00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Hi Chito, thank you very much for saying yes to this.
00:09 - Thank you very much for having me, Paul.
00:11 It's a pleasure.
00:12 - You know, when I heard
00:13 na kasama ka sa The Voice Generations,
00:17 hindi naman ako nagtaka,
00:19 kasi, I mean, of course, you're Chito Miranda,
00:22 pero ano yung, kumbaga,
00:24 ano yung factor na nagpa-oo sa'yo
00:27 para tanggapin mo ang The Voice?
00:29 - The biggest factor, I think, is my wife.
00:33 (laughs)
00:35 Kin-invince niya ako.
00:36 And I was reluctant to do it because, again,
00:40 I don't really, I'm not really comfortable
00:42 na maging part ng mainstream television
00:44 because I am, sobra annoyed ako sa sarili ko.
00:47 So I hate seeing myself,
00:49 mas lalo na to be on a platform so big.
00:52 So parang-
00:53 - Totoo ba 'to?
00:54 - Nag-aalangan ako.
00:55 Pero, so, yeah, so sabi niya,
00:58 you'll be fine.
00:59 Tapos, buti tinangap 'to because sobrang enjoy.
01:02 Music videos are fine,
01:04 pero when I see myself mag-giguest
01:06 sa mga kahit anong mainstream show,
01:07 parang, lalo na mga interviews,
01:09 talaga di talaga akong portable with that.
01:11 I'd rather just play and sing.
01:13 At least yung music video,
01:14 in a way, meron kaming control over it, eh.
01:17 So, in a way, I'm fine,
01:18 but I don't really watch it
01:19 kasi I'm easily annoyed with me.
01:22 So, that's the main reason.
01:24 - Totoo ba 'yan?
01:25 - Just like before this interview,
01:27 I said, "Feel free to edit everything,
01:29 every boring thing that I say."
01:30 Because I'm so, I just find myself so boring.
01:35 (laughs)
01:35 Sa totoo lang.
01:36 So, 'yan lang 'yan, 'yan lang 'yan.
01:38 Pero I appreciate that they trust 'yan.
01:41 - Alam mo, ako-
01:42 - I appreciate 'ko na tinitrust nila ako.
01:43 - Pero, babalik tayo sa The Voice.
01:46 Ano ba ang hinahanap mo
01:47 sa isang talent bilang isang coach?
01:52 - Ang hinahanap ko talaga ay,
01:56 syempre, given na maganda 'yung mga boses,
01:58 sanay na sanay naman ang mga Pilipino
02:00 sa mga kapwa Pilipino ng magaling kumanta.
02:03 Sanay sila sa mga biritera,
02:04 sanay sila sa mga biritera.
02:05 Parang kahit saan magpunta sa Pilipinas,
02:08 may magaling kumanta.
02:09 So, ang hinahanap ko, aside from that,
02:12 which is paranormal na sa Pilipinas na magaling,
02:15 nagahanap ko ng karisma.
02:18 'Yung talaga, you will root for this artist.
02:20 Madubalik marami mas magagaling sa kanya kumanta,
02:23 pero pag siya yung nag-perform,
02:26 may mararamdaman ka na something na,
02:29 it's something certain that uplifts you
02:32 or inspires you,
02:33 or basa, tas unique din
02:35 because I don't want to have another artist
02:38 na meron na tayo before.
02:39 Parang gano'n gusto ko.
02:40 'Yun, 'yun talaga, true to,
02:42 and syempre siguro third,
02:44 which I don't know,
02:45 hindi mo malalaman agad,
02:46 pero gusto ko sana hardworking.
02:48 Alam mo 'yon, never late,
02:51 andang makinig,
02:52 pero still--
02:53 - Professional.
02:54 - Professional, professional.
02:56 - Ano ba yung, sa tingin mo na gusto mong,
02:59 well, as a seasoned performer,
03:01 gusto mong i-impart sa kanila?
03:04 - Unang-unang talaga,
03:05 gusto ko talaga ma-realize nila,
03:08 which is, first of all, you should have fun.
03:11 It's, wala siyang sense kung di mo siya na-enjoy.
03:14 Walang sense gawin lahat ng ginagawa natin as performers
03:19 kung di ka naman masaya sa ginagawa.
03:20 So 'yun, gusto ko talaga mag-edit siya na.
03:22 Pero at the same time,
03:23 they need to have the discipline
03:26 and yung grit ba,
03:28 yung kung baga, aside from the discipline,
03:29 and doing what it takes,
03:31 meaning,
03:32 parokya's always on time,
03:34 we're always early,
03:36 even after 30 years of doing this,
03:38 talaga our managers make it a point to--
03:41 So 'yun, yung mga small things na ganyan,
03:42 and always, pag nag-rehearsal,
03:45 alam mo na 'yung gagawin mo,
03:46 alam mo 'yon, it matters to me as an artist para ganun.
