00:00 I chose Firefly and before that Circus.
00:05 Actually, in real life, I wasn't a fan of fantasy.
00:12 But when I did my first projects, I was more of a fan of realism.
00:17 So, the projects that I received, like this one,
00:22 it was like a challenge for me.
00:25 I was challenging myself if I could do it or not.
00:29 So, with that, a lot of things changed for me.
00:33 Because there were a lot of firsts,
00:35 this was my first time doing this,
00:37 the chroma chroma, and then the flying,
00:40 the first time, which I was happy about
00:44 because I learned a lot as a director.
00:49 And then, when it comes to fantasy, when you combine the concept of family,
00:59 family values, the series becomes richer.
01:03 You become more proud, you become more thankful that you're part of the project.
01:09 So, I didn't answer, right?
01:16 That's what changed for me.
01:19 Because it was always my first time, it was always different.
01:24 So, it's hard not to compare it to the first projects you did
01:29 because they're both good,
01:31 they're both positive, that you're being embraced as a person,
01:36 as a storyteller, and so on.
01:40 You don't have to pressure them directly because your last movie,
01:43 Blockbuster, Award-winning, your last series,
01:46 - I'll just say it. - Very successful?
01:49 No, not really.
01:51 No, because for me, even if, for example,
01:54 Firefly or the ones I did,
01:57 even if they won, I always look at them as,
02:00 "I'm only as good as my team."
02:02 I don't always equate myself with just being me.
02:06 But it's a job for the whole team,
02:09 everyone's job to make the movie look good.
02:15 So, I don't pressure them because I know that
02:19 the people I collaborate with, especially the creatives,
02:24 the artists, the TV, cinematographers,
02:27 all of them, I know that we're a team
02:31 and we're all trying to make the show look good.
02:37 So, I don't feel that I'm the only one who's responsible for everything.
02:42 Because I'm just looking at myself as a part of a team.
02:45 It's just that, I'm the director, I'm the one leading,
02:50 you're the leader, not the boss, something like that.
02:53 You just have to check, you just have to compare
02:56 the skills of each department,
02:59 and you have to check how you're going to balance it
03:04 so that the best version of the material will be released.
03:10 Which is what we all aim for,
03:13 to make a good series,
03:16 especially that it shows values.
03:25 That's what we really want, more than anything.
03:30 Speaking of team, what was your reaction when you found out
03:35 you'll be working with Marian Rivera and Sir Gabby Concepcion?
03:40 What do you think is special about their working chemistry?
03:45 I posted this on Facebook, and a lot of people liked it.
03:49 Just kidding.
03:50 They shared it.
03:53 I never imagined I'd work with Marian, Sir Gabby,
04:01 actually all of them.
04:03 Because when I started, we all know I started in India.
04:08 I started in...
04:11 I'm not really into it,
04:13 but I never saw myself working in the mainstream.
04:17 Which is when I accepted the challenge,
04:20 because I saw the responsibility as a storyteller,
04:25 that the more people are watching you,
04:28 maybe that's the pressure,
04:31 the more pressure you have to show them something good.
04:36 Especially Marian, she has a lot of followers.
04:40 You're dead if you show them something bad.
04:43 So that's the pressure,
04:46 the pressure to show them something good.
04:50 What's the next question?
04:51 I'm taking too long to answer.
04:53 Oh, the chemistry.
04:55 From the start,
04:57 I'm sorry I'm just kidding,
04:59 when I saw them on set,
05:01 their aura was so bright.
05:05 Like for example,
05:07 specifically Amelia,
05:09 when you see them,
05:11 you just smile.
05:13 Their aura, their brightness,
05:17 they fit the show, the series, the story.
05:25 That's what I always feel,
05:28 when you see them,
05:31 you just smile,
05:34 or their aura is so bright.
05:38 I think so.
05:42 Thank you, Direk.
05:44 Thank you, Direk. Thank you, Sir Alan.
05:46 Next, we have Miss Rose Garcia of PEP.
05:48 Of course, the prime time queen,
06:05 who will be back after more than five years.
06:09 How are you?
06:11 First question,
06:12 why did you choose to return with Guardian Alien?
06:16 Second question,
06:18 how was the adjustment,
06:20 considering you have busy schedule
06:23 when you were doing this?
06:25 That's first.
06:27 Well, GMA presented to me,
06:31 and this is what I really felt,
06:33 I said, "Oh, this is a good idea,
06:35 because before me,
06:37 and I'm sure my children will watch this,
06:39 because I want to make a series
06:41 that my children can watch,
06:43 and I'll be proud."
06:44 I said, "This is the prime moment in my life,
06:47 that whenever I do something,
06:49 I want my children to be proud of me."
06:51 So, this is my Guardian Alien.
06:53 You saw our baby.
06:56 I said, "It's worth it,
06:59 waiting five years to do this."
07:01 So, what's the adjustment?
07:05 Adjustment,
07:06 when I first joined them,
07:08 I really struggled,
07:09 because after five years,
07:11 I'm returning to the show,
07:12 I don't know where my angle is,
07:14 where the lighting is,
07:15 so I really struggled.
07:17 He said, "What are you going to do?"
07:19 No, I really struggled.
07:21 Even the lines,
07:22 it's a bit difficult.
07:24 It's hard to memorize the lines and everything,
07:27 but because of the help of people around me,
07:30 my work became easier.
07:32 Special mention to Mare,
07:34 our PA,
07:35 who helped me with the set.
