00:53 Special afternoon.
00:55 (speaking in foreign language)
00:56 Please welcome my very special guest,
00:58 the one and the only concert queen,
01:00 Pops Fernandez.
01:01 (audience cheering)
01:04 I remember 1985, it was December 7th and 11th,
01:13 your concert, at the Rizal Football Stadium.
01:16 - Oh my gosh, yes.
01:17 (speaking in foreign language)
01:21 - Unfortunately, (speaking in foreign language)
01:30 - It's not stampede.
01:30 - It's not a stampede.
01:31 (speaking in foreign language)
01:35 - A lot of people went their way ahead.
01:39 (speaking in foreign language)
01:43 So, we decided to cut short the show.
01:53 (speaking in foreign language)
01:58 Now, my performers during our time, okay?
02:01 Of course, I'm a lot older than Pops,
02:03 but I was a very active publicist during this time.
02:07 Martin started, one of the biggest concerts of Martin
02:09 was in '82.
02:10 There was a breakthrough concert of Martin.
02:13 - Yes, yes.
02:14 (speaking in foreign language)
02:16 - On the right track.
02:18 - On the right track.
02:18 (speaking in foreign language)
02:21 - Right, folk arts theater, you know, my venues.
02:23 But, very few people dared the Rizal Football Stadium,
02:27 and she did.
02:28 That's why she is a concert queen.
02:30 (audience cheering)
02:31 (speaking in foreign language)
02:35 - Well, those were the days.
02:42 (speaking in foreign language)
02:44 Wonderful memories.
02:45 - Wonderful and beautiful memories.
02:47 And, (speaking in foreign language)
02:49 - Thank you.
02:49 (speaking in foreign language)
02:52 (speaking in foreign language)
02:56 - A lot of people think when they say,
03:02 (speaking in foreign language)
03:06 - Let me go back to that.
03:10 (speaking in foreign language)
03:12 You were being criticized.
03:13 (speaking in foreign language)
03:17 (speaking in foreign language)
03:21, let's go back to the 80s.
03:26 (speaking in foreign language)
03:30 Let's go back to the 80s.
03:51 (speaking in foreign language)
03:54 A concert queen.
03:56 (speaking in foreign language)
04:00 That I've never gotten the chance to ask you.
04:04 Were you ever rivals with Sharon?
04:10 In so far as you were concerned?
04:15 (speaking in foreign language)
04:17 - I know that the people pitted us
04:20 - Against each other. - Against each other
04:22 because I.S.,
04:26 schlang, schlang.
04:28 And of course, we had the same manager,
04:30 discoverer then, (speaking in foreign language)
04:33 (speaking in foreign language)
04:37 He revealed that Gary was--
04:45 (speaking in foreign language)
04:47 You know this.
04:48 Am I right?
04:51 Because it was an interview, Martin.
04:54 Martin, forgive me.
04:55 You know how much I love you.
04:56 That Gary--
04:58 (speaking in foreign language)
05:02 You were the it girl during that time.
05:08 (speaking in foreign language)
05:12 Okay, but he was in the process of,
05:18 he was courting you.
05:19 - He would call me to wee hours of the morning.
05:23 (speaking in foreign language)
05:25 Because (speaking in foreign language)
05:30 - So he didn't like you and Martin?
05:33 - Not at all, no.
05:34 - All right, so Gary was there.
05:36 Oh, Ruel was your love team at one point.
05:38 - Love team, yes.
05:39 (speaking in foreign language)
05:41 - Yes, yes.
05:42 (speaking in foreign language)
05:43 (laughing)
05:46 (speaking in foreign language)
05:50 No, because we did just say you love me.
05:57 And of course, Ruel is my partner.
06:00 But Ratsky, (speaking in foreign language)
06:05 (speaking in foreign language)
06:07 over the phone.
06:08 - Oh.
06:10 - And I think back then,
06:11 (speaking in foreign language)
06:14 Sorry, (speaking in foreign language)
06:19 - On the phone, (speaking in foreign language)
06:25 - On the phone.
06:25 So one time, (speaking in foreign language)
06:30 Yes, that ended our phone conversation, yeah.
06:40 (speaking in foreign language)
06:44 - Okay, Martin.
06:46 Why and how did you end up with Martin?
06:51 - Like I said, (speaking in foreign language)
06:53 it was the constant togetherness.
06:56 - Okay.
06:57 (speaking in foreign language)
07:01 Fans, they loved us together.
07:03 We really do have chemistry, you know?
07:07 And, (speaking in foreign language)
07:12 Although, (speaking in foreign language)
07:20 (laughing)
07:27 (speaking in foreign language)
07:29 See, Martin.
07:29 So it's easy to fall in love with Martin.
07:31 (speaking in foreign language)
07:32 - Persistent.
07:33 (speaking in foreign language)
07:34 (speaking in foreign language)
07:38 - I mean, another common friend is Joy Ortega.
07:46 - Yes, yes, yes.
07:47 (speaking in foreign language)
07:48 - But Pops is always loved.
07:50 - Oh, thank you.

