The Delegation from the Philippines to the annual NACSEAsia Convention were pleasantly surprised when the Jakarta Youth Choir

started the Concert at Depok Church on 16^th January 2016 with a rendition of the Filipino “Rosas Pandan”

Rosas Pandan is a Cebuano folk song composed by Minggoy Lopez; with Levi Celerio as lyricist in 1973. A song of joy and love, it tells about a pretty mountain maid who loves to dance the balitaw. The vibrant melody and intricate harmonies lend to a joyous celebration of music which transcend differences in language; such that the song also captured the taste of many nations and led them into choral renditions of our very own Rosas Pandan.
