00:00 I don't sugarcoat things.
00:02 If I'm asked about something, I'll still tell the truth.
00:06 I'm just more careful now with my answers.
00:10 Because, again, I said this before, Nelson,
00:13 we're in the social media age now.
00:15 Sometimes, what happens is that it gets twisted.
00:17 Maybe the last issue, the one that was like cheating,
00:22 what I learned from that is that it's funny.
00:31 Because people are really good at telling stories.
00:36 Let's talk about you being a daughter of Vic Soto and Dina Bonavie.
00:43 Was it hard for you when you were growing up or was it easy for you?
00:46 You know, it's the same.
00:48 You're always getting compared to your parents.
00:50 You should be good to them, rich, smart, beautiful.
00:57 I remember growing up, I was always getting compared to my mom.
01:01 I felt bad for her because her mom wasn't beautiful.
01:04 There's the proof.
01:06 It looks like a carbon copy of Miss D.
01:09 Okay, updaters, this is going to be exciting.
01:18 Of course, because I'm talking to you now.
01:20 The only one who, how would I describe her?
01:24 A devoted mom and wife, a content creator, an actress,
01:29 and a true blue showbiz royalty.
01:34 Let's welcome Danica Soto Pingriz.
01:38 Hello! Hi, Nelson!
01:40 It's been a long time.
01:42 Super long time.
01:44 I've been waiting for this for a long time.
01:48 But how has it been?
01:50 You said you've been quiet.
01:51 How are you now?
01:53 I'm okay.
01:54 I'm okay.
01:55 Like I said, I'm a bit focused.
01:58 Sometimes, I just can't do it.
02:02 The show, I mean, I think the last show that I did was a talk show.
02:10 It was pre-pandemic.
02:14 And then, the last show I did or the acting shows were years ago.
02:20 Because I'm really focused on my family, especially Mark and the kids.
02:27 So, my eldest is already turning 16.
02:32 And then, my second oldest, the only girl, she is turning 13 this year.
02:40 And then, our baby Luke, we suddenly had a baby.
02:48 He's already 15 months.
02:51 15, 16 months.
02:53 I'm confused with the number.
02:55 What's the challenging part for you as a mom?
02:58 Because knowing that these are different age groups.
03:02 Like we said earlier, their needs are different.
03:06 Yes.
03:08 Actually, the challenge for me is that the kids are different now.
03:12 I think a lot of parents would agree with me because of the digital age.
03:16 When we were young, our parents would say something.
03:21 "Just look at them. You're quiet now."
03:24 When you look at them, "What? What?"
03:28 You'll laugh.
03:32 Like, "Why?" They don't know.
03:34 Before, when they say, "No, no."
03:36 Now, "No, why?"
03:38 You have to explain.
03:39 Why?
03:39 Because you can't really command them.
03:44 Because you can already find the answers online.
03:47 You expose them.
03:49 Even if you don't expose them to the house, they meet a lot of friends.
03:54 They're exposed to the digital age.
03:58 Even in school.
04:01 For example, "Don't use tablets at home, but in school."
04:05 So for me, that's the challenge.
04:08 Because they're not the last in technology, but at the same time,
04:14 I still want the discipline that I learned from my parents,
04:19 I can apply that to them.
04:22 Like, let's meet halfway.
04:24 Let's combine what we learned from this generation.
04:29 From the millennials, and now, the Gen Z.
04:33 Recently, your mom gave a guest on "Pass Talk with Boy Abundant."
04:37 She told me how disciplinary she is.
04:40 Actually, you're the one who experienced the extreme discipline.
04:45 Yes, I'm the eldest.
04:47 How much of it did you bring to being a mom?
04:53 Yes, for me, I think I brought a lot of it.
04:58 Even my kids said, "You're like Mama D."
05:01 I'm not the type of person who just buys one thing and goes.
05:08 Although, sometimes you know you can buy it.
05:13 But I want to explain to them the value of money.
05:16 It's a beautiful job.
05:18 It's not because we have money.
05:25 You should know where it comes from.
05:27 You have to know the value of hard work.
05:30 So, that's what my mom taught me.
05:33 Growing up, I was jealous of her.
05:34 Because I felt like, "Mom is so complicated."
05:38 But she was just teaching me that
05:40 one day, when I have a family and I'm no longer in their power,
05:46 I will know how to handle things.
05:48 It's not like, as they say,
05:51 "You're just a rich kid who grew up.
05:54 You experienced a little hardship, and you gave it up."
