“Tsada” is a term commonly used in Cagayan de Oro City and its neighboring areas, generally meaning good, great, or even nice. In August 2023, Maymay Entrata released her latest single “Tsada Mahigugma,” which translates to “It feels great to be in love,” introducing the term “tsada” to the national music scene. With its catchy tune and tourism vibes, the song has already garnered over 1 million streams on Spotify and claimed the No. 1 spot on the iTunes PH Chart. More recently, the official music video was released.
Prior to entering showbusiness, Maymay Entrata studied at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) in Cagayan de Oro. Watch the official music video below.

Here’s the full lyrics.
“Tsada Mahigugma”
Tsada tsa-tsadada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma inday
‘Di dahil sa nasaktan ka na
Ayaw mo nang mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma inday
‘Di dahil laging nasasaktan
Lahat nalang ay kalaban
May tao din na para sa’yo
Kapit lang dahil darating din yun
Tsada tsa-tsadada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma inday
Nabiyak man ang puso
Hindi pa rin susuko
Tsada mahigugma inday
Nasaktan man ng husto
Unti-unting bumabangong
May tao din na para sa’yo
Kapit lang dahil darating din yun
Tsada tsa-tsadada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma inday
‘Di dahil sa nasaktan ka na
Ayaw mo nang mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma inday
‘Di dahil laging nasaktan
Lahat nalang ay kalaban
May tao din na para sa’yo
Kapit lang dahil darating din yun
Tsada tsa-tsadada mahigugma
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Tsada mahigugma
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Ang ganda ganda ganda
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Ang ganda ganda ganda
Tsada tsa-tsadada
Ang ganda ganda ganda
Tsada tsa-tsadada mahigugma
