PRESS RELEASE
Fresh from making history as the first Filipino and first male Asian winner of The Voice Season 26, Sofronio Vasquez takes center stage once again—this time lending his powerful vocals to "Seas Unbroken," a new song celebrating unity across Southeast Asia.
Sofronio makes his debut performance of the song alongside the Young Voices of the Philippines (YVP), one of the scholar choirs of the Treble Choir Association of the Philippines (TCAP), which provides aspiring young performers with opportunities to develop their musical talents through rehearsals, performances, and festivals.
The collaboration brings together two generations of Filipino performers: an internationally recognized vocalist and a new generation of young choral artists,
Together, aboard the Wish 107.5 Bus, they give “Seas Unbroken” a contemporary, distinctly Filipino sound.
The result is a meeting of voices that gives the song both star power and youthful energy.
Penned by Von de Guzman, the song was created in support of the Philippines’ ASEAN Chairship in 2026.
Its lyrics draw inspiration from the seas and islands that connect Southeast Asian nations, building toward the song’s central message: “Seas unbroken, we are one.”
It carries particular resonance for the Philippines, an archipelagic nation whose identity is deeply intertwined with the sea.
Its message also reflects the shared geography, history, culture, and aspirations connecting ASEAN’s member states.
The song was unveiled as part of the Philippines’ ASEAN Chairship under the theme “Navigating Our Future, Together,” with priorities focused on peace and security, prosperity, and people empowerment.
The 2026 Chairship also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia.
But at the heart of “Seas Unbroken” is the music—and the voices bringing it to life.
With Sofronio and YVP bringing it to life, the song goes beyond its ceremonial purpose; it celebrates Filipino talent and calls on Southeast Asia to move forward together.
The Philippines formally assumed the ASEAN Chairship on January 1, 2026.
