Loboc children's choir in SM today

CEBU, Philippines - Today, churchgoers will get a chance to see and hear a rare choir performance by the Loboc Children’s Choir during the Eucharistic Celebration, 9am at the 2nd level of The Northwing, SM City Cebu.

Loboc Children’s Choir is a ‘cultural treasure’ of the province of Bohol, and as such, the group often sings for visiting dignitaries, and local and foreign tourists.

It is composed of schoolchildren ages nine to thirteen from the town of Loboc, Bohol. From an ordinary school choir established for school and community affairs, it has blossomed into one of the most outstanding choirs in the Philippines today.

In more than 30 years since it was founded in 1980, the Loboc Children’s Choir is not only heard in concert halls or auditoriums, but in prisons, hospitals, orphanages, and homes for the aged as well, where its music of hope, love, and joy also find its meaning. It continues to take active part in school, town, and provincial activities. The Choir has also performed for Pope John Paul II in 2003 at the Vatican, for Her Majesty Queen Sofia of Spain, for various heads of state, ambassadors and other members of the international diplomatic corps, and other important personalities and visitors of the Provincial Government of Bohol.

Come and feel the sanctity of the Eucharistic Celebration with Loboc Children’s Choir today, 9am at the 2nd level of The Northwing, SM City Cebu. (FREEMAN)
