Ben&Ben, Syd Hartha and Arthur Miguel in Tic Tac Music Awards

The air in Taguig is already buzzing with anticipation for June 13, 2025. That’s the date of the inaugural Tic Tac Music Awards at the BGC Amphitheatre, an event promising to be more than just a celebration of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) — it’s set to be a vibrant, flavorful experience. And headlining this musical extravaganza? None other than OPM giants Ben&Ben, alongside the captivating Syd Hartha and the talented Arthur Miguel.

Tic Tac, known for its “good vibes,” is bringing its signature zest to the awards, crafting an experience that’s fresh, surprising, and truly engaging. This year’s awards are uniquely structured around five Tic Tac flavors, each representing a distinct musical mood. The Orange award will celebrate joyful tunes, while the Strawberry award is dedicated to romantic melodies. For those perfect harmonies, there’s the Citrus award for duet vibes, and the Spearmint award will recognize songs that bring a relaxing, chill atmosphere. Finally, the Mint award is reserved for recent tracks that introduce a brand-new sound to the OPM scene.

But the awards aren’t just about the artists; they’re also about the fans. From May 15 to July 8, every Tic Tac purchase gives fans a chance to win Apple AirPods daily. More importantly, it empowers them to shape the awards themselves. By uploading receipts to TicTacph.com, fans can cast their votes for their favorite songs in each category, with the winners announced live at the ceremony.

In a move that truly puts fans in the spotlight, Tic Tac is also offering a “popstar dream” opportunity. Aspiring performers can win a Sony camera, a Rode microphone, and the incredible chance to perform at the Tic Tac Music Awards. To enter, hopefuls simply need to record a TikTok duet with any of the three headlining artists’ Tic Tac Music Awards videos, add Tic Tac stickers (by searching “Tic Tac Music Awards” in TikTok’s sticker library), and post it with the hashtag #TicTacMusicAwards2025. Submissions are open from May 15 to June 4 on TicTacPH.com, where judges will select the lucky winner.

With exciting performances, innovative categories, and unprecedented fan engagement, the Tic Tac Music Awards is shaping up to be a groundbreaking event in OPM history.
