SB19 'MAPA' | LYRIC VIDEO REACTION 

I've figured out why it's called MAPA. I think there are two meanings for this. MAPA is a Tagalog word for MAP which guides and leads us to where we are supposed to go, also MAPA is a combination of MA(mama/mom) and PA(papa/dad), it means MAma and PApa are the ones leading us to the right path.

I was literally crying with him Then an ad showed up in the middle - Mimiyu "Nasa Lazada yan 🎶"

This song is very inspirational to me. Every lyric strikes me in a way. When they emphasized "Mama" (Mom) as the "Mata" (Eyes), they meant the one that showed you what life may bring. The eyes that makes you see the bigger picture. The eyes that cries, that smiles and that gives the perspective to the young ones as a mother teaches her son what is what. When they emphasized "Papa" (Dad) as the "Paa" (Feet), they meant the one that taught you how to walk and stand your ground. The feet where you started your first steps. The feet that stands up no matter what life gives you, that brings you to wherever you can be and that brings you back to where you came from. In a sense, you need the "Mata" and the "Paa" to navigate yourself to wherever you have to go, which was what your Parents have always taught you. That no matter what, you have that certain Map back to where you're from. It broke me when I listened to the dad lyrics because, when I got into an accident that caused my leg fracture, my "Papa" really did become my "Paa" and I am always grateful for what he did for me.

It's just a nice feeling that a Filipino artist like SB19 is highly appreciated by people of different race. We just wish that artist all over the world will make music such meaningful like 'MaPa. ❤❤❤❤❤

Usually it’s the parents who sing lullabies to their babies but this time the lataratara part is just the boys singing a lullaby to their paremts...

They are not just writing for themselves instead they are writing songs for all of us. This is a masterpiece brought to us by SB19.

MaPa is a tri-meaning title. Map, Momma & Papa & MAta (eye) and PAa (foot). Great work, SB19!

Sorry for the loss of your Dad! There’s a saying that parents raised you well if you make them feel how much you love them in the end! No amount of success or money will make up for that. Love your parents! They were there for you during your first breath and we should be there during their last.

Warning: Long Message ahead. Message below aims to answer some of your questions you have in mind. Hope this helps. (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 everytime 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 sayo” 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.

if you understand Filipino, the lyrics really hits different. especially when it's your own language. i literally spent hours sobbing over it.

Family always hits hard. The 1st time I listened to this song I also cried because I miss my dad. May his soul rest in peace.

You know what? Some foreigners reacting to Filipino songs, they are just trying to click bait us because they know that we love showing out our culture and are very proud of it. But this time, you can tell that he is reacting from his heart.. Even I did cry..

"I was able to be the man to him that he taught me how to be " yes 😫😢

That "Papa" or Dad. Josh was the one singing that part to think that he never met his father. MAPA hits different. Thank you for reacting to SB19 ♥️♥️

There are 3 OPM songs that never fail to make me cry whenever I hear them. 1. Masdan mo ang Kapaligiran by ASIN. (A song about nature) 2. Anak by Freddie Aguilar. (A song about daughter/son) 3. MaPa by SB19. (A song about parents) First two songs are classic Filipino songs already. I believe there are no Pinoys who doesn't know these songs by heart. MAPA on the other hand is a relatively new song but nothing short of emotions as the first 2 songs I've mentioned. These 3 wonderful songs will really make you cry and inspired and reminisce but most importantly they give you hope and courage to go on and do the right thing. For the environment and for the people you love most especially your family. So I highly encourage everyone who were able to read my comment to give it a try and listen to the songs I've mentioned above.❤

Another meaning of Ma = mata (eyes) and Pa = paa (feet). Amazing song writing by Pablo ❤ I love how you break down lyrics in your reaction.

SUCH A GOOD SONG!!!

This is the most genuine “mapa” reaction I’ve ever seen. *sending virtual hugs*

i changed my ways because of this song i used to be lazy guy i never cared for anything until this song made me realize what i really wanna do with my life our parents did what they can when were growing up every ups and down every day every paycheck every sweat and tears its only logical to repay them back and be successful i mean what every one wanna hear from their parents is "im so proud of you son/daughter"

🤧😭😭😢😭😭 This song 🎵 deserves 👏 a billion views and a must to hear. The message of this song is so freakin' BEAUTIFUL 😍 . KUDOS to the lyricist and responsible writing ✍️ this song! It hits me 💔 😢 😭.

A tough guy with a soft heart. Thats you😊

I'm so sorry for your father's recent passing. It's such a beautiful thing how music can connect us! Pablo, who is the group's leader has written and composed this song and some lyrics written by members.

