00:00Good afternoon, Philippines, and to the entire world!
00:22Nay tai, ka puso.
00:23Pay rambunang 20 minutes ng inyong hapon!
00:24I'm Boy, and welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abuela.
00:28To all of our Facebook and YouTube followers,
00:31to all the listeners of the DZEW, welcome to the program.
00:37Let's start the show with for today's talk,
00:40the case of cyber libel,
00:43Vick Soto versus director Daryl Yap,
00:46based on the trailer of his movie,
00:48The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.
00:51Vick filed a complaint earlier this morning
00:53to the Montinglupa Regional Trial Court
00:55together with Pauline Luna.
00:57In that controversial trailer,
00:59the name of Vick Soto,
01:01who played the role of D,
01:03was directly mentioned to the late actress,
01:05Pepsi Paloma.
01:07Vick's lawyer, Atty. Buco de la Cruz,
01:10called the trailer malicious and outrageous,
01:13as well as the other online posts
01:15of Daryl in the movie.
01:18According to Atty. Buco,
01:20Pauline and Vick's daughter
01:22were accused of some physical threats
01:24since the trailer was released.
01:26He also claims that it caused Vick
01:29to suffer mental anguish
01:31and serious anxiety.
01:34We have a copy here.
01:36This is a copy of Vick's affidavit
01:39where he links all of Daryl's posts
01:42and his production company, Vin Sentiments.
01:45Since December last year,
01:47when Daryl confirmed
01:49that TVJ would appear in the movie,
01:52the court also approved
01:54Vick's Habeas Data petition
01:56ordering Daryl and Vin Sentiments
01:59to stop posting any content
02:02related to the movie
02:04that will mention Vick's name.
02:07They also asked the court
02:09to immediately take down the trailer.
02:11We reached out to Daryl,
02:13but he hasn't responded
02:15to our team here at Fast Talk.
02:17But in his first statements
02:19and his posts this afternoon,
02:21Daryl stated that based on the truth
02:24of his movie,
02:26he also posted this week
02:28a picture of his mother and brother
02:31with Pepsi Paloma.
02:33He also mentioned about the rape case
02:35that Pepsi filed against Vick
02:37that was dismissed by the court.
02:40Meanwhile, Peaches was released
02:42from the National Bureau of Investigation
02:44a few days ago.
02:46A few days ago,
02:48she was fined for violating
02:50the Securities Regulation Code.
02:52She spent the night at the NBI
02:54because they reached a cut-off yesterday.
02:56Her feelings worsened yesterday
02:58and her BP rose.
03:00But she's alright.
03:02I spoke to the lawyer.
03:04I was trying to call Peachy today.
03:06She is okay.
03:08And watch out because
03:10her first interview
03:12will be on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
03:14Thank you very much.
03:16And this afternoon is very, very special
03:19because we have
03:21a world-class Filipino artist.
03:26He made us proud.
03:28He made every Filipino proud.
03:30He's the only Filipino
03:32and the only Asian
03:34to win The Voice USA.
03:38Please welcome Sofronio Vasquez!
03:42Yay!
03:48Maraming, maraming, maraming salamat.
03:50Thank you. Welcome to the program.
03:52I am so happy to be here.
03:54Minamanifest ko lang to.
03:56Nandito na ako.
03:58Talagang the power of manifestation.
04:00Itong look, itong sombrero,
04:02itong hat, whose idea is this?
04:04It's the wardrobe's.
04:06Love the package.
04:08Ang daming nakakaalala.
04:10As part of the brand, personality?
04:12I just want to say,
04:14ito kasing buho ko is manipis.
04:16So they just want to keep the brand
04:18na kumbaga hinahide mo yung
04:20kakulangan mo
04:22but make it more beautiful.
04:24That's right.
04:26Medyo nakikialam ang buho.
04:28Butika ikaw may buho kami.
04:30Wala. Thank you.
04:32I was not conscious.
04:34Maraming, maraming salamat.
04:36Take me back. Ito'y mabilisan lamang.
04:38Take me back to the blinds.
04:40Yung blind auditions po dahil hindi ko malilimutan
04:42dahil napanood ko yung buong episode na yun.
04:44When you were walking
04:46from the wings to the center stage,
04:48yung naglalakad ka, ano yung naglalaro sa iyong isipan?
04:50Akala ko talaga, Tutu Boy,
04:52parang panaginip lang. Kasi nung nagrehearse ako
04:54for that day at tinawag ako
04:56to be on that taping,
04:58I was so ready. Sabi ko, ready ako.
05:00I am so prepared.
05:02Nung nagbukas na yung 5,
05:044, 3, 2, 1, pumasok ko autopilot
05:06nandito, Boy. Kumbaga,
05:08make or break na ito. Parang lumilitaw ka.
05:10Totoo pala yung moment na ganun.
