DJS in the Philippines Now Required to Present Yearbook Before Performing

In a surprising turn of events, DJs in the Philippines are now required to present a yearbook before they are allowed to perform in clubs. The new requirement has sparked mixed reactions within the DJ community, with some calling it a “ridiculous” and unnecessary addition.

DJs in the Philippines Must Now Submit Yearbooks

A surprising mandate from the Philippine Bureau of Music and Entertainment requires DJs to present their yearbooks before performing at clubs. This unexpected rule has sent shockwaves through the nation’s nightlife industry.

Sources close to the Philippine Bureau of Music and Entertainment claim this policy aims to ensure only qualified and experienced DJs entertain clubgoers. Club owners and event organizers can request a DJ’s yearbook, which details their academic history.

A DJ’s Perspective

According to John Sedano, a prominent Manila DJ, possessing a yearbook is a mark of distinction within the DJ community. It signifies experience and respect. Sedano shared his yearbook, showcasing high school photos, testimonials, and even a message from his English teacher: “You’ll be a great DJ someday.”

A spokesperson for the Bureau of Music and Entertainment stated, “We recognize DJs’ importance to the Philippine music scene and want to ensure only the most skilled performers entertain our citizens. The yearbook requirement is one way to uphold high standards.”

Mixed Reactions from the DJ Community

The new rule has generated confusion and criticism among DJs. Many expressed their shock on social media, with one Twitter user commenting, “A yearbook? Ano to high school? Baka next thesis na rin?” Concerns have also arisen about the potential difficulty this poses for aspiring DJs who lack extensive testimonials to fill a yearbook.

Renowned female DJ, Jade Dee, highlights the community-building aspect. “We have diverse backgrounds and stories,” she said. “Sharing yearbooks helps us connect more deeply.”

The Future of Yearbooks in the Philippine Music Scene

Despite varied responses, the yearbook requirement remains in effect. Philippine DJs aiming to perform in clubs should prepare their yearbooks. Perhaps, this practice might extend to other performers in the future.
