In my opinion, the song basically says that we should take care of our parents before it's too late. To show them our love while they are still strong and healthy, not when they are basically on the deathbed.
Actually MAPA have three meaning MAPA- Map in English Ma- Mama(mother), Pa- Papa(Father) Ma- Mata (Eyes, our Mama serves as our eyes who’s there whenever the world changes); Pa- Paa (Feet, our Papa serves as our feet that guided us) Pablo really likes wordplay so yah
MaPa = Mama and Papa (Parents) | Mapa = Map (English) Our Map is our 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. 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). In the Filipino 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 and its time for us (children) to do the rest. We want them to rest from the 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. 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.
..to add up to Pablo's amazing wordplay..MaPa is also Mata (eyes) at Paa (feet)..on the lyrics, it said, our moms are our eyes and our dads are our feet..i dunno..i just think the translations are not bad but it doesn't really give much justice to the song itself..🥺🥺🥺
Our culture has strong family ties. And when we become adults, it is ingrained in us to take care of our parents or give back to our parents after they raised us. So this song is basicially us letting our parents know that they should retire and it will be our turn to take care of them. A lot of us have parents who are abroad or children or are abroad just so they can take care of family. So this song hit us hard and we were bawling the first day it was released.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for reacting to their new Lyric Video, MAPA, and for you're unwavering support to SB19, I really do appreciate it a lot. PLEASE TAKE CARE ALWAYS and I LOVE YOU MEN....
Filipino culture. We take care of our parents in more ways that one. In their old age, the situation is reversed. That is love...We will always need our parents because our being their child and their being parents to us never stops.
Pablo is a total genius. This is not just a song but a story put into a song. Their story and our story whatever our relationship with our parents now. This is so relatable. Cant remember how many tears fall from my eyes. Thanks for reacting to SB19, you are one of the best reactor. You are always putting importance to the lyrics.
anggaling tlga ni Pablo,ang kantang Mapa ay biblical din po,because our father spiritually and phisically guide us,and our mother keep watching us no matter what hapens...
I can't imagine Josh and Ken singing their parts live, growing up without their dads by their sides. Not even a memory to reminisce for Josh as he never met his dad. He had to fight for his life on his own. While Ken's grandma who stood as his parent, just recently passed away and he was not able to see her for the last time before she died.
We are so happy that you have a new RV for MAPA. You are one of the best reactor you dont say much but your views are always on point. The first one who did the intro was Pablo and the wonderful voice you said was yes Stell. In our culture we choose to take care of our parents when they are older as they did when we were young. So basically the song is about giving back to your parents as they have done and sacrificed a lot for us.But maybe other can interpret this differently depending on ones situation. more SB19 contents please.
Thank you so much Cherry, I love your comment! 💙 That's Pablo woooow!! Beautiful message, I'm glad they made this song, it's very addicting to listen to!
It's like another way to say thank you to parents, especially to those who arent expressive (like me). Noticed how there arent really words like "i love you" and "thanks." But actions can still speak louder than words, they know we love them by how we treat them. I love the fact that this song can be taken in so many ways. It really speaks that despite the different experience we have with our parents, we have all one thing in common. And that it is we appreciate what they have done for us, just to make our lives better than theirs.
I relate to what you have said or feels. This song is deep I had the times also that I thought and feel this song is a great way to send off a lost family member to make the situation feels better cause of he melody. Amazing creation.
Did you notice how smart they are to come up with the title mapa. Mapa is like the combination of mama and papa, and when it combines it means map because our parents are the one leading us the way guiding us to be the best version of ourselves. At first i was skeptical with the song coz how come they come up with mapa? But it turns out its more deeper than that and its beyond my expectation to be honest shshshshs
Lataratara lataralata is like a lullaby that you sing to calm down someone who is anxious or very worried of something... it comforts the person. Also, mothers sing a similar tune for their babies to calm them down from crying while carrying in their arms... It's like a full circle story life... Parents caring for their children when they were young and now that their children grew up, it's the children's time to take care of their parents.
@@maizacabacungan8374 and what language would that be? you know that SB19 wouldn't put a language that they ain't familiar with. It's a tune... a lullabay, not a word... besides the latarata isn't two words... they are combined. They use it in a similar way with Lalalalalalala... That mothers sing to their children to sleep... The song is pretty straight-forward with the meaning and origin. It's not complicated.
