Silent Sanctuary’s song “Una” has been given a visual tribute to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) through a new music video starring actress Xyriel Manabat.
Released on Universal Records Philippines’ YouTube channel on May 23, the video highlights the emotional and physical sacrifices OFWs endure while working abroad to support their families.
In the story, Manabat plays an OFW who appears cheerful during video calls with her family but privately struggles with loneliness, hardship, and unsafe working conditions. Despite her difficulties, she continues to hide her pain from loved ones back home. The narrative also shows moments of solidarity, as another OFW quietly helps her during a difficult situation.
The video is set to the emotional lyrics of “Una,” a song about prioritizing and enduring love, which reinforces the theme of family sacrifice and distance.
The release has been well received online, drawing tens of thousands of views and praise for its portrayal of OFW experiences.
Silent Sanctuary is known for emotional, violin-driven OPM tracks such as “Kundiman,” “Ikaw Lamang,” and “Bumalik Ka Na Sa’kin,” and “Una” continues their focus on themes of love, longing, and emotional struggle.
