The “Isaiah 6022” band: Taken from the Bible Verse: When the time is right, the Lord will make it happen, a Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Region 8 band, has achieved notable success in various music competitions.

Currently, the band’s original song composition “Gabay” (soon to be released to the public) is chosen as the official BJMP Anniversary 2024 theme song.

The band has competed on National & Regional levels primarily in Songwriting competitions from 2021 up to the present. They also performed at various events, including a Music Festival for Peace at the People’s Center in Tacloban City on December 26, 2022. They also performed as a guest during the Battle of the Bands “MUSIKA LABAN SA INSURHENSIYA” (Music Against Insurgency), an event aimed at saving youth from the deceptive recruitment of children into armed conflict.
