00:57.3
Mabuti naman ako, kuya Boy.
01:00.3
Ang tagal-tagal-tagal natin hindi nagkikita.
01:02.5
Pero may mga klase ng pagiging magkaibigan na kahit hindi nagkikita, magkadugtong ang puso.
01:08.3
Kunting pagbabalik tanaw lang, nakita ko si Michelle.
01:11.2
This is before she left for El Salvador.
01:13.6
You know, I was supposed to do some sessions with her on Q&A, which I do for a lot of beauty queens in the country.
01:20.7
But I said, you don't need it.
01:23.1
Pero sabi ko, haluan mo lang ng konting...
01:28.2
Noong lumabas na siya yung 20, final 20, sa swimwear, sabi ko, yan!
01:34.9
Actually, nagulat din ako. Kinikilabutan ako.
01:37.8
I was watching her.
01:39.1
Sabi ko, hindi ko nakita ito kay Michelle ngayon.
01:42.9
Kasi lagi niya sinasabi sa akin, I'll just surprise you, ma.
01:46.9
You don't have to know. You'll see.
01:49.5
I was just so happy.
01:50.4
Actually, I'm very happy with Michelle.
01:53.3
My daughter really worked very hard.
01:56.0
Yung expectation ko.
01:57.3
Nalagpasan niya. Sabi ko, wow.
02:00.3
And the public shared that opinion with you.
02:02.8
Hindi naman tayo mailusyon na bansa.
02:07.7
Kaya marami ang nagnais na sana makapasok siya doon sa top 5 because of that amazing, extraordinary performance.
02:15.4
Anak, sabi ko, pag gumawa ka ng trabaho mo,
02:19.0
pag ginawa mo ang trabaho mo, kailangan meron kang marka.
02:21.7
Iba talaga pag original ka. Hindi ka nila kakalimutan.
02:28.3
Nung mga kapanahonan, that you were a supermodel, you were on top of your career, may nagtuturo sa'yo nun?
02:34.5
Maglakad, magproject.
02:36.6
Self-study lahat kasi tinitingnan ko yung ginagawa nila.
02:40.6
Sabi ko, kailangan ibahin ko yung style ko para mapuna ako.
02:44.7
Kahit yung pagta-turn ko, pinag-aralan ko talaga yun.
02:47.4
Can you still do it now?
02:49.3
May tayo ka eh. Nakakaiba. May Milani. Dito ka nga. And this is the camp.
02:54.0
How did you do? Yan!
02:57.3
Mahilig silang mag-miss na ganyan.
03:00.2
I want to really look tall.
03:05.5
Mahilig akong pumitik.
03:09.9
Pumipitik na ako noon.
03:11.7
At yung turning ko, pitik.
03:13.4
At saka ikaw, pag lalabas mo halimbawa, ikot, yung gumagano'n ka.
03:19.3
At naiiwan yung...
03:23.0
Pina-practice mo talaga yun?
03:24.2
Oo, pinapractice ko yun.
03:25.9
Do you see, ma'am? Until now?
03:27.3
She can really pose.
03:28.3
Oh, no, she can. No, she show me, she show me.
03:31.3
It was fantastic, no.
03:33.3
How does the turn happen?
03:34.3
No, it's ano lang. It's like this.
03:37.3
It's very important. That's what I told Michelle, your posture.
03:42.3
You have to look tall and you have to feel it.
03:45.3
And then when you walk, ano lang talagang taking my time so people will see me.
03:52.3
And that smile of the girl.
03:55.3
Hindi ko malilimutan yun.
03:57.3
Are you watching, Adam?
03:58.3
Oh, yeah. No, I'm mesmerized.
04:00.3
This is beautiful.
04:06.3
Kunikwentuhan mo ba ang mga anak mo sa iyong karera bilang modelo, bilang beauty queen?
04:11.3
With my children, hindi ka nila maramdaman na celebrity ako eh.
04:15.3
Because I'm always a mother to them, a friend.
04:18.3
Bulat nalang si Michelle nung nalaman niya supermodel of the world ako.
04:22.3
Tapos New York face of the 80.
04:24.3
Nakita nalang nila yung mga cover.
04:26.3
Like even my son doesn't know anything about me.
04:29.3
So how are you reacting now that you're slowly learning who your mother was and is?
04:35.3
You know, when you're growing up, you kind of get glimpses of it.
04:38.3
But having to have the opportunity to really see how she was and how she is now,
04:45.3
really is inspiring to someone like me who's, even though not following in the footsteps of pageantry,
04:51.3
is following in the footsteps of potential modeling.
