Aired via UNTV Your Public Service Channel every Sunday, weekly judges have the unenviable task of selecting the monthly finalists to go head-to-head on the Smart-Araneta stage after a year.

The sixth edition of ASOP Music Festival will be remembered for featuring an eclectic mix of genre in music, from R&B, jazz, glam rock, pop rock, to ballad.

Songs that reflect the songwriters’ fight with depression, hopelessness, battle with cancer, and death in the family. Another writer competing this year shared through his song how his life becomes complete after finding God.

New: "Power Voting"

The online voting and power viewing to select the People’s Choice Awardee kicked off on November 3, 2017.

Fans and supporters rooting for their grand finalists to clinch the People’s Choice Award can cast one (1) vote a day in the official website of ASOP Music Festival, using their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The winner of the popularity award will be selected based on total accumulated points from:

• online voting (50%)
• power viewing (50%) 

...of the entries’ official music videos.

One account, one (1) vote per day will be counted. Voting period will last until November 13, 2017 at 12 noon.

Our personal bet the songwriting competition is a toss between the composition of Carlo David (perfomemd by Jay-R) and Gio Levy.

As early as now, we're congratulating all the 12 grand finalists of ASOP 2017 as they are already winners as their songs have already glorified God in their own way. Something that's definitely a "good news"!

ASOP Year 6 will be hosted by Mr. Richard Reynoso and Ms. Toni Rose Gayda. Doc Mon del Rosario be the in-house judge.