05:12Pero bago ka pumasok doon,
05:14and kilala mo yung mga judges,
05:16meron ka na halimbawa lamang ako'y napili.
05:18Halimbawa, umikot sila lahat.
05:20Ang pipiliin ko ay C.
05:22Meron kang ganun? Meron po akong ganun.
05:24Sino?
05:26It is supposed to be Snoop Dogg or Gwen.
05:28Talaga? Yes.
05:30Bakit Snoop Dogg? Bakit Gwen?
05:32At bakit eventually
05:34ang napili mo si Michael Buble?
05:38Likas po sa ating mga Pilipinos,
05:40Tito Boy, na talagang pagsumasali tayo,
05:42we are so prepared, inaaral po natin.
05:44Just like you, mahilig po kayo mag-aaral.
05:46So, when I was trying to be on that show,
05:48inaaral ko na
05:50nung nalaman ko sila yung coach, inaaral ko
05:52kung ano yung magiging strategy ko
05:54to move further the competition
05:56with a high hope.
05:58So, iniisip ko kapag pumunta ako kay Snoop Dogg
06:00at Filipino ako,
06:02maninibago siya because
06:04he is a black.
06:06So, maninibago sa kanyang tunog
06:08yung Filipino
06:10that could do a little bit of soul
06:12and pop.
06:14So, yun ang nasa uta ko, Tito Boy.
06:16But, after nag-pitch sila,
06:18iba yung ginawa ni Michael.
06:20Si Gwen. Alala ko. Kasi sabi nung Snoop Dogg,
06:22I own a recording company.
06:24I'm gonna make you a big star.
06:26Sabi ni Gwen, I'm gonna find your brand.
06:28Sabi ni Reba, I don't know if you understand me
06:30because I'm from Oklahoma.
06:32But, you know, your soulfulness,
06:34she used that word,
06:36just touched me.
06:38Samantala, si Bublay started to talk about
06:40Pilipinas, ang kanyang pitch.
06:42So, si Gwen,
06:44hindi mo rin siya napili na.
06:46What happened when you finally chose
06:48Bublay?
06:50Bublay, I think, is a risk
06:52for me. Kasi,
06:54idol ko kasi sa scenes dati,
06:56Tito Boy, and I'm always intimidated
06:58by people na sobrang nilu-look up ko.
07:00So, by strategy, kapag kausap ko siya
07:02on the way, tapos feeling
07:04na hindi ako focus, baka yun yung
07:06rason kung bakit hindi ako mamove further.
07:08Kasi isipin niya na hindi ako nagfocus.
07:10Okay.
07:12Ang akala ko naman, one of the considerations,
07:14sabi ko, ay, gutom kasi si Bublay.
07:16Dahil wala pa siyang nananalo.
07:18It could be one of the reasons, siguro,
07:20dahil kung bakit
07:22ganun yung persistence niya na
07:24dapat ako yung piliin mo. Pero,
07:26when he was caught on TV, grabe yung pagmamahal
07:28niya sa Pilipinas. Pero, nang-ibabaw talaga yung
07:30pagmamahal ni Bublay sa Pilipinas. Michael Bublay,
07:32if you're watching, because he does watch
07:34Philippine television. Oh, yeah, he will watch this one. I will send the link.
07:36Thank you for your love of
07:38the country. Ito'y fast forward
07:40lama ako. Before the finals,
07:42may mga kwento na
07:44gustong ilipad ni Snoop Dogg ang
07:46mami mo from the Philippines
07:48to the United States. What is the story?
07:50So, si Michael Bublay
07:52and Coach Snoop Dogg,
07:54si Uncle Snoop, became
07:56so close. So, hindi sila masyadong,
07:58they know each other in the business, pero
08:00hindi sila sobrang
08:02close. And during the course of the
08:04show, sobrang nagkaroon sila
08:06yung
08:08bond. Naging magkaibigan.
08:10Ang isang naging topic doon is my story.
08:12So, meron pang mga ibang
08:14podcasts na napagusapan nila yung
08:16humble beginnings ko na sobrang isang kwarto
08:18lang sa Pilipinas na mahirap
08:20and then nangarap. So,
08:22I became so into the story
08:24na na-open up ni
08:26Snoop Dogg kay Michael Bublay.
08:28Why not fly her, fly
08:30fly mom to America?
08:32And so, I reached out to, I mean, and so
08:34the team of Snoop Dogg reached out to me
08:36kasi most of the team nakasama ni Snoop Dogg
08:38are Filipinos din.
08:40So, yung mga PA niya,
08:42yung wardog niya, Filipinos
08:44mostly. At sinasabi niya
08:46sakin na meron siyang
08:48barkada na yung family name ay Vasquez
08:50but Mexican.
08:52So, kumbaga, kahit hindi niya
08:54ako nakuha because
08:56according din sa mga sabi-sabi,
08:58he's trying to steal me for the team
09:00kaso hindi nga binibigay ni Michael Bublay.
