Music has been my first love since childhood up to this time.  In fact, it came to a point that I auditioned in a singing competition on TV during my teenage years.  It was a funny experience because I had the hard time of beating the organist's timing to start the song. The audition master gave me up to three (3) chances to be on time hitting the tempo but I could not really make it. 

When I entered Vincentian Hills Seminary in 2000, I was a choir member.  Subsequently, when I stopped the seminary life, I joined  Friends of the Divine Mercy as Music Minister which lasted for approximately five (5) years. 

This time, when I joined Friends, it was a job well done when I was given the opportunity for a solo contemporary Praise Song.  It was a double fulfillment because I made it at last and most of  all, I was used as instrument to lead the community to worship, praise, thank and implore God.   

The creator himself connects music and nature because without the provision of nature, music can't be sustained.  No one can be a healthy musician without the healthy food that the nature provides.  No sophisticated instruments can be developed without the raw materials that the nature offers.  No finest artists can wear a trendy fashion statements without the finest fabric that nature constantly produces.  Golden voice cannot be preserved by eating manufactured sweets and chocolates on the day of performance but by drinking tap water which nature springs.  

Further, all aspects of life that cannot be expressed in deeds because of spiritual, social and political barriers can be articulated through music penetrating all sorts of issues whether it is filial, relational, communal, societal or personal.

Indeed, life and music are interwoven as partners and as part and parcel of life's existence that God freely bequeaths.
