This was seen especially with radio stations that has musical format programs. This situation was also seen here in Benguet. The listeners preferred to listen and request songs from the Korean Pop genre, pop songs and Rhythm and Blues with the western styles and sung by famous artists from other countries. Moreover, this situation was seen on the weekly countdown charts of most requested songs of the different radio stations and the songs that had the highest rankings in the countdowns were songs that could be Korean Pop Songs and other genres of music from other countries. According to the President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, music could really be inviting and if a person is down and hopeless, the situation could be brought back to life that one can again hope, dream and move forward through music. To promote and uplift the Original Pinoy Music, on August 14, 2010, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III directed the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to fully implement Executive Order No. 255, issued on July 25, 1987 by former President Corazon Aquino, requiring all radio stations to broadcast a minimum of four original Filipino musical compositions every hour. The President Aquino disclosed his order to the NTC that it review compliance with Executive Order No. 255 and see to its strict implementation to officers of the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit on Agust 14, 2010, Friday afternoon.

APRIL 2011 2 The Executive Order No. 255 was requiring all radio stations with musical formats programs to broadcast at least four Original Pilipino Music compositions in every clockhour and for other purposes. Wherein, “Original Pilipino Musical Composition” shall refer to any musical composition created by a Filipino, whether the lyrics be in Filipino, English or any language or dialect. In 1987, the former President Corazon Aquino issued Executive Order No. 255 which requires all radio station with musical formats to play four original Filipino compositions every clockhour. There would be a fine of P100 for each violation and suspension or cancellation of the radio station’s Certificate of Registration for repeated violations. According to the KBP Radio Code 1999 Revised Edition, All Radio Stations shall actively promote the growth and development of Filipino music. Radio stations were encouraged to schedule OPM’s in accordance with existing provision of law and the KBP rules and regulations (4 OPM’s every clockhour). The difference between the KBP Radio Code and the Executive Order No. 255 was that the KBP Radio Code is only implemented to their members while the Executive Order No. 255 was implemented to all radio stations in the Philippines. In Baguio City, there was a total of 11 FM radio stations. Among these stations, IFM 1.3.9, Love Radio 95.1 and Magic 99.9 Country Music were the radio stations that students mostly listen to. It was then important to check if these radio stations complied with the executive order, hence this study.
