Music video

The music video features Abra and General Luna vocalist Nicole Asencio (granddaughter of late Vice-President Salvador Laurel). Abra plays a college student who is frequently bullied by his schoolmates, which then he meets Asensio. Later on, Abra befriends Asencio and develops feelings for her. This caused Abra to be bullied furthermore. At the end of the video, Asencio reveals herself to be a fairy or diwata to Abra. That was also the reason why Abra was always bullied; Other people could not see Asencio, thus making him look crazy and like he was interacting with a ghost. Chito Miranda also appears in the music video and plays multiple parts, such as a security guard, teacher, cafeteria staff, and a jeepney driver.
