1:43 (pronounced as "one forty-three") was a Filipino pop boy band based in the Philippines. They are signed with MCA Records.

Their debut slambook-album titled "Time For Love" under MCA Records was released on April 27, 2011. On its first week, the album was named as the No. 2 Best Selling OPM Album by Odyssey Records and Videos and No. 5 in the Overall Ranking (including foreign artists).

1:43 debuted on YouTube on November 7, 2010 with their first digital single, "Merry Christmas Na". It was released as a promotional single which made them controversial and at the same time, instant YouTube celebrities.

1:43 is composed of Anjo Resurreccion, a University of Santo Tomas Psychology graduate and a member of a university theater group; Gold Aquino, a Business Administration student from the Centro Escolar University (CEU), model and rapper Yheen Valero; and Yuki Sakamoto, a Hotel and Restaurant Management student from Centro Escolar University Makati and the main vocalist of the group.

"Merry Christmas Na" became number one for several weeks in the P-Pop Music Chart, and has garnered over 113,000 views on YouTube.

1:43 released their first mini album titled “Time for Love” on April 27, 2011. It features trivia about and exclusive photos of its members, and a collection of feel-good original Pinoy pop songs, including their minus one versions. It was declared by Odyssey Record Bar as the second bestselling OPM album of the week. It has also landed a few times in the top 10 bestselling OPM album chart of record store Astrovision and Astroplus in 2011.

Time for Love is a mini-album that contains a refreshing mix of five original and distinctly Filipino pop songs, plus their respective minus one tracks. The slambum aspires to define the sound of today’s OPM pop genre, as it brings together critically acclaimed producer and arranger Jonathan Ong of SonicState Studio and brilliant singer-composer and vocal arranger Myrus in an impressive creative synergy.
