President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo arrived this morning in Loboc, Bohol to inaugurate the Loboc Children's Choir Theater and the access road leading to it. Loboc Mayor Leon Calipusan and Ambassador Carlos Chan of Liwayway Marketing assisted the President in the ceremonies. Ambassador Carlos Chan donated the theater for the world-famous Loboc Children's Choir. Ambassador Chan said that he donated the theater so that the children's choir will have a permanent place to practice. The 22-member choir then serenaded the President and guests during the ceremony.

The choir was founded in 1980 and since then emerged as one of the most outstanding young singers in the country. The choir has already harvested awards here and in international competitions. It won the National Music Competition for Young Artists (children’s category) in 1993, 1995 and 2001. The Loboc Children's Choir has also bagged two major awards during the Europe’s Songs 6th International Folklore Choir Festival held in Barcelona, Spain.

After the inauguration, together with Tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano, the President then boarded in one of Loboc's famous floating restaurants for a cruise on the Loboc River.
