2022-04-02 19:26:47 +0000 UTCThe part "Parang 'di nagbayad 1, 2, 3 hanggang peace lang, Dapat paramihin mo ng anim 'yung tatlo para unlimited" is actually a cultural reference. To give you a little bit of context, when someone hop on for a ride and then gets off without paying, we say "nag 1, 2, 3". When we count the number using our fingers, we usually start by raising our index finger and then our middle finger. Instead of continuing to three/third finger, we stop with only two fingers being raised, creating the peace symbol (Parang 'di nagbayad 1, 2, 3 hanggang peace lang). Then again, related to the "nag 1, 2, 3" reference, it was stated that "3" should be multiplied by six for it to be unlimited (Dapat paramihin mo ng anim 'yung tatlo para unlimited). The product of 3 multiplied by 6 is 18 (sounds like the fandom name), and 8 signifies infinity (referring to the infinity symbol). "Mahalima" is the term used by the fandom when someone just loves all the five members, and they responded to it by saying "mahal ka ng lima" (you're loved by the five). That's why I am always amazed by Pablo's lyricism.
