00:00 I was bullied because of my skin color, like having this morena skin.
00:04 And I have a lot of blemishes.
00:07 So, I didn't grow up pretty.
00:11 I have an imperfect body.
00:14 I'm not the super sexy type.
00:16 I don't have this, I don't have that.
00:18 I was so harsh with myself.
00:20 You know, updaters,
00:22 Shuvie is really an island girl.
00:26 True and true, by heart, since birth.
00:30 And her blemishes, it's like her second skin.
00:34 Yes, I grew up near the sea all my life.
00:37 So, when you go out of our house, it's always the sea.
00:41 I used to be in the sea for 10 hours.
00:44 That's why my skin color got darker.
00:46 Because I don't like to stay in the sea.
00:48 And I always have blemishes.
00:52 Because I'm a foreigner who's always on Bantayan Island.
00:54 So, I'm used to getting my skin blemished.
00:56 Okay, updaters.
01:03 I'm excited to talk to our next guest.
01:06 Because I heard that she's going to talk to us a lot.
01:10 In the research, I saw that she has no boyfriend since birth.
01:17 Wow!
01:18 I consider her as one of the funny ladies of Sparkle.
01:24 And now, she's a sexy funny lady.
01:26 Let's welcome Shuvie Entrata.
01:29 Hello! How are you all?
01:32 Good morning!
01:34 Shuvie, I said in the introduction,
01:37 funny lady of Sparkle.
01:40 And now, she's a sexy funny lady.
01:41 Because I saw the billboard yesterday.
01:44 What was your reaction when you saw that?
01:49 I'm very, very grateful.
01:50 Of course, I got a billboard in GMA.
01:53 You got a billboard of Mark Nickdao.
01:56 How was the experience for you?
01:58 It was my first time working with Sir Mark Nickdao.
02:03 He's really good at getting the billboard.
02:05 But what made it more special was Sir Nelson.
02:08 Because I was with the ladies.
02:11 I was so happy during that shoot.
02:13 Although, we didn't eat anything.
02:15 You know, everyone's hungry.
02:16 But it was fun because
02:18 we all helped each other to be happy.
02:22 So, I'm very, very grateful because I was with them.
02:26 I recently told Peyta.
02:30 She said that during the shoot,
02:32 you were really supportive of each other
02:35 because you were all hungry.
02:36 Anytime, you might get a headache.
02:39 But thankfully, you didn't.
02:42 Because, girls, we can do this.
02:45 And you saw the result.
02:47 Yes, there were some girls
02:52 who doubted if it was okay.
02:58 Because some of them are wholesome.
03:02 Some of them are really concerned.
03:06 But the common denominator of all Sir Nelson's girls
03:10 is that we're very confident.
03:12 And in a way, bold.
03:15 Not just bold, but sexy.
03:18 But not just that.
03:19 Empowered.
03:20 The ladies.
03:22 And I'm very grateful that we were all together
03:26 because aside from helping each other,
03:29 Sir Nelson didn't do anything bad.
03:33 He didn't do anything bad.
03:34 He was very easy to work with.
03:35 Yes.
03:37 You know, my first reaction, Shuvie, was
03:41 when I was looking at the billboard,
03:43 it took me around 5 minutes just staring at it.
03:46 Because it was just so beautiful.
03:49 And almost all of you,
03:51 I mean, I was able to see you, right?
03:55 But when I saw you on the billboard,
03:57 you were like different people.
03:59 When you were there.
04:01 Were you scared during the pictorial?
04:04 Was I scared?
04:05 Yes.
04:05 Because I'm sure it was your first time.
04:07 I really wanted to do two-piece.
04:11 Yes.
04:14 I'll go there later.
04:17 My first ever billboard was with an artiste.
04:22 It was with my endorsement.
04:25 It was my first time when Edsa was on the billboard.
04:28 I cried.
04:29 Now that I saw the billboard at the GMA,
04:33 it was my second.
04:35 But I felt so...
04:38 I thought he was like...
