After Sofronio Vasquez’s big win at the 26th season of The Voice USA last December, he is coming home for a show in Cebu, on January 18, in time for Sinulog Festival, at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

From Press interviews to guesting, it is [really] back-to-back engagements and to manage being busy I make sure that I am on track with the schedule and be present because it’s the only way I know that’s effective at least for me.

In an exclusive interview, Vasquez admitted that his life has drastically changed, “Winning is [really] a blessing and I am grateful that I was given the opportunity, but I cannot take the fact that it is overwhelming.”

“My life has changed a lot because people recognize you in public and so you have to [of course] thank them for the love and support but above all I remind myself to be kind as much as I could.”

The show in Cebu will serve as Vasquez’s first local public show, a victory and a homecoming event at the same. He teased at a recent “meet with the press” that he will be in the country on the fifth of January.

 

“Performing in Cebu is a surprise because coming back to the Philippines as planned is for courtesy calls and guesting and to see my Mom and my family.”

“But I reckon that it is also Sinulog Festival so I tried checking my schedule to visit Senior Sto. Niño since the miraculous child is the one I also prayed for during the competition.

With His blessing and divine intervention, a producer reached out for a potential show so I asked my US Team that handles me if I could work and they said yes.

‘So, performing to my ‘kakabayan’ is very nice because Filipino warmth will be felt [almost] by everyone.”

The self-titled show, which also coincides with the Sinulog festivities in Cebu is presented by Paduk and Primetime Events and Talent Management, in cooperation with Waterfront Cebu City Hotel.

Sponsors are Air Asia, Hotel Dulcee, Bai Yakiniku, Premier Drip, Mashop, Casino Filipino, Utol Ride and Cebu Daily News.

Isang bagong balita ang kumakalat ngayon tungkol kay Kim Chiu, ang kilalang aktres at singer, na magiging isa sa mga espesyal na bisita sa concert ni Sofronio Vasquez sa Cebu. Ayon sa mga ulat, nagkaroon ng isang maliit na kontrobersiya dahil sa “VIP privilege” na inihanda para kay Kim, kung saan binigyang-diin ang eksaktong posisyon ng kanyang upuan sa nasabing concert.

Ang concert ni Sofronio, na gaganapin sa Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino sa Enero 18, ay inaasahang magiging isa sa mga pinakahihintay na event, kasabay ng grand Sinulog Festival. Sa kabila ng mga paghahanda para sa malaking show, naging usap-usapan ang posisyon na itinalaga kay Kim Chiu sa VIP section.

Did Kim Chiu admit receiving a bike from Paulo Avelino?

Ayon sa mga source, si Kim ay nakatakdang umupo sa #1 na posisyon, isang lugar na itinuturing na pinaka-pribilehiyado at malapit sa entablado, kaya’t naging usap-usapan ito sa social media at sa mga fans ni Sofronio.

Hindi na bago ang ugnayan ng dalawang sikat na personalidad. Si Sofronio Vasquez ay madalas magpahayag ng paghanga kay Kim Chiu, at maraming fans ang nag-iisip na may espesyal na koneksyon sa pagitan nilang dalawa.

Kaya’t ng lumabas ang balitang ito tungkol sa kanyang VIP seat, naging malaking isyu ito sa mga tagahanga, lalo na’t may mga nagsasabi na tila may espesyal na atensyon si Sofronio kay Kim.

Bagamat ang balitang ito ay patuloy na pinag-uusapan, tiyak na magiging isa sa mga highlight ng concert ang presensya ni Kim Chiu sa VIP area. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa pagiging malapit sa entablado, kundi pati na rin sa masalimuot na relasyon ng mga sikat na personalidad sa industriya ng showbiz.

Ang concert ni Sofronio sa Cebu ay tiyak na magiging isang hindi malilimutang gabi para sa lahat ng mga dumalo, at ang bawat galak at drama ng event ay tiyak na magiging tampok sa mga balita.
