Before welcoming 2017, take a look back on the most wonderful events that shaped Wish 107.5’s 2016.

1st Wish 107.5 Music Awards: Your Coolest Musical Experience

Touted as the coolest musical experience, the first WMA honored the most promising Filipino talents in the country. The event also celebrated the contribution of the Wish 107.5 Bus in making the music of local talents more popular among the public — here in the country and abroad. Special categories were made to pay homage to the best and most popular WISHclusive performances rendered on the roaming music hub.

The awards night was made more meaningful by the wish granting aspect of the occasion. Winners of the major categories were given the opportunity to donate part of their cash prize to their chosen beneficiaries.

Wish 107.5 TV was one of the recipients of this year’s Anak TV Seal, a “symbol of child-sensitive, family-friendly television in the Philippines.” The ceremony and awarding of the seal was held on December 10 at the Quezon City Experience (QCx), QC Circle.

The competition, composed of different challenges that ultimately tested the fandoms’ unity and cooperation, shelled out a total cash prize worth Php 2.3 million to its top seven participants, to their artists and respective charitable groups as well.
