Channeling her journey from pain to empowerment.
On Thursday, January 8, Kapamilya actress, singer, and host Maymay Entrata unveiled her newest single entitled Masunog Man.
This song, which centers on resilience, strength, and liberation, is said to have been inspired by her own experience of pain and healing during her mother’s illness and eventual passing last year.
“Itong ‘Masunog Man’ ay nagrereflect siya sa kung paano ako magmahal,” told Maymay. “Two years ago, hindi po ako nag-share kung ano yung pinagdaanan ko. Na-diagnose ang nanay ko ng malubhang sakit at pinili ko na hindi ko siya ibahagi sa publiko.”
She continued, “Hindi po maiwasan yung panahon na nasaktan ako pero dahil sa strength na ibinibigay ng Panginoon sa akin pinili kong lumaban.“
Maymay also said that the pain she felt is symbolized by the word “burn,” noting that the feeling is similar to “burning inside,” especially during those times.
“Even po I’m still hurting at yung hurt na yun nagsi-symbolize siya ng parang burn, parang nasusunog ako inside dahil sa sobrang sakit na nararamdaman ko nung panahon na yun, pero masaya naman ako after po nun dahil naintindihan naman ng karamihan yung pinagdaanan ko,” she furthered.
Tbe 28-year-old also shared that she is dedicating the song tk those who went through a similar situation. “Gusto ko ipamahagi itong kanta dun sa mga lumalaban nang tahimik na sana po hindi nyo pagsisihan lahat ng sakripisyong binigay nyo dahil nagmamahal lang naman kayo, nagmamahal lang naman tayo ng walang hinihiling na kapalit.”
The music video, which was uploaded on Thursday, has been viewed over 23,000 views on the platform.
Prior to this, she has released the hit track Amakabogera, which was followed by Paradise, Tsada Mahigugma, Autodedma, and her own version of Viktoria’s Puede Ba?, among others.
