There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. But we also wanted to diversify PhilPop as music from the country\u2019s provincial regions have their own distinct flavor and characteristics. We felt compelled to strengthen and empower these regional songwriters by giving them a platform for their music and to use education as an instrument to create more songs that can add to the treasure trove of Original Pilipino Music,\u201d Remolacio pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the opportunity and much to the delight of the Bootcamp\u2019s coaches, most of these up-and-coming regional songwriters have responded favorably to PhilPop\u2019s call as many of the 26 Fellows in the Pangasinan Bootcamp came from Northern and Southern Luzon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strong batch of Fellows with high potential<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" data-attachment-id=\"19852\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/philpop-bootcamp-preps-for-biggest-songwriting-contest-in-2020\/attachment\/ryan-cayabyab-bootcamp-master-1\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5472,3648\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 70D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1569325457&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;74&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1.jpg?fit=680%2C454\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19852\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1.jpg 5472w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ryan-Cayabyab-Bootcamp-Master-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>National Artist and Ramon Magsaysay awardee Ryan Cayabyab who helped pioneer PhilPop and remains one of its staunchest champions is excited for this batch of Fellows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the first day alone, we were already impressed with some of our Fellows. I can imagine we will discover more of these promising talented songwriters that we\u2019re looking for. We will train them, share with them everything we know and provide them with the tools they need so that hopefully they leave the workshop with renewed and inspired lives to create new songs for the country,\u201d enthused The Maestro, who kicked off the Bootcamp with an enlightening talk on Why Do We Write Songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bootcamp Master, Cayabyab led a Dream Team of coaches that included equally celebrated composers like Jim Paredes (who gave an inspiring talk on Enhancing Your Creativity: Inspiring your Music Journey), Noel Cabangon (Songwriting Exercises and Lyric Writing for Advocacies), Trina Belamide (How Do We Start a Song?, Copyright and Basic Music Publishing), Gary Granada (Lyric Writing) and Jungee Marcelo (Writing Melody and Lyrics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" data-attachment-id=\"19853\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/philpop-bootcamp-preps-for-biggest-songwriting-contest-in-2020\/attachment\/paolo-and-miguel-guico-coaches\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5472,3648\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 70D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1569332482&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches.jpg?fit=680%2C454\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19853\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches.jpg 5472w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Paolo-and-Miguel-Guico-Coaches-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These OPM legends worked side-by-side indefatigable arranger Marlon Barnuevo (Music Arrangement) as well as previous PhilPop winners Davey Langit, who together with the inseparable tandem of Thyro Alfaro &amp; Yumi Lacsamana and twins Miguel and Paolo Guico of acoustic sensations Ben&amp;Ben covered the topic, My Approach to Songwriting as they all shared their wealth of experience and tried-and-tested techniques to the mesmerized Fellows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Journalist Tina Arceo-Dumlao of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and author of the book, \u201cHimig at Titik: A Tribute to Songwriters\u201d also enlightened the mostly millennial participants of the Bootcamp with some valuable history lessons as she talked about The Story of OPM. <br> Other topics covered during the Bootcamp include Digital Music Streaming and Music Video Production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Song Critique key to better songwriting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Trina Belamide said one of the key activities in the PhilPop Bootcamp is the Song Critiquing that allows coaches to give their inputs on the Fellows\u2019 individual compositions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Bootcamp is very output-oriented. We get to critique songs written by the Fellows that they could submit to PhilPop next year. Having us coaches critique their songs will give them the advantage of further improving and enhancing their work,\u201d Belamide pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Davey Langit agrees with Belamide in stressing the importance of song critique in the Bootcamp. <br> \u201cThere are many factors that come into consideration when writing a song that in the context of PhilPop, can be considered as competition-worthy. More than just a marriage of melody and lyrics, there is also the arrangement, the story the composers are trying to tell and the message and emotions they wants to convey,\u201d Langit explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A little more push<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" data-attachment-id=\"19855\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/philpop-bootcamp-preps-for-biggest-songwriting-contest-in-2020\/attachment\/noel-cabangon-bootcamp-master\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5472,3648\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 70D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1569348550&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;78&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master.jpg?fit=680%2C454\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19855\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master.jpg 5472w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Noel-Cabangon-Bootcamp-Master-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Noel Cabangon sees a lot of potential in this batch of Bootcamp Fellows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey just need a little more push but this is why we have these workshops\u2014to make them realize that songwriting is not something they can do out of sheer impulse. There are also certain considerations as they also need to be conscious of the lyrics, the melody and the rhythm. But many of them were able to present well during the exercises and I personally thought that collaborating with their group mates will go a long way in enhancing their skills,\u201d Cabangon noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the 26 Fellows, each of whom are now assured of a slot in the Top 300 submissions in next year\u2019s PhilPop festival, all of them are thrilled to learn from the masters and take their craft to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fellows speak<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI expected the Bootcamp to teach me a lot but it actually taught me more than I expected it would. It went beyond the basics and helped me arrange my thoughts so it became clearer to me to understand why I\u2019m doing this,\u201d noted budding tunesmith Stephanie Lavoie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pauline Lauron, who worked as a Junior Artist and Repertoire producer for a record label and an alumna of the groundbreaking Elements Music Camp that inspired the PhilPop Bootcamp, said she joined the camp to get a \u201crefresher course\u201d as she stopped writing songs for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will definitely write more songs after this Bootcamp. It\u2019s very heartening to see the willingness and the excitement to learn on the part of my fellow campers and their openness to absorb anything that\u2019s discussed here,\u201d quipped Lauron who currently works as a freelance back-up singer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian \u201cIan\u201d Dumaplin, who has been a professional musician since 2003, admitted that for all his experience, he still learned a lot from the PhilPop Bootcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMore than anything, I also found it very inspiring to be in the company of my fellow songwriters and at the same time be encouraged by my accomplished coaches,\u201d he beamed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" data-attachment-id=\"19857\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/philpop-bootcamp-preps-for-biggest-songwriting-contest-in-2020\/attachment\/bootcamp-day-3-16\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5472,3648\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 70D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1569519928&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bootcamp-Day-3-16\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16.jpg?fit=680%2C454\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19857\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16.jpg 5472w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Bootcamp-Day-3-16-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>PhilPop Bootcamp 2019 is an initiative of the PhilPop Music Foundation, chaired by Mr. Manny V.
