We appreciate all the love and kindness we received in our last video ❤Thank you for recommending this to us :)
Josh who sung that Dad part , did not see his father growing up and never met him , so think how hard that is for him to sing and Ken is raise by his grandparents as his parents are working overseas , this song was compose during the pandemic where they all are away from their parents and can’t come home because of the lockdown
Please react to ILAW also and LiHAM ❤❤ by sb19 thank you
❤❤❤Thanks for.granting.our request,as mom and daughter myself this made my day❤❤❤i felt your mom is a good at hearted person❤❤❤Please send our love from the Philippines
@maxpbeaumont I Hope, you can watch SB19's concert soon with your mom. Love lots from A'TIN. 💙
Thanks for reacting to this song Max! And we appreciate it sharing it to your mom and getting into the bits of it emotionally and even sharing us a little bit more about of yourself as the song moved you. This song is dedicated for the Mom(Ma) and Dad(Pa) in people's lives, but also in general to people who guided you in life, hence the name MAPA(filipino word for MAP in English). Hope you continue loving songs of SB19 even more and maybe you and your mom get to see SB19 perform live in the near future! They've recently visited Canada actually for their last tour! Thanks again for this reaction!🙏
Your mom is so precious, she cried instantly when she heard the word “mama”. I bet she’s really a good mom
Up
Yeah, and Max seems to be a loving son too to his Mom. ♥️
Yeah she is
She actually started to cry when she heard the lyrics "We don't always see each other anymore" because it is really touching and a sad reality for most of us like me. I'm working elsewhere thus, I don't live with my mom anymore and not able to visit her very often so this song always remind me that I need to spend more time with her and show my love more. Honestly, I'm also always teary eyed whenever I hear this song play randomly. Thisis one of my favorites.
Pablo is so smart using MAPA with a lot of meaning. MAPA(MAMA(mother)PAPA(father) , MAPA(MAta(eyes) and PAa(feet).
In short our mom is our eyes when the surroundings is starting to change and our dad is our feet who's guiding us in our life.
our parents is our MAPA(map) in our life. Thanks for reaction. 🥰
yeah the MAP serves as a guide. Our parents are our map that would lead us to the right place.
Yeah
@@josenacionales1139 They really are ♥️♥️
I’d like to add… besides our parents being our guide, most of the Filipino parents are OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) so the map visual is also a symbolism for the unsung heroes of our country.
I feel you guys, even me cried too... So touching ❤
This song became the favorite Graduation song on many schools in the Philippines. Tribute to parents for their undying support and care to their children. 🏆🤩
Salute...
That's true
I am estranged from my abusive and neglectful parents and this song makes me cry too. This song makes me see from the point of view of someone who actually had loving parents, so I can at least imagine what it's like.
they created this song during the pandemic when they were away from their parents. all of the boys are such loving sons as what we can see, they really are a true living testament of the message of this song helping their parents out now...giving back to them. proud fan here!! thank you for appreciating our boys. 💕💕
5:22 you know what? The member who sang that line about papa, is Josh, who also never met his father and live only with his mother and sister. Sending hug for you guys 💙
True😢😢😢
I was about to say it. 😢
His father abandoned them when he was still a baby.
True 😢😢
When he was still in his mother's womb, his mom and dad were no longer together..
came here to say this but yeah, papa can be anyone who is your father figure, even your mom who played both roles for you.. ❤
It's just refreshing when you see a full-grown man expressing his love for his mom without being embarrassed. And this quality every woman should be looking for in a man.
Every time I watched other channels playing this 🎵 I cried. I told myself I'm not going to cry this time but the moment it says MAMA I can't helped it.

What a perfect expression of love, love. Love for parents. This is also very apparent in filipino practice of taking care of parents when they get old.That is why there are very few nursing homes here. What a beautiful culture.
I cried like a river the moment your mom started to cry. All of the SB19 boys are the best example of loving and grateful sons who love their parents and family. They said that they are working hard for their families. That is why they are role models for the whole world.
Pablo is an excellent lyricist. Mapa is a masterpiece.
Up
Indeed
Super Agree 👍💯
The lyrics of this song was taken from the 4 as well...
MaPa means a lot...
