00:30Nakikinig po sa DZEW. Welcome to the program.
00:35Let's start the show with for today's talk.
00:38Nagsampan ang kasong cyber libel si Vic Soto laban sa direkto na si Daryl Yap
00:44kaugnay sa trailer ng kanyang pelikulang The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.
00:49Naghahin ang reklamo si Vic kaninang umaga sa Muntinglupa Regional Trial Court
00:53kasama si Pauline Luna.
00:55In that controversial trailer,
00:57direkta ang binanggit ang pangalan ni Vic Soto na siyang gumahasa di umano
01:01sa late actress na si Pepsi Paloma.
01:04Tinawag ng abogado ni Vic na si Atty. Buco de la Cruz
01:08na malisyoso at nakakapanirang-pure ang trailer
01:11at ang iba pang online posts ni Daryl kaugnay sa pelikula.
01:16According to Atty. Buco, may mga natanggap na umanong physical threat si Pauline
01:21at ang anak nila ni Vic mula nang lumabasa ang trailer.
01:24He also claims that it caused Vic to suffer mental anguish and serious anxiety.
01:32We have a copy here.
01:34Ito poy isang kopya ng affidavit ni Vic kung saan dinetalya niya
01:38ang lahat ng posts ni Daryl at ng kanyang production company na Vin Sentiments
01:43since December last year when Daryl confirmed na lalabas ang TVJ sa pelikula.
01:50Inapprobahan din ng korte ang Javias Data Petition ni Vic
01:54na naguutos kay Daryl at sa Vin Sentiments
01:57na itigil muna ang pagpo-post ng kahit na anong content
02:00na may kinalaman sa pelikula that will mention Vic's name.
02:05Hiniling din nila sa korte ang agarang pagtakedown ng trailer.
02:08We reached out to Daryl, pero hindi pa siya sumasagot sa aming team dito sa Fast Talk.
02:15Pero sa kanyang mga unang statements,
02:17and his posts ngayon lamang hapon,
02:19ginaite Daryl na base sa katotohanan ng kanyang pelikula,
02:23nagpost din siya nitong linggo ng litrato kasama ang ina at kapatid ni Pepsi Paloma.
02:30He also mentioned about the rape case na sinampanoon ni Pepsi laban kay Vic
02:35na dinismiss ng korte.
02:38Samantala nakalabas na po si Peaches, si Rufa May Quinto
02:41mula sa tanggapan ng National Bureau of Investigation
02:44sa Pasay kanina matapos magbayad po ng piyansa para sa kasong paglabag
02:48sa Securities Regulation Code.
02:51She spent the night sa NBI dahil inabutan na sila ng cutoff kahapon.
02:55Sumamaan kanyang pakiramdam kahapon at tumaas ang kanyang BP.
02:59But she's alright. I spoke to the lawyer.
03:01I was trying to call Peachy ngayon. She is okay.
03:04At abangan niyo po dahil ang kanyang unang interview,
03:09hopefully ay magagana po dito sa Fast Talk.
03:12Maraming maraming salamat.
03:14At ang ngayong hapon is very very special.
03:17Dahil we have a world class Filipino artist.
03:24He made us proud. He made every Filipino proud.
03:28He's the only Filipino and the only Asian to win The Voice USA.
03:36Naitay Kapuso, please welcome Sofronio Vasquez!
03:42Woo!
03:45Maraming maraming maraming salamat.
03:47Thank you. Welcome to the program.
03:49I am so happy to be here. Minamanifest ko lang ito.
03:53Ngayon nandito na ako.
03:55Talagang the power of manifestation.
03:57Itong look, itong sombrero, itong hat, whose idea is this?
04:01It's the wardrobes.
04:03Love the package.
04:04Thank you, thank you.
04:05Ang daming nakakaalala, di ba?
04:06Salamat po, yes.
04:07Sadya nila? As part of the brand? Personality?
04:10I just want to say, ito kasing buho ko is manipis.
04:14So they just want to keep the brand na hinahide mo yung kakulangan mo,
04:20but make it more beautiful.
04:22That's right.
04:23Medyo nakikialam ang buho.
04:26Buti ka ikaw, may buho kami, wala.
04:29I was not conscious of it.
04:31Maraming maraming maraming salamat.
