HON. ERNESTO ESTRAO

MAYOR
Municipality of Hinobaan
Negros Occidental

Dear Sir:

Greetings of Peace and Solidarity!

Around the world, Filipinos are known for their talents - be it singing, dancing, or acting. These
talents, which are keenly discovered, enhanced and recognized, contribute to the vastness of
Filipino arts and culture.

Over the years, the DE LA SALLE CHORALE (DLSC; formerly THE LA SALLE CHORALE) is among the
country's premier choral ensembles, which have been successful in advocating the preservation
of the Filipino sense of cultural and artistic legacy. As the University of St. La Salles Ambassadors
of Goodwill through choral music, the group was able to maintain a reputation for its remarkable
interpretation of a wide spectrum of vocal musical literature which has earned itself the
distinction of being one of the most sought-after and outstanding choral ensembles in the country.

In great tradition of the Lasallian virtues of creativity, artistry and excellence and in line with its
mission-vision of bringing the group to greater heights, the group opens another highly
anticipated season of music-making to battle against 32 outstanding choral groups from 12
different countries worldwide in 13 category competitions, and vie for the most-coveted GRAND
PRIX International Championship Trophy in the 5th VIETNAM INTERNATIONAL CHOIR
COMPETITION which is set to take the center stage of the beautiful City of Hoi An on June 7-11,
2017.

Now, as the choristers embark on another milestone performance, our only hope is in our young,
dynamic and talented roster of Lasallian choral artists who untiringly share a common passion of
making music the heart of every man's soul. But as much as our members give their best shot in
preparation to battle against the best choristers worldwide, each and every member also need to
secure the financial considerations and demands necessary to successfully accomplish such
endeavor.

This is why we depend on friends like you for support. Your generous contribution, in any amount,
will surely go a long way in making sure that all travel costs of the group's participation are covered.
Your valuable help to such noble endeavor will ensure that every hope and dream is realized. Our
success greatly lies upon the degree of faith and trust you extend to the group.

For more information, you may reach out to us in the contact numbers adjacent to our names.

Thank you very much and may the blessings of the Almighty be upon us all.

Respectfully,

NINI T. GAMILLA (0927 026 2291)
