TACLOBAN CITY — In a moving evening of melody, gratitude, and reflection, the Asian Development Foundation College (ADFC) community gathered as the ADFC Symphony Orchestra and the ADFC Chorale presented “Forever In Our Music: A Musical Tribute”.
The concert brought together students, faculty, alumni, and community members to honor the enduring legacies of former ADFC President and founder Dr. Edward Y. Chua and former Tacloban City Vice Mayor Atty. Edwin Y. Chua.
A Symphonic Celebration Of Visionary Leadership
Through orchestral compositions and choral arrangements, the musical showcase paid homage to two influential figures whose dedicated leadership shaped Tacloban City's educational landscape and public service sphere.
Dr. Edward Y. Chua, who served as a pioneer in technical-vocational and higher education across Eastern Visayas, devoted decades to establishing ADFC into a premier institution on P. Burgos Street. Alongside him, Atty. Edwin Y. Chua rendered years of steadfast public service as a former city vice mayor and legal counselor, advocating for civic integrity and community development throughout the region.
Harmonies Of Gratitude And Remembrance
The program featured classical pieces and choral selections performed by student musicians and vocalists. Every note echoed the values of service, resilience, and compassion championed by the late leaders.
Organizers noted that the musical tribute served not only as a solemn memorial but also as an inspiring reaffirmation of the institution’s mission to nurture future generations of scholars and public servants in Leyte.
