special.
Your insights on the music video were both impressive and comforting. You provided a perspective that I hadn't considered before, and it opened my eyes to new interpretations. The way you explained everything was so thoughtful and insightful-it’s my first time hearing such a detailed and compassionate analysis. Thank you for sharing this wonderful reaction with us; it meant a lot to me.
Beautiful message to our parents love it 🥰
I'm with you.... I grew up without my mom, she passed away working as OFW abroad. Growing up without her broke my heart at a very young age.🙏🙏🙏
Well defined the meaning of the song
I'm so teary i can't hold my tears because i feel what you feel when your playing that song i really miss my ma and pa .....❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your mapa story. 😢 while watching.
I'm a mother, and imagine my tears when my daughter let me listen to this during the pandemic (right when it was released). By the way, my daughter was just 10yrs old that time 🥹🥹🥹
Thats a great daughter, bless your family 🙏❤
MAPA is a timeless song and very relatable to all..This song resonates to everyone because we all have Mom & Dad who raised us..We understand you for being emotional on this, we all have our own stories to tell about our parents..One of the Boys, Josh who sang the part of the father has never had a chance to meet his father, so imagine the pain he's having singing this part..Thank you For the support you're giving to SB19, with love from the Philippines 💞🌹☘️💕🥰💐🍃🌿🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you very much ❤🙏
The first time.I heard this song (during.the pandemic time) I searched for the singers, and that was the time that I discovered SB19 , since then I never stopped supporting and loving them. They woke up in me the importance and value of my parents.
This is my favorite reaction to mapa😊
Thank you for saying that! 🤗
music can really touch us no matter the language barrier. i love hearing how you related to the song. thanks for reacting to mapa❤
Thank you 💯❤
I'm cheering for you man! You're heart is so genuine! The moment you talked abt your parents and how you wanted to repay your Dad, it touched my heart too cos it's rare these days to have that mindset of a child for their parents🙏🙏 Bless you and keep fighting!
I like that you actually react to the message of the lyrics more than the sound of their voices, I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I’m sure Wherever she is right now seeing you like she will be happy of the person that you become. Kudos to your Dad🙏
I feel also your emotion, this makes me cry also, this song showing how they value their parents..
This is one of the best MAPA RV. Made me cry listening to Mapa again. This song is very relatable in so many ways, regardless of actual parents or the ones taking care of you, acting as a parent for you. 😊
I lost my parents years back, hoping they are proud of what I've become now because of them. This should be an anthem for parents for sure. ❤ so proud of SB19 💖 Their music transcends. It has different covers in different languages/countries already. 🥹💯🇵🇭
I can also just imagine how Josh felt who has not even met his dad, too .. and have to sing this song for like forever..😢..
1) MaPa = Mama and Papa (Parents)
(2) Mapa = Map (English)
(3) MaPa = Mata and Paa (Eyes & Feet)
(4) Lataratara = There is no direct translation (Prolly) for this. This is a lullaby, a hymn normally our Mom makes every time she puts us to sleep. Remember our [1]MaPa normally just utter any sound tucking us in.
Our Map is our [1]MaPa in this Life journey. Both used and present on this song. This is a masterpiece written by Pablo in collaboration with the rest of SB19. The release of the magical song was intended between the mother’s day and father’s day since the song is for them.
This is a love letter to our parents. For some if not most, we barely tell our parents how we feel inside. This masterpiece will help us do another move to tell them how much we value and love them.
In the song, “we will never get lost because we have the Mapa (Map)”. The map represent our parents. The things they taught us, the sacrifices, the advice they give and hardships. We will never get lost so long as we have the Map (Map). The Map that we can bring anywhere we go. The map that contains all the leanings and guidance our [1]MaPa gave us.
In the Filipino culture (or prolly in other culture), we children have great regard to our parents / elderly. Most of us we would want to give back. Times wherein we just want our parents to stay still, we want to serve them and it’s time for us (children) to do the rest. We want them to rest from the tiresome days and time they give and sacrifices for us.
This song hits the hardest if we have those regrets if not being able to give back and let them rest from those tiring days they spent for us. Regrets prolly due to some unforeseen events. Event where they can no longer hear our “thank you” and gratefulness towards them. Regrets prolly because we don’t have the capability yet of returning the favor (though they never ask for it). Regrets prolly because we are far from them and this pandemic is hindering us of being with them or for any reason.
Normally our parents (MaPa) would not share how hard life is, they would not tell us how tight things are. They would always keep inside them the struggles they are facing and normally they will always show their happy face for us not to worry. There’s this Filipino saying “isusubo nalang nila, ibibigay pa sa’yo” This can be translated as our parent always put us first.
First part of the song, Justin talks about how our parents (MaPa) prioritize us in all aspects. In the Filipino culture, remember the day when you as a kid cries asking for a balloon and our parent would graciously get some coins and buy one for you. That moment we can only see the our happiness for getting what we simply want, but we cannot see their smile because we are happy with a simple thing.
Josh’s part where he heed the memories and advise his (a) father gave him. That even though they are not together he promised of keeping them. Remember a milestone in our lives, our first step as a baby? Those gently hands guiding not just our ways but most making sure that if we fall, they are there willing to Catch and pick us up and encourage us to try again.
For Single parents out there, you both the Ma and Pa. you alone is the Mapa.
For those OFW parents (MaPa) doing the great sacrifices for their Kids, Salute! Those OFW Kids making every effort to provide and give back their MaPa’s, Salute.
Watching this masterpiece brings me home every time. Let’s not wait for the time where we regret.. call them now and let them know how much we love and treasure them.
Each one of us has a story to tell with regard to our MaPa and Mapa. I wanna hear em. You may share and comment your story here.
This second single, MAPA answers the “Where” from this comeback.
IF the song “What” is proudly swinging our Flags, this “Where” is talking about our Origin, our parents and wherever we go, we will always go back to ur family.
This masterpiece deserves to be heard around the Universe. This song deserves to be sang only by SB19 in different language respectfully. This Love letter hits us Filipino the most because it’s on the original language. The world deserves to hear this on their own language. Petition for our boys (EsBi) to do so. And hey, Watch out for the Easter eggs in the ending Map.
MaPa is one of the epic song ever composed. The word "MaPa" mentioned in this song has a lot of meaning;
1. Mapa in Tagalog means Map in English
2. MaPa is Ma for Mama (Mom or Mother), Pa is for Papa (Dad or Father)
Latarata is like a new version lullaby song in Philippines while Mother or Father bring their child to sleep.
The paper boat represent the child starting to grow and develop, paper boat turns to paper airplane which the child starts to soar and fly high and always never forget to go back to its route. If you see clearly from the background, the paper boat from the beginning comes out on the left side and at the end of the song, it goes back to where it belongs.
The Tagalog word "Tahan" means stop crying.
This song has a lot of meaning and deep love. As what I heard, it was composed by Pablo during Covid Pandemic, while they are separated from their family.
If you loved this, I'm sure you're also gonna like "Ilaw"
A very inspiring song, that touch , a heart of so many.. very heart felt, lyrics, that touch my very soul, since, my Mom passed last year , Dedicated to all , the Parents .. Love , love it… Thank, you SB19 ( Pablo & Justin ) 💕❤️
