Congratulations to the KATHA Board of Trustees for successfully organizing the Asia Philippines '98. I extend my felicitations as well to all our local performing artists and those from our neighbors in Asia who will be participating in this most prestigious musical event in the region.
It is with music that we Filipinos celebrate life. It has been engraved in our nation's history and will always be an integral part of our existence. We live, we die, we laugh, we sigh, we love and we cry with our music.
Now that we are celebrating 100 years of Philippine Independence, it is just fitting to focus our attention on this common thread that has united our hears together with our Asian brothers and sisters for the past century our love for music.
Mabuhay ang KATHA!
Mabuhay and Musikang Pilipino!
