One of the reasons why MAPA doesn't have a music video is because SB19 is giving us a chance to create our own music video with our MAPA (Mama & Papa) in our minds. And knowing Josh (the one who sang the Dad's verse), he hasn't seen his dad since, but he sang it really well so we could relate. Thank you for another reaction video of SB19. You could also watch their live performances and more ballad songs. :)
@@just_Anjealic I think she means SB intended for MAPA to NOT have an MV because of the reasons she mentioned. But Selecta sponsored it as one of its brand's anthems, that's why they created an MV for it.
MAPA best version is WISHBUS, it has English subtitles. This song composed by their leader Pablo. In Tagalog, MAPA usually refers to a MAP, but Pablo sees it as a tribute to our parents who guide us through life's journey, akin to a MAP guiding travel. Additionally, MAPA holds familial significance, representing both "MAma" (mother) and "PApa" (father). Breaking it down further, "MA" symbolizes "MAta" (eyes), and "PA" signifies "PAa" (feet) in Tagalog, adding layers of meaning to this creative linguistic play. The song "MAPA" serves as a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering support and love of the artists' parents. 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. It symbolizes a sincere effort to reciprocate the care and dedication received during their upbringing.
I believe that for many, the lyric version is the best that is why it has more views. The impact of the images shown on the video, like the paper boat and plane, map, flowers and eyes, the artistic way it was crafted to relay the message and elicit the emotions from the viewers as intended by the artists play a major role in making the song a huge success which the Wish Bus version alone could not have achieved.
They wrote this song during the Pandemic because they missd their parents and Pablo the leader added the “ Latarataratara” on it because his mom sang that to him when he was a baby to put him to sleep, its like a lullaby.
Wala yatang reactor na hindi talaga iiyak sa mapa napaka gandang kanta kahit ilang dekada pa mawala man tayo dito sa mundo itong kanta nato hindi kailan man mawawala may iiyak talaga pag mapakinggan itong kanta nato salamat pablo sa awitin at kinomposed mo lalo na sa sb19 proud fan boy since 2020
This is a very well-written song. This is probably their most celebrated song. Pablo, the leader of the group, wrote this. It's a song that united most Filipinos that come from different music genre. SB19 struggled to achieved heights throughout the years because in the Philippines, being a successful P-pop group wasn't even deemed plausible. Many Filipinos realized, by the time this song went viral, that SB19 is more than just a P-pop group and the rest is history. Since then, the Philippines has embraced P-pop and the success of SB19 paved way to the rise of other P-pop groups like BINI and Alamat.
Another play on words for Mapa was the words Mata(Eyes) from the first part describing the mother as the child's eyes and Paa(Feet) for the 2nd verse describing the father as the child's feet. MAta+PAa= MaPa
This PPop group’s wheelhouse is actually ballads. They have great, hard hitting bangers, but their ballads are next level. You need to try some of their classics - Tilaluha, Hanggang Sa Huli, and Nyebe; or their latest - Liham and ILaw. You’ll almost forget that they excel in high energy songs and choreography as well.
Ben&Ben is a 9-piece Filipino folk-pop band from Philippines consisting of twin brothers Miguel Benjamin and Paolo Benjamin on acoustic guitars and vocals, The band was formed in 2017 and is currently regarded as the biggest and hottest band in the Philippines They are known for their unique musicality, heartfelt lyrics, and electric vibe onstage. The band's name is derived from the twin brothers sharing the same first name
SB19 may not be charting much unlike kpop (Philippines is still isn't established in terms of this kind of industry) but their discography has a lot of heart, always has meaning, and since they're now self-managed artists under their own company / label, they have now the freedom to create their own music.
Thanks for reacting and also if you could listen to their other ballads (Nyebe, Tilaluha, Hanggang sa Huli). Not to say that their other songs aren't good, they're actually really good, it's just that, for me their ballads evoke emotions. furthermore, they don't really stick to one genre :)
Ben & Ben are 9-members Filipino indie folk pop band and one of the many inspirations of SB19. Having this collaboration was a dream come true for SB19. In a world full of dismissive & fault finding artists & fandoms, it is very refreshing that Ben & Ben fully supported SB19 in their journey to finding their own place in the Philippine music industry & their attempt on being recognized in the global stage. SB19 had performed this in Wish USA bus. If you want to see the original version with each member singing their parts, please check it out. Thanks so much for appreciating the boys. They are truly talented & kind hearted individuals. A true role model to younger generations.