04:39 Oh, I'm talking to you.
04:40 I thought it was Sir Nelson.
04:41 But it wasn't.
04:42 What I felt was, Sir Nelson,
04:45 was I deserving to be here?
04:49 That was my first thought, Sir Nelson.
04:51 Upon looking, staring at the billboard
04:54 while I was with Edsa,
04:56 was I deserving to be with them?
04:59 Because I was the newest.
05:02 Although, when I was staring at it,
05:05 all the memories came back while we were doing the shoot.
05:08 And I'm just so happy that
05:12 Sparkle gave me this opportunity
05:15 to be with them because I learned a lot from them.
05:18 I'm not the youngest, but I feel like
05:21 I can learn so much from them.
05:23 Because they're not just any ordinary girls out there, Sir Nelson.
05:28 They are both talented, beautiful.
05:32 All in all, they're empowered as a woman.
05:34 So I'm very grateful that I'm with 10, Sir Nelson.
05:38 You deserve it.
05:40 You deserve a girl.
05:42 Yes.
05:43 Because some might be shocked,
05:45 "Why is there another one? This is new."
05:47 Because all of them...
05:50 Wait, what did your parents say?
05:53 They were very happy, Sir Nelson.
05:55 They were very proud that
05:57 they wanted to go to the GMA.
06:00 They wanted to get the billboard and go home.
06:03 Ever since, Sir Nelson, they were very supportive with my dreams.
06:08 Especially that I'm very far away from them.
06:12 They're in Cebu. I'm here in Manila.
06:15 I'm living alone.
06:17 So ever since I decided to live this journey, Sir Nelson,
06:23 they were very supportive.
06:24 And now, all of the posts are being shared.
06:27 All of the posts are being sparkled.
06:30 Yes, they're really proud.
06:32 Shuvie, you said earlier that you really like to do two-piece.
06:36 You know, updaters,
06:38 Shuvie is really an island girl.
06:41 True and true.
06:42 By heart, since birth.
06:45 And doing two-piece is her second skin.
06:49 You grew up in Bantayan Island?
06:53 Yes, I grew up near the sea all my life.
06:56 So our house, when you go out, it's the sea.
07:00 I really grew up on the beach.
07:06 So growing up, my friends are fishes.
07:09 They're not real people.
07:11 So that's how I grew up as an island girl.
07:14 So you're the real-life Moana.
07:16 This is true.
07:19 I used to spend 10 hours by the sea.
07:22 So the color really darkened because I didn't want to stop swimming in the sea.
07:27 So I remember when I woke up,
07:30 what I did at 5am,
07:32 was jogging by the sea.
07:34 And I always wore two-piece.
07:37 Because not everyone wears pajamas.
07:40 Because most of the foreigners are from Bantayan Island.
07:43 So they're used to taking off their clothes.
07:45 When I came to Manila and became an artist,
07:49 I became a bit careful.
07:54 Because when I was discussing with my manager,
07:57 let's try to be wholesome.
07:59 Because you're giving everything to social media.
08:04 Maybe they won't look for you.
08:06 But you're holding out.
08:08 In fairness.
08:09 I tried.
08:10 Because I'm here in Manila and I'm going to wear two-piece.
08:13 But I'm just wearing...
08:15 You went to the mall and wore two-piece.
08:17 Because I think being sexy,
08:23 not because I like to take off my clothes,
08:26 or wear two-piece.
08:28 It comes with my mindset as a woman.
08:31 What are my thoughts in my head?
08:34 Why am I sexy in my own way?
08:36 So I shouldn't just take off my clothes to be sexy.
08:40 Now, I appreciate that
08:44 even if I'm covered in something,
08:48 unlike before,
08:50 where I just take off my clothes in the sea.
08:52 Now, I'm very more...
08:55 In a way,
08:57 I'm more preserved
09:03 as a woman.
09:05 And I know where to put my things.
09:10 Because I'm adjusting, Sir Nelson.
09:14 You're reserved.
