Kasama natin ngayon, the one and only Miss Andrea del Rosario!

Hello!

Hi Andrea!

I'm so happy to be here.

Naninibago kami kasi syempre in the early 2000s, sanay kami, sexy outfits.

Talaga mga revealing pero ngayon parang talaga...

Sexy pa naman ako.

Kagalang-galang na, oo.

Because you were a former vice mayor.

I was, yes.

It was a big transition na for me.

It felt like it was the right time, the perfect time to try.

To give service.

Yes, to give service.

Sa mga constituent.

Kasi you became the former vice mayor sa...

Calatagan.

Calatagan, yes, yes.

Ano yung difference ng fulfillment being in showbiz

and yung fulfillment ng being a public servant for you?

Syempre, my first love will always be show business.

You know, that's where I grew up.

That's, you know, more than half of my lifetime is talagang was spent in that industry.

So, it will always be, you know.

First love.

First love, eh.

But I'm happy naman that I was able to try a different field, no?

But ano siya, eh.

So much commitment.

Feeling ko it's really a calling.

Yung mga pumapasok sa public service.

I have so much respect, especially after I experienced it.

I'm like, wow, guys.

Calling siya talaga.

You have to have the heart for public service.

Half of your life, you were in show business.

So, you started in show business.

I think I was 14.

When I auditioned for Dutch Entertainment.

Na hindi ako natanggap.

Hindi ako natanggap.

And then after that, I landed a gig sa Channel 9.

I did a show called Lili Tubig.

And then, nag-sign up ako with ABS-CBN.

Sa Star Magic.

So, kakabatch ko si Napiolo.

Ah, kayo mo kakabatch?

Yes. Batch 3.

Carlos Agassi.

Paulo Contis.

Kay Abad.

Oh my!

Pero hindi pa sexy yung imaging mo noon?

Ah, hindi. Sexy na ako noon.

Kasi yung first show ko, paliba sa lalaki.

Anong pangalan ko sexy?

Hindi ka!

Ah, ni-launch ka na talaga kagad as sexy?

Noong ni-launch ako.

Pagsinin ka na talaga na maganda ang hubog ng katawan.

Pero nag-mis-earth ka noong 2001.

Mis-earth Philippines.

Yeah, I just tried it.

Sabi na hindi ka. Try ka, try ka.

So, I've always been like that naman.

Tinatry mo lahat?

I just say yes and then I just figure out the rest after I say yes.

So, noong sinabi sa'yo na we will form a girl group called Viva Hot Babes.

Anong unang reaction mo?

Kasi bago ko mag-join ang Viva, I did a show called Atta Girl in ABS.

So, it was like a girl show.

Sabi ko, Boss Vic, group na naman.

Ano ba to?

So, gano'n.

Gano'n yung initial reaction ko.

But of course, because napaka-genius ni Boss Vic,

became very, very successful.

And yeah, I was just so happy to be, you know, try ka.

Narinig na ng anak mo yung mga songs mo na ginawa before.

Of course.

Like yung mga bulaklak.

And that's actually why I did it.

I'm like someday, you know, when I have a kid, she's gonna enjoy this song.

Ilang years ang Viva Hot Babes?

Twenty and counting.

Twenty years?

Twenty years.

Wow!

Twenty years na tapos lahat kayo, may mga anak na, you have your own families,

nag-transition na kayo into some talaga naging private life na.

Yung iba nasa ibang bansa na.

But we still get in touch with each other.

We have a thread na kung saan doon kami nagkocommunicate.

And whenever they come back from wherever they come from, we take them out.

You're now in your 40s.

Yes.

So ano yung feeling to be a woman in your 40s?

Basically, you're just comfortable with yourself and what you've accomplished.

You don't have to prove yourself to anyone anymore.

You know, I'm just happy where I'm at.

Mas chill.

Alam mo, pag-uusapan pa natin more on their journey as Viva Hot Babes.