Ma-mama
Pa-Papa
Mapa- map , their MaPa is their guide wherever they go bringing all the advice and love from their parents, symbolizing the guiding role that parents play to their children.❤
Papa lines is being sang by Josh wio also grew up with no dad...but Papa not exactly pertaining to your real dad...that could be ur uncle or anybody that took the shoes of your real dad..it can be ur mom too that stands by u as mom and dad❤️❤️❤️
JUST by this song, I could easily say, how great and beautiful PABLO's heart is. Let's face it, not all would write this kind of song. Most, having a hard time just to say or express how they feel to their parents. And this song, somehow, a way to let tour parents know how you feel about them.. SB19 never fails to express what feeling should you feel for the song they are performing. Their emotions are so contagious, wether it be a hype, a banger,or a love song. They will put their listeners ' into that very moment. They are so passionate. SB19 is A GREAT STORYTELLER!❤
The mere word of saying “mama” does invoke an emotional reaction to the person saying it. As well as saying the word “papa”. These are not just words to call your parents but they are deeply endearing, soothing, and a very gentle word to say.
I began following SB19 while taking care of my 96 year old dad for his final years with us. I watched this song over and over through reactions of people of all ages all over the world. Your mom's reaction is normal! Just a little background, Ken, with the low voice was raised by his Grandparents as his parents chose to work overseas to provide for their family. He had only seen them a few times in his life. Josh,who sang the Papa part, was raised by his mom and never met his dad. He finally met his half siblings but sadly it was to late to meet his dad. This song is dedicated to any parent figure that helps to raise children! This is a very different group! Every SB19 ballad is emotional and special! The lyric video was designed by Justin, the youngest member and creative director of the group. Might I suggest the Wish USA bus performance, with English subs to get to know the actual members! After that Nyebe is another beautiful song. The official visualizer has English subs.
MAPA on wish bus has an additional harmonies and seeing the boys sing this masterpiece
Thank you for taking the time to tell this backstory. It makes the song mean more. A masterpiece melodically really, and the lyrics are just SO SO touching, go straight for the heart.

My mother died two years ago due to Chronic Kidney Disease and my sister took care of her while I was working abroad to send money for her treatment, until the last moments, my sister took care of her. Now, I'm here in the Philippines working, my sister and I are with Papa, he's 62 years old but in God's mercy, he is always happy even in the midst of trials.We promised mama before she passed away that we would take care of Papa. Thank you very much Mom and Dad for the love you showered on us.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I hope everybody appreciates the word play in this song...
The title is MAPA. In Filipino it means, a map.
Our parents are the maps that guide us in this world.
But, it's also short for... Ma (Mom) and Pa (Dad)
And in the lyrics... the Ma (mom) is the MAta (or eyes), and the Pa (dad) is the PAa (or feet)
Eyes and feet that guide us through life.
So beautiful ♥
Hi, Max! You mom is correct. MAPA is the combination of "Ma" (mother) and "Pa" (father), at the same time it means "map" in our language. The title itself implies that our parents are our life guide. The song is indeed a wonderful piece made by Pablo, and the beautiful voices of the other members added more flavor to it. I'm glad that you and your awesome mom appreciated it. 😊

also, MAta (eyes) and PAa (feet)
@@mveacedillo7560 Wordplay is definitely a Pablo trademark. 😁

Thank you for reacting to this wonderful masterpiece and watching SB19's legendary talents. Having your mom tear up on the first note got me. I'm happy to see you watching this with your mom... you may not have a father figure, but you have your MAPA sitting beside you, she's your ma and pa in one.❤❤❤

True
❤️❤️❤️
This song made me cry so hard. Unfortunately, my mom died from cancer before she had the chance to finish her map for me. This will always be a missing part in my life. She died when I was 18 years old, now I'm 56. I'm grateful for SB19 to come into my life, I love these guys so much. So please enjoy your time together.
😢😢😢
❤
♥
I also lost my mom because of cancer when I was 18, I'm 24 now and I still regret not being able to give back everything she had done for us. But yeah, i'm also happy her suffering ended and I hope they she don't worry too much and just be happy wherever she is right now. Just sharing hehe anyways I love this song so much 🤧
In this rare occasion that you can open up to your parent like this, it just shows how important music is and the message it relays to people. I am glad you had a great moment as mother and son. I'm glad you enjoyed this song though it's a tearjerker.
don't worry, mommy. you're not the only one. a lot got emotional with this song. i think a lot of people resonate with the song that's why it gained a lot of views. here in the philippines, it has become a trend in graduation programs for graduates to perform this song as tribute to their parents.
