Spotlight on talent: Tuloy Po Kayo—102 Years of Business Unusual Concert ignites UP Theatre
The Pan Xenia-Adelfe Enu Crea Foundation, in collaboration with the Ropali Group of Companies, SB Finance, Inc., and Villar City, will present a grand musical celebration entitled “Tuloy Po Kayo: 102 Years of Business Unusual” on September 20, 2025, at 7 pm at the University Theater, UP Diliman. This special event will showcase the world class talents of the UP Concert Chorus, the UP Symphony Orchestra, and will include captivating dance performances by the award-winning UP Filipiniana Dance Group.
Participation of Pan Xenia (PX) and Adelfe Enu Crea (AEC) members
Alongside these acclaimed performers, members of the UP Pan Xenia Fraternity and UP Adelfe Enu Crea Sorority will also take the stage. Some will sing with the UP Concert Chorus, while others will dance with the UP Filipiniana Dance Group. The journey toward this concert began when Brod Frankie Aseniero, a celebrated tenor, offered singing lessons to interested fraternity and sorority members. A group of ten began meeting at the UP College of Music, forming the “Let’s Sing” ensemble under Brod Frankie’s guidance. They first performed at joint fraternity and sorority events, such as the 101st Pan Xenia anniversary and its subsequent Christmas party.
Inspired to take the initiative further, Brod Conrad Gloria envisioned a concert sponsored by the Pan Xenia-Adelfe Enu Crea Foundation to raise funds for its causes and provide the group a prominent stage.
Reflections from members
Members who are participating in the concert expressed their enthusiasm for the event. Brod Robin Fabian remarked, “This event is a great avenue for our fraternity brods and sorority sisses to showcase hidden talents and tell people that aside from business matters, we also excel in the arts.” Brod Manny Manuel added, “I wish for more students and professionals to be part of our fraternity and sorority so that legacies can be passed on to the next generation of business and socio-civic leaders.” Sis Kristine Aganon expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming concert, remarking, “Who could have imagined that I’d get to perform with the renowned UP Concert Chorus? This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I look forward to sharing this experience with my family and friends.” Finally, Sis Marion Kohchet-Chua said,” This experience is a wonderful and meaningful reunion with brods and sisses as well as with Professor Janet Aracama from whom I owe so much of my chorale training having been under her tutelage for the Himig Undaya Chorale of St. Theresas College QC Alumnae Association. Priceless experience!”
