00:28Why did you even guess that?

00:30You don't need me here.

00:31Listen.

00:32One day, you had to be a winner.

00:33And then you proceed if you win.

00:35And then if you win, you go to the next day.

00:37So it was tough.

00:39And you did greatest love of all.

00:41And then you came back to the Philippines.

00:43And that's when I knew this is what I want to do.

00:45I want to follow my father's footsteps.

00:46So I told my dad and my mom,

00:48Please, take me to the Philippines

00:50so I can live my dream.

00:53And that's what I've been doing for 40 years.

00:55Before that, Martin's father, Tito Bert Rivera,

00:57used to sing with the Society of Seven

00:59at the Outrigger Hotel.

01:01Okay.

01:09For fun.

01:10Do you remember the kind of songs

01:11that your dad and the band and you would do?

01:18when I became a singer,

01:19I actually joined them in Las Vegas.

01:21I became one of the members.

01:23It was like a dream come true,

01:24watching them as a child.

01:26You joined them.

01:27I joined them.

01:28Even in my dreams,

01:29I was dreaming to be one of the members

01:31of the Society of Seven.