07:57 Always loved.

08:01 you have this wonderful music, "Always Loved."
08:06 Talk about it.
08:08 - "Always Loved," I recorded a song
08:11 after how many years?
08:13 (speaking in foreign language)
08:14 "Always Loved."
08:15 The song is about loving yourself,
08:18 reminding yourself to love yourself first.
08:22 And if you feel now, (speaking in foreign language)
08:26 there is definitely someone up there,
08:29 up there who really loves you.
08:31 You're never alone, you are always loved.
08:34 (speaking in foreign language)
08:35 - Okay, so where does "Get It Poppin'" come into the picture?
08:39 - Because we wanted a fast song.
08:40 (laughing)
08:42 We wanted a dance song.
08:44 I have not really recorded a fast song in a long time,
08:47 so I'm very, very excited.
08:49 (speaking in foreign language)
08:58 - Well, I think direct Fritz had a lot to do with that also.

09:04 and he was the one who really gave me
09:09 the strength and the confidence.

13:34 (speaking in foreign language)
13:35 Because we've been friends for a long, long, long, long time.
13:40 Sir Regina, Sir Regine, your friend and my friend,

13:48 She talked about (speaking in foreign language)
13:51 I'll try to remember this as best I can.

13:57 I remember--
13:58 (speaking in foreign language)
14:01 - Listen to this, listen to this.
14:03 - Yes.

14:17 - Yeah, but because yeah--
14:19 (speaking in foreign language)

14:28 that (speaking in foreign language)
14:32 - Well, in our industry, (speaking in foreign language)
14:34 it's a cycle.
14:36 There will always be (speaking in foreign language)
14:41 (speaking in foreign language)
14:45 - And you're lucky.
14:55 Because up to this moment,
14:57 you are able to do what you love with passion.
15:02 You're able to do your concerts,
15:03 you're able to record your songs.
15:05 You were about to say something, go ahead.
15:06 - There was a time, Tito Boy,
15:09 since you're bringing it up now,
15:10 I got depressed also.
15:11 (speaking in foreign language)
15:13 Publicly, but there was a time I got depressed.
15:16 I felt (speaking in foreign language)
15:21 I tried to do other things
15:32 because I didn't feel good about myself.
15:35 (speaking in foreign language)
15:38 And that bothered me a lot.
15:40 (speaking in foreign language)
15:44 I prayed a lot.
15:51 I kept saying,
15:53 (speaking in foreign language)
16:08 And I kinda,
16:08 (speaking in foreign language)
16:12 I told myself,
16:15 (speaking in foreign language)
16:19 When fear takes over,
16:31 which we should not allow,
16:33 (speaking in foreign language)
16:37 (speaking in foreign language)
16:41 That's why you always have to strengthen yourself
16:44 and believe in your (speaking in foreign language)
16:47 - And what is more interesting is today,
16:49 you call yourself Lollipops.
16:51 - Yeah.
16:52 (laughing)
16:53 I just had to find a cute name.
16:55 (laughing)
16:56 - I'm cute.
16:56 Take me to that moment,
16:59 the first time you saw the baby.
17:01 - Well, I only saw Finn.
17:03 It's baby Finn, Finneas.
17:05 (speaking in foreign language)
17:09 Thank God for technology.
17:12 - Correct.
17:13 The very first time you saw.
17:15 (speaking in foreign language)

17:28 At 2 a.m., 3 a.m.
17:30 'Cause at number one,
17:31 "Oh my God,"
17:32 (speaking in foreign language)
17:33 I can't believe.
17:34 I have reached that moment now.
17:36 (speaking in foreign language)
17:38 And it's not,
17:42 I don't want it.
17:42 It's like having another child.
17:46 (speaking in foreign language)
17:47 I felt I missed out because I'm so far away.
17:50 (speaking in foreign language)
17:52 I am so far away.
17:54 But I can't wait to be with, of course--
17:59 - To hold the baby, to see the baby.

18:04 and to be with my boys, and of course, my aunt.
18:07 - Robin, of course.
18:08 - Robin and Graham.
18:09 I've never enjoyed my boys
18:12 more than I'm enjoying them now.