@@merylgarcia2522 I agree with you. Josh said in an interview that Pablo created MAPA based on a lullaby his mother used to sing to them. I can only find “lata rata(z)” in the Urban Dictionary. A take off on “laters?” Maybe? It’s a very long stretch but I’m not sure Pablo would go as obscure as that.
Ito na article kayo dyan. Galing sa lullaby ng mother ni Pablo ang inspiration. “Pablo first composed the melody, getting inspiration from a lullaby that his mother would sing to him when he was a child,” - Josh Here’s the article: www.nme.com/en_asia/news/music/sb19-honour-parents-in-new-emotive-single-mapa-2941894 via @NME Please spread^^
In my opinion, the song is suppose to be personal and subjective. So one’s interpretation maybe different to the rest as each of us had a different story with our parents. And anyone’s interpretation is valid as again, our family experience is a unique and personal thing to us. The melody and lyrics are so simple yet so encompassing and transcends different backgrounds. It’s indeed a masterpiece.
This song say that its time to children to give back the sacrifices of their parents, its time to the parents to relax because children can provide for the family
im literally crying out of no where. maybe cause i grew up without my mom i was 2 years old since she passed away and now im 20 y/o still missing her, missing her presence.. im totally insecure to other people who have a complete family... i love you mom...😭😭😭😭😭
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad this song means a lot to you though. Hope you're doing well as there's much to experience in life! We appreciate you Dhona!
In my own opinion, since they are adults, they want to let their parents rest from all the worries in life. They have done enough. It is time for them to rest and the children will take over and take care of them. There is a deep love, gratitude, and respect that children feel for their parents. This is what the song is all about.
If you're interested to know hows it done. You can check Simon Servida. You'll be amazed on how he produce the songs What? And MAPA. Thanks for supporting SB19.
You nailed it...MaPa a play words for Mama and Papa..mapa is map thus serve as guide towards our journey in live and in return when we can let them rest for awhile and accept their worries now.
Hehe not a dying thing! We in Philippines it's not that our parents obliged us but its our gesture to give back what we have as we become adult or have capabilities already That lyrics Ma, Pa pahinga muna.. Rest now for the worries in life just enjoy your life now. Ako muna take a rest. But somehow yes! If dying occur this Pahinga muna ako na is a strong statement from the children to whisper before loveones departed. It gives assurance & peace to the one departed. Hope not is so unbearable!
Here's my theory to the word "Lataratara", if you sing it continuously it can sound "Literatura" or Literature in English, and from its root word LETTER. This song is indeed a LETTER from a Child to their Parents. 😊😉
Hey, Wilson, you didn’t forget and checked it out! Great song, huh? I also loved how crisp and clear their voices were. Pablo likes word play, so “MAPA” is two-fold - an hommage to the parents and a reference to a life map that the parent’s guidance give them. It is not really about a parent dying or sick. In fact, it was born when they were touring and they were away from their families and this was basically the message that they wanted to give their parents. The irony is that the two members who sang the “Dad” part both grew up without or mostly without their dad’s presence. This song makes a lot of people really introspective. Several reactors were even in tears, as was I when I really stopped and listened to the words of the song. Cheers!
@@WilsonChang You either do or you don’t. Not heartless at all. I think a lot of people, especially those who had relatable experiences, were the ones who had the strongest reactions. Glad you loved it! (I do, too.)
MY SAYING BRO, A SEED COMES FROM A TREE, A TREE COMES FROM A SEED. THATS HOW I SEE THE MAPA SONG, TEARS OF JOY IS THE MAPA EFFECT. THANKS GOD BLESS US ALL
MAPA IS A HEARTFUL SONG BY SB19, IT TRIGGERS THE HEART IN A GOOD WAY, IT MAKES YOU CRY OUTSIDE BUT BE HAPPY INSIDE. MAPA IS A MAP, JUST LIKE OUR PARENTS THAT GUIDES US TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THE CORRECT PATH OF LIFE. MAPA MEANS LOVE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR PARENTS AND LOVE ONES UNCONDITIONALLY,
new sub here..🇵🇭 love our parents no matter what. Thanks SB19 for representing all the children around the world, speaking out like this. Hope this masterpiece will mend any broken relationships between children & parents.
