(GMA News) “Billboard Philippines” is coming to the Philippines and it’s just named some of its primary key players ahead of its public debut.

At a press conference on Thursday, Billboard announced the onboarding of Bret Jackson as its editor-in-chief, Francis Reyes as its editor-at-large, Paolo Valenciano as its executive producer, and Anton Molina as its podcast producer.

Bret is a co-founder of music label Paraisla and the production house 7640. From the US, he relocated to Dumaguete at age 13 and explored OPM through the different regions of the country.

“Hearing their stories really instilled in me a relentless feeling to want to do more for the people and places I loved. This led to becoming a full-time student of the Filipino music industry,” he narrates.
