PeopleTranscript
00:00 I'm so thankful that when you watch the whole film, you'll have a lot of questions for yourself.
00:06 So thank you so much.
00:08 Alright, so this is their baby boy.
00:11 I played the role as Austin. I'm the son of Mary and John.
00:17 They're Aunt Marlene and Uncle Inyang.
00:19 And then, this movie, you'll feel mixed emotions when you watch it.
00:25 Because I'm crying and laughing at the same time.
00:30 Thank you, Jordan.
00:32 Okay, we saw Marlene's voice.
00:34 But briefly, I want to add something to your characters.
00:38 I'm John, better known as Mary.
00:41 John is a workaholic.
00:44 He's a very good provider, but his priority is his job.
00:49 He's always doing a lot of things.
00:52 From going home, to getting up early, to the things that will happen.
00:58 So, that's what I want to say.
01:00 John is a workaholic.
01:02 What about Mary?
01:03 Mary, John's wife, is ready to give up everything, even her dreams,
01:08 to understand her husband and child well.
01:12 That's really it.
01:14 She's a giveaholic.
01:16 Mary is a giveaholic.
01:18 But I'll just twist this.
01:20 I won't be able to play Mary if John, as a dom, is not there.
01:26 That's right.
01:28 Daisy, what's your role?
01:30 Sorry, you don't have a role.
01:32 I'm sorry.
01:34 Daisy, I wanted to know,
01:36 why this was chosen as the star cinema offering for MMFF?
01:42 Maybe, we're thinking, right?
01:46 MMFF, as we all know, a lot of people watch it.
01:50 It's the day for your family.
01:54 This story, MJ, is one that we want a lot of people to watch.
02:00 A lot of people will see this movie.
02:02 Because, personally, when I first read it,
02:08 as creators, we try our best not to be involved in the material.
02:16 You're really drawn to the material.
02:18 It's like a story at some point.
02:20 It's nice that on Christmas Day, on MMFF,
02:26 we're all drawn to the place where we can be seen in our movie.
02:30 Also, the past years, the world is really chaotic.
02:36 So, it's a very time-heating material.
02:42 Because, don't we all want to go back to the times when it wasn't that chaotic?
02:46 It's like the comfort and peace that this material can give.
02:52 We can all relate to it.
02:54 Alright, Daisy.
02:56 Sir Rico, as a writer of this movie,
03:00 what experience can you give to the moviegoers when they watch this?
03:04 Maybe, because we all have an experience,
03:10 we all have an experience of the past, as Daisy said.
03:12 Maybe, we can say that this movie is for us, an experience.
03:16 You really ask here, what is your mistake?
03:20 And if you were given a chance, will you correct your mistake?
03:26 So, it's a universal emotion, a universal feeling.
03:28 We all made mistakes.
03:30 We all make mistakes, but we all correct our mistakes.
03:34 And that's what people will look for when they watch "Remind".
03:39 It's a chance to be a better person, all for one thing.
03:43 Wow! That's a good way to put it.
03:46 Sir Rico is my first boss in ABS.
03:49 Sir Rico is my first boss.
03:52 Okay, Direct May, you're next, all the way from Cebu.
03:56 Direct, how was your experience when you made this movie?
04:02 Well, actually, as I read the script, right?
04:08 Three years ago, before the pandemic.
04:11 So, I already know the story, but while we were making it,
04:14 it was something that we made all over again.
04:21 We were going by the day.
04:26 It's something that grows in you while you're making it.
04:30 I'm sure everyone felt that while we were making it.
04:32 It's very organic.
04:33 And you learned a lot along the way.
04:36 You discovered a lot that you can share with the story.
04:40 But it's a very inspiring story, and we were just so inspired when we were making it.
04:46 Alright.
04:47 And of course, can I just add now?
04:50 It was a big factor that it was Dong Yan who portrayed John and Mary.
04:56 The love that the actor felt was different.
05:03 And it really translates to the battery.
05:07 You'll understand what I'm talking about.
05:10 Thank you, Direct May.
