#KasamaKorus #UPConcertChorusItchyworms Medley (Jonathan Mendoza) | UP Concert ChorusUP Concert Chorus2021-08-15 | Our arranger, Jonathan Mendoza starts the story with the song, "Akin Ka Na Lang" where Jp tries to comfort Angelika from her heartbreak, going through a series of back-and-forths, trying his best to make her realize that he could be the one for her. All goes downhill as soon as we hear the melody of "Di Na Muli", losing his motivation, but still striving for her attention. We soon find ourselves at the end of the medley, him still hopeful, that even just a hug from her would be enough.
How far did you go for your first love? (MU, infatuation, jowa, asawa, etc.)
Gusto lang namin sa buhay ay sana ma-enjoy niyo ito!

#KasamaKorus #UPConcertChorusWag Ka Nang Umiyak (Ebe Dancel) | UP Concert ChorusUP Concert Chorus2021-07-18 | The pandemic has brought about various challenges— from facing COVID, juggling academics, managing finances, and just finding ways to keep our heads floating above the water.
“Wag Ka Nang Umiyak” was written by Ebe Dancel and arranged by Robert Delgado. Like in the song, (?) we have continued to hold on to each other. As long as we have loved ones to lean on, we will soon overcome this trying time. Though performing or even just singing has been limited to us, we still would want to continue to “perform” for you all somehow. We offer this song to those who are still grieving, to those who have been struggling, and to those who have been risking their lives just to see this pandemic come to an end. We hope that Wag Ka Nang Umiyak will serve as a warm hug and an encouragement to everyone.

The song is a message of longing to be with loved ones during a time where 3 ft. of distance or more keeps us apart but furthermore, this song wishes to give hope to everyone— we will overcome this situation together. There are no boundaries that music and Korus cannot break because we always stand by each other because together, we will overcome.
We are calling for donations for the benefit of the UP-Katipunan Driver's community pantry organized by UPKKJODA. For in-kind donations, kindly drop them off at Alley 5 Brgy. Pansol (Balara), Quezon City. For cash donations, kindly send them to Ricardo Dela Cruz (09456155772) via GCash. For other concerns, contact Enrico De Chavez (09770254967) or Mac Casiñas (09993987311).

#KasamaKorus #UPConcertChorusTunay na Pasko (Augusto Espino) | UP Concert ChorusUP Concert Chorus2020-12-19 | This Christmas season, we are forced to be left to our own devices to try to mimic the similar feeling of physically being with loved ones when it’s supposed to be a time for family and celebration. This song was specially written for the UP Concert Chorus (UPCC) by alumni, Augusto Espino. “Tunay Na Pasko” talks about how Christmas has become commercialized to the point where we lose the true reason for the season. This song and this EP by the UPCC wishes that this year’s version of Christmas will not be a hindrance to our celebration of the true meaning of Christmas.
It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. You see, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world.

The story follows Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven embarking on an excursion past their Kingdom of Arendelle to find the inception of Elsa's supernatural powers and spare their realm after a mysterious voice shouts to Elsa. Elsa journeys through the Dark Sea to Ahtohallan, discovering the concealed past of what occurred in the Enchanted Forest, and finally, the origin of her powers. The song, “Show Yourself”, was Elsa ultimately unfolding before herself, finally seeing her truest form.
While our current circumstance forces us to be isolated from our loved ones, we must still reach out and not waste any time; instead, we show our love to them despite the difficulty.

We have to be dependent on our devices with the quarantine still taking effect during the holidays. As the title suggests, the song takes place during Christmas where even while apart, the joy of the Christmas season could still be felt and spread. This is truly felt in the current season of the pandemic-- even while people are celebrating the season apart, we are still together and connected through technology.

By sharing with you our virtual choir performance of a classic, this proves that no pandemic or any other disheartening event of the year could stop us from celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. "Simbanggabi" is a much loved musical choral composition by National Artist Lucio San Pedro. Its melody and lyrics serve as perfect expressions of the Filipino traditions of merriment, togetherness, and a strong Christian faith during Christmas time. May our performance bring you the warmth of these traditions as you experience the hope and joy of the season!

