Music + Events: Trenta Guitar at SM City Masinag

Had to do a double take when I saw the headline of this Press Release, mostly because Paul played in a Trenta Guitara group, which is an annual gathering of musicians who get together during the Holy Week to serve during the Easter Vigil at the Parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Antipolo. 

Before picking up the camera and pursuing photography, Paul used to play the guitar. He has a good singing voice also, one of my fondest memories is when he played Lisa Loeb songs and sang to me (*Kilig*) -ahem. Going back to the Trenta Guitara exhibit...

Alongside SM Supermalls’ celebration of its 30th Anniversary, SM City Masinag showcases 30 iconic guitars at its mall atrium.

The International Guitar Month is annually celebrated every April since 1987.