Mapa=ma(ma) &pa(pa)parents
Mapa=(ma)ta eyes &(pa)a feet
Mapa=map
What a strong message for us
Meaningful
Beautiful
❤❤❤ thank you Pablo and Sb19
Thank you for reacting to this MV. I appreciate how you and your mom are able to really articulate your thoughts and feelings. It is also nice to see you bonding with your mom. Appreciate your sharing this moment with us.
There are lots of double meanings in SB19 songs. Many listeners enjoy picking them out as they go through the lyrics of SB19 songs. I'm sure you will, too, as you go down that rabbit hole. Looking forward to your next RV on SB19.
It’s actually a perfect song for both of you to react to because it serves as a conversation piece for the parent and the child to be open to discuss how they feel for each other when, otherwise without it, some might find it difficult to sort of get the ball rolling. This song never fails to make me emotional, as well, it’s a certified classic and will always be relatable to everyone who listens to it. 💙
Dont worry max, josh also who sang the papa line doesnt know his father but he delivered the song full of emotion.
It's so heart warming seeing you react to this with your mom. I tell my mom I love her every time we talk but I sent her this video to fully express how I feel. My dad sadly is no longer with us so the 2nd verse is very special for me as I'm a daddy's girl. This is SB19's most famous song and I became a fan of them after I heard this. They are a group with so much talent and substance. Thank you for featuring them in your channel.❤ proud A'tin from the UK.
MAPA is for sure a lasting tribute to your mother who raised you well. It's a precious moment to see a mother and her son reacting to this endearing song of SB19. Lots of love from the Philippines.
You know what Max, the first few lines of the “father” verse is sang by Josh and he is just like you. He had no relationship with his father and if I remember it right, he doesn’t even know him. So, you can imagine the courage he needed to muster to sing those lines without breaking down. That’s why we A’tin genuinely love the boys because of their life stories. Their talents are just icing on a cake. Hugs to your mom for making her cry. 🤗💕
This song means so much to us, Filipinos especially A'tin. This hits me so hard as my father is undergoing medication, fighting cancer. My eyes always get emotional when I hear this song and thank you for appreciating our boys. 🎉❤
I'm glad you like this songs " MAPA' the messages indeed are powerful ! Because of this song I admired SB19 originality of making each songs they made ! Finally SB19 received lot of recognitions International . They are very humble and each of them have a unique talents , you'll be surprised !
We appreciate your time and kind words !
I just remember my mom while im working as a ofw and giving everything for my parents to make 11:09 her happy til she past away😢😢 i love you in heaven mom❤️❤️❤️
Same here
Actually, the video is a story itself. From the paper boat which we enjoyed playing during childhood to the paper airplane representing adulthood when we go to faraway places but always coming back home. MAPA (our parents) also translates to map that will guide us wherever we go. Also our moral compass so we won't ever get lost. 😊
In the Philippines, we don't put our older parents in the nursing home, just as our grandparents if they are still around. They live in our homes too. The one who sang the tribute to the father is Josh - he grew up without knowing his Dad. It's important that he accepts this, so Pablo let him sing that part. Music is really universal, messages about parents makes you cry. Thank you for reacting to this widely listened SB19 song. Let your son find a Filipino girl and she will love you too like she loves her Mom!!!
This reaction video has become one of your bonding moments with your mom. One for the books indeed. Thank you for sharing this precious reaction of you and your mom to SB19's MAPA. ❤ much love!
How i wish i have my mom here beside me at this very moment. I lost her when i was 2 years old. As i grew older i always longing for that unconditional love only mom can give. Life wasn't easy lately, but surely Mom is up there whispering " you wll win this my Child."
Aaww.. crying on the first word, Mama after the "Lataratara"( lullaby).. seeing you reacting with your mom is such a precious moment❤ Mapa also means "MAP" in english that's why the visual is map. There's a line "i will not be lost anytime for i brought the map, wherever i go i know where i came from"
If you still have time to react with your mom, this song is more emotional when they sing it live.. there's Wish bus USA and also they sang it with their parents-full of emotions everyone is tearing❤
Thank you for this..
