After his big win at the 26th season of “The Voice US” earlier this month, Sofronio Vasquez is coming home for a show in Cebu at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
In a Facebook post, Vasquez said Aoncert tickets are now available at SM TicketNet and the lobby of Waterfront Hotel.
“PIT SENYOR!!! Kitakits mga silingan sa Sugbo,” Vasquez wrote in the caption.

“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,” he said.
“From press interviews to guestings, 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.
“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 concert, as well as a victory and a homecoming event at the same time. He teased at a recent “meet with the press” that he will arrive in the country on January 5.
“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,” he said.
“But I reckon that it is also Sinulog Festival so I tried checking my schedule to visit Senor 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,” he said.
The concert, which also coincides with the Sinulog festivities in Cebu, is presented by Paduk and Primetime Events and Talent Management.
The 32-year-old singer from Team Michael Bublé won “The Voice US” last December 11.
During the final round of “The Voice,” Vasquez performed “Unstoppable” by Sia and “A Million Dreams” from “The Greatest Showman.”
