00:00If I remain in awe, I'd say you bring me on

00:06To the world you seek

00:09To the world I close my eyes to see

00:14I close my eyes

00:22I close my eyes

00:24I close my eyes

00:25I close my eyes

00:27A million dreams are keeping me awake

00:34I think the world, the world can be the vision of the one I see

00:41A million dreams, it's all it's gonna take

00:47A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

00:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

01:06A million dreams, oh God, what's it gonna be?

01:23Thank you, wow.

01:28You're the GOAT? Congratulations.

01:32Everything you see, I will never sing again.

01:40Promise?

01:42Never again.

01:44If I cannot learn how to sing that way, I will not sing again.

01:48I will never sing again.

01:51The vibes, the vibes.

01:55The other comment that we watched, we were singing with other people.

02:02You're on another level, you're so generous.

02:06You don't steal from anyone.

02:10You're so generous.

02:12If you need to treat, you treat.

02:15If you need to absorb, you absorb.

02:18The real sign, it's all about the music, not about you.

02:23It's not about making a fuss, it's about making the music sound good.

02:33It's a big thing for me as a dreamer and as a Filipino.

02:38You can't take away from your feelings if you're in a rush in Tagalog.

02:46You're singing in front of the President.

02:49It's a close-in because they're the ones leading.

02:54Just being with him, I know he's very busy and we squeezed our time.

03:00He's so genuine about it.

03:03I'm just so blessed.

03:04This is amazing.

03:07Sir, what was going through your mind seeing the President and the First Lady

03:11being emotional with your voice, with your performance?

03:14Maybe that's the reason why we're Filipinos.

03:17I saw in Mr. President and Madam Lisa, the vulnerability.

03:22We were overwhelmed.

03:25Because we know that the Philippines is not a big country as everyone.

03:31But we stay because we love our families.

03:35We use our heart as everything that we do.

03:39It's so good.

03:41Sir, earlier, the President emphasized you being a generous and humble man.

03:47Any thoughts on that, sir?

03:50I don't see any reason for me to be arrogant on the other side.

03:59Maybe we're arrogant because we won, but I don't think it's a good habit.

04:08I was just once a dreamer.

04:10I failed several times.

04:13But my heart is just overwhelmed.

04:16I was given a chance.

04:18I was so happy because the President noticed it.

04:23He even took time to watch my video.

04:25I was so happy.

04:27I don't know how, but I was more nervous in this battle.

04:33Sir, I understand that you mentioned earlier,

04:36but you mentioned that you chose the song, Imagine, for the President.

04:39Sir, can you elaborate on that?

04:41I have researched.

04:43Mr. President gave me time to research about his favorite songs.

04:50He said he's a slight Beatles fan.

04:52I saw his videos online.

04:55It's such a waste.

04:57I was just embarrassed that I chose the song for Mr. President.

05:03Sir, last on my part, many people are asking,

05:06what's next for Sofronio?

05:08Where can we expect you, sir?

05:10I understand you have ASAP on Sunday.

05:12Yeah, I have ASAP on Sunday.

05:14I also have a show in Cebu.

05:16That's going to be on Sinulo, January 18.

05:18As for my music career,

05:20hopefully, by this first quarter, I'll release a single.

05:24And to honor still the Filipino spirit through my music.

05:27Because we've penetrated.

05:29Why not?

05:31Let's not try to hit it.

05:33So, I'll bring OPM heart to the American music industry.

05:37It's very possible.

05:47You
