Let's continue the play on words - MAPA being map in Filipino - Ma-Pa - the short term for both Mama and Papa. During the verse for Mama, it alluded to her being their MAta (eyes). For the father, it's PAa (feet). But whatever, it's my fave SB19 song for now :)
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.
I focused my energy on SB19 just so I could cope with the loss after the first wave of BL in the PH. I always looked forward to your RVs after every episode of BLs and now your reacting to SB19 😭 thank u oh my god I remember watching even your hour long RVs
Thank you. For. Your. Genuine. Reaction. ! I really love it. Me. Too. It's. Hit me. A lot of this. Song ! More power. Guys. Waiting. For. Your. Another. Reaction
SB19 sounds even better live. Please check out their TM Pusuan performance of your fave Hanggang sa Huli and their first released song, Tilaluha. I promise you'll be blown away.
SB19 choreograph their dances, write the lyrics of the songs and contributed to the making/producing of their music video. That's why I adore them so much. They are versatile artists. Thank you for reacting to them. The more you react to their crafts the more you get to see their passion and the love for music. Please continue to react to their videos! :)
Same sentiments. Int’l fans have no idea how incredible and poetic the use and structure of words in this song. That line most specially “Ma-pa, pahinga muna, ako na.” It always gets me. It’s a highly emotional message I personally often hear from people who’s about to lose their parents. It’s heartbreaking.
I am crying again because i watch your reaction about MaPa. I already cried in this video since it was release. Happy to see your reaction happily crying haha.
Yes it's all who react this song ma, pa it's for our parents to tell they should rest now, and it's our turn to pay them for what they give us!!! Love your parents the way they love us!!! Thank you for reacting, first time hearing this song I literally crued😭😭😭
This is such a clever writing, titling it it MAPA (Ma, Pa) but also means Map which with their guidance we will never be lost because they are your MaPa.
Oh my, I didn't know you already listened and even released this rv already. I even left a dare comment for this just awhile go on your Hanggang Sa Huli rv. Anyway, yes, they released this between Mother's day and Father's day. Btw, the sun and moon represents, that being a parent is like a 24/7 job. LOL and Kent, Christine just said she doesn't want to cry,,,,, so,,,,, please continue on what you're doing coz it's effective(on making her cry😅).
Pablo is a gem; he is a genius and with him as the pinuno Sb19 is going to soar high. Their music is so unique and can compete with any out there. So proud of them and those who are sleeping on them are crazy Missing out on their talent. Sb19 and A’tin forever
this is why i love this song so much,its open for our own stories to tell and share.I thought i was immune to crying after hearing this song over and over again But seeing you sharing your stories to us and being emotional,brings me back to the first time hearing the song and crying a lot. Love here guys. React to sb 19 's tilaluha on tm pusuan. Stay safe!!!!
I'm listening to this song for the nth time but your reaction got me crying like for others to be touched by this masterpiece is a whole different level of communication in musical terms. And to think that Pablo is also the songwriter man, all praise and glory they truly deserve the world.

Hi! I hope you could react to SB19's live performance of MAPA on Round Festival. They represented the country in this music fest. Their live performances and vocals are way better than the studio versions. More power to your channel!
OMG! I just finished the other reaction and Im early now! Subscribed! For sure other Atin will notice this. Please kindly react to their other music called "Tilaluha" live performance on TM pusuan or in wish 107.5 they are really good in live performance. Actually ATIN prefer their live performances more than the music video or studio version itself.
I hate you guys! I thought i was already immune to this song but here i am crying with you 😭 we’re expecting a whole sb19 reaction special journey lol jk no pressure! 🥰
they are extremely talented. I like how the songs that they are releasing are very personal to them and how everyone can relate to as well. try reacting to the "Go Up" live in the Wish Music Awards. They are extremely great live.
Also Mapa = Map MaPa = Mom and Dad MaPa = Mata and Paa = Eyes and feet (in the song they mentioned that our mothers are our eyes to the world and our fathers are our feet who helps us stand up on our feet as we are growing up.) I love the play on words and how extremely poetic the song is.
Can you please..dont shout...the song is so heartfelt good .the messages..to mama and papa...or kindly lower voices .yeah you are reactors ..excuse me f i am being rude..songs like this needs respect...yeah!maybe you cant resists kiligin....sorry ...if somebody/someone is angry at me jist now.....saying my thougths....again so sorry...✌️✌️✌️
We just cried to it and had a heartfelt commentary at the end? and I also saw sb19 twice and cried to this song live. So yes you are rude. You must misunderstand because I don’t know what kilig you saw.
