It’s high time we once again celebrate the artistry of the Filipino musician. Your big shot at song-writing success begins at this first ever Philippine Popular Music Festival,”

b.) Spark a renewed awareness, enthusiasm, and pride in Philippine music
c.) Start a brand new collection of freshly created Original Pilipino Music
d.) Discover and promote new Filipino songwriters and singers.