Hi Wilson! You have to connect the MAPA to the letters they sent their parents last Mother’s Day. Those are on the SB19 Instagram and Twitter account. That’s the basic reason for this song. Pablo asked them what they wanted to say to their parents and then wrote the song based on that. Josh’s part is the most wistful (he never knew his dad and knows it’s impossible to meet him now) so there’s speculation that it’s what he would have wanted to say instead. Thanks again for another insightful reaction. Hope you catch this performed live later today. 💙💙💙 BTW Justin directed the lyric video so there’s nothing random about the objects there. Just like Hanggang sa Huli, you’ll find a connection to What? and also to the lyrics and singer. ☺️ Like the seeds/flowers to Stell.
MAPA IS A HEARTFUL SONG, IT TRIGGERS THE HEART IN A GOOD WAY BRO, IT MAKES YOU CRY OUTSIDE BUT BE HAPPY INSIDE. MAPA IS A MAP, JUST LIKE OUR PARENTS THAT GUIDES TO THE RIGHT PATH OF OUR LIVES.

this song literally made all the A'tin shed a tear or cry, it is such an amazing inspirational song that we ponder on our relationship with our parents and to act on giving back to them-- the respect,gratitude and love because they deserve it....thank you Wilson for very good and insightful reactions....SB19, guys this is again a hit !...
Tnk u for this RV, please support them also on their nomination in BBMAs for Top Social Artist they deserve the opportunity because other nominees there are worldwide stars already, they are the first southeast asian artist to be nominated 🥰🇵🇭
I love how in depth and genuine your reactions are. This song really got me cryin!!! 🥲 this song is just pure genius. I've been discussing with my sister on Josh's part where he didn't grow up with a father, this just really includes listeners with no moms or dads growing up making it more painful. Thanks for reacting and appreciating SB19. 🥰
Thank you for reacting to this meaningful song from SB19. This reminds us to give time and give back to our parents after all their hard works & sacrifices.
It can be interpreted that way, parents being sick or in their deathbed. It can be interpreted how ever the listener sees it, just like SB19 always says. But I think the sickness/deathbed scenario is probably not what the song is really based on. I think the context of the message has something more to do w/ the members' own stories which is in turn a reflection of many Filipinos' stories. It has a lot to do with Filipino family culture. We have a culture of giving back to our parents when we are old enough regardless of whether they're sick or not, especially when the parents are not financially wealthy which is a common thing in the Philippines & which is also the case for most of the members of SB19 (Pablo, Josh, Ken & Stell's family & parents are not well off. Pablo's father works abroad to provide for the family. Ken comes from a poor family, his parents went abroad to work & has not gone back home since, Ken has seen them only once. Josh wasn't even able to finish elementary coz of financial difficulties. Stell was a working student so he could pay for his tuition. Justin's parents are more well off than the other members' but it doesn't mean they didn't have sacrifices, Justin talked about her mom having this disease but still choosing to wake up early in the morning every time to prepare their breakfast inspite of her pain & suffering). So for SB19 & most Filipinos, the lyrics in the chorus is more like telling our parents 'you can stop working & stressing yourself now, you've sacrificed so much, just rest now & enjoy life, I'll work for you & the family or I'll bear all the worries now'. "So, don't worry, close your eyes Stop crying, rest for now. I'll take care of it. You've done too much. Mom, Dad, rest first. Let me do it." So this is more like giving ode to our parents' sacrifices (financial or not) & just telling them to retire & enjoy life, that it's our turn to sacrifice and make them happy now.
