La Luz En El Abismo

The earth is surrounded by a vast universe. An abyss decorated with rocks that looks like shining lightbulbs from afar. For humans looking up, they look so beautiful that they give us a reason to believe in things that cannot be explained by science. They help us dream of something better than the dark clouds that have been looming over us for as long as we could remember. Life is the same as the universe. It is full of uncertainty and the unknown. As we go through life, we would discover many things that we didn't even think exist.

Along the way, we will be hit by a meteorite that would destroy everything we hold dear. When we get to this point, it would feel like there is no getting back up again. Once every generation, there would be someone who would light up a torch that could give hope to humanity like the brightest star in the night sky. Mahatma Gandhi led India to independence without violence. For over 200 years, the country was under the British colonialism and he helped his people. He was known for his high intelligence, non-violent and reformist ideologies. There are many people all over the world in different generations that helped shape the world or inspire people in their own way.

In this generation here in the Philippines, there is one person who has inspired people so much. It was not just because of his talent or fame, but the way he live his life and his wisdom. This person's name is John Paulo Nase also known as PABLO. He started his career in 2018 after a few years of training. At first, he thought he would become a solo artist but then he was placed in a group. Since then, he embraced the role of being a leader to four individuals with unique personalities and stories. They've been through metaphorical and literal hell along the way but look at them now, still together.

He is not just a pretty face who can sing and dance. There is something in his voice and the way he sings that touches the heart of anyone who would have the honor of watching him. Out of the million voices out there, it takes rare breed to have a voice that seeps into a person's soul. PABLO is one of those rare breeds. His voice coupled with his profound ability to write can give birth to the most beautiful songs of this generation, yet what makes him standout from all the rest is his entire personality.

PABLO walks the talk in all ways. As their group advocates for PPOP Rise, we often see him cheer for any PPOP group out there. Watsons Playlist concert was one of the best example. As VJ Ai called the names of the groups that performed in the concert, everyone saw how he clapped and cheered for all of them. His mindset has never been about himself but for his group and how he could help others. The way he talks to the media, to the fans, and the public in general inspires goodness and kindness that this world badly needs.

I became an A'tin this year and I've already witnessed a few issues that involved or within the fandom. One of those was when a Hatdog got involved in an issue with the volleyball community. It didn't take long for PABLO to jump in and remind everyone of humility and kindness. It was the first time I ever saw a celebrity remind fans like that and it made me so proud. As the year progressed, we witnessed his growth as an artist and it was a wonderful sight. This was a fruitful year for him and I am certain that we could expect so much more. For now, the year would end with his Hatdogs massively proud of him and his achievements.

Here is to more years of wisdom, artistry, and good health for you, Pinuno.
