Pinoy pride broke out on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) after Sofronio Vasquez became the first singer from the Philippines—and Asia—to bag the top prize on NBC’s “The Voice.”
One of five finalists in Season 26 of the popular US singing competition, Vasquez sank to his knees and fought back tears when his name was announced as the winner.
He bested singers Shye, Jeremy Beloate, Sydney Sterlace and Danny Joseph after garnering the majority of America’s votes.
