Last Sunday we had a gathering and a celebration. Early this month of April some Glee Club members (alumni) met at Bacolod Cosmopolitan Church for a cause and decided to join in Pasasalamat (Grateful) to Manay Lily and to help augment her needs since she had been undergoing a treatment. Although we had only few meetings but we pursued and ask the Lord’s blessings.
We prepared 2 songs in our own capacity and we sang the songs that Manay Lily taught us more than 2 decades ago. During our conversations, we remembered how Manay Lily Cabahug trained us so eagerly that until now it’s still fresh in our minds. The training we have had brought us to join the competition which is NAMCYA (National Music Competition for Young Artists) at Cultural Center of the Phil. (CCP) Manila. It was the experience that we could never forget. And we are proud to say that we made it to the top; we won 2nd place out of 15 regions all over the country. Manay Lily was able to bring us to the pedestal and though we looked like Batang Negros and those groups from Manila especially UST put us down during that time but they failed when the judges proved that we were able to compete and gave the best performance, huhuhu! It was indeed a blessing! Anyway, I will be posting more pictures soon. See you then…
