Meanwhile, Skusta Clee and Flow G’s hard-hitting collaboration, “Since Day One,” earned the prestigious Song of the Year honor, alongside Breakthrough Artist recognition for fitterkarma.

SB19 proved the sheer power of their dedicated fanbase by sweeping the major People’s Choice categories, including People’s Choice Artist and Song for “VISA.” Their landmark show, “Wakas At Simula: The Trilogy Concert Finale,” was also crowned Concert of the Year. Global phenomenon BTS rounded out the fan-voted honors by capturing People’s Choice for International Artist.

The genre categories highlighted the incredible breadth of the local landscape, celebrating both dynamic reinventions and raw musical energy. Standout wins went to Ben&Ben’s reworked folk anthem “Lifetime (Reimagined),” IV OF SPADES’ alternative hit “Kabisado,” and Typecast’s heavy rock offering. Soulful R&B saw shared glory between Denise Julia’s “LOVE AGAIN” and ALAMAT’s “Sinigang,” while VVINK, DJ Love, and Pio Balbuena secured Pop Song of the Year with “Baduy.”

A deeply moving portion of the ceremony honored the cultural cornerstones that built OPM into today’s powerhouse.

ABS-CBN took home Music Company of the Year, and the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) was rightly celebrated with the Music Foundation Award for its enduring championing of local talent.
