SOFRONIO Vasquez made history last week by becoming the first Filipino to win the United States edition of 'The Voice,' the most prestigious singing contest in America today.
The 32-year-old, originally from Ozamiz City and now based in Utica, New York, not only bagged a $100,000 cash prize and a record deal with Universal Music Group but also won for the Philippines the honor and recognition as a font of world-class talent.