For some reason their MAPA song really hit in the feels. And for some more reason, the lyric video seems to make it more emotional since you are force to focus on the message of the song.
I really love your reaction. I remember the first time I watched this MV, it will hit anybody, and it still hits me. I'm in teary eyes also because I appreciate it, especially when the reactor gets the message❤❤❤❤❤. Love your mom and dad while their still with you or even your children - their GOD gifts❤❤❤
Song is so emotional. For someone who speaks Tagalog, the lyrics totally hit differently. This are the kind of songs I try to avoid listening to on a normal basis having been raised into a dysfunctional family. Lucky are the ones who can actually sing this to their parents sincerely coz I can't. SB19 is amazing tho 🥹
No matter what you’ve experienced in the past, move on and dont make the same mistakes that your parents did. Be a better person and give all your best so that your kids wont experience the pain you’ce experienced.
Yes. No looking back. Don’t hold to the past, keep moving and if someday you will have a family of your own, do create a better and lovely life with them.😊
You are one of my fave IU reactors and I am so happy you found SB19❤ The WishBus live version was also really amazing. You should also check their other ballads, Liham and Ilaw, very emotional songs too. They produce and writes all their songs.
im happy of how touched you are from MAPA, this song is what has drawn me to SB19 as well when I listened to their epic song called "What?" then instantly jumping into this wonderful song for parents. Really showed me how much range SB19 uses when it comes to music and are definitely artists who knows what they're doing for both themselves and their listeners
Yes! MAPA is both map and ma, pa. SB19's band leader, Pablo, loves playing with words when he writes their songs. Double meanings, sometimes triple meanings, multi-layered lyrics... it's almost like a game he plays with us listeners. But he does it with artistry and it can hit you in the feels 😊🥰 .
SB19 has lots of deep and meaningful songs sprinkled amidst their banger dance songs. you're right Ben&Ben is the indiefolk band they collaborated with here, formed by the twin brothers Miguel Benjamin and Paolo Benjamin. you can also check them out in future. welcome to the world of PPOP! i just saw the thumbnail for your Bini rv. hope to see you around again soon on my recos
Ben&Ben 💛has amazing songs do check them out : ) SB19 and Ben&Ben did another collab and this time it's BB's song Kapangyarihan. As a fan of both groups, SBen19 ☺💙💛
The lyrics video has had over 95 million views and has hit the hearts of people all over the world. I've watched many reactors and you can see exactly when it touched their hearts. It could be the mama or papa verse or when they talk about the map but every person has their moment. Justin, the youngest member, was responsible for the lyrics video as well as the creative direction many of their MV'S and concerts. Every ballad is sung in Tagalog and the best way to enjoy them is to watch with English subs. Cashual Chuck has a 6 part docuseries on SB19 that is a must watch to learn more about their journey but more importantly he's remastered 15 of their Wish Bus performances including many ballads and has included English subs on every one. Keep exploring! There isn't an SB19 song that disappoints. Every song is a masterpiece!
When SB19 was just starting, they looked up to Ben and Ben as their idol and while training, they played Ben & Ben's music. It was such an honor for them to sing Mapa with their idols.
Your reaction is the best and so sincere. You really are smart. You were able to get the two meanings of MaPa by just reading the lyrics. First, MaPa stands for mama (mother) and papa (father). Second, Mapa is the Filipino word for map. The parents serve us our map in our life on this world. And the third meaning, Ma stands for Mata (Eyes). In the song, mothers are described as our eyes in this world. Pa stands for Paa (Feet). In the song, Fathers are described as our feet so that we can stand and walk in this world. All the meanings are in the lyrics. The song is a masterpiece written by a genius composer John Paulo Nase, known by his stage name Pablo, the leader of SB19. SB19's performance for the song Mapa on Wish Bus is the best for me. Ben&Ben is the whole band including the ones who sing and play the instruments excluding the five SB19 members. The founders of this band are the twins with long hair and eyeglasses playing the guitars. Their names are Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin. Originally, they are Ben and Ben, but it became the name of the entire band.
