History

After the major success of award ceremonies of film and television counterparts, the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) formed the award-giving ceremony to recognize the music industries in the Philippines.The event was conceived and established under the leadership of then-President Roldan Castro, who also served as the Overall Chairman. He was joined by Chairman Romel Galapon and Co-Chairman Rodel Fernando in bringing the project to life, with the invaluable support of the National Press Club (NPC) and the Alyansa ng Filipinong Mamamahayag (AFIMA) as the event’s producers. The inaugural award ceremony was held at Skydome, SM City North EDSA, in Quezon City on October 29, 2009.[1]
