The Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen commemorated the 20th Anniversary of its establishment with a thanksgiving mass on 07 June 2015 at the Xiamen Cathedral/Church of the Holy Rosary in Lundu Lu, Xiamen City. The mass was highlighted by the participation of the Philippine Madrigal Singers (MADZ), their last performance in Fujian Province.

 

 

On 28 February 1995, the Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen was formally opened with the Honorable Benito B. Valeriano serving as the first Philippine Consul General in Xiamen which originally had consular jurisdiction over Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan Provinces.

 

 

Consul General Julius Caesar Flores is the 7th and the current Consul General to head the Consulate General in Xiamen which now covers Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces.

 

 

The concelebrated mass was officiated by Bishop Joseph Cai and Fr. Joseph Cai. The MADZ served as church choir to the great delight of the churchgoers composed mostly of Filipinos, Chinese, and other expat Catholics.

 

 

After the mass, the MADZ performed with a brief but enchanting repertoire of gospel, OPM and contemporary pop songs that was very much appreciated by the churchgoing public.

 

 

Bishop Cai expressed sincere appreciation to the Consulate General for sharing the MADZ with Xiamen Cathedral /Our Lady of the Rosary Church. He also acknowledged the great talent of Filipinos in arts and music that makes them stand out in the world stage. He said he is hopeful that the MADZ will visit Xiamen again next year for another magical performance. END
