Universal Records General Manager Kathleen Dy-Go presented the award to Ogie during the GMA Variety Show Party Pilipinas last January 13.
The Songwriter and The Hitmakers was just released last October.
The album gathers all the biggest singing and recording artists in the country to breathe life to Ogie’s compositions, including both his biggest hits and new songs. Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez, Martin Nievera, Piolo Pascual, Christian Bautista, Sarah Geronimo, Arnel Pineda, Noel Cabangon, Richard Poon, Jed Madela, Kuh Ledesma, Rachelle Ann Go, Kyla, JayR and Jaya are part of the album.
Ogie is one of the nation's finest songwriters and deserves the kudos he receives. My college days were in the heyday of OPM, when he, Martin & Gary, etc had songs which gave foreign songs & crooners a run for their money. Its would be great indeed to bring those glory days back if only current songwriters & singers alike concentrated on making actual & proper musical art and cease force feeding the public with forgettable commercial crap.
