Mr. Joy Nilo, Secretary of the Philippines Chorale Director Association and PPC Conductor said that before the contest, members of PPC were taught advance skills in theories and genres of chorale music and proper voice production
At present, the group is under the supervision and management of Human Resource Management and Development Officer Janet Asis and it was in 2012 when PPC first joined the said government chorale competition where they bagged 5th place.
On instruction of Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. the PPC was created in 2008 to ignite the revival of classical Pangasinan songs and to promote Pangasinan language.
The PPC is composed of 23 employees of the provincial government. (EjSorio)