05:11 I'll just go back to what Sir Rico said earlier.
05:14 You waited for Marianne and Ding Dong to do this project.
05:20 Did you wait for it?
05:22 Yes.
05:23 Of course, like Sir Rico said, we were dreaming of a Dong Yan movie.
05:29 But we couldn't make a story.
05:30 So, when we pitched it to Ding Dong separately from Marianne,
05:34 it seemed like he liked it.
05:36 But of course, we broke our faith.
05:38 We were like, "What are you doing?"
05:40 Then, it was Marianne's turn.
05:42 I chose to cry, but she didn't like it.
05:45 So, we were wondering.
05:46 They said they liked it.
05:48 But, the pandemic happened.
05:50 They said we need to wait.
05:52 So, we really had a long discussion.
05:54 We said, of course, it was our first choice.
05:56 It was our only choice.
05:57 We wrote this for them.
05:59 If the material is that good,
06:02 should we wait or should we plan something else?
06:05 The unanimous decision was, no one else could do it but Ding Dong and Marianne.
06:09 No one else can give light to the role of this specific character.
06:14 In fact, I was thinking about them.
06:17 What would Marianne have reacted?
06:20 What would Ding Dong have said?
06:21 In my mind, I don't know if my life is real or not.
06:24 I hope not.
06:25 But, in my mind, if they're the one I think about, that's what I'm thinking about.
06:30 But Sir Rico, that's a challenge.
06:31 Because, personally, do you know Ding Dong?
06:35 Only as a celebrity.
06:37 He's not in the GMA, especially when he's gossiping.
06:41 Not really.
06:43 Marianne works in Kung Fu Divas.
06:46 That's just a little.
06:48 Just a little.
06:49 So, Ding Dong, in our drama, not really.
06:55 But, Dong and Marianne is a legendary couple.
06:59 You know, they're open-hearted about their marriage, their relationship.
07:04 And what we admire about it is that it's really strong, loyal, and long-lasting.
07:09 That's where we're going to kick it.
07:11 We'll challenge this relationship and make the audience feel that this is stronger at the end of the movie.
07:18 You know, challenge.
07:19 How do you make a solid and strong couple go to a drama that will challenge their relationship?
07:27 So, that's it.
07:28 So, don't go past three-five.
07:29 Nice.
07:31 Okay.
07:32 Let's do the Q&A.
07:34 Let's begin first with Jimmy Anarcon from 3D Manila.
07:40 Hi, Jimmy.
07:41 Good evening and congratulations to the three of you.
07:48 First, I want to congratulate you.
07:50 Because you worked with Ding Dong ten years ago in "She's the One," right?
07:55 And now you are working with both of them.
07:57 So, how different was it that time that you worked with Ding Dong compared to when you worked with Ding Dong ten years ago?
08:05 When I worked with Ding Dong ten years ago in "She's the One," that was a rom-com.
08:10 So, that's different.
08:11 In my experience, they weren't married yet.
08:15 Now, they're together.
08:18 They're married.
08:19 They have a family.
08:21 I saw the difference in Ding Dong.
08:25 It's like the depth of love.
08:27 Their interpretation of love is different.
08:32 Because he loves his family dearly.
08:35 He loves his wife dearly.
08:38 And you can see that in "She's the One."
08:40 That's the difference.
08:41 And then, of course, it's new to have Mariel.
08:45 Because I worked with both.
08:46 Mariel Baco is really a star.
08:51 I only watched her in "Se7en."
08:53 I never thought I would direct Mariel Rivera ever.
08:58 I mean, the way she works with Gia, it's so surreal.
09:03 And then, together, on set, it's surprising because they're so double.
09:12 They're so humble.
09:13 They're so professional.
09:15 It's different.
09:16 You can see their dynamics as a couple.
09:19 It's so sweet.
09:21 It's so giving.
09:23 I really admire their relationship, their dynamics.
09:28 And I'm just so fortunate that I had or I was given this opportunity, this chance to work with the two of them.
09:35 Again, when you watch the movie, there's so much love.
