After briefly sending netizens into “Marites” mode with a photo alongside Gian Bernardino, Maris Racal shifts the conversation back to her artistry with the release of “Sino ang Tanga,” a candid, emotionally conflicted track about loving someone who refuses to make the relationship visible.

Built around conversational lyrics and quiet frustration, the song captures the push and pull of devotion and self-doubt. Racal narrates the experience of caring deeply for someone while questioning her own worth in the process, ultimately embracing the painful self-awareness embedded in the song’s title.

Bernardino does not appear on the track itself, but stars as Racal’s romantic counterpart in the music video, visually bringing the story’s hidden-love dynamic to life. Fans loved the music video’s concept as it gives the pop rock vibes and 2000s MV concept.

Racal also recently appeared together on Bernardino’s podcast, G on Top, which helped fuel online buzz leading up to the release.

With “Sino ang Tanga,” Racal leans into emotional honesty, turning quiet heartbreak into a song that feels both personal and painfully relatable.
