Sofronio Vasquez deserves his flowers.

Vasquez was crowned the winner of Season 26 The voice on Tuesday, December 10, making Michael Bublé the winning coach in his debut season.

Vasquez fell to his knees as he was declared the winner. Bublé also burst into tears.

“My Filipino brother, you are the hope of so many people… it has been an incredible journey to be here with you,” Bublé told Vasquez before he was announced the winner.

He beat fellow Bublé member Shye, Team Reba’s Danny Joseph, Team Snoop’s Jeremy Beloate and Team Gwen’s Sydney Sterlace.

Vasquez grew up in the Philippines and credits his father for instilling in him the love of singing. After his father’s death, he moved to the USA in 2022 to pursue music.

During his blind audition of Rose Royce’s “I’m Goin’ Down,” he managed to get four chairs and chose Bublé as his coach.

During the December 2 episode, Canadian crooner Vasquez gave encouraging feedback after his moving performance of Elvis Presley’s “If I Can Dream.”

“I think if people understood the strength that you have and the fact that despite all that adversity, you go out here on a night like this where it probably matters more than anything else in your entire career life,” said he . “You walk out here at this moment and take the brass ring and I’m just so happy for you.”

Speaking to PEOPLE on December 9, Vasquez told PEOPLE how he would celebrate his experience on the show after the finale, whether he won or lost.

“We’re just going to celebrate that it was a very, very good run The voice and we really felt like we were loved by the production and no one was superior…we were all loved. (It’s) in America’s hands for tomorrow,” he said.
