As an FYI, FFRGOC Choir, most of the times, grace our events for the whole year and also were invited locally by other churches including Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA as part of the Filipino ministry of the Diocese of Orange.

If you hear them sing, you will experience the joy and honor and be proud of being part of our FFRGOC organization just like I do and our choir can also sing in different languages - English, Spanish, Latin and different dialects of the Philippines like Tagalog and Ilocano. In one performance, the choir also used big drum.

Thank you to all the officers and members of FFRGOC Choir for your talents shared in all your performances and most of all to President Glenn and his wife Mary Ann. MABUHAY !
