12. OPM/Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mangaawit

Organisasyong Pilipinong mang-aawit is an organization which helps in promoting and enriching our Philippine music industry. The members of the said organization are the Filipino artists also. They supposed to be helping OPM to be on the top of the hit charts. But it seems that we are having a conflict with some of their projects.

An article in Public Static entitled "Why Filipino Music is Dying?" states "Killing competition by tax chokes is both underhanded and unsportsmanlike. Instead of trying to improve their acts, OPM pulls this, something tad step short of artistic fascism. So pull out a gun and take us hostage already. To make things worse, OPM refuses to eat its own cooking by SUPPORTING THE FOREIGN ACTS AND WATCHING IN THE VIP AREA OF EVERY FOREIGN ACT CONCERT. If OPM really wanted to compete, they'd take the foreign acts as a challenge to up the ante. If ever, foreign performances might even develop the local industry by inspiring up and coming acts, who might otherwise be too poor to watch it because a certain organization wanted poor people to stop wasting their money on useless concerts of foreigners and waste it on their useless concerts instead. "

Sometime Filipinos tend to do things that is not right. We thought that we are supporting OPM but actually we are not. If we cannot refuse to listen or to entertain foreign acts let's admit it and don't hide it. It is better to admit that you are into both local and foreign music than pretending you are loyal to OPM but secretly sneaking out to witness a foreign acts.