04:56.3
So have you had modeling jobs in the last few weeks?
05:04.3
Last few weeks, we've been more of getting set up with the agencies.
05:10.3
Gigs, they're gonna be coming up pretty soon.
05:12.3
You're getting to be the crush of a lot of girls.
05:17.3
You know, a lot of girls are talking about Abraham.
05:20.3
And how are you reacting to this?
05:23.3
You know, I just take it in humble steps.
05:25.3
I just don't want to, you know, give a wrong impression.
05:28.3
I mean, again, these are blessings.
05:30.3
And I'm just very happy with the love that I'm receiving from them.
05:34.3
And I really just want to share that.
05:37.3
You know, when you go to a place and people start to recognize you,
05:40.3
how are people reacting to you?
05:42.3
How are people treating you?
05:44.3
Can I have a photo with you?
05:47.3
Just straight to that.
05:49.3
So I'm flattered by that, you know.
05:51.3
It's nothing bad.
05:52.3
It's just, you know, I really get surprised.
05:55.3
Because when I was here four years ago, it wasn't like that.
05:57.3
You know, I mean, a lot has changed.
05:59.3
And for the better.
06:01.3
And even before this, I gather that you traveled the world because of the mission?
06:07.3
I traveled part of that, part of tennis, part of what my parents have done throughout their years.
06:14.3
My mother travels so much and my father does as well.
06:17.3
So it's just a combination of family and my own work.
06:21.3
In your last travels, what did you learn?
06:25.3
I learned that I can't assume what a general amount of people are.
06:30.3
I can't be racial.
06:31.3
I can't be this or that.
06:32.3
Everybody is different.
06:34.3
And when you talk about being yourself, like who is yourself deep down in your core,
06:40.3
that really stands out to me because it's true.
06:42.3
Everybody is different.
06:43.3
But what is the difference that catches everybody's attention?
06:48.3
And you know, that's just what I noticed about many of the people that I've bumped into in my life of traveling,
06:53.3
that everybody has an intention.
06:55.3
It's an intelligent, incredible story that I wish I could just magnify for others to see.
07:00.3
But you can only do so much.
07:01.3
And honestly, I just take it as a learning experience for myself.
07:05.3
What makes it different is your truth because you have a unique, peculiar story.
07:11.3
Steve Jobs was the one who said that don't be caught in that trap of living the life of someone else
07:18.3
because you are who you are and we should be proud of who we are.
07:23.3
And you know, that's just something that I've just learned.
07:25.3
I've just been really focusing on like in a deep way.
07:30.3
If we're really getting personal, I mean, it's funny how people say to me sometimes,
07:34.3
like these are just friends and such.
07:36.3
It's like, oh, you're trying to be someone different, someone you're not.
07:38.3
It's like, well, to be honest, I mean, we have those kind of moments.
07:42.3
We want to be someone who we believe is what we want to become,
07:47.3
not what we think others don't want us to become.
07:50.3
That's just like the real challenge.
07:52.3
Totally understand that.
07:54.3
You just challenge us, test us, and you just got to just show them that this is who I am.
07:57.3
Right now, you know, I'm sure a lot of girls are watching.
07:59.3
I would say, Abraham is so guapo.
08:04.3
Remember the last time you were in the studio?
08:06.3
And then when you guys left, everybody was still saying, oh my God, isn't he just so good looking?
08:11.3
I thought they were saying, oh, isn't she so good looking?
08:15.3
They were talking about Abraham.
08:16.3
Of course, Michelle is somebody that guys in Gym A7 know because she's been there for quite a while.
08:24.3
Abraham is so guapo.
08:27.3
No, it's definitely something I don't want to squander.
08:30.3
I want to show them that I'm the son of Melanie.
08:34.3
You want to put that into good use and you want to work hard.
08:37.3
And Kuya Boy, he's not just good looking.
08:41.3
And he knows how to share the gospel as well.
08:44.3
And I'm happy when my children do serve and spread and share the Word of God.
08:55.3
Let's say something about Christmas.
08:57.3
We're going to talk about Christmas.
08:59.3
Your most memorable Christmas, as a child as a young girl.
09:03.3
I mean, what is the Christmas that you'll never forget?
09:07.3
It's because it's really important for her, my mommy, that the później marahthree
09:12.3
And we only share food.
09:14.3
Simple ingredients, right?
09:15.3
Hamon , chocolate , sopas , ches comforto, queso...?
09:22.3
That's all she really wants.
09:23.3
Talagang hinahanda ng mami ko hanggang sa lumaki ako.
