Best Arrangement Award

Manila, Philippines

September 30, 2014

 

Got the Best Arrangement of the Competition Song Award at the 2014 Government Choral Competition conducted by the Civil Serivice Commission and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Main Theater last September 2014.

 

 

Surprised. My work got into the final round of the competition.

My work "Magnifikat" reaches finals.

Häamenlina, Finland

January  2015

Out of 639 entries, my work 'Magnifikat' was selected to be one of the 18 finalists in the final roundof the first International Jean Sibelius Composition Competition.

 

Update:

Congatulations to Rafael Miranda Huereca from Mexico  for winning in the choir category of the composition competition.

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

 

 

To hear sample music score

Von's stunning work,

Watching Dementia on a last full show with friends.

Dementia is a 2014 Filipino horror film directed by Perci Intalan, in his directorial debut. The film stars Nora Aunor as Mara, a woman faced with dementia and strange occurrences in her ancestral home.

Swingle Singers performs my work

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!

The Manuscript with their lovely dedication. Thank you, Swingles! =)

Look who I saw at the airport? Freshly landed from Singapore and the Swingles too, just landed from Indonesia.

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!
