🍎 WAKAS AT SIMULA: BEHIND THE STORY
Pablo opens up about the story behind Wakas: from the emotions he carried while writing it to the realization that time continues to move forward relentlessly.
Yet even as one story comes to an end, another begins. #TheStoryContinues through every memory, every lesson, and every dream we pursue together. Because no dream is achieved alone, and every step forward is one we take together.

Justin, the bunso [boon-soh] (youngest) of Philippines' biggest global act, SB19 released "Dahon" (Leaf). I tried to translate it to english for those who want to appreciate the lyrics (AI helped me with some words). It's not a literal translation. I tried to match the poetry. Filipino, the language, has so much emotional depth. Even daily conversations could feel like an emotional essay.

"Sa'yo" (To You) — English Trans
Verse 1
Though your heart may wander toward a thousand different dreams,
Though your eyes may drift to distant places,
Though your lips are shy with all they cannot say,
Even when you frustrate me,
Even when I sulk and turn away,
I'll still be the one reaching for your hand, because—
Pre-Chorus
There's no one else I long to see
For all my days.
No other smile
Can move me quite the same.
Chorus
Only you, only you, only you.
Only you, only you—
Still you.
Though the leaves may fall,
Though countless years may pass,
Though everything in this world should change,
I will remain with you.
Verse 2
Even if the day should come
When you are the one who hurts me,
I'll return to where our story first began.
We cannot stop the hands of time,
So I'll treasure every month we're given,
Find a way somehow
To fit an entire lifetime
Inside this tiny world.
Pre-Chorus
There's no one else I wish to walk beside
For all my days.
No other name
Feels sweeter on my lips.
Chorus
Only you, only you, only you.
Only you, only you—
Still you.
Though the leaves may fall,
Though countless years may pass,
Though everything in this world should change,
I will remain.
Bridge
With every shift in the wind,
Even when it feels like a storm,
With every new version of you
That I come to know,
With every word left unspoken,
I catch a glimpse of it
At the corners of your eyes.
And like the leaves that rise toward the heavens
Only to rest upon the earth,
Whether our chapter is long or short,
Whether it brings tenderness
Or hardship,
Though everything in this world should change,
I will remain with you.

The visions of the past often reveal the purpose behind the journey.
During the Wakas at Simula era, we asked Josh what goal became clearer to him. His answer was hopeful: “Showing the world what Filipino artists can do.”
Is this how he wants to continue the story?
