02:42 (speaking in foreign language)
02:48 I'm so happy that we're all here.
02:50 (speaking in foreign language)
02:54 You cannot say no.
03:12 (speaking in foreign language)
03:16 (speaking in foreign language)
03:20 I remember one time Ryan told me.
03:25 (speaking in foreign language)
03:29 When we were young.
03:32 (speaking in foreign language)
03:36 And then (speaking in foreign language)
03:44 (speaking in foreign language)
03:48 He has to be firm.
03:51 - Right.
03:52 (speaking in foreign language)
03:53 No, you cannot get it now.
03:55 - Yeah, that's part of raising children.
03:57 53 or some say 55 years in the business.
04:00 (speaking in foreign language)
04:01 When you were eight years old.
04:03 (speaking in foreign language)
04:11 - That starred Miss Gina Alahal.
04:14 Wow, directed by Lourdes Guillen.
04:16 You've been in the business for 53, 55 years as an actor.
04:20 - Yes.
04:21 (speaking in foreign language)
04:25 What have you learned?
04:28 The most important lessons you learned
04:30 as in life, in love, in your career.
04:34 (speaking in foreign language)
04:38 55 years.
04:40 (speaking in foreign language)
04:44 - Is that more important than talent?
04:49 - Yeah.
04:51 Yeah, and I always say that.
04:54 (speaking in foreign language)
04:58 You're full of talent,
05:05 (speaking in foreign language)
05:06 because you're full of attitude.
05:08 (speaking in foreign language)
05:12 You're so,
05:17 (speaking in foreign language)
05:18 self entitlement.
05:19 Everybody's uncomfortable in front of you.
05:23 (speaking in foreign language)
05:27 One of the boys,
05:29 one of,
05:31 (speaking in foreign language)
05:32 and also because making movies,
05:34 making teleseryes takes a whole village.
05:38 - Exactly.
05:39 (speaking in foreign language)
05:43 And also, I just want to add, boy,
05:51 (speaking in foreign language)
05:55 (speaking in foreign language)
05:58 I remember one time, I was directing a show,
06:07 and (speaking in foreign language)
06:11 So I decided for myself,
06:17 (speaking in foreign language)
06:21 Of course, (speaking in foreign language)
06:26 (speaking in foreign language)
06:30 So (speaking in foreign language)
06:35 (speaking in foreign language)
06:39 - In the last 55 years,
07:01 (speaking in foreign language)
07:04 (laughing)
07:08 (speaking in foreign language)
07:14, okay.
07:15 (speaking in foreign language)
07:43 Life in general,
07:45 the most important lesson you learned about life
07:48 in the last, you know, how many decades?
07:51 (speaking in foreign language)
07:56 I think that's powerful.
08:04 (speaking in foreign language)
08:08 Do not impose anything on anyone
08:11 that you wouldn't impose on yourself.
08:14 (speaking in foreign language)
08:15 Okay, let's talk about acting.
08:17 (speaking in foreign language)
08:19 I look forward to this conversation.
08:20 (speaking in foreign language)
08:22 That's my delusion to be an actor.
08:25 (laughing)
08:27 What is it?
08:29 You're one of the best actors in this country.
08:31 (speaking in foreign language)
08:35 (speaking in foreign language)
08:40 (speaking in foreign language)
08:44 But you've worked with the best.
08:49 - I've worked with the best.
08:50 I'm so blessed.
08:52 And--
08:52 (speaking in foreign language)
08:56 - Did you work with Celso?
09:05 - Celso and Castillo, yeah.
09:07 (speaking in foreign language)
09:09 - And Elwood?
09:10 - Elwood.
09:11 - The poet.
09:12 - Yes.
09:13 (speaking in foreign language)
09:16 Yeah.
09:17 - So in the beginning, you were dependent on your director.
09:19 - Dependent on them.
09:20 And then, (speaking in foreign language)
09:23 Actors Workshop Foundation.
09:25 - Okay.
09:25 - And (speaking in foreign language)
09:30 to take care of ourselves.
09:31 (speaking in foreign language)
09:35 (speaking in foreign language)
09:39 Now, just in case, in the absence of instructions
09:43 from the director.
09:44 (speaking in foreign language)
09:48 (speaking in foreign language)
09:53 It can be learned.
09:54 - Yes.
09:55 (speaking in foreign language)
09:59 (speaking in foreign language)
10:03 - I know, there is an unforgettable scene.
10:13 (speaking in foreign language)
10:17 (speaking in foreign language)
10:26 There is a powerful, powerful line.
10:30 Okay, (speaking in foreign language)
10:35 What is your scene?
10:41 (speaking in foreign language)
10:45 (speaking in foreign language)
10:49 Okay.
10:53 (speaking in foreign language)
10:57 - Somehow.
11:01 (speaking in foreign language)
11:05 I'll try it.
11:06 (speaking in foreign language)
11:15 (speaking in foreign language)
11:19 (audience applauding)
11:45 (laughing)
11:47 (speaking in foreign language)
11:51 What were you thinking, Gina, when you were doing it?
12:05 (speaking in foreign language)
12:09 What were you thinking?
12:12 Because you were doing it now as Gina Alahard today.
12:15 - Okay, since it was so random, (speaking in foreign language)
12:21 I just tried to remember (speaking in foreign language)
12:37 I just remembered that.
12:41 But then, as I was going,
12:45 (speaking in foreign language)
12:52 emotions, different emotions.
12:54 (speaking in foreign language)
12:57 Four, three.
12:58 (speaking in foreign language)
13:01 - Experience.
13:02 (laughing)
13:09 (speaking in foreign language)
13:10 - In the courtroom.
13:12 - Yes.
13:12 - Just go four, three, two, one, action.
