Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino centers on community, collaboration for 11th year

TO ADAPT to the vibrant and evolving landscape of the local music industry, Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino (Philippine Music Week), or LMP, is promoting and supporting Filipino artists with a focus on community and collaboration.

- 

Organized and produced by the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) and co-presented by the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, Inc. (FILSCAP), 2025 marks the annual music festival's 11th year.

This year's celebration has the theme "LMP25: Ikaw. Ako. Tayo." (LMP25: You. Me. Us.). Its events are currently ongoing and will run until Aug. 1.

OPM Executive Director Gab Cabangon noted that community and collaboration are key in developing the local music industry.

"This event inspires all of us to embrace our culture, continuously hone our craft, and promote original Philippine music," Mr. Cabangon said at the opening of the LMP25 music talk on July 26 at Greenhills. "We have so much to share, not just locally, but also internationally. I've always said this, but Filipino artists are just as good as, if not even better than, international artists."

The programs include OPM Spotlight performances in different areas of Metro Manila, which brought together over 50 artists across multiple venues throughout July. Because OPM membership "grew significantly this year," it marks the first time that the lineup was made 100% of artists who are part of the organization.