09:39 So much love in their eyes.
09:41 So much love in their actions that are translated.
09:45 They really give different depth to their characters.
09:50 Thank you, Lianne May.
09:52 And then, my question for Mariel.
09:54 Because you've been with Orient and Star Cinema for 10 years and Bingbao more.
10:00 So this time, how is she in Oriental yet or with elements of Star Cinema culture?
10:07 Because she works more often with them.
10:10 Do you know how to be a star?
10:11 That's what she told me.
10:13 She said, "I'm very excited for you."
10:15 So the mere fact that she said that, she knows I'll enjoy it.
10:19 And she's sure that I'll be a star with Star Cinema.
10:22 You mentioned earlier that this was your dream movie when you watched it, "Tailor in Rush."
10:28 How did Star Cinema make that happen after you were in Oriental?
10:32 What was the experience?
10:34 Actually, it's hard to elaborate.
10:36 In the script, I said, "Wow, I'm thankful."
10:40 I was with the cast.
10:41 Actually, that's one of the good things about us because we're super bonding here.
10:45 It's like, yes, we work together, but I'm looking forward to every time I go in the shoot,
10:50 I see this cast, they're so happy.
10:52 "The Truffle Girls! Hey, Truffle Girls!"
10:55 So we have a bonding.
10:57 I said, "That's my goal."
10:59 Every time I do a project, I want to be with them.
11:04 And that happened here.
11:06 And then I said, "As a bonus, I'll direct a movie."
11:09 And I was with Dom.
11:11 I said, "I really, really want to be blessed that I was given this opportunity."
11:15 So I'm very blessed.
11:16 I'm so thankful that I got to experience all of this.
11:19 And I said, "In what Dom told me, in his experiences,
11:23 I said, "At least now, I know how to act."
11:26 Was there a particular story that you were overwhelmed with?
11:31 What happened to you here in the set?
11:33 Everything. Actually, he told me so many stories.
11:35 I can still see my experience.
11:37 I said, "I'm so happy. I'll do it again."
11:40 Alright, thank you, Gemmy.
11:43 Thank you so much.
11:44 Thank you so much, Gemmy.
11:45 Let's call in Chad, Rosette, and Lillithy.
11:48 Hi, Chad.
11:49 I'll read it. Okay.
11:51 For Marian, if you have something you want to rewind, pause, and fast-forward in your life
11:59 as individuals or as a couple,
12:01 and then you're not done.
12:03 For me, actually, there are two things.
12:11 Although Dom said this earlier,
12:13 I want to have more opportunities to take care of my children.
12:17 Because the parents there, I take care of them.
12:20 I hold them.
12:21 Time really flies.
12:22 They're so big.
12:23 Especially when you're busy.
12:24 When you go home, they're like 1-inch.
12:27 They're so big.
12:28 So it's like, the kids are so happy.
12:30 So I said, "We can go back to that."
12:32 So that, you know, they're still there.
12:35 They're still small.
12:36 But we know that it won't happen.
12:38 So, my next goal is my wedding day.
12:41 Because on my wedding day,
12:43 my family, my mom, dad, and mom, are there.
12:49 And my dream came true.
12:50 To have a husband like him.
12:52 That's not a rewind.
12:56 That's a loop.
12:57 We just looped it so it would repeat.
13:00 And then,
13:01 "Oh, Sid, he said my answer."
13:04 No, I'm the one who said it.
13:07 But that's it.
13:08 For me, it's the day they were born.
13:11 Because I want to extend the time they're together.
13:14 Although I don't want them to be embarrassed.
13:17 But that moment,
13:19 I want to go back to that.
13:22 And of course, to extend our partnership.
13:25 Guys, that's a good movement.
13:27 When the kids are so young.
13:29 The follow-up question is for Marlon and Digno.
13:32 In all your years of acting,
13:34 do you ever wonder who your relationship is?
13:37 And how did you overcome this point in your life?
13:41 Of course, all couples have challenges in their relationship.
13:47 We're like that too.
13:48 At least, we're early.
