LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE BRINK
OF DEATH:
A Position Paper on the Amusement Tax
LIVE performance is a premium art form. It is also an industry,
no matter how small a part of the country's economy. It provides
income to people, feeds a number of families… and yes, an active
participant of the business sector being a user and supplier of
goods and services.

Welcome to the Official Website of the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit!
Mitch Valdes
OPM President
Since its birth 17 years ago, the Organisasyon ng
Pilipinong Mang-aawit has experienced situations similar to that of a
toddler determined to walk. The first awkward steps, gaining momentum,
running with glee and then splat(!), falling flat on its face.
Resisting the desire to bawl (more from hurt pride than anything else),
the child gets up again and resumes walking, this time applying lessons
learned from experience.
The child is now an adult, very much aware of its
environment and no longer content to coast along with the "bite of the
bullet" situations of the past. The OPM took steps towards the goal it
has given itself at the onset: the Filipino to recognize talent, an
asset to be nurtured and brought to bloom. It has continually protected
the voice that can move and inspire, present messages of hope and
change, using love and humor. Thus, it has an ever increasing
membership, and a wealth of friends and supporters who remained
steadfast and gave encouragement to the struggling child.
To everyone who participated in its growth (big or
small, past, present, or future) may the seed that you have planted
reap a bountiful harvest of fruits to bear countless other seeds.
Cheers!
