“The past year has really been phenomenal and inspiring,” said singer TJ Monterde at the recent launch of the Official Philippines Chart on February 19, 2025 at The Clubhouse at The Palace in Bonifacio Global City. 

As part of their launch, the organization also took the opportunity to recognize top performing talents by awarding the first-ever Top 10 Local Artists of the Year and Top 10 Local Songs of the Year. 

In support of his fellow artists, TJ gave a heartfelt performance of his hit song “Palagi”

“Palagi” was hailed as the number one song on the chart. Coming from the success of Sarili Nating Mundo, his sold-out 3-day concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, this recognition came as a happy bonus.
