The NAMCYA continues to propagate Filipino music through its commissioned works which become part of the Philippine music literature. Likewise, it is instrumental in preserving and nurturing Philippine traditions through the Rondalla and Traditional Music Categories.
NAMCYA Secretary-General Renato B. Lucas is pleased to announce the categories for this year’s competitions:
