Bianca Lopez, a member of GS Batch 2000, now training with the Philippines Madrigal Singers popular known as the MADZ was proclaimed Best Choir in the world after topping the 2007 European Grand Prix for Choral Singing in Arezzo, Italy last 27, 2007. The Madz is the first and only choir to win twice in this prestigious Choral Olympics of the world. It first won in June 1997 in Tours, France.

          The group bested formidable choirs such as Russia's Vesna Children's Choir, Hungary's Cantemos Mixed Choir and CUba's Schola Cantorum Carolna. The group performed a 20-minute presentation for the competition which included John Pamintuan's arrangement of "Pater Noster" and a children's song from Maguindanao entitled "Kaisa-isa Nyan" by Nilo Alcala.

           To Bianca and the 44-member Philippine choir, we are truly proud of you!