05:58 Right?
05:58 I think, if my mom didn't teach me that,
06:05 I'm teaching them.
06:06 Sometimes, they understand.
06:08 Sometimes, there's a time when they're still against it.
06:11 Like, "Mom is like that."
06:14 So, I'm trying my best to apply that.
06:17 It's not like you're too strict.
06:19 It's not like you're just picking on them.
06:24 Who's strict?
06:25 If you were to compare, is it you or Miss D?
06:27 It's my mom.
06:30 She's an OG.
06:32 She always loses to me.
06:34 She always loses to me, D.
06:36 Okay.
06:39 You know, Danica, I do not mean this the wrong way.
06:44 But, you were known for being outspoken.
06:49 You were a talker, just like your mom.
06:52 Did you mellow down as you had children?
06:57 I think so.
06:59 Although, I don't sugarcoat things.
07:01 If I'm asked about something, I'll still tell the truth.
07:06 I'm just more careful now, with my answers.
07:10 Because, again, I told you, Nelson,
07:13 social media is an age now.
07:17 Sometimes, what happens is, it gets twisted.
07:19 Before, it was just a jar.
07:21 I was asked about that.
07:22 It was just a jar.
07:24 What you said, that's it.
07:26 No more, no less.
07:28 Now, sometimes, things get twisted.
07:30 Like on YouTube, I see a lot of sites
07:33 where what I said, or there are memes,
07:37 and then, boom, they mix it up.
07:40 So, I think that's where it comes from.
07:43 It's not like I mellowed down in the sense that
07:47 I just want to make sure that I don't get hit.
07:54 Especially, you know, my siblings are all grown up.
07:59 They're adults now, so they have money.
08:01 You don't want to tell something about the past,
08:05 and then, it might be misinterpreted.
08:07 And, it's different because they'll be able to watch it.
08:10 There are things that you can share online,
08:14 and there are things that are just for the family.
08:18 Even if you say that it's a public figure,
08:19 you need to learn to respect it.
08:24 Maybe, I'm just being tempered now.
08:26 Okay, let's talk about you being a wife.
08:30 You know, okay, I'll be candid about this, Danica.
08:35 I don't think this is the first time
08:38 that someone has been forced on you as a couple.
08:42 But, how do you talk about this?
08:45 I don't want to go into details,
08:47 but maybe you already know,
08:49 and because it's really out on the internet.
08:51 Yes.
08:51 You're a couple, you and Mark.
08:52 How do you sit down and talk about it?
08:54 Or, do you even sit down and talk about it?
08:56 Actually, I mean, it sounds cliche, right?
09:01 Like, you say, "My answer is very common."
09:04 But, it all boils down to talking.
09:06 It's really about communication.
09:08 Right?
09:09 Like, what happened?
09:10 Why are you doing this?
09:12 What can we do to not misinterpret?
09:15 What can we do to avoid it?
09:17 I mean, Mark, as a basketball player,
09:21 he's not a celebrity,
09:22 but in a way, they also know that
09:23 players are also semi-celebrity factors.
09:27 They know that.
09:28 They're really celebrities.
09:29 They're really celebrities.
09:30 Yes.
09:31 I just noticed that they're not used to it,
09:35 like us.
09:36 Like, Jode, they're like, "Oh, my God."
09:40 It's like, for example, if someone gets bashed,
09:44 let's say, one of them,
09:45 like, me, or Akatim,
09:49 I just noticed that they're not used to it.
09:55 Although, yeah.
09:55 Yeah.
09:56 It's really about communication.
10:00 Like, when we talk about what happened,
10:04 when it's a small thing,
10:05 we just laugh about it.
10:07 Sometimes, we do our own inside jokes.
10:12 But when it's not a good thing to say,
10:16 and especially when it's a lie,
10:21 or when you're using it,
10:26 I really talk.
10:28 I'm the one who's more vocal than the two of us.
10:30 Because I know how it works.
10:32 I grew up in the industry.
10:35 So, even if you say that I haven't been active for a long time,
10:39 imagine, I was just born.
10:41 I already know how it works.
10:43 Right?
10:43 So, you're used to it.
10:45 After a tender age, you already know what's intriguing.
10:48 I told you, I heard a lot of things.
10:52 I was told by my mom, my dad,
10:54 anyone, my siblings, whatever,
10:58 my uncles, and so on.
10:59 We still get hurt sometimes.
11:03 Of course, we're just humans.