Dahil may makakasama din tayo yung isa pang member nila.

Nanamiss din natin lahat.

The one and only Maui Taylor.

Kasi nag-uusap na kami.

Pinapalikan namin kasi nakakasabay ko si Maui nung nasa GMA pa ako.

Pero Maui Taylor na siya noon.

Favorite show ko kasi every Sunday yung Ana Karenina.

Oh wow, thank you.

Napapansin na kita kasi sabi ko, ang ganda naman ito Miss Tiza.

Wow, thank you.

Diba ang puti mo na kasi noon?

Tapos parang mataray pa minsan yung role mo.

Actually, doon ako nag-start talaga sa kontrabida na roles.

So yeah, ako yung parang sabi nga nila ako yung sobrang puting mataray on the set.

Yes.

Pero syempre, kabalik tara naman sya talaga in real life.

Yes, parang in real life nga mahinhin ka lang, tahimig ka lang.

Ano ako eh, bensyo introvert actually.

Yes.

Kung baga binago lang ako ng showbiz kahit pa paano.

For the better.

For the better.

Nailabas yung ano mo, yung parang outgoing side mo.

Yes, oo.

Kasi diba yung mga roles na ginawa mo, yung mga movies na ginawa mo.

Oh yes.

Paano ka napasok sa showbiz?

Actually, I really wanted kasi naalala ko pumila pa ako sa auditions ng Ang TV.

Ba't gusto mo mag show business nung bata ka?

Kasi siguro maaga akong na-expose sa TV.

Kasi yung mom ko, bata pa lang ako, pinasok na ako sa print, commercial.

So may idea ka na ng limelight?

Yes, yes.

I already had this whole limelight thing.

Parang, oh wow, masarap to be in it. Ganon.

Na-enjoy mo?

Siyempre nung una, since hindi naman malaki pa yung role ko,

ako yung palaging huling kinukuhaan.

Ah, yes.

Yung diba pa ako ng 4 a.m., 5 a.m. tapos diretso ako sa school.

Ano pagsabay mo yun, school at saka showbiz?

Ayaw kasi ng mom ko na,

ang usapan namin is, papasok ka sa showbiz

pero kailangan nag-aaral ka pa rin.

So nabalance mo yun?

Hindi kasi naalala ko.

Yes, somehow.

Oo, naalala ko diba, in the 90s,

pag nag-artista ka at a very young age, 13, 14,

it's either ang transition mo nyan,

magla love team ka, or magsesexy ka.

From Anna Karenina, yun na nga, kontrabida.

And then nag-TGIS pa ako.

Yes.

Kontrabida. Nag-dearheart pa ako.

Kontrabida, again.

Ano pa pala ako? Nag-best friends pa ako.

Yun yung pumulit sa DATS Entertainment.

Yeah.

From there, medyo kontrabida pa rin.

Tapos after nun, parang biglang na-cut.

I felt as if parang walang nangyayari.

I was always just one of those.

Yun yung feeling ko.

So nagsabi ako sa management ko na,

eh, aaral na lang ako.

Kung baga, I'll just leave the country, aaral na lang.

And then si boss, Vic, naman,

came up with that, you know, idea na,

uy, wait lang, wait lang, wait lang.

Huwag ka muna alas. May magagawa pa tayo.

So, yun, right there and then, I was offered to do sexy.

Actually, more mature roles yung term na ginamit.

Mature. Mature roles.

Yes.

Kasi, ilang taong ka nung nag-start ka mag-mature roles?

I was 21.

Ah.

21 na.

At least 20 plus na.

Yes.

Ako yung college girl image na petite, baby face.

I guess that's one of the reasons why I made it.

Yun ang naging charm mo na parang,

ay, mukha siyang bata pero sexy star siya, sexy actress siya.

She's taking on these mature roles.

Nung in-offer ka for sexy roles and mature roles,

nagkaroon ka ba ng hesitation?

