Beyond The Stage At The Filipino Music Awards 2026 With ZYN

Back for its second year, the Filipino Music Awards 2026 brought together yet again some of the country’s biggest names in music. Dedicated to celebrating the artists, songs, and ideas shaping the local music landscape, the stage moved freely between different genres. 

Pop, ballad, rap, and rock particularly all had their turn on stage through the performances of established acts alongside a new generation of sound. The result was a showcase of just how broad the Filipino music scene is.

Beyond the performances and red carpet moments, the event also became a space for audiences to discover experiences that reflect how Filipino lifestyle and culture continues to evolve. 

Among them was ZYN, which joined the festivities with offerings designed around curiosity, interaction, and a smoke-free alternative lifestyle. Designed for adults who use nicotine, ZYN offers an alternative to traditional cigarettes through nicotine pouches that are used without smoke or vapor. 

Stationed along the 2nd floor of the Mall of Asia Arena, the ZYN booth offered guests a space where they can interact freely as they await the start of the Filipino Music Awards. 

Displays presented ZYN’s different pouch variants and flavors, giving adult users an opportunity to explore the brand in a setting designed to be both informative and interactive.

One of its main draws was a dedicated photo booth, where guests could step behind the curtain and create their own keepsake from the evening. For an event built around artists and their individual expressions, the photo booth offered a similarly personal moment. Designed as an extension of the ZYN space, the photo booth gave attendees a chance to pause between performances and capture the energy of the awards in their own way.

The ZYN experience extended beyond the booth itself. Guests also took home ZYN and IQOS pouches as the show concluded, each containing three ZYN variants alongside an IQOS ILUMA i device and a pack of TEREA tobacco sticks. 

With the evening’s energy moving between the booths, the red carpet, and the stage, these small keepsakes became part of the FMA experience beyond the performances themselves. 

From the different genres that filled the stage to the experiences happening around the venue, the second edition of the Filipino Music Awards reflected a music scene that continues to grow more diverse, experimental, and open to new ideas. ZYN’s presence gave guests something to explore between the performances and a memory to take home after the final note.
