00:00Welcome to the program! How is Manila traffic? Terrible! Honestly, it's better than we remembered it, with the Skyway and all the events.
00:15So this one is better? This one is better? Yeah, it's not bad at all.
00:18Okay, does it remind you of the, how do you call that, the traffic thing in LA?
00:25Gridlock! Yeah, that's just every day in LA, yeah.
00:30You know, it's just every day. At least I'll get used to it, but you made it, because it was meant to happen.
00:36Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you for having us.
00:39And you're back here in the Philippines, because you are doing a show.
00:42We are, we're doing two shows in fact, this Friday and Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
00:47Two concerts, two nights in a row. So, super excited.
00:50That's May 30 and 31 MOA, MOA, the Mall of Asia.
00:53There it is.
00:5498 degrees.
00:55There it is.
00:56Please introduce, you're Nick.
00:57I'm Nick.
00:58You're Justin.
00:59Yes.
01:00Of course.
01:01I'm Drew.
01:02You're Drew. You're brothers, right, Nick? And of course, James.
01:04Unfortunately, yes.
01:05You're welcome. You're welcome.
01:07Okay. What can we expect from this show?
01:10Well, it's going to be a lot of fun. I mean, we are so excited to finally get back here to Manila.
01:15And we got some surprises along the way. We're going to obviously do our hits. We've got some...
01:20You have to do your hits.
01:21We're going to do, we have a collaboration with Janine Tenyoso. So we're looking forward to being with her.
01:25Janine, and there's another girl.
01:27Katrina Velarde.
01:28Katrina, yes. She's amazing. I mean, both of them are incredible singers.
01:30Two great talents. Incredible talents.
01:32Very fortunate to share the stage with them.
01:34Wow. Okay. Looking forward to this concert. And why are you so loved by your Filipino fans?
01:41I'd like to pick your brains.
01:42That's a good one.
01:43Why are you so loved?
01:44We're trying to find that out.
01:45We're trying to find that out.
01:46Thank God we are.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Of course, thank God. But you have an idea as to why?
01:50Well, I think more than anywhere else in the world, people here really truly love love songs, right?
01:54That's right.
01:55And ballads. And that's kind of what we've always been known for. It's our bread and butter.
01:58So I think it's just, it's a match made in heaven. You know, we sing love songs and everyone here really seems to appreciate and enjoy those love songs.
02:07Like 50% of weddings I attend, I hear, I do.
02:12Yes. We love it.
02:14It's a great honor.
02:15Let's make it 60%.
02:16We can go a bit 80, I think, this day. 80%. But you're one of the most beloved groups by this country. Really. And this comes from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your songs. Thank you for your music. Thank you for music.
02:32Well, thank you.
02:33No, I appreciate it. I feel like that's another thing. Like, the music is such a culture of the Filipino. It's such an ingrained part of the culture that, you know, for us, we got off the planes here in 1997 and we were instantly like, felt like we were rock stars and embraced. So it really is a great relationship.
02:49This is our first time, you know, you're visiting this network. You've been here some time ago. I'd like to show you this. Do we have the clip?
02:56Oh, boy.
02:57I'd like to show you this clip.
02:58Yeah, we, I remember the clip.
02:59Can we show that one?
03:00Yeah.
03:01There.
03:02That's a show called SOP and you also had a guesting on Master Showman.
03:08Yes.
03:09Way back, wow, 1999.
03:13Man.
03:14Do you remember? I mean, what do you remember?
03:16Yes.
03:17I wouldn't blame you guys if you don't remember anything.
03:19We actually were talking about visiting this station with Master Showman and that was one of the first big shows we did.
03:24It was like big talk show, television show.
03:27We remember the whole building and everything leading up to it.
03:30We remember the shows SOP, ASAP.
03:33Okay.
03:34We've done all these different shows here and we remember them distinctly, like we said, because this was the first country we became very, very popular.
03:42We had a popular song out in the US, but our label wasn't really marketing us at the time.
03:47Our label was in flux, so we actually broke here first and then took the momentum from what we did here and the fans here back to the States.
03:55They gave us another shot in the US.
03:58I heard about that.
03:59I heard about.
04:00Fascinating.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Fascinating story.
04:17Things these are perfect for you.