Please also check out SB19's live performances of this song as well, just those 5 voices hit different. some options are: Round Festival 2021, Kalayaan 2021, Sonik Philippines 2021, Wish Bus USA.
MAPA reactions will always tug my heartstrings, especially when reactors like you take time to dissect the lyrics and understand the melody and visualizer.. Pablo, their leader and composer, wrote this with the group's take to what they want to convey to their parents, which is why each part is heartfelt. The second verse sung by Josh hits differently knowing that he grew up without a father.. hope you would listen to their songs, upbeat and ballads both because they are incredibly amazing..
Ive watched many reactions already and yours is my favorite. You deeply get the song and express its beauty very well. Your two kids will grow up well with the life map you’re showing them
Pierre, u are such a genuine person. The purest soul i've known on youtube. The way you appreciate everything in the world piece by piece, inch by inch shows how of a genuine heart u have. Ever since i discovered you almost 2 months ago, while u are reacting to bini, i'm always observing u, and i love how u appreciate even the smallest things. If the world is filled with people like u, we could have an amazing world to live in. It sounds cliché, but i love u pierre, and thankyou for making my days complete with ur videos alongside bini. May God and the universe favor u and ur way! 🫶🏼🥹
Thank you very much for that, I really appreciate it. Yea I am a person who likes to look closer, take my time and enjoy the simple and small things in life. A big painting is made up of hundreds of brush strokes.... so every little brush stroke is somewhat important. And thats how I look at life. My motto was always taking it slower, to de-accelerate life .... and then Bini comes along with "buhay ay di karera" and I felt so at home and understood. I fundamentally love life and try to get the most out of every experience I can. Maraming salamat po! God bless you too!
I prefer MAPA live performance in Family and life online conference and also The Orchestra version. Family and life conference, you can hear each member's vocal skill and group's harmonisation. The Orchestra arrangements make the song more beautiful. MaPa also = Mata : Eyes , Paa : Feet
Ben&Ben songs are truly lyrically beautiful, executed by amazing vocals and musicality. I promise you, you will not go wrong with any of their songs. My personal favorite is titled Leaves, and this goes with the emotional warning. I do hope you check them out.
They performed at Clark Aurora Music Festival last April 6 and for the first time after a few years they sang Mapa. It still rings true to this day. I was there and it made me emotional all over again.
The third wordplay for this song MAPA's lyrics is; *MA (in 'Mata' , eyes in English)* where the mother is the child's guiding eyes in seeing the world) *PA (in 'Paa', feet in English)* where the father guides the child's feet in the proper direction)
If you explore more off theme they always do some world play same like Gento, gento here in Philippines is gold but in there mv it was like this . Ganito in Tagalog . Ganito and gento . Almost same pronunciation
The moment when yo realised that MaPa is both map and mama and papa is so satisfying. Pablo, the leader of the group is also their song writer/composer and he loves word plays and deep lyricism. This song introduced me to SB19 and am a fan since then.
Ben&Ben and Sb19 suited the song really well. Especially Ben&Ben who actually never fails to convey the message. And what the song's message is already touching as it is, their version together is what makes it more emotional. SB19 still has more of this kind of songs. Like Liham, Ilaw, Tilaluha and Hanggang sa Huli. These ballads are topnotch coming from a PPop group full of hightier vocalPPop. Also this is also heartbreaking fact. Josh who sang the the second verse with a message for the "Dad" actually grew up without his dad. So him singing that part makes it more painful for the artist himself.
Thank you for your RV❤. You did get the meaning of MAPA 👍👍 Pablo is such a gifted lyricist, a master of wordplay which further adds extra substance and meaning to SB19 songs, and to his own solo projects. The band version is a collab between SB19 and Ben&Ben band. I always enjoyed the celebratory feel of the band version..while the original SB19 version feels like a warm, loving, hug from my parents long gone. There are still other performances of MAPA that you will enjoy to watch. Their performance at WishUSA bus, that will also help you id each SB19 member faster. There is also their MAPA orchestra version performance at the Forte Pop concert. There is an actual MV, part of an ad for Selecta Ice Cream. I always enjoy the different performance versions on stage during any of their concerts for any of their songs..it will show how they spice up the songs through the years and how they continue to improve and evolve. Btw, there is another Ben&Ben collab with SB19, look for the MV for the song 'Kapangyarihan' ( means Power). I also enjoy Ben & Ben songs..one of them is entitled 'Leaves' hope you can react to that as well.❤
I’m only at the beginning of your rv and I know I’m going to enjoy your take. If you want to see the guys sing it (or any of their songs) live, the Wish Bus performances are it. The band version is great but delivers a different feeling, imo. It’s more celebratory a bit less hit-in-the-gut feels. Thanks for this. Edit: we all felt the same way you felt when we first heard Mapa. I still do, actually. Also, wordplay. You will get a lot of that with SB19/Pablo.
