    Among the institutions where these outreach performances were held are the Davao del Norte District Jail, Davao Regional Hospital, Bishop Reagan Memorial Hospital, Tagum Doctors Hospital, the Tagum City Bagsakan Area in Public Market, Gloria Christi Regis Center for the Orphaned Children and Home for the Aged.
