00:00 The first time I heard it, I was like, "Wow, that sounds heavenly. That sounds really nice."
00:03 It was like serendipity.
00:08 Francis Guevara has some files of music that he made, some snippets of bits of melody,
00:25 keyboard riffs, because he was a keyboardist at that time. He let me listen to that riff.
00:29 I was like, "Wow, that sounds heavenly. That sounds really nice."
00:38 It was like serendipity. I just thought, "Off the line, you are perfect."
00:48 And I sang on top of that. While he was playing that file, I said, "You are perfect."
00:56 When "Perfect" became a hit on radio, I transferred from the main campus of La Salle to
01:07 Binild. When people in Binild learned that it was me who sang "Perfect," which is already a big hit
01:14 R&B, and everyone was listening to 99.5 R&B at that time. When "Perfect" came out, the DJs didn't
01:20 tell the people that it was a local band. Everybody was thinking that this was a foreign
01:26 band. It sounded foreign, sounded new. People were debating whether it was local or it was
01:34 foreign band. I remember I was dating somebody, and it was on the radio, and she was listening
01:39 to it. I told her, "That's a local band." She says, "No, that's not a local band. That's a
01:45 foreign band." I told her, "That's a local band. My brother is singing." She insisted. She kept on
01:50 insisting. I kept telling her, "That's my brother singing." I can't remember how the argument ended.
01:56 But yeah, eventually she found out that it was my brother singing. Not only was it huge in La
02:01 Salle, it was huge everywhere. We got invited to different schools. When people learned that
02:06 it was me who sang it, everyone was calling me Mr. Perfect. Tita Dua was one of the supermodels
02:18 of the Philippine fashion industry. It was such a big honor that she came on board, and she did
02:23 for free. She was very popular at that time because she was on the TV sitcom, "Ogey Ka Ferry Ko."
02:29 Such a huge honor that she came and said, "I'm waiving my talent to you for this because it's
02:34 going to be huge. It's going to be a nice project. Watch it on YouTube." It's still a good-looking video.
02:38 It's because of their support. It's because of your support that we're still here.
02:48 And it's because of you playing our music in your cars, in your houses, that the younger
02:54 generation are also aware of us. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the support that the fans
02:59 have given us. And those who are casual fans, thank you. We're living our passion because of you guys.
03:06 Thank you, and we'll do our part as well.
