ALFRED VARGAS: Ang Fil-Italian wife ang lucky charm || #TTWAA Ep. 175
00:57.8
From the start, kasi she's...
01:00.0
She's half Italian and half Filipino.
01:02.6
Alam mo, pag nakikita ko si Yasmin, kahit mga picture, I haven't seen her personally yet.
01:07.5
Mga pictures talaga.
01:08.7
Karami, ang laki ng hawig kay Marian Rivera.
01:12.4
Feeling ko ikaw si Ding Dong eh.
01:15.1
Rami nga po nagsasabi.
01:16.3
And misun, pag magkasama kami ni Ding Dong, nababanggit namin, parehong Eurasian yung mga misis namin.
01:22.8
Ano din, Spanish naman yung...
01:24.9
Spanish, Filipino. Ako naman, Italian, Filipino.
01:28.7
So, ano naman kami.
01:29.5
Pareho tayo. Pareho tayong may magandang mga misis.
01:33.0
Eh, ang gugwapo rin naman nyo, di ba?
01:34.9
Tingnan si Ding Dong at saka ikaw.
01:36.6
Hindi kayo nagkakalayong.
01:37.8
Guwapo-guwapo nyo pareho.
01:39.6
Paano nag-cruise ng landas kayong mag-asawa, considering that she was based in Italy?
01:45.5
Ayun ako, because of our common friend.
01:47.7
Kaibigan nyo rin.
01:48.7
Direk Mario J. de los Reyes.
01:50.4
Oh, the late Mario J.
01:51.6
Yes, si Direk, ano yan, very close friend kayo si Direk.
01:54.8
And yung masasabi ko, one of my closer friends in the industry,
01:59.5
habang nag-taping ako, umaga na, no, biglang may missed call siya.
02:04.3
Tapos nag-return call ako, gising pa siya, mga 1am, 2am yun, nakikiusap sa akin.
02:09.2
Sabi, ano, Alfred, fiesta sa amin sa Laguna, Santa Cruz, Laguna, Anilag Festival.
02:15.5
Wala namang budget to. Baka naman pwede kang mag-perform kahit one song.
02:20.5
Tapos, ano, mayroon namang konting onorarium, sabi ko, Direk, ikaw pa.
02:24.8
Kahit walang onorarium, okay lang. Hindi lang one song, two songs, pakakanta yun.
02:30.3
So, kahit na medyo puyat ako noon or noon, pumunta ako sa, ano, doon sa Santa Cruz.
02:34.8
Doon sa backstage, nakita ko, sabi ko, may napansin ako eh.
02:37.8
Kasi ang gulo-gulo sa backstage, ang daming mga talent din doon, daming po perform, mga pa-contest nila.
02:43.0
Sabi ko, sino yun? Artista ba yun?
02:44.6
Kung artista siya, hindi ko siya kilala, pero super ganda.
02:49.8
Tapos, doon sa common friend namin, pinakilala ako kay Yasmin.
02:53.1
So, doon ko siya unang na-meet sa backstage.
02:55.4
Why was she here? Nagbabakasyon?
02:57.6
Nagbabakasyon siya sa ancestral home.
02:59.5
Nila sa Lumban, Laguna.
03:01.5
Pagka-Lumban kasi siya.
03:02.7
Ano siya eh, born and raised in Italy.
03:04.6
Nag-aaral din siya sa Italy noon.
03:07.0
Nagkataon lang, nandito rin lang siya.
03:08.5
Tapos, akala ko naman, ano, medyo kinakabahan pa ako.
03:12.6
Alam mo, sabi ko talaga, hindi ako nakapigil.
03:14.1
Ang ganda-ganda mo, grabe.
03:16.1
Medyo nang nagulat din siya.
03:17.5
Kasi parang lakas ng dating ko.
03:19.1
Tapos, tinanong ko kung may boyfriend siya.
03:24.7
Ganon ka talaga kaporsigido na makilala siya ng gusto.
03:27.9
Oo, pinrank ako na.
03:29.5
Kasi alam mo na, di ba, pag ano.
03:30.8
Doon na, doon na nag-start.
03:32.3
And sabi ko, nako, mukhang mahirapan ako dito.
03:34.3
Kasi sigurado ako, daming manliligaw dito.
03:37.1
And even that night, doon sa backstage,
03:38.7
ang daming nagpapakit sa kanya ron.
03:40.8
Sabi ko, pero ano siya.
03:41.2
Kasama ka na ron.
03:42.9
Isa lang ako sa maraming nagpapakit sa kanya ron.
03:46.5
The following day kasi, pupunta ako sa probinsya for another show.
03:49.3
Two days after na, yung pag nakabalik ako,
03:51.3
dumiretsyo na ako, makit na ako ng ligaw
03:53.2
from Quezon City to Lumban, Laguna.
03:56.2
So, niligawan ko na, binisita ko na sa bahay nila.
03:59.4
Galing talagang, hindi ka na talaga.
04:01.2
You did not waste time.
04:04.4
I remember, ginagawa ko pang show noon.
04:07.0
Kami ni Isa doon sa ESP ng GMA.
04:10.2
Parang ano, ka-Jezebel pala.
04:11.7
Oh yes, with Marian.
04:12.6
Jezebel yung ginagawa ko doon, with Marian.
04:14.6
Oo, with Marian Indigdo.
04:16.3
Misan, mapapaka pa ako noong 5am,
04:18.2
didiretso ako sa Lumban.
04:19.4
Darating ako noon noong mga 8am.
04:21.0
At nakita ng family niya kung gaano ka talaga kaprosigido.
04:24.0
Pero yung, ito yung nakakaano,
04:25.8
yung parang nagulat ako, Tita Aster.
04:27.8
Noong niligaw ko sa kanya,
04:30.0
isang beses, nakita ako,
04:31.3
galing ako doon sa sala,
04:32.9
may naiwang-siwang yung pintuan ng kwarto.
04:37.0
Doon pala sa kwarto niya, nakita ako,
04:39.0
meron siyang poster ko.
04:43.3
So, in other words, parang crush ka na niya.
04:45.8
Fan ko pala siya.
04:47.9
Fan ko pala siya.
04:48.7
Wow, talagang pinagtagpo kayo.
04:51.0
And later on, nagkukwentuhan kami,
04:52.9
nung sinagot na niya ako,
04:54.0
this was months after.
04:56.0
Sinabi niya pala, nung napanood niya,
04:57.6
nung bumisita siya una sa Philippines,
05:00.3
napanood niya ako sa show ko na Impostora.
05:02.2
Kasama ko naman doon si Sunshine Vision,
05:03.9
saka si Issa, saka si Mark Anthony.
05:05.8
Tinanong niya daw doon sa mga kamag-anak niya na Pilipino,
05:08.4
doon sa ano, sino yan?
05:09.4
Si Alfred Vargas.
05:10.8
Yan ang pinapanood ko sa eksyena ko sa TV.
05:12.8
Yan ang palalaking pakakasalan ko.
05:15.2
Kinilabutan daw ako?
05:19.0
yun, nag-meet nga kami doon sa Lumban.
05:20.7
Kaya hindi ko makakalimutan si Direct Mario J.
05:23.1
After kasi ng Impostora,
05:26.7
Si Sunshine pa rin,
05:31.3
Nag-shooting pa kami doon sa Singapore.
05:34.6
yun naman yung show namin.
05:36.2
At that time, girlfriend mo na siya?