I won't stop requesting Prambors interview.. hahaha.. it's also good if you watch it with your mom so you both discover their personalities and i want to hear your thoughts too, i like your mom's reaction sir.. thank you so much❤️
Up!!
so basically, your mom and dad is your map in this world... wow
Thank you for appreciating our Filipino artists. As Pablo said, music is universal that is why it moves us deep when we hear music like this. Grateful for all our parents out there!
I'm in so proud of 🎉you having a loving and a wonderful Mama👏👏👏 and being a kind son like you ...your so appreciative for what your Mama done to you❤❤❤😊
Thank you for reacting to MAPA, hugs to your mom from another mom in the Philippines.
Pablo is the SONGWRITER not only the LYRICIST.. he creates both the melody and lyrics..
Im so touched with your mom's reaction. She is so nice and a good mom to you, a loving one. Pablo writes songs to also promote the Filipino culture and music. As you can see in the lyric video, we Filipinos are family oriented. We do take care of our elders when they grow old that's why home for the aged not very usual here.
I like what you said there, "The music that I love the most are the ones that moved me."
Being Filipino, we acknowledged the sacrifices our parents did for working so hard to give us the best life, to get education, everything. And now that we are able to stand on our own, we'd like to repay (for the lack of terms) by taking care of them in their old age and see to it that they got everything they need. It is emotional because it's a taboo for us to discuss such things with our parents, we just do it.
That's my opinion.
That was a beautiful songs dedicated to parents that makes me emotional everytime I hear that song.
Awh, this is such a special moment for you and your mom. This is the power of music 💖✨ Warm hugs to you both.
Oh, wow! Never expected you would do this so soon but I am glad you did. And your mom already cried after only listening to the first line. That was something else.
This song was born out of a laundry room when they were quarantined together during the Covid 19 Pandemic. They were missing their families so much and Pablo asked them what would they like to say to their parents. This was just a heartwarming tribute not just to their parents and guardians but to all our loving parents who sacrificed so much for us. This song is a staple during graduation ceremonies and even weddings.
Just a little backgrounder. Josh sang the Papa part and he was so brave to take it in as he and his sister grew up without knowing their dad. They were raised by a single mom and became so poor he became homeless by age 15.
Ken grew up without his parents. They were living in a far flung province and were so poor his parents decided to work in Malaysia, leaving him and his sister in the care of his grandparents. His grandfather and father are both pastors so Ken grew up in a Christian church and that's where his musical talents got honed. Every time he has a chance during interviews, he is so proud to say that he is a Pastor's kid and grandkid. When they had their first online concert, Ken was crying when he was singing his part because he was missing his family so much. He only got to see his parents twice at that time, once when he was 5 yrs old and once when he was 1st year college. Towards the end of the song, the other member's parents and families went out the stage. Ken was smiling and so happy for them, only to be surprised when his sister and uncle appeared. He then fell on the floor and cried so hard. This was the boys' surprise for him, knowing how much it will mean to him. They said they were all nervous Ken might see them beforehand as they were staying in the same hotel.
I am so happy that they have become successful as the road they took to reach where they are right now was never easy. They faced so much difficulties and the one reason they pushed thru was their families. And in spite of all the success, their feet remained firmly on the ground and always looks back to their humble beginnings.
Hopefully, you can also watch with your mom the live version of MAPA on Wish Bus USA. They sound better singing this live and it's English subbed as well.
Thank you for sharing this with your mom. I hope we can see more of her in the future.
I’m crying from the start of the video..this song never fails to make me cry 😭 I miss my Mama and Papa
My mother is 84 and have dementia, and bedridden, i do everything to care of her just like what she do to me when i was a baby until growing up.
Thanks for this rv Max, you and your mom are brilliant. Love your genuine reactions. I got teary eyed the moment your mom cried, even how many times I've watched this vid. It still got me wiping my tears. This is one of the songs that would definitely make me emotional every time I will listen to it. Thanks SB19 much love to you MAHALIMA 💕
Mom started crying and I bawled my eyes out. 😭😂😭
Love this mother and son duo.🥰
You two have such a beautiful relationship. Love you guys.
