Good Shepherd Pearl Awards

The Gift of a Praise and Music Heraldry
“Sing gratefully to God from your hearts
in psalms, hymns and inspired songs.”
(Colossians 3:16)

PEOPLE PRECIOUS & FEW CHOIR
“Is Mission-Driven and Purpose-Propelled "

The bleak pronouncement of martial law on September 21, 1972 did not dampen the energy and resolve of 11 youngsters in Fairview to organize themselves into a group dedicated to giving praise and homage to the Lord through lively gospel music.

Christened the People Precious and Few Choir, this group instantly embarked on a mission of joy and life giving by singing their hearts out in a makeshift Fairview chapel which was actually an automotive motor pool at that time.

They eventually made their mark as modernists or music heralds of the times, especially to the parish youth attending the Sunday services, for giving vent to their creative urge to add life and luster to the standard arrangement of church songs.
Undaunted by an occasional admonition or sanction here and then, they chose to extend their musical fervor to holding no less than ten charity concerts, some in Ilocos, Iloilo and Tagaytay, the last of which contributed to the rise of the present parish of Inang Saklolo. They now have 2 CDs to their name, Ama Namin and Mga Himig Misa, putting to good use the proceeds to launch a scholarship program for indigent high school students.

Now on its 33rd year, the People Precious and Few Choir continues to serve the parish community in the regular masses, Lenten presentations and pastoral visitations, and endlessly proclaiming the goodness of the Lord through the magic of their music and the wonder of their song.