05:38.1
Hindi, hindi ko pa siya girlfriend.
05:39.5
Wala pa, hindi ko pa siya nami-meet na to.
05:41.9
Ano, kasama namin saka si idol ko,
05:45.4
Tapos sinabi ko talaga kay Richard,
05:46.7
naalala ko to eh,
05:47.7
kay Kuya Richard na,
05:48.7
in one of our shootings,
05:52.0
biliba ko sa iyo sa palibasa lalaki.
05:54.2
Sabi ko sa kanya,
05:55.0
saka biliba ko sa iyo,
05:56.6
sa hihintayin kita sa langit.
05:58.2
Pero pinakabiliba ko sa iyo,
05:59.5
nung napangasawa mo si Lucy Torres.
06:04.1
Huwag kang mag-alala,
06:04.9
makahanap mo rin Lucy Torres mo.
06:11.2
na-meet ko na si Yasmin.
06:13.7
pagka na-meet mo na yung gawan,
06:15.9
hindi mo na kailangan ng clue,
06:17.3
hindi mo na alam.
06:19.0
Yung decision is,
06:26.1
wala rin siyang boyfriend.
06:27.3
Wala, pero marami siyang maniligaw.
06:30.6
So, was it love at first sight?
06:33.2
Love at first sight.
06:34.6
Pero siyempre siya eh.
06:35.8
Fan mo na siya eh.
06:37.0
Siguro na love at first sight siya sa akin,
06:41.0
Pero siyempre bigla,
06:42.0
tapos nag-meet kayo personally.
06:43.9
Diba, anong pakiramdam niya at that time?
06:46.0
Hindi ko naramdaman sa kanya,
06:47.2
nagustuhan niya ako eh.
06:48.3
Parang naitago niya ng maigi.
06:51.1
later on ko na lang na-discover
06:52.4
nung nag-de-date na kami.
06:53.9
Tapos tsaka niya,
06:54.6
unti-unting nire-reveal.
06:56.5
at the end of the day,
06:57.7
napakaswerte ko talaga.
06:59.0
I found the one who really loves me.
07:02.1
ano lang yung una,
07:06.7
she's been my wife for 13 years.
07:08.6
Dami na namin pinagdaanan.
07:11.3
tsaka mas tumindi pa yung pagmamahalan.
07:13.3
I've been there and done that
07:17.7
I met a lot of girls,
07:19.1
I dated a lot of ladies,
07:20.6
got into relationships with women,
07:22.5
nung nag-meet kasi ako,
07:23.9
mga kami ni Yasmin,
07:24.9
28 years old na ako.
07:26.7
Parang ready ka na.
07:27.7
So, parang ready na ako.
07:29.2
And by the time I was 26 or 27,
07:32.0
I got tired na rin eh,
07:33.1
of that kind of life.
07:34.2
Na parang single ka na bachelor,
07:36.3
na eligible bachelor ka,
07:40.3
kahit saan ka magpunta,
07:41.4
parang that was the right time for me.
07:45.1
kasi even in my career,
07:46.8
nung na-meet ko si Yasmin,
07:47.8
hindi ko naman naisip yung career ko eh.
07:49.3
Wala ka pa sa politics at that time?
07:54.2
the point na deep in my heart,
07:55.6
I knew I would be willing to give up anything
07:58.1
just to be with her.
07:59.8
So, in other words,
08:00.9
after you met her,
08:02.5
hindi na siya bumalik ng Italy?
08:05.1
Pero nung bumalik siya, kami na.
08:06.9
So, I got her to say yes already.
08:09.3
One semester na lang,
08:11.3
tapos na siya sa college.
08:13.8
So, she was taking up fine arts.
08:17.3
the best place to take fine arts, di ba?
08:19.7
Kasi artist siya, visual artist siya.
08:21.6
So, nung natapos,
08:22.4
na niya yung ano,
08:23.2
nung makagraduate na siya,
08:24.4
yun ah, bumalik na rito.
08:25.4
Hindi ko na pinabalik.
08:27.1
And you got married?
08:30.7
Pero bakit inantay niyo yung seven years
08:32.7
bago kayo nung pakasal sa simbahan?
08:38.8
I was just so conscious na
08:40.4
to go for stability.
08:42.5
Kasi, ito muna tayo,
08:44.0
civil wedding muna.
08:52.4
kasi I just wanna be responsible.
08:54.8
Parang ayoko magutom yung pamilya ko.
08:57.2
So, nagtayo muna kami ng business,
08:59.2
naganom muna kami,
09:00.5
tapos inayos ko muna yung career ko,
09:02.0
tapos that time naman,
09:03.0
papasok na ako sa public service.
09:04.7
So, parang magulo pala.
09:05.7
Actually, 2010 ka pumasok eh.
09:08.5
Same ano nung nag-asawa ka.
09:10.0
Yes, so it was a very, very crucial journey.
09:13.3
both of my parents died.
09:14.7
So, my father died in 2011,
09:16.9
then my mother followed in 2014.
09:19.1
So, parang kahit magplano kami,
09:20.7
parang nauudlot palagi.
09:23.0
Tapos finally, nung 2017,
09:25.9
I see, now I understand.
09:29.3
If I come to think of it nga,
09:32.3
Tapos 2011, daddy ko.
09:35.2
nang babangloksa pa, di ba?
09:37.2
Eh, 2013 naman, elections.
09:38.8
First time ko tumakbong congressman.
09:44.6
So, 2016, elections.
09:47.1
Ganun pala, kasi napaka-bigat ng elections.
09:49.7
Kaya nung 2017, finally,
09:53.9
You lost your parents
09:55.2
in a matter of two years.
09:57.1
Two years gap lang.
09:58.5
Alam mo, tita Astor,
10:00.7
your parents will always be part of you.
10:03.3
Whether they're alive
10:04.5
or they're not here anymore,
10:07.2
they're part of you.
10:08.3
Lalo na nung panahon ng pandemic,
10:10.7
nung kasagsagan ng pandemic,
10:11.8
nagtatawag ang kami
10:12.6
ng mga mga kapatid ko.
10:15.4
namimiss ko si mami.
10:17.2
bigla na lang ako naihap.
10:18.3
Sana nandito sila mo
10:19.0
kasi we didn't know what to do.
10:21.3
Pag may mga panahon,
10:24.3
kung anong gagawin mo,
10:25.3
mamimiss mo yung tatay mo,
10:27.6
mamimiss mo yung nanay mo,
10:29.3
tapos yung kung sino yung matatakboan mo,
10:30.9
yung mga kapatid mo,
10:32.5
tsaka family mo na rin.
10:33.9
And they will always be a part of you,
10:37.9
Your mom was a lawyer.
10:40.5
Bakit hindi mo siya sinundan?
10:42.7
yun nga yung naging frustration niya sa akin
10:44.2
kasi nag-pre-law na ako sa Ateneo.
10:46.6
Tapos I was, ano,
10:48.0
management economics, eh.
10:49.6
Management economics.
10:50.6
Tapos I was all set
10:51.7
to go to law school.
10:52.4
Tapos nag-showbiz ako.
10:55.4
bigla na lang nila ako
10:57.3
So hindi nila alam?
11:00.2
Tapos nagtampo siya sa akin.
11:02.5
hindi ako nag-enroll na sa law school.
11:04.6
Eh, ang tagal na naming plano yun,
11:05.8
high school pa lang, eh.
11:06.8
Pag ano, high school.
