The ensemble previously performed during the Regional ARAL Visit and participated in the preliminaries of the City Mayor's State of the City Address (SOCA).
Under the guidance of rondalla ensemble advisers Glydel C. Gumpay, Adrinor NiΓ±a D. Mancera and Nonito A. Deligero Jr. with technical assistance from Division Technical Assistance Provider and Musical Instructor Nathaniel Jarabe, the ensemble continues to prepare for future performances and further develop their musical abilities. #
