History | |||||||||||||||||||||
| The TALENT ORGANIZATION OF THE PHILIPPINES, INC. (TOP) was organized in 1990. Long before that, the founder, relatives and friends got together and thought of ways to help their co-artists upgrade their position and knowledge in the various fields of art. To avoid exploitation of talents here and abroad, they decided that only legitimate artists will be accepted to join the group -- such as musicians, singers, dancers, filmworkers (scriptwriter, director, musical director, film editor, sound effects, dubber, etc.), models (commercial and ramp) and novelty act performers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