04:34Take me back. Ito'y mabilisan lamang.
04:36Take me back to the blinds.
04:38Yung blind auditions po, dahil hindi ko malilimutan,
04:41dahil napanood ko yung buong episode na yun.
04:43When you were walking from the wings to the center stage,
04:46yung naglalakad ka, ano yung naglalaro sa iyong isipan?
04:49Akala ko talaga, Tuto Boy, parang panaginip lang.
04:51Kasi nung nagrehearse ako for that day, at tinawag ako to be on that taping,
04:56I was so ready.
04:57Sabi ko, ready ako, I am so prepared.
05:00Nung nagbukas na yung 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, pumasok ko autopilot na dito, Boy.
05:06Make or break na ito, parang lumilitaw ka.
05:08Totoo pala yung moment na ganun.
05:10Pero bago ka pumasok doon, and kilala mo yung mga judges,
05:13meron ka na halimbawa lamang ako'y napili.
05:16Halimbawa, umikot sila lahat.
05:18Ang pipiliin ko ay C.
05:20Meron kang ganun?
05:21Meron po akong ganun.
05:22Sino?
05:23It is supposed to be Snoop Dogg or Gwen.
05:27Talaga?
05:28Yes.
05:29Bakit Snoop Dogg? Bakit Gwen?
05:31Bakit eventually ang napili mo si Michael Goble?
05:36Likas po sa ating mga Pilipinos, Tito Boy, na talagang pagsumasali tayo,
05:40we are so prepared, inaaral po natin.
05:42Just like you, mahilig po kayo mag-aaral.
05:44So when I was trying to be on that show, inaaral ko,
05:47nung nalaman ko sila yung coach, inaaral ko kung ano yung magiging strategy ko
05:52to move further the competition with a high hope.
05:56So iniisip ko kapag pumunta ako kay Snoop Dogg at Filipino ako,
06:00maninibago siya because he is a black,
06:03so maninibago sa kanyang tunog yung Filipino that could do a little bit of soul and pop.
06:12So yun ang nasa uta ko, Tito Boy.
06:14But after nag-pitch sila, iba yung ginawa ni Michael.
06:17Si Gwen. Alala ko.
06:18Kasi sabi nung Snoop Dogg, I own a recording company.
06:21You know, I'm gonna make you a big star.
06:23Sabi ni Gwen, I'm gonna find your brand.
06:25Sabi ni Reba, I don't know if you understand me because I'm from Oklahoma.
06:30But, you know, your soulfulness, she used that word, just touched me.
06:35Samantala, si Bublay started to talk about Pilipinas, ang kanyang pitch.
06:41So si Gwen, hindi mo rin siya napili na.
06:44What happened when you finally chose Bublay?
06:47Bublay, I think, is a risk for me.
06:51Kasi, kumbaga, idol ko kasi sa scenes natin, Tito Boy,
06:55and I'm always intimidated by people na sobrang nilulook up ko.
06:58So, by strategy, kapag kausap ko siya on the way,
07:01tapos feeling na hindi ako focus,
07:03baka yun yung rason kung bakit hindi ako mamove further.
07:06Kasi isipin niya na hindi ako nag-focus.
07:09Okay.
07:10Ang akala ko naman, one of the considerations,
07:12sabi ko, ay, gutom kasi si Bublay.
07:14Dahil wala pa siyang nananalo.
07:15Oo.
07:16It could be one of the reasons siguro,
07:18dahil kumbaga, bakit ganun yung persistence niya na dapat ako yung piliin mo.
07:23Pero, it was just cut on TV.
07:25Grabe yung pagmamahal niya sa Pilipinas.
07:27Ang ibabaw talaga yung pagmamahal ni Bublay sa Pilipinas.
07:29Michael Bublay, if you're watching, because he does watch Philippine television.
07:32Oh yeah, he watches this one.
07:33I will send the link.
07:34Thank you for your love of the country.
07:36Ito'y fast forward lamang ako.
07:38Before the finals, may mga kwento na gustong ilipad ni Snoop Dogg
07:43ang mommy mo from the Philippines to the United States.
07:46Yes.
07:47What is the story?
07:48So, si Michael Bublay and coach Snoop Dogg, si Uncle Snoop, became so close.