Actually, wala.

Ganun kalakas yung loob ko.

Or I guess, hindi ko na pinag-isipan.

Feeling ko, bihira lang kasi yung binibigyan ni boss ng break na ganun.

And I always believe that boss Vic has the eye for an artist.

Anong reaction ng family mo?

Yung brother ko, nung napanood niyo yung launching film ko,

pagkasundo niya sa akin from school,

naalala ko, binatukan ako ng sapatos nun.

Talagang, ginunan ako ng shoes.

Kasi parang, sabi niya,

what were you thinking? Anong ginagawa mo?

Paano movie yun?

Gamitan.

Directed by Cor Quinares.

Ah, pinanood niya. Na-shock siya.

Shock. Na-shock siya.

Kasi parang, siyempre, hindi nila maisip.

Anong pa naggagawa ng kapatid ko?

Oo. Anong sinabi mo?

Wala. Sorry.

Wala na akong mahihintay. Parang, okay.

Eh, pero yung mommy mo?

My mom, to be honest,

my mom from the start of my sexy career

up to the last sexy movie that I did,

she was always there.

Na, maiilang ako kasi,

maglalove scene ako.

Nandiyan ang mommy ko.

Hindi nga.

I'm not kidding.

Tapos, ang gagawin niya,

oh, kailangan,

sampung tao lang inside the room.

Monitor inside.

Walang still man.

Yun yung conditions nung mom.

Ganun ka-strict.

Hindi ka na-conscious?

Nagkikisingsidas na dyan yung mommy mo.

Yung una.

Yung una.

Yung weird.

Unang una talaga, sabi ko,

ano ba itong ginagawa ng mommy ko?

Hindi ka nandito, mommy.

Lumabas ka, pero hindi.

Ah, nakatutok pala sa'yo yung mommy mo

nung time na yun.

Yes, super.

Tsaka feeling ko kaya siya nandun sa mismong

hot set.

Hot set yung tawag,

yung ginagalawan, diba?

Kasi kailangan niya makita kung sino yung mga mag...

Maybe other people might take advantage

of the situation being shot.

Eh, anak ka niya.

Correct.

So, she will try to protect you as much as she can.

That's right.

And we are parents now.

And that's what we're gonna do.

Now I understand.

Pero ang galing ng mommy mo kasi

open siya dun sa,

okay, my daughter is doing mature roles.

Yes, yeah.

She was ano?

She was very supportive

of the career path that I took.

You were a sex symbol ng early 2000.

So lahat, mga lalaki, crush ka,

ikaw ang pantasya ng bayan,

lahat talaga,

ah, si Maui Taylor.

Yeah.

Paano mo hinahandalin yung fame,

yung popularity?

Honestly, I came to a point

where I didn't know how to handle it.

Feeling ko, dumating ako sa point na

lumaki yung ulo ko.

But then yun na nga eh,

I'm very happy that my parents were always there

to just pull me down.

Humble me down.

Kasi yun yung number one bilin din sa akin eh.

Huwag na huwag lalaki ang ulo mo.

Eh, kaya lang sinabi mo nga at one point,

paano mo na sabing,

kasi it takes a lot of self-awareness

para masabi mo sa sarili mo na,

ay, parang lumaki yung ulo ko.

Ay, parang...

I came to a point where I had a regular show.

Pagod ako.

Pinakapo yung sarili ko.

Noong nawala yung show sa akin,

this was school ka lang,

doon ko na-realize na,

oh wait,

bakit ko ginawa yun?

And then, yun na.

Siyempre nagkaroon na ako ng bad image nun sa Seven.

Hindi na nila ako kinukuha.

So that was when I realized na,

oops, wait lang,

I think you went overboard this time.

Happy naman ako na may self-realization ako.

But what is the difference of your life right now

compared dun sa...

Before?

Before.

Well, now I have two kids.

