00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Hi, Tito Boy.
00:09 Taka.
00:10 Haven't seen you in ages.
00:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14 How is it going to be done?
00:15 I mean, just free-flowing?
00:17 Yes.
00:17 OK.
00:18 Just roll it.
00:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21 I'm interviewing a henyo.
00:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:30 This is on now.
00:32 Rolling.
00:33 5, 4, 3, 2--
00:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:38 We want to start with blank pieces of paper.
00:57 This is my blank canvas, like painting.
01:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:03 And then the story, hopefully, will unfold.
01:06 Not anybody's story, but Luis Manzano's story.
01:10 So I'd like to welcome you to this very special, special--
01:15 we call "My Mother, My Story."
01:18 And [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:24 I'm fine, Tito Boy.
01:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Congratulations.
01:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:28 Thank you for having me.
01:30 It's been a while since I last did something for GMA.
01:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:38 Yeah.
01:39 Yeah.
01:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:40 Yes.
01:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:44 Because they want us to see--
01:46 to see it.
01:46 OK.
01:47 And to-- yeah.
01:48 OK.
01:49 To listen to what he's saying.
01:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:53 Yes.
01:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:56 Well, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:08 It's a process.
02:09 It's a process.
02:10 It's a process.
02:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:28 It must be-- it must have some sort of pressure.
02:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:39 I don't mind holding hands with that shadow
02:41 for the rest of my life.
02:43 I would love to forever be acknowledged
02:47 as the son of Velma, the son of Edu.
02:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:54 Yes.
02:56 Forever, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:08 Take me back to those years when you were in school.
03:12 Never, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] to be fair,
03:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:20 In fairness, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:22 In fairness, I never got any favors.
03:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:34 We want to talk to your parents.
03:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:18 Early on, they weren't just stars.
04:22 They were mega superstars.
04:24 Yes.
04:25 I realize that.
04:26 There was one time--
04:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:36 You know that story.
04:38 So she tried.
04:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:52 And she took three steps, took a few pictures,
04:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:02 I forgot what age that was.
05:04 But I fully understood what she wanted to do.
05:06 And I understood her influence.
05:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:13 So she was one of the biggest stars
05:15 and will always be one of the biggest stars.
05:17 I love you, Lucky.
05:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:21 I love you, Lucky.
05:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Because the reaction could have been,
05:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:38 No, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] one of the greatest gifts
05:41 that [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] is the gift of understanding.
05:46 In fact, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] which I can't remember.
05:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:15 And they simply told me that they have to go separate ways.
06:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I understood.
06:25 There was something in me that understood
06:27 that they're simply two adults.
06:31 They have to go separate ways.
06:32 And I had faith, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:34 which even if I don't remember, I
06:36 had faith [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:40 And you were very young.
06:41 I was very young.
06:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:44 Never from that day forward, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:53 Never.
06:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:58 It was never this me rebelling [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:04 Let me go to the crazy face of your life.
07:07 You know, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:12 Well, the usual son-mother fight.
07:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:19 That mom, I don't know what I want.
07:22 Let me go to the crazy face of your life.
07:29 You know, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:34 Well, the usual son-mother fight.
07:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] That mom, I don't know what I want.
07:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:49 [LAUGHTER]
07:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I don't know what I want.
07:57 [LAUGHTER]
08:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:05 My craziness was when I was in college.
08:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:25 So that was the craziness.
08:27 But it was never dependent on my mom, her relationships,
08:33 or our relationship.
08:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] It was never like that.
08:36 What was that Boracay story?
08:39 Wow.
08:40 I was there for a month.
08:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:43 That was part of the crazy days?
08:47 Partly.
08:48 Partly the crazy days.
08:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:53 This is college, 2001.
08:56 OK.
08:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:09 Why?
09:10 Because I just wanted to be alone.
09:12 I just wanted to live my own life.
09:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:19 That's a classic moment.
09:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:33 [LAUGHTER]
09:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:04 We've had our fair share of disagreements, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:14 Not sure if right door, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:18 It was her gift to me, a car.
10:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:24 [LAUGHTER]
10:37 You know, those small things teaches you responsibility.
10:40 Of course.
10:40 It was like that.
10:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:03 Never start a fight.
11:05 But once it's there, finish it.
11:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:14 You can't push her around.
11:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:19 Go ahead.
11:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:24 [LAUGHTER]
11:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:15 [LAUGHTER]
12:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:43 Yes.
12:44 Yes.
12:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:46 Life was complex before, and life is complex as it is.
12:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:57 Watershed moment, though, the turning point of your life
13:01 was when you became a mixed VJ.
13:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:10 It gave me renewed purpose.
13:13 Each one of us, each and every one of us,
13:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:18 It's OK to cruise.
13:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:20 It's OK that I wake up.
13:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:28 You go home.
13:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:36 Yeah, of course.
13:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:39 You don't know what you want.
13:44 He spoke to me about knowledge.
13:45 The realization in life.
13:47 Yep.
13:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:49 Acknowledging your worth.
13:50 Yeah.
13:51 So it happened to him too, right?
13:53 Yeah.
13:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:56 And you and I would often talk about it.
13:59 Yeah.
14:01 One day, Peanut grows up into a young, beautiful girl.
14:07 Hypothetical.
14:09 You get into a conversation, and she says,
14:11 dad, I don't know what I want.
14:14 It's OK.
14:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:20 It's OK.
14:22 You will never have all the answers in it.
14:25 When you have questions, when you wake up with questions,
14:29 when you sleep with questions, the next day,
14:31 I can't guarantee you you'll have the answers.
14:33 But I'll figure out the question with you.
14:37 Now he's talking like a dad.
14:41 You're OK, son.
14:42 You're OK.
14:43 I'm good.
14:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:45 Saturday.
14:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:48 Luis, your mother was going through one
14:52 of the roughest patches of her life.
14:55 Yes.
14:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:57 So finances.
14:58 Yes.
14:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:00 Was about--
15:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:05 With an $8 million loan.
15:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:09 You heard this story.
15:10 Yes.
15:10 That's one reason why Lucky ang pangalan ko.
15:13 OK, one story kung bakit Lucky ang pangalan ko.
15:17 My original name was supposed to be Nikolai.
15:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:21 Yeah.
15:22 Gusto-gusto ko yung Nikolai.
15:25 Nikolai dapat ang pangalan ko.
15:27 Ang birth weight ko was 7.7.
15:30 So that's one.
15:30 Lucky, seven daw.
15:32 Second is, nung nabunti si mommy,
15:34 we all know how the Filipino audience used to be,
15:37 and to some degree may still be.
15:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:41 Our audience, kasi natin, relies on availability.
15:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:47 And leading lady, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:49 And love team, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:52 So I guess it was the same way before.
15:56 So si mommy, that was also the same time
15:57 nagpakasal sila ni daddy.
15:59 So doon pa lang pwede magshift na yung tinatawag nating
16:02 a star power, if you will, ng mommy ko.
16:04 At mag-iiba na yung demographic niya, dahil may-usahong na siya.
16:07 Pero nung nabunti sa akin si mommy,
16:10 that's when all the awards started coming in.
16:13 Sobrang daming awards niyang napanalunan.
16:17 And I think that's when she signed,
16:19 I could be wrong, like a 15 movie deal between three outfits.
16:23 Doon sa 15 movies na ginawa niya,
16:25 ni peso wala siyang nahawakan.
16:27 Lahat yun, pambayad utang sa bangko.
16:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:48 That's when all the movies started coming in, all the awards.
16:50 Nag-glance lang siya.
16:51 So sa mga pelikula na nag-love scene daw si mommy,
16:54 eto yung shot.
16:55 Tumatakbo pa daw siya sa mga eksena,
16:57 na binadaya na lang yung shot.
16:59 But a malax daw nung kapit ko.
17:01 So yeah, that's why naging lucky.
17:03 So alam ko yun.
17:04 That's why, you know, it's not a bad thing.
17:06 Si mommy is quite ganyan sa pera.
17:10 May naman say it's bad, na mas naging why siya sa pera.
17:14 But she was making very, very bad decisions
17:17 before you were born.
17:18 You know why?
17:19 Because I was only 27 then, 27 years old.
17:23 When I had you, I was 42, anak.
17:26 Ikaw 42 na si mommy.
17:28 28?
17:29 Yeah.
17:30 I was 27 when I gave birth to kuya.
17:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:38 At her lowest, naging ano ka pagdating sa finances,
17:45 pagdating sa pera.
17:47 Yes.
17:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:51 Yeah, ganun siya.
17:51 And you're right.
17:52 Yeah.
17:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:54 I made some bad choices din naman sa buhay ko,
18:04 financially, trusted the wrong people din.
18:07 Same as nangyari kay mommy.
18:09 Pero wala.
18:09 Sabi ko nga, I've said this in interviews,
18:12 and medyo showbiz man pakingan, but it's true.
18:14 Siguro kung hindi nangyari yung mga nangyari dati,
18:17 we wouldn't be having this conversation.
18:19 Everything na mangyari sa buhay mo, good, bad, iyak, tawa,
18:25 leads you to where you are right now.
18:26 Pag may binagwa ka doon, chances are
18:28 you wouldn't be where you are.
18:29 So I'm OK.
18:30 I have peanut with me.
18:32 So I think all the experiences led me to that moment
18:36 with my family, us having this conversation.
18:38 And right after, siguro I call my mom, my dad, and say,
18:41 I love you.
18:41 Let's go to your experience when you first saw your daughter.
18:53 Everything slowed down that moment.
18:55 Jesse was sleeping.
18:57 I had my daughter in my arms.
18:59 Para ako nagtanong di sya.
19:01 Everything just blurred around her face.
19:05 Tasa yun na yung mukha, so fragile, a little manzano.
19:08 I love you.
19:13 And then you realize everything.
19:18 You realize what your parents did for you.
19:20 You realize your past decisions, both good and bad,
19:24 how everything led to that point na hawak mo na yung anak mo.
19:27 And you want to give the world and more.
19:31 So everything just slowed down.
19:33 Na video ni HowHow yun na.
19:35 Hindi ko alam kung naali pong atin ba sya,
19:37 or basta matumilu ka ako.
19:39 Because everything just slowed down to peanut.
19:42 May panahon na binibilangan ka ng mommy mo.
19:54 Ang anak ko 36 na wala pang asawa.
19:56 37 na--
19:57 [LAUGHTER]
19:59 40-- ano ba?
20:01 When she was telling you that, what was going on in your mind?
20:07 To be fair naman, she--
20:09 biniblirt lang niya.
20:10 But it was never a pressuring thing.
20:12 She would just throw it out there.
20:13 I guess ngayon ko lang aaminin to tito mo, eh.
20:15 Baka pwede nga i-guess mo si mommy.
20:19 Unang hawak niya kay peanut.
20:21 Unang hawak niya--
20:21 I think this is the first or third week.
20:24 Third week kay peanut.
20:25 Pagkatatingin sa bahay, so hawak ni Jesse, si peanut.
20:28 So sabi niya ko, so i-aabot niya kay mommy.
20:31 So si mommy--
20:32 Jesse, wait lang, wait lang, wait lang.
20:34 Tama ba yung hawak ko?
20:35 Tama ba yung hawak ko?
20:37 Tito boy, hindi siya marunong humahawak ng bata.
20:40 So ngayon, iniisip ko talagang nakargaba niya ako ng bata ako.
20:44 O kahit si Ryan man lang.
20:45 Tito boy, inaabot siya ni Jesse.
20:46 Wait lang, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
20:47 Tama ba yung laing? Tama ba yung laing?
20:48 Saan na paano ako?
20:49 Sila ako.
20:50 Hindi, ako binuhat nito.
20:52 Kung binuhat man ako, chance are nalaglag ako, tito boy,
20:55 kaya ako nagkaganito.
20:57 Mommy, mag-uusap tayo pag-uwi.
20:59 E, kasi nanginginig.
21:00 So akala ko naman yung--
21:01 Ah, ito na po, ma'am.
21:02 Si--
21:02 Hi, Bian.
21:04 Nanginginig, gumagunog, nangingis.
21:06 So ngayon, 'di mo kailangan ka sagutin pag-uwi, Bi.
21:09 Wag ka matutulog.
21:11 Sasagutin mo 'to pag-uwi ko.
21:13 He's crazy.
21:16 Si Raul nito talaga.
21:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:21 Oh my God, who's here?
21:29 Wow.
21:31 Hi, Mike.
21:32 Wow.
21:34 Hindi mo pwedeng sabihin kung saan-saan ka ikinasal,
21:36 dahil kinasal ka dito sa napakagandang lugar mo.
21:38 Yes.
21:40 It was--
21:41 Sa farm.
21:41 Kaminari 'to po ngayon.
21:43 It was such a beautiful wedding,
21:45 officiated by Mayor Eric Afrika.
21:48 Doon lumabas yung meme ko.
21:50 Yung iyak ko.
21:51 Nakapink-suit ako.
21:52 Tito boy, noong time na 'yon, siguro almost 20 years ako
21:55 sa industry, ah.
21:57 Noong kumanat yung meme na 'yon, doon lang ako sumikat.
22:01 When that happened, that's such a beautiful moment
22:03 na parang kitang-kita naman doon sa iyak ko.
22:07 How overwhelming it was for me.
22:09 And everything was just so beautiful.
22:12 It was.
22:13 It was.
22:14 I guess the simplicity made it beautiful,
22:16 how intimate the things were.
22:18 It was just our day.
22:20 Lalo na, kung yung narrative din na galing sa nanay mo,
22:23 tingin siya kay Eduardo, tingin siya kay Ralph,
22:27 sayo, and that made that whole thing, you know.
22:31 This is it.
22:32 Oh my God, who's here?
22:41 Wow.
22:43 Hi!
22:44 Wow!
22:45 Hi, Tito Boy.
22:46 Hi, Ryan.
22:47 Hi, V.
22:48 May idea ka san?
22:50 No, no.
22:51 Promise.
22:51 I'm asking.
22:52 I love you.
22:53 Hi!
22:54 What's up, Los Muertos?
22:55 Wow!
22:57 Wala kang idea na?
22:58 Huh?
22:58 No.
22:59 Wala kang idea?
22:59 Thank you, Tito Boy.
23:01 Wala kang idea?
23:03 Pinanood ka namin.
23:05 Thank you, thank you.
23:06 You were here the whole time?
23:07 You were watching the whole time?
23:08 The whole time, since you started.
23:12 Oh my God.
23:13 I heard everything.
23:14 We heard everything.
23:16 Reaction?
23:17 Isa kong napuna talaga yung anak ko.
23:19 Wala kang interview yung madi-direchong talagang seryoso.
23:23 But agami insight.
23:25 Yeah, yeah.
23:25 Agami.
23:27 Thank you.
23:27 Galit yun, ha?
23:28 Huh?
23:29 And then--
23:29 Yung pagkakagalan mo, parang ano yun?
23:31 Naggalit, igin ng ulo.
23:32 And then the kind words, the nicest words I heard
23:40 is yung mga sinabi mo about your bro.
23:44 You were teary-eyed.
23:45 I appreciate it.
23:45 Yeah, yeah.
23:46 You guys raised me.
23:48 Yeah, really, really.
23:49 I'm grateful to you guys.
23:50 This whole thing with you.
23:51 He was teary-eyed, anak.
23:53 Luis, how similar and how different from you is Ryan?
23:58 He is the nicest person on earth para sa akin.
24:02 Ako, I'll be the first one to say, ako madami akong sungay.
24:05 Lumadamas kung kailangan.
24:07 But si Ryan is the kindest person.
24:10 Parang wala akong makitang masamang buto kay Ryan.
24:13 And I mean it.
24:15 I'm excited for what the future has in store for Ryan.
24:19 And I pray for him each and every night.
24:22 May mga napagdaanan din si Ryan.
24:24 But nakita ko ngayon na slowly things
24:27 are falling into place sa kanya.
24:29 And para sa akin yung mga kapatid ko, si Ryan, si Addy,
24:33 si Enzo, si Diego.
24:34 These are the betterment of Luis Manzano.
24:38 Lahat na mga wala ako, lahat na mga hindi ko ma-achieve,
24:41 kaya nalilang nang gano'n lang.
24:42 Wow.
24:43 Considering how blessed Ryan is, the family is,
24:46 alam mo ba gaano katagal bago magpalit ng cell phone 'yan?
24:50 Oh, hindi.
24:50 Oh, oh God.
24:51 Pag may nag-snatch, ay, nanggiya ko dito.
24:54 Pag may nag-snatch, bilhan ko siya ng telepono.
24:56 Magpalitan mo nito.
24:57 Yeah.
24:58 Kahit yung phone niya, ano'ng tawag doon, anak?
25:01 May crack na yung--
25:01 Yung tempered glass?
25:02 Oh, yung tempered glass, may crack na.
25:04 Nakpalitan mo na 'yan.
25:06 No, I'm fine.
25:06 It's fine.
25:07 Gano'n siya.
25:07 Gumagana pa naman.
25:08 Why, bro?
25:09 Gumagana pa naman.
25:10 I can still call and text.
25:12 Okay pa naman.
25:13 Kung sinan doon ang mga video, alam ko na huli ka.
25:16 Huli ka!
25:16 Sige.
25:17 Thank you everyone for your time.
25:18 'Di pa pili ko 'yung binadownload mo.
25:20 Salamat na, guys.
25:22 'Di ko 'yung binadownload mo.
25:23 Kung saan, 'pag sinasabi--
25:25 Sing, experience, and all that.
25:27 'Pag sinasabi ko sa Ryan is,
25:29 you know, kung may isa akong gari din na gusto magbuka si Peanut,
25:32 is makukha niya 'yon mula sa Tito Ryan.
25:35 The goodness that he has in his soul.
25:38 In his heart.
25:40 I appreciate that.
25:40 But I owe it to them talaga.
25:42 Like, I grew up with them.
25:43 I really grew up with you guys.
25:45 Like, you were just like a room away.
25:46 And you were always in the living room.
25:48 In spite of you being busy naman, you always made time.
25:51 I can never say na you weren't there.
25:55 You guys, and my cousins too.
25:57 Yeah.
25:57 You know?
25:58 So, we're a close family.
26:00 So, swerte talaga ako.
26:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:05 The crazy nights, the crazy phase of his life.
26:10 How were you reacting?
26:12 That time, I was a mom.
26:14 May time na I'm a friend.
26:16 Pero may time na nagiging nanay din ako sa kanila.
26:19 And that time na dumaan 'yung challenges na 'yan kay Lucky,
26:23 I was a mom.
26:24 'Yon talagang nahirapan din ako sa kanya
26:26 kasi hindi rin naging marami 'tong mga experiences din
26:31 na hindi maganda.
26:33 Gabi-gabi, laseng.
26:34 You know?
26:35 But dumadaan siya kasi sa pagsubok nun.
26:38 And that was the time na talagang winakong
26:40 one ko kami sa kwarto.
26:42 Ano ba talaga gusto mo?
26:44 You know, ano ba talaga gusto mo?
26:45 'Yon 'yung pinalakot ka nun.
26:47 Uma-arty ako.
26:48 Ano ba talaga gusto mo na?
26:50 And 'di ko anonun tinry na.
26:52 Siyempre, I was hurting as a mom.
26:54 'Yon para bang, I feel na I'm trying to do everything.
26:56 Bakit kapag ganyan?
27:00 Anong gusto mo?
27:01 Isa nang sinagot niya sa akin 'yung tinatanong ko,
27:04 "Ano ba? May mali ba? May maganyan sa buhay ko?"
27:06 Isa lang sinagot niya.
27:07 "Because I don't know what I want in life."
27:10 And you know what?
27:11 It happened to him too.
27:13 Oh, yeah.
27:14 Alam mo 'yan.
27:15 The good thing is,
27:18 hindi na lang akong kumukonfront.
27:21 Meron na siyang kuya na pupuntahan.
27:24 Na iiyakan niya yung kuya niya.
27:27 So, dumadaan din siya sa challenges.
27:29 So, sa lahat ng mom,
27:31 hindi madali maging nanay.
27:33 May mamay ka.
27:36 You know, 'yung burden,
27:38 especially if you want to have
27:40 good, productive children,
27:43 God-fearing, na gusto mo they'll have a good life too.
27:47 Kung anong meron ka, dapat meron sila.
27:50 Looking, make sure that they have good future.
27:54 Kung 'yun ang nasa isip mo,
27:55 tas dumadaan sila sa challenges,
27:57 hindi madali 'yun. May pain 'yun sa nanay.
27:59 And then you don't know what to do.
28:01 But the good thing, may partner ka naman na nakaguide din.
28:04 Pero usually, it's the mom na nakafocus.
28:07 Am I right, kids?
28:08 Yeah.
28:08 You heard the Boracay story?
28:11 Yes. 'Yung tumaka siya.
28:13 I was worried.
28:13 Alam mo 'yun.
28:14 'Yung kumuli ako para i-kiss ko.
28:16 How was, sabi ko, your mom reacting?
28:18 I mean, knowing you na gusto mong alam
28:21 kung ano lahat ang nangyayari sa'yo na.
28:23 Hindi ko na siya mapipigil, Tito Boy.
28:25 It's just, isa lang lagi ko naman hinihiling sa kanya,
28:28 "Anak, malaman ko lang kung nasaan ka."
28:31 And I'm fine.
28:32 As long as I know for that day, you're safe.
28:35 Ganun lang naman eh.
28:36 Pero with 'yung mga happenings nila,
28:39 nasight ko na rin 'yung sarili ko na
28:41 natuto ko sa kanya,
28:42 na nai-apply ko kay Ryan.
28:44 I'm concerned ako sa mga anak ko,
28:47 nagwa-worry ako.
28:48 Pero it cannot be na lagi akong nadian to
28:52 hawakan sila sa liig.
28:53 Kailangan may time na rin na bumitaw ako.
28:56 Nagwa-worry ako.
28:57 Alam naman nila 'yon eh.
28:58 Kaya lang, no, no.
29:00 Sinasabi ko sa sarili ko,
29:01 "Baby, bayahan mo sila.
29:03 Let them enjoy.
29:04 And matututo sa buhay yan.
29:06 Let them enjoy.
29:06 Just check on them."
29:07 Tinuturoan ko rin yung sarili ko
29:08 kasi sometimes nagiging
29:10 baka overprotective na.
29:12 Because it happened to me.
29:14 Kay mama.
29:15 [Music]
29:41 Palagay mo Luis as a parent,
29:43 dadating ka dun.
29:44 Allowing your daughter to spread her wings.
29:48 Nasa one year and five na siya.
29:50 Hindi pa siya naaarawan.
29:52 [Laughs]
29:54 It's inevitable.
29:55 At one point,
29:56 your child will have to experience the world.
29:59 You will have to let your child fly,
30:02 experience the good and the bad.
30:06 But you always hope and pray
30:09 that your child falls back on how you raised them.
30:13 Para sa akin, when you become a parent,
30:14 you become a realist.
30:16 You understand the good and the bad
30:19 that this world has to offer.
30:21 That's why, kumbaga,
30:22 it's inevitable magbuboyfriend yan
30:24 or whatever her preference may be.
30:28 But then you just fall back
30:30 on the goodness in her core
30:32 that you hopefully raised her with that goodness.
30:36 And that's exactly what your mom did.
30:38 I would like to think na,
30:39 despite...
30:39 Connecting the dots now.
30:41 I'd like to think na
30:42 sa lahat ang tapagdaan ako sa buhay,
30:44 I didn't turn out so bad.
30:45 Pero may sinabi ka
30:46 ang napaka-importante na word,
30:47 "Whatever her preference may be."
30:50 Yes.
30:51 Ang hihingi ko lang kay Peanut,
30:54 kung saka sa kalimaan,
30:55 sabi ko nga,
30:55 "Whatever preference sa iyong mamahalin,
30:57 ang hihingi ko lang sa iyo
30:59 ay yung magiging partner mo sa buhay,
31:02 either C, Gohongwe, Razon,
31:05 maganda 'yon.
31:06 ang mga apelido o Tan."
31:08 Tan Caktiong.
31:09 'Yong 'di lang ang mahihingi ko.
31:10 Nothing more, nothing less.
31:11 Ganda.
31:12 Walang pressure 'yon.
31:14 [Laughs]
31:16 Whatever it may be.
31:16 Agree ako 'don.
31:17 But going back to that,
31:19 sabi ko nga,
31:19 because that was not the language of...
31:21 our language,
31:22 not the language of your dad or your mom.
31:24 But ngayon,
31:25 I'm starting to realize
31:26 that even parenting
31:27 has evolved to a certain place.
31:29 I think so.
31:30 Would you ever get into public service?
31:32 Anong reaction mo
31:35 na hindi lang sikat na artista ang iyong ina,
31:39 pumasok pa sa politika?
31:41 Alam mo, it's one of those things
31:43 na never ko rin naisip
31:44 when I was younger.
31:45 Pero,
31:46 I'm a firm believer
31:48 na
31:49 we all have an obligation to serve.
31:52 Nagkataon na 'yon ang nabigay na
31:54 baraha kay mommy.
31:56 So parang after serving so many people,
31:58 'yong showbiz is not just movie.
31:59 'Yong talaga alam ko maraming
32:00 natulungan si mommy sa ilong na camera.
32:02 Then that is naturally the next step
32:05 para sa kanya.
32:06 So naniniwala ako sa kanya
32:07 simulat sa pool na
32:08 may ganun si mommy
32:09 sa pagtulong talaga sa tao.
32:11 And 'yong nakikita niyo kay mommy
32:12 pag nangangampanya siya
32:14 or how she really is
32:15 sa kanya yung mga tagahanga,
32:17 'yong yumayahap talaga siya.
32:18 Siya 'yon.
32:19 Siya 'yon talaga.
32:20 Hindi siya yumayahap
32:21 dahil kampanya,
32:22 dahil may camera.
32:23 No.
32:23 If you see my mom,
32:24 that's her love language talaga.
32:27 Would you ever get into public service?
32:29 Alam ko dito, boy, to be honest,
32:30 I think this is the first time
32:32 na ikukwento ko 'to.
32:33 Siguro mga three or four admins ago pa lang,
32:37 different sectors would talk to me na.
32:40 May mga nakausap ako
32:42 and they're asking kung pwede ako tumakbo
32:44 to create a legacy of the Recto Service,
32:48 the Santos Recto Service,
32:50 and my own.
32:51 Noong time na 'yon,
32:52 sobrang busy ko sa showbiz.
32:53 I was juggling three, four shows
32:57 nagkataon na when it rains, it pours.
