Ito ay pribado, pwedeng banggitin. Ito ay pribado, sensitibo parte ko. Ang labi ay pribado, wag basta pahalikan sa kung sino-sino. Bawal yan, bawal yan.” the song’s lyrics goes. </p><div><br/></div><p>The song stressed the urgency for the children to report any sexual harassment to the parents if it occurs. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Mali yan, mali yan. Wag mo akong hawakan. Isusumbong kita kay nanay at kay tatay. Pribadong parte ng katawan iniingatan.” </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/21/toni-fowler-on-her-song-mpl-hindi-po-yun-para-sa-lahat-248" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Toni Fowler on her song ‘MPL’: ‘Hindi po ‘yun para sa lahat’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Netizens applauded Toni, Vince, and Papi in the comment section for doing the song as it highlights the importance of keeping children safe in all places.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Can’t wait for this to go viral.

Young people need to understand how to respect themselves and know the importance of consent,” a fan wrote.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Some might laugh or make fun of this video, but the message behind it is no joke.