07:55They know each other in the business.
07:57Pero, hindi sila sobrang close.
08:00During the course of the show, sobrang nagkaroon sila yung bond.
08:06Nagging magkaibigan.
08:07Nagging magkaibigan.
08:08Ang isang naging topic dun is my story.
08:10So, meron pang mga ibang podcast na napagusapan nila yung humble beginnings ko
08:14na sobrang isang kwarto lang sa Pilipinas na mahirap and then nangarap.
08:19So, they became so into the story na na-open up ni Snoop Dogg kay Michael Bublay.
08:26Why not fly mom to America?
08:30So, the team of Snoop Dogg reached out to me kasi most of the team na kasama ni Snoop Dogg
08:36are Filipinos din.
08:39So, yung mga PA niya, yung wardog niya.
08:41Mga Pinoy.
08:42Filipinos mostly.
08:43At sinasabi niya sa akin na meron siyang barkada na yung family name ay Vasquez
08:48but Mexican.
08:49So, kumbaga kahit hindi niya ako nakuha because according din sa mga sabi-sabi,
08:55he is trying to steal me for the team.
08:58Kaso hindi nga binibigay ni Michael Bublay.
09:00Pero obvious naman eh.
09:02I'm gonna make a star.
09:04You know what happened?
09:05I own today the recording company.
09:07Nakita namin yun.
09:08Pero doon, of course, mom decided not to fly.
09:13Because she wanted you to concentrate on the competition.
09:16And I am so happy at blessed ako na ganoon yung perspective ni Mama.
09:20Because we all have the dream.
09:21And of course, yung mga nanay natin dito, boy.
09:24Ako, specifically, gusto ko talagang andon siya.
09:27Pero hindi ko nakita yung perspective niya na ganoon.
09:29Kasi, kumbaga, if we have our moms beside us, mas maging sikasuhin mo.
09:34And thankful ako na ganoon yung concept.
09:36Naalala ko yung interview mo kasama si Jeffrey Hudson.
09:39When you were being coached by Jeffrey Hudson and of course Michael Bublay,
09:43binato ka niya ng sapatos dahil sa sobrang galimo.
09:46But that's not even my question.
09:50Doon sa pag-uusap na yun, you started to talk about your father.
09:53Yes.
09:54Na wala na ang dad.
09:572018, right?
09:582018.
09:59At sana, diba?
10:00Ikunento mo, he used to say, ano yung palating siya na sabi ng tatay?
10:06Sing your heart out.
10:07Diba?
10:08Sing your heart out.
10:10Kahit wala na ako.
10:11Kasi, yung time na lumalaban ako sa competition na sa Manila,
10:15ando na siya sa end part ng pakikipaglaban niya sa kidney failure.
10:20So, he just told me na whether, oh, this is hard.
10:25Kung wala na siya, just know that I'll be there.
10:30Kahit saan.
10:31And I felt that.
10:33You did.
10:34Can you do me just a few lines?
10:36Yeah.
10:37Dance with my father.
10:38Wow.
10:39So, this is for my mama.
10:42If I could get one final chance, one final step, one final dance with him,
10:55I'll play the song that I would never, ever read.
10:59How I love, love, love to dance with my father again.
11:12Ako naman ang nauunang umiyak.
11:14But I want to go back to the original song.
11:16Paano mo pinili yung Mary J. Blige, I'm Going Down, diba?
11:22Yeah.
11:23You sang it differently.
11:25You owned the song.
11:26Just a few lines.
11:27Time on my hands since you've been away, baby.
11:33I ain't got no plans.
11:35No, no, no, no.
11:38By that time, nakater na yung apat.
11:40Tapos na sila.
11:41Umpisa balawang po ang ating kwentuhan.
11:44But right now, let's do fast talk.
11:49We'll do fast talk.
11:51Ang kauna-unahang asyano po.
11:53I know there's a Jamaican Asian girl.
11:56But he's the first Filipino and first Asian to win The Voice USA.
12:01Sofronio.
12:02Sofronio o soprano?
12:04Sofronio.
12:05The voice, the face?

12:07Talent, charisma?
12:08Charisma.
12:09Birit, kulot?
12:10Birit.
12:11Bosesan, titigan?
12:12Titigan.