Yes.

Yeah, I have two boys.

Isang nine, kaka-nine lang na isa.

Seven.

The big difference now is,

siyempre, of course, your mom.

I'd have to say that I became more responsible

for my actions, my decisions.

If dati, sobrang party girl ko,

ngayon I would have to think of my two boys

that I will leave before I go out.

Did you tell your boys na yung trabaho mo?

Alam na ba nila?

Feeling ko may idea.

Ano pag-inoogle nila Maui Taylor?

Ah, yun na nga eh.

Yun na nga eh.

Actually, ano na ako.

Naghahanda na ako ng mga isasagot ko.

But confident ako sa mga bata ngayon na

mas naiintindihan nila.

Yung time na nag-movies ka with mature roles,

right after nun, sinali ka na sa Vivo Hot Babes?

Kaya siya naging Vivo Hot Babes

kasi ang branding nila sa akin was

the original hot babe ng bayan.

Yes.

So sabi ni Boss Vic,

kawa kaya tayo ng grupo?

All girls.

So the auditions started.

Kaya nabuo yung group na yun.

Hindi ka nagkaroon ng hesitation

kasi you were already doing solo films,

nilaunch ka na as solo star,

tapos sasali ka sa isang group.

No, no, non at all.

I actually enjoyed working with the girls.

Kasi kausap ko kanina si Andrea,

20 years na ang Vivo Hot Babes.

20 na ba?

Mag to 20.

Ilan talaga ang Vivo Hot Babes?

8 to 10?

8 to 10.

Sino-sino yun?

Ang original batch ng Vivo Hot Babes?

Aisha Agkawili.

Oo nga pala, Aisha Agkawili.

We have Maui, Katya, Gwen Garcia,

Miles Hernandez,

Cherie.

Cherie.

Did I mention Gwen Garcia already?

Christine Jaka.

Christine Jaka.

General Sandal.

Ah, kayo yung mga original?

Yes.

Yung mga naka-bulaklak outfit.

Oh yeah.

Pag sinabi Vivo Hot Babes,

yung lagi nang isip ko yung bulaklak.

Bulaklak.

Yung bulaklak outfit.

Yes.

Yes.

Kahit some part ng Pilipinas na perform nyo yan.

Ito parang pinapatong-patong lang sa amin yan eh.

Oo.

Pag may fiesta,

kapag may mga ano.

Yes.

Andami naming shows at the time.

We were so blessed.

From a party hanggang hulo

because of that show,

because of that song.

Uso-uso dating novelty songs.

Yes.

Pinagano ba kayo?

Pinag-tapat kayo sa sexbomb?

Yes.

For a time.

They tried.

But we don't dance like them.

Kasi ang gagaling nila sumayo eh.

Kaming parang cute-cute lang kami sumayo.

Sila kaya.

Dinadaan namin sa...

So madalas kayong magkasabay ng show

ng sexbomb?

Usually, yes.

Kaya nga buti wala pang social media nun eh.

Can you imagine kung may social media

tapos sabay na may girl group?

E di awayan ng fans.

Awayan.

Awayan ng fans.

But we would not compete with them.

They're amazing dancers.

Kaya group kasi syempre,

pagbabae, diba,

in one group?

Naku.

Magka-clash ng mga ego, hormones.

We had that.

We had that.

Mood swings.

Wow.

May mga girl fight talaga?

Oo.

May nangyari na na parang mga sigawan

backstage kayo?

Oo, yeah.

Ah, na major fight?

Oo, a lot.

A lot.

Cat fight.

Anong ginagawa nyo pag may mga gano'n?

May mga conflict backstage?

Okay lang.

Sino na pa-pacify?

Sinong ano?

Ah, okay.

You know, usually, Katya.

Katya.

May gano'n siya yung mommy ng group.

May gano'n.

Ah, siya nagpa-pacify.