❤
Love you brother
Bakit ako naiiyak ilang beses ko na ito pinakinggan 😭😭😭😭😭
SB19 are genuine and humble human beings. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song. If you want to experience their live performance please watch their Wish USA Bus. They made it even more beautiful if that's possible.

Genuine reaction of a mother😊😊😊😊
God bless,
New subscriber overseas Filipino workers in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 😊❤
Pablo's lyricism and Justin's creativity for the lyric video is everything. As a whole SB19 delivers this song so well that made millions of people cry😅. SB19 lyrics and music are top notch and full or sense, substance and inspiration.
Thank you for this RV with your mom. ❤
They are good partners in arranging songs.
the meaning of the song is good, children should appreciate the hard work of their parents
FYI Max, here in the PH🇵🇭 students Perform this during Their Recognition / Graduation Day, while Their Parents Surrounds Them.. A Thanksgiving Tribute to Their Parents Untiring Efforts just to make sure They could have Great Future ahead.. Like your Mom, Me as a Parent too, I felt Great too knowing my children were already Stable and the Assurance that They will pass the same Advises and Guidance we gave to them.. Which is the most Conforting Feeling being Parents.. 💕🇵🇭
I feel you mom everytime i heard this mapa i cried so hard my mom past away when i was young and this songs remind me how i miss her so much,thank you and Godbless
Seeing you crying i cried too
Reading your comment makes me cry, too 😢 ❤
Your mom's tearing up on the first line is enough for a reaction.❤
Wow your mom is so good.this song about out parent ❤ very good song .sb19
Your Mom is also the one who stood sa your dad. I commend your Mom.
Josh who sang the father part is a father less one he said he never met his father the whole time of his being nevertheless he was able to give justice on his part on this song he even ask Pablo to give this part to him maybe as a selfchallenge😊
MAPA is the 1st song i loved not knowing sang by sb19,from then on i became an A'tin
That's the Filipino culture, we take care of our parents especially when they get older.
The worst time to watch this reaction is when you’re on a public transpo. Everyone thinks I’m a mess now cause I’m bawling my eyes out. And it’s not even then first time I heard this song.
Woahh did'nt expect you would drop another SB19 reaction this fast 🥺, thank you so much Max ✨
what a beautiful, lovely bond you have w/ ur Mom, so emotional ❤.Thanks for this great reaction..
Up
The best gift you can give to your parents are your time and love. You have a very beautiful mom ❤
As a parent myself, this song really hit hard. New subscriber from the Philippines.
the irony is that Josh is singing the father’s line … he didn’t have relationship with his dad too.
Watching from Edmonton, Alberta...because if this song I'm gonna visit my dad who is going to be 93 yrs old on April. I haven't visit him since 2019 and i miss him.
🩵
No hesitation with sonic speed... Go...
sending hugs to your mom love from A'TIN philippines💙🇵🇭
A very meaningful & touching Filipino song🙏❤️❤️❤️
The song started, and we could see your mother's LOVE for you right away: She truly does love you.
I heard this song a hundred times already and I consider this song as a promise to my parents that I will get to that point where I can tell them to rest and let me do things for them but I cried again watching your genuine reactions. Pablo asked the members what they wanted to say to their Parents/ parent figures and He is fond of wordplay. Your Mom was right that this song is for Mama and Papa and MAPA means Map, because they are our guide in life that's why we'll never be lost. Justin, (creative director) showed here that a parent's job is 24/7 that's why there's a sun and moon on the map. Like you, Josh who sang the Father part never met his Dad but still slayed his part. Thank you for appreciating them and Please watch their wish bus performance with CC on. Thank You in advance, May You and your Mom create more beautiful memories together 💙💠
So special reaction of ur mother i cried the moment she cries
I'm a young mom so I am in the middle of doing everything for my kid... and I believe even if she won't tell me she appreciates me this time I feel that from her daily presence and I am just happy I am doing well as a mom for her.
The lataratara part is actually taken from a common lullaby our moms used to sing us when we were babies :) and your mom is right MAPA means mama and papa but also means MAPA (filipino term) as in MAP that's why the video is more of map representing the guidance our parents provided, the life map.