I remember my friend's son with this song.... he danced this song at my friend's funeral, his mom...she was a single mom, worked and migrated abroad all her life to provide a living for her son. Finally, when the papers of the son were approved to migrate and had their chance to be together, she was striken with cancer. After few months together, she died.. to express his grief and emotions, he danced this song.. sad story..
Ben&Ben are a Filipino indie folk-pop band,… they're a pair of twin brothers named Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin thats why they called their group BEN & BEN 😅
You just got the real meaning of the song thanks. In addition MA,PA is not only means MAMA AND PAPA, MAPS it's also MATA (eyes) and PAA (feet). Ben&Ben is a different group they are with all the instruments it's a Collab with SB19
They have a Wish Bus USA live performance and it also has an English subtitle. Pablo the leader of the group wrote the song during Pandemic, when they're doing their laundry he asked each member what they want to tell their parents because they missed them so much; that is how Pablo created the masterpiece MAPA. Yes MAPA has two meaning in our country, MAPA literally translate MAP in English and short for Mama and Papa.
OMG!i love ur reaction sir...i agree on u..the song for me is like a REMINDER..heres the fact that all people is growing,and when we were growing,sometimes were bz of our owned life that has different kinds of problem we facing in each and everyday and most of the time we forgotten what our parents teaching us everything and loving us unconditionally..and inspite of it should remind us that even if we growing now still MaPa is everything in our cycle of life.they part of us...again tq sir for continuing reacting to our artist. From Philippines🇵🇭 SB19❤❤❤
I'm always in awe whenever a foreigner gets the true meaning of this song of SB19, you got it perfect, Mom and Dad are the best map for their children. And here in the Philippines we honor so much our parents for taking care of us, providing for us and loving us, their children unconditionally (disclaimer: I am not saying that in other country they don't do that, the honoring thing lol it's just different here)
One of the leading ice cream brands in the Philippines, Selecta, sponsored an MV for Mapa. It was actually an ad starring the boys and it depicts their childhood memories. So heartwarming.
Thank you Pierre for reacting to our SB19 request, and yeah I did mention you before that it is a heart felt ballad song. This time be emotionally prepare for another ballad song (LIHAM, ILAW), same as MAPA. This songs have deep feeling and shows their vulnerability.
MAPA is a tearjerker song! It was perfectly written and full of emotions because this was dedicated to our parents. It's so relatable that it will cut you deep.
How many times do I need to cry to a Mapa rv😢 I always love how you get the meaning of each SB19 song. I want more❤ Mapa wishbus live performance will again hit different
One of the reasons why MAPA doesn't have a music video is because SB19 is giving us a chance to create our own music video with our MAPA (Mama & Papa) in our minds. And knowing Josh (the one who sang the Dad's verse), he hasn't seen his dad since, but he sang it really well so we could relate. Thank you for another reaction video of SB19. You could also watch their live performances and more ballad songs. :)
they have MV for Mapa. sponsored by Selecta Ice cream. But I like their lyric video than their MV. you can feel the emotion on their voice.
@@just_Anjealic I think she means SB intended for MAPA to NOT have an MV because of the reasons she mentioned. But Selecta sponsored it as one of its brand's anthems, that's why they created an MV for it.
@@just_Anjealicyeah, for some A’tin it’s not an official music video. It’s just like an endorsement but It’s good though. 😊
that is actually very interesting.... I like the thought
I love seeing that exact moment when the "Ma, Pa" realization hits ☺️
It's a shame some reactors don't get it even while watching the lyric video.
MAPA best version is WISHBUS, it has English subtitles. This song composed by their leader Pablo. In Tagalog, MAPA usually refers to a MAP, but Pablo sees it as a tribute to our parents who guide us through life's journey, akin to a MAP guiding travel.