09:16 Shuby, what makes you that confident?
09:20 Where did you get your confidence from?
09:25 I was bullied because of my skin color, Sir Nelson.
09:29 Growing up having this morena skin.
09:32 And I have a lot of blemishes.
09:35 So I didn't grow up pretty.
09:39 So when I grew up, I joined pageants.
09:44 So when I joined the pageant,
09:46 in the swimsuit competition,
09:49 I was so hesitant to wear my swimsuit
09:51 because I have stretch marks,
09:53 I have an imperfect body.
09:56 I'm not the sexy type.
09:58 I don't have this or that.
10:00 I always say that to myself.
10:02 I was so harsh with myself.
10:04 Until my experience with pageantry passed.
10:10 And I grew as a woman.
10:13 I've learned to love myself more
10:15 when I embraced my imperfections.
10:18 Because when I embraced Sir Nelson,
10:22 I became more confident.
10:24 Because I'm imperfect, but I'm beautiful.
10:27 The moment I decided not to care
10:31 about what other people say,
10:33 and just listen to what I really love,
10:35 what I really want,
10:36 that's when I became more confident as a woman.
10:39 I don't need to make them happy.
10:41 As long as I'm happy, that's okay.
10:43 You know, what we're talking about is good.
10:47 Because personally, it pains me
10:50 whenever we Filipinos,
10:54 some of us would look down
10:58 at our fellow Filipinos who are darker,
11:01 who have a point when they speak.
11:04 But that's the beauty of every Filipino.
11:08 Because our color is really diverse.
11:11 And of course, the point of the people in the North
11:17 is different from the point of the people in the Visayas,
11:19 the point of the people in the South,
11:20 and the point of the Tagalog people.
11:22 But we Filipinos, we like to put down Filipinos,
11:27 especially when we meet abroad.
11:31 It's like, "Oh, he's a Visaya."
11:33 "Oh, what's that?"
11:35 It really pains me.
11:37 It's really nice.
11:40 I'm more attractive to the person who's lucky
11:46 because their culture has grown.
11:51 Of course, when you grow up in the province,
11:54 your culture is different.
11:56 It's really local.
11:57 And when I first came to Siridus,
12:00 I was really having a hard time speaking Tagalog
12:03 because Cebuanos are known to be--
12:07 We are Cebuanos, but we can't speak Tagalog directly.
12:11 We can only speak English because there are a lot of foreigners.
12:14 Exactly, I was about to say that
12:15 because I have friends who are Cebuano
12:17 and when they speak Tagalog, they're not fluent.
12:21 But when you speak English, it's complete.
12:23 They really laugh when you speak Tagalog.
12:26 They really laugh.
12:28 "Why is she speaking Tagalog?"
12:31 Because it's not normal for us.
12:33 Although we have a Filipino subject,
12:35 but it's not, in the general public,
12:39 Sir Nelson, a fully accepted Tagalog.
12:43 It's not like Visaya.
12:45 Now that I'm here and I face the struggle,
12:47 I feel like I needed to talk to my manager once before.
12:51 "Miss Jan, what should I do with my Tagalog?"
12:54 "Miss Jan, please help me
12:56 because my Tagalog is being bullied in the TV series."
13:00 In the TV series, of course, you need to have that straight Tagalog.
13:05 So I don't take any credit, Sir Nelson,
13:09 of where I am now, my achievement.
13:12 I'm still far, Sir Nelson,
13:15 but I felt like I've come a long way.
13:20 And all the credit is for Sparkle, Sir Nelson,
13:25 because they didn't let me go with this Visaya accent.
13:28 I enrolled in a Filipino subject
13:30 so I could speak Tagalog there and study.
13:33 But you know, Shuvia, correct me if I'm wrong.
13:37 When I see you, when I hear you like that,
13:42 I feel happy.
13:44 It's like, "Oh, it's beautiful. Very Filipino.
13:48 Very... how would I explain it?"
13:51 It's not like you're pretending.
13:55 It's like Filipino realness.
