The Manila Vocal Ensemble is composed of eight to twelve students and professionals whose objectives are: to promote the Filipino culture in songs and dances; to promote Filipino performing art of world-renowned music; to share God's peace and love through music; and to provide voice and academic scholarship to the members in their chosen field of study.

The Manila Vocal Ensemble has launched three world and a yearly European concert tour since its founding on May 6, 1982 at YMCA, Manila. During these tours, the ensemble represented the Philippines in various international festivals in Austria, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, England, Wales, and the United States. It also performed for the Diplomatic Corps of the countries it visited. countless international press reviews have been continuously received by the choir. All of which have the same comment: "you can hear from this fantastic and formidable small choir a vocal texture that could not be heard from even the bigger choirs. Its interpretation and style do not only appeal to the heart, but also to the intellect." Hence, a standing ovation has been a common response by its enthusiastic and grateful audiences.

Since 1991, the choir has added to its repertoire Philippine tribal dances using authentic costumes and instruments, a move which further enthralled local and international audiences.
