1992: Beginnings
Chorus Paulinus was founded on February 10, 1992 by Arnold Zamora with Frederick de Santos as assistant music director. The name Chorus Paulinus was coined from the name of the parish, St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Timog, Quezon CityQuezon City

, where the choir originally served. Since its inception, the choir has regarded itself first and foremost, as a church choir. The goal was to simply spread the word of God through music. However, this has not stopped the choir from pursuing choral excellence. In order to achieve this, the directors, who are the only members with a formal music education, decided to screen applications via auditions to limit the membership in quality and quantity. The choir’s initial activities consisted of providing music during masses, weddings, funerals, and other special occasions upon invitation of the parishioners. Outside the church, the choir started rehearsing for and performing at Madz et al. - a yearly choral festival reserved for groups who are conducted by members or alumni of the Philippine Madrigal Singers.

(DTI). Chorus Paulinus then began making waves in the local choral scene. They were solicited to perform in non-church related activities by various individuals, private corporations and public organizations. It was around this period when the group acquired the nickname Chopa.
Chopa started holding annual fundraising concerts in 1995 to enable them to embark on several outreach programs in different regions of the Philippines. Through the support of the Cultural Center of the Philippines

(NCCA), the choir has done much to benefit churches, communities, and charities through their outreach programs. The concerts also provided a chance to showcase the choir. The uniqueness of their repertoire is not simply based on the variety of music they perform (sacred, classical, pop, folk, foreign, madrigals). The choir prides itself with its original a cappella

compositions and arrangements by its resident arrangers: Arnold Zamora, Frederick de Santos, Chito Tapnio, Jesus Carlo Merino and Dale Francisco. Chopa also has an exceptional talent in the form of Jasmin Loremas. Although not a music major, her ability to achieve perfect pitch made her the choir’s human tuning fork, allowing Chopa to start their a cappella performance in the correct tones without the aid of an instrument like a piano or traditional tuning fork. In 1998, Chopa once again proved their choral excellence as they won two awards, the Best Performance in Choice Piece and the Grand Prize, at the Awit Para sa Bayan Centennial Choral Competition.
By 1999, as Chopa continued to excel in local choral contests such as the University of the Philippines, Los Baños

. As the group marked its tenth anniversary in 2002, several of its members in the past decade had already retired, although they continue to value the years of training they have had with the group.
