A Behind-The-Scenes Look At Billboard Philippines Women In Music 2026

Earlier this week, Billboard Philippines celebrated its annual Women In Music event, which honored the Filipinas who have shaped the past, present, and future of OPM.

For its much-anticipated third iteration, the celebration cast a well-deserved spotlight on the women shaping the Philippine music landscape — honoring their talent, vision, and undeniable influence. From chart-dominating hitmakers and rising stars to trailblazing icons, this year’s honorees embodied the depth and diversity of Filipina artistry across a plethora of genres and generations.

While the on-stage festivities may have showcased one aspect of the show, what took place backstage at the Maybank Performing Arts Theatre highlighted a different, if more intimate, part of the story — one that was filled with gleeful moments, unexpected reunions, shared tears, and collective excitement.

As we look back on an unforgettable night dedicated to Filipina excellence, Billboard Philippines takes you backstage into Women In Music 2026, revisiting some of the day’s most powerful and inspiring moments.
