7. Philippine Pop Music
-Pop music in the Philippines started
as an adaptation or translation, if not complete
imitation, of Western hits. The local version of rock n
roll of the 1990s is started with BOBBY GONZALES
with the song of Habol-Habol and RICO J PUNO's
Luneta, a local adaption of The Way We Were. This
songs immediately clicked with the youth and
eventually gained wide acceptance even among the
“burgis” (bourgeois or elite) crowd. Among the
proponents of the Manila Sound were singing groups
and bands. After waning briefly in the 1990s, this
sound regained popularity in recent years with
remakes of 1970s originals by contemporary rock
bands.

8. Philippine Jazz
-Philippine musicians have also been
inspired by jazz music. Among them are jazz
pianist and recording artist Boy Katindig, who
comes from the well-known clan of
musicians that includes jazz piano legend
Romy Katindig and saxophonist Eddie
Katindig. The Katindig family pioneered Latin
jazz in Manila. Other notable Filipino jazz
musicians include Lito Molina, Angel Pena,
Emil Mijares, and internationally known jazz
pianist Bobby Enriquez.

9. Philippine Alternative Folk Music
-The Philippines also saw the rise of
alternative folk music which was different from the
traditional and popular form. This new form
combined ethnic instrumentation with electronic
accompaniment, while presenting themes or issues
of Philippine society and the environment. Some of
the composers who championed this style were Joey
Ayala, Grace Nono, and Edru Abraham of Kontragapi.
Among other Filipino composers whose styles ranged
from folk to semi ethnic were Freddie Aguilar (Anak),
Yoyoy Villame (Magellan), Florante (Ako'y Isang
Pinoy), Gary Granada (Ka Bayani)
