OPM Competition
We all know how loved FiliFest’s OPM Competition is, so we brought it back another year! Working again with TFC is always a delight and we love meeting all of you at the live-streaming app, Kumu!
This year we decided to experiment with creating music videos for our top 2 OPM Competition artists. Reminisce with us with Maria’s winning music video on her cover of Salamat!