Hello WILSON! All SB19 MAs & PAs are not that old at all. MAPA was Composed by PABLO during SB19's very BUSY Season filled with daily TV appearances, Interviews, Preparations for their 10 Nationwide Concerts & a Major Concert at the Araneta Dome, etc. SB19 living together in a Condo & their Heavy & hectic Schedules Did Not go Home, up until the CoVid19 Global Pandemic Lockdown when all their Plans were put to a Stop! Although SB19 Lyricist/Composer wrote the song, he asked All members to give their Input for SB19's Tribute song to Honor their Parents who had loved, cared & supported them through their almost 4 Trainee years. But then as with All SB19 songs, it has a deep UNIVERSAL Message. I'd like you to think of the Genius of PABLO as a Lyricist & Composer. One of his Signature Brand in most of his songs is his Brilliance in utilizing the LITERARY TECHNIC called "WORDPLAY' or "PLAY ON WORDS". He has used "WORDPLAY" in TILALUHA, IKAKO, WHAT?, even in SB19's choice of their Official Fandom Name, A'TIN & now here in MAPA. Ex. "TILALUHA" is Not a true Taglog word. PABLO combined 2 Tagalog words to convey the meaning of that song. TILA means STOP & LUHA means TEARS. Combined, IT BECOMES A "PLAY ON 2 WORDS" TILA+LUHA = TILALUHA, which means STOP TEARS. In MAPA's literal translation in English is MAP. PABLO's genius in using "WORDPLAY" for this song Does NOT Refer to the Literal MAP. but a TRIBUTE to each of SB19's MA(ma) & PA(pa). Combined MA(ma)+PA(pa) = MAPA. The word MAP was Alluded to one time in the song, something like, ;they won't get lost wherever they go because they always carry their MAPA/MAP with them & they know where they came from'. MAP here does not refer to a "physical location". But rather, MAP/MAPA refers to their MA & PA, from where they Really came from! I belabored this one again for you to :KNOW" SB19 better & catch their "WORDPLAY" Easier next time. Til your next SB19 RV. GrandMa S..
Thanks for the thoughtful reaction and appreciation of SB19 music and message. Pahinga muna means take a break for now or take a rest for a while, not necessarily Rest In Peace now, though if could resonate in that way for some listeners.🖐
@@danyt36 pablo doesn't confirmed it, but his dad said that Lataratara Lataratara is a lullaby used to sang by our parents when we were child. Though it was right that "La tarata" means signing off in latin.
for me, personally, i dont see it as a goodbye...i feel like, remember how your mom/dad calm you down when you are crying or something, they will just hum a note.. i feel, it is something like that... so, since they are trying to tell their parents to relax for a while and let them do the things that their parents usually do..it is like, 'chill ma,pa..I can do this, just watch me, then you just hum a song while they are chilling and you are working...because you know in your heart time is not always on our favor, so we'll take any opportunity to show/ tell them that we are there for them...
@@sherrymc9748 maybe it can mean "sign off" to the responsibilities MaPA, let me bear the worries from now on. Then Lataratara is a lullaby to say that "You don't have to worry MAPA. Sign off now, I'll take over."
It's a double meaning Basically MAPA means map, your guide in a new place. In the philippines we call mom Ma (short for Mama and our dad Pa (short for PAPA). If you combine those two you will create a new word which is MAPA (Map/Mom and Dad) Your mom and dad will be your guide for your life because the day will come they were not able to do the things they do to you the only thing that they can do is to love you and guide you to you journey while embracing your destiny, on that time you will do the same thing they did to you, you will take care of them for the rest of their life. I hope this helps 💙
MAPA In here has 2 meanings 1. Shortened version for Mama and Papa 2. Map in tagalog is Mapa. Overall our Mama and Papa are our MAP in life The interpretation of the song is subjective, may be your parents are sick, gone or you just want them to rest and enjoy life.
#ChangGang! Bro! MAPA is map but it is 2 meaning word, Ma(mom)Pa(dad) its dedicated to our parents! Lataralatara is "send off or goodbye" not sure about the last part
MA - MAma PA -PApa MAPA in english MAP The song is to give thanks to our parents and they guide us like a MAP so that we will never get lost. our parents is our MAP(MAPA) 💙🥰❤️

Really love your interpretation of this song! Thank you for another amazing reaction! 😊
Ahhhh thank you so much, I really appreciate it Yuzu!!! 😍💙 Everyone's support is truly a blessing!
In my opinion, the song basically says that we should take care of our parents before it's too late. To show them our love while they are still strong and healthy, not when they are basically on the deathbed.
