The music industry is not considered an essential business by the government. But music was utterly essential in helping many of us see through 2020.
What music helped our nation's leaders and icons survive this challenging year? Here is a brief sampling.
According to the Presidential Communications Operations Office, President Rodrigo Duterte has an iPod loaded with his favorite classical songs. Duterte does not use Spotify, but here is a sample playlist we made based on the songs that the chief executive usually listens to, which, it turns out, are filled with old-time classics. All are mostly foreign hits except for one song that the PCOO made sure should be on the list—Ikaw.