Awww, this is a beautiful RV with your mom ❤
What matters your Mom, stood as your father and mother to you. You are Bless!
As an Sb19 fan and agrandgfather.now.I Really felt all what Pablo wrote in this song. With my experience in life all those words I all heard it with my three sons. So I can really feel Andi appreciate the song.
Whether you're a son, daughter or parent, anyone can relate. So touching.❤️
Josh sang the “dad” part and like you he does not have a relationship with his father. He grew up without a Dad. This was so beautiful. You made me cry!!! 🥹
This Mom and son reaction video cuts across families with beautiful similar life experiences. Mapa might seem simple but profound and rich in meaning. It's a wealth of metaphors that connect peoples and families in societies, thus, deserving of its universal appeal and resonance. Enjoy Ma & Pa's presence while they last long, or you're forever regretful. Ma & Pa's just around the corner, so pay them back for their generational blessings to you and the family without being asked .
My tear drops the moment your Mom felt the soulful of the song.
This song is realization.. sometimes we do forget our parents because we are too busy as an adult ! Watching our parents starting having white hair and wrinkles it’s strike so bad that they are getting old and felt like time is getting shorter as time goes by …
If I remember correctly, Pablo assigned the Papa line to Josh specifically despite being fatherless bec in a way he also now stands as a father-figure to his family (mom & sister) ❤❤❤
Filipinos always took care of their elders, there are few home for the aged here. ❤️🧙♀️🧙♂️
This song makes you think of how to treat your parents now that you are capable.
Thank you once again for your reactions to our beloved SB19’s MAPA. I knew you’ll love the song and its simple meaning. It touches all of us when we talked about of our parents. Just watching you guys’ reactions made me cry too…haha😉.
More power to both you and your mom😇🫰.
It gets me every time I listen to this song. SB19 are all very humble guys and they really love their families.
They worked hard to where they are now and they did it despite all the trials and that strength just shows how strong their parents must be.
I wish my child would be like them. I wish my child would be like this song.
my mom died last year. I always listening on this song and always tell me that I always bring my mom's teaching. I really miss her voice calling me on my name and calling her mama. rest in peace mom
keep that good bonds on your mother/mom/mama
thank for this video❤❤
I am crying with your mom 😭😭. Can't help it as a mom myself and as daughter whois miles away from my dear Mama 😢😢
Amazing..SB19 PPOP Philippines boy band🇵🇭👌👍
And it could also mean
Ma=Mata(eyes)
Pa=Paa(feet)
I always cry everytime i heard this song Mapa, it'a a masterpiece from SB19
everytime i see the reactions of parent's like this to this filipino song which is sb19 "MAPA" ... I cry because i remember my mom who pass away i miss her so much
Such a good song … am crying with you while watching you guys …. Am also a mom , I do hope my kids have the same feelings that the song is conveying ….i totally got the message and I miss my Dad… Really want to stay more with my mom who’s 93 y/o , am retiring early to take care of her . Thank you Pablo for composing this song …..
I am glad I retired early to take care of my mom while she could still recognize me and feel my love and care as her daughter. She passed away last year at the age of 99. I miss her still. Am glad SB19 did this song cause not only is it a tribute to our parents but a timely reminder to children to take care of and show love and attention to their parents while they are still alive and strong enough or still in possession of their faculties so that they could appreciate and feel how much they are loved and valued by them.
Mapa
Ma- mama
Pa-papa
Mapa tagalog words mean map.
Other gems in this song that make the song (and Pablo's songwriting genius) even greater once you know them:
"Lataratara tara" - From a lullaby Pablo recalls from his childhood, that he built this song around that is now being sung back to the parents. Going full circle!
"Ma ... You are my eyes" 👀-- The Tagalog word for eye is "mata", which begins with the syllable "Ma"
"Pa ... You are my feet" 👣 -- The Tagalog word for feet is "paa", which begins with the syllable "Pa"
and another wordplay of MAPA MA for mata in tagalog (eyes ) and PA for paa (feet)
mapa (map in english ) Ma(mama or mother) Pa (papa of father)
you're lucky max that you still have you're mom with you..coz' you can hug her kiss her and tell her how much you love her..i miss my mom in heaven..😢
I came back here to say... big hugs to mom. She looks like an strong woman and she loves you much!
