During its run, the FILSCAP Campus Caravan has visited the University of the Philippines Diliman, University of Santo Tomas, University of Makati, San Beda College Alabang, University of Makati, De La Salle University Manila, University of the Philippines Los Baños and University of Mindanao Matina Campus. Each visit had a songwriting talk and question-and-answer session with well-known Filipino songwriters like Rico Blanco, Yael Yuzon (Sponge Cola), Gloc 9, Champ Lui Pio and Roll Martinez (Hale), Eunice Jorge (Gracenote) and Raimund Marasigan (Sandwich, Eraserheads). The Campus Caravan also introduced the second part of FILSCAP and Pioneer’s collaboration – The #MoveOnlang Songwriting Competition.
