00:00And he won over 4,000 contestants in that contest.
00:11Let's give him a round of applause.
00:14Back in the day, boy, that was big before.
00:17There were no musical reality shows where you were an idol and all of that.
00:21But that was huge.
00:22That was big before.
00:23It was four days long.
00:24I was the only Filipino singer there.
00:25I remember that story.
00:26I remember that story.
00:27How did you even guess that?
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.
01:02Your story also says that
01:04at about 14, you actually sang with the group.
01:06I did.
01:07You did?
01:08I did.
01:09For fun.
01:10Do you remember the kind of songs
01:11that your dad and the band and you would do?
01:13Well, the Society, back when I was 14,
01:15it was just for fun.
01:16Yes.
01:17But after so many years,
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.
01:33Even to this day,
01:34everyone in Hawaii wants to be a member
01:36of the Society of Seven.
01:37And I became one of them
01:39back when they were still
01:41at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.
01:44So all my dreams as a kid
01:46have been realized.
01:48Okay.
01:49And then we moved on.
01:51Be My Lady happened.
01:52Yes.
01:54And after that,
01:56we worked here at GMA7
01:58because we did Penthouse Live
02:00with Pops for an hour.
02:01Yes, we did.
02:02Thank you, Pops.
02:04Of course.
02:05Listen, listen.
02:06But you know,
02:07life changed, right?
02:08When you did television.
02:09Because, you know,
02:10a series of television shows
02:12happened in your career.
02:13Yes.
02:14All happened right here in GMA7
02:16when you didn't have 17 floors.
02:20No elevator.
02:21You remember that.
02:22You remember.
02:23Oh, yes.
02:24People used to watch Penthouse Live
02:25through the feet of other people.
02:27That's how low
02:28our studio was.
02:29Right, okay.
02:30And that's when I met Pops
02:31and we did Penthouse Live
02:32for about five or six years.
02:33Yes.
02:34And we did it right here.
02:35How was it coming home today?
02:37It was weird.
