(Charot)

Kuya Walter, salamat po at binuo nyo po ang FVS. Kung wala kayo, malamang walang FVS.
O baka ibang name lang tulad ng Filipino Symphony Choir.
Alam ko pong di kayo natatawa sa joke ko, pero joke po un kuya.

Pero ito na totoo, mamimiss ko po talaga kayo ni ate lani ng sobra kasi kayo po nagturo samin na mag improve at maging matatag.
Isa po sa mga natutunan ko po sa inyo eh kumanta dapat ng galing sa puso. Sing to express, not to 0.

Ang galing nyo po ni ate lanie, naka retire na kayo ng maaga at maraming investments.
Yan din po goal namin ni august makapagretire ng maaga.
Heheheh.

Mamimiss ko po kayong dalawa. Isa po kayong magandang halimbawang mag-asawa. Through thick and thin po talaga.

Salamat po ate Lanie sa mga turo mo. Sa tuwing kumakanta ako, palagi ko iniisip 'yong sinasabi mo sa sopranos dati na dapat kumanta kami with confidence kasi diva ang sopranos.
Nga pala ate, gustong gusto ko po gayahin ung pagiging soft-spoken mo. Ang sarap kasi sa tainga.

Alam ko pong magiging masaya kayo dun sa Pilipinas. Mag iingat po kayo palagi. Pangumusta mo nalang po ako kay President Duterte. Pakisabi po na itaas ng ung PSE kasi po red port na ung COL ko...😂😂😂😂

Nagmamahal,
Ems

Di po kayo nagsawa at nahumpay sa pag-ako ng mga gastusin at iba pang mga alalahanin para lang di na isipin ito ng mga miyembro. Kitang kita po ng lahat ng mga ka-pamilya natin sa FVS kung paano nyo po minahal ang grupo sa kahabaan ng samahang ito. Kaya sana po ay maramdaman din ninyo kung gaano rin kayo minamahal ng lahat.

Malapit lang naman po ang Pinas, so asahan po ninyo ang pagdalaw namin sa hacienda ninyo sa Zambales balang araw. Nawa ay makadalo rin po kayo sa mga pagtatanghal ng FVS sa hinaharap. Nakatatak na po ang pusong Johnson sa lahat ng pagsusumikapan ng FVS. Salamat po sa tiwala na nauna nyong binigay sa akin kesa sa sarili ko. Wala po ako dito ngayon kung wala po kayo. ♥️

Mahal na mahal po namin kayo. Sana po ay laging malusog ang inyong pangangatawan at maligaya kayo sa piling ng isa’t isa at inyong mga mahal sa buhay. Hanggang sa muli po, Kuya Walter at Ate Lani! 😊

Lablab, Gladys 🤗♥️

Maraming maraming salamat sa isang dekada ng masasayang alaala at minsang ma-dramang yugto sa FVS! hehe..
I remember the first time na um-attend ako ng rehearsal with the group sa bahay niyo. Bilang bagong pinoy sa SG na walang masyadong kakilala, isa po kayo sa mga nagparamdam sa akin ng mainit na pagtanggap at pinadama niyo sa akin at ng buong FVS hanggang ngayon na may pangalawang pamilya ako na maaasahan dito sa Singapore.
Maraming salamat po sa pagtitiwala, mga paalala at mga payo niyo sakin lalo na nung nagsisimula pa lang ako sa grupo. Yung pag-push nyo na matuto ako maging confident kumanta especially noong nagturo si Mam Elsie at pati kay Emil.
Maraming salamat sa patuloy na pag suporta sa grupo. Yung mga pagdidisiplina at paalala nyo sa grupo keeps FVS grounded.
At sa bagong yugto na inyong tatahakin sa Pinas, I wish you all the best. Good health always, lots of happiness and forever love!

Nagmamahal,
Nald

Kuya, maraming salamat sa pag-recommend ng Ezra soap.

