Antonio Lumanog III.
Student, Musician, and Photographer in Manila, Philippines
For God, For Music!
Hey guys! I’m Antonio . A Student, Musician, Arranger/Producer, and a Photographer at 21 years old. This is how I serve the Lord. This is my ministry doing all the works for God.
Short history about me is that our Family owns a Business which is the Antonio Lumanog Music Store, which the location is at Guagua, Pampanga our home province, and Sta. Mesa, Manila, And I came from a family of musicians in both sides of my parents.
Having the course which is Conservatory of Music course at the University of Santo Tomas, I'm currently a 4th Year student. And through this course that I took, this enhances my skills in playing instruments and arrange or produce music for God
I belong in a church that is the Jesus Is Lord Church Greenhills Chapter in Music Museum Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan City. I'm most commonly a Worship Musician a.k.a. JAM or Jesus' Army of Musicians, playing instruments for the glory of God.
I play the Drums, Guitar, Bass, and Piano. My fellow musicians especially at Church, they call me a ‘One Man Band’ due to my skills on playing all instruments, I can use that to minister the people leading them in worship through these instruments.
I also arrange or produce music that I love in our Church and through the help of our Music Director who I call Kuya Marlon Oliveros, who is also a Conservatory of Music Student in UST, I have some of his nuggets of wisdom and applied it in my own style of music that I arrange. And there's this saying from him and put it as my mindset.
He said that "We should out our hearts to the arrangements through the power of the Holy Spirit, that the first person that will be ministered by our arrangements we ourselves. Dapat tayo unang-unang nabless ng ating areglo." And with this nuggets of wisdom from Him, I learned it THE HARD WAY because he is right. And as typing this, I've been reminded by it.
One of my arrangements used for our Church first is for our 42nd Anniversary in 2020 and recently 45th Anniversary (2023) of the Jesus Is Lord Church, the arrangement I did was the Lupang Hinirang. And secondly, for the JIL Greenhills 23rd Anniversary, I arranged the Ikaw Ang Yaman Ko Production Number. With these two arrangements, I used this for God's glory.
To conclude, when you love what you do, you will excel from it and makes u never stop learning about what you love. And dreams really come true. And, JUST DO IT! not by your own strength but DO IT WITH GOD!
