<p>Philippine music channel MYX has finally returned. In its new era, it hopes to celebrate music inside and outside the country and bring it closer to today&rsquo;s generation.</p><p>In a media conference on Thursday, August 29, ABS-CBN Global managing director Maribel Hernaez shared how today&rsquo;s global music scene is a good platform for Filipino music.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve seen how MYX evolved over the years. It is so thrilling to see what MYX is right now, because after the pandemic or shortly after the pandemic has been a very very good time not only for Philippine music, OPM music, P-pop but also for Filipinos crossing over to the global stage,&rdquo; Maribel said.</p><p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_P0JNcPUdz/embed/?cr=1&v=14&wp=540&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A2340278.9000000358%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 0px 0px 12px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;"></iframe></p><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&ldquo;I think &lsquo;yung ginawa sa atin ng pandemic is it made our world literally smaller because everybody got hooked on social media and then suddenly everything is accessible.
