March 15 promises to be a landmark for Filipino music as Fusion: The Philippine Music Festival tunes up the volume for its epic 10th anniversary at the CCP Concert Grounds, Pasay City. The New Channel (TNC) is signed up to support this movement to spotlight OPM as one of the official media partners.

Known as the pioneering music festival that unites artists across genres, generations, and managements, Fusion is the ultimate stage for celebrating the vibrant Original Pilipino Music (OPM).

Under the visionary direction of Dir. Paul Basinillo, Fusion promises a holistic experience that celebrates a decade of everything we love about Original Pinoy Music (OPM). While music remains at its core, Fusion is designed to be a total entertainment showcase.

“Fusion bridges the rich tapestry of our country’s music—from the nostalgic anthems of Barbie Almalbis and The Itchyworms, the heartfelt melodies of December Avenue, the hopeful tunes of Ben&Ben and Maki, to the fresh and dynamic energy of newer genres like P-Pop. It’s truly a diverse celebration—‘Isang Dekadang Musika, nagsasama-sama sa isang bandera,’” shared Director Paul Basinillo.

Fusion has featured the biggest names in the Philippine music scene since 2015 — uniting iconic and emerging artists from established and evolving genres that shape the country’s musical landscape.

“Fusion was born out of a desire to reignite Filipinos’ love for OPM by creating a festival that transcends musical styles, generations, and artist groups,” said Gladys Rondina-Basinillo, Head and Founder of Fusion also the Chief Experience Officer of PraXis Experiential, owner and main producer of Fusion concerts and TNC’s partner in staging and managing Karaoke WorldChampionships (KWC) Philippines. “Concerts were often exclusive to specific artists or genres. We wanted to break barriers and bring everyone to ‘Play as One’ added Rondina-Basinillo.

Fusion is also committed to championing OPM nationwide — bringing the OPM experience to regions across the country. In 2025, expect Fusion in different key cities starting with Iloilo, Davao, La Union, and most recently Cebu—where it drew a 15,000-strong crowd.

Expectedly, KWC artists will perform at the Fusion Manila and the regional legs, with its own headliner and KWC PH main artist, Jan Francis. The event will be timely as Jan Francis is set to release two original songs this quarter one. Other KWC PH artists who will perform on stage are Al Lipaopao, MJ Dizon, Nica Jañola and Jovie Loon.

The New Channel (TNC) is proud to be one of the official media partners of the Fusion: The Philippine Music Festival for it’s 10th Anniversary.
