00:00 I want to know how much of your life is still in the hands of your great mother, Vilma Santos.
00:11 You know, uncle, they say that it must have some sort of pressure.
00:19 That I'm the son of Vilma Santos, I'm the son of Eddo Manzano.
00:24 But for me, I don't mind holding hands with that shadow for the rest of my life.
00:29 I would love to forever be acknowledged as the son of Vilma, the son of Eddo.
00:35 For me, it's a badge of honor that I can proudly say to anyone watching that,
00:40 Yes, I'm forever the son of V and Eddo.
00:45 You were a kid, you were studying,
00:47 no one can avoid knowing that you are the son of two great artists.
00:54 Yes.
00:55 Take me back to those years when you were in school.
00:58 To be fair, I went to grade school, I went to high school in Culeos, Agustin, in Makati.
01:06 In fairness, if I fell, I fell.
01:09 In fairness, I never got any favors from the teachers back then.
01:14 I remember when I got a lot of grades, I would put it in my diary.
01:20 "We want to talk to your parents."
01:22 Stuff like that.
01:23 So when I got home, I would say, "Mommy, the school is calling you."
01:27 "Why?"
01:28 "Because my grades are a bit…"
01:30 But what I don't get is,
01:32 I'm sorry to my teachers,
01:33 what I don't get is, "Mommy, my grades are okay, but why are you calling me?"
01:38 "I think they want to take a picture of you."
01:40 "I feel like I just want to see the teachers."
01:43 She said, "Is that so? Okay, I'll just go there."
01:47 To be honest, my grades are a bit low.
01:51 So when I was studying, I would say,
01:53 "I don't want to see a line of 8 in any of your grades."
01:56 So I gave her a line of 7.
01:58 You fulfilled it.
02:00 Yeah, that's the reason why.
02:02 A line of 7.
02:04 Early on, there weren't just stars.
02:08 There were mega superstars.
02:10 Yes.
02:11 I realized that.
02:12 There was one time,
02:14 maybe she wanted me to feel like I was an artist,
02:17 I was a star for all seasons,
02:18 but I was still a normal person.
02:20 And that aspect is still there.
02:22 You know that story.
02:24 So she tried to take me to a supermarket.
02:27 My mom was the one who ran it.
02:29 When we got to the supermarket,
02:32 there were three steps to a door.
02:34 You'd think it was my mom's mall show.
02:36 It was full of people.
02:38 And she took three steps,
02:40 took a few pictures,
02:41 and she told me,
02:43 "Come on, let's go home."
02:45 I wanted to be normal.
02:46 I took my son to the grocery store.
02:48 I forgot what age that was,
02:50 but I fully understood what she wanted to do.
02:53 And I understood her influence on people.
02:56 It's not simple to see her on TV.
02:59 She was one of the biggest stars,
03:01 and will always be one of the biggest stars.
03:04 I love you, Lucky!
03:06 To my dearest, Lana!
