On February 22, a fan wondered whether his use of “din” and “rin” was interchanged. Then, Pablo later took to his platform to explain further, allowing fans a glimpse into his approach as a songwriter.
Uy tenkyu. Tho deliberate sya. Yun yung beauty ng music at poetry. Walang rules. Pero try mo kantahin. Kapag “din” ang ginamit, hindi sya magiging madulas pakinggan. Instead na mapunta ang focus at diin dun sa “yung bisa”. Magkakaroon sya ng diin sa gitna dahil sa “d” sound. 🙂

Instead na mapunta ang focus at diin dun sa “yung bisa”. Magkakaroon sya ng diin sa gitna dahil sa “d” sound (Thank you. Though it was deliberate. That’s the beauty of music and poetry—there are no rules. But try singing it. If ‘din’ were used, it wouldn’t sound as smooth. Instead of the focus and emphasis landing on ‘yung bisa,’ the stress would fall in the middle because of the ‘d’ sound),” he explained.
While the fan apologized for how they phrased their question and clarified that they were simply curious to learn more about the song, Pablo took the time to respond once again, highlighting the importance of open dialogue and respectful conversation among fans.
Alam mo, gets nga rin kita eh. Hahaha Di ko sure bakit lumalaki pa to. Inexplain ko lang talaga yung dahilan kung bakit ko sha ginagawa. Wag sana tayo too sensitive. Ganto ba talaga makipag usap ngayon? Secured din naman akong tao, no need to defend. No need to start a fire. :))

“Inexplain ko lang talaga yung dahilan kung bakit ko sha ginagawa. Wag sana tayo too sensitive. Ganto ba talaga makipag usap ngayon? Secured din naman akong tao (I’m just explaining the reason why I’m doing it. Hopefully, we’re not too sensitive. Is this really how people talk to each other these days? I’m also secure), no need to defend. No need to start a fire,” he wrote back.
Following this wholesome exchange between the SB19 vocalist and the fan, more social media users expressed their respect and admiration for the songwriter.

“secured din Naman Akong tao..”
This is how I see you and the rest of boys, Pins. I know you are all secured as a person and as an artist. With all the noise and the shiz, I know you will always be sure about who you are and where you stand. Lablab ko kayo! 💙 https://t.co/3TmXcxG90R

Thank you for saying this! Mas productive talaga kapag marunong tayo makipag-usap at makinig, even if it gets uncomfortable. Wag rin sana matakot yung iba kung may gusto kayong itanong, icriticize, or ishare as long as you word it out civilly. Progress starts from conversations. https://t.co/Mwsq2luPKb