09:02Pero obvious naman eh,
09:04kahit ang umpisa, you know, I'm gonna make a star.
09:06You know what happened? I own
09:08today the recording company. I mean, nakita namin yun.
09:10Pero doon sa,
09:12doon, of course mom
09:14decided not to fly because she wanted
09:16you to concentrate on the competition.
09:18And I am so happy
09:20at blessed ako na ganoon yung perspective ni mama
09:22because we all have the dream.
09:24And of course, yung mga nanay natin dito,
09:26ako, specifically, gusto ko talagang
09:28andon siya. Pero hindi ko nakita
09:30yung perspective niya na ganoon. Kasi, kumbaga,
09:32if we have our moms beside us,
09:34masikasuhin mo.
09:36And thankful ako na ganoon yung concept.
09:38Naalala ko yung interview mo
09:40kasama si Jeffrey Hudson. When you were being
09:42coached by Jeffrey Hudson
09:44and, of course, Michael Bublay,
09:46pato ka niya ng sapatos dahil
09:48sa sobrang galing mo. But, that's not even
09:50my, that's not even my
09:52question. Doon sa pag-uusap na yun,
09:54you started to talk about your father.
09:56Oo, na wala na
09:58ang dad. 2018, right?
10:002018. At sana,
10:02diba, ikunento mo,
10:04he used to say,
10:06ano yung palating sya na sabi ng tatay?
10:08Sing your heart out.
10:10Diba? Sing your heart out.
10:12Kahit wala na ako, kasi yung time
10:14na lumalaban ako sa competition
10:16na sa Manila,
10:18ando na sya sa end part ng
10:20pakikipaglaban yung sakid ni failure.
10:22So, he just told me na whether
10:24and, oh, ha,
10:26this is hard.
10:28Kung wala na sya,
10:30just know that I'll be there.
10:32Kahit saan.
10:34And I felt that.
10:36Umpisa balawang po ang ating kwentuhan.
10:38But right now, let's do fast talk.
10:40Oh!
10:42We'll do fast talk.

11:52I like the smile.

12:10mga Amerikano rin ang bumoto para sayo?
12:12You won a hundred thousand US dollars.
12:14What's next in terms
12:16of career? Let's talk more about Bubley.
12:18Is he going to be involved in your career?
12:20Is Noog Dogg going to be involved
12:22in your career? Lahat ang mga katanungan
12:24ito ay sasagutin po ni Sofronio
12:26sa pagbabalik ng Fast Talk.
12:28Good boy.
12:36That was the show
12:38kasama natin
12:40si Sofronio Vasquez.
12:42Sofronio, do you have a nickname?
12:44Sofronio lang po talaga.
12:46Ang ganda no? Sofronio.
12:48Naalala ko si Snoop Dogg. Sofronio!
12:50Di ba? Nakakatuwa lamang.
12:52Binoto ka ng maraming mga Pilipino.
12:54Narinig ko yung mga kwento kung paano
12:56nag-organize yung mga Pinoy
12:58sa Amerika para suportahan ka.
13:00But gusto ko malaman,
13:02meron ka bang ideya kung bakit
13:04suportahan ka rin ng todo ng mga kano.
13:06Alam mo, Tito Boy,
13:08gusto ko lang din i-take yung opportunity
13:10to thank my hometown sa Amerika
13:12which is Utica, Upstate New York.
13:14Isa siguro sa naging rason
13:16kung bakit binahal ako ng
13:18mostly Americans
13:20because mostly Americans po yung bumoto
13:22sakin. Dahil
13:24pinakita po ng Upstate New York,
13:26yung Central New York, kung gano
13:28nila ka-appreciative sa immigrants
13:30and refugees because that place na kunsan
13:32naka-tira is the melting pot.
13:34And they really understand
13:36the value of dreams
13:38na kapwa-immigrant,
13:40kapwa-refugee. And I'm so
13:42blessed. Siguro nag-resonate lang yun ang lahat
13:44all over America because
13:46every day, every round
13:48Tito Boy, they do.
13:50Even our mayor,
13:52shout out Mayor Mike Galimi,
13:54grabe siya talaga yung
13:56even at Cisno,
13:58grabe talaga as in
14:00pagmamahal na suporta.
14:02So, lumawak na lumawak yung network
14:04ng invitation to vote.
14:06Kasi maliban sa galing, importante
14:08talaga yung, sabi mo nga, yung
14:10network. But thank you. Maraming maraming
14:12salamat. Thank you for all the
14:14support that you gave Sofronia
14:16during the contest. A hundred thousand
14:18dollars.
14:20Congratulations. May mga plano na?
14:22I mean, how are you gonna
14:24manage the money? And then, ang tanong
14:26ng karamihan, what's gonna happen in five
14:28years? Are you going to be managed by Bublay?