Beautiful interpretation Joan! :)
Nakakaiyak Talaga Ang song 😭😭💔💔💔
Yes true
Actually MAPA have three meaning
MAPA- Map in English
Ma- Mama(mother), Pa- Papa(Father)
Ma- Mata (Eyes, our Mama serves as our eyes who’s there whenever the world changes); Pa- Paa (Feet, our Papa serves as our feet that guided us)
Pablo really likes wordplay so yah
wow three?! amazing
MaPa = Mama and Papa (Parents) | Mapa = Map (English)
Our Map is our 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.
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).

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.

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.
Wow this is super informative! Thank you! Love it
@@WilsonChang you're welcome
Nice one 👍
..to add up to Pablo's amazing wordplay..MaPa is also Mata (eyes) at Paa (feet)..on the lyrics, it said, our moms are our eyes and our dads are our feet..i dunno..i just think the translations are not bad but it doesn't really give much justice to the song itself..🥺🥺🥺

@@merylgarcia2522 I agree with you. Josh said in an interview that Pablo created MAPA based on a lullaby his mother used to sing to them.
I can only find “lata rata(z)” in the Urban Dictionary. A take off on “laters?” Maybe? It’s a very long stretch but I’m not sure Pablo would go as obscure as that.
Ito na article kayo dyan. Galing sa lullaby ng mother ni Pablo ang inspiration.
“Pablo first composed the melody, getting inspiration from a lullaby that his mother would sing to him when he was a child,” - Josh

Please spread^^
In my opinion, the song is suppose to be personal and subjective. So one’s interpretation maybe different to the rest as each of us had a different story with our parents. And anyone’s interpretation is valid as again, our family experience is a unique and personal thing to us. The melody and lyrics are so simple yet so encompassing and transcends different backgrounds. It’s indeed a masterpiece.
Would definitely agree with you Jonas! Masterpiece!! :)
THE MOST EMOTIONAL #SB19 SONG 💙😭😭
Amazing! :)
This song say that its time to children to give back the sacrifices of their parents, its time to the parents to relax because children can provide for the family
Beautiful message!
Thank you for reacting SB19 💙
Thank you! :)
@@WilsonChang welcome po as always 💙 pls do react more with our P-Pop Kings SB19
im literally crying out of no where.
maybe cause i grew up without my mom i was 2 years old since she passed away and now im 20 y/o still missing her, missing her presence.. im totally insecure to other people who have a complete family... i love you mom...😭😭😭😭😭
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad this song means a lot to you though. Hope you're doing well as there's much to experience in life! We appreciate you Dhona!
In my own opinion, since they are adults, they want to let their parents rest from all the worries in life. They have done enough. It is time for them to rest and the children will take over and take care of them. There is a deep love, gratitude, and respect that children feel for their parents. This is what the song is all about.
Love the interpretation! :)
Yey! Worth to wait
Thank you so much!! :)
If you're interested to know hows it done. You can check Simon Servida. You'll be amazed on how he produce the songs What? And MAPA. Thanks for supporting SB19.
Thank you Lea! I know Simon Servida for sure by now haha
Just like the map, our parents are our guide
You nailed it...MaPa a play words for Mama and Papa..mapa is map thus serve as guide towards our journey in live and in return when we can let them rest for awhile and accept their worries now.
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you for reacting to their new song release 😊😊
Thank you too! :)
I'm looking forward to your another reaction videos to SB19 keep it up Mr. Chang💙❤️
@@rhinemharquirante5314
Hehe not a dying thing! We in Philippines it's not that our parents obliged us but its our gesture to give back what we have as we become adult or have capabilities already That lyrics Ma, Pa pahinga muna.. Rest now for the worries in life just enjoy your life now. Ako muna take a rest. But somehow yes! If dying occur this Pahinga muna ako na is a strong statement from the children to whisper before loveones departed. It gives assurance & peace to the one departed. Hope not is so unbearable!
Thank you! Appreciate it! :)
I really love your reaction video , and I really like your hair😊
Wow Thank you so much Kate! appreciate the double compliments! :)
Here's my theory to the word "Lataratara", if you sing it continuously it can sound "Literatura" or Literature in English, and from its root word LETTER. This song is indeed a LETTER from a Child to their Parents. 😊😉
Nice theory! :)
Or it also maybe derrive from the word la tierra means the world or my world....
💙💙💙
Im exicted to watch on live of this song. Im sure i will cry again!
