Concert at the PNP-General Hospital 2: The K-Pop Invasion!

With the success of the PNP General Hospital Concert at the Park, came a clamour for the CORPS Movement to immediately repeat its performance to once again serenade the doctors, nurses, dentists and patients of the Hospital.

With all the set activities for the coming month from its members, the CORPS Movement was finding it difficult to achieve such purpose especially in terms of finding talents with the heart to minister to the PNP. Providentially, the Lord touched the heart of a travelling Korean missionary to minister Camp Crame to have an impromptu concert for 2 WEEKS as a platform to present the gospel to the patients.

Rev. Il Do Uk ,who is a dear friend of our dedicated Meycauayan Police Station BOC Volunteer Ptr. Ysmael “ Smiley” Jiao,  have been in the country ministering to the less fortunate by playing contemporary Filipino folk music and hymns using his tenor saxophone. He was invited over by Ptr. Smiley to join the CORPS’ Thursday group prayer meeting to observe the Police Ministry of the CORPS Movement Foundation.

Although Rev. Uk  doesn’t support extensive hairdos, mascaras and eyeliners, and “emo” outfits, he still gave a dose of Korean Pop flavour in  the Gospel Music he performed which is a sure hit to the heart of pinoys . The missionary musician first touched the hearts of the BOC pastors with his rendition of the Old Rugged Cross during the Thursday morning prayer fellowship.

They then proceeded to the PNP Hospital where they rendered hymns and “tagalong” folk songs to the delight of the patients and hospital personnel alike. All wards from surgery to orthopaedic were serenaded. It was followed by some inspirational talks on overcoming problems and infirmities and prayers for healing, repentance and redeeming by our Bless Our Cops volunteers.

Rev. Uk also had a chance to serenade the leadership of the PNP General Hospital including PSSUPT Loida Balagot and PSUPT Bernie Banac in the lunch meetings that continued after the Hospital visit. They all had a wonderful review of the visit.

The visit was a sure hit that Rev. Uk extended the visit for another week to again minister to the PNP Hospital which again received him graciously and affectionately.