I wish you all the best as you continue your life's journey back in the Philippines! It's been too short a time since I joined FVS, I wish I could have sung with both of you in much more concerts! While I'm excited for you as you start your new adventure, that's the only part I'm sad about. But it was great singing with both of you those few times, ibang level! At least, I know in my heart this isn't goodbye, and I will be looking forward to our next catch up! FVS, and the Hougang Gang will be different without you!

Salamat po sa pagbuo ng FVS and for remaining as the strong pillars of the group. Maraming salamat po sa palaging pagsuporta. ❤ I am about to reach my 1st year and I must say, malaki po agad ung naging part ng group sa 'kin kahit ganun lang po kaigsi, at ganun din po kayo sa 'kin.

Ate Lani, your words of love and encouragement made a lot of magic lalo na sa time na super down and stressed ung sopranos. Thanks for lifting us up! It made us believe that we can really be more of what we were during that time. We'll definitely miss our pep talks. Sana po kahit sa chat meron pa rin po. 😊

Always take care po and hope to see you soon! lab lab po! ❤ - Carla

Thank you very much for all your support for FVS. You have always opened your lovely home for us, patiently coached and guided us to improve, and just simply made your love for the group felt by us all. How I wish I had the chance to sing and bond with you more, but I am just blessed to have known you and be one in friendship with you through FVS.

We will miss you around especially pag may mga events dahil kayo yung laging present sa audience. And mami-miss ko yung sweetness nyo sa isa't-isa, kainggit..hehe..Hope to still be in touch with you!

Kuya Walter and Ate Lani, maraming salamat po at dahil sa inyo, nabuo ang FVS.
Thank you for not giving up on FVS. Because of your unwavering perseverance and support to the group, you have touched a lot of lives, especially mine.

Ate Lani, personally I would like to thank you for being our "cheerleader" especially nung concert. We will never forget how you pushed and encouraged us to come out of our comfort zones and sing through our hearts. Sabi mo nga, Soprano dapat ang Diva. haha. your words that night remains and will always be in my heart. Maraming Salamat po talaga.

It had been a learning experience with you and FVS will never be the same without you. We wish you all the best! Stay healthy po and may your lives be filled with so much love and happiness.

Maraming salamat sa lahat. Malaking impact niyo sa akin nung sumali ako sa FVS. Before ako nagjoin, pinakinggan po ni MsDheng sa akin ung recordings ng group at napanganga ako kasi alam ko d ko kaya ganun level. Pero malaking salamat kasi inaccept niyo ako at ung mga turo at comments ni Kuya Walter, cgurado d ko yun makakalimutan. Kung kasection mo naman si Kuya Walter, walang lusot ang gusot 😂. Kahit nagretire na kayo sa FVS, walang sawa pa rin kayo umattend ng rehearsal para makabigay ng comment para magimprove. Malaki effect ung presence niyo kasi lahat napupush para magstepup — eto mamsiss ko 🙁 (at saka ung mga shots na bigay ni Kuya Walter 🥃☺️).

Hanggang sa next na kita kita 😊.

Sarsi

That being a part of this group doesn't stop during rehearsals and dining out but a friendship formed that will last a lifetime. I was privileged to have shared the stage with you once and it was a great experience to have sung with you both.

Salamat po for all your love and support and I know you will continue to share your love kahit nasa Pilipinas na po kayo.

As many here have said this is not a goodbye but a continuation of a beautiful friendship that was created thru FVS.

I wish you the best of everything in your new journey back in the Philippines. I know you will continue to keep in touch na parang nasa Regentville lang kayo.

Ikaw talaga ang dahilan kung ba't napasok ako sa FVS, eh. Grabeh...ahahahha. Naalala ko pa, sabi ni ate Hayds, kulto daw tong samahan na ito. Ahahahha. Iba kasi hilig nya. Pero nagpapasalamat po ako ng very very big at naisipan mo akong irecruit sa KULTONG ito. Aside sa mga kasama sa opisina na Pinoy, and kasama sa bahay na Pinoy, nadagdagan ang Pinoy family ko sa SG. Merun pa akong FVS Family dahil sayo. heheheh. Salamat kuya Walts...