Watching this now crying 😭.. I miss mama and papa❤️ they already rest in peace 😔

I've seen the symbolism of the title MAPA in other videos: 1st: Ma (mom) + Pa (dad) 2nd: Ma (mata: eyes) + Pa (paa: feet) 3rd: Mapa (map) that guides us

I cant blame every reactors of this song bec this really hit your soft heart

80% of the reactors I've watched cried thank you they have an uplifting songs called Go up and also IKAKO (you and me) I'm sure you'll love it

Cuando supe el significado de la letra lloré a mares. Cada vez que la escucho es inevitable no llorar. Hermosísima.

It's 3:30 am now here in Philippines and I'm binge watching sb19 videos and i'm here again watching your reaction video of this song coz' this is one of the best and genuine RV of Mapa. I don't even know how many times I've watched this RV and I'm sure this won't be the last time. Godbless you always Sir, thank you for appreciating and supporting SB19.

This is the main goal for MAPA. When you hear the song, it will make you open up and share your own stories.

this really hits home even if the translation cannot fully express the filipino language has deeper meanings. we cry so much deeper understanding the cultural undertones

MAPA has double meaning. It means Mama and Papa also means Map. The paper ship and the paper plane on the video simbolizes the Overseas Filipino Workers all over the world.. This video is all about the OFW working abroad and taking care of their folks. OFW's remitance has big factor to the Philippine Economy. Shout out to all the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) out there... ♥️

No matter what your nationality is this song hits the heart

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. 🥺

another thing i admire about this song...is not a single word 'LOVE' was spoken..instead showing love to your parents through acts of service...

As a Filipino i thank you for listening to one of our people's music

Great Reaction Video!

Man this song is Wholesome

Best ballad from sb19. It topped Tilaluha for me a thousand times. Tysm for reacting. It really was a beautiful song.

The song also talks about our parents sacrifices and how we should value them. Love them like there's no tomorrow.

This is really my favorite song. From the first time I heard it it totaly makes me cry . The lyrics of this song teaches us all to always look back and value our parents to thier constant love to us since our infancy stages until where we are now. I just miss my mother so much that almost a decade now since the last time we see each other back home in the Philippines. Salute to composer, writer and this group for making this really really beautiful song .

A reactor that is so genuine like you deserves to have more subs. A’TIN, let’s support this gentleman.

Salamat for knowing more SB19 's songs..BTW they have a live performance of MAPA you may want to check it...this song is a tribute to all the parents...hmmmm the first time I heard this song I cried as well hope that my MaPa can hear it in heaven.

Your reaction is so genuine that I'm crying with you throughout the video.

We sang this on our graduation and after we sang it we started crying,hugging and even making promises that no one would ever ever forget each one another. PROUD FILIPINO HERE

Tell your parents "I love you and Thank you" without saying I love you and Thank you. MAPA, ladies and gentlemen... Vote SB19 in BBMAs

Watching reactors of MAPA is just refreshing everytime. Because they share different stories. I hope SB19 especially Pablo is watching RVs and see how his written song impacts so many people. It really achieved it's purpose.

Many times I've watched this but just watch your reaction here and I saw you cried can't help but cried too 😭thanks for loving our MAHALIMA our SB19. 💙

I saw you in the news, being interviewed your comment was, you don’t want SB 19 just filled the void of bts but you want them to be successful and go beyond! Thank you for appreciating Filipino talents! Filipinos has so much potentials but sometimes they were just put aside. But this gentlemen work so hard to reach their dreams thank you for embracing them and it bring pride to us Filipinos. 😢 I was tearing up while watching you reaction video! 😢

The "Lataratara Lataratara ta~~" part is like your parents' lullaby to you when you're a baby.

Blessed are those children who take care of their parents and reciprocate the love they've given.

thank you for sharing brother,.. new FILIPINO fan here from middle east.. like like like .. subscribed

I saw you in one video featuring Sb19 concert in New York and you are there to watched together with your son.

real men have real emotions. thanks for your video!

I LITERALLY CRIED WITH YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.. PLEASE DO CHECK THEIR MAPA SHOWCASE

Team Philippines 👇

Oh man.. this song really hit me to the core and ur reactions is so pure and touching.thanks dude for appreciating our very own SB19

To be honest, this is one of the most honest reactions/reviews of SB19 songs I've ever watched. Thank you for reacting, Sir. I appreciate your real emotion.

