Mahal is a Filipino word that means love - the universal concept on earth. With so much system and structure, love is hard to find. Mahal aims to express love through her individuality and music, being welcoming to all cultures, diversities, and differences. Love, unlike time, is non-linear. It's that intangible object we long to feel, more than happiness, a glimpse of eternity.