13:49 We're still early.
13:50 But because we have a strong respect for each other,
13:55 love,
13:56 above all,
13:57 we really recognize that God is at the center of our relationship.
14:00 If that's the case,
14:01 surely, there's something that needs to be done.
14:04 He will bring it back to you.
14:06 You want to add to that, Maria?
14:08 Yes, because we can't avoid it.
14:10 In a relationship, there's something that's not understood.
14:13 But maybe, one thing is for sure in this,
14:16 if something like that happens to us,
14:18 we can't sleep at night because everything is not organized.
14:20 We need to be hard-core.
14:22 And after that,
14:23 He really needs to be at the center.
14:25 Because whatever plan you make,
14:27 He's the one who can follow.
14:28 He's our master.
14:30 Correct.
14:31 Good answer.
14:32 Thank you, Maria and Digno.
14:33 Next question is coming from Charlemagne Arqueta of Prime Time Media.
14:37 Me again.
14:38 We're being moved here.
14:41 For Marlon,
14:44 this morning after seeing the teaser and the poster,
14:46 we would assume this is a heavy drama for you.
14:49 This time, after a non-comedy movie, "Smoke".
14:52 What are your preparations you made for this comeback on the big screen?
14:57 It's my dream to make a movie like this.
15:02 Because in the past, I've made movies more on comedy,
15:05 more on very light.
15:07 So, that's why I'm saying this is one of my dreams.
15:09 Because it's really a drama.
15:11 I read the script,
15:13 I studied the character,
15:15 and there's a big factor that Direk and I talked about.
15:17 How to bring out the character of Mary.
15:19 That's a big problem.
15:20 And I said, one of the biggest factors is Dom.
15:24 He's always there.
15:25 Everytime we go to a shooting,
15:27 he guides me on the character.
15:29 Sometimes, he gives me pointers on the scenes.
15:32 So, it's easy for me to make the character of Mary
15:35 because of the people around me.
15:37 When you go home,
15:38 they're giving you a hug, right?
15:39 They're giving me a hug.
15:40 They're not giving me a hug anymore.
15:41 They're giving me a hug.
15:42 That's it.
15:43 That's a cut.
15:44 That's the beauty of it.
15:45 You know how to separate the real scene from the real character.
15:49 But the discussion of whether we're going to drive or stay at home,
15:53 we don't have that discussion.
15:54 We don't talk about it.
15:55 "I hope you get a job or I'll miss you."
15:57 We have sweet moments.
15:59 Like, we're really busy.
16:01 That's what we always say.
16:03 And Dom and I,
16:04 when we're going home or going to a shooting,
16:07 because he drives and we're the two of us,
16:09 that's our moment.
16:10 It's like we're bonding.
16:12 We're the two of us.
16:13 We're together.
16:14 Is there something like that in Ding Dong?
16:33 I think,
16:34 modesty aside,
16:37 but what Direct and Ding Dong and R&B will be a classic.
16:41 So that there will be lights,
16:43 plenty of scenes that we'll be watching,
16:46 and most of all,
16:47 lessons that we'll be learning.
16:50 Maybe we'll learn from our cut.
16:52 Yes.
16:53 So it's timeless, right?
16:54 There's an abundance of memorable moments.
16:57 Alright.
16:58 Next question is from the Asian Parent Philippines.
17:02 Hello!
17:03 Hello, my name is Mariela Tao.
17:05 I'm a director of the Asian Parent Philippines.
17:08 My question is,
17:09 what is the one thing that you've learned in the movie,
17:13 making it that you will carry on in your personal life?
17:17 So for Mariela and Ding Dong.
17:20 One of the most important lessons that I've learned
17:26 is to portray your character,
17:28 for example, John is a businessman.
17:30 Of course, there are things that you can't leave.
17:33 It's impossible to leave.
17:35 So take the most of what you have right now,
17:38 the relationships that you have,
17:40 the people that you love,
17:41 make sure that you make them feel that you love them.
17:44 Because maybe the day will come
17:46 that you'll give it to them.