This song deserves recognition💙💙💙
Agreed! :)
Hey, Wilson, you didn’t forget and checked it out! Great song, huh? I also loved how crisp and clear their voices were. Pablo likes word play, so “MAPA” is two-fold - an hommage to the parents and a reference to a life map that the parent’s guidance give them. It is not really about a parent dying or sick. In fact, it was born when they were touring and they were away from their families and this was basically the message that they wanted to give their parents. The irony is that the two members who sang the “Dad” part both grew up without or mostly without their dad’s presence. This song makes a lot of people really introspective. Several reactors were even in tears, as was I when I really stopped and listened to the words of the song. Cheers!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention Ria! I love it! :) I hope it doesn't look like I'm heartless, I just don't think I can cry on camera 😭💙
@@WilsonChang You either do or you don’t. Not heartless at all. I think a lot of people, especially those who had relatable experiences, were the ones who had the strongest reactions. Glad you loved it! (I do, too.)
I think the "lataratara" stands for a made up lullabye that stick through Pablo's head because it is always sang by his grandma.
MY SAYING BRO,
A SEED COMES FROM A TREE, A TREE COMES FROM A SEED.
THATS HOW I SEE THE MAPA SONG, TEARS OF JOY IS THE MAPA EFFECT.
THANKS GOD BLESS US ALL
Great saying! :)
Thank you for these.You are one of my most anticipated reactor of #SB19.
You're so kind, wow! That's an honor for me, thank you :)
wow
MaPa = Mama, Papa
MAPA IS A HEARTFUL SONG BY SB19, IT TRIGGERS THE HEART IN A GOOD WAY, IT MAKES YOU CRY OUTSIDE BUT BE HAPPY INSIDE.
MAPA IS A MAP, JUST LIKE OUR PARENTS THAT GUIDES US TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THE CORRECT PATH OF LIFE.
MAPA MEANS LOVE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR PARENTS AND LOVE ONES UNCONDITIONALLY,
:)
that's PABLO in the beginning(lataratara)pls
check how Pablo.& SIMON SERVIDA produced the music.
Thank you! :)
Trivia: josh bravely sang the father part even though his own father abandoned them and he grew up without a dad...🥺
new sub here..🇵🇭
love our parents no matter what.
Thanks SB19 for representing all the children around the world, speaking out like this. Hope this masterpiece will mend any broken relationships between children & parents.
Welcome to the Chang Gang! :)
Parents are like map ( MAPA)
Map serves as guide
This is how talented #SB19
Thank you so much!
Hi Wilson! You have to connect the MAPA to the letters they sent their parents last Mother’s Day. Those are on the SB19 Instagram and Twitter account. That’s the basic reason for this song.
Pablo asked them what they wanted to say to their parents and then wrote the song based on that. Josh’s part is the most wistful (he never knew his dad and knows it’s impossible to meet him now) so there’s speculation that it’s what he would have wanted to say instead.
Thanks again for another insightful reaction. Hope you catch this performed live later today.
💙💙💙
BTW Justin directed the lyric video so there’s nothing random about the objects there. Just like Hanggang sa Huli, you’ll find a connection to What? and also to the lyrics and singer. ☺️ Like the seeds/flowers to Stell.
It's beautiful, really enjoy this song!!! Thank you so much! :) 💙💙💙 Thanks for sharing too!
Well said ! Beautiful interpretation !!
Thank you so much Jerry! :)
They will perform MAPA live later 7 PM PHT on their YT channel
wowowow I gotta check it out soon

Beautiful indeed, 100% agree. Love this song
this song literally made all the A'tin shed a tear or cry, it is such an amazing inspirational song that we ponder on our relationship with our parents and to act on giving back to them-- the respect,gratitude and love because they deserve it....thank you Wilson for very good and insightful reactions....SB19, guys this is again a hit !...
Thank you so much Lyn! :)
We all can celebrate and be grateful of our parents despite and in spite of everything. God bless all!
Bless everyone!
Vote for sb19 topsocial billboard
Tnk u for this RV, please support them also on their nomination in BBMAs for Top Social Artist they deserve the opportunity because other nominees there are worldwide stars already, they are the first southeast asian artist to be nominated 🥰🇵🇭
Support them! :) Thank youuu
In summary the song is about "retiring" your parents. It's as simple as that really.
