Inspiring, deep, and incredibly moving!

Pinoy Pop boyband SB19 steal our hearts as they soulfully perform their heartwarming single “Mapa“, dedicated to all parents out there.
SB19 surely encourages us to appreciate our parents through listening to this emotional ballad!
Official lyric video:
“’Kaya wag mag-alala, ipikit ang ‘yong mata. Tahan na, pahinga muna. Ako na’ng bahala…”
This beautiful song exhibits gratitude and eventually makes us grasp the reality that whatever happens, it is our parents who will forever stand up for us and will serve as our direction as we go through our paths in life.

The band emphasizes that MAPA is a portmanteau of “mama” and “papa”, and is a Filipino term of “map”, which directs us to the meaning of the song – how our parents guide us to be the greatest versions of ourselves!
