ABS-CBN just won a Philippine Quill Award for “Kapamilya Himig Handog.”
“Kapamilya Himig Handog” is a songwriting contest that enabled little known songwriters from the ABS-CBN fold to have their works heard.
It led to the launch of Star Music’s “OPM Fresh Songwriters Series Vol. 1” EP featuring popular artists singing the contest’s top winners.
These include “Kaya Pala” by Jona (written by Jane Abaday), “Sleep Tonight” by Trisha Denise (written by Mark Marcos), “Mahiwaga” by Bugoy Drilon and Liezel Garcia (written by Michelle Saubon and Michael Obregoso), “Ikaw Na Lang Ang Kulang” by Kyla (written by Kitte Estabillo and Paul Armesin), and “Stop Missing You” by Maris Racal (written by Mycah Borja).
The songs are currently streaming on Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, and YouTube.
The Philippine Quill Awards, organized by the International Association of Business Communicators Philippines (IABC Philippines), annually honors excellent communications programs and skills by companies and agencies in the country.
“Kapamilya Himig Handog” also earned global recognition after bagging an international Gold Quill Award given by the International Association of Business Communicators at the Excellence Gala Night in New York, USA last June.
