00:08 Kapuso, our guests this afternoon are two of the best artists in the world.
00:18 Right?
00:19 Because I have them with me.
00:21 I have them with me in a show that you watched last week.
00:28 And, they are here.
00:34 Paolo Contis, Cherise Salamon, and Boy!
00:41 Boy!
00:42 Boy!
00:43 Wow, Boy!
00:44 I am fine!
00:46 Hi!
00:47 Boy!
00:48 Thank you so much.
00:49 Make yourselves comfortable.
00:52 Thank you.
00:53 Thank you, little boy.
00:54 How are you?
00:55 Good, good.
00:56 Congratulations.
00:58 Thank you.
00:59 Congratulations, Uncle Boy, on your launching.
01:01 Yes, I am looking for an agent.
01:05 Actually, there is a taping next week in Bubble.
01:08 I seem to be absent.
01:10 Yes.
01:11 And, they didn't have a problem because you are the only one.
01:13 Oh, that's right.
01:14 Just send me the script.
01:15 [Laughs]
01:16 I'm not going to send it.
01:17 You're so stingy.
01:18 [Laughs]
01:19 But, how was my guesting?
01:20 Assess it.
01:21 How was I as an actor?
01:23 Me, Uncle Boy, to be honest, I saw that you enjoyed it.
01:26 A lot.
01:27 You enjoyed it.
01:28 But, you didn't say that I was good.
01:30 No.
01:31 No, it's not finished yet.
01:32 [Laughs]
01:33 No, I read it.
01:34 It's funny because the timing was good.
01:37 And, Uncle Boy is pressured because he knows the script.
01:40 Yes.
01:41 We are the ones who read the script.
01:42 I didn't memorize it.
01:43 You know everything.
01:44 He doesn't have a script.
01:45 But, you know, you get scared there.
01:47 It's true.
01:48 You know, when you get into a platform that you're not familiar with,
01:52 you say, "What will happen here?"
01:54 I know the story, but, my God, what is it?
01:57 You're nervous.
01:58 How do we get nervous when we're here?
02:00 [Laughs]
02:01 But, it's a happy place.
02:03 It's a happy set.
02:04 And, you guys are just so good.
02:07 It's true.
02:08 You too, Uncle Boy.
02:09 We enjoyed it.
02:10 Thank you for...
02:11 But, you are part of Bubble Gang,
02:14 which is the longest-running comedy show in the country, 28 years.
02:18 In your opinion, what is the explanation for the staying power of this show?
02:23 I think it's the power of Bubble Gang to adapt to new jokes,
02:30 to a new time.
02:32 We're not...
02:34 The writers, the creatives, Direk Bitoy and the actors are not stubborn to...
02:39 No, this is what's funny for us.
02:41 Like before, we used to say that it's more brave,
02:46 and somehow now, people think that other jokes are more offensive.
02:50 Then, we adapt.
02:51 We'll make a way for the jokes to be funny without offending people.
02:56 So, the show is supported.
02:59 I saw the collaboration of Michael and Bitoy with the writers.
03:03 Yes.
03:04 I saw the combination of what had been planned
03:08 and adapting to the moment.
03:11 Yes.
03:12 What is happening now, how is it working,
03:15 as opposed to, this is our plan.
03:18 That's what I was amazed at.
03:19 I thought, "This is great."
03:21 Actually, if you look at the script, there's no "and."
03:24 No.
03:25 We were watching you lately.
03:27 You're using "and."
03:28 Yes.
03:29 You're using "and."
03:30 And, it's so open.
03:31 That was your invention.
03:32 Yes.
03:33 That was your contribution.
03:34 And the outside.
03:35 Yes, the outside.
03:36 That's what we're looking for.
03:37 Correct.
03:38 Yes.
03:39 It's so good.
03:40 And, Bitoy is open.
03:41 He's open to the writers.
03:42 Yes.
03:43 If it works, we'll be there.
03:44 And, if it doesn't, the director is saying it.
03:46 So, no one is offended.
03:48 Are there any instances where you fought?
03:50 Not really fighting, but a discussion.
03:55 "I don't think this is going to work.
03:57 I don't think this worked.
03:58 Can we try this?"
04:00 I mean, is there such a thing?
04:01 Yes.
04:02 But, it's very healthy.
04:04 You just need to listen.
04:07 Like, Cha, before he goes to the creative or set,
04:11 he goes to me or Bitoy first.
04:14 So, he can go to the writers first.
04:16 Do you know what joke is going to work?
04:18 No.
04:19 I have an instance, if I may share.
04:22 One of them went viral.
04:24 The one about the weak hearing.
04:27 The one where he's buying.
04:29 "Do you have medicine for weak hearing?"
04:31 "Yes, we do."
04:32 "Oh, you don't?"
04:33 "No."
04:34 "Okay, thank you."
04:35 That one, before I did that,
04:37 I approached Bitoy.
04:39 I said, "What is this?
04:41 Can you explain to me how he can laugh?
04:44 Or, I can't get him?"
04:46 He said, "Just do it.
04:47 It will make him laugh."
04:49 And then, it went viral a few times.
04:51 You just have to trust him.
04:52 Yeah.
04:53 And what to do?
04:54 And trust the process of the essay.
04:55 The truth also, yeah.
04:56 That's amazing.