11:08.6
O college, eto magandang course.
11:10.0
Tapos diretsa ko na.
11:11.7
Eh, gusto ko rin naman talaga
11:13.2
lawyer to be fair.
11:14.6
Kaso, I got bitten by the acting bug
11:16.7
nung nagsumali ako
11:17.5
ng theater group namin,
11:18.8
Tanghalang Ateneo.
11:19.6
O, sila Ricky Abad,
11:21.4
sila Ron Capinding.
11:23.0
Doon na ako na-inlove sa acting,
11:25.8
Hanggang sa, yun na.
11:26.8
Tapos na-discover ako
11:27.8
ni Mr. M, Johnny Manahan,
11:29.9
sa Star Circle, batch 10.
11:32.7
tsaka Dennis Trillo.
11:35.0
2001 kami ni-launch.
11:37.1
hindi ako pinansin ang mommy ko.
11:38.4
Saan ka na-discover ni Mr. M?
11:40.6
Sa Tanghalang Ateneo na.
11:42.5
One Face Scouts, ano,
11:44.3
Tapos pinapunta ako sa audition.
11:46.2
Tapos I went to the audition
11:47.9
Star Circle, batch 10.
11:51.7
Yes, ita nandun yata kayo
11:52.9
nung launching namin
11:53.7
doon sa 14th floor yan.
11:55.4
Nagsimula ka sa ABS-CBN,
11:57.2
pero mas tumataka sa GMA.
11:59.6
As kapuso, di ba?
11:59.8
Opo, siguro po sa ano lang talaga,
12:02.8
talaga pong ganun.
12:03.7
Nabigyan din po ako
12:04.4
sa ng break kasi,
12:05.4
because of Seiko Films,
12:07.0
kay Boss Robitan,
12:08.2
when I did the role
12:09.0
sa Bridal Shower.
12:10.5
that was your first movie.
12:11.5
Yung kapartner ko si,
12:12.9
O, that was your first movie.
12:15.5
I got a call na from GMA7.
12:18.4
ginawa ka agad ako
12:19.2
ang leading man naman
12:20.9
sa isa niyang teleserye,
12:23.3
Tapos yung Encantadia na,
12:24.7
tapos The Resist History.
12:25.8
O, tumataka rin sa Encantadia,
12:27.5
pati yung prequel
12:28.6
na Anastasia, di ba?
12:30.5
Nagpapalit-palit lang
12:31.4
mga leading ladies mo,
12:35.0
sina Diana Subiri.
12:36.8
Ayaw mo mag-artista
12:42.4
ito yung backstory po nun.
12:43.9
Nung nag-meet kami that time,
12:45.4
nag-workshop na siya
12:48.7
Okay, nag-workshop.
12:50.1
ayaw niya talaga.
12:52.3
Pero nung nakita ko
12:53.8
medyo nagpasalamat na rin ako
12:55.0
kasi honestly, tita,
12:57.2
pagka parehas kayong
12:58.4
from showbiz, di ba?
12:59.9
Siya mismo ang ayaw.
13:01.1
Siya talaga ayaw niya.
13:02.4
Ayaw niya talaga.
13:02.8
Pero kung sa'yo, okay lang.
13:03.9
Kasi mahihain siya.
13:04.7
Pero kung gusto niya,
13:05.6
okay lang sa'kin.
13:06.9
Okay lang sa'kin.
13:09.1
siya mismo ayaw niya eh.
13:11.2
yung buong family niya
13:12.0
gusto mag-artista siya.
13:13.1
Pero wala talaga siya.
13:14.3
Kasi kailangan nasa puso yun eh.
13:17.6
Kung ayaw niya talaga,
13:18.7
hindi mo yung mapipilit eh.
13:20.1
Alam mo kung saan siya magaling?
13:21.4
In running the house.
13:22.6
Hindi, bukod sa pagpipaint niya,
13:24.1
sa pagiging homemaker.
13:26.9
it's the most difficult job in the world.
13:28.7
Siya yung nagpapalaki sa mga anak ko.
13:31.1
alam ko yung mga anak ko
13:32.1
hindi lumalaki sa yaya.
13:36.2
after my busy day,
13:37.4
whether galing ka sa taping or shooting,
13:39.8
or galing sa public service,
13:41.2
galing sa session,
13:42.3
o galing sa project,
13:44.3
confident ako maayos yung bahay.
13:45.8
Kakain na lang ako ng masarap,
13:47.3
makikipagkwentuhan ako sa family ko,
13:49.3
tapos makakapagpahinga ako,
13:50.5
makakapagbanding kami.
13:51.7
Yung that kind of peace of mind
13:53.7
that Yasmin gives to our house,
13:56.5
she makes our house truly a home.
13:59.3
Ako, Tita Esther,
14:00.3
wala akong bisyo eh.
14:01.3
Last August, 2023,
14:03.5
20 years na akong nagquit ng sigarilyo.
14:07.9
20 years na akong quit.
14:09.3
Wala kaming bisyo.
14:10.2
And hindi kami yung lumalabas para uminom.
14:12.8
And she didn't impose on you
14:14.5
na itigil mo ito,
14:16.3
That was 20 years ago ako nagquit eh.
14:18.0
At ikaw pa ang nag-ano,
14:19.9
So, ano yung trip namin?
14:23.6
kahit karinderi yan,
14:24.9
o kahit fine dining restaurant yan,
14:27.3
we bond through food.
14:31.7
Ang goal lang naman namin,
14:33.6
Isang local travel a year,
14:35.3
isang regional travel,
14:37.9
yung mga Hong Kong,
14:38.5
at saka isang major travel,
14:41.3
either USA or Europe,
14:44.2
Yun lang yung amin.
14:45.7
Have you been to Milan?
14:48.3
Umakit ako ng ligaw doon.
14:52.6
Ang tindi mo pala talaga, no?
14:54.6
Talagang mahal mo talaga si Yasmin.
14:57.2
Crossed many seas.
15:00.3
O, talagang umakit ako ng ligaw doon.
15:03.5
I'm so far from being perfect,
15:05.5
from being a perfect husband and father.
15:08.2
I just want, ano,
15:09.3
ang priority ko ngayon,
15:12.8
after finishing my nine years as congressman,
15:15.4
gusto kong bumawi sa pamilya ko.
15:17.5
Gusto ko lang magbigay ng oras para sa pamilya ko.
15:21.2
while doing the job of a counselor,
15:23.1
na hindi naman kasing bigat ng pagiging congressman.
15:25.8
Pero babalikan mo pa ba ang kongreso,
15:27.8
one of these days?
15:28.8
Kasi you're still young.
15:31.4
hindi siya yung, ano ko,
15:33.0
hindi doon nakasalalay kung sino ako.
15:36.3
Hindi doon nakasalalay yung, ano ko,
15:38.2
yung nakikita kong future ko.
15:43.0
he's doing a terrific job sa congress.
15:45.6
he's doing better than me.
15:48.1
I'm a proud duya.
15:51.0
God will permit na he,
15:54.2
he finishes his three terms.
15:57.6
flexible naman ako.
16:00.3
kung anong bigay ng Panginoon,
16:03.3
mukhang binibigay niyang sign sa akin,
16:05.5
time with family,
16:08.6
and venture into new opportunities.
16:11.6
Being a business,
16:14.0
At saka yung pagiging business man mo naman,
16:15.7
hindi naman nawawala eh,
16:18.1
Was it because of your parents
16:19.7
or sarili mo itong, ano?