11:04 But in a way, we're used to it.
11:06 Because we know what we got ourselves into.
11:08 That's how it is with Mark.
11:11 I'm the one who's more vocal.
11:12 I'm the one who tells him,
11:14 for example,
11:17 "Oh, this thing,
11:18 you should expect it.
11:21 It will get bigger."
11:23 I'm the one who's more like that.
11:24 I'm the one who warns.
11:26 And I'm the one who's more
11:28 able to point out things like that.
11:30 Like, "Oh, this might cause an issue."
11:34 Or whatever.
11:34 I just talk to him.
11:37 We listen to each other.
11:40 We talk.
11:41 But was there a time or was there an issue
11:44 that really affected you?
11:47 That was really below the belt?
11:49 There was nothing really
11:52 that was below the belt.
11:53 Maybe the last issue,
11:57 the one that was like cheating.
11:59 The thing that really got me there was
12:04 it was like,
12:04 it was funny.
12:07 Because
12:08 they really--
12:11 It's great when people tell stories.
12:13 I'll give an example.
12:17 I said I don't want to talk about it anymore
12:19 because we really want to move on from it.
12:22 Yes.
12:23 But to have clarity.
12:25 I posted something on my IG stories,
12:28 I remember,
12:28 about betrayal and loyalty.
12:32 Sometimes, Nelson, I post because I like the quote.
12:35 Or sometimes--
12:37 At that time, I admit,
12:39 it was a feeling that I was feeling about someone else.
12:42 I was feeling like I was being cheated by someone.
12:46 And that is a person who cheated us in the business.
12:49 A person we truly trusted.
12:52 So when this was happening,
12:54 even we were going through something major in our business.
13:00 Even until now, we were still there.
13:02 We were close to the end of the tunnel.
13:05 So people were so--
13:09 Like this tabloid,
13:13 what they did was they took my quote,
13:16 they said,
13:18 "I'm confirming the issue."
13:21 Because Mark was being cheated.
13:23 But I didn't talk about it anymore.
13:25 And to be honest,
13:29 that's what he was saying,
13:30 that's where Mark and I talked.
13:32 He said,
13:32 "Maybe if it's a quote like that,
13:36 and we know we misinterpreted it,
13:38 let's not post it."
13:39 Something like that.
13:39 I said, "I'm posting a Bible verse,
13:43 what's that?
13:43 They'll think it's right."
13:45 Something like that.
13:46 So that's where our communication came in.
13:49 We talked.
13:50 And then, on my side,
13:53 I was just telling him,
13:54 "Be careful with your partners.
13:58 Be careful with your visitors.
14:00 Sometimes, it's just you,
14:02 you're too friendly.
14:04 Or not friendly, accommodating."
14:06 Right?
14:06 Like, "Oh, he's a cheater."
14:08 That's how basketball players are.
14:10 And I've met Mark.
14:12 He's a gentle soul, right?
14:14 Like, "No one's been bad to you."
14:16 Correct.
14:16 Like that.
14:17 And that's what people do.
14:20 They make holes.
14:21 When they stick, they stick.
14:25 So I feel like the whole thing was,
14:28 misinterpreted,
14:29 given wrong,
14:30 given a color.
14:31 Honestly, I won't be affected.
14:34 To be honest, I told you,
14:36 I grew up in the industry.
14:38 I'm used to that.
14:39 Hello, they have a lot of
14:41 gossip before,
14:42 about my dad,
14:44 that he has a son like this.
14:45 That, "Oh my gosh, who is he?"
14:47 Then, they said, "What's this?"
14:50 So I said, "We're used to that."
14:52 But, of course, I was shocked.
14:55 When your son is being hit.
14:58 Right?
14:59 Someone will say something bad,
15:01 that's very, very foul.
15:02 Like,
15:04 I think the foul there is like,
15:09 someone said,
15:11 "It's the karma of my parents."
15:14 That's how it is.
15:16 That's not fair.
15:16 Right?
15:18 It's rude, right?
15:19 Like, "Oh yeah, because of the
15:21 fault of the parents, that's why..."
15:24 That's how it is.
15:25 I want to say,
15:26 first of all,
15:27 that statement is wrong.
15:28 And second,
15:30 you don't know the whole story.
15:32 You just speculated,
15:33 and you don't know what's true and what's not.
15:35 So, but you know what?
15:37 No, we didn't ask.
15:39 We just talked,
15:41 we're husband and wife.
15:41 And,
15:43 we just moved on from it.
