The Filipino Music Awards 2025 red carpet last 21 October at the SM Mall of Asia Arena became a stage for high fashion. 

Stars arrived in bold silhouettes and avant-garde textures that pushed the boundaries of style. Metallic fabrics and asymmetrical cuts turned the awards night into a showcase of innovation in contemporary couture.

Pinoy pop powerhouse SB19 emerged as the night’s biggest winner at the inaugural Filipino Music Awards, clinching six major trophies.

The P-pop kings take home the Pop Song of the Year award for their hit “DUNGKA!” at the first-ever Filipino Music Awards. They triumphed over fellow nominees “Tanga” by KAIA, “All These Ladies” by BGYO, “Namumula” by Maki and “Umaaligid” by Sarah Geronimo and SB19.

Likewise, Jericho Rosales graced the first-ever Filipino Music Awards as one of the presenters — joined by girlfriend Janine Gutierrez. Rosales currently stars as the titular president in the historical film Quezon, now showing in cinemas nationwide.

“Ikigai” (with Dionela & Loonie) was nominated for R&B Song of the Year.