Through this, we aim to raise awareness of the pressing issues of domestic violence, gender-based violence, and violence against women and children. We stand with survivors in amplifying their voices, and we call on our fellow women to be pillars of support.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt when quarantines sent the vast majority of populations home in fear of catching the virus. However, strict lockdowns triggered a new wave of abuse at home, worsened by poverty and prejudice from families, spouses, and loved ones who promised them safety and security but pushed them into silence instead. Read The Sanctuary Project’s statement on the Campaign to End Domestic Violence During Pandemic here: tinyurl.com/WeNeedSafeHomes
Now, more than ever, is the time to break that silence.
If ever you feel unsafe at home, contact any of the services provided here: tinyurl.com/hersupport
Important Note from the Sanctuary Project-UPD: Every situation is different. Some might call for immediate legal action steps, while others might prioritize and seek for psychosocial support and shelter assistance. These are suggestions meant to help. These are NOT step-by-step suggestions, rather, these are suggested action steps to assist you. Please know that the abuse was not your fault. These abuses were deliberately done by your offender and you did not deserve such treatment.
ACTION STEPS IN SITUATIONS OF ABUSE
1. CALL FOR HELP If you have relatives or close friends who can help you get out of your house due to imminent danger of abuse, try contacting them for initial help then contact the agencies that you need assistance from. If you cannot ask for help from anyone from your inner social circle, here are the following agencies that you may contact for immediate help in order to get out of your abusive household: tinyurl.com/hersupport
2. ASSESS YOUR NEEDS. Ask yourself the following questions: Does your situation call for regaining economic stability? Does your situation call for psychosocial services? Does your situation call for immediate legal consultation and representation?
While your situation may be different from others, you are not alone in your struggle, especially during this pandemic. These services are available, once you are ready to ask for help.

#Musikalikasan #UPConcertChorusUPCC Zero Waste Ating Pag-asa (2017)UP Concert Chorus2018-06-09 | ZERO WASTE ATING PAG-ASA Concept and text by Luz Escalante-Sabas Music by Cayetano Rodriguez Choral Arr. by Janet Sabas-Aracama
Today marks the first death anniversary of Luz Escalante-Sabas, the mother of our conductor and pioneer of the Zero Waste Management movement in the Philippines.
Luz Sabas served as an inspiration for Musikalikasan, the 24th International Tour of the UP Concert Chorus, which incorporated a repertoire that sends a message of awareness, appreciation, and care for the environment.
She also wrote the words of a song in the Musikalikasan repertoire, “Zero Waste Ating Pag-asa”, which was then arranged by our conductor, Janet Sabas-Aracama. The song promotes zero waste as the answer and hope for the preservation of the environment.
To commemorate the death of Luz Sabas, here is our performance of the song “Zero Waste Ating Pag-asa” in Giessen, Hesse, Germany.#KorusVlog: BONTOC, SOUTHERN LEYTEUP Concert Chorus2018-03-06 | UPCC goes to Leyte!
At the onset of this year, from January 11 to January 16, we visited the beautiful town of Bontoc in Southern Leyte to share our advocacy for the environment through Musikalikasan. It was a short, but worthwhile stay for each us as we were able to engage in meaningful exchange with the locals and experience the beauty of this island.
We will be eternally grateful for the love and support the Bontocanons have poured for all of us! May God bless each of you. ‘Til we meet again!

This composition was first performed by ProForma, a choral group led by the composer of the song and choirmaster, Marcin Wawruk. UPCC made friends with Wawruk and ProForma in 2016 when UPCC came to Ecuador to participate in choir festivals. This 2017, Ceciliada became part of UPCC's European tour repertoire. This song also became one of the favorite songs in the repertoire, because of its breezy arrangement and catchy melody.
