ASCOT singer-composer alumna Angelica M. Bihasa is honored during the Araw ng Pagkilala, Natatanging Anak ng Aurora Ceremony and Recognition on February 18, 2024, at the PGA grounds.

She composed the Aurora Provincial Tourism Jingle, which can be heard over local radio stations, “Tara na sa Aurora,” and the ADC 2024 official theme song, “Pasidayaw Aurora.”

The Sabutan Award 2024 portion of the Araw ng Pagkilala of the Aurora Day Celebration aims to recognize her support for the tourism endeavors of the Aurora Tourism Office.

“Masaya po, first time ko po mabigyan ng ganoong award. Yung feeling po na marecognized ka ng ibang tao at yung talent mo is ibang level sa tagal na po kasi ngayon palang po narecognized ng ganoon. Madami pong gumagamit ng mga songs ko, pero hindi po nila ako kilala or hindi nila alm na ako pala yon. Only a few knew it was me; na okey lang naman, kasi for me, PARA SA AURORA po talaga. Pero iba po pala kapag narecognized yung talent and effort. Masarap po sa pakiramdam. Kaya sobrang thankful po ako kay Lord, kasi binigyan nya po ako ng talent na ganoon, at sa mga taong nagtiwala po sakin lalo na sa provincial tourism office.” Angelica said during the online interview.

Angelica is a graduate of BS English from the Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) School of Education and an active performer during her college years.

Once again, congratulations, Angelica, on this well-deserved recognition! We are so proud of you!
