He will sing “This Is The Moment,” from “Jekyll and Hyde The Musical,” his winning piece in the said international competition prior his stint in Philippine Idol.

While in Midsayap, Cotabato, all three artists will appeal for peace and order in Mindanao.

Notre Dame Academy (NDA) in Midsayap, Cotabato formally opened its doors to students in July 1941. Founded by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, NDA has been the first of all established Notre Dame schools in the archipelago and the Asian Region. The outbreak of World War II prompted the temporary closure of the institution on that same year. It reopened in 1946 with Fr. Robert Sullivan, OMI as director.

In June 1960, NDA started to offer collegiate courses to students with Fr. Charles Prass, OMI as its first Rector. The institution has since been named as Notre Dame of Midsayap College (NDMC).

On NDMC’s 65th year, the institution stands proud of its accomplishments and of what it has become – 65 years of selfless and dedicated service. NDMC traces its history from its humble beginnings to being a stronghold of learning. Through time, NDMC has become a compassionate community with remarkable commitment coming from its leaders. Fr. Romeo Saniel, OMI is NDMC’s Diamond Jubilee President.
