Marcos expressed pride in Sofronio, saying, 'Dito parang kaunti na lang gawin naming national holiday 'yung pagkapanalo mo eh... Happy ang lahat ng Pinoy...

'Hindi matatanggal sa feeling mo 'yung pagkagalak ba in Tagalog na kumakanta ka sa harap ng Presidente, kumbaga close in, kasi siyempre sila 'yung namumuno eh. Just being with him na alam kong napakabusy and nagsqueeze kami ng oras and he is so genuine about it,' Sofronio said. Sofronio made history as the first Asian and first Filipino to win 'The Voice USA.' He was part of Team Michael Buble. In the finals, Sofronio delivered two stunning performances, captivating the audience with his rendition of 'Unstoppable' by Sia and 'A Million Dreams' from 'The Greatest Showman.