awww mas lalo ako naiyak😭
Wala yatang reactor na hindi talaga iiyak sa mapa napaka gandang kanta kahit ilang dekada pa mawala man tayo dito sa mundo itong kanta nato hindi kailan man mawawala may iiyak talaga pag mapakinggan itong kanta nato salamat pablo sa awitin at kinomposed mo lalo na sa sb19 proud fan boy since 2020

not the biggest band but one of the famous band at the moment.. there are much more better bands than them sorry 😅
overrated. heartfelt lyrics?? nah just too much hype.
SB19 may not be charting much unlike kpop (Philippines is still isn't established in terms of this kind of industry) but their discography has a lot of heart, always has meaning, and since they're now self-managed artists under their own company / label, they have now the freedom to create their own music.

Yes what sets the OPM apart is it's always the heart of the songs.
That's one of their masterpieces, whenever I hear it, I feel like tearing up 🥺
This song hits differently... every time I listen to it, it just draws out raw emotions.
Ben & Ben are 9-members Filipino indie folk pop band and one of the many inspirations of SB19. Having this collaboration was a dream come true for SB19. In a world full of dismissive & fault finding artists & fandoms, it is very refreshing that Ben & Ben fully supported SB19 in their journey to finding their own place in the Philippine music industry & their attempt on being recognized in the global stage.
SB19 had performed this in Wish USA bus. If you want to see the original version with each member singing their parts, please check it out.
Thanks so much for appreciating the boys. They are truly talented & kind hearted individuals. A true role model to younger generations.
And the Wish bus USA version has captions.
thank you for that
For some reason their MAPA song really hit in the feels. And for some more reason, the lyric video seems to make it more emotional since you are force to focus on the message of the song.
You got it man, the double meaning for the word "MAPA". I love your reaction. Thank you for appreciating SB19, our Mahalima. ❤
thank you for being here
I really love your reaction. I remember the first time I watched this MV, it will hit anybody, and it still hits me. I'm in teary eyes also because I appreciate it, especially when the reactor gets the message❤❤❤❤❤. Love your mom and dad while their still with you or even your children - their GOD gifts❤❤❤
glad you liked it, thank you for your kind words
Song is so emotional. For someone who speaks Tagalog, the lyrics totally hit differently. This are the kind of songs I try to avoid listening to on a normal basis having been raised into a dysfunctional family. Lucky are the ones who can actually sing this to their parents sincerely coz I can't. SB19 is amazing tho 🥹
No matter what you’ve experienced in the past, move on and dont make the same mistakes that your parents did. Be a better person and give all your best so that your kids wont experience the pain you’ce experienced.
Yes. No looking back. Don’t hold to the past, keep moving and if someday you will have a family of your own, do create a better and lovely life with them.😊
Ben and Ben is an amzing band.
They recently,a few months ago did an mv for Mapa giving a little story of their respective families life. It’s quite cute and is an ad for ice cream
SB19's Wish Bus USA live performance is the best and it has English subs as well.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. SB19 and Ben&Ben,two of the best groups in the Philippines ❤
thank you :) :)
I've seen many reactors reacting to this, but your reaction is the most sincere. You understand each lyrics and you can feel the emotion.
Don't apologize for having feelings, my friend. I'm bawling right beside you.
+1
You are one of my fave IU reactors and I am so happy you found SB19❤ The WishBus live version was also really amazing. You should also check their other ballads, Liham and Ilaw, very emotional songs too. They produce and writes all their songs.

Yeah. That's tough. I always tear up when i hear this song. Darn.. 😅🙏

Really showed me how much range SB19 uses when it comes to music and are definitely artists who knows what they're doing for both themselves and their listeners
Yes! MAPA is both map and ma, pa. SB19's band leader, Pablo, loves playing with words when he writes their songs. Double meanings, sometimes triple meanings, multi-layered lyrics... it's almost like a game he plays with us listeners. But he does it with artistry and it can hit you in the feels 😊🥰 .

