Odiseng further stated that the occasion continues an already existing relationship between the FNBB Foundation and KTM Choir. She revealed they extended the same support to KTM Choir in 2019 when it went to Sweden to compete in the World Choir Games by pledging P300,000. KTM Choir won a gold award during the games.