12:13Vocal power, power of love?
12:15Vocal power.
12:16Mas mataas, boses mo, pangarap mo?
12:18Pangarap ko.
12:19Mas malakas, dating mo, kaba mo?
12:21Kaba ko.
12:23Mas magaling, Pinoy o Amerikano?
12:25Pinoy.
12:26Mas nakakakaba, the voice or fast talk?
12:28Fast talk.
12:31If you wanna dance with somebody, sino?
12:34My mom.
12:35If you wanna sing for someone, sino?
12:37Mama.
12:38Dream mong makaduit?
12:39Michael Bubley.
12:40Your celebrity crush?
12:42Wow.
12:44Christine Hermosa?
12:45Yeah.
12:47Okay, we'll talk about that later.
12:49Your vocal edge?
12:51Heart.
12:52Love or career?
12:54Love.
12:55Single, taken?
12:57I like the smile.
12:59Lights on or lights off?
13:00Lights off.
13:01Happiness or chocolates?
13:03Chocolates are my happiness so we can do both.
13:05Alright, best time for chocolates and happiness?
13:07Every time.
13:08Song of your life?
13:10A Million Dreams.
13:11Few lines.
13:13Cause every night I lie in bed
13:16The brightest colors fill my head
13:19A million dreams are keeping me awake
13:24I think of what the world could be
13:27A vision of the one I see
13:30A million dreams is all it's gonna take
13:35A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
13:40A lot of Filipinos voted for Sofronio.
13:43But let's talk about this.
13:45Why do you think a lot of Americans voted for you?
13:49You won a hundred thousand US dollars.
13:52What's next in terms of career?
13:54Let's talk more about Bubley.
13:56Is he going to be involved in your career?
13:58Is Noog Dogg going to be involved in your career?
14:00Sofronio will answer all of these questions
14:04when we return with Fast Talk with Roy Abusa.
14:09Fast Talk with Roy Abusa
14:15Back on the show with Sofronio Vasquez.
14:19Sofronio, do you have a nickname?
14:21Just Sofronio.
14:23That's nice, Sofronio.
14:24I remember Snoop Dogg.
14:26Sofronio!
14:28It's funny.
14:29A lot of Filipinos voted for you.
14:31I heard stories about how Filipinos in America organize to support you.
14:37But I want to know,
14:39do you have an idea why Filipinos support you?
14:43You know, Tito Boy,
14:45I just want to take the opportunity to thank my hometown in America,
14:49which is Utica, Upstate New York.
14:51It's one of the reasons why I was loved by mostly Americans
14:57because mostly Americans voted for me.
15:00Because Upstate New York showed
15:03Central New York how much they appreciate immigrants and refugees.
15:07Because that place where I live is the melting pot.
15:11And they really understand the value of the dreams
15:15of immigrants and refugees.
15:18And I'm so blessed.
15:19I think that resonated all over America.
15:22Because every day, every round, Tito Boy, they do.
15:26Even our mayor, shout out to Mayor Mike Malimi.
15:32Even at Cisno,
15:35they really love and support me.
15:38So the network of invitation to vote really expanded.
15:43Because aside from being great,
15:44the network is really important.
15:47But thank you.
15:48Thank you so much.
15:49Thank you for all the support that you gave Sofronio during the contest.
15:54$100,000.
15:57Congratulations.
15:58Do you have plans?
15:59How are you going to manage the money?
16:02What's going to happen in five years?
16:05Are you going to be managed by Buble?
16:07You have a universal contract.
16:09I have a universal contract.
16:10Will Snoop Dogg be involved?
16:12What is the story?
16:13So the initial conversations, Tito Boy,
16:16is to fulfill the win,
16:19which is part of my victory,
16:21UMG, Universal Music Group,
16:24and with Republic Records.
16:26Hopefully, we can record a good album.
16:28And then to release it.
16:29And all of it, Tito Boy,
16:32the decision-making also,
16:34part of it is Michael Buble.
16:36Because he promised me that he will not stop helping me
16:40not until I reach a billion.
16:43That's great.
16:44That's great, Michael Buble.
16:46What Sofronio is saying is huge.
16:48And other people have told me this story.
16:50That Michael Buble has a huge debt to the Philippines.