03:50 Tapos, that's the discipline part.
03:53 And yung pangalawa naman, yung grit,
03:55 meaning,
03:57 yung tipong hindi susuko,
03:58 and--
03:59 but since they're having fun,
04:00 they don't care if they fail
04:01 because they're just having fun.
04:03 So 'yun, that's what happened with parokya.
04:05 Ang tagal namin before we made it big
04:07 because we were just enjoying ourselves,
04:09 and we never gave up, parang ganun.
04:11 And lagi ko sinasabi,
04:12 if you give up on this dream,
04:15 then it's not for you, parang ganun.
04:17 So, kunyari, may mga di matanggap,
04:18 or natalo, or whatever,
04:21 and they give up,
04:23 tama lang na mag-give up ka na
04:24 because this is not for you.
04:25 Pero 'pag one failure doesn't--
04:28 'tumbaga hindi ka natinag,
04:29 tama ba 'yung natinag?
04:30 Natinag, oo.
04:31 'Tumbaga tuluy-tuluy ka parin,
04:34 and nagawa mo 'yung dream mo,
04:38 then dapat lang kasi hindi ka nag-give up.
04:40 But again, it's not for everyone.
04:41 Sometimes, kahit hindi ka nag-give up,
04:42 it's--
04:43 minsan talaga, nothing happens,
04:45 but
04:46 mas may chance 'yung hindi nag-give up
04:47 kesa sa hindi nag-try it.
04:50 Dito ba sa The Voice Generations,
04:51 or yung being a coach, ano?
04:54 May nakikitaan ka ng
04:56 merong substance talaga,
04:57 at yung sa tingin mo,
05:00 that person will make it in the business.
05:02 May mga napili na po ako na
05:04 nakita ko may potential sila as performers.
05:07 Pero again, 'pagbaga sa Liga 1 stage,
05:09 nakita mo lang 'yung
05:10 physical attraction pa lang 'yan.
05:12 There's so much to know
05:13 'pagdating mo 'yung mukhasyang basagulero,
05:16 pero 'pag nakausap mo na 'tong nakatrabaho mo,
05:18 dumabalala mo na 'ibang pa pala 'yung
05:19 work ethic nito.
05:20 Dun lang namin malalaman 'yon.
05:22 Once we get the interactions there.
05:23 So, yeah, that's a start.
05:26 How they answer,
05:27 and how they address you,
05:28 how you talk to them with respect,
05:30 do they answer with respect,
05:32 pabalik 'di ba? Ganyan?
05:33 So, 'yun yung mga
05:35 medyo simulang pa lang na pakiramdaman.
05:37 Pero we'll get to know them more
05:40 as we proceed with the show.
05:42 And hopefully, makikita ko talaga na
05:44 "Galing nito talaga."
05:45 It's so interesting, mas lalo na
05:47 'yung dynamics. May mga kids,
05:48 may mga grown-ups,
05:50 everything about it is so interesting.
05:52 Tito, let's talk about personal stuff.
05:56 Okay.
05:59 We'll talk about your wife first.
06:01 Alam mo, for me,
06:03 napakalaking revelation ni Neri
06:06 as a businesswoman.
06:08 Lalong-lalong na nitong pandemic.
06:10 Nag-start siya na wala siyang alam sa business.
06:13 Nag-start siya na wala alam sa pag-handle ng money.
06:17 And I...
06:18 May nag...
06:20 Huyon ko sabihin na tinuro ako siya eh.
06:21 Pero sinabi ko sa inyo,
06:22 what I do when it comes to handling money
06:24 with my businesses.
06:25 Tapos, she's a very good listener.
06:27 Pero aside...
06:28 And a very good student.
06:29 Pero aside from being a good student,
06:31 she's a great learner.
06:32 So, ito lang tinuro ko 'yung basics.
06:34 Nag-research siya na, nag-research siya.
06:36 Nag-aral, nag-aral, nag-try, nag-try.
06:38 Hanggang isan talagang ngayon,
06:41 amazed ako kung paano siya mag...
06:43 When it comes to business,
06:44 tas nag-aral pa siya ng business.
06:46 Tinapos niya yung course niya.
06:47 Tas ngayon, nag-master siya ng business.
06:49 In a year, mag-tapos siya sa masters.
06:50 Na ano ka pa?
06:51 Na na-overtake ka pa?
06:52 Oo, di ha, Mac.
06:53 Talaga ngayon, na-ask her na...
06:54 When it comes to technical stuff na...
06:57 "Pag ganito, ganito yung..."
06:58 Alam niya na talaga yung all the...
