1. "Ang Hirap Maging Mahirap"
Davey Langit delivers the angst and pains of a person deprived of wealth in the music video of Kenneth Reodica's "Ang Hirap Maging Mahirap". Directed by Kyle Matanguihan, the music video features rapper Kritiko who gives a realistic portrayal of a person fighting to survive everyday life.
2. "Bulalakaw"
Janine Berdin and composer Joanna Ang bring healing in the "Bulalakaw" music video directed by Edriel Garcia and Yani Bautista. Dressed in white robes, the two belters render the Visayan pop song in harmony, ending the story with a view of the sunrise which is a perfect scene to bring hope to music lovers.
3. "Ibang Planeta"
Zild's "Ibang Planeta" music video, directed by Shaira Luna, is a tacit throwback to the 80s as it evokes the feeling of being taken into a different dimension while in love, visualizing the unique storytelling of composer Dan Toledo.
4. "Ika'y Babalik Pa Ba"
Juris brings another touching anthem in Jabez Orara's composition of "Ika'y Babalik Pa Ba" with its music video expressing an extreme longing for a loved one as rendered by cast members Iana Bernaldez and Ilya Nikishin. Despite being set in a black-and-white screen, the music video directed by Frank Mamaril leaves viewers with eagerness to give a failed relationship another try.
5. "Kahit Kunwari Man Lang"
The music video is a glimpse into the affecting joint performance of Moira Dela Torre and pop rock band Agsunta of the song "Kahit Kunwari Man Lang" which tells the highs and lows of an unlabeled relationship as told by the song's composer David Mercado. The music video is directed by Miko Pelino and stars Ara Dabao and Eien Rances.
6. "Kahit Na Masungit"
The "Kahit Na Masungit" music video complements the hip entry of John Francis and Jayson Franz Pasicolan interpreted by Jeremy G and Kyle Echarri. Directed by Christian Estolano, the video showcases Jeremy and Kyle as leading man courting a grouchy lass played by Reign Varani. Viewers will also see the two young heartthrobs doing some dance moves that match the chill track.
7. "Kulang Ang Mundo"
Sam Mangubat sings the power ballad composed by Daryl Cielo, "Kulang Ang Mundo", as a grand profession of love and as a background to Kiara Takahashi and Argel Saycon - collectively known as KiarGel - and their journey towards a happy ending. Jefferson Hao directed the engaging video which also features Kid Yambao.
8. "Marupok"
The funky and empowering "Marupok" track composed by Dana Balagtas is brought to life with an enthralling and vivid performance of KZ Tandingan, who echoes a warning to a man she is in love with to be clear with his intentions in the music video directed by Gelo Yellow.
9. "Out"
Former Idol Philippines contestant FANA reinvents herself in the captivating music video of Erica Sabalboro's "Out" which words are sang in English, Tagalog and Bicolano. FANA effectively expresses her anguish, appeal and claim to survival to convey the song's promising message of audacity in the music video directed by Edrex Sanchez.
10. "Pahina"
Kiss N Tell brings viewers to a painful recollection of a couple, played by Gigi Delana and Mark Rivera, whose love has gone off track. The visual storytelling of Joshua Ortiz and Aniceto Cabahug III's entry, directed by Jem Cadeliña, paints a picture of an unconditional love told in the pages of a storybook yet taken for granted as time goes by.
11. "Tabi-Tabi Po"
"Tabi-Tabi Po"'s music video has all the feels of getting attracted, falling in love and moving cautiously towards officially asking someone out. The music video led by its director Jasper Salimbangon and stars Inka Magnaye, Rain Matienzo and Ady Cotico, an accompaniment to Marion Moriones' composition, highlights JMKO's soothing voice as he implicitly expresses his feelings to the apple of his eye.
12. "Tinadhana Sa 'Yo"
Zephanie makes hearts bleed as a young lady hopelessly in love in the music video of "Tinadhana Sa 'Yo", a song written by SJ Gandia about unrequited love. Amiel Kirby Balagtas directed the music video which also stars Aaron Gonzalez.
