The HTC-PFAC Drum and Lyre Corps was founded by Mr. Sammy Taylor in PFAC Palawan. Its purpose was to bring out the hidden talents of Vietnamese refugee youths and encourage them to showcase their musical skills and inspire other young people like them to do the same.
Members of the band were from the different HTC-PFAC classes. They were volunteers who wanted to share their love for music and entertainment. The band played to the delight of PFAC Palawan from 1986 to 1992. They also participated in Puerto Princesa City anniversary parade and in other important festivities organized by WESCOM.
With Sammy are UNHCR Head- Jan Top Christensen, Miss HTC
School Ngoc Diem, and HTC-PFAC School Executive Director- Sister
Bernadette Hizon.