07:39 I did the scenes,
07:40 she knows the lines,
07:41 she helped me ahead of time.
07:43 And then, Direk,
07:44 he didn't neglect me,
07:45 what I should do,
07:46 and I should show acting in this show,
07:49 because before everything started,
07:50 we talked,
07:51 "Direk, this is a bit difficult."
07:53 I said, "In GMA,
07:54 give me a show,
07:56 it won't be too difficult,
07:57 because when I get home,
07:58 I'm tired."
07:59 Aside from this beautiful story,
08:01 in the very short time,
08:02 I don't have lights sometimes,
08:04 because I'm an alien.
08:06 Just kidding.
08:07 So, it became easier for me.
08:09 And I said,
08:10 this is what I look forward to,
08:12 to be able to do a good project,
08:14 to be able to watch my children,
08:15 to be proud of them.
08:17 At the same time,
08:18 I'm proud to say that I was able to make a family again
08:20 because of this show.
08:22 So, all of this,
08:23 I'm very blessed.
08:25 So, that's it.
08:26 That's it.
08:27 That's it.
08:30 You and Gavi,
08:31 you all know, right?
08:32 It was supposed to be a few years ago.
08:35 How many years have passed?
08:37 Four?
08:38 You've been with me for a long time.
08:40 Just kidding.
08:42 So, it's been a long time,
08:43 and it's finally happening.
08:45 So, how was it working with Gavi Concepcion?
08:49 Kuya's work is very light.
08:51 Like, in terms of food,
08:53 there's no one to be like him.
08:55 He's very good at his job,
08:56 he's very light at his job.
08:58 And our moments,
08:59 he likes to joke.
09:01 So, he really makes the moments light.
09:04 And the moments that I appreciate,
09:06 the ones that we talked about,
09:08 our lives,
09:09 I said,
09:10 "Kara, the question is,
09:11 if you have a cast that you want to switch with for one day,"
09:16 I said,
09:17 because I saw how much he loves his family,
09:20 and that's what I appreciate about him.
09:21 He's a very good person.
09:23 So, how was the point of meeting Gavi and Ike?
09:26 Gavi, Gavi.
09:28 G-Gashuna.
09:29 G-Gashuna.
09:30 Then, next,
09:33 do you personally believe in aliens?
09:37 Because I did this, yes.
09:40 So, you don't believe in them?
09:42 You watch, you believe,
09:43 later you'll see for yourself.
09:45 Seriously?
09:47 Because you don't believe?
09:48 Until now, not really.
09:50 So, sometimes it's hard to believe in things that you don't see.
09:55 It's hard to say,
09:56 "Yes, but you don't see it."
09:58 Now, we're seeing what we see.
10:00 So, we might have one.
10:02 Max, what do you think?
10:04 I believe.
10:05 We all believe.
10:07 Later, you'll go home.
10:09 You'll see it too.
10:11 Now, you believe.
10:12 So, final answer?
10:13 I believe.
10:15 I believe.
10:16 I believe,
10:17 because his story is so beautiful.
10:19 If there's really an alien like this in the world of humans,
10:23 it's so nice to be friends with him.
10:25 Okay.
10:26 Thank you.
10:28 Ms. Rose, thank you so much.
10:29 Ms. Marion, thank you as well.
10:31 Next, we have Sir Tonton, Sir Mino of Abandon.
10:35 He's not here.
10:37 He's not here?
10:38 Is he the host today?
10:39 Or is Sir Don going to give a speech?
10:42 May I go ahead, sir?
10:44 We'll reach the answer, sir.
10:52 I didn't do my best.
10:54 I didn't inform that I shouldn't be here.
10:57 Anyway, I'll push the question to Gaby.
11:03 Because Gaby, after a few years,
11:07 After a few years,
11:09 your project finally continued.
11:12 So, how do you feel about it?
11:13 The project continued.
11:15 How's your working relationship with Marion?
11:19 Well, ever since, I've been very supportive of the whole cast.
11:24 Whatever I do, I do it all.
11:28 I don't want to cry.
11:31 I'm crying, director.
11:34 I'm here to support Marion in her return.
11:39 To teach her the skills of our cast.
11:46 How's your working relationship with Marion?
11:49 It's his first time, right?
11:50 Hello, Pat.
11:52 How's your working relationship with Marion?
11:54 I'm not sure if I answered the question correctly.
11:57 It's nice to talk sometimes.
12:03 She's a good friend.
12:05 Because she always feeds him.
12:07 She's very generous.
12:09 She's really a good person.
12:12 She's a mother to the family.
12:14 She feeds everyone.
12:16 Marion, thank you so much for your kindness.
12:20 You're welcome.
12:21 I'm happy. Thank you so much.
12:24 You did a great job.
12:25 Thank you.
12:26 And next question is for Rafael.
12:28 Rafael, you always surprise me.
12:31 How's Marion as a mother?
12:36 Because I see your TikToks.
12:38 You seem to enjoy it so much on TV.
12:43 Of course, I'm happy to be a mother.
12:46 Working with Ate Anne is really fun.
12:50 It's a bit stressful.
12:53 Because she's a veteran.
12:55 Because she's a veteran.
12:58 Especially...
13:11 It's true what Kuya Gabi said.
13:14 We always take care of each other.
13:15 We're always full of energy.
13:17 Just be more active, Ate Anne.
13:21 Rafael, you're under pressure.
13:23 At first, but...
13:26 After a long time, I'm getting comfortable with it.
13:31 And that's it.
