Defining OPM (Original Pilipino Music)

Original Pilipino Music (or OPM) is pretty much alive and well. But what does OPM really refer to anyway? The nationality of the composer? The singer? Or the sound of the music? Does mainstream and indie matter in defining OPM? In this video, I try to give my own take on what OPM is today to the best of my ability.

Just an additional note. I deliberatey don't mention "mainstream and indie" because for me,
the terms "mainstream and indie" only indicate the production aspect of music
and not really the "sound". Proof of this is how indie artists can make songs that
top of the charts like any mainstream pop artist usually does.
