We were at the height of the pandemic pa and nasulat ko siya bago mag-Pasko,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;Nung time na ‘yun, hindi lahat well-privileged or i-enjoy kung anuman ‘yung parang sinasabi nga nila na Pasko.

We just hope and pray na matatapos ang lahat.&quot;</p><p>Echoing Nase, Josh Cullen Santos and Felip &quot;Ken&quot; Suson shared how they relate to the song and how they handle their struggles in life.</p><p>&quot;To learn, to let go of mga bagay na hindi talaga kaya. ‘Di na masyadong pilitin, hindi na masyadong i-pressure sarili kasi mayroon talagang mga bagay na kahit anong pilitin mo, hindi talaga pwede. So you can learn to stop. Enough is enough. Kailangan mong i-let go ang feelings kung anuman ‘yan,&quot; Suson said.</p><p>&quot;What you could do is hope. And matunaw din ‘yung nyebe, na malampasan lahat ng stuggles and battles ko na kinakaharap sa buhay. I’ve been actually holding on to that line ever since. And hopefully nga po, matapos din po lahat,&quot; Santos added.</p><p>&quot;Kahit na hindi ko sila nakakasama everyday, nararamdaman nila na nandoon ako palagi at talagang tumatama lang talaga sa’kin ‘yung lyrics kasi napapanahon talaga sa’ming lahat kasi malayo kami sa family, sa friends.&quot;</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g9A_kFURpYo?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
