Manila, 27 July 2020 – Twitter partnered once again with MYX Philippines (@MYXphilippines), the number one music channel in the country, to bring back the power of Original Filipino Music (OPM) to every Filipinos’ home with its first-ever virtual celebration of the most-awaited #MYXAwards2020. The event, which went live on Twitter, garnered over 4 million Tweets globally.
Last year, #TeamBahay joined in the celebration by watching the livestream of the red carpet event and getting real-time updates on Twitter. But since we are all encouraged to stay at home, MYX Philippines (@MYXphilippines) continued to recognize the outstanding achievements in the local music scene by doing a special livestream of the whole awards show for music fans to watch and enjoy safely at home.
Prior to the event, fans and music enthusiasts were given a chance to cast their votes both on the website and Twitter by Liking or Retweeting official Tweets from MYX Philippines. Fans also showed their support by Tweeting their sentiments along with the official hashtag, #MYXAwards2020. Just like the previous years, the experience would not be complete without the exclusive Twitter emoji especially released for awards show.
