Award winning "Loboc Children's Choir" in Manhattan

I watched this choir one very rainy & windy May 9th (2008) evening at the Church of St. Emeric in the ABC City of East Side, NYC. Mostly the audience were made up by Filipinos, from all ranks, as expected. I noticed a number of people who were not typically Philippine-looking. Of course, the organizers had to make sure all the important Philippine officials had to speak, even for a few minutes, just to make their presence felt. I was glad the Philippine Ambassador & Permanent Representative (Justice Hilario Davide, Jr) to the UN didn't talk that long, as he recognized the audience was actually there to watch this internationally awarded choir. There were a lot of interruptions from the emcee who tried to recognize the presence of anyone, just about anyone, who are among the "who's who" here in the Philippine community in the East Coast, who bravely ventured out to watch this choir that night. Despite the irritating insistence to come up with a show by following the typical way of trying to highlight matters that apparently were really trivial and not relevant to who really were THE main stars that night, the show was a HUGE success, to say the least!!! I was just invited by a Filipino friend to watch this show, and have thought of bringing along a caucasian friend who's the assistant director of the Children's Aid Chorus here in New York City. He was surprised to learn that this choir had to sing over 20 songs during that evening's performance! It's just THAT difficult for children to memorize even at least 5 songs. Despite what he said were the obvious differences on the accent and tone used for some English songs that night, he's been very much impressed by the children's outstanding performance. I'm just as proud that night, and very much delighted to have found the time to watch this choir perform here in NYC. You could not help but say you're actually listening to a choir of angels singing that night!