16:22.1
siguro po dahil din sa mga pinagdaanan.
16:24.0
Ang dami kasi yung natin mga kaibigan,
16:26.5
pura kinag-aaral ako sa atin na yun,
16:28.6
pinanganakaw kong mayaman.
16:29.7
We were not, ano,
16:32.8
Pero we were not also poor.
16:34.8
Pero there were times na,
16:37.3
nagutom din kami,
16:39.1
Kasi nga, ano eh,
16:42.5
yung we were raised by,
16:45.5
Kasi hiwala yung parents ko.
16:46.7
How young were you then,
16:48.2
Mababa, teenager.
16:50.1
Tapos they were separated for 17 years,
16:52.3
hanggang sa namatay na sila,
16:53.4
nang hindi sila magkahiwalay.
16:55.3
So, there were difficult times
16:56.7
when I was growing up,
16:58.9
kaming apat na magkakapatid,
16:60.0
nasa dinner table,
17:00.7
kanin lang yung laman ng pagkain namin,
17:03.6
Hinihintay lang namin yung mami namin dumating
17:07.5
mga 8.30 na ng gabi yun,
17:08.9
tapos may daladala siyang chicken,
17:11.4
kasi yung chicken,
17:12.6
inutang pa niya sa office mate niya.
17:14.3
So, may gano'n kami.
17:15.5
Tapos, mayroong time,
17:17.7
kasi hindi namin mapaayos yung kisam eh,
17:20.2
parang may waterfall sa bahay.
17:23.3
So, at a young age,
17:24.9
ayoko naman maging pabigat.
17:26.1
Oo, that's my fear eh,
17:28.1
ayoko maging pabigat
17:29.3
sa mga taong mahal ko.
17:30.6
So, at a young age,
17:31.9
nung grade 7 ako,
17:34.1
kasi taga-Santa Maria,
17:35.2
wala kang tinggal.
17:35.8
Tuwing umuwi kami doon,
17:37.0
sa daddy ko naman,
17:39.0
nanghuhuli kami ng gagamba
17:41.4
Yung mga barkada ko,
17:42.6
yung mga bata ko,
17:43.3
yung mga kapatintero ko ron,
17:44.9
mga loksong baka,
17:48.0
napapahuli ako ng gagamba.
17:49.1
I buy it from them,
17:51.9
inilalagay ko ron sa Olivenza,
17:56.8
Di ba nagpakahirap nun?
17:59.2
pag uwi namin ng Sunday afternoon,
18:02.4
binibenta ko na ng 20 pesos,
18:05.4
May 19 pesos ka ng ano,
18:10.1
inaano mo sa walistingting.
18:13.9
doon ko na enjoy,
18:15.6
na sarap pala kumita
18:17.0
ng sarili mong pera.
18:19.0
doon na nag-start.
18:20.6
ang sarap kasi ng feeling,
18:21.6
if you're self-reliant,
18:23.0
kapag pinaghirapan mo,
18:24.6
pwede mong gasosin,
18:25.6
kahit saan mo gusto.
18:27.2
yung mga kinikita ko,
18:28.0
ginagasos ko sa mga
18:31.0
basketball cards,
18:34.4
nagsisave na talaga ako
18:35.4
sa Alcantara namin na kawayan.
18:37.2
Tapag-aindun sa ano.
18:37.9
Ganun sa probinsya,
18:40.7
Natuto na rin ako.
18:44.2
row apartment kami nun eh.
18:46.2
may row apartment kami dyan
18:47.4
sa Loyola Heights,
18:48.7
Nagre-rent lang kami nun.
18:50.1
yung kapitbahay namin,
18:52.0
Laging madumi yung kotse.
18:53.8
maging car wash boy
18:54.8
nung mga kapitbahay namin.
18:57.8
20 pesos to 30 pesos
19:02.1
Natutuwa naman sila nun.
19:03.8
yung kotse pa niyan,
19:04.5
pulang Nissan Sentra eh.
19:06.9
Nung magkahiwala ang parents mo,
19:09.0
kayong apat na magkakapatid
19:10.3
stayed with your mom?
19:13.1
dalawa mong elder sisters,
19:14.7
ikaw pangatlo ka,
19:21.6
Kami nag-aaral kami.
19:22.0
Government ano kasi?
19:23.4
Government that time kasi
19:24.1
hindi pa ganun kalaki yung
19:26.2
Maliit lang before,
19:27.1
pero ngayon kasi po malaki
19:28.0
because of the salary
19:29.0
standardization law.
19:30.6
Kaming apat na magkakapatid,
19:32.4
nag-aaral sa Ateneo,
19:33.6
yung dalawa naman sa UP.
19:35.2
Kasi mas matanda sila sa amin.
19:37.1
So, talagang sa Loyola Heights lang,
19:38.7
sa Katipunan lang,
19:40.2
uminog yung buhay namin.
19:44.0
yung takbo ng buhay nyo
19:45.1
nang pumasok ka na sa showbiz?
19:48.6
I started feeling na
19:50.2
gumaganda yung buhay ko
19:51.5
dahil sa pag-artista.
19:53.2
Hindi yung showbiz talaga
19:54.7
yung bumuhay sa akin.
19:56.6
And sa showbiz talaga yung
20:00.3
ba't ko rin naabot
20:01.1
yung mga pangarap ko sa buhay.
20:02.9
Ang dami ko nang nacheckan eh
20:04.0
sa bucket list ko.
20:05.6
Marami pa akong itcheckan,
20:07.3
pero ang dami kong nacheckan eh.
20:09.3
nalibot ko na yung buong Pilipinas
20:10.8
dahil sa pag-artista.
20:12.5
Nakapaglingkod ako sa bayan
20:13.6
dahil sa pag-artista.
20:15.5
Nakabili ako ng kotse,
20:16.6
nakabili ako ng bahay,
20:17.7
nakabili ako ng properties.
20:19.6
Nakapagtayo ako ng mga negosyo
20:20.9
dahil sa pag-artista.
20:22.2
Nang ibang bansa ka na rin
20:23.3
bilang artista, di ba?
20:26.1
nanay-lonet sila.
20:27.8
Dahil talaga rito sa showbiz,
20:29.4
kaya I owe a lot to this industry.
20:32.6
pag sinasabing artista
20:34.2
na pumapasok sa politika,
20:36.2
larangan ng politika,
20:37.8
parang mini-menos kayo.
20:41.1
handang-handa ka eh.
20:44.9
Management Economics in Ateneo.
20:47.9
And then you took up
20:49.0
your master's degree in UP.
20:51.6
Public Administration.
20:54.1
pinaghandaan mo rin ito.
20:55.6
At saka hindi lang ito yung
20:56.8
basta-basta ka lang pumasok sa politika na
20:58.9
hindi ka malang nakapagtapos ng kulayo.
21:01.0
But in your case,
21:03.2
bilang nasasaktan ka rin, di ba?
21:06.2
So paano mo ito dinidepensa?
21:09.0
pag naririnig ko yan,
21:10.9
pag may mga nag-comments online,
21:13.6
medyo immune na rin ako,
21:14.8
artista lang yan,
21:15.7
walang nagagawa yan.
21:18.7
I'll be honest with you,
21:21.1
Masakit po marinig yan.
21:23.3
I just keep quiet.
21:24.7
Yan ang bilin sa akin ng mami ko.