13:59 That's how it came to me.
14:01 It's not like you're pretending to be classy,
14:05 that your point is, "Sorry for the..."
14:09 Like the saying, "Kolehiya la English."
14:13 It's not like that.
14:15 And when I see you, I don't laugh.
14:18 I'm happy with you.
14:20 And I'm very vocal about that.
14:22 When I speak to the Sparkle people,
14:27 I tell them, "You know, Shuvie is very funny."
14:30 As in.
14:31 Plus, of course, you're a big factor
14:35 in making people laugh as a person.
14:37 That's it.
14:39 Sir Nelson, thank you for saying this.
14:42 Because it's hard for our industry
14:45 to appreciate people like Bisaya, like me.
14:48 Although, Tagaporobinsya people know that.
14:51 Like me, all the people in Bisaya,
14:55 they share the same struggle with me.
14:58 And being the first, I'm not the first,
15:01 but being one of them,
15:04 here in the industry,
15:06 who has the power to influence other people,
15:10 to share knowledge,
15:12 that we're like this,
15:13 and we deserve to be accepted too.
15:16 So I'm just grateful
15:18 if there's someone who understands,
15:20 like you, who's happy.
15:21 Because I'm not doing this out of fun,
15:24 Sir Nelson.
15:25 It's me, it's who I am.
15:26 So my Bisaya accent makes me unique,
15:29 makes me who I am.
15:32 Makes you beautiful.
15:34 Yes.
15:35 And you said earlier
15:37 that you're going to go far, right?
15:42 But I think you've already set foot in the door.
15:48 And you've started walking
15:53 to where you want to be.
15:55 And you've already gone far.
15:58 That's all because of Sparkle, Sir Nelson.
16:01 Because they opened the door.
16:03 I just walked through the door
16:05 that they gave me.
16:07 And right now,
16:09 all I can do is to exceed their expectations,
16:13 to just do my best.
16:16 But wait, Shuvie,
16:18 I know what you're talking about.
16:20 You know, sorry to cut you off,
16:22 but what about your expectations?
16:24 That's hard.
16:25 I've lived all my life, Sir Nelson,
16:27 that I do everything I want.
16:30 So now, I think what would make me happy
16:34 is to make other people happy.
16:36 My purpose in life, Sir Nelson,
16:39 this is just my last week,
16:42 I journaled my purpose in life.
16:46 What makes me happy?
16:48 And to see other people happy.
16:51 For example, Bisaya, Pudinshana,
16:54 people proud.
16:56 I get to inspire them.
16:58 "You can do it. If I can, you can do it too."
17:02 That itself, Sir Nelson,
17:05 really makes me the most happiest person in the world.
17:09 And that's enough.
17:11 My expectations for myself,
17:13 that's enough for them.
17:15 Yes, yes.
17:16 Okay, Shuvie.
17:18 What else do you want to achieve now?
17:23 Knowing that, of course,
17:25 you've done a few teleseries,
17:27 and you have a lot of endorsements.
17:30 Maybe, Sir Nelson,
17:32 because I really want to achieve something now.
17:36 I really want to learn the craft of acting.
17:39 I want to bring Filipino viewers
17:43 where I came from.
17:46 Why don't you bring me to Bantayan Island?
17:49 I've been wanting to go there for a long time.
17:51 Yes, but it's only 3 hours from Cebu.
17:54 Even if it's a variety show,
17:56 that's what I really want to dream of.
17:58 To bring GMA.
18:00 I want to show them where I grew up.
18:03 Because I'm just so proud of my island,
18:06 of our island, Bantayan Island.
18:08 Because until now, it's still my home.
18:12 And I'm so proud because it's like Boracay, Sir Nelson.
18:15 I want to show the whole world
18:18 that I grew up on a beautiful island.
18:21 So, that's my goal now.
18:23 To have a show or a variety show
18:26 where I can bring GMA there
18:28 so that Filipino viewers can see it too.
18:31 I have a question.
18:34 Love or career?