14:30Are you going? You have a universal
14:32contract, I know. And then, will Snoop
14:34Dogg be involved? What is the
14:36story? So, yung initial
14:38conversations, Tito Boy, is
14:40to fulfill the
14:42win, which is part of yung
14:44panalo ko. UMG, Universal Music
14:46Group, and with
14:48Republic Records. Hopefully, makapag-record
14:50ng magandang album, and then
14:52to release it. And all of
14:54it, po, Tito Boy,
14:56the decision-making, also,
14:58part of it is Michael Bublay, kasi
15:00he promised me na he will not
15:02stop helping me, not until I
15:04reach a billion.
15:06Nakakatawa.
15:08Nakakatawalaga si Michael Bublay. Napakalaki
15:10ang sinasabing ni Sofronia, and other people
15:12have told me this story, na si Michael Bublay
15:14tumatanaw ng napakalaking utang na loob
15:16sa Pilipino, dahil
15:18dito daw una niyang nakita
15:20ang buong-buong pagmamahal
15:22ng Pinoy para sa
15:24sinasabing niya. Kasi nakita ko yung pagsabi mo
15:26Philippines, diba? Yung mukha ni Michael
15:28Bublay. But let's talk about Christine Hermosa
15:30bago ko makalimutan.
15:32May kinalaman ba
15:34ang pagiging crush mo kay Christine?
15:36Si Michael Bublay?
15:38I hope you're not watching.
15:42No, ito na may nakaraan na.
15:44Okay, nakuwento niya sa akin
15:46na nagkaroon sila
15:48ng conversation at
15:50talagang nagkaroon sila ng link
15:52with our gyoza, Christine Hermosa.
15:54One of the most beautiful Filipinas.
15:56And he is so
15:58proud of it, na
16:00kumbaga, na-admire
16:02niya how beautiful
16:04the soul,
16:06the heart. Kaya siguro talagang
16:08napamahal siya sa Pinoy ko, kasi hindi siya
16:10nagtagumpay. Kumbaga, meron siya
16:12ganun. Meron siya ganun, diba?
16:14May frustration siya doon.
16:16Of course, Michael Bublay
16:18is a good friend of our good friend
16:20Martin Rivera. Yes, yes.
16:22Alam naman ng buong mundo yun. Madalas niyang pinag-usapan
16:24si Sir Martin. Talaga?
16:26Are you aware of the Indonesian
16:28controversy? Nagugulat
16:30nga po ako tito boy, kasi bigla ako
16:32naging Indonesian. But I'm super blessed and grateful
16:34na kumbaga, whether
16:36I am from Indonesia, it is
16:38a representation of being
16:40an Asian. Nailaban nila
16:42ako. Kumbaga, tama.
16:44They fought for what they really think
16:46na sa kanila.
16:50Nagawa na natin. Your finale
16:52song was unstoppable, but before we
16:54do that,
16:56you did, I'm going down a million dreams,
16:58Feeling Good
17:00nga. Oh!
17:02Feeling Good has been my
17:04casting song, tito boy. Ah, it was?
17:06It was my casting song. Okay.
17:08Ang ibig sabihin ng casting song ay? So, bago
17:10ka sumalang sa blind audition,
17:12we have six months of casting
17:14every almost month, kumakantakan
17:16to reach the possibility
17:18to sing on stage.
17:20For blind audition. Grabe. So, medyo magkatakan.
17:22Aning na buwan po yan, bago parating yung entablado.
17:24The power of love.
17:26Gaano kalakian mo yung paniniwala sa love?
17:28Tito boy, eto talaga yung
17:30nagde-drive sakin eh.
17:32I always get emotional when I talk
17:34about love, kasi when I
17:36see Michael Buble, naramdaman ko
17:38kung paano siya nagmahal sa family niya.
17:40And yung pagmamahal ng
17:42Filipinos sakin, yung pagmamahal ng
17:44mama ko, yung pagmamahal ng family ko,
17:46I'll be forever grateful na yung
17:48puso natin. Pag nakikita ko siya,
17:50nai-emotion na ako. Kasi
17:52without his help, hindi
17:54ko makaputo. I always text him
17:56last night, I text him na I was able
17:58to meet the president
18:00because of your recognition. And he was like,
18:02this is not me
18:04mentoring you. You are just
18:06blessed with a beautiful heart of a Filipino.
18:08And I told him, we are proud
18:10na ganyang kaasadad. And he told me,
18:12I will be
18:14the fifth kid.
18:16Ako yung panglimang anak. So, thank you.
18:18Ngayong garating na linggo po,
18:20ay mapapanood niya si Sofronio
18:22sa All Out Sundays.
18:24Abangan niyo po yan.
18:26Complete the sentence.
18:28Last question. Ako po,
