Himig Handog

Himig Handog (lit. 'Musical Offering') is a songwriting competition in the Philippines, organized annually by ABS-CBN Corporation through its music subsidiary Star Music. First held in 2000, it ran until 2003 before being revived in 2013. Since its revival, it is popularly regarded as "the country's premier songwriting contest" with Pinoy songwriters and composers submitting thousands of original compositions annually, and the country's top singers interpreting the songs in a live event.