Ben&Ben 💛has amazing songs do check them out : ) SB19 and Ben&Ben did another collab and this time it's BB's song Kapangyarihan. As a fan of both groups, SBen19 ☺💙💛
That is why i consider Pablo a genius the way he plays with words😊
Thank you for appreciating our mahalima (Mahal ka Ng Lima, Mahal mo ang Lima) . You are now my favourite reactor
Ben and Ben is a senior band group looked up by sb19 and got inspired with. This jam is a colab one.
The lyrics video has had over 95 million views and has hit the hearts of people all over the world. I've watched many reactors and you can see exactly when it touched their hearts. It could be the mama or papa verse or when they talk about the map but every person has their moment.

Who didnt get emotional in MAPA? I still cry to this from time to time! As a parent, i wish i can be worthy of this song in the future 💙🇵🇭👑 #SB19
Thanks for appreciating sb19 ❤❤❤
thank you for being here
Pablo the leader of SB19 is the composer of the song.
He also composed almost all their songs.
MAPA is considered an immortal song, a national anthem for graduation, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
new sub here thankyou for appreciating the boys love from A'TIN (SB19 FANDOM NAME )❤❤❤more power godbless...
I really appreciate that, thanks
Philippines is a full of outstanding singers a singers country
Thank yoh sir for reacting to our PPOP KINGS ❤😊
Thank you so much sir for RV.
LOVE frm Phil
Another Fun Fact: SB19’s youngest member, Justin was the creative consultant/conceptualized the stage of the band version and the lyric video. ❤️
This is one of the best opm of this generation :) thank you SB19 for this song
SB19 they r amazing group.👍👍👍👌👌👌💖💖💖💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰
When SB19 was just starting, they looked up to Ben and Ben as their idol and while training, they played Ben & Ben's music.
It was such an honor for them to sing Mapa with their idols.
Thanks much for appreciating our singers..our songs..Pilipino artists.
God bless..❤❤❤
Your reaction is the best and so sincere. You really are smart. You were able to get the two meanings of MaPa by just reading the lyrics.
First, MaPa stands for mama (mother) and papa (father).
Second, Mapa is the Filipino word for map. The parents serve us our map in our life on this world.
And the third meaning, Ma stands for Mata (Eyes). In the song, mothers are described as our eyes in this world. Pa stands for Paa (Feet). In the song, Fathers are described as our feet so that we can stand and walk in this world.
All the meanings are in the lyrics.
The song is a masterpiece written by a genius composer John Paulo Nase, known by his stage name Pablo, the leader of SB19.
SB19's performance for the song Mapa on Wish Bus is the best for me.
Ben&Ben is the whole band including the ones who sing and play the instruments excluding the five SB19 members. The founders of this band are the twins with long hair and eyeglasses playing the guitars. Their names are Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin. Originally, they are Ben and Ben, but it became the name of the entire band.
Thank you for reacting more of SB19’s beautiful inspiring songs. All of their songs are masterpieces.. ❤️
Please also check out SB19's live performances of this song as well, just those 5 voices hit different. some options are: Round Festival 2021, Kalayaan 2021, Sonik Philippines 2021, Wish Bus USA.
Up!
MAPA reactions will always tug my heartstrings, especially when reactors like you take time to dissect the lyrics and understand the melody and visualizer.. Pablo, their leader and composer, wrote this with the group's take to what they want to convey to their parents, which is why each part is heartfelt. The second verse sung by Josh hits differently knowing that he grew up without a father.. hope you would listen to their songs, upbeat and ballads both because they are incredibly amazing..
Plzz REACT to there song wyat , bazinga,mana and I want you do there live too in wish buss cuz that's where they shine most
This song has been translated to different languages all over the world❤
Ben&Ben is one of the best bands here in the Philippines. SB19 are fans of Ben&Ben. Listen to their song like Leaves.
Ive watched many reactions already and yours is my favorite. You deeply get the song and express its beauty very well. Your two kids will grow up well with the life map you’re showing them
thank you so much for that , I really appreciate it
Pierre, u are such a genuine person. The purest soul i've known on youtube. The way you appreciate everything in the world piece by piece, inch by inch shows how of a genuine heart u have. Ever since i discovered you almost 2 months ago, while u are reacting to bini, i'm always observing u, and i love how u appreciate even the smallest things. If the world is filled with people like u, we could have an amazing world to live in. It sounds cliché, but i love u pierre, and thankyou for making my days complete with ur videos alongside bini. May God and the universe favor u and ur way! 🫶🏼🥹
Thank you very much for that, I really appreciate it. Yea I am a person who likes to look closer, take my time and enjoy the simple and small things in life. A big painting is made up of hundreds of brush strokes.... so every little brush stroke is somewhat important. And thats how I look at life. My motto was always taking it slower, to de-accelerate life .... and then Bini comes along with "buhay ay di karera" and I felt so at home and understood. I fundamentally love life and try to get the most out of every experience I can. Maraming salamat po! God bless you too!
