“I want to see local talents because I know there’s a lot of great Filipino singers,” he says.
Decades before he discovered Charice via YouTube, a Filipino talent already caught the discriminating Foster’s fancy.
“Way back in the ’70s when I was still in a band,” he recalls, “We had a Filipino singer whose name was Flip. He was great!”
His list of talented Filipino singers has since become longer,
Foster calls Lea Salonga “a wonderful singer.” Neither can he forget “the kid in Journey” (Arnel Pineda), whose success story has touched him so much Foster thinks it would make good material for a movie script.
Singers, for him, are not the only great thing about Filipino music.