17:48 So, before it's too late,
17:50 now is the time for us to live more than the loved one.
17:54 (applause)
17:56 Thank you, Ma'am.
18:21 My follow-up question is,
18:23 what is the thing that you discovered with each other
18:26 working together in this film, "Rewind"?
18:30 The three things that I found funny,
18:36 because we were together in 2007,
18:39 and now that we're doing this,
18:42 it's like nothing really changed.
18:45 First of all, Mariela is very professional.
18:49 From then until now,
18:51 she comes always prepared,
18:53 she comes on time.
18:55 Sometimes, she's the first one to arrive.
18:57 She's always ready.
18:59 So, very, very professional.
19:01 Second, we know how good she is as an artist.
19:05 And of course, she gets better and better
19:07 throughout the years.
19:09 And finally, how she treats the people around her.
19:12 Because she's always like that.
19:14 She makes sure that she respects it.
19:17 And everybody on the set,
19:19 even if it's not me,
19:21 even if it's not her,
19:23 she's really close.
19:25 She's always showing her love.
19:27 And she always makes us eat.
19:30 That's what surprised me.
19:32 Because everyday, she surprises me with a menu
19:36 that she makes me eat.
19:38 And there are times when I'm like,
19:40 "Hey, it's new. It's new."
19:42 But okay, we'll finish our rice.
19:44 Anyway, we didn't sing anything.
19:47 That's why it's funny.
19:49 I feel like when we first got together in 2007,
19:53 it was like we're back.
19:55 And much more now that we're sharing something
19:59 extra special together through this film.
20:03 Okay. Alright. Thank you very, very much.
20:06 Let's proceed now to Alan Sancon.
20:08 Alan, hi!
20:10 Hello, good afternoon and good evening.
20:13 Congratulations on the trailer.
20:15 We have a movie with a trailer.
20:17 Oh, that's it.
20:19 We saw in the trailer that you're going to win
20:22 an acting award.
20:24 Especially when I saw you in the casket.
20:28 You really broke down.
20:32 So, what can you say about your reaction
20:35 to be nominated for Best Actor or Best Actress
20:38 for your acting for this remake?
20:41 For me, it's a great honor to have this script.
20:50 Especially to do this together with very, very good actors
20:54 and such brilliant creative people
20:57 under the help of the director.
21:00 Especially that I'm with my wife.
21:02 All of that is more than enough.
21:05 That's why I really feel like I'm in heaven.
21:10 I would marry her.
21:12 In the world we've entered for FNFF,
21:15 in the many things we've read,
21:17 the mere fact that we're here now,
21:19 we're very thankful for that.
21:21 Maybe if there's something that will happen
21:23 and we'll be given, it's just plus plus.
21:25 If what we've done here and what we're going to offer
21:28 to people, we're very proud of that.
21:30 My second question, because you said earlier
21:34 what are the changes you've seen
21:36 during the time you started
21:38 and then you've reunioned.
21:41 My follow-up question is,
21:43 what is your discovery?
21:45 The last time you did a movie,
21:47 and this time you've got a rewind
21:49 for each other.
21:50 Of course, you're at home, right?
21:52 You're here to work.
21:54 What is your discovery for each other
21:56 as co-workers?
21:58 The truth is, there's none.
22:02 Because we're always at home.
22:04 We're always like that.
22:05 Maybe it's just different in the scenes,
22:07 like in the movie,
22:08 or in the lights,
22:09 because we're not like that.
22:11 But if we're like that in the movie or in work,
22:15 we're like that at home.
22:17 Maybe there's a factor that made it a medium.
22:20 We make up more,
22:21 we work more.
22:22 During the pandemic, we did a lot of things
22:25 for the endorsement.
22:28 So we know how to work with each other
22:30 and we know how to adjust to each other.
22:32 And one thing for sure,
22:34 we're consistent in everything.
22:37 Alright, same.
22:38 So congratulations for sure.
22:40 I'm sure everyone will be waiting for the rewind.
22:43 Thank you. Congratulations everyone.
22:44 Thank you.
