00:01One more.
00:06One more.
00:09Because the spirit of the country is more of an event.
00:12But we are also collaborating as an artist.
00:15Because Stokes is also a frontman of the Lost Trailers.
00:19We have even some that garnered ECM awards.
00:24As well as they even spot top 10 in the Billboard US.
00:29As well as top 6 in the country charts etc.
00:34We are even creating a Bisaya English song.
00:40And we are planning really or where the goal is to put Bisaya music globally.
00:47Hopefully it would reach to the level that it will be nominated or even awarded in the Grammys.
00:53And that's the level.
00:56Can I say something to the Bisaya people right now?
01:00And that is this.
01:02And I'll look into this camera but everybody.
01:06I know there is somewhere someone out there in Bisaya who has a dream.
01:13Who has something that they want to do that they feel like they may not be able to do it.
01:22I want them to know that if they look at these three gentlemen.
01:26We are.
01:28I can't believe I call myself a gentleman.
01:30But we are examples of going for it.
01:35You have to go for it.
01:38And Attorney Mack showed me something earlier.
01:40A book that he wrote.
01:42You know.
01:42Writing a book is not easy.
01:44To do that is not easy.
01:45And he just did it.
01:47Just do it.
01:48Go for it.
01:49And do not let anybody tell you that you cannot do it.
01:55And I hope that is a message that they get.
01:58That you get from this collaboration.
02:01Is that this culture has the foundation that is all that you need to achieve your dream.
02:12To create value for Bisaya.
02:16Our artists are our love for the Bisaya culture.
02:20Our love for our music.
02:22Our own music.
02:23By boundless.
02:25That's why.
02:25Because if it's boundless, it's just a book.
02:28Now we are putting this in a global stage.
02:31where even
02:34we are even in the process of creating
02:37Visaya English song
02:38na amo siyang
02:40i-submit sa Grammy
02:42that
02:44I think that's a big step back
02:46hopefully with your
02:48prayers
02:51it will have its own
02:52place, not only
02:54in the Philippines but globally
02:57even nomination
02:58or how much more
03:02more on recognition
03:04it's more of an incentive of having
03:06that one but imagine
03:08how many Visaya artists
03:10or Filipino artists will be encouraged
03:12to dream that they can
03:14confer the world stage
03:17that's
03:18our commonality
03:20and I'll tell you
03:22I have a new goal now
03:24after meeting with Mayor Nestor actually
03:26I have a new goal
03:28of this is
03:30this is separate from
03:32the concert element
03:33and we can talk about this but
03:35at some point
03:36I want to
03:37put on a fundraising effort
03:40to raise funds for the future
03:42of Visaya music
03:43because I want
03:45kids who are around here
03:47to have a place that they can go to
03:50to
03:52achieve their dreams
03:54and I want to say
03:56and I want to say to these guys
03:56what they're building

04:01their music
04:03it's not just Okaraga
04:04they

04:06where they help other artists
04:08that is so
04:11important
