This March, in celebration of International Women’s Month, Billboard Philippines is bringing back Women In Music.
A special yearly celebration, the awards night is dedicated to honoring the incredible women that have showcased impeccable artistry, broken glass ceilings, and inspired generations of Filipino fans and artists alike. And for its third edition, Billboard Philippines Women In Music 2026 will host a stunning lineup of women who have raised the standards for excellence and re-defined what it means to be an artist today.
Across six awards, this year’s awardees — all of whom have been handpicked by the Billboard Philippines team for their impact and contributions to the Filipino music industry — are influential Filipinas who have paved their own paths in music, created and broken records, and reshaped the sound of Filipino music. Beyond the night’s major awards, there will also be a set of fan-voted categories dedicated to the songs and artists that have touched the hearts of millions across the country.
Billboard Philippines Women In Music 2026 will be happening on March 24, 2026.
Billboard Philippines first held the local edition of Women In Music in 2024, which featured a historic, sold-out awards show that honored the likes of Sarah Geronimo, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Pilita Corrales, Moira Dela Torre, BINI, and ena mori, as well as awarded fan-favorite acts like Morissette and Belle Mariano.
Continuing the tradition of honoring Filipinas in the industry, the second edition of Women In Music — dubbed at ‘The Executive Edition,’ which happened last March 2025 — turned the spotlight onto the women behind the scenes. The intimate celebration honored the executives who are driving the local industry forward faster than ever before.
Billboard Philippines Women In Music is modeled after Billboard‘s US-based awards shows that have honored artists such as Madonna, Beyoncé. Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Olivia Rodrigo.