13:14 (speaking in foreign language)
13:21 (speaking in foreign language)
13:25 (laughing)
13:48 (speaking in foreign language)
13:52 (laughing)
13:55 (speaking in foreign language)
14:06 You don't have to answer that.
14:10 (speaking in foreign language)
14:13 - I was mesmerized.
14:14 (laughing)
14:17 (speaking in foreign language)
14:18 Because I'm already surprised.
14:21 (speaking in foreign language)
14:23 - It's terrifying to be an actor.
14:25 But anyway.
14:26 (speaking in foreign language)
14:30 I always say, (speaking in foreign language)
14:31 It is tough, it is difficult (speaking in foreign language)
14:36 (speaking in foreign language)
14:41 But let's do fast talk.
14:45 (cheering)
14:47 Okay, we have two minutes Gina and our time begins now.
14:51 Acting, directing.
14:52 - Both.
14:53 - Fame or awards?
14:54 - Fame.
14:57 - Awards, talent fee.
14:58 - Talent fee.
15:01 - Beauty or talent?
15:03 - Beauty or talent?
15:04 Beauty.
15:05 (speaking in foreign language)
15:09 - Ability.
15:11 (speaking in foreign language)
15:13 - Both.
15:14 (speaking in foreign language)
15:18 - One word, describe the new generation of actors.
15:32 - Very fortunate.
15:33 - Describe Philippine cinema today.
15:35 - Fighting.
15:36 - Describe TV dramas.
15:40 - Flourishing.
15:41 - Describe new gen of directors.
15:44 - Oh, they're out of the box.
15:46 (speaking in foreign language)
15:50 - Learn or teach?
15:55 - Teach.
16:00 (speaking in foreign language)
16:03 - Mommy dearest.
16:07 (laughing)
16:09 - Joan Crawford.
16:10 (speaking in foreign language)
16:12 - All my life.
16:14 (speaking in foreign language)
16:16 - Gina Alajar presents.
16:18 - Wow, advise to your 17 year old self.
16:21 - Gina, I think you did well.
16:29 Just trust in God, just trust in God.
16:34 Continue trusting in God.
16:36 - Lights on or lights off?
16:37 - Off.
16:38 - Happiness or chocolates?
16:40 - Chocolates.
16:41 - Best time for happiness?
16:44 (clock ticking)
16:46 - The whole day.
16:47 (laughing)
16:50 - Come to think of it.
16:52 (speaking in foreign language)
16:56 (speaking in foreign language)
17:01 - Thank you so much because I have outlived my mother
17:10 for 12 years.
17:11 My mother died of breast cancer when she was 52
17:14 and I thought that she was very old already.
17:17 That's why.
17:18 (speaking in foreign language)
17:22 But now that I've reached 52
17:27 (speaking in foreign language)
17:31 (speaking in foreign language)
17:35 - That's right.
17:43 (clapping)
17:44 - That is good.
17:45 (speaking in foreign language)
17:49 - If you were to do your last project
17:52 and you were to cast five actors,
17:55 (speaking in foreign language)
17:59 (speaking in foreign language)
18:03 Alden Richards.
18:06 (speaking in foreign language)
18:15 Ryan Eigenman.
18:18 (speaking in foreign language)
18:21 Ryan and Jeffrey.
18:22 - Okay, I understand the children,
18:24 aside from them being great actors.
18:26 (speaking in foreign language)
18:29 (speaking in foreign language)
18:33 In the past teleseries that we did,
18:42 she's my lucky charm.
18:43 And (speaking in foreign language)
18:47 Very generous also.
18:51 (speaking in foreign language)
18:58 (speaking in foreign language)
19:02 (speaking in foreign language)
19:10 And recently we saw each other
19:20 and then (speaking in foreign language)
19:25 (speaking in foreign language)
19:29 He's a born again Christian
19:36 and he's very grateful with what God has given him.
19:41 - Alden Richards.
19:42 - See Alden is, I don't know,
19:44 I just have a soft spot for him.
19:46 - (speaking in foreign language)
19:47 We will look forward to that movie.
19:49 Gina, (speaking in foreign language)
19:52 How do you do very difficult confrontation scenes?
19:55 (speaking in foreign language)
19:59 But sometimes when I direct,
20:09 I try to get away with the usual.
20:12 (speaking in foreign language)
20:15 I try to do something.
20:17 (speaking in foreign language)
20:21 (speaking in foreign language)
20:24 There's a way of doing it,
20:41 but I'm guilty of hurting my co-actor also.
20:45 (speaking in foreign language)
20:50 Claire Castro.
20:51 (speaking in foreign language)
20:55 In the backhand is like this.
21:08 (speaking in foreign language)
21:12 One line, one line.
21:17 (speaking in foreign language)
21:21 Gina, I mean, we need another hour
21:29 to be able to do this conversation.
21:31 (speaking in foreign language)
21:33 Thank you very much.
21:34 Thank you so much.
21:35 (speaking in foreign language)
21:36 Thank you, thank you very much.
21:38 (speaking in foreign language)
21:38 I look forward to this moment and God bless you.
21:42 (speaking in foreign language)
21:46 (speaking in foreign language)
21:50 Thank you.
21:56 (speaking in foreign language)
21:57 (speaking in foreign language)
22:01 Thank you.
22:02 (speaking in foreign language)
22:06 God grant all the desires of your heart.
22:08 (speaking in foreign language)
22:12 Sure.
22:15 (speaking in foreign language)
22:19 Be kind, make your Nana and Tata proud.
22:26 Hashtag say thank you.
22:28 Let's talk again tomorrow.
22:29 Goodbye for now and God bless.
22:30 (upbeat music)
22:33 (audience applauding)
22:36 (upbeat music)
22:38 (upbeat music)
