Cebu City District’s Pardo cluster wins in ‘Himig ng Kaligtasan’ youth edition

The district officers of the Christian Family Organizations (CFO) organized the musical event, with the guidance of Brother Jomar Dueñas, district supervising minister.

Five clusters of adjacent congregations, namely, Pardo, Cebu City, Motorpool, Mandaue, and Liloan clusters competed in the singing contest, which was staged at the Marcelo Fernan Press Center in Lahug, Cebu City.

The Mandaue cluster choral group landed second place with the song “Salamat Po, Ama” (Thank You, Father). The third placer was the choir from Liloan, who sang “Malapit na! Malapit na!” (It is Near, It is Near). The winning choral groups received trophies.

“We are very glad that we made it to the top,” Sharmaine Baldo, a member of the Pardo cluster enthused. “We did not really expect it to happen, but we are thankful to the Lord God for this success, and we give all the glory to Him because without His help we would not be able to make it.”

Jane Moraca, another performer, added, “Our hearts are filled with joy and gladness in our participation in this activity. We did our best and we hope that we have given inspiration and joy to the brethren and even more glory to the Lord God.”

“This kind of activity truly inspires the youth members of the Church to become more active in their duties and in their services to our Lord God,” said Brother Vyron Facinag, district overseer of the CFO. “We are truly grateful to our beloved Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo Manalo, for launching activities such as this.” — With reports from Blessie Rempillo of INC News Section
