The collaboration between Paham and dwta has finally arrived with the release of their heartfelt single, “Huling Liham,” an emotional track that lives up to its promise to explore themes of love, loss, and closure.
Paham, an indie/alternative rock band composed of Cymon (rhythm guitar), James (lead guitar and vocals), Kian (keyboards and vocals), Yuan (bass), and Ryen (drums), has captured hearts with their sincere compositions.
Starting as a school band, they’ve evolved into one of the most promising acts in the local music scene.

Her ability to blend personal experiences with regional artistry has quickly set her apart in the industry. This collaboration with Paham feels like a match made in heaven, as their shared passion for meaningful and heartfelt music comes alive in “Huling Liham.”
With dwta’s emotive Bicolano verses adding depth and texture to the song, the track strikes a rare balance of nostalgia and innovation, celebrating regional roots while appealing to mainstream audiences.
