Our hearts go out to the family during this time of loss. On behalf of all of us at 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐨 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬, please accept our deepest and most sincere condolences.

Thank you for trusting us and allowing us to offer our songs for your dearly departed loved one. Music has a way of carrying our prayers when we can’t find the right words, and it was a true honor to sing in their memory.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to 𝐌𝐫. 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐋. 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞 for warmly welcoming and accompanying us, and to our pianist, 𝐌𝐫. 𝐋𝐞𝐨 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐥, for his beautiful accompaniment. Your support allowed us to offer our very best in tribute.

We hope that our melodies brought a little bit of comfort and peace to your family.

Happy Birthday, Era Jane Virgen!

You are someone who carries a quiet kind of presence in the group. Humble, kind, and soft in the way you move, yet strong in your own way. There is a calmness in you that people notice, the kind that brings ease and comfort to those around you.

Even in your quietness, your talent speaks for itself. You do not need to be loud to be seen or heard. The way you carry yourself and your gift already says so much.

You may not always be around, but you remain part of the group in a way that still matters to us.

We are grateful for you, Era.

Happy Birthday.

Maraming salamat po, Sir. We will carry these lessons with us in every performance.