07:01 yung mga business.
07:02 Tapos, minsan ang gagaling ng mga naisip niya business.
07:05 And she started from...
07:07 from someone who doesn't know talaga na
07:10 mag-handle ng anything.
07:11 Ah, so nang nagkakilala kayo,
07:13 you didn't see it in her?
07:14 No, totally wala.
07:16 But what I saw in her
07:18 was someone who knows how to take care of someone
07:21 and how to value a relationship.
07:23 Na parang,
07:24 "Galing naman eh, ito."
07:26 Parang...
07:27 When I'm sick, she'd make an effort to bring food.
07:29 Mga ganun ba.
07:30 Nung nagpapakita pala kami sa isa't-isa't.
07:33 Which I never saw the girls that I...
07:36 I...
07:37 na nag...
07:38 which nag...
07:38 dinidate ko nung time na 'yon.
07:40 Kasi sanay sila, sila yung sinusui ng mga boys.
07:42 Parang ganun.
07:43 Tapos,
07:44 uh, ito,
07:46 wala siyang pakalangdon.
07:47 Basa, "Oh, may sakit na puntahan kita dyan."
07:49 Parang...
07:51 Sorry ko.
07:52 This is...
07:52 Ito yung...
07:53 pang white.
07:54 Parang pinapakita...
07:54 White material.
07:56 White.
07:56 Pag...
07:57 Pag ito yung makasama ko abang buhay,
07:58 ganyan...
07:59 ganyan ko siya.
08:00 Hindi ko na talaga pakuna.
08:01 That's why I treat her the way I do.
08:02 I always make her feel na how...
08:05 how lucky I am.
08:06 Parang ganyan.
08:07 Tapos, pero,
08:08 when it comes to businesses,
08:10 wala.
08:10 But what I noticed about her was,
08:12 coming from humble beginnings,
08:14 nag-ara siya, kunyari,
08:14 fine dining.
08:16 Hindi niya alam.
08:16 So, aaralin niya talaga.
08:17 Buy books and...
08:19 Everything about her is self-taught.
08:21 Parang ganyan.
08:21 Tapos, may manutunan man siya.
08:24 Pag iigihan niya pa mas lalo,
08:25 umabot sa...
08:26 hanggang umabot sa point na
08:27 memory, alam niya na 'yan by heart.
08:28 So, same thing with business.
08:30 Nag-start siya with...
08:31 walang alam.
08:32 Gastus, busfera,
08:34 alam niya.
08:35 Um,
08:36 okay lang may next day.
08:38 May taping naman ako.
08:38 May mayroon pa ulit next Tuesday.
08:40 Umusta yung pera niya for the next taping.
08:41 Alam niya, gano'n...
08:42 Hindi niya pa kinikita.
08:43 Wala na yung pera ang hawak niya.
08:44 Then I started na,
08:45 this is how you do it.
08:46 Don't spend money.
08:46 Mga simple things na,
08:47 don't spend money na hindi mo pa hawak.
08:49 Tapos,
08:50 kung kumita ka ng 15,
08:51 tago mo yung 10,
08:52 yung 5 lang pag tripan mo.
08:53 Eventually, yung...
08:53 Kasi nga, may nabalitaan ako.
08:56 May nabalitaan ako na,
08:57 ikaw daw,
08:58 parang sobrang...
08:59 yung laki ng percentage
09:01 yung iniipon mo.
09:02 [Music]
09:09 And save and invest.
09:11 Tapos, kung ano yung matirang bariya,
09:14 then I spoil myself with that maliit na bagay.
09:18 Parang, ito lang,
09:19 just kahapon may binili lang ako na toy car na parang,
09:22 6,500.
09:23 Alam mo, pinikisipan ko pata rin ako
09:25 kung gagasta sa inyo ko yung 6,500.
09:27 It's just a toy.
09:28 Parang, and 6,500...
09:30 I know it's mahal naman talaga yung 6,500.
09:33 Pero, it's...
09:36 compared to what I normally earn,
09:38 parang yung 6,500,
09:39 pwede mo nang bigay sa sarili mo yun.
09:40 Pero ako yung tipong,
09:41 pag-iisipan ko muna,
09:43 parang ganun ako.
09:44 "Kailangan ko ba talaga 'to?"
09:45 "Gusto ko ba talaga 'to?"
09:47 Parang natawa na nga lang sa akin yung mga tao na,
09:49 "Pagbigyan mo,
09:50 karami ka naman magtrabaho.
09:51 Okay na yun, bilhin mo yung toy niyan."
09:53 So, naka-convince ko yung may sarili ko na bilhin yung toy.
09:55 So, saya-saya ko,
09:56 maglalaro ako ngayon.
