Ang Misyon — To hone and nurture the future of Philippine music

Music may not be a top priority in a country where many citizens are just getting by to cover their day-to-day needs. But Ang Misyon, Inc. — a non-profit organization that aids talented and underprivileged young musicians in the Philippines — shows that music may, in fact, be a ticket to a better life and, later on, a better society.

ABS-CBN Chairman Emeritus Eugenio Lopez 3rd, First Philippine Holdings Chairman Federico Lopez, and internationally renowned concert pianist Jovianney Emmanuel Cruz founded Ang Misyon in 2012 with the belief that teaching the youth orchestral music can spark social change in the Philippines.