16:54Because this is where he first saw
16:56the true love of the Filipinos for him.
17:01Because I saw when you said Philippines,
17:03the face of Michael Buble.
17:05But let's talk about Christine Hermosa
17:07before I forget.
17:10Did your crush on Christine have anything to do with Michael Buble?
17:15I hope you're not watching.
17:19This is the last one.
17:21Okay.
17:22He told me that they had a conversation.
17:26They really had a link with our goddess, Christine Hermosa.
17:31One of the most beautiful Filipinas.
17:34And he is so proud of it.
17:37He admired how beautiful.
17:42And then the soul, the heart.
17:44Maybe that's why he fell in love with the Filipinos.
17:46Because he didn't succeed.
17:48He had something to do with it.
17:50He was frustrated.
17:54Of course, Michael Buble is a good friend
17:56of our good friend, Martin Rivera.
17:58Yes, yes.
17:59The whole world knows that.
18:00He often talks about Sir Martin.
18:02Really?
18:03Are you aware of the Indonesian controversy?
18:06I'm surprised because I became Indonesian.
18:09But I'm super blessed and grateful
18:11that whether I am from Indonesia,
18:14it is a representation of being an Asian.
18:18They fought for me.
18:20That's right.
18:21They fought for what I really think of them.
18:27We did it.
18:28Your finale song was unstoppable.
18:30But before we do that,
18:33I'm going down a million dreams.
18:36Feeling Good.
18:39Feeling Good has been my casting song, Tito Boy.
18:42It was?
18:43It was my casting song.
18:44Okay.
18:45What does casting song mean?
18:46Before you joined the Blind Audition,
18:49we have six months of casting.
18:51Every almost month, you sing
18:53to reach the possibility to sing on stage.
18:56For the Blind Audition.
18:57That's crazy.
18:58It's been six months
18:59before the entablado came.
19:01A few lines.
19:04Birds flying high
19:07You know how I feel
19:10Sun in the sky
19:13You know how I feel
19:16Breeze drifting on by
19:20You know how I feel
19:23It's a new dawn
19:24It's a new day
19:26It's a new life for me
19:30And I'm feeling good
19:38The power of love.
19:40The power of love.
19:42How big is your belief in love?
19:45Tito Boy, this is what drives me.
19:47I always get emotional when I talk about love.
19:50Because when I see Michael Buble,
19:53I feel how much he loves his family.
19:56And the love that Filipinos have for me,
19:59the love that my mom has for me,
20:00the love that my family has for me.
20:02I'll be forever grateful that our hearts,
20:05when I see him, I get emotional.
20:07Because without his help,
20:09I can't reach him.
20:11I always text him last night,
20:12I texted him that I was able to meet the president
20:15because of your recognition.
20:17And he was like,
20:18this is not me mentoring you.
20:21You are just blessed with the beautiful heart of a Filipino.
20:24And I told him,
20:25we are proud of that kind of hope.
20:27And he told me,
20:28I will be the fifth kid.
20:31I will be the fifth kid.
20:34Power of love.
20:36Because I'm your lady
20:39And you are my man
20:43Whenever you reach for me
20:47I'm gonna do all that I can
20:52We're heading for something
20:56Somewhere I've never been
20:59Sometimes I am frightened
21:03But I'm ready to learn
21:06I've got a power of love
21:25I'm unstoppable
21:27I'm a pusher with no brakes
21:30I'm invincible
21:32And I will never single game
21:35I'm so powerful
21:37I don't need batteries to play
21:40I'm so confident
21:42I'm unstoppable today
21:49Complete the sentence.
21:50Last question.
21:52I am Sofronio Vasquez and
21:56I am Sofronio Vasquez
21:58and I'm proud to be the first Filipino voice winner.
22:04Maraming maraming salamat Sofronio.
22:06God bless you.
22:07God bless you.
22:08And thank you.
22:09Thank you for making us all proud.
22:12Maraming salamat.
22:13Naytay kapuso, maraming salamat po
22:15sa inyong pagpapatuloy sa amin
22:16sa inyong mga tahanan araw-araw.
22:18Be kind, make your nana proud
22:20and say thank you.
22:21And do one good thing a day
22:23and make this world a better place.
22:24Goodbye for now and God bless.
