“This year’s finalists constitute a heady brew of the most varied of genres: dance, rock, R&B, a couple of ballads, some pop and a genre-defying song in multi meter,” Philpop foundation executive director and music maestro Ryan Cayabyab, said. “I am also happy and excited to hear established singers go shoulder-to-shoulder with new and up and coming performers. It’s definitely a tough competition and the music-loving Filipino public will be the judge.”
