DAGUPAN CITY, July 17 (PNA) -- Kudos to the people of Dagupan City in Pangasinan.
The Balon Dagupan Children’s Choir (BDCC), organized by Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, won the Malaysian International Children Choral Festival 2016, besting 15 other contenders from different countries in a competition held on July 16 at Shah Alam Theatre in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.
BDCC also bagged two other major awards, one as the Most Promising Overseas Choir and another, the Mayor’s Award, in their rendition of the "O Sanctissima" and "Orde E," their two winning pieces in the competition.
With the theme “Binding Culture through Music,” the international choral festival was joined by 15 choral groups from Vietnam, India, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, represented by BDCC.
The BDCC is part of Mayor Fernandez's program in developing the talent of the children, not just in sports but also in singing.
A jubilant Mayor Fernandez immediately extended her congratulations to the BDCC in Malaysia right after winning the competition as she thanked Prof. Adolfo Mendoza and his wife, Virginia Llamas-Mendoza, for their extreme patience, love and dedication in teaching the children.
“These children truly deserved to win in the first International Children's Choir competition in Malaysia. Let's all together support our children achieve their goals in life,” said Fernandez.
