Selected UV staff and the crew of Soundtraxx Production Studio composed of Gloria Viilarojo, Gani Villarojo, Roland Villarosa and Bea Daitol organized the screening process.
Members of the screening panel were Baby Condeno, Sam Costanilla, Roger Serna, Eli Gonzales Manlangit, Apple Abarquez, Sanden Anadia, Fr. Lyndon Ruiz, Cerj Michael and Manolito Languido.