13:32 How do you feel when you're doing TikTok?
13:35 Who started TikTok?
13:37 TikTok?
13:38 Of course, me.
13:40 It's you.
13:41 So you want her to work again?
13:46 Of course.
13:47 Thank you very much.
13:49 Thank you for everything.
13:50 Marion, I'll just answer Rafael's question.
13:53 What's Rafael's reaction?
13:56 Because you're a veteran.
13:59 I'm a veteran?
14:02 It's like you're the only one who's still wearing a barong.
14:04 That's why I'm a veteran.
14:05 You're a veteran too.
14:06 I'm a veteran.
14:09 That's how your colleagues look at you.
14:12 It's okay.
14:13 You're a cook.
14:15 At first, everyone is new to the scene.
14:18 You're a new employee.
14:19 You'll be nervous.
14:20 Everyone's nervous.
14:21 The good thing is, as time goes by,
14:24 we get to know each other.
14:26 We can adjust.
14:27 Rafael is a good kid.
14:29 He's good at acting.
14:30 He's also cute.
14:32 Actually, I said this to him when I hugged him.
14:35 "It's good that he's good at acting."
14:37 Because we always hug and kiss.
14:40 Rafael is very conscious of that.
14:42 I'm happy that I always tell him,
14:45 "Bring that to your own level."
14:47 "Be conscious of yourself."
14:48 "Always look presentable to your colleagues."
14:51 Because that's how Rafael is.
14:53 I have a colleague who's a sour.
14:55 Thank you very much.
14:59 Very special request.
15:00 I'm really wearing a barong, sir.
15:02 Thank you very much.
15:05 Sir Donut's afternoon question was amazing.
15:08 I'll hug you later.
15:09 We'll see.
15:11 Thank you so much, Sir Donut.
15:14 Next, we have Sir Romel Gonzales of PEP.
15:17 Yes, hello.
15:19 My first question is for Gabby.
15:21 I can...
15:22 Hi, Gabby.
15:25 Because in "Voltus 5 Legacy" as Commander Robinson,
15:29 you were loved by the audience.
15:31 When you died there,
15:33 how did you feel?
15:35 Did you feel loved by the audience here,
15:37 or were you left alone for a change?
15:40 First of all,
15:42 thank you for coming to our media call.
15:46 To answer that question,
15:49 that's my goal.
15:51 I hope I'm loved.
15:53 But...
15:54 Because my character is a best friend of...
15:58 of Tokayo.
15:59 I'm still asleep.
16:01 Of Tokayo.
16:02 And their family friend.
16:04 If we base it on the backstory,
16:11 I believe in aliens.
16:15 It's not good.
16:18 So...
16:19 I don't think people would love me.
16:22 I hope people would understand
16:24 where my character comes from.
16:26 Because it's not like I raised it,
16:28 or raised it as a bad person.
16:31 But they would expect that
16:33 if Gabby says that,
16:34 another character would be the role.
16:36 They would watch it to know.
16:38 You watch it to know.
16:40 She's not a bad person.
16:42 There's a chance that you can love and pity her.
16:47 And then, Gabby,
16:50 how are you now?
16:51 Back to work after, of course.
16:54 How is it to go back to work?
16:56 Actually,
16:59 I can say that it's nice to go back to work.
17:03 Because the past few weeks,
17:05 it has been really heavy
17:09 for the family.
17:11 Actually, in the middle of the whole week,
17:14 during the process of...
17:17 the way I was able to work in between,
17:20 I just needed a new scenery.
17:22 So that helped a lot.
17:26 Now, we're still in constant communication,
17:29 my siblings and I,
17:30 especially Andy.
17:32 So we're okay.
17:33 We're okay.
17:34 We're holding on to each other,
17:36 giving each other strength
17:38 as we face a new life.
17:40 You know, that.
17:41 So it's okay.
17:43 Thank you, Gabby.
17:44 And prayers to your whole family.
17:46 Thank you.
17:47 My next question is for Max.
17:49 Max, we heard that you're going to
17:51 give Catherine, Miss Marian Rivera, a hug.
17:54 How will you hug Miss Marian Rivera?
17:56 And how much of a hug will you give her?
17:59 Do you want a samba?
18:01 Let's try.
18:04 I hope it's early.
18:05 We're not there yet.
18:06 Nice grip.
18:07 Anyway,
18:08 how will I do it?
18:11 So, this is a family drama.
18:13 It's not as heavy as I'm used to.
18:17 So it's nice because
18:19 even though my role is a contrabass,
18:21 there's a lightness, I think,
18:24 or a humor to my character
18:27 in a sense where
18:28 in Vino's art,
18:31 I feel like people will like it
18:35 because they'll be entertained.
18:38 You'll be entertained by my performance.
18:40 Because it's something different.
18:44 You'll see something different about Max Collins.
18:46 Isn't that--
18:47 Wow.
18:48 Yes.
18:49 Yes.
18:50 For me, it's very like
18:52 Max was a kid.
18:53 Quote, unquote,
18:54 by Vino.
18:55 So thank you so much
18:56 because it's been such a joy
18:59 playing Vino
19:00 because it's really funny.
19:01 I mean, I enjoy being a contrabass
19:05 for the first time
19:06 in a light sense.
19:07 So, my hug to Marian--
19:10 I didn't answer the question, right?
19:12 My hug to her
19:14 is like forgiving.
19:17 Forgiving for me
19:19 because as you saw in the ADP,
19:23 Vino's anger towards Catherine
19:27 and towards Nita Nova
19:30 is deep and deep.