09:26.0
Pero ang talagang sabi ng mami ko,
09:28.2
I want, basta 24 of December,
09:32.4
kailangan dito ka.
09:33.4
Kahit na nasa Europa,
09:34.6
ako talagang, I make it a point na nandito ako sa Pilipinas.
09:38.9
Para lang saluhan ang mama ko.
09:41.6
So, tatlo kami nagsasalo lang.
09:44.6
Pero, nandiyon, nakikita ko mami ko, masaya.
09:48.1
Basta happy mami ko, masaya na ako.
09:50.2
Pag Pasko, maliban sa mami, maliban sa Noche Buena,
09:53.9
nung ikaw naman naging nanay,
09:55.5
anong klase ng Pasko?
09:56.8
It's really nice, mas happy kasi
09:58.7
my husband, when it comes to Christmas,
10:01.5
sa kanya lang ako natutoy yung regalo na
10:03.8
meron na sa Disperas pa lang,
10:06.1
meron pa peanuts,
10:08.0
kung ano yung American style.
10:10.4
So, kaya sabi kong gano'n,
10:12.5
iba, iba naman ngayon ang tradition namin.
10:16.1
Mimilani, pag binabalikan mo ang buhay mo,
10:20.2
ano yung matatawag mong
10:22.3
the highs and the lows, you know,
10:24.5
the highlights of your life?
10:26.9
The highlights is having my children.
10:29.8
Pag ako nangangana,
10:30.6
ito yung blessing sa akin yun.
10:33.8
pag nasasaktan ako,
10:35.6
pag ako umibig kasi, bigay eh.
10:38.0
I always give my best.
10:39.6
Nakita namin yun.
10:41.4
Sabi nga nila, walang preno,
10:44.8
Siyempre, pag magmahal kayo,
10:45.9
bibigay mo lahat.
10:47.4
But, pag ako tumalikot,
10:50.2
So, ibig sabihin na puno na ako.
10:52.7
But, as much as possible,
10:54.7
talagang nagbibigay sa akin ng kaligayahan.
10:58.1
Ang tanong ko sa iyo ay highlights
10:59.7
ng iyong buhay at karera.
11:01.8
Ang sabi mo mga anak,
11:06.0
Yun naman ang pangarap ko, Kuya Boy, eh.
11:08.3
Nung meron akong pamilya ko,
11:11.3
I came from a broken home.
11:13.0
I really wanted a strong marriage
11:17.7
But, yun ang mahalaga sa akin.
11:20.2
You made this country proud.
11:21.5
But, more than that,
11:22.6
you made a lot of people proud
11:24.4
by just being you.
11:26.3
I really do thank you.
11:28.7
Talaga, thank you all
11:29.9
sa lahat na nangyari sa buhay ko.
11:32.3
Naging parte sila
11:33.2
sa magandang nangyari sa buhay ko.
11:35.9
And, I also would like to thank everybody
11:38.8
for supporting my daughter.
11:41.3
Talagang yung nakita ko yung pagmamahal
11:43.2
at supportan ng bawat Pilipino.
11:45.7
Grateful po ako sa lahat.
11:47.9
Sa iyo, Kuya Boy,
11:48.8
you have been so nice.
11:53.9
I'm just so grateful.
11:55.4
Kaya, blessed kayo eh.
11:57.3
ano ang Christmas wish mo?
12:03.3
wala sanang gulo sa mundo.
12:06.3
Sana nagmamahalan tayo.
12:08.4
Because love is very
12:09.9
important to me in life.
12:14.1
That makes me a different person.
12:17.8
Mimi, dito sa palabasan na ito,
12:19.0
there was a discussion I had
12:20.8
with Senator Pia and Senator Alan.
12:24.2
May mga pagkakataon pala talaga,
12:25.7
and I'd like to share this with you also, Abraham,
12:27.9
that we ask ourselves,
12:30.1
do you want to be happy
12:31.1
or do you want to be right?
12:33.4
I will choose right.
12:34.9
Because, you know,
12:35.6
when you do right,
12:36.6
you will feel happy.
12:39.8
Just to end this conversation,
12:42.6
is it possible for Adam to join us?
12:45.0
People, thank you so much.
12:47.8
Thank you very much.
12:48.7
And Merry Christmas.
12:51.4
You know, I think if there was one word
12:52.5
I used to describe you,
12:57.6
I appreciate the friendship
12:58.9
that you've given my wife.
13:03.9
but the last time I saw you,
13:04.9
I think was, what,
13:08.6
But I wish you well,
13:10.0
and I wish you the best.
13:13.5
let's just greet everybody
13:14.5