To Ate Lani (naman),
Ay, nako po. Ikaw naman... grabeh, idol ko po kayo sa words of wisdom, ate Lans. Kapag nagsalita kayo, talagang malaman, nakakatouch, sobra. Salamat po sa mga times na we Sang together, pag naanjan ka, nabubuhay lalo ang S2. ahahahha. At kahit nung di na kayo kumakanta, ang mga support nyo sa FVS, lalo na nung concert, nakakataba ng puso... Salamat po ate Lani...

Thank you for opening your home and hearts to FVS. The group will not have reached greater heights without your love and support. We have all been touched by your dedication and commitment, and we have grown together in love all these years. Your presence will be missed, but your warmth will always be felt. We are but just miles apart and close enough to keep each other in our thoughts and prayers.

Salamat po at never kayong nagdamot ng time, talent, support, and even personal advices. You are a BIG part why we are enjoying FVS this much kasi sobrang minahal at inalagaan nyo po ang family na 'to. How I wish that we could have been given more time to sing with you both but we are comforted by the fact na an exciting and invigorating adventure is waiting for you back home.

Please take with you all the fond memories we've shared and know that you always have a family in us. Ingat po kayo palagi and iarrange na natin ang Zambales concert.

FVS will not be what it is today if not without your influence in choral singing. Not only the singing but most importantly the standards and vision that you have for the group. And we are forever be thankful for that, that now we have a good FVS community in our second home, in Singapore.

We'll probably not say goodbyes since malapit lang naman Singapore. You can easily get here if may concert. To think na mas mabilis pa papunta dito from Manila kesa papunta Zambales from Manila. All the best to your new adventure back in Philippines!

God speed!

Maraming memories sa Regentville na hinding hindi ko makakalimutan mula sa rehearsals, pagcelebrate ng FVS anniversary, hanggang matters of the heart ko. Hahahaha :D
Pangarap ko rin pong kantahin ang You Don’t Bring Me Flowers kasama si Conan pero kailangan pa nya ng practice kaya ang saya ko nung kinanta nyo yun 1 time sa videoke hahahaha.

I think I am the last one to write this message coz it took some time for me to ponder on the things I want to say.

We have been very good close friends not only in music but also as true friends. It all started with Larry and Walter as school mates. Then we migrated here in SG at saka ko kayo nakilala thru Larry. Intro pa ni Larry nun sa akin mga 13 years ago pa nun...

“magkikita kami nung classmate ko sa Marist si Walter Johnson, yung anak nung lay minister sa St Paul of the Cross”...

dagdag pa ni Larry...”alam mo kumakanta pa sila sa SSC (tama ba?) hehehe

“Magaling silang pareho kumanta” banat pa ni larry...🤩 sobrang nabuild-up kayo ni Larry sa akin kaya ako naintriga hahaha....

Hanggang sa kami ang kumuha ng rented unit nila sa Regentville....

Kaya hindi lang friends...kapitbahay pa...parang tayong pusod na pinagdugtong....na pinaglapit ng tadhana....dun nagsimula ang friendship ng Johnsons and Angels ☺️

At habang tumatagal, we are getting more closer and closer....parang mag-asawa thru thick and thin...nagdadamayan....

Hanggang napasali kami sa FVS...kasi no choice kami dahil isang floor lang ang pagitan ng rehearsal venue hahaha

Ngayon...hindi lang yan....recently Larry and Walter had common things to talk with - ang pagiging magclassmate nila sa “stenting ng puso” nila...

Ngayon....what my feelings are is actually me and Larry felt sad sa naging decision niyong bumalik ng Pinas...pero ika nga life has to move on...

Nobela di ba?

Thank you Johnsons....

for building up FVS....you are the rock that made the group’s foundation solid. We owe it a lot to both of you.

We always would like to wish you all the best to both of you and Shaun. We believe that your decision would bring you more inner peace and contentment. We will surely miss you both.

Malay niyo first overseas outing ng FVS eh sa Zambales...☺️

Meron pa tayong part 2 meet-up ha...

Larry and Grace 😇