19:33 But if you actually watch our scenes,
19:35 our fights are funny.
19:39 So, that's what kids will enjoy watching.
19:43 It's something that is for the whole family
19:46 and they won't do that.
19:47 They won't do that.
19:49 Did you have a hard time
19:51 being Marian?
19:52 No.
19:53 Because?
19:54 I didn't have a hard time
19:55 because--
19:57 It's in the script.
19:58 Because it's in the script.
19:59 Because I'm a professional
20:01 and I love my job as an actress.
20:03 It's my job.
20:05 And it's been fun
20:07 because we talk beforehand.
20:09 Before the scene,
20:11 it's really like,
20:12 "Is it okay if I slap you?"
20:15 "Is it okay if I hurt you?"
20:18 "It's okay."
20:19 "So, it's okay if I hurt you."
20:21 "It's okay, right?"
20:22 It's okay.
20:23 It's safe.
20:24 "Do you have permission?"
20:25 "As long as you have permission, it's okay."
20:27 "Right, Marnie?"
20:28 Of course.
20:29 Did you have a slap?
20:30 Yes, a lot.
20:31 Ah, you got it?
20:33 I got it.
20:34 So, how was the slap?
20:36 It was a showdown.
20:37 Did you get hurt?
20:38 We also had a showdown.
20:39 I lost, of course.
20:41 I lost.
20:42 But in the slap,
20:43 my hand was a bit heavy.
20:45 But it was okay
20:46 because I lost in the showdown.
20:48 In the last showdown.
20:50 Watch out.
20:51 Very good.
20:52 Thank you and congratulations
20:54 to all of my staff and crew.
20:57 Thank you, Sir Roman.
21:00 Next, we have Mr. Jeffy Staff
21:02 from Jimmy International.
21:04 Hi, my first question is
21:06 for Miss Marisa Delgado.
21:08 In the series,
21:09 your character is a stubborn
21:12 mother-in-law of Catherine,
21:14 right, Miss Mariya?
21:16 But in real life,
21:17 how was your working relationship?
21:19 It was okay
21:23 because sometimes we're far away
21:26 but it was okay.
21:28 We're here now.
21:33 We're here now.
21:34 We're here now.
21:35 It's not like that anymore.
21:36 Ah, like that?
21:37 Like that?
21:38 We're here now.
21:39 We're here now.
21:40 You should talk.
21:41 You should talk.
21:42 You should talk.
21:43 You should talk.
21:44 You should talk.
21:45 You should talk.
21:46 You should talk.
21:47 It's okay, right?
21:49 I'm not allowed to meet him
21:54 but it's okay.
21:56 I'm happy that he's my husband.
22:00 But at first,
22:02 I was just watching him
22:05 while he was working.
22:08 I was just watching him.
22:09 And then,
22:10 he said,
22:11 "You're so beautiful.
22:13 You're so thin."
22:14 "You're so fragile."
22:18 "You're so beautiful."
22:21 Kiss, kiss.
22:22 I went downstairs.
22:24 Mariya was in her room.
22:26 Sometimes, we're just watching each other.
22:30 But lately,
22:31 this is what I've noticed.
22:33 It's like,
22:35 it's like,
22:37 it's like,
22:38 it's closed.
22:39 Oh, something's getting there.
22:41 It's like that.
22:43 It's like,
22:44 it's more than just,
22:46 "Hi, hello."
22:47 You know?
22:48 And at first,
22:50 I was scared.
22:52 I was scared.
22:53 There was,
22:55 not anymore.
22:57 I was a bit scared.
23:04 And maybe,
23:06 maybe because I'm his fan.
23:08 I'm really beautiful in the house.
23:12 That's all.
23:14 Ms. Mariya,
23:18 your reaction to what Ms. Marisa said
23:20 that you're her fan?
23:22 It's okay.
23:27 No.
23:30 It's okay.
23:31 You know,
23:33 the people who are attracted to you
23:35 or who like you,
23:36 that's a big factor in my personality.
23:38 Because,
23:39 it means I can influence them.
23:41 Whatever it is,
23:42 in their appearance,
23:43 in their looks,
23:44 in their outlook on life.
23:45 So, the good thing is,
23:46 you're a good influence.
23:47 You're a good part of their lives.
23:49 I'm blessed if there are people like that in me.
23:52 Oh, yes.
23:53 I love you!
23:55 I'm just kidding.
23:57 G-Cash.
23:59 G-Cash.
24:00 G-Cash.
24:02 Who's G-Cash?
24:03 The second question is for Sir Arnold.
24:08 In the teaser,
24:10 we saw that you're the one
24:11 who died in Ms. Mariya's role.
24:13 It's Catherine, right?
24:14 Is it me?
24:15 Are you one of the main antagonists of the show?
24:18 What's the question?
24:21 Are you one of the main antagonists of the show?
24:25 I don't know if I should tell
24:29 all the things I do in the show.
24:32 I can only say one thing.
24:33 I'm grateful that I'm a part of this show.
24:35 Actually, on the first day,
24:38 we had a heavy scene with Ms. Mariya.
24:41 Actually, to be honest,
24:42 I was really nervous.
24:44 Because...
24:45 You're so mean to me.
24:46 I'm the one who's nervous.
24:47 No, it's not just that.
24:48 Because it's a gift to work with
24:50 a Mariya Rivera.
24:52 So, for me,
24:53 it's a blessing that I'm here in the show.