Definitely different interpretations too :)
In an interview recently, Pablo said that Mapa is a combination of 'Ma' and 'Pa' (mother and father), who are also a Map that guide them through life.
To piece that together is outstanding! Multiple interpretations fit into one word.
I love how in depth and genuine your reactions are. This song really got me cryin!!! 🥲 this song is just pure genius. I've been discussing with my sister on Josh's part where he didn't grow up with a father, this just really includes listeners with no moms or dads growing up making it more painful. Thanks for reacting and appreciating SB19. 🥰
Thank you so much Beatrice, appreciate your comment!! It means a lot :')
Thank you for reacting to this meaningful song from SB19. This reminds us to give time and give back to our parents after all their hard works & sacrifices.
Agreed! Much appreciated for the support :)
Glad you reacted to their new song too. Love all of your SB19 telated RVs. Thank you. ❤
much love! :)
💙
💙
Please watch their MAPA live performance💙
Will do :)
YOU CAN JIVE WITH THE SONG, BUT WITH TEARY EYED. IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES WHEN WE ARE ONLY A CHILD UNTIL ADULTHOOD, PARENTS IMPORTANCE.
Latara tara tara is a LULUBYE used by Filipino parents to their babies😊
It's beautiful!
Thank u Sir for your time reacting to SB19.This song really relatable❤Its so heartfelt😭😊😍
Thank you Marvelyn!
It can be interpreted that way, parents being sick or in their deathbed. It can be interpreted how ever the listener sees it, just like SB19 always says.
But I think the sickness/deathbed scenario is probably not what the song is really based on. I think the context of the message has something more to do w/ the members' own stories which is in turn a reflection of many Filipinos' stories. It has a lot to do with Filipino family culture.
We have a culture of giving back to our parents when we are old enough regardless of whether they're sick or not, especially when the parents are not financially wealthy which is a common thing in the Philippines & which is also the case for most of the members of SB19 (Pablo, Josh, Ken & Stell's family & parents are not well off. Pablo's father works abroad to provide for the family. Ken comes from a poor family, his parents went abroad to work & has not gone back home since, Ken has seen them only once. Josh wasn't even able to finish elementary coz of financial difficulties. Stell was a working student so he could pay for his tuition. Justin's parents are more well off than the other members' but it doesn't mean they didn't have sacrifices, Justin talked about her mom having this disease but still choosing to wake up early in the morning every time to prepare their breakfast inspite of her pain & suffering).
So for SB19 & most Filipinos, the lyrics in the chorus is more like telling our parents 'you can stop working & stressing yourself now, you've sacrificed so much, just rest now & enjoy life, I'll work for you & the family or I'll bear all the worries now'.
"So, don't worry, close your eyes
Stop crying, rest for now.
I'll take care of it.
You've done too much.
Mom, Dad, rest first.
Let me do it."
So this is more like giving ode to our parents' sacrifices (financial or not) & just telling them to retire & enjoy life, that it's our turn to sacrifice and make them happy now.
Thank you for your interpretation and for the info! This is really beautiful :)
Thank you for this!! Actually, they will have a music showcase later, May 18 @ their yt channel 7:00pm pht.
Yay thank you! :) Definitely feel free to remind me haha
Hello WILSON! All SB19 MAs & PAs are not that old at all. MAPA was Composed by PABLO during SB19's very BUSY Season filled with daily TV appearances, Interviews, Preparations for their 10 Nationwide Concerts & a Major Concert at the Araneta Dome, etc. SB19 living together in a Condo & their Heavy & hectic Schedules Did Not go Home, up until the CoVid19 Global Pandemic Lockdown when all their Plans were put to a Stop!
Although SB19 Lyricist/Composer wrote the song, he asked All members to give their Input for SB19's Tribute song to Honor their Parents who had loved, cared & supported them through their almost 4 Trainee years. But then as with All SB19 songs, it has a deep UNIVERSAL Message.
I'd like you to think of the Genius of PABLO as a Lyricist & Composer. One of his Signature Brand in most of his songs is his Brilliance in utilizing the LITERARY TECHNIC called "WORDPLAY' or "PLAY ON WORDS". He has used "WORDPLAY" in TILALUHA, IKAKO, WHAT?, even in SB19's choice of their Official Fandom Name, A'TIN & now here in MAPA.
