History

Himig Handog was first established in 2000. To date, it only had held five competitions which were in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and in 2013. Each year, the title and theme of the contest changes. In 2000, the contest was titled as ''Himig Handog sa Bayang Pilipino'' which was held on October 1. During the second, third and fourth contests' themes and titles were ''JAM: Makabagong Kabataan'', ''Love Songs'' and ''Love Songs 2 ''respectively. From 2001 to 2003, only three songs were rewarded with varying amounts of financial incentives(cash prizes) depending on which entry came in first, second, and third. However, in 2013, the amount of incentives given were raised to five to make up a 'Top Five'. Other award categories were also introduced during this year. Also, it introduced a music video contest where participating