21:26.8
Actions speak louder than words.
21:28.7
Pakita mo na lang sa performance mo.
21:31.9
isa rin yung bagay na
21:32.9
in-instill sa amin
21:34.1
ang mga magulang po namin
21:35.4
para sa aming mga magkakapatid.
21:37.4
Learning never stops.
21:39.3
You cannot say that you're ready
21:41.7
dahil lang may degree ka.
21:47.6
Hindi ka lang naman sa school matututo eh.
21:49.5
Sa mga taong kausap mo,
21:52.2
And that's why ngayon, Tita,
21:53.5
I'm still pursuing naman may PhD.
21:56.7
Kaka-enroll ko lang eh.
22:00.3
naingit ako sa ganyan.
22:02.2
Diyan ako na insecure.
22:04.4
Anak, you know why?
22:05.8
I did not finish my college.
22:08.2
But you're one of the best journalists.
22:11.9
Tita, you write very well.
22:13.3
You speak very well.
22:14.5
Pero ang ano nito is,
22:16.2
iba pa rin talaga.
22:17.9
isa yun sa aking,
22:19.0
if I have any regrets at all,
22:21.7
It's not too late.
22:23.4
It's never too late.
22:24.6
So, ako naman po ngayon,
22:26.3
because of my mom,
22:29.7
tapos tinanggap naman ulit ako ng UP.
22:32.6
ano na po ito eh,
22:33.6
School for Urban and Regional Planning.
22:36.5
So, I want to be an urban planner one day.
22:39.6
second semester ko na ngayon,
22:41.2
last semester ako nag-start.
22:44.0
kasi daming math,
22:45.5
tsaka daming technicalities.
22:48.0
management economics eh.
22:49.9
Kaya-kaya mo yan eh.
22:54.0
this will take at least 5 years ah,
22:57.7
You're still young.
22:59.7
na-enjoy ko naman eh.
23:03.1
ma-manage ko yung time mo.
23:05.3
Believe ako sa iyo.
23:06.2
Saludo ako sa iyo.
23:09.0
nasa politika ka,
23:10.1
you're a family man,
23:11.1
you have your businesses,
23:13.3
You're a producer.
23:16.0
depende yun sa tao eh.
23:17.8
Yung passion mo kasi eh,
23:19.1
dahil naandun eh.
23:20.2
In wearing different hats,
23:21.7
malaki rin yung sacrifice.
23:25.0
na-sacrifice ko yung
23:27.3
Hindi ko na-attendan yung mga reunion,
23:29.2
yung mga weekends with friends,
23:31.0
hindi ko na naranasan yan.
23:32.7
yung mga ibang parties,
23:34.9
kasi wala na talaga sa priority ko yun.
23:37.2
Ang priority ko yun,
23:40.1
saka yung mga negosyo.
23:43.7
yun yung nakita kong sikreto.
23:46.4
alam mo lang talaga yung
23:47.2
priority mo sa buhay.
23:48.9
malinaw na lahat.
23:50.0
hindi ka magsisisi.
23:51.8
yung mga taong hindi nakaintindi sa'yo,
23:53.8
na dahil wala ka,
23:57.1
hindi ka nila naintindihan.
24:00.6
the ones who are really your friends,
24:02.9
and the ones who really know you,
24:06.1
Kahit limang taong kayong di magkita,
24:08.4
parang tayo, tita.
24:10.0
Pag nagkita tayo,
24:10.7
parang wala nagbago.
24:12.2
They will understand you eh.
24:15.1
so siguro yung mga taong nandiyan dyan,
24:16.8
na natatakot mag-excel,
24:20.5
Talagang may kapalit na sakripisyo yan.
24:23.5
personal lahat eh.
24:24.8
Siguro nung nag-pandemic din,
24:26.4
parang nag-flashback lahat sa akin.
24:28.4
Maraming realization.
24:29.0
Lahat ng mga taong tumulong nung
24:30.9
nag-uumpisa pa lang ako,
24:32.1
hindi ko sinanakalimutan.
24:33.6
Kasama na kayo doon.
24:35.0
yung kakastart ko lang,
24:36.4
magsigno ba naman ako?
24:37.4
Pero there were a lot of people like you.
24:42.3
Hindi mo sila palang makakalimutan.
24:43.9
And the ones who wrote about you,
24:45.4
kahit di ka naman sikat,
24:47.3
Lahat naman nagsisimula sa wala eh.
24:49.2
Tapos nagtiwala sila sa'yo.
24:50.3
Namit mo lang ng isang press conference,
24:51.9
tapos sa press conference,
24:52.8
nasa dulo lang ako.
24:53.9
Tapos naisulat ako.
24:55.1
There are things,
24:55.9
those kind things na ginawa sa akin,
24:58.4
hindi ko nakakalimutan.
25:01.3
it fuels my passion din to share,
25:06.4
to nurture relationships.
25:08.5
ang suryente ko rin pala sa mga magulang ko kasi,
25:11.4
pag magulang ka na,
25:12.3
tsaka mo lang nare-realize
25:13.7
na kung gaano yung hirap na pinagdaanan
25:16.0
ng magulang mo sa'yo.
25:18.3
Kaya sana yung mga aral eh,
25:20.8
natuturo mo rin sa mga anak mo.
25:23.9
you're blessed with three beautiful kids
25:26.1
na magiging apat na eventually.
25:29.4
At meron ka ng boy,
25:32.3
Alessandra, diba?
25:34.1
Saka si Cristiano.
25:36.9
Ano ang fulfillment ng isang ama?
25:39.9
Especially na nakikita mo na
25:41.7
lumalaki yung mga anak mo.
25:43.6
Alessandra is a good swimmer.
25:46.3
Nagkukumpit na siya.
25:47.7
May kwento ako dyan eh.
25:48.8
Kasi in line with me answering that question.
25:51.4
First time niya magkumpit ng swimming.
25:53.5
So, one more than,
25:54.9
less than two months pa lang siya nagtitreaming.
25:57.0
Pero may competition.
25:58.1
Sabi ko, pag sumali ka,
25:59.8
I'll give you a prize.
26:03.5
you don't have to be first.
26:04.7
Basta kahit anong medal.
26:07.3
So, she took on the challenge.
26:10.9
siya na lang yung walang cellphone.
26:12.3
12 years old na siya.
26:13.2
Magta-13 na siya this next month.
26:15.5
Siya na lang wala.
26:16.5
Lahat ng classmates niya,
26:17.8
so, sabi ko siya,
26:18.7
kailangan paghirapan mo.
26:19.9
So, ito yung conditions ko.
26:21.1
Dapat may medal ka.
26:22.1
Kahit isang medal, okay na.
26:23.3
Tapos, pangalawa,
26:24.2
gagawa tayo ng 10 commandments ng phone.
26:27.0
Kasi ako, kami ni Macy's,
26:29.5
sa world right now
26:33.4
No phone during meals.
26:36.1
pagkaharap mo kami,
26:37.1
hindi namin nakikita phone mo.
26:38.9
Tapos, by 8.30pm,
26:43.0
Tapos, pag gumising ka sa umaga,
26:45.1
you're not allowed to check your phone
26:46.8
during the first hour of the morning.
26:49.3
Dapat, prepare mo muna lahat.
26:50.8
Tapos, hindi kami mag-spyware
26:53.2
yung nakamirror yung phone.
26:56.2
Hindi kami ganun,
26:57.2
but we trust you.
