Ako. Tayo,</u></strong>” the month-long celebration honors the spirit of the community and collaboration that defines the Filipino musical identity. </p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>O<u>rganisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-Aawit&#x27;s (OPM)</u> Executive Director <u>Gab Cabangon</u></strong> emphasizes that this edition aims to embrace the culture of community and collaboration while celebrating how integral music is to the lives of the Filipino people. “This is why we have a mix of <strong><u>OPM Spotlight</u></strong> performances in different areas of Metro Manila that retained the ‘back-to-basics’ approach we had for <strong><u>LMP 2024</u></strong> and the music talk series designed to inspire music artists to pursue artistic excellence and to create an accessible learning space for artists aspiring to become professionals in their field. It’s about bringing everyone in spaces to celebrate music together.”</p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p>He adds, “Apart from the learning opportunities that we included this year, this is also the first time that we have a lineup of artists who are all part of the membership of <strong>OPM</strong>. We have around 50 artists who will be performing for this year’s <strong><u>Linggo ng Musikang Pilipin</u></strong><strong><u>o</u></strong>.” </p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">Organized by the <strong><u>Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM),</u></strong> <strong><u>LMP25</u></strong> brings together more than 50 artists across multiple venues in Metro Manila for a month-long series of performances, discussions, and workshops. The initiative aims to entertain and empower the next generation of Filipino music creators and deepen public appreciation for OPM in all its diversity.</p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong><u> OPM Spotlight</u>:<u> LMP25</u></strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">From <strong>July 1 </strong>to <strong>August 1</strong>, audiences can look forward to a curated series of live shows across key venues in Metro Manila. The <strong><u>OPM Spotlight</u></strong> performances will showcase artists from <strong><u>OPM</u></strong>’s growing membership roster, each delivering sets comprised of original works and beloved OPM covers. The lineup brings together indie acts, rising stars, and iconic performers, offering a powerful cross-section of the Filipino music movement today.</p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">Cabangon believes that celebrating Filipino music also means creating spaces for aspiring songwriters and artists to learn and expand their knowledge in music. Since the membership grew significantly this year, the focus was to provide as many opportunities as they can for <strong><u>OPM</u></strong> members. “This is probably the first time that our lineup is 100% made of artists who are part of the membership. We factored in style/genre, their music and storytelling approach, and, of course, their readiness and availability in the building of the lineup and schedule of activities for <strong><u>LMP</u></strong>. We’re happy that we have legends like <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0rxVEH8yyRYbuwYSioqIFb?si=MytKNdN4Q6q_L9unWPz0Xg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Color It Red</u></strong></a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2fonBGBLc7lUoikMqms5Zl?si=Jt-YgAzPQkeeDZ9hCrOyhQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Noel Cabangon</u></strong></a> who are going to perform during the <strong><u>LMP25</u></strong> celebrations. We also have rising OPM artists such as <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UwnrHfh8Kd8Y8Ax8a3qWy?si=ZO2pd48-T1GC3rUTEAwB_Q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>dwata</u></strong></a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/08x1UThF1Onk5rM2mO1F1c?si=4I8TMITwQ6Kts-GKvwnQ4A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Solace Out the Door</u></strong></a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/philpopmusic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>PhilPop</u></strong></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Himig2020" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Himig Handog</u></strong></a> <strong>Grand Champion</strong> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0nIhUpva4jwsSFrgfWhEGx?si=hjfnHh0jTw-hOP4BA_ohLQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Tiara Shaye</u></strong></a> among others as part of the lineup.”</p><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4KXI9yYKex0?si=BChnTEVXNJCMTmea" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9efQyqZ-66A?si=AIZUaKglKFk5AHVO" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VjfXV-xhDFk?si=P7O9RTJqUVHDBPqK" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wtWbYviXsk8?si=H2AC4PD4mwiM2Stj" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O_HQDbdUhwI?si=EiHxaqKmzrxV5iRi" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>LMP2</u><u>5</u>: <u>Music Talk Series</u></strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">Set for <strong>July 26 (Saturday)</strong> at <strong><u>Greenhills Cinema</u></strong>, the <strong><u>LMP25: Music Talk Series</u></strong> is a half-day program designed to foster education and dialogue among music industry professionals, students, and aspiring artists.

The sessions will provide rare but tried-and-tested insights into both the creative and commercial sides of music-making. </p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">Cabangon explains that the LMP25 Music Talk Series will be a good start or stepping stone for artists to at least get a better grasp of the intricacies of our industry that go beyond the songwriting and performance. “We also want to be able to equip as many aspiring artists as possible with the knowledge and the tools to help them succeed and protect their rights as artists. We’ve also started discussing with other brands and organizations about possibly organizing more talks and connecting our members to programs that will help them expand their music industry knowledge. Hopefully in the long run, the LMP Music Talk Series is something we can expand and make more accessible to other artists.”</p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">LMP25: Rockwell Series</p><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">From July 24 to 30, the LMP25 Rockwell Series presents a series of acoustic pop and singer-songwriter performances at the Power Plant Mall, Makati City.
