“Fashion really goes great with music. This is the natural way to go kasi it’s (fashion) an extension of the art form. Even in the States, that’s what they do—P. Diddy has his clothing line and so does Jay-Z. The name of the brand, Three Stars and a Sun, came from my song “Maynila,” which I wrote in 1990.”

“This clothing line is one way of achieving my goal to Filipinize the world. Ang Pilipinas kasi, known tayo for negative things, pero they forget na lahat ng bansa may ganun din. The Filipinos in my mind are the citizens of the whole world. Sino ang caregivers and nurses? We are the healers of the world.”

“Everything starts with a dream. Dreams are tangible realities that are waiting to happen so you can grasp it and you can touch it. This was one of my dreams and I made it happen—with my creative guy and my other business partners,
of course.”