24:55 You worked with her,
24:56 and you put her in a close-up scene.
24:58 For me,
24:59 I'm so happy.
25:01 Mariya is a nice person.
25:02 He didn't answer.
25:04 I didn't answer, either.
25:05 That's how it is.
25:07 We're aliens to each other.
25:09 Thank you so much, sir.
25:15 I'm sorry.
25:17 Next, we have Sir Brian Preselius
25:19 of Chile Regional TV.
25:21 Hello.
25:22 My question is for Ms. Mirai Celis
25:24 and Mr. Christian Hathaway.
25:26 Earlier, you mentioned that
25:28 your videos and content
25:30 are very popular among netizens.
25:32 Can you describe to us
25:34 how good vibes and how happy
25:36 you were when you were able to take
25:38 this My Guardian Alien?
25:40 Thank you so much for the question.
25:45 To answer the question,
25:47 our set was so light.
25:50 It was so...
25:52 It's like we were playing,
25:54 we weren't working.
25:55 That's why we were able to include
25:57 our TikTok contents,
25:59 the outside of what we do
26:01 in our set or scenes.
26:04 We're so close with
26:07 Ms. Mariya, Rafael,
26:10 and all the cast.
26:12 If there's a chance
26:14 to make content,
26:16 we'll do it.
26:17 There's also...
26:19 We're going to have a date.
26:20 But we'll still do it.
26:22 We're dead, right?
26:24 I'm going to get a beating.
26:26 If you've watched
26:31 the GST that we did,
26:34 earlier,
26:35 how much we were naughty,
26:37 we were more naughty in the set.
26:39 We were like the missing ones
26:41 when we were on the set.
26:43 Maybe we were just being
26:44 taken back because of the location.
26:46 You know, sometimes
26:48 our scenes are very fighting.
26:50 We fight.
26:51 But in real life,
26:52 before we take,
26:53 we're really happy.
26:55 And we're just being naughty.
26:57 That's why we pushed
26:59 the naughty videos.
27:01 We want to share with you
27:03 that we're not the only ones
27:04 who don't know how happy we are.
27:05 We want to share with you
27:06 so you'll know
27:07 how happy we are.
27:09 Actually, what we're sharing
27:11 is only 5% of our 100%
27:14 of how happy we are on set.
27:16 So, if you watch our show,
27:18 you'll really enjoy it.
27:21 We made it very happy.
27:24 Yes.
27:25 And for the second question,
27:26 follow up to Ms. Greg,
27:27 and to Ms. Christian,
27:28 what's the best thing
27:29 that you can say
27:30 that you were invited
27:31 to be part of your show?
27:33 Oh.
27:35 It's okay.
27:37 Actually, I'm happy
27:41 because,
27:42 for Direk Zig,
27:43 it's the second time
27:44 that we worked together.
27:45 The first one,
27:46 we did the indie.
27:47 Like what he mentioned earlier,
27:49 I was one of the people
27:51 that he worked with
27:52 who were not in the industry.
27:54 And it's my first time
27:57 to work with Ms. Marian Rivera.
27:59 Actually,
28:00 I'll be the one to say it.
28:02 Of course,
28:03 when you say Marian Rivera,
28:05 a lot of people will say,
28:06 "Oh, you look like you work with Marian.
28:08 Good job."
28:09 There are people like that, right?
28:11 You're scary,
28:12 you're annoying,
28:14 you say all kinds of bad things,
28:17 it's not good.
28:18 But in real life,
28:20 all the things that people say to me,
28:22 I want to go back to them one by one
28:23 because all of them are wrong.
28:25 All of them are the opposite
28:27 of what they say.
28:29 How much they say that it's scary,
28:31 it's so funny.
28:33 How much they say that it's wrong,
28:35 it's so annoying.
28:37 You know,
28:38 you're so annoying here on the side,
28:40 it's not art.
28:41 They'll say it's art,
28:42 it's the opposite
28:43 of what you see.
28:45 Maybe what they think,
28:46 what they look like,
28:48 what they look like,
28:50 it's intimidating.
28:52 But when you work with them,
28:54 it's the opposite of everything.
28:56 So,
28:57 all of us feel that
28:59 and we're very thankful
29:00 that we were able to work with Ate Jan.
29:02 And of course,
29:03 all of us.
29:05 That's all.
29:06 Thank you.
29:07 I forgot the question.
29:11 What was the question?
29:12 Best thing.
29:15 Before I answer that,
29:17 I just want to thank
29:18 of course,
29:19 the CMA,
29:20 the production,
29:22 my management,
29:24 artist,
29:25 again, thank you so much,
29:26 Jai Rams.
29:27 And of course,
29:29 Ate Jan,
29:30 thank you so much.
29:31 I love you.
29:32 Yes.
29:33 And of course,
29:34 Director...
29:35 You're scary.
29:36 Oh, I'm getting nervous.
29:38 Best thing,
29:40 I think this is a milestone for me.
29:43 Let's do it.
29:44 I'm a very personal person.
29:46 But mostly,
29:47 my guestings are
29:48 in Wish Me Luck,
29:49 Tadhana,
29:50 I've been there many times.
29:52 And I always have one character,
29:55 maybe because as an openly gay personality,
29:59 my role is always...
30:00 You'll make him a man here.
30:01 ...to gossip about the gay,
30:03 that he's beautiful,
30:04 and so on.
30:05 And this time,
30:08 it's a very different...
30:10 I'm a Christian and they're all gay.
30:13 So it's a straight guy.
