You came together as voices and became so much more — a family stitched together by rehearsals, late-night practices, shared laughter, nervous backstage whispers, and the quiet comfort of knowing someone always had your back.

We take pride in the strong and competent people—now educators—you’ve become. May your passion for music not only stay strong but be passed along to the new generations and stay alive through you.

All the best, our new generation of educators! You will always be a loved and valued member of Panayana!

Last December 17, 2025, the 𝐖𝐕𝐒𝐔 – 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 graced the 𝟏𝟎𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧, 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬 with a heartfelt performance that celebrated music, culture, and hope.

Featuring songs such as “𝑰𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒖𝒈𝒐, 𝑰𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒂𝒉𝒊, 𝑰𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒌𝒂,” “𝑩𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒚,” 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 “𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒚 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒚,” the group brought to life the story of Nene—a young girl growing up in poverty, facing life’s hardships while holding on to her dreams. Through her journey, Nene discovers that even without a perfect life, happiness can still be found through the true spirit of Christmas.

The performance beautifully reminded us that Christmas is more than gifts and celebrations—it is a season of love, joy, and hope, especially for those who continue to struggle. A simple yet powerful story that inspires us to keep going, no matter the challenges.

Once again, the group showcased their excellence not only in singing, but also in acting, dancing, and storytelling, whipping-up a heartfelt narrative that touched many hearts.

Special thanks to:
• 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀: Julienne Mae Suizo, Sunshine Solijon, and Vahron Tiongco
• 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀: Amiel John Libutaque & Carl Julius Halaba
• 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘀: Azil Jira Libuna & Dennis John Canja
• 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿 & 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿: Gwyneth Aricaya & Gerritz Jay Celestre

As the group always says: "𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔.” 🎶✨️

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆 to our Tatay, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂!

Words cannot express how grateful we are of your existence. Today, we celebrate that special day. You have changed the lives and touched the hearts of your students more than you can know through music and may you continue to do so in every piano key you press.

Beyond the music room, you are not only a mentor but also a father. You have taught us not only music but also of life. You have always given us that kind of constant support a father gives even when we were in doubt or lost. Of course, how could we forget the trademark dad jokes you often crack when we feel down, bored, or sad. For that, we love you deeply as our tatay.

Enjoy your special day, Sir. May it remind you of all the goodness you’ve shared simply by existing. Here’s to more years of inspiring, teaching, and making harmony both in music and in life. Your Panayana family will always be with you. Because at the end of the day, 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔!

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗻.

Through your love and passion for music, we have found the courage to discover our own rhythm and sing our own song. You’ve shown us that harmony is not only made of notes, but of kindness, patience, and shared dreams woven gently together. Each lesson with you is more than sound—it is a moment of connection, a story in melody, a glimpse of what it means to live with purpose and heart.

In the music room, by the PESCAR canteen, or wherever we find you, you have always been a father, a friend, and a mentor whose presence hums with care and warmth.

Happy birthday, Kayzii 💜✨

Our forever agot, conductress, dancer, actress, and the prettiest and always loved SATB head voice representative! Thank you for always filling our days with talent, laughter, and joy (and sometimes p**o sounds, lumpia, kape, turon moments 🤭).

“Gah—imo na tanan!” 🎶🌸🎂 Happyy bortdayyy, Disney princess!

And while you never fail to make us laugh and light up every moment, what makes you even more special is the heart behind it all. Beyond the fun and energy you bring, Panayana is truly grateful for the way you inspire us with your dedication and kindness. As our Vice Chairperson Internal, you lead with strength and grace, reminding us that joy and excellence can beautifully exist together. May this year bless you with more milestones, genuine friendships, and the kind of happiness that lasts. Keep shining, Kayzii—we’ll always be cheering you on. 🌟💜

Happy birthday, Chairperson Riegooo 🥳☀️

Panayana’s ball of sunshine, our kyotie chair, and a truly caring friend to everyone! Thank you for always making rehearsals and events brighter with your powerful bass and endless energy (and of course the unforgettable dum dom dum dum dom, the booming Kruhayyy!, the iconic BAHAAAAAAY!, and the classic lines—“Diin ang sibit? ang plantsaaaa? ang barong kag gowns oki naaa? Juskooo, ma start naaa!” 🤭). You’ll also be forever remembered as our pinalangga nga membership officer (eng majors choir na ba this? emee). 🌸🎶✨

Beyond all the funny moments and your sunshine vibes, we’re deeply grateful for your dedication, patience, and care. You’ve been both a leader and a sibling to us—always ready to help, always lifting spirits when things get tough. May this year bless you with more music, more laughter, and the kind of love that warms and stays. Keep shining, Riegoo—we’ll always be rooting for you. 💛🌟🎂

It’s never too late to celebrate! 🎉💛

Belated Happy Birthday, Konsi Manong Joush! 🙌 Your Panayana family is grateful for your guidance and service. May this year bring you more wisdom, joy, and blessings.

Padayon, Manong, and cheers to more milestones ahead! ✨
