Maurice Dan Geroy, a former choirmaster of the Cebu Institute of Medicine (CIM), gathered his former students for one mission — give hope and comfort through music.
Geroy together with 32 former choir members, who are now practicing in the different fields of medicine, worked together for a month to finish the video cover of the song “Paraiso” that was originally written by National Artist for Music, Ryan Cayabyab.
Geroy told CDN Digital that he started to distribute the piece to his former students during the second week of April.“Knowing that music is a great tool to give comfort, hope, and joy, so I asked my former students who are mostly doctors now practicing all over the Philippines and some are outside the country already. I have always told them that I want them to become a blessing thru their music and lives, and not do it for fame or reward,” he said.
“I chose the song Paraiso because God has blessed us with a beautiful country but as of the moment we cannot enjoy it. Hoping that the message of the song can give comfort and hope that when this is over we can once again enjoy this beautiful place God entrusted us,” he said.