@ cheers to people like u 🥹🫶🥹🫶
I prefer MAPA live performance in Family and life online conference and also The Orchestra version.
Family and life conference, you can hear each member's vocal skill and group's harmonisation.
The Orchestra arrangements make the song more beautiful.
MaPa also = Mata : Eyes , Paa : Feet
As a new parent this gets me everytime 😢❤
Ben&Ben songs are truly lyrically beautiful, executed by amazing vocals and musicality. I promise you, you will not go wrong with any of their songs. My personal favorite is titled Leaves, and this goes with the emotional warning. I do hope you check them out.
I've got them on my list now :)
This is another band group join singing with SB19❤❤❤ Mabuhay Filipino singers
You can check out the Live Orchestra version of MAPA or the Wish Bus Version and you can see how they sang it with full emotions
They performed at Clark Aurora Music Festival last April 6 and for the first time after a few years they sang Mapa. It still rings true to this day. I was there and it made me emotional all over again.
The third wordplay for this song MAPA's lyrics is;
*MA (in 'Mata' , eyes in English)* where the mother is the child's guiding eyes in seeing the world)
*PA (in 'Paa', feet in English)* where the father guides the child's feet in the proper direction)
DO REACT ALSO IN THERE ASIA ARTIST AWARD (AAA) COLAB WITH $TEAM
If you explore more off theme they always do some world play same like Gento, gento here in Philippines is gold but in there mv it was like this . Ganito in Tagalog . Ganito and gento . Almost same pronunciation
The moment when yo realised that MaPa is both map and mama and papa is so satisfying. Pablo, the leader of the group is also their song writer/composer and he loves word plays and deep lyricism. This song introduced me to SB19 and am a fan since then.
Ben&Ben and Sb19 suited the song really well. Especially Ben&Ben who actually never fails to convey the message. And what the song's message is already touching as it is, their version together is what makes it more emotional.
SB19 still has more of this kind of songs. Like Liham, Ilaw, Tilaluha and Hanggang sa Huli. These ballads are topnotch coming from a PPop group full of hightier vocalPPop.
Also this is also heartbreaking fact. Josh who sang the the second verse with a message for the "Dad" actually grew up without his dad. So him singing that part makes it more painful for the artist himself.
Nyebe is another ballad that's way too underrated but is just as beautiful!
wow i've seen & heard MAPA for a hundred times and i never noticed the "clapping" at the end. GOOSEBUMPS!
Thank you for your RV❤. You did get the meaning of MAPA 👍👍 Pablo is such a gifted lyricist, a master of wordplay which further adds extra substance and meaning to SB19 songs, and to his own solo projects.
The band version is a collab between SB19 and Ben&Ben band. I always enjoyed the celebratory feel of the band version..while the original SB19 version feels like a warm, loving, hug from my parents long gone.
There are still other performances of MAPA that you will enjoy to watch. Their performance at WishUSA bus, that will also help you id each SB19 member faster. There is also their MAPA orchestra version performance at the Forte Pop concert. There is an actual MV, part of an ad for Selecta Ice Cream. I always enjoy the different performance versions on stage during any of their concerts for any of their songs..it will show how they spice up the songs through the years and how they continue to improve and evolve.
Btw, there is another Ben&Ben collab with SB19, look for the MV for the song 'Kapangyarihan' ( means Power).
I also enjoy Ben & Ben songs..one of them is entitled 'Leaves' hope you can react to that as well.❤
I always cried out loud MAPA Of SB19. Lost my parents almost decades missed them so dearly. Thank you SB19. Watching from Canada
I’m only at the beginning of your rv and I know I’m going to enjoy your take. If you want to see the guys sing it (or any of their songs) live, the Wish Bus performances are it. The band version is great but delivers a different feeling, imo. It’s more celebratory a bit less hit-in-the-gut feels. Thanks for this.
