For all works collected in the catalogue that trace their origin to the Philippines, the process of grouping them by their creative form and genre allows for a clear mapping of the range of artistic output that emerges from the archipelago’s vibrant creative communities, with each entry slotted into the category that best reflects its core creative identity, no matter how varied the individual works within that category may be. R&B, as one of the most consistently represented genres in the music section of the catalogue, draws entries from creators across the globe, but works originating from the Philippines bring a set of unifying contextual ties that bind them to one another, even as each stands as a distinct creative work in its own right.