Ako yung,

mahala kayo sabuhin yung mag-away kayo lahat.

Ayun nga yung for you.

Oo.

Sinong pinaka-mature?

Ikaw mo pinaka-mature nung time na yun sa group?

Sige na nga, aminin na natin.

I'm the oldest of them all.

Sa group?

Yes.

Ah, so ikaw parang senior.

Ikaw pinaka-ate nila.

Pag gano'n, oo.

May mga times din na,

like,

ayoko na, pagod na ako.

Mag, ano na to,

mag-disband na.

There was a time,

syempre,

you would want to have your own thing going on,

or whatever.

But,

nagkakabalikan din naman eh.

Ako, I left.

I told them na alis na ako sa group.

Pag gano'n, nagsasabi yung member na alis,

anong ginagawa niyo?

It's okay.

We all want to grow, diba?

So,

naintindihan naman namin.

Sinong pinaka-makulit sa grupo niyo nung naalala niyo?

Like, comedian.

Sa Viva Holidays.

Ah, comedian.

Ngayon si Sheree.

Ah, talaga?

Siya, nakakatawa.

Yes, yes.

Kanya-kanyang karakter.

Ah, ah.

Ako yung pinaka-ano,

ano ba,

lasinggera sa inyo.

Nung time na yan?

Mm-hmm.

Ako naman kasi, I don't drink.

So,

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

I was gonna say that.

Anong na-enjoy nyo

in being a part of a girl group?

Um,

the sisterhood.

Yeah.

I think the sisterhood.

Kasi,

I have a sister,

but she's younger than me.

But,

I somehow grew up with these ladies.

Mm-hmm.

And the support system is different talaga.

Parang naging ano talaga kayo?

Squad?

Yung isa, may kaaway.

Oo.

Lahat yan,

sasugod.

Ah, may ganon kayo.

Ganon, oo.

Parang,

I got your back talaga.

Pag kaaway ng isa,

kaaway niyong lahat.

Yes.

Anong biggest misconception

sa grupo nyo natin?

Ako, I feel so bad

na even up until now,

people think

por kit,

um,

nag-sexy,

feeling nila pakawala.

Yes.

Meron na sila agad idea of you

without even getting to know you.

Exactly.

Yeah.

In person.

So, paano niyo hinahandle yun?

I don't really read so much

of what,

you know,

what's written about me.

And,

I don't mind it, eh.

You know,

you just have to

just focus on

on your life

and,

and work.

Ikaw, Maui,

paano mo hinahandle pag ganoon?

Ako,

I made sure na every time

nalalabas ako,

balot na balot ako.

Always yan,

naka-polo ako,

naka-long sleeves ako.

And,

makikita naman ng mga tao yan, eh,

na whatever they get to watch in the films,

hindi naman yun yung personality mo

in your real life, eh.

What was the best time for you

during that era,

doing your mature films

and being a part of a girl group?

I'd have to say na,

mas lalo pa kaming nakilala.

You know,

especially being in a,

being in a group

with these girls.

Kung baga,

we were really

there.

What was that feeling like

to be famous?

Less freedom to move around

because of the time, you know.

Every move we made,

you know,

we would be stalked,

or we would,

we could not go to

just anywhere

without

being approached.

Ako naman,

when I,

when I eventually got there, no,

I felt like I was on cloud nine.

But then,

the downside of it

would be yung,

I felt as if,

it's as if my life was

very, very public,

you know.

Wala nang natilang privacy sakin.

So ngayon,

at a point in your life,

what makes you happy?

Building memories with our kids.

Our kids, yeah.

It's hard to stay in this business.

We're just fortunate enough to

somehow

still be here.

Yeah, oo.

That's important eh,

yung maayos yung family mo.

So ako yun.

Simple.

Same, same.

Grateful for

my family, my kids,

my two loving boys.

Yes.

Yun pala ang greatest happiness.

It's just really being,

being a mom.
