From the CD Liner:
PARABLES OF THE PARING BOL-ANON
Jesus, the master teacher was a good story-teller and he always spoke in parables ¾ stories that were relevant to the people’s everyday life, enabling lessons that were easy to understand and remember, teachings that have time-release effect and enduring over time. Jesus’ parables are stories-teachings that go beyond their original audience, Spirit-filled and life-saving lessons that continue to live on even to this day.
The Paring Bol-anon, in fidelity to Christ, too, are good story-tellers and proclaimers of the Good News. Like the Master, they, too, speak, sing and dance in parables by way of music that touch the hearts of its listeners, leaving a unique impression that will forever be engraved in the mind, heart and spirituality of God’s people ¾ a small seed one hopes would fall on good ground and sprout to become a giant tree where birds gleefully flock and sing for the rest of the world to see how much God loves all of His creatures!

Why this name?
Parables was a concept made realized by musical genius, Fr. Arnold Zamora, fulfilling a life-long dream of putting together the works of his brother priests from his home dioceses of Bohol (Tagbilaran and Talibon)