26:59.4
if we ask you, you show us.
27:00.8
May mga ganun na kaming rules na inilagay.
27:04.4
Tapos, yun nga, na-excite siya.
27:06.1
syempre, naano rin siya.
27:07.4
Dapat, yung grades mo tumaas.
27:09.3
Kasi, meron siyang
27:12.0
nag-91 lang siya.
27:16.7
Actually naman sa amin,
27:18.5
basta 90 and above, okay.
27:19.8
You don't have to be 100.
27:21.8
Yung 91, sabi ko,
27:22.7
dapat, maintain o mas tumaas.
27:24.9
Ginawa naman yung 93.
27:28.6
So, na-check na niya yung box na yun.
27:30.8
So, yung na-check niya,
27:32.5
Tapos, yung ano namin,
27:33.8
yung 10 commandments.
27:36.9
the competition came.
27:38.5
She got 3 medals.
27:41.6
alam mo, naiyak ako.
27:42.7
Yun na yung reward niya,
27:43.9
So, sinamahan ko siya sa Globe.
27:45.3
Kasi ako rin magbabayad
27:50.1
Tapos, para makatipid,
27:51.3
doon na ako sa plan.
27:52.1
Yung konti na lang dadagdag mo,
27:54.2
Nung ina-unbox niya yung,
27:55.9
ano, yung first iPhone niya.
27:57.8
Mangiyak-ingayak siya sa tua.
28:03.2
Turning 13, this October.
28:06.1
Tapos, doon ko nakita,
28:07.6
parang naano yung puso ko na
28:10.7
I might have missed a lot of time
28:12.4
with her growing up.
28:13.7
Kaya yan gusto ko lalong bumawi
28:17.3
Gusto ko mas makasama ko pa sila.
28:20.4
yung feeling ng isang ama na,
28:23.8
Mga sino-sino na magte-text dito.
28:27.4
Talagang binigyan ko na siya ng freedom.
28:29.8
Kasi responsibility yun, eh.
28:31.3
Yes, correct, correct.
28:33.1
niyakap niya ako talaga.
28:36.1
Ang sarap ng yakap ng anak.
28:39.0
Alam mo yung nakasandal sila sa'yo.
28:40.5
It's kayong joy, kakaiba, di ba?
28:42.1
Nakasandal sila sa'yo.
28:43.4
Tapos, sa inyong magulang,
28:45.8
nakasalalay buhay nila.
28:47.4
And that is the greatest privilege.
28:49.7
Ako, pag sinasabi ko sa ano,
28:51.6
pagkausap ko naman yung mga constituents ko
28:53.3
during programs, projects,
28:55.7
pag nandun ako sa distrito,
28:57.6
sinabi ko sa kanila,
28:58.5
the greatest social service
29:00.0
one can provide the world
29:01.2
is not to become the president,
29:03.3
a senator, a congressman,
29:04.6
or a barangay captain.
29:05.5
It's to raise a good family.
29:07.8
Pag magawa mo yan,
29:09.1
nakapag-raise ka ng good family,
29:11.6
nakapagtaguhid ka ng pamilya,
29:13.4
at yung mga anak mo maayos,
29:15.1
that's more than enough contribution to the world
29:17.7
that you will live in the future.
29:19.7
Yan talaga yung totoo mong legacy.
29:21.2
Yung family mo, yung mga anak mo.
29:23.0
And for me, yun talaga.
29:24.5
Hindi mo kailangan mag-rally.
29:27.4
Hindi mo kailangan magpasa ng batas na hanip.
29:31.0
Hindi mo kailangan ng something monumental.
29:35.5
Mataguhid mo ng pamilya mo,
29:36.7
whether single parent or not,
29:39.3
And imagine if all of us will do that,
29:41.1
this will be a better place.
29:43.5
Si Ariana, anong nakikita mo kay Ariana?
29:45.8
Magaling mag-drawing,
29:47.3
Oo, mana sa mama niya.
29:48.5
Mama sa mama niya.
29:50.1
And ano, grabe siya mag-focus.
29:51.6
Ano yung pag ano?
29:52.3
Grabe siya mag-focus.
29:54.8
Siguro sa dalawang babae,
29:56.2
baka ito yung mas inclined.
29:58.1
Baka mag-showbiz,
29:59.2
or go into the arts.
30:01.7
Si Alexandra, si Alex, di masyado?
30:07.7
Parang ganun yung nakikita ko.
30:08.7
Kasi dapat may early sign eh.
30:10.8
I can be wrong ah,
30:11.6
pero yung gusto na nakikita ko sa discipline,
30:13.5
tsaka sa inclinations,
30:14.7
nakikita ko how they are the same
30:16.2
and how they are different.
30:18.2
Ano yung nakikita mo dito kay Cristiano?
30:20.6
Lahat ng naabot ko sa buhay,
30:26.8
He's five years old?
30:28.1
Kahit saan ko tingnan,
30:30.2
he's a better version of me.
30:32.7
And which elates me.
30:37.3
there's another upcoming member of the family.
30:41.1
There's a list of names na pinag-ano namin.
30:46.8
Medyo mahaba rin.
30:48.2
Excited na ba yung tatlo?
30:50.6
everybody gets a vote.
30:55.2
yung tatlong mga anak nyo,
30:57.4
are they excited?
30:59.7
Tapos kinakausap nila na yung Tommy.
31:02.2
Naalala ko taloy,
31:03.9
nung panganay namin,
31:05.2
sabi ng misis ko,
31:06.9
So ako magpapangalan siya.
31:11.3
Sige, siya pa rin.
31:15.0
Siya daw yung papangalan.
31:16.9
ako na dapat siya.
31:19.2
nilagay ko na lang pangalang ko,
31:21.6
Alfredo Cristiano Vargas IV.
31:27.4
Junior yung dad mo,
31:29.9
Tapos yung pangapat,
31:31.3
everybody gets a vote.
31:33.0
Ano mas gusto mo?
31:34.1
Nalang tatanongin,
31:36.4
One of your anniversaries,
31:37.7
pang ilang anniversary niyo ba ito?
31:39.8
Sinopresa ka ng wife mo
31:41.6
ng napakagandang portrait mo.
31:45.6
Naka-displace sa bahay.
31:46.1
Siya mismo ang nag-drawing.
31:48.9
Magaling siya eh.
31:50.1
Magaling talaga siya sa drawing.
31:52.3
of all the surprises,
31:53.8
yun yung na-appreciate ko eh.
31:55.5
Yung pinaghirapan sa sarili mong kamay.
31:58.4
Paano niya itago sa'yo?
32:00.5
kasi palagi akong wala sa bahay.
32:02.0
Tapos tinatago niya lang
32:03.0
sa isang sulok sa bahay.
32:06.6
How long did it take her
32:07.7
to finish the portrait?
32:10.0
matagal siya mag-drawing
32:10.8
kasi perfectionist siya.
32:12.6
sabi niya sa akin,
32:14.4
that's both her strength
32:15.6
and her weakness.
32:16.5
Strength na yung pagiging
32:17.8
perfectionist niya,
32:18.8
pero weakness niya rin
32:19.5
kasi matagal siya.
32:21.2
Mga rin may painting,
32:22.2
tapos ang ganda-ganda na
32:23.6
magkamali na siya.
32:25.2
buburuhin niya lahat.
