Now celebrating its third year, the Wish Music Awards aims to gather and recognize the year’s best and well-loved Filipino musicians and artists.

Wish Music Awards will pay tribute to local songwriters, bands, singers and artists who collectively contributed to the massive appreciation and support gained by Original Pilipino Music (OPM) from the public lately.

Having noticed the recent resurgence of OPM, Wish finds it fitting to put the spotlight to the men and women who helped rekindle Filipinos’ love for their very own — OPM.