18:36 Career.
18:37 Che!
18:38 That was fast.
18:40 Right away?
18:42 It's easier to say Sir Nelson
18:45 because I never had.
18:47 Although puppy love I experienced.
18:50 But...
18:51 No one is courting you now?
18:53 Maybe if they see your billboard,
18:57 a lot of people will court you.
19:00 The people who are courting me,
19:02 they just pass by, Sir Nelson.
19:04 Wow, they just pass by.
19:05 It has been my choice ever since
19:07 because I date to marry Sir Nelson.
19:09 Wait, wait, you got ghosted?
19:11 You got ghosted?
19:12 Ghosted?
19:13 I'm the ghost?
19:15 Ah!
19:16 Why?
19:18 I have a problem Sir Nelson.
19:22 I'm not really a boyfriend, girlfriend,
19:26 wife.
19:28 Wow!
19:29 You're courting and you're already
19:31 thankful the following day.
19:33 No, Sir Nelson.
19:35 Because at first,
19:36 I was so focused on my studies.
19:38 So I said, after I finish my studies,
19:41 I will date.
19:42 I don't want distraction
19:44 because I'm an overachiever as a person.
19:46 And now that I'm here as an artist,
19:49 I don't have time.
19:51 There are people who are courting,
19:53 Sir Nelson.
19:54 But they're just there because
19:57 I know my priority now.
19:59 Where do you draw the line?
20:01 Like, wait,
20:03 this is getting serious.
20:07 I try to get to know them.
20:09 Like dates,
20:10 you know,
20:12 dinner, lunch.
20:14 I can do that.
20:16 I can talk to them.
20:18 And then,
20:19 I just see a little bit of,
20:21 I just see a little bit of,
20:23 oh, there's something off.
20:25 I get discouraged right away.
20:27 The more I get in love,
20:29 the more I get discouraged.
20:31 So,
20:32 it's not,
20:33 there are people who are not for me.
20:36 Because at the age of 22,
20:38 Sir Nelson,
20:39 I was able to be single.
20:41 I was able to be alone.
20:44 You were so young at 22.
20:46 It's hard for me to be in a relationship,
20:48 especially if all my life I was single.
20:50 So,
20:51 when I feel love,
20:55 I get discouraged.
20:57 Wait,
20:59 what's your red flag?
21:01 What do you see?
21:03 I don't like it.
21:04 Is it on the first date?
21:06 Yes.
21:07 Maybe it's the smell.
21:09 What they do before you ghost them.
21:11 What?
21:13 The smell.
21:15 This is literal.
21:18 Yes.
21:19 Why did I go on the second date
21:21 if it has a smell on the first date?
21:23 Yes.
21:24 That's non-negotiable.
21:27 The hygiene is non-negotiable for me.
21:30 For me,
21:31 that's non-negotiable.
21:32 If you smell it,
21:34 you'll be like,
21:35 "Hmm."
21:36 Sir Nelson,
21:39 do you like that?
21:41 Because I prepared for it.
21:43 I like it right away.
21:44 I know it's the first date.
21:46 I know.
21:48 I have that feeling.
21:50 I don't know.
21:51 I haven't done this for a long time.
21:53 I haven't been single for a long time.
21:54 But before,
21:55 when I go out on dates,
21:56 I have a lingering embrace.
21:58 When we see each other,
21:59 we're like, "Hey!"
22:02 We're at the date place.
22:04 I have a lingering embrace.
22:06 "Hey, how are you?"
22:07 But the truth is,
22:08 when I smell him,
22:09 "Oh!"
22:10 It's true.
22:11 I promise.
22:12 Oh my gosh.
22:14 I'm not like that.
22:15 But I smell Sir Nelson.
22:17 That's a tip.
22:18 No.
22:19 That's my tip for you.
22:21 Because sometimes,
22:22 you can't smell when you're far away.
22:24 Yes.
22:25 When you embrace,
22:26 "Shh!"
22:27 Like that.
22:29 So, you know what I mean.
