I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful organisation (or should I say, "institution.") First of all, when I joined in the late 60s and early 70s, my purpose was to sing and have FUN; that is to say, after a tough day of serious study, I could go to the UP Conservatory to join in with the singing. Yes, it was fun - however, beyond that (and to my bewilderment), joining the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus meant an entitlement to a full university scholarship! I only knew that when I had begun to register. I paid a mere two pesos for the lab fee! Thank you, wonderful UPCC. You made my dream come true - I was able to finish two undergraduate studies, basically, for FREE.

OMG dami dami pala natin...........I wish I could attend one of your rehearsals. Have been invited a couple of times by PoPOY Magno and WilberT Candelaria, but could not find the time. Hope you guys have a good ONE every rehearsal time. Warm regards to all. ED VALENCIANO
