Santos made Philippine culture their center for
creating music.

Even though they started as musicians
learning about classical music from the west,
they did not disclaim the musical roots of our
country’s ethnicity. They wanted Filipinos to be
aware of the beauty of their own culture.
Lastly, they intended to exercise our artistic
freedom from dominating cultures and to
preserve Filipino music.
