How many great Filipino songwriters does an everyday Filipino know? Chances are they only know a few.
“The First Philippine Popular Music Festival” is a songwriting
competition open to all amateur and professional composers who are
Filipinos or of Filipino descent residing in the Philippines. The
competition not only aims to celebrate the talent of Filipino
songwriting, but to glorify the contributions of songwriters and
composers to the Filipino music industry.
Orchestrating the competition is no other than Maestro Ryan Cayabyab,
the country’s prominent songwriter, musician, academic, and the
Festival’s Executive Director. Co-presented by the country’s top
companies like Maynilad, Meralco, SMART, Sun, PLDT, TV5 and PICC, “Mr.
C” plans to bring together the Filipino talents into one grand event.
The event is the outcome of Overall Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan and
Organizing Committee Chairman Ricky Vargas’ desire to help revive the
Philippine music industry.
The competition aims to: a.) Provide a channel which Filipino
songwriters can create new songs, discover new expressions or genres in
popular music; b.) Spark a renewed awareness, enthusiasm, and pride in
Philippine music; c.) Start a brand new collection of freshly created
Original Pilipino Music; and d.) Discover and promote new Filipino
songwriters and singers.
