Sofronio Vasquez becomes first Filipino to win 'The Voice USA'!

Filipino singer Sofronio Vasquez won this year's "The Voice USA!"

NBC's The Voice shared the awesome news on social media Wednesday (Manila time). 

Sofronio's victory makes him the first Asian and first Filipino to win the competition.

In the finals, he wowed with his performance "Unstoppable" by Sia and "A Million Dreams" from "The Greatest Showman." 

Michael Bublé served as Sofronio's coach throughout the singing contest. After his victory's announcement, the two shared The Voice stage and sang a duet of "Who's Lovin' You." 

Following his win, Sofronio immediately became a trending topic on X with 2,500 tweets. Meanwhile, "The Voice USA winner" is also among the top trending topics on Google Trends in the Philippines with more than 5,000 searches on Wednesday morning.  

Sofronio made it to the finale last week after his gorgeously controlled performance of Elvis Presley's "I Can Dream."

He previously competed in "It's Showtime" segment "Tawag ng Tanghalan," where he finished third.
