Many OPM singers have established a unique mark in the history of Himig songwriting competition, in part because of the timeless hits that they have brought to life but also due to their distinct artistry that resonated with a lot of listeners.
Now on its 11th edition, find out the reasons why previous interpreters like KZ Tandigan, Sam Mangubat, and Juris decided to return to the contest:
1. To show support for talented songwriters
Having previously breathed life to perhaps one of the most iconic Himig songs in recent years “Mahal Ko O Mahal Ako,” KZ who interpreted Danielle Balagtas’ “Marupok” said she felt especially happy, honored, and thankful to be part of Himig’s 11th edition that still pushed through despite the pandemic.

“ANG HIRAP MAGING MAHIRAP”
Davey Langit delivers the angst and pains of a person deprived of wealth in the music video of Kenneth Reodica’s “Ang Hirap Maging Mahirap.” The video directed by Jude Matanguihan also features rapper Kritiko, who gives a realistic portrayal of a person fighting to survive everyday life.

Janine Berdin and composer Joanna Ang bring healing in the “Bulalakaw” music video directed by Edriel Garcia and Yani Bautista. Dressed in white gowns, the two belters render the Visayan pop song in harmony, ending the story with a view of the sunrise, a perfect scene to bring hope to viewers.
