 The theme of the song should revolve around environmental-related topics, environmental protection, conservation and preservation. The accompanying video of the original song should showcase the environmental beauty of the Cordillera region.

 Participants to the contest should use highland Ilocano and local Cordillera dialects such as Ibaloi, Kanakanaey, Kalanguya, Tuwali, Ikalinga, Isneg, etc. or combination of the lyrics of the original song that they will compose and make a video production of.

 “The environmental song used in the MVP will be their own composition; hence, the message will come from their mind, heart and soul. Consequently, they will practice what is in their own output. It is easy to contaminate the greater majority of the people as the initiative will come from the most influential segment of the population,” the EMB-CAR stated in a social media post.
