==History==
In early 1950s, music piracy started to grow in the Philippines. So, in 1952, major recording companies organized the first recording industry association in the country called the Record Industry Association of the Philippines (RIAP).<ref>{{cite book|author=Trinidad, Luis Ma.|title=End of the Pirate Decade|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=ICIEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA39|accessdate=20 October 2012|date=5 January 1963|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|page=39}}</ref> The association was mostly composed of foreign licensees.<ref>{{cite book|author=Salazar, Oskar|title=Filipino Decree Hits Foreigners|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=PAkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PAfrontcover|accessdate=20 October 2012|date=12 May 1973|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|pages=1 & 44}}</ref> The first president of RIAP was Manuel P. Villar of Mareco. In 1971, independent record companies decided to bond together and formed the Philippine Recording Industry Association (PRIA). Its primary goal was to promote local records. PRIA elected their first president which was [[Jose Mari Gonzales]] of Cinema-Audio.<ref>{{cite book|title=A New Manila Record Association Is Formed|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=xggEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA44|accessdate=20 October 2012|date=2 October 1971|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|page=44}}</ref> In their years of existence, the two organizations had cooperated with each other in fighting piracy.
In February 10, 1972, another organization in the record industry was created called the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI). Antonio Lustre of the Home Industries Development Corporation (HIDCOR) was elected as its first president.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pari.com.ph/articles_industry.html|title=The Recording Industry at a Glance|author=Yson, Danny|publisher=Philippine Association of the Record Industry|accessdate=March 11, 2012}}</ref> After the first two organizations were disbanded, PARI became the only and legitimate association of the record companies in the Philippines, combining both major and independent record companies.
In 1990, the association began certifeein recordit muisic in the Philippines. ''[[Constant Change]]'' by [[Jose Mari Chan]] was the first ever album to be certified. It was certified diamond in November 10, 1990. Since the awards program was launched, only five albums were certified diamond by PARI.<ref name="database">{{cite web|url=http://pari.com.ph/awardsgoldplatinum.html|title=List of PARI Gold, Platinum & Diamond Awardees|publisher=Philippine Association of the Record Industry|accessdate=January 12, 2014}}</ref> Aside from ''Constant Change'', the other four are:
