00:30And our guest this afternoon is a beautiful mother,
00:34a friend,
00:36and one of the best people in the world.
00:38One of my favorites.
00:40Nay, Tay, Kapuso, please welcome the one and the only,
00:43Dina Bonavie.
00:45Hi! Glad to be back.
00:47Glad to be back.
00:49You are always welcome here on Fast Talk.
00:52Milagro, you didn't call me Miss Bone.
00:54No, I'm going to call you Miss Bone in a while.
00:57Thank you very much.
00:59How are you?
01:01Very busy.
01:03Well, I'm happy. I'm not complaining.
01:05We cannot.
01:06I'm super busy and I'm happily busy.
01:09We're celebrating Mother's Day and
01:12we're really happy that you're our guest.
01:15That's true.
01:16Really?
01:17Yes.
01:18Because you're so slow.
01:20No, this is your show.
01:23Dina, take me back to when you were 19.
01:27You became a mother.
01:29A long time.
01:30You became a young mother at 19.
01:32How was that?
01:33Not yet. I was 20.
01:35You were 20.
01:36But you're a mother when you're pregnant at 19.
01:39It was hard. It came unexpectedly.
01:42I didn't expect to be a mother at that time.
01:45My career was going up and then suddenly,
01:48something happened.
01:51So, young as I was, I was really confused.
01:55I didn't know what I was going to do.
01:58Am I really in love? Is this love or what?
02:00What am I going to do?
02:01Am I just doing this to please some people
02:03who are afraid that their reputation will be ruined?
02:06My dad, for example.
02:08He was so scared that his family name will be ruined.
02:11It's a disgrace.
02:13People will say this and that.
02:16My mom was like, okay, have it adopted.
02:20But I'm like, what am I going to do?
02:24The only thing I really was sure of was
02:26I didn't want my child to experience what I went through
02:30growing up with separated parents.
02:32Okay, so you got married.
02:34That was the story.
02:36And you had Danica.
02:38After that, you had Oyo.
02:41Two years later, I had Oyo.
02:42Right.
02:43How do you discipline your children?
02:45Do you talk to them?
02:46Do you read their stories?
02:48Very much of a disciplinarian.
02:50Like, early on, I never baby-talked Danica.
02:53And early on, I would impose that you can't lie.
02:59But before Danica, I remember that I was beaten.
03:03Because Oyo bit me.
03:06I said, why does Oyo have a bite?
03:09Who bit him?
03:10I said that.
03:11Danica said, not me, Mama.
03:13Who bit your brother?
03:15Is it Mitch?
03:16My nephew.
03:17They're almost the same age.
03:18It's Mitch.
03:19I said, how can Mitch do it?
03:20I said, Mitch doesn't have teeth.
03:23I said, you better tell the truth
03:25or I'm going to spank you real hard.
03:28Mama, I didn't bite Oyo boy.
03:32Then I said, you tell the truth
03:34otherwise you're going to kneel in mung beans.
03:36I'm telling you.
03:37Then she said, Mama, I know now who bit Oyo boy.
03:42Bit.
03:43Bit.
03:44Because I am so particular about grammar.
03:47So since I was a kid, what bite?
03:48Bit.
03:49Past tense.
03:51I know now who bit Oyo.
03:52Who?
03:53The devil.
03:55She said, the devil.
03:57Okay.
03:58I just said that.
04:00I made him swallow rice.
04:02Then of course, Vic scolded me.
04:04You make a kid swallow rice?
04:07Why?
04:08I mean, we actually parent according to the way we were parented.
04:11Don't you?
04:12Yeah.
04:13I totally agree.
04:14You parent according to the way you were parented.
04:16Normally, you raise your kids according to the way you were raised.
04:19But in my case, maybe in the beginning it was like that
04:22because that was how my father raised me.
04:24But I didn't do what my mom did.
04:27Which one?
04:28Because my mom, she's European, right?
04:30She's Swiss.
04:31So very independent.
04:33She will never put on your socks.
04:34She will never go to your graduation.
04:36Independent.
04:38They don't have anything like that.
04:40No, what you were trying to say is,
04:41you were mothering because that's what you know.
04:44That's what will make you grow up.
04:46Spoilers, Vic.
04:47Oh no, and how?
04:49Him and the grandmother.
04:50Too much spoilers.
04:51That's why I said, nothing will happen if this happens.
04:54So I told Vic, we shouldn't separate our decisions.
04:59Whatever decision I make, this is the decision.
05:02We should talk about it.
05:03The decision is only one.
05:05If you have a different decision than mine,
05:07then this is going to be a problem.
05:08But you must remember, we were talking about this.
05:10We're already separated.
05:12I was separated at the age of 23.
05:14I built my own house at the age of 23.
05:17But you were together.
05:18Danny was only 4.
05:194 by what, 5?
05:206 years?
05:216 years.
05:226 years, okay.
05:23So, okay.
05:24So, right?
05:25Ayala Heights has a different rule than Valle Verde.
05:28So I told the kid, confused, because this is the rule here,
05:31this is the rule here.
05:32Before we talk about you being a single mother,
05:35when you said you separated,
05:37you stayed together for 6 years.
05:39I just remembered because we're doing this special here at GMA7.
05:43It starts this Sunday, May 12, Mother's Day.
05:46I'm doing a special called My Mother, My Story.
05:50Our first guest is Luis Manzano.
05:52And we are honored with the presence,
05:56or by the presence of Ms. Vilma Santos and Ryan Christian.
06:00Wow.
06:01One of the stories, Ms. Bow, is of Luis.
06:05When Eduardo and V were separating,
06:11he was brought to the cemetery of the Bayani.
06:14Watch the special so you'll know what they were talking about.
06:18The cemetery of the Bayani?
06:19Yes.
06:20Why the cemetery?
06:21He was, what, about 4 or 5 years old?
06:24He was brought by his dad and mom to the cemetery of the Bayani
06:27and that's where they talked.
06:29That's the narrative of how they broke the news to the young Luis
06:34that they were separating.
06:36When Vic and you were separating,
06:38did you do a conversation with the children?
06:40No.
06:41It was the other way around.
06:43Because, well, it's painful to think about it over and over again.
06:48But it was the other way around because the kids started noticing,
06:51how come Papa's not coming home?
06:54How come Daddy's always not home?
06:58Where is he?
06:59And then, I don't know, maybe he's at work.
07:03Until one day, he's not coming home.
07:08It's been 2 days, it's been 3 days, it's been 4 days,
07:11until he's not coming home.
07:14And then the kids got used to him not being there.
07:17And then Vic just said,
07:20okay, weekends you're going to spend with me
07:23and then weekdays you're going to spend with your mama.
07:26But you had that conversation?
07:28You had that agreement that,
07:29okay, I'll spend the weekend with you and the kids.
07:32It was just me and Vic.
07:34Just the two of you.
07:35You didn't explain to the kids why you were separating.
07:38Well, at one time, I said,
07:39and I remember we were in the set of one movie we were doing
07:43and we were crying that, you know,
07:45of course I wish that we could spend more time with Daddy,
07:48but I think, you know, we're going through some challenges
07:52and it's going to take time before I spend time with Daddy again.
07:58But Oyo had a violent reaction.
08:00No, I want Daddy.
08:02I want Daddy.
08:03Only Daddy.
08:04No other.
08:05Only Daddy.
08:06That's why whenever an actor comes up to me,
08:08go away, go away.
08:10He always thought he was getting something from me.
08:13Danica was more of,
08:15she knew that,
08:17I don't know, maybe Grandma told her.
08:19I don't know.
08:20But I never really got to tell her.
08:22But she was always looking for her Daddy
08:24because when Danica was alone,
08:26she didn't have a sibling,
08:28that was Vicky's happiest years.
08:31Every weekend, we would go out.
08:34We would go out of town every weekend.
08:37Danica was the favorite of everyone.
08:39Everybody wanted to carry her.
08:43Everybody wanted to hold her, to feed her.
08:46And then all of a sudden,
08:48she was different.
08:50Okay.
08:51So she was really affected.
08:53So I just said,
08:54well, I hope it's not like this.
08:56And then that's when she said,
08:57Mommy, I want you and Daddy to be back together.
09:02Every time I remember that,
09:03I cry, boy.
09:06Because as a mother,
09:09not because,
09:11you know,
09:12I still like Vic because he's Vic Soto.
09:14No, but every mother would want to be
09:16with the father of her children.
09:18Of course.
09:19It's every mother's wish to have a whole family.
09:22Not a broken one.
09:24So when you remember the pain of your children
09:28while they're telling you that,
09:30you feel so helpless.
09:33You wish you could change things,
09:35but you can't.
09:38There was no blame game in front of the children.
09:41No.
09:42You didn't fight in front of the kids.
09:44Never.
09:45Vic and I never.
09:46Actually, the kids were surprised.
09:48How come you're not together anymore?
09:50I never heard you and Daddy fight.
09:52Because we never fight in front of the kids.
09:54We never fight in front of the kids,
09:56and I never bad-mouthed their dad to the children.
09:59Never.
10:00That's why your children have a good relationship with their father.
10:02I never hurt his children.
10:04And I'd always say,
10:06you will only have one dad,
10:07and that's your dad,
10:08and you have to respect him.
10:10Did you have a confrontation with Vic about,
10:14this is what happened to me,
10:15we're just talking because of the dynamics of the relationship.
10:19Did you have a conversation with Vic about our friend,
10:23Connie Reyes?
10:25Did you have a conversation?
10:26Yeah.
10:27But it wasn't even a spirited fight or what.
10:30It was just quiet.
10:31We were just talking.
10:32Why?
10:33Why?
10:34Did you get an answer?
10:36Yeah.
10:37Because I was inexperienced.
10:40I said, what can you do?
10:41I'm a virgin.
10:42I mean, what?
10:43You want me to read all the books?
10:46I mean, you want to play games?
10:48Show me how.
10:50I was a kid.
10:52I didn't know much.
10:53I think that's what he said to me.
10:55Just to finish that narrative,
10:57how did the reconciliation,
11:00how did the friendship,
11:01how did the forgiveness happen?
11:05Oh, wow.
11:06It took a lot of time.
11:08Until the point that Danica was telling me,
11:12you know, mommy, you're so bitter.
11:14I wish you would really let go
11:17because you're so bitter.
11:18Because every waking moment,
11:21if there's a little opportunity,
11:23I would, you know,
11:24like when I felt sad and alone
11:25and I was having a hard time with the kids,
11:27like when we're transferring houses
11:28and all these things.
11:29You would rant.
11:30I would rant.
11:31Because I was so young.
11:33I should have a man with me.
11:35I'm so beautiful.
11:36I'm so pretty.
11:37I'm so famous.
11:39I'm up there.
11:41What?
11:42Are you serious?
11:45Right?
11:46But even,
11:47I wasn't a child anymore,
11:48but 23 is young.
11:50Right?
11:51You don't understand a lot of things.
11:54But I don't know.
11:55I guess, you know,
11:56through time,
11:57I said,
11:58there's no point in this
11:59unless I really let go
12:00and just accept that it's like this.
12:04And so eventually,
12:05I became a Christian
12:07after studying all the many religions.
12:09And then I bumped into her
12:10and she asked me,
12:11do you want to go to our church?
12:13I was surprised.
12:14Go to your church?
12:16I was confused.
12:18But then, you know,
12:19she said,
12:20you're not going to church
12:21for the sake of people.
12:23Right?
12:24You're going there for God.
12:25So,
12:26then I realized,
12:27and then I saw that,
12:29I mean,
12:30she changed in leaps and bounds,
12:32like bringing people to God,
12:34bringing people to Jesus,
12:36telling people about
12:37the good news of salvation.
12:39So I asked myself,
12:40my God,
12:41is there a person I'd like to hate?
12:44I can't hate this person.
12:47I can't.
12:49So I just,
12:50I let it go.
12:51And then I gave her
12:52a bunch of white roses
12:54and I said,
12:55I forgive you.
12:57And then she,
12:58actually,
12:59there was one time
13:00that she tried to talk to me
13:01because it was in public.
13:04But then I forgave her.
13:06I forgave Vic.
13:07I also sent him flowers
13:08and I said,
13:09I forgive you.
13:10But most of all,
13:11I forgive me.
13:13And then I imagined myself,
13:14you know,
13:15I went to the beach
13:16one time with the kids
13:17and I imagined myself
13:18throwing all my tears
13:19into the sea.
13:21Oh,
13:22my love,
13:23draining it out of me,
13:24but I'm letting you go.
13:26I want a fresh start,
13:27a new me.
13:29I'm still valuable.
13:30I'm still able.
13:32I have worth.
13:33I can,
13:34I am worth it.
13:35You know,
13:36I can reinvent myself.
13:37All is not lost.
13:38I can do things.
13:40And that's what happened.
13:42What did you become
13:44and what didn't you become
13:46because of your children
13:49and because of your mother?

17:50Let me go to my last question.
17:52What have you become
17:53because of your children?
17:55Or even,
17:56what haven't you become?
17:57What haven't I become
17:59because of my children?
18:01I didn't become
18:03the leading lady of Mel Gibson
18:04in East of Eden.
18:07No, it's not a joke.
18:08No.
18:09Totoo yun.
18:10I was offered to star
18:11in East of Eden
18:12with Mel Gibson
18:13after I did
18:14A Dangerous Life
18:15by Helen Val McElroy
18:17and they were working
18:18in the village,
18:19Australia.
18:20I was offered
18:21to live in Australia
18:22and to be an actress there
18:24and eventually
18:25to be in Hollywood,
18:26HBO.
18:27Wow.
18:28I was offered.
18:29Di dapat sana ngayon
18:30Hollywood actress ako.
18:31I'm slaying it
18:32in the Met Gala.
18:34Chura ni Tyler.
18:37That was an interesting
18:38dress in there.
18:40So you didn't become that?
18:41I didn't become that
18:42because I chose my kids.
18:43Kasi at that time
18:44na nagpaalam ako kay Vic,
18:45sabi ko,
18:46kukunin ko yung mga bata,
18:47pupunta kami ng Australia
18:48and I'm gonna live there.
18:49Vic said,
18:50if you do that,
18:51you will never see
18:52your kids again.
18:53What have I become
18:54because of my kids?
18:55I became an entrepreneur.
18:56I had to look for other ways
18:58and means to make money
18:59aside from being an actress
19:00and a talk show host.
19:02So I put up businesses
19:04and I became
19:05a successful business woman
19:06because of my inspiration,
19:11my kids.
19:12I wanted my kids
19:13to have a good life.
19:15Right.
19:16What have you?
19:17I became a forgiver.
19:18You became a forgiver.
19:20And I stopped
19:21being judgmental.
19:22Kasi before I was
19:23so judgmental.
19:24I was,
19:25masyado akong feelingera.
19:26Parang feeling ko,
19:27ah,
19:28ang ganda-ganda ko.
19:29Palagi akong tama.
19:30But then you know,
