“Tetet” as she is fondly called by her family and close friends graduated with the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, Major in Accounting
.
Although she has a full-time job in her field of study, Tetet seems to also devote a full-time apostolate serving the Lord as a cantor and a church choir member.
Currently, Tetet is a cantor at the Cathedral Chapel of St. Vibiana in Los Angeles and was a former cantor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, also in Los Angeles from 2006-2010. Her choir experience spans many years starting from being a member of her catholic college’s student chorale and chapel choir in Tacloban and the Salt and Light Community Choir of one of the Philippines’ lovely historic churches, Sanctuario de San Antonio, located in the exclusive posh community of Forbes Park.Tetet and Gines lived in Seoul, Korea for many years and while Gines was the Hyewhadong Cathedral’s musical director, Tetet sang in its Filipino Community Choir.
And to the present day, Tetet sings soprano for the Friends in Harmony and Capilla choirs, both resident choirs of the Cathedral Chapel of St. Vibiana under the musical direction of her husband, Gines.
Back in the Philippines, Tetet had her share of musical competitions. She sang for a musical group and won the top prize for the Tacloban Original Pop Music Group Contest. Likewise, she won the top prize of the Subiran Regatta Original Composition Contest.
Tetet is very grateful for her “God-given Gift” and pays it forward unconditionally.
Stateside, Tetet tirelessly performs pro bono in several fundraising concerts for the church and for WIN.
Please come and watch HALAD on July 23 and let your hearts be captivated by Tetet’s sweet, angelic voice!