30:15 It's a straight guy.
30:16 And I'm very proud of GMA.
30:18 Looking very inclusive.
30:20 I'm not shy.
30:21 And...
30:22 Usually,
30:24 if the role is straight,
30:25 maybe he's a straight guy.
30:27 But sometimes,
30:28 if the guy is straight,
30:30 and he wants to be gay,
30:33 he'll be gay.
30:34 Sometimes, he'll be gay.
30:35 He's a tacrocomie.
30:36 But this time,
30:37 I think the gender equity is there.
30:40 So I think...
30:41 Being gay is...
30:42 Being gay is...
30:43 Being gay is your role,
30:44 regardless of your sexuality,
30:46 because you know you can do it.
30:48 People know you can do it.
30:49 So that's where I'm proud of.
30:52 And...
30:53 That's the best thing.
30:54 That's where I'm proud of.
30:55 The best thing that happened to me here in my career,
30:58 here in GMA.
30:59 Thank you very much.
31:00 I'm going to the top.
31:01 And I think...
31:02 Thank you, Brian.
31:05 Thank you, Ken.
31:06 Thank you, Christian.
31:07 Next, we have Sir Richard Pugligawan
31:10 of Lionheart TV.
31:12 Sir Richard?
31:13 Hello, Pug.
31:15 Afternoon.
31:17 So my question is for Miss Tanya,
31:21 for Akers,
31:22 and for...
31:23 for Miss Tanya.
31:25 Because it seems like your roles here are going to be rich.
31:29 So for you...
31:30 You're going to be a judge.
31:32 So...
31:33 As rich people,
31:37 what should we look forward to here?
31:40 And what is the surprise
31:43 that we should look forward to
31:46 when you come out of the Omicards of Angelina?
31:49 A, A, A.
31:50 Okay, first of all,
31:51 thank you very much for your question.
31:53 Because first of all,
31:54 we're not rich here.
31:56 The rich ones are in the mansion.
32:00 We are the farmers.
32:02 We call ourselves,
32:03 we're a group chat.
32:04 We call ourselves Team Lai Laiyan.
32:06 So every time we're on a series of vlogs,
32:08 we're taping,
32:09 we're losing to Sir.
32:13 We're so happy.
32:14 As long as Mamba Desna calls us,
32:16 "Oh, we're taping, we're taping."
32:18 We're really a group.
32:19 We're a group.
32:20 We're a team.
32:21 We're a family.
32:22 When one of us is gone,
32:24 it's sad.
32:25 Our days are short.
32:26 That's why we're happy when we're together.
32:29 And it's not just in the mansion
32:31 that love happens to the whole family,
32:33 but to the farmers,
32:36 to the basas as well.
32:37 They can see how to love their families,
32:40 and their friends,
32:42 and the people who work with them.
32:44 And because of that,
32:45 Sir Carlos,
32:48 Mr. Gaby Goncepcion,
32:50 he's our boss,
32:52 and then there's Catherine.
32:54 So they're the ones who give.
32:55 Of course, if the workers are kind,
32:58 the workers should be kind as well.
33:00 So that's how we are.
33:02 We're helping each other.
33:04 We just need to be happy with each other.
33:07 Hello.
33:13 Hello to everyone.
33:15 Thank you for having me here for the first time.
33:19 No problem.
33:20 Our character is rich,
33:26 but we're also farmers.
33:28 So I look like a farmer.
33:31 I'm not sure if I look like a farmer.
33:33 But I'm rich.
33:35 I'm happy because I'm from a farm.
33:43 That's also the source of our income.
33:46 And our family.
33:48 So I'm happy that...
33:50 He's not having a hard time.
33:54 I'm not having a hard time.
33:55 That's what I'm saying.
33:57 I'm happy with the set
33:59 because we're all happy.
34:02 And then our group,
34:05 when one of us is gone,
34:07 we're sad.
34:08 So...
34:09 Did I answer the question?
34:13 Sorry.
34:14 I don't know.
34:15 Answer it.
34:16 Keep going.
34:17 For the three of us,
34:21 I'm the one who's in the wrong.
34:23 For all the questions,
34:25 I thought I was done.
34:27 I'm just a helper.
34:29 For us,
34:31 I'm really in my mansion.
34:32 But in my mansion,
34:34 I'm Nita Nova.
34:35 I'm her mom,
34:39 but I'm not a helper.
34:41 She's a teacher here.
34:43 Just kidding.
34:45 I'm her lampshade.
34:48 I'm not a good speaker here.
34:54 I'm old when I'm here.
34:56 I'm the one who's taking care of Nita Nova's health.
35:02 At the same time,
35:03 I'm her sounding board.
35:05 That's it.
35:07 Sounding board.
35:09 Where's your board?
35:10 My next question is for Kathleen,
35:14 Josh, and Sean.
35:17 Are you all trying to get here?
35:20 And what are you going to share?
35:23 Since you're technically new here,
35:27 what have you learned with the veteran stars?
35:31 I'm nervous.
35:36 Wait, is it our turn?
35:43 Wait, what?
35:45 I mean, you wanna go first?
35:49 Oh, sorry.
35:50 Calm down.
35:53 I'm not very good with words.
35:55 What I can say about this show is
35:58 I'm very grateful to be part of it.
36:00 Actually, I didn't know until the last minute.
36:04 Because for the audition,
36:06 I think I was out of town at the time
36:09 for my face-to-face.
36:11 So I did it online through Zoom.
