all songs of Metropop from 1978 up to 1985

The Metro Manila Popular Music Festival (also known as Metropop) is a songwriting competition launched by the Popular Music Foundation of the Philippines in 1977. Its objective was to promote the advancement of Filipino music, and its chief proponents were Teodoro Valencia and Imee Marcos. There were a total of eight festivals held; the Finals nights were held from 1978 to 1985.

This songwriting competition was originally open to all music composers; however, from the Fifth festival onwards, the competition was divided into Professional and Amateur Divisions, to give new songwriters a level playing field without competing with more well-known composers.

These festivals launched many the careers of songwriters and singers (who interpreted the songs), and gave original Pilipino music more than a few memorable and modern-day song classics.
