MANILA, Philippines — The 11th Wish Music Awards (WMAs) was held last night at the Araneta Coliseum marking a big night for Original Pilipino Music (OPM) and a new era for Wish 107.5.
A new set of WMA winners was crowned, led by P-pop stalwarts SB19, who won Wishclusive Pop Performance of the Year (“DAM”), Wishclusive Ballad Performance of the Year (“Time”), Wish Pop Song of the Year (“DUNGKA!”), and the Wishers’ Choice Award. They also took home Wish Song Collaboration of the Year alongside Sarah Geronimo for “Umaaligid.”
Cup of Joe also emerged as a big winner, going home with Wishclusive Rock/Alternative Performance of the Year and Wish Rock/Alternative Song of the Year — both for “Multo.” The band was also named Wish Group of the Year. Breakthrough Artist winner Earl Agustin also received Wish Contemporary R&B/Neo-Soul Song of the Year for “Tayong Dalawa.”
TJ Monterde earned multiple awards, including Wish Artist of the Year, Wishclusive Collaboration of the Year with James Reid for “Pahinga,” and Wish Ballad Song of the Year for “Darating Din.” He was also the inaugural recipient of the KDR Icon of Breaking Boundaries, a new recognition given to an artist who has achieved impressive career milestones and continues to redefine the Filipino music scene.
