1st movie stint
Manila, Philippines
October 2014
It was definitely odd to hear your voice as part of a film score in a movie. It actually lessens the eerieness and scare factor in a horror film. Haha. Special thanks to my good friend, film scorer par excellence, Von de Guzman for inviting me to sing some solo parts together with the Ateneo Chamber Singers in this successful
.Indie Film, Dementia

Manila, Philippines
September, 2013
Starstrucked and amazed as
this 5-time Grammy Award winning group, Swingle Singers, performed my ararngement of Ili-Ili, a Visayan Folk Song during their visit in Manila September of 2013 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. It was a night to remember and a fitting advanced birthday gift for me. I am deeply humbled and overwhelmed. My deepest gratitude to all of you, Sara, Clare, Jo, Ed, Oli, Kevin, Cj and Hugh. Hope our paths cross again soon!

Obama in Manila
Manila, Philippines
April 2014
Blessed, honoured, and Amazed.
"Thank you, thank you for that amazing number..." says the president of the United States as he shook my hands.
A very memorable night at the Presidential Palace.
Performed for the POTUS together with the
Philippine Madrigal Singers, Leo Valdez, Kuh Ledesma, Apl D' Ap, Bituin, AMP Band, Bayanihan Dance Troupe and Power Dance during his visit in Manila. Still in awe. How often do you get to hand shake two presidents-and one, being the most influential and powerful man in the world- in one night?!?
Surreal!