09:57 It's just a small toy car.
09:58 But...
09:59 Chito,
10:00 wait.
10:01 Itong si Nery,
10:03 syempre,
10:04 showbiz lang ako ng konti.
10:06 Buta hindi siya nagse-celos
10:08 kasi knowing that,
10:09 of course,
10:10 she's married to a,
10:12 you know,
10:12 a rock band member.
10:14 I think people just view,
10:18 kala lang nila ganun yung lifestyle
10:19 na mga may banda.
10:21 Parang ganun.
10:21 Pero,
10:22 I think,
10:23 a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised.
10:25 Pleasantly surprised.
10:26 Ang dami kong mga,
10:27 kunyari,
10:28 mga kamikazee,
10:29 yung magugulat ka ng mukha.
10:31 I'm sorry I keep on referring to kamikazee
10:33 kasi hindi ko pwede gamitin yung mga band members ko
10:36 as an example because
10:37 mukha talaga nga nerds yung mga kabanda ko eh.
10:40 So it would be not surprising
10:41 kung hindi sila rock and roll lifestyle.
10:43 Pero, kunyari,
10:43 sa kamikazee,
10:44 mukha silang todo, tattoo and everything.
10:46 Pero they're such,
10:47 sobrang bait nila sa family
10:48 tsa anak nila.
10:49 They never associate with a lot of girls.
10:54 Alam mo yun,
10:54 kala lang nila ganun yung lifestyle
10:56 because
10:57 when you play,
10:58 siguro,
11:00 um,
11:01 marami magaganda
11:03 at mga,
11:05 even artistas siguro and celebrities,
11:07 they love watching rock bands
11:09 compared to,
11:10 kunyari, may mall show nga isang artista,
11:12 hindi magkakandara para pa yung kapwa artista nila
11:14 manood ng artista lang din.
11:16 Parang ganun.
11:17 So, feeling nila,
11:18 ang dali, siguro, ng chicks.
11:20 I think,
11:21 if you're gonna play your card na ganun,
11:24 pwede.
11:25 Pero it's not,
11:27 hindi lang talaga kami eh.
11:29 Maybe it is.
11:30 You know, I'm looking for that term.
11:32 I just can't remember it eh.
11:35 Groupie.
11:37 I don't want to,
11:38 no, I don't think,
11:38 kasi groupie,
11:39 sorry,
11:40 ang groupie kasi sabihin is
11:41 medyo negative yung connotation
11:42 na parang groupie is the people you have,
11:44 you sleep with,
11:45 the girls who sarap,
11:46 yung sarap ng girls.
11:48 Well, the people who watch us,
11:49 na, kunyari,
11:52 sorry, I keep on referring to 12 Monkeys
11:54 kasi that's where,
11:55 kumbaga,
11:56 medyo mahal kasi dun eh,
11:57 expensive talaga dun.
11:58 So, medyo yung mga taong,
11:59 mga sosyal na konyo-konyo.
12:00 So, the best looking girls are there,
12:03 parang ganyan.
12:04 It's easier for us
12:06 to approach them and say hi,
12:08 and have connections,
12:10 and be friends.
12:11 Pero they don't go there
12:14 to throw themselves at the band.
12:16 So, they're not really groupies,
12:17 they're just there to enjoy the band.
12:19 Pero hindi ko inaasyong na,
12:20 hindi ko inaasyong na pagdating dyan,
12:21 "Nako, gusto kong halikan nito."
12:23 Never,
12:24 wala ka mararamdaman na ganun at all.
12:26 They're just there to enjoy the band.
12:28 Pero yeah,
12:29 siguro you have a bigger chance of saying hi,
12:31 kasi, "Oy, you enjoy our music?"
12:32 And you could approach them then,
12:34 because they know you already.
12:35 So, it kind of gives you an advantage,
12:38 but it doesn't make them a groupie.
12:40 They're just,
12:41 "Omg, isang paling ka pa niya,
12:42 kung bigla na-approach mo,
12:43 feeling groupie na."
12:43 "Oo, gusto ko nga ni band na ako."
12:45 Feeling poggy, ganun.
12:46 Oo, "Nako, Diyos ko,
12:48 hindi po talaga ganun."
12:48 Walang ganun.
12:50 Maybe some bands talaga,
12:52 kunyari yung banda na Frank,
12:53 poggy niya talaga,
12:54 surfer talaga siya.
12:55 So, I don't really understand
12:56 why girls throw themselves at...
12:58 Hindi, kasi di ba,
12:59 yung ganun ang dinedepict ng mga movies, eh.
13:02 Di ba?
13:03 Na parang lalo na pag yung tungkol sa mga rock bands,
13:05 di ba?
13:05 Or kahit na mga pop bands.
