Universal Records Philippines

URPI was founded in 1977 as WEA Records Philippines Inc. The company was the licensee of WEA in the Philippines for 15 years, but the latter still decided to put its own office, the precursor of what is now Warner Music Philippines.

In 1992, the company adopted a new name, Universal Records Philippines Inc., and since then it rose as one of the Philippines' best and biggest record labels.

It is a member of the Philippine Association of the Record Industry.

Universal Records officially distributed K-pop albums from September 2009, to be followed by some J-pop albums which were announced in late May 2011.

Currently, it is the leading independent recording company in the country, being home to bestselling OPM artists.
