There are moments in our lives that could never be expressed in words. Philpop Finals Night was one of those in my book.
That night was something else. Having witnessed the process to get there was such a privilege. It was indeed a celebration of OPM. Philpop advocates local writers to produce more of our own sound and culture and the finals night showcased just that. You can feel that there's just too much pride and hope for our own. Just as much as we listen to the foreign sound, may we not forget what is ours. These songs defines who we are, these are our stories. It is with much pride that I can say that the sound of the future is going to be really beautiful.
I have been blessed to be a part of this years team. I was given the opportunity to know the people behind the song, the interpreters and songwriters alike. These people have so much talent and each has a beautiful soul. It was so much fun getting to know everyone. I was even heartbroken myself that some of them didn't win. But I would like to believe that Philpop is more than just winning, its about touching lives and making a difference. At the end of the day, OPM wins. This year, boundaries were pushed and great harmonies were made.
Kudos to the whole team for this year. From the adjudicators down to the final set of judges, the music video directors and everyone behind each of the songs. Here's to a great year for Philpop. Onwards to 2014 :)