36:14 And I didn't really know what the show was.
36:16 I think I knew.
36:18 Oh my gosh, I don't really remember.
36:19 But it was really rushed.
36:21 It was really on the spot.
36:22 And I felt like I didn't do so well in my audition.
36:26 And I was like, "It's okay.
36:28 If I don't get it, then it's not for me.
36:29 But if I get it, then yay."
36:31 And I did.
36:32 And I'm so grateful to be part of it.
36:33 I learned a lot, especially from, you know...
36:36 Wait, what?
36:38 Oh, I thought it's what we can say about working with...
36:43 Is it right?
36:44 Oh, my!
36:50 Yes.
36:51 Oh!
36:52 Attention.
36:53 Sorry, I misheard it.
36:55 It's okay.
36:56 Oh, that's a plus?
36:57 Okay.
36:58 Sorry.
36:59 If you want to choose one of them,
37:01 you'll choose one of them.
37:02 Oh, my gosh.
37:03 It's okay.
37:04 The performers are so happy.
37:06 They're praising Caitlyn.
37:08 Caitlyn, go ahead.
37:10 Is it right?
37:14 Is the second throw right?
37:15 Oh, my gosh.
37:17 No one threw it right.
37:19 It's okay.
37:20 But, that's it.
37:23 I'm really honored to be part of working with the cast.
37:26 I haven't had any scenes yet with Ate Anne alone.
37:31 So, I'm looking forward to that.
37:33 But I do observe her from the set.
37:35 It's really amazing to see these people work.
37:38 And see them off of the set.
37:42 And then see them on set and in character.
37:44 It's really fun and it's really different.
37:46 Especially when we're having fun.
37:50 We're laughing like that.
37:51 And then, boom, action.
37:53 And then, everybody's in character.
37:54 Oh, my gosh.
37:55 It's okay.
37:56 It's okay.
37:57 It's okay.
37:58 It's okay.
37:59 It's okay.
38:00 It's okay.
38:01 It's okay.
38:02 But, yeah, that's it.
38:04 Okay.
38:07 Go ahead.
38:09 Good item.
38:11 Good afternoon, everyone.
38:15 So, in Love Triangle.
38:18 I'm Aris.
38:19 Kate is Hailey.
38:20 And next to me is Sean.
38:22 Kevin.
38:23 We have a love triangle.
38:25 Because I'm a farmer here.
38:28 They're rich.
38:29 So, when he came to the first scene where we're together.
38:34 I can sense that we have a love triangle.
38:38 And, yeah, of course, Aris.
38:40 Her character is shy boy.
38:42 And she's quiet.
38:44 She's not the type of person who shows herself to the camera.
38:47 So, when Kevin came, there's a love triangle.
38:50 You'll see that when you watch it.
38:52 And with the veterans in the end.
38:55 So, when I got in here, I was surprised.
39:00 I worked with Miss Marion Rivera, Sir Gabby Concepcion, Sir Gabby Igelman, Miss Max Collitz-Dregzig, Miss Kiray.
39:11 There's a lot.
39:12 There's a lot of people here.
39:14 Veterans.
39:15 Veterans.
39:16 Veterans.
39:17 Veterans.
39:18 Veterans.
39:19 Yeah, right?
39:20 Veterans.
39:21 But, yeah.
39:22 I was under a lot of pressure.
39:25 I was very, I love my job.
39:28 I have to focus.
39:29 But I have this one saying.
39:31 You should treat others the way you want to be treated.
39:35 So, I'm not going to say I'm too nice.
39:38 But, no.
39:39 I try to say hi to everyone.
39:42 And I'm super blessed and thankful that I worked with Miss Marion Rivera, Sir Gabby, everyone on set.
39:50 I'm super, super thankful.
39:51 I learned a lot from them.
39:53 Not just from my co-actors, but also from Director, Miss Chalene, Miss Eds.
39:57 I learned a lot.
39:59 To be a better actor.
40:01 Not only a better actor, but as a better person.
40:03 So, thank you all.
40:05 Miss Marion Rivera, thank you.
40:06 Sir Gabby, thank you.
40:08 Miss Eds, thank you.
40:09 And guys, I'm...
40:10 He's not answering.
40:11 He's not answering.
40:12 No, I'm not answering.
40:14 Thank you again for the question.
40:16 I'm Kevin.
40:18 But this is for the love triangle.
40:20 Kevin is the rich one.
40:22 So, of course, if you're a girl, who's this farmer?
40:28 There's no one to fight me.
40:30 Boy, Kevin is like that.
40:32 But in terms of the set,
40:34 I just entered from the middle.
40:36 I didn't come in from day one.
40:38 I came in in like, whenever we're taping.
40:42 So, the first day, I really didn't know anyone.
40:46 I was really nervous.
40:48 I was really nervous.
40:49 Actually, I was trying to say hi to everyone.
40:52 I don't know if they noticed that I was just looking at them.
40:56 As if I was just looking at Sian, Atimax, and Gabby.
41:00 I was just looking at them.
41:02 I was just looking at them.
41:04 I was like, "Can I say hi to them now?"
41:06 And then, after a few days,
41:08 I was like, "Here, I have someone to say hi to."
41:10 I was so proud to say hi to them.
41:14 I did it.
41:16 I learned that everyone is really approachable.
41:20 You just have to...
41:21 You just have to talk to them.
41:23 I admire everyone's work ethic,
41:26 how they work on set.
41:28 I learned a lot from all of them.
41:30 It's such an honor to be a part of a project like this.
