Music in the Philippines
In all aspects of this world that we know, there is no absolute consistency but in the contrary there will always be the “certain” variety of things. Since we Filipinos are “one but diverse” we all vary greatly in some aspects. But, despite the variations, we Filipinos have a strong sense of belongingness with one another enriched by our common characteristics and tendencies. One factor that identifies a Filipino is our great passion for music.

To refer to music as a need would be an understatement for it is already a part of us Filipinos, a part that cannot be without if one is to become complete. Before the colonization of the Philippines the early inhabitants of the archipelago already showed a love for and the capacity to make music. Music runs in our blood, it runs in the blood of all Filipinos and therefore it is like a hidden potential that will surely develop if tapped and practiced.
A lot of Filipinos in the past and even more in the present have already garnered enough recognition and affirmation that would be more than enough to authenticate my claim about the music truth in the Philippines. A lot of Filipinos have a knack for drawing international spotlight.