32:26.4
May ganun siyang,
32:27.8
or doon sa drawing,
32:30.4
siguro mga one week,
32:32.2
talagang gusto niya
32:34.0
Nasorpresa ka ba doon
32:38.0
Kasi drawing na alam mo na
32:39.2
you're white rose.
32:42.3
it's there displayed sa bahay
32:43.4
where everybody can see it.
32:50.1
nakita ko yung picture mismo eh.
32:53.0
Nagkaroon mo ng show
32:53.9
with your girlfriend?
32:57.0
Pero huwag na natin
32:58.3
Hindi, hindi, hindi.
33:00.2
After all, this is past.
33:01.4
Pero it's okay, di ba?
33:04.1
Kapuso rin, di ba?
33:06.8
Pero ano naman yun eh,
33:10.7
Sino doon sa kanila?
33:13.4
Parang lahat yung
33:14.2
true love talaga si Yasmin.
33:17.8
Lahat naman yung dumadaan ka
33:19.0
sa gano'ng stage eh, di ba?
33:20.6
Kasi nang gano'n,
33:21.3
nagka-girlfriend ako,
33:24.2
Studyante pa lang ako.
33:26.9
assumption yung girlfriend ko.
33:28.6
Tapos lahat na yun,
33:30.3
hanggang sa maging
33:30.9
high school, college,
33:31.9
hanggang sa career.
33:34.0
Iba-iba yun, di ba?
33:35.1
Pero grateful din naman ako
33:36.1
kasi I learned a lot of things.
33:37.7
Tapos na heartbroken na rin tayo.
33:39.9
Naging kayo ba ni D?
33:41.2
Ay hindi, hindi po.
33:43.8
Alam ko naging kayo eh, di ba?
33:49.2
Talagang hinungulin, no?
33:52.7
Fish bump tayo dyan, dito.
33:55.7
Talagang siya, no?
33:57.7
Anong isang bagay
33:58.7
na magpapayak sa'yo?
33:59.6
You know, may family.
34:01.4
And ano, yung siyabi ko kanina,
34:03.1
yung the memory of my parents.
34:05.0
Kasi I still look for them eh.
34:07.3
hindi ko alam gagawin.
34:08.3
I pray to them, no?
34:12.4
I got to work naman palagi.
34:14.5
Tapos ako palagi,
34:16.3
nandito ako sa sitwasyon niya yun,
34:17.5
anong gagawin ng tatay ko?
34:19.3
Or kung kauso ko yung tatay ko,
34:20.6
ano yung advice niya sa akin?
34:22.5
So, nare-remake ko naman eh.
34:24.0
Kasi nakuha ko naman
34:24.9
yung philosophies nilang dalawa.
34:27.1
ang papayak sa akin,
34:32.6
When was the last time umiya ka?
34:35.0
who was the best friend of my father,
34:38.4
died si Tito Jesse,
34:41.3
humagulgol ako nun.
34:42.3
And namimiss ko si Tito Jesse,
34:45.1
second daddy ko siya.
34:47.7
I lost another father in him.
34:52.0
Kung i-rewind ang buhay mo,
34:54.0
anong gusto mong balikan?
34:55.8
there were choices na I made,
34:58.6
there were times sa buhay ko
35:00.9
or pinalampas ko yung opportunity.
35:03.1
Siguro gusto ko kausapin sa sarili ko na
35:04.8
pag may opportunity na dumating,
35:09.7
Kahit hindi ka sigurado,
35:12.4
ang natutunan ko,
35:14.4
yung mga regret sa buhay ko
35:16.4
nang gagaling sa mga opportunities
35:18.4
na hindi ko nabigyan ng,
35:19.5
hindi hindi ko nabigyan ng,
35:22.1
So, yun yung sasabihin ko sa sarili ko.
35:28.6
So, ako sabihin ko siya,
35:32.7
yung bata pa ako,
35:33.5
I was scared to try on things.
35:35.5
Yung marami akong,
35:36.9
immature pa ako mag-isip.
35:38.8
Yun ang babalik ako.
35:39.9
You were in your teens
35:41.4
na maghiwalay ang parents mo.
35:43.8
Hindi ka ba nag-rebelde?
35:48.1
Tapos, umiiwi ako ng mga 4am
35:50.6
galit na galit sa akin yung mother ko.
35:52.2
Tapos, pinagsasarhan ako ng,
35:56.5
sa garahe ako natutulog.
35:58.2
Tapos, pag-ising ko,
35:58.9
pinapapak na ako ng lamok.
36:01.5
Bahawal na ako pumasok
36:02.6
pag hindi ako sumunod sa curfew.
36:04.2
Yung mga ganun lang.
36:06.0
Kasi, doon ko nakuha sa barkada ko,
36:07.8
sa high school barkada ko,
36:09.3
yung sense of safety and belonging.
36:11.5
Hindi ko alam kung masasabi kong fortunately,
36:13.3
pero siguro by chance,
36:15.5
Kasi yung iba sa mga barkada ko,
36:17.1
we're also going through the same thing.
36:19.6
naghiwalay din parents nila.
36:21.1
So, nagkaka-relate kami.
36:23.2
nandun yung iba namin support system
36:26.4
hindi sumasalo sa amin.
36:27.5
Pero, nung college ako,
36:28.7
yung sumalo na sa akin talaga,
36:33.8
bago ka pala nag, ano,
36:35.1
before you entered Chobes,
36:37.2
you were into theater acting na?
36:39.2
Oo, so nauna yung teatro.
36:40.8
Nauna yung teatro talaga.
36:42.0
Although, that time,
36:42.6
nagmamodel-model na rin ako,
36:44.0
nagiging promodizer na ako
36:47.7
Racket na yun for me, eh.
36:50.8
yung foundation ko.
36:52.8
Anong kulang sa isang Alfred Vargas?
36:54.7
I'm turning 44 na,
36:59.8
I'm a middle age man,
37:02.8
I'm realizing na,
37:04.4
pwedeng gawin lahat
37:08.2
you choose your lane,
37:09.3
tapos pumili ka na doon
37:10.1
na mag-concentrate
37:11.1
until the next decades
37:13.3
Kung meron lang 30 hours a day,
37:15.1
baka mas marami akong nagawa.
37:16.7
24 hours a day lang tayo.
37:19.1
nakukulangan pa rin ako sa oras.
37:22.0
eh, yan talaga problema naman
37:23.7
Lahat ng mga may gusto
37:30.2
producing stage plays
37:31.6
before in college.
37:34.2
Pero, ano naman yun,
37:35.1
on a very small scale.
37:37.7
pero nag-enjoy ako.
37:38.9
na-realize ko kasi,
37:42.2
to be a director.
37:44.6
yun yung path ng artista
37:45.5
yung maging director.
37:47.5
wala sa skill set ko
37:48.6
yung maging director.
37:50.2
nasa skill set ko yung
37:52.5
Because you're more
37:53.2
of a businessman.
37:58.3
Yung kausap mo yung
38:00.5
yung creative team.
38:01.6
Tapos, may project kayo.
38:03.5
I've failed so many times
38:05.9
When did you start?
38:06.9
I've produced mga
38:08.7
Ang kumita pa lang dun,
38:09.9
isang pelikula pa lang.
38:11.1
Ito yung tagpuan?
38:12.5
ito yung tagpuan.
38:13.3
Did not make money.
38:17.9
Yung kay Andres Bonifant.
38:18.4
Where you won as best actor.
38:29.7
Kasi hanggang ngayon,
38:30.5
kumikita pa rin yung supremo.