Edit: we all felt the same way you felt when we first heard Mapa. I still do, actually. Also, wordplay. You will get a lot of that with SB19/Pablo.
❤❤❤ thank you for reacting to my favorite boy group!! ❤❤❤
I remember my friend's son with this song.... he danced this song at my friend's funeral, his mom...she was a single mom, worked and migrated abroad all her life to provide a living for her son. Finally, when the papers of the son were approved to migrate and had their chance to be together, she was striken with cancer. After few months together, she died.. to express his grief and emotions, he danced this song.. sad story..
thank you for that.... such a sad story, giving the song such a deep meaning for you
Ben&Ben is that 9 member band, and yes, their band name from the pair of twin brothers named Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin
One of the most genuine reaction i heard and saw. :)
thank you :)
I Want You very much as a reactor. You reached the depth of the song as well as of the sound.
thank you so much
❤
Love ur reaction, slmt po
I love it when reactors notice the little details that means so much. I feel sad when others don't catch them. You are a very good reactor!
Ben&Ben are a Filipino indie folk-pop band,… they're a pair of twin brothers named Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin thats why they called their group BEN & BEN 😅
Mapa on wish bus is one of the best live version ❤❤
You just got the real meaning of the song thanks. In addition MA,PA is not only means MAMA AND PAPA, MAPS it's also MATA (eyes) and PAA (feet). Ben&Ben is a different group they are with all the instruments it's a Collab with SB19
They have a Wish Bus USA live performance and it also has an English subtitle. Pablo the leader of the group wrote the song during Pandemic, when they're doing their laundry he asked each member what they want to tell their parents because they missed them so much; that is how Pablo created the masterpiece MAPA.
Yes MAPA has two meaning in our country, MAPA literally translate MAP in English and short for Mama and Papa.
Yes, Ben&Ben is another Philippine band and their songs are hit in korea. I love the collaboration between SB19 and Ben&Ben.
That portion.. Lataratara.. is a lullaby sung by mothers to their babies… and I think in this song, is sung back to them by their children…
I love your realization of MAPA being a map and Ma, and Pa at the same time and how you captured the meaning. You grasped it well!
Ben&Ben is a different band. They are also outstanding. I especially love , Ben&Ben’s “Leaves” . Check them out too.
OMG!i love ur reaction sir...i agree on u..the song for me is like a REMINDER..heres the fact that all people is growing,and when we were growing,sometimes were bz of our owned life that has different kinds of problem we facing in each and everyday and most of the time we forgotten what our parents teaching us everything and loving us unconditionally..and inspite of it should remind us that even if we growing now still MaPa is everything in our cycle of life.they part of us...again tq sir for continuing reacting to our artist. From Philippines🇵🇭 SB19❤❤❤
thank you , glad you liked it
I'm always in awe whenever a foreigner gets the true meaning of this song of SB19, you got it perfect, Mom and Dad are the best map for their children. And here in the Philippines we honor so much our parents for taking care of us, providing for us and loving us, their children unconditionally (disclaimer: I am not saying that in other country they don't do that, the honoring thing lol it's just different here)
thank you so much for your kind words :)
One of the leading ice cream brands in the Philippines, Selecta, sponsored an MV for Mapa. It was actually an ad starring the boys and it depicts their childhood memories. So heartwarming.
MaPa...every time I hear this song my tears keeps falling 😢😢😢 because the lyrics strike my heart 💔...
Thank you Pierre for reacting to our SB19 request, and yeah I did mention you before that it is a heart felt ballad song. This time be emotionally prepare for another ballad song (LIHAM, ILAW), same as MAPA. This songs have deep feeling and shows their vulnerability.
Please try their lives at Wish Bus you will be blown away how great their live vocals are
From time to time, I visit the lyric video just to listen and reminisce and fall inlove with their voices over and over again.
MAPA is a tearjerker song! It was perfectly written and full of emotions because this was dedicated to our parents. It's so relatable that it will cut you deep.
How many times do I need to cry to a Mapa rv😢 I always love how you get the meaning of each SB19 song. I want more❤ Mapa wishbus live performance will again hit different
I love your reaction ❤