22:31 And when you're talking,
22:33 sometimes,
22:34 when I'm talking to him,
22:36 I'll say something like,
22:39 "Shuby, where did you grow up?"
22:42 Something like that.
22:43 And when he answers,
22:44 I'll get closer to him
22:45 so I can hear him.
22:46 But the truth is,
22:47 I smell him.
22:49 That's my pet peeve.
22:54 When it rains,
22:56 I smell him.
22:58 It's okay to set standards for yourself.
23:00 Especially when you are trying to be,
23:04 you know,
23:05 to yourself,
23:07 you're trying to be
23:08 smelly too.
23:09 You're trying to be,
23:11 in a way,
23:13 approachable.
23:14 Because,
23:15 you know,
23:16 that's why I'm single.
23:18 Because my standards are too high.
23:20 Your standards are not high
23:22 when you want to smell.
23:24 Right?
23:25 [laughs]
23:27 It's okay for me
23:29 because of the perfume.
23:31 Shuby,
23:37 I always end the podcast
23:39 by turning the tables around.
23:40 Ask Nelson,
23:42 you're the one who's going to ask me.
23:44 Oh, I'm getting nervous
23:46 when you're going to ask Sir Nelson.
23:48 Don't be a Bisaya.
23:49 I'm not good at Bisaya.
23:51 Oh, right.
23:52 Since summer is approaching, Sir Nelson,
23:55 can you be
23:58 mugging, daring, or sexy on TV?
24:03 If given a chance.
24:06 Oh,
24:07 if given a chance.
24:09 [laughs]
24:10 As you just said.
24:12 Oh, my voice.
24:13 I'm getting nervous.
24:14 Enforcement.
24:15 Well, one,
24:17 because I feel like,
24:19 sorry,
24:20 I'm really sorry.
24:21 Sorry but not sorry.
24:22 I feel like,
24:24 even if I'm wearing a suit,
24:26 even if I'm wearing a coat,
24:27 I feel sexy.
24:28 Why?
24:29 Because,
24:31 you said that
24:32 you're the only one who makes yourself sexy.
24:34 Sometimes,
24:36 even if you're wearing two-piece,
24:37 even if people look sexy at you,
24:39 sometimes,
24:41 you still think,
24:42 "Oh, no, I'm not sexy."
24:43 And you said that
24:45 even if you're covered,
24:47 you can still feel your sexiness.
24:50 I always have that feeling,
24:54 especially when I go on air,
24:57 do I look sexy?
24:59 Do I look like that?
25:00 I ask myself that.
25:02 And I always tell myself,
25:03 "You're the only one who can say that to yourself."
25:05 You look okay.
25:07 Because,
25:10 it will exude in your aura.
25:14 People will see
25:15 if you're showing yourself.
25:17 So,
25:19 even if it's not summer,
25:20 I can still be sexy.
25:21 That's right.
25:24 Because sex is being confident.
25:25 But,
25:27 let's not put it in the definition
25:30 of fashion magazines
25:32 what is sexy.
25:33 That's different.
25:34 We're the ones who define
25:36 how sexy we are.
25:37 That's amazing!
25:39 Thank you, Sir Nelson.
25:41 Thank you so much.
25:42 I will end this by,
25:43 like what Christina Aguilera said,
25:47 "We are beautiful in every single way."
25:50 Thank you so much, Sir Nelson.
25:53 Thank you, Shuby.
25:54 I'm glad that we were able to talk today.
25:58 I hope you'll be back here
26:00 on Updated with Nelson.
26:01 Because you're imparting so many
26:03 funny things to us.
26:04 I'm still available to you, Sir Nelson.
26:09 I'll still be available.
26:11 But I hope that next time,
26:12 when I interview you,
26:13 I'll ask you about your new love life.
26:16 I hope you'll have one, Sir Nelson.
26:18 Maybe next year.
26:20 Thank you!
26:22 Thank you!
26:23 Take care!
26:24 Take care!
26:25 See you next time!
