“Ang mga Pilipino sobrang talented po niyan sa lahat ng larangan. Magaling kumanta, magaling sumayaw, umakting. ‘Yun po ‘yung maipapakita naming sa ibang bansa. Iyung ginagawa po naming ngayon, ito po ‘yung first time na makikita namin at papausuhin naming sing and dance, dancing heartily and singing heartily at the same time. Kumbaga, maipapakita naming ‘yung talento ng Pilipino na all-around talaga tayo.”
