In recognition of the Filipinos’ innate love for music, the National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA) was formally organized in 1973 under Presidential Proclamation 117, and amended in November 1988 as a response to the “Imperative need to preserve, develop and promote Philippine music as an art and as a handmaid of cultural development. PP117 designates the last week of November of each year as National Music Week, with the NAMCYA Competitions and Festival as the main highlights of the celebration.