13:07 Ah...
13:09 Meron silang ganun.
13:10 May following sila na ganun.
13:12 Oo din.
13:13 Ah...
13:14 We had our share of mga ganun,
13:17 pero yung...
13:18 It's not...
13:19 It's not...
13:19 Hindi super big deal.
13:20 Tapos,
13:21 again,
13:22 siguro may slight advantage kasi,
13:24 kasi it's easy to approach na na,
13:25 after mo tumutok.
13:26 Kunyari meron kang artista na sobrang crush,
13:27 "Oh, no, no, no, she likes our band."
13:30 Andali lapitan na, "Hello!"
13:31 Ganun.
13:32 Pero you can't assume na,
13:33 "Ako gusto na ko yung date na to."
13:34 You still have to play your cards right to get...
13:37 Ah...
13:38 To have a connection with her.
13:39 Pero siya,
13:40 groupie na tipong
13:41 papitilit-tilit
13:42 tas gusto kong halikan sa stage.
13:44 Parang wala namang ganun.
13:45 Wala pa akong...
13:47 Ganun.
13:47 Yung like you saw.
13:48 So,
13:49 again,
13:49 pero with my wife,
13:50 I think also,
13:51 she trusts me enough.
13:52 Kasi,
13:53 I...
13:54 Ah...
13:55 First of all, I have a lot of
13:58 gorgeous friends.
13:59 Na kaibigan ko talaga.
14:01 And,
14:02 one thing that...
14:03 One thing that we have is
14:05 trust.
14:06 So,
14:07 nagkiwala naman talaga sa amin yan.
14:08 Parang ganun.
14:09 So, hindi siya naches jealous.
14:11 And pangalawa,
14:12 napaka...
14:13 not naman confident.
14:14 Hindi mayabang,
14:15 pero she's not...
14:16 never na insecure
14:18 scenario with any other girl.
14:19 Ganun.
14:20 Kasi she knows her value.
14:22 I make her feel
14:23 how valuable she is.
14:24 Pero aside from that,
14:25 even if I don't do it,
14:26 mayabang yan na...
14:28 Suwerte ka sa akin eh.
14:29 If you don't...
14:30 Kung hindi ako yung na-appreciate mo,
14:32 I'll be appreciated somewhere else.
14:34 Ganun siya eh.
14:34 Oo, totoo naman.
14:36 Hello.
14:36 Nagmamasteral na nga,
14:37 'di ba?
14:38 Oo, so...
14:39 So, hindi siya talagang...
14:40 Hindi siya nagsiselos.
14:41 Kasi yung point...
14:42 Kung gusto mo,
14:42 jan, 'di jan ka.
14:43 Parang ganun 'di niya...
14:44 Eh, pangimigay ka talaga.
14:46 Oo, go ahead.
14:47 'Di ba? Go ahead.
14:48 Ba't ako magipagsiksikan?
14:50 Parang ganun.
14:51 Ba't ko...
14:51 Ba't ko magpaglalaban?
14:52 Parang ganun lagi yung sagot niya eh.
14:54 Oo, totoo naman.
14:55 I never...
14:55 I never made...
14:57 her feel naman threatened with anyone.
14:59 I always make it a point.
15:00 And makikita naman niya
15:01 how I am with my friends
15:02 na talagang gusto ko.
15:03 Walang mali siya talaga.
15:04 Ito may pinapatanong sa akin,
15:06 if ever ba gusto ni Neri
15:07 bumalik full-time sa pag-aartista,
15:08 papayagan mo?
15:10 Ako papayagan ko.
15:11 Pero, ayaw niya na.
15:14 Ay, talaga?
15:15 To be fair,
15:15 na-enjoy naman niya talaga
15:16 magpag-artista because...
15:19 she feels that...
15:20 Alam niya yung challenge na
15:21 "Oh, iya ka dyan."
15:21 Tapos, pag nasabi na
15:23 "Oh, galing nang ginawa."
15:24 Or, alam niya, natutuwa siya.
15:25 But it's not something na...
15:28 pag naka-compare niya
15:29 to what she's doing now.
15:31 Na ngayon, stressed siya with...
15:33 Right now, hanggang 8 PM,
15:35 na tapos na pala
15:36 yung class niya from 5 to 8.
15:38 Stressed yan because...
15:40 not na ma-stress,
15:40 pero to talk, it's so hard.
15:42 Sobrang hard ng work.
15:43 Pero, mas na...
15:45 mas after niya gawin
15:46 yung ngiti niya na nagawa niya,
15:48 parang iba yung fulfillment
15:49 para sa kanya.
15:50 Oo.
15:51 Tapos, after niya,
15:52 may meeting pa siya
15:52 with mga business partners
15:54 and everything.
