Mission EO 255: A 5K Campaign Run for Stricter Implementation of Executive Order 255

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Can you finish 5K in 25.5 minutes? Run with us on May 18 and see if you can!


The Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mangaawit (OPM) - the leading and most respected organization of Filipino professional singers in the country, in partnership with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), is holding a campaign run dubbed as Mission: EO 255 for the stricter implementation of Executive Order 255.

This will be held on 18 May 2014 at the G-Strip in Greenhills, San Juan. The race will kick off at 5AM.

The event aims to raise awareness of and encourage the radio stations’ full adherence to the above-mentioned Executive Order, issued by former Pres. Corazon Aquino in 1987, requiring all radio stations with musical format programs to broadcast a minimum of four (4) original Pilipino musical compositions in every clock hour.

“OPM aims to ensure the growth of the local music industry; thus, it is very important that all radio stations implement EO 255,” said OPM President Ogie Alcasid.  Furthermore, “Not only are we launching the campaign to remind radio stations – and a big thank you to those who do implement EO 255 – but also to let the public know that they can expect a minimum of four OPM songs to be played per hour on all radio channels so as to make the implementation of EO 255 participative.”

The campaign run is also a unity run for the Filipino artists’ rights and welfare. Mission: EO 255 is a 5K race, women’s and men’s division.  OPM members, cultural workers, patrons, and advocates and supporters of OPM are expected to attend and participate. The race kit includes a race bib and tokens/freebies from sponsors. Prizes will be awarded to the finishers. Registration is PHP 650 and is open to the public.

To register, please contact the OPM Secretariat at (02) 631-1022/633-0640 (Ms. Belle) or the Team Ventures Secretariat at (02) 522-5953/400-9745 (Ms. Tricia Rana). Race tickets will also be made available for sale at a designated site (details to follow soonest). We hope you could help us support the stricter implementation of EO 255!
