Para akong nagsusumbong sa sarili ko or para akong nagsasabi sa sarili ko na this time di na tayo maggi-give up. Together, we will hold each other&#x27;s hands na someday tutuparin natin &#x27;yung dream natin,&quot; he said.</p><p>Maki relayed that with &quot;Dilaw,&quot; which is a song about self-love, was a track that he wanted to be able to relate to throughout his life.</p><p>&quot;Nung sinulat ko yung &#x27;Dilaw,&#x27; sinabi ko sa sarili ko na this song, ito &#x27;yung kanta na lagi kong babalikan even when I&#x27;m older. Even na matanda na ako, may mga anak na ako, may mga apo, ganyan.