32:59 So ang pangit naman,
33:00 if I have all those obligations in Manila,
33:03 tapos hihingi ako ng boto sayo,
33:05 tapos pag may kailangan kayo,
33:06 I will promise the heaven and the earth,
33:09 tapos biglang nila pag kailangan na ng public servant,
33:13 wala ako doon.
33:13 Bakit? Kasi nag-host siya.
33:15 Hindi eh.
33:16 So darating din tayo d'yan.
33:18 Sabi ko kung sakali man,
33:19 pero syempre, pag dumating tayo d'yan,
33:21 at least I have more focus to give.
33:24 Kung sakali man, 'di ba?
33:25 Sabi ko nga,
33:26 iba 'yung nagtatayo ka ng kalsada,
33:28 iba 'yung nagtatayo kayo ng mga eskwelahan,
33:30 iba 'yung gumagawa kayo ng paraan
33:32 para talaga mapamutay ang buhay ng mga tao.
33:35 Para sa akin, not everyone is given that chance.
33:37 'Di ba?
33:37 So kung sakali,
33:38 if that door is open para sa akin,
33:40 or even open halfway,
33:42 because of who my parents are,
33:43 and d'yan na rin,
33:44 maybe I might cross that line.
33:48 And again, ang pinangagalingan ko ay,
33:51 here is a mother who had been in,
33:53 who is, you know,
33:55 one of the biggest stars in the business,
33:57 and who is one of the most respected public servants.
34:01 Walang pleasure ito.
34:03 Never did you hear your mother say,
34:05 "Ito dapat ang gawin mo."
34:06 No, never.
34:07 Kahit sa showbiz,
34:09 never na anak,
34:10 kailangan mo mag-showbiz,
34:11 ito yung tinahak naming landas ng daddy mo.
34:14 Never.
34:15 Naging sino ka dahil sa iyong mga anak?
34:22 Si Ryan,
34:24 si Luis,
34:25 ang bayan ng Batangas?
34:27 Naging sino si Vilma Santos
34:29 dahil sa lahat ng mga iyon?
34:32 Mother.
34:34 Nanay.
34:36 Yun, yun na yun.
34:37 Yung word ng mother,
34:39 bilang isang nanay ng aking mga anak,
34:42 ng Lipa,
34:42 ng Batangas,
34:44 at bilang Congresswoman,
34:45 naging nanay din ng mga
34:47 tao o pamilya ko sa Batangas.
34:49 So the magic word dun,
34:51 yung bumuunan tao ko
34:52 yung pagiging nanay ko,
34:54 a mother.
34:55 Naging sino ka nang dahil sa iyong ina?
35:04 Wow.
35:05 I think
35:07 that's for people to answer.
35:09 Kasi mahirap mukha din ang sarili kong
35:11 sariling bangko.
35:12 But,
35:14 kung sasagutin lang,
35:15 I was...
35:16 siguro kung baga sa Marvel,
35:20 maraming mga multiverse.
35:21 Iba-ibang karakter yan.
35:23 Para sa akin, dahil sa ina ko,
35:25 I became the best version of myself.
35:29 Maraming salamat, Luis.
35:30 Thank you, Tita Boy.
35:31 Strength is in you.
35:33 Tita Boy,
35:35 is this a joke?
35:37 Because I'm laughing.
35:39 It's different when you're laughing.
35:41 It's different when you're serious in an interview.
35:44 Is it not?
35:45 Hey, this is a joke.
35:46 It's serious.
35:47 Tita Boy,
35:47 the money I'm paying
35:48 is expensive.
35:49 Oh,
35:50 oh my God.
35:52 That didn't happen in an interview.
36:03 Thank you.
36:05 Thank you.
36:07 Thank you.
36:09 Thank you.
36:11 Thank you.
36:13 Thank you.
36:15 Thank you.
36:17 Thank you.
36:19 Thank you.
36:21 Thank you.
36:23 Thank you.
