Maymay Entrata channels her journey from pain to empowerment in her cathartic and powerful new song titled “Masunog Man.”
The Kapamilya actress-singer shared that the anthem—centered on resilience, strength, and liberation—was inspired by her experience of pain and healing during her mother’s illness and eventual passing.
“Itong ‘Masunog Man’ ay nagrereflect siya sa kung paano ako magmahal. 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,” the “Roja” star told the audience present at the “Masunog Man” launch last Wednesday.
“Hindi po maiwasan yung panahon na nasaktan ako pero dahil sa strength na ibinibigay ng Panginoon sa akin pinili kong lumaban. 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,” Maymay explained.
She also shared that she wants to dedicate “Masunog Man” to those who are going through a similar ordeal.
“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,” she said.
“Masunog Man” is her latest single under ABS-CBN’s StarPop label. Her growing discography includes “Amakabogera,” “Paradise,” “Tsada Mahigugma,” and more.
@lionheartv “Masunog Man” reflects how I love, I choose to keep going kahit masakit at parang nasusunog na. The song is about embracing the pain that comes with genuine love. Para sa’kin, mas pipiliin kong magmahal kahit masakit kaysa mabuhay sa pagsisisi. Para sa lahat ng may pusong hindi sumusuko. @maymay #MasunogMan #MaymayEntrata #StarPopPH #ABSCBNMusic #EntertainmentNewsPH
