ASOP Music Festival 2014 at The Big Dome

UNTV presents A Song or Praise Music Festival or ASOP, the first ever song writing competition on Philippine television for praise songs that aims to bring back to the lives of people what seems to be lost and forgotten – giving thanks and glory to The Creator amidst the rat race, fear and violence humans are faced with nowadays – a mark that most songwriting competitions do not possess.

On its 3rd year, the grand finals night of A Song of Praise Music Festival (ASOP) will be on September 23, 2014, 7pm at the Araneta Coliseum. This event will be hosted by  OPM premium balladeer Richard Reynoso and veteran TV host Toni Rose Gayda.

Recently, the organizers of the ASOP Music Festival introduced to members of press this year's composers and interpreters  that will battle it out against each other on the grand finals night. Most of the them shared to the press, "The ASOP is not all about competition, it's also glorifying to The Creator."

Competing for this year’s best song will be the twelve monthly winners of the only weekly praise songwriting competition in Philippine TV. Performing on that uplifting night of heavenly music will be some of the country’s top singing sensations as interpreters i.e. OPM Icons Rachel Alejandro, Bayang Barrios, Gail Blanco & Bo Cerrudo, famous band vocalists Mcoy Fundales (Kenyo/Orange & Lemon), Jek Manuel (I-Axe), Jason Fernandez(Rivermaya) & Ava Olivia Santos (Freestyle), singing champions Beverly Caimen (WCOPA 2013 Senior Grand Champion), Shanne Velasco (Ka-Voice ni Idol, Ikaw at Echo 2013 grand winner) and vocal group members Daryl Ong (Voices of 5), Walton Cerrudo (Voices of 5) and new promising artist Jessa Mae Gabon.