15:55 She's enjoying what she's doing now
15:56 more than she...
15:58 mas nai-enjoy niya
15:59 yung ginagawa niya ngayon
15:59 compared to what
16:01 she was doing nung artista siya.
16:03 Nothing against that,
16:03 pero...
16:05 I totally understand why she'd rather
16:06 do this full-time.
16:08 Parang ganyan.
16:09 Mas...
16:10 iba-iba na yung facet ni Nery ngayon.
16:13 And I'm sure,
16:14 mas attractive na siya para sayo.
16:16 Oo, talaga naman
16:17 na may crush talaga ako dyan.
16:19 Ever since.
16:20 Oo, talaga.
16:21 So, wala.
16:23 So...
16:25 And again,
16:27 that's something also
16:28 na sobrang na-facet nito ko
16:30 about her was because
16:32 ang hindi niya mag...
16:34 she keeps on
16:36 trying to improve herself.
16:37 Alam niyo, always trying to learn.
16:39 Which I think is so
16:42 attractive para sa akin.
16:43 So talaga, amazing na, amazing ako.
16:45 Tutuwa talaga ako sa akin.
16:47 And you are a father of three.
16:49 Yeah.
16:50 How are you as a father?
16:51 Like, parang,
16:53 do they know that
16:54 they have famous parents?
16:57 Ano ba? How do you tell them?
16:59 I think they're aware,
17:01 but it's not that
17:01 sobrang hindi big deal sa kanila yan.
17:03 Masyado.
17:04 Umm...
17:06 Parang dati,
17:07 nalala ko lang para sabi sa kanila,
17:08 "You're my dad."
17:10 So parang,
17:10 "You're as famous as Gordon Ramsay."
17:12 Parang natatawaan.
17:13 Yun yung idea niya
17:14 na sigat na si Gordon Ramsay.
17:16 So parang,
17:16 I sabi ko,
17:18 "He's more popular."
17:19 Sabi ko,
17:20 kasi kilala siya sa buong mundo.
17:21 And,
17:23 I'm,
17:24 we're also very lucky
17:25 kasi they're so well,
17:26 ayoko sabihin na well brought up
17:28 kasi parang taking credit.
17:29 They're just
17:30 good,
17:31 chill.
17:32 Yan talaga.
17:33 Na,
17:34 syempre medyo outspoken,
17:35 medyo peelyo.
17:35 Pag tinanong mo,
17:36 hindi sila tanggap na nantanggap.
17:37 They always question,
17:38 which I appreciate also.
17:40 They always question na,
17:42 "Why do you have to sleep early?"
17:43 Kasi,
17:44 it's a weekend.
17:45 Parang ganoon ba,
17:45 hindi sila sunod-sunod lang.
17:47 Pero,
17:48 but you have to take time to explain.
17:50 And they,
17:50 they follow naman.
17:51 And as a father,
17:53 ako yung kalaroon nila.
17:55 Pero,
17:56 ako yung good cop,
17:57 si Nery yung bad cop.
17:58 Tumaga, siya yung
17:59 mas strict mo.
17:59 Ay talaga?
18:01 Mas,
18:01 mas good.
18:02 Oh.
18:02 In some households,
18:04 balik na dyan ha?
18:05 Yeah, siya yung magsasabi na,
18:07 "Aral muna kayo,
18:09 finish your homework
18:10 bago kayo magdaro."
18:11 Ako naman,
18:12 kakagaling lang sa klase,
18:13 "Laroon muna silang konti,
18:14 tas aral."
18:15 Ikaw yung spoiler.
18:16 "Tas magdaro."
18:17 Oh,
18:17 di na-spoiler.
18:18 Kasi,
18:18 I'm also very strict
18:19 when it comes to doing
18:20 the responsibilities.
18:21 Pero,
18:21 siya talaga,
18:22 "Di,
18:22 aral muna bago laro."
18:23 Ako,
18:23 "Di,
18:24 laroon muna konti,
18:24 tas aral,
18:25 tapos laroon na lang ulit after."
18:26 Parang ganoon ba.
18:27 So,
18:27 okay,
18:27 good cop.
18:29 Pero,
18:29 pagka,
18:31 if they step out of line,
18:34 parang alam nila na
18:35 huwag nyo nang
18:36 hintayin magalit si dad.
18:38 Parang,
18:39 pero,
18:39 hindi naman ako mabut sa magigalit.
18:40 Pero,
18:40 parang,
18:41 "O,
18:41 kalaroon nyo ako."
18:42 Parang,
18:43 "Di nung,
18:44 are you waiting for me?"
18:44 Don't mess with me.
18:45 Kasi,
18:45 ako yung kalaroon nyo.
