The two months of intense battle for the first Wish 107.5 Ultimate Fandom Challenge (UFC) successfully concluded on June 28, 2016 at the SMART- Araneta Coliseum.

A total of Php 2.3 million was granted to the winning fandoms, their artists and their charitable institutions.

During the spectacular grand finale, the Big Dome was filled with OPM fans who expressed support for their favorite performers and fellow fans, as well as their appreciation to Filipino music.

The top fandoms’ artists Darren Espanto, Jason Dy, Morissette, The Juans, Daryl Ong, Francis Lim and JK Labajo kicked off the program with an electrifying number.

Fandoms and their artists further invigorated the crowd with their collaborative performances—their final task for UFC and one of the highlights of the event.

Panel of judges included Mr. Isah Red, president of the Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEED), Dingdong Avanzado, corporate secretary of the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit, and Mr. Alvin De Vera, president of the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI).