This song really hits the emotions hard, always brings me to tears every time I hear it. Thanks for your reaction!

a million views!congrats

i am very thankful for that song MAPA for SB19 they made me realized that as the years gone by so as my dad pass away atlest I tell him that I can stand on my own feet to show him that i can do what he thought me to do I can't thank him enough even for my mom who suffer alzimers all there hard work Thank you is not really enough to say to show how much they are ment for you...even the road you take is rough at the end of the day the gratitude that you always carry for them to rise you and become a person right now...until now I want to tell my dad that I came home and visited him in his resting place together with his parents my lolo and lola...and somday to tell him that i have a dream to finish my study that he incourage me to do...

"I won't be lost anytime For I brought the map....." It was a play on words. MAPA means map in English and those are the combination of the first (or the last 😁) syllable of the words mama and papa. They won't ever be lost because they have the map/mama and papa to guide them. 🥰

Man this song hits me to the core, especially I wasn’t able to pay back my mum. I was just started working overseas then a few months she passed away. There are so many things that I wanted to give to her right now but can’t anymore. My msg to all, tell and show them you love em, you care for them, and even if your busy drop a call. Seeing them smile is priceless. A note for you “We are so busy growing up, that we often forget they are also growing old”.

this song feel deep bcuz they hv experienced many things of their family matters.. so it's such a hit to anyone, in their own life or others, they inner feeling shouting what we really felt too.. one way they telling to all parents what we wanna tell our parents too..

You must be a very good son yourself. Big hug from the Philippines.

Everytime I saw a guy was crying for their parents, It really hit me so much cause most of the times mens does not expressive. You can tell that this guy have a good heart and he loves his parents! 😇

My mom passed away this last week and this song hit me too so hard that it make's my tear's flow unnoticeable just noticed it a few sec. Anyway when i watched this reaction and the emotion you showed i cried again.

I just found this reaction and i didn't notice the tears in my eyes when you started crying.. Bless you and your family.. New subscriber here ☺️

I can't finish this. I almost crying tooo muchhh. i feel sooo deep

Hugs from the Philippines. I hope you find comfort in the song with the good memories of your Dad. 💙

Whenever I see reactors crying because of MAPA, it gives me the feeling that SB19 succeeded with this song already. Touching the listeners' hearts through music is pure talent. Not all songs can connect with ones heart and soul. I swear this song will be timeless.

I came back here to check now its already 1m+ views congratulations po🙏💙

Thank you sir ❤️❤️❤️ you deserved my subscribe 😊🥰

I love your reaction, so genuine. Thank you for appreciating one of their masterpiece written by their leader, Pablo. That song really touches our heart. That baritone is ken signing, my bias😜 Pls react to tilaluha in tm pusuan performance. It's much better than the wish bus.

Thank you sir for reacting this.. send virtual hug for you sir🤗🤗

I appreciate your very honest and heartfelt reaction. Thank you.

wow you have 1 million view for Mapa rv congrats

Mapa is also the filipino word for “map”. The song also shows that our parents are our guide.

You're such a great reactor. I was crying with you while listening to the lyrics. Sorry SB19 for discovering you just now. I am now a fan and all of you are insanely talented. This song is so heartfelt and beautiful.

I share the same feeling....missing my Ma(ma)Pa(pa)....Thanks the video. Animo!

Watched a lot of reactions for this video that this one is the most genuine of all.

It is so amazing to know that a song can reach even the farthest part of the earth. This song will hit you whoever you are or wherever you may be. We love hearing stories that relates to the song. I'm sorry to hear about your parent's passing. May they rest in peace.

Most of the reactors I've watched cried. Kudos to all our parents for all their sacrifices.

MAPA is a combination term of MAMA and PAPA...this song is for the parents who did their best to raised their child despite of many unwanted things happening. Its a payback song for a parents😊

I cried when you cried. Congrats to S 19 for this BEAUTIFUL song! So endearing, while in a modern beat. Love this Filipino band; love your reaction. Come to the Philippines and witness the wealth of musically inclined, exceptional singers & musicians. You had been a good son; you have the heart of a Filipino.😍

Thank you for reacting it means a lot that you felt the song too. Love for you. Godbless.

This is the reason why music is a universal language.

I wasn't able to keep up with the lyrics, but what I did catch and from what you said they sound good. Their vocals were great. There are a lot of good Asian artists. You should check out Charlie Zhou Shen's cover of "This Is Me".

HUGS brother, thanks to SB19's music, it's so wonderful

i feel you, i was crying too 🥹

I cried watching you, 'coz we felt your happiness and pain. You are a wonderful Son. :)