Ex. "TILALUHA" is Not a true Taglog word. PABLO combined 2 Tagalog words to convey the meaning of that song. TILA means STOP & LUHA means TEARS. Combined, IT BECOMES A "PLAY ON 2 WORDS" TILA+LUHA = TILALUHA, which means STOP TEARS.
In MAPA's literal translation in English is MAP. PABLO's genius in using "WORDPLAY" for this song Does NOT Refer to the Literal MAP. but a TRIBUTE to each of SB19's MA(ma) & PA(pa). Combined MA(ma)+PA(pa) = MAPA.
The word MAP was Alluded to one time in the song, something like, ;they won't get lost wherever they go because they always carry their MAPA/MAP with them & they know where they came from'. MAP here does not refer to a "physical location". But rather, MAP/MAPA refers to their MA & PA, from where they Really came from!
I belabored this one again for you to :KNOW" SB19 better & catch their "WORDPLAY" Easier next time. Til your next SB19 RV. GrandMa S..
Hi Susan!!! Thank you so much, wonderful tribute. The wordplay is also amazing and brilliant!
Thanks for the thoughtful reaction and appreciation of SB19 music and message. Pahinga muna means take a break for now or take a rest for a while, not necessarily Rest In Peace now, though if could resonate in that way for some listeners.🖐
Thank you so much Belle! :)
Thank you for reacting to our boys SB19. 👍😊💙🇵🇭🤗
Thank you! :) appreciate it!
more on Pablo singing the Mapa
Lataratara is a latin word for "Good bye" or " Sign off ". Thank you so much for always supporting our boys!😘
Ohhhh. Has this been confirmed by the boys if that is what it means? Just curious kaps.
@@danyt36 pablo doesn't confirmed it, but his dad said that Lataratara Lataratara is a lullaby used to sang by our parents when we were child. Though it was right that "La tarata" means signing off in latin.
for me, personally, i dont see it as a goodbye...i feel like, remember how your mom/dad calm you down when you are crying or something, they will just hum a note.. i feel, it is something like that... so, since they are trying to tell their parents to relax for a while and let them do the things that their parents usually do..it is like, 'chill ma,pa..I can do this, just watch me, then you just hum a song while they are chilling and you are working...because you know in your heart time is not always on our favor, so we'll take any opportunity to show/ tell them that we are there for them...
We did google it😂
@@sherrymc9748 maybe it can mean "sign off" to the responsibilities MaPA, let me bear the worries from now on. Then Lataratara is a lullaby to say that "You don't have to worry MAPA. Sign off now, I'll take over."
It's a double meaning
Basically MAPA means map, your guide in a new place.
In the philippines we call mom Ma (short for Mama and our dad Pa (short for PAPA).
If you combine those two you will create a new word which is MAPA (Map/Mom and Dad)
Your mom and dad will be your guide for your life because the day will come they were not able to do the things they do to you the only thing that they can do is to love you and guide you to you journey while embracing your destiny, on that time you will do the same thing they did to you, you will take care of them for the rest of their life.
I hope this helps 💙
I love is, so intelligent and meaningful!
Been waiting for your MAPA rv. Thank you, I enjoyed this.
Waited for me?! Wow I'm honored!

Thank you! :)
💙💙💙❤😪👏

Thank you for reacting to this song and for your compliments to SB19. 😊
Thank you for your support! :)
MAPA In here has 2 meanings
1. Shortened version for Mama and Papa
2. Map in tagalog is Mapa.
Overall our Mama and Papa are our MAP in life
The interpretation of the song is subjective, may be your parents are sick, gone or you just want them to rest and enjoy life.
Thank you! :)
Welcome
#ChangGang! Bro! MAPA is map but it is 2 meaning word, Ma(mom)Pa(dad) its dedicated to our parents! Lataralatara is "send off or goodbye" not sure about the last part
Appreciate the tag Jeff, Love it! 😍 and wow thank you for the information. I totally didn't connect MA + PA from parents!
@@WilsonChang You're welcome bro! Always Support you!
