Because music is valuable, our cultural heritage has become rich, colourful, and vibrant—just like the people who create it. But few of us can truly claim to having a fine understanding and appreciation of our cultural heritage. Felipe de Leon Jr., professor of art studies at the University of the Philippines Diliman, says that being unaware of the beauty of our culture is a liability.

The variety of musical forms, styles, repertoires, and traditions that exist mirror the rich diversity in Filipino culture. Fortunately, until today, these rich indigenous musical traditions live on. They serve as a reminder of the Filipinos' long history of musical talent and ingenuity.
