Congrats to OLONGAPO YOUTH CHOIR for winning two silver medals and Olongapo ICT for winning one gold in the recent 1st Asian Choir Games in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I'd like to correct -- there are TWO youth choirs in OCNHS who joined the competition:
1) OLONGAPO YOUTH CHOIR, headed by Ms. Jennivee Tolentino
--The group who joined and won a choir competition in Xiamen,China last year;
In the recent competition, they won two silver medals.
2) OLONGAPO "ICT" CHORALE
--A new group from the ICT curriculum in OCNHS; It's their first time to join such international competition - which in the said 1st asian choir competition in Jakarta, they have won a gold medal.
