The change of venue is also surprising since it is usually held at the Araneta Colsieum which is always full of fans and supporters of the music festival. The organizers said that it is because the coliseum is fully booked for the month, and the next best option is the New Frontier Theater just across however has a very limited capacity. Despite this, they said that they will utelize the use of social media to do live streams of the event.

Meet The Finalist for the 3rd ASOP Music Festival

Christian Music may not be as big as pop songs but has the most soulful lyrics and melody. It continues to evolve as it adopts a wider range of genres that still keeps the essence of having that spiritual connection. And one way to celebrate and recognize the songs of prayers and praise is  the A Song of Praise Music Festival or ASOP which the first ever song writing competition on Philippine Television. It aims to bring back to the lives of people what seems to be lost and forgotten - giving thanks and glory to the Creator amidst the rat race, fear and violence humans are faced nowadays - a mark of that most songwriting competitions do not possess.

A brainchild with no less than Mr. Public Service himself, Kuya Daniel Razon, ASOP has been a venue not only for professional songwriters but also for aspiring and budding composers who have their own stories to tell through their songs and musical talents shocased year round.