41:32 Thank you for...
41:34 Sir Richard, thank you.
41:37 One more.
41:38 One last before we wrap up the Q&A.
41:40 Let's have Sir Jim Pienarcon from Freebie Manalang.
41:44 Sir Jim.
41:47 Say hi to Sir Jim.
41:48 Jim.
41:49 Jim.
41:50 This is him.
41:51 Calm down.
41:52 Calm down.
41:53 Thank you.
41:55 He's a real man.
41:56 Thank you so much.
41:58 Question for Mar,
42:00 and of course,
42:01 when you came back,
42:02 we saw your dance on one of the scenes.
42:07 How did you guess?
42:08 Because we know that your dance steps are trending.
42:12 For us to see it on TV,
42:15 it's really funny.
42:16 I'm really surprised.
42:17 I'm really surprised.
42:18 I'm really surprised.
42:19 I'm really surprised.
42:20 I'm really surprised.
42:21 It's really good.
42:22 It's really good.
42:23 Actually, I was surprised that I had a dance.
42:25 I know I have a dance,
42:26 but I didn't see that I was going to dance that well.
42:29 Because there are two versions.
42:30 So I can't tell you which version it is.
42:33 But just wait for Max's showdown.
42:36 That's it.
42:37 I'll dance.
42:38 It's really funny that he's dancing.
42:41 There's a story behind why he's dancing.
42:44 He's not just dancing on that scene.
42:47 There's a story behind Catherine's character.
42:50 Because in the movie,
42:52 she's the secret or the alien.
42:55 The so-called spy.
42:57 Actually, Catherine's character is really just a little bit...
43:01 Did I answer?
43:03 She's just a little bit.
43:06 Because we saw that something happened to her.
43:09 But Catherine's character is a very loving wife and daughter.
43:14 She'll do anything.
43:15 And she has books that she writes.
43:17 She has beautiful hopes that she wants to share with her children.
43:21 I have a phone-in question.
43:23 What's it called?
43:24 Did you watch the Hi-Fi Mama?
43:27 The K-drama.
43:28 Is that what you referenced?
43:31 I don't think so.
43:32 Because it was originally created by GMP and our writers.
43:36 They changed the protocol.
43:38 It reached the point where they wanted to give me a fantasy.
43:42 It's a ghost.
43:43 Excuse me, I'm watching.
43:45 It's a ghost, not K-drama.
43:47 But Mariel, you mentioned earlier that it's very important for you to watch the show.
43:53 You'll watch the show, right?
43:56 How do you feel to be offered such a beautiful project?
43:59 Because the trend now is to give away guns.
44:03 Although, there are guns here.
44:05 But the hardcore action.
44:07 Why do you have a gun?
44:08 It's like this.
44:09 Oh, like this.
44:12 Because coming from the success of your movie, the actors you're working with are very value-skated.
44:19 It's clear to GMP what I really want.
44:23 I became honest with them about the projects I want to do.
44:27 This is one of the projects they offered me.
44:29 Actually, we just zoomed in when they told me the story.
44:33 I was like, "Oh, I don't want to be exposed to other stories."
44:37 Because they told me that this story is very original.
44:42 And it's a fantasy.
44:43 I said, "There's a good story that the kids will love to watch."
44:48 I don't have the right or the desire to refuse.
44:53 Because the story is so beautiful.
44:55 The setting is so beautiful.
44:56 I really insisted that my director should be there.
44:59 Although, we haven't met yet.
45:01 Literally, direct.
45:02 And these movies are not yet released.
45:04 He's the one I requested for this.
45:07 And he's the one who invited me.
45:09 Because the story is beautiful.
45:14 And the cast is also beautiful.
45:16 That's what I'm looking forward to.
45:18 Because I always say in movies, "What kind of movie is this?"
45:21 I want to offer people, "What kind of message is this movie?"
45:25 Now, I'll say it again.
45:27 What kind of offer do we have for people?
45:29 So they'll know, "What does real life mean to you?"
45:32 "What does life mean to you?"
45:34 "Does it mean love?"
45:36 "Does it mean hurting your partner or just thinking about yourself?"
45:39 And with that, last question for you.
45:43 It's not the last question.
45:44 It's this one.
45:45 For you, Sir Gaby and Rafael, since you're the family unit here,
45:51 what do you want the viewers to leave when they watch My Guardian?
45:57 Family is family.
45:58 No matter what happens, you'll love your family as much as you can.
46:04 Sir Gaby, pass the mic.
46:06 It's already over.
46:07 That's right.
46:12 That's all.
46:15 Like I said earlier, I'm all support here.
46:22 He didn't answer.
46:27 After the day, what do you want to show?
46:32 Is it all for you or for other people?
46:35 Why did you say that?
46:37 I just wanted to ask.
46:40 What do you want the viewers to leave when they watch My Guardian?
46:43 Just something.
46:44 That's right.
46:47 Everything you said is true.
46:49 Actually, I'll just repeat it.
46:51 I'll just repeat it.
46:53 You, what do you want to say?
46:56 What's your family?
46:57 Why are you wearing a shirt?
46:59 Maybe what we want to leave for the viewers is what's the value of a parent.
47:05 Of course, they should love their child.
47:09 Maybe tomorrow, they'll say, "No, we don't have a child."
47:15 And...
47:16 And of course, your parents, no matter what they do,
47:23 they'll still be there for you.
47:26 That's all.
47:28 Thank you so much, Paul.
47:30 (applause)