38:32.5
pinapalabas pa rin namin
38:36.4
ano naman sa box office.
38:39.0
I have yet to produce something
38:43.1
right now is not a good time.
38:45.7
Anong importante sa'yo?
38:46.9
Box office award?
38:49.7
magandang pelikula.
38:50.6
Yan yung legacy ko.
38:52.4
Dapat magandang pelikula.
38:54.4
lahat ng pelikulang
38:56.6
Puro magaganda eh.
38:59.9
I agree with that.
39:02.2
maganda naman yung
39:03.2
naproduce kong mga pelikula.
39:05.2
That's the most important.
39:07.4
ang puhunan mo dito.
39:10.4
marami silang aabangan.
39:11.7
May aabangan silang
39:14.6
Naud po tayo ng Piyeta.
39:17.5
sa isang pelikulang
39:18.4
kasama si Nora Onor,
39:22.8
It warrants a chance.
39:23.3
At bukod sa Alfred Vargas,
39:25.1
may Nora Onor ka,
39:26.2
may Gina Alahar ka,
39:27.4
may Jacqueline Jose ka,
39:30.1
May Ina Raymundo pa.
39:36.2
Okay siya talaga.
39:37.7
Kahit wala ako ron,
39:38.9
I would love na makita
39:48.9
Marisa siya sana.
39:55.3
ng mga malalaking stars.
39:56.5
Dingdong at Marian,
39:58.3
Tapos feeling ko,
40:00.4
yung Pilipino sa sinihan.
40:06.6
talagang dapat abangan
40:07.7
ng mga Nora Onor fans.
40:10.5
niyang gaganap dito
40:12.6
She plays my mom.
40:18.1
yung karakter ko.
40:21.3
is about that journey
40:22.3
yung nakalaya ako.
40:25.3
yung hahanapin ko
40:29.7
only to find out,
40:31.6
may Alzheimer na.
40:34.2
kahit magkita na kami
40:36.1
meron pang travel
40:38.2
kung yung to discover
40:40.7
and where my mother is.
40:44.4
kailangan ko pang makapasok
40:47.0
at kaluluwan niya.
40:48.8
it's a very, very,
40:49.8
one of the best films
40:52.0
Magaling ding director.
40:54.0
Nag-can na yan eh.
40:55.0
Ilang beses na siya
40:55.7
nag-can film festival.
40:59.6
ako happy na rin ako
41:00.5
may singhit ako sa kasaysayan
41:02.4
nakapagpabalik kay ate Guy
41:05.8
gawa na siya ng gawa ulit.
41:08.2
Paano mo napapayag si Guy
41:09.5
to do this movie?
41:10.7
Eh, niligawan ko.
41:12.8
Who wrote the story?
41:17.8
na ginawa ni Isberhel.
41:19.7
Mag-ibang-iba total.
41:21.9
Kasi this is about
41:23.5
Mother and son to.
41:25.0
it's original concept
41:26.2
by director Adolf Alex
41:27.5
na grateful din ako
41:30.0
may concept siyang ganito
41:31.1
na matagal na niyang gusto gawin.
41:32.9
May pasok din sa character ko.
41:35.1
If your mom and dad
41:36.7
are watching right now,
41:38.1
anong minsayo mo sa kanina?
41:40.1
I hope I'm making them proud.
41:46.5
Anong namimiss mo sa mami mo?
41:47.8
Sa daddy ko yung yakap niya.
41:49.3
Tsaka yung words of wisdom niya.
41:51.9
Sa mami ko yung presence niya.
41:55.1
Kapag may nang-aapi sa akin,
41:56.9
yung mami ko yung palaban, eh.
41:58.9
Yung feeling ko yung
41:59.9
nasasanda lang ko yung mami ko
42:01.1
pag may nang-aapi.
42:02.0
Yung my mom gives me strength.
42:04.3
Kapag may Christmas,
42:05.9
namimiss ko yung mami ko.
42:07.8
Yung namimiss ko sa mami ko
42:09.6
yung reassuring words niya.
42:11.7
That she believes in me.
42:13.6
And she must be very, very proud
42:15.0
despite na hindi mo tinupad
42:16.6
ang pangarap niya maging lawyer ka.
42:19.3
kasi after two weeks,
42:21.3
nag-usap na kami.
42:22.0
Nung napanood na niya ako sa
42:23.2
sa pangako sa'yo,
42:24.8
yung Jericho Christine.
42:25.7
First TV series mo yun.
42:26.5
Medyo umano na siya.
42:27.5
O, napacify ko na siya.
42:29.6
Sabi niya sa akin,
42:31.3
no need to become a lawyer.
42:34.2
Pero ang hiling ko sa'yo,
42:35.3
sana mag-graduate studies ka.
42:37.1
Tinupad mo na ba?
42:40.4
Kasi I'm pursuing my PhD naman ngayon.
42:43.4
Ayun pa lang, congratulations.
42:45.5
ihahabol ko lang.
42:46.5
I have to give credit to
42:49.8
Magagaling ang mga staff ko.
42:51.4
Magagaling mga staff ko.
42:54.0
I try to get the best people
42:56.0
who share the same principles na I do.
42:58.5
Pero yung mga staff ko magagaling
42:59.8
kasi sila rin sumasalo
43:01.0
ng mga pagkukulang ko.
43:02.4
And pag magaling na kasi yung back office mo,
43:06.3
Yung half the job is done.
43:11.7
hindi ka naman nag-iisa eh.
43:13.0
Lahat kayo tulong-tulong.
43:14.1
So yun yung gusto ko,
43:15.1
yung emphasize ko na
43:16.2
yung sobrang grateful ko
43:19.3
Na parang pamilya na rin sa amin.
43:21.4
Minsahin mo sa mga anak mo?
43:25.7
and to Cristiano,
43:27.8
Follow your dreams.
43:28.9
Kung mga ngarap rin lang kayo,
43:31.0
mga ngarap na kayo ng malaki.
43:32.6
And pagdating ng araw,
43:34.9
hindi madali yan.
43:36.7
Okay lang to fail.
43:38.0
To fail, to fail.
43:39.2
What's important is
43:40.5
you do not give up.
43:41.7
Okay, tas balang araw,
43:42.8
if you don't give up,
43:44.0
mararating nyo rin yung taas.
43:46.0
Ito na yung billing ko sa inyo.
43:47.3
Pag narating nyo na yung taas,

lahat nung nababasa natin,
44:40.9
lahat ng bad news,
44:42.0
lahat ng mga crazy news,
44:44.2
lahat ng negative news.
44:46.1
Ano na lang tayo,
44:46.8
let's spread kindness.
44:49.6
Kindness begets kindness.
44:51.6
Huwag nating kalimutan,
44:52.6
yung manager mo si Nanay Lolit.
44:55.6
Ang dami kong naabot dahil kay Nanay Lolit.
44:58.6
And to everybody who helped me along the way.
45:00.6
Love na love ko yan si Nanay.
45:04.6
let's spread kindness.
45:08.6
yung parang nagkukulang ngayon, no?
45:12.6
pag nag-spread tayo ng kindness,
45:15.6
pag nagbibigay tayo ng kindness,
45:17.6
nagsuspread pa yan tenfold eh.
45:20.6
huwag nating kalimutan na
45:24.6
a simple act of kindness can make
45:27.6
another one's day,
45:29.6
another one's gloomy day,