18:46 Oh,
18:46 ganun.
18:47 Tatanay ko lang naman,
18:47 "Di,
18:48 are you waiting for me to,
18:49 are you trying to make the ending?"
18:51 So,
18:51 alam na nila yung na,
18:52 okay.
18:53 So,
18:53 ganun lang yung dynamics namin.
18:55 Kahit naiintindiw ko naman
18:56 yung kalokohan na ginawa niya,
18:57 pero,
18:58 I still,
18:58 you need to keep them in line
18:59 parin.
19:00 Yes,
19:00 that's true.
19:28 Okay.
19:30 Uh,
19:31 you have three kids na.
19:32 You have three wonderful kids.
19:34 Any plans of adding another one?
19:37 No.
19:38 Si Neri,
19:38 honestly,
19:38 she wants one more.
19:39 Agad,
19:40 agad,
19:40 I'm okay with you.
19:41 Bakit?
19:43 Because,
19:44 yung reason ko talaga is,
19:46 gusto ko na,
19:46 kasi I'm already 47.
19:50 Um,
19:51 gusto ko,
19:52 uh,
19:52 masolo ko na si Neri at,
19:54 dalihin siya sa lahat ng mga lugar
19:55 na gusto niya puntahan.
19:56 Kasi,
19:57 sasabihin niya,
19:57 "Dati,
19:58 dalihin."
19:58 Manonood siya ng kongres,
19:59 uh,
20:00 may makikita siya ng magandang lugar sa Europe,
20:01 or whatever.
20:03 "Dalihin mo ako dyan."
20:04 "Dataling kita dyan."
20:05 Pero,
20:05 we can't do it,
20:07 when we're still,
20:08 focused tayo sa kids eh.
20:09 Gusto ko medyo mag-grow up na yung kids enough,
20:11 to leave them for,
20:12 a month or so.
20:13 Pero ngayon,
20:13 di pa red,
20:14 because,
20:14 cash is only a year and a half.
20:15 So,
20:16 pag medyo nasa 5 and 6,
20:17 7 years old na yan,
20:18 na medyo,
20:19 o sige,
20:20 excited sila mag-stay sila kay lola nila for,
20:22 for a month.
20:23 Kasi,
20:23 yan lang.
20:24 Kasi,
20:24 gusto ko siyang masolo.
20:25 Kung baga kami naman yung mami,
20:26 kung baga,
20:26 gusto ko,
20:28 nasa age pa rin ako,
20:29 na paglakad kami ng sobrang layo,
20:31 tara ikutin natin yung buong city na yan.
20:33 Lakad layo.
20:33 Kaya pa.
20:34 Nung wala kang tungkod.
20:36 Yup.
20:36 Yung hindi pero,
20:37 o,
20:37 yung kala mo ipa-ease yung sarili mo na,
20:39 "Wah,
20:39 magatakot dyan,
20:40 mapapagod ako,
20:40 wag masyado."
20:41 Hindi,
20:41 gusto ko siya,
20:42 "Tara,
20:42 train tayo to ganito."
20:43 Sige,
20:43 tara,
20:43 bumaganan,
20:44 while I'm still,
20:45 um,
20:47 yung,
20:48 parang nasa peak pa yung katawan mo na,
20:50 "Sige,
20:50 train tayo going there,
20:51 akitin natin yung bundok na yan,
20:53 tara."
20:53 Kasi,
20:53 gusto ko siya masolo na,
20:54 na,
20:55 at mabigay sa kanya yung mga
20:57 dreams niya napuntahan.
20:59 So,
20:59 with that,
21:00 naiintindihan.
21:00 Tito,
21:02 let's talk about parokya ni Edgar.
21:04 Okay.
21:04 30,
21:05 30 years.
21:07 Um,
21:07 grabe,
21:07 I mean,
21:08 I have to remind myself,
21:09 30 years na yan.
21:11 [laughs]
21:12 Grabe.
21:13 Uh,
21:14 oh,
21:14 na-expect nyo ba na,
21:17 you know,
21:17 tatagal yung career ninyo up to,
21:20 ganito,
21:20 tatlong dekada?
21:22 Hindi,
21:22 kasi,
21:23 we had no expectations
21:25 sa band,
21:26 kasi it was just for one gig.
21:27 Then it became,
21:29 parang magkakanta lang kami sa,
21:31 sa,
21:32 um,
21:33 intermission ng speech conte sa
21:34 mga batchmates namin.
21:36 Then,
21:36 we were invited to other batches,
21:39 and later sa harap na buong high school.
21:41 And that was the goal.
21:42 It was just that.
21:43 We had no long-term plans,
21:44 we just wanted to
21:45 feel,
21:46 we just wanted to see how it feels to be in a band.
21:48 Kasi nung time na yun,
21:49 idol na idol namin Eheads,
21:51 ganyan,
21:51 mga Nirvana.
21:52 So we just wanted to feel how,
21:53 we just wanted to experience.
21:55 Pero wala kami goals of making it big or
21:57 doing it for as,
21:58 as long as this.
21:59 We had plans.
22:00 Kaya nga nung after na-graduate,
22:01 one of our original guitarists went to UPLB to
22:04 mag-architecture na siya,
22:05 isa nag-teacher,
22:06 ganyan.
22:06 Because wala kami plano.
22:08 Tapos we just kept on playing because
22:10 those who were left behind just wanted to
22:13 play.
22:14 We kept on getting invited po eh.
22:16 So kagad na kada invite,
22:17 gig kami ng gigs.
22:18 Mamiya-mamiya,
22:18 padami-padami yung gigs.
22:19 Palaki-palaki.
22:20 Mga baiya,
22:21 bigla kami binayaran,
22:21 dik talaga kami makapaniwag.
22:23 May pera tayo.
22:24 Para ganun.
22:25 Una,
22:25 300 pesos,
22:26 tapos susunod,
22:27 800 pesos.
22:28 Tas bigla nakakuha na kami ng malaking gig and
22:30 it was unbelievable for us because we,
22:33 as kids,
22:33 we didn't have that
22:34 kind of money.
22:35 Parang ganun.
22:36 So,
22:37 parang,
22:37 uy,
22:38 bilhin na tayong drum set,
22:39 bilhin na tayong PlayStation.
22:40 And then it just
22:42 kept on happening po.
22:42 Until,
22:44 nal-realize namin,
22:44 nang tagal na namin.
22:45 Parang ganun.
22:46 Hmm.
22:47 Pero ah,
22:48 ito ah,
22:49 wala pa akong nakikitang
22:51 or naatinan na,
22:52 na,
22:53 videoke session na hindi
22:56 kinantaang harana.
22:57 Na-actual nga po eh.
22:58 Salamat,
22:59 salamat,
22:59 salamat.
23:00 Pag ikaw ba na
23:00 na-imitante ganun,
23:01 kinakanta mo,
23:02 kinakanta mo rin yung sa videoke?
23:04 Ah,
23:05 sa totoo po,
23:06 ah,
23:06 ah,
23:07 hindi po ako milig kumata sa videoke kasi,
23:09 two reasons.
23:10 Kasi first of all,
23:11 talaga hindi ko,
23:12 hindi ko alam kung ba't hindi ko abot yung makakanta namin sa videoke.
23:15 Ako naman nagsulat noon.
23:16 [laughs]
23:17 Tapos,
23:17 pangalawa,
23:18 parang ano eh,
23:20 ah,
23:21 para siyang
23:22 work for me.
23:22 Na parang,
23:23 silagi ko sinasabi na,
23:24 wag nyo nakapakanta.
23:25 Imagine nyo kung may kaibigan kang artista dito
23:27 sa sabihin sa'yo,
23:27 umakting ka nga dito.
23:28 Oh nga.
23:29 Ganun yung feeling ko.
23:29 Sige nga,
23:30 umiyaka d'ya.
23:30 [laughs]
23:31 Oh,
23:31 umiyaka nga d'ya,
23:31 tingnan natin.
23:32 Or,
23:33 so parang,
23:34 it's just how I feel na,
23:35 sige kanta ka d'yan.
23:41 Kasi,
23:42 may mga times na naging inuma,
23:43 tas nandiyan yung paborito kong gitarista.
23:45 Pag kumanta siya,
23:46 hindi ko talaga matatanggihan.
23:47 Gusto ko talaga kantahan yung gitara niya.
23:49 So,
23:50 kahit kantahin nyo yung harana,
23:52 alam nyo,
23:54 mas lalo na noon pandemic,
23:55 and we just hang out lang ako with my friend,
23:58 who is such a good guitarist,
24:00 na hindi siya member ng parokya,
24:01 kasi they were all in QC.
24:03 Whenever he'd play,
24:04 I'd be inspired sobrang to sing,
24:07 na umabot sa point yung mga,
24:08 parang,
24:10 pag nag-jam kami,
24:11 parang normal na,
24:11 "Hey, kanta mo yung harana?"
24:13 Kasi kakanta lang ako.
24:13 Kasi sarap-sarap kantahan yung gitara.
24:15 And,
24:15 Hmm.
24:16 Uh,
24:16 pero when they request me to sing,
24:18 parang nahiya ako.
24:19 Pero pag ako yung nag,
24:20 pag medyo nakalitin noon na tapos,
24:22 "Tara, kanta tayo!"
24:24 [music]