15:46 And that's how it is.
15:47 But, anyway,
15:48 this is the first time that
15:49 I clarified about a certain post that,
15:54 "Wow, that's so low."
15:55 It's just an IG story post
15:57 that people misinterpreted.
15:59 But how do you shield the kids from it?
16:02 Like,
16:03 because, of course,
16:04 like your teenager,
16:07 he's already holding a gadget.
16:08 Yes, yes.
16:10 He's already reading it.
16:11 Honestly,
16:12 like,
16:13 we sat them down,
16:17 the two older kids.
16:18 Two older kids,
16:21 we sat them down,
16:22 we told them that,
16:24 you know,
16:25 it's not your fault that
16:27 you were born in this family.
16:30 I told them,
16:32 "Mom is just a family,
16:33 politicians,
16:35 actors, actresses,
16:38 and then,
16:40 dad was also a former basketball player."
16:43 So, obviously,
16:45 we were exposed to everything.
16:47 So, we just told them that,
16:48 social media is fun,
16:51 we get to communicate with the people we love,
16:53 we learn a lot through social media,
16:56 but at the same time,
16:57 be mindful of the things that you read,
16:59 and the things that you see,
17:01 and what you put in your mind.
17:02 At the end of the day,
17:03 what's important is that we know the truth as a family.
17:07 And then,
17:08 I'm the one who can relate the most, Nelson,
17:10 because I grew up
17:12 with how they were like me.
17:14 Right?
17:14 Yeah.
17:15 Ex-co-actors and stuff.
17:17 Like,
17:18 I know that feeling of
17:22 being judged,
17:23 or being judged,
17:25 or when you're being praised.
17:27 But those are just two things.
17:29 They like the truth,
17:29 they hate you.
17:30 That's how it is.
17:31 So, I just explained that
17:32 not everybody will like you,
17:34 some people will be there to cheer for you,
17:36 to support you,
17:37 but some people will
17:38 do everything to bash you,
17:41 or to put you down.
17:42 So, as much as
17:43 a lot of people want mom and--
17:46 Right?
17:47 You have fans, for example,
17:49 who really want us to stay together.
17:51 There are also a lot of people
17:52 who want to see us apart,
17:53 or who want to break our family apart.
17:56 Like,
17:57 we're just prayers.
17:59 We pray,
18:00 and
18:00 we talk.
18:03 We pray, we talk, and
18:04 that's it.
18:07 We really need to be transparent
18:09 with each other.
18:10 So, when they see us,
18:12 of course,
18:13 sometimes,
18:14 it's bad,
18:15 it hurts, right?
18:16 Yes.
18:17 That's what's scary.
18:20 But then again,
18:22 it's okay.
18:23 Because actually,
18:25 they can't really avoid that.
18:27 Because I also thought,
18:28 even if
18:30 we don't have an issue or whatever,
18:32 or we don't have something,
18:35 digital age,
18:36 you have social media,
18:37 you have Instagram,
18:39 you have FB,
18:40 you should be ready.
18:41 You should be ready for whatever's there.
18:43 You should be ready for--
18:44 Sometimes, it's good to have a talk.
18:46 So, we had that talk.
18:47 It was like, in general,
18:49 we also talked to them
18:50 that you should be ready.
18:52 Right?
18:53 Even if there's no intrigue at all,
18:54 out of the blue,
18:55 suddenly, someone will create.
18:56 You know, it's like you just got tripped up.
18:59 Or, of course,
19:00 that's what's saddening now in the internet age.
19:04 It's like,
19:05 they're waiting for clicks.
19:08 They're waiting for
19:09 your engagement.
19:12 Yes.
19:12 You know, that's also--
19:13 At the expense of others.
19:14 That's also what's scary.
19:17 That--
19:18 I was surprised that there's--
19:20 that, wow,
19:21 there's a lot of people like that.
19:22 That--
19:23 You know those YouTube channels that--
19:26 What they do is--
19:28 They'll get--
19:29 Because I saw that.
19:30 It's like,
19:31 they'll get a picture of a person
19:33 who's crying,
19:35 and then, they'll stick something.
19:36 And then, that--
19:37 Clickbait.
19:39 Clickbait.
19:40 So, I always tell people
19:43 who aren't used to it,
19:44 or those I know,
19:47 what you see in social media
19:50 is just partial truth.
19:51 Even if we post something,
19:54 never ever compare
19:55 your life to someone else online.
19:59 Because that's not the real story.
20:01 And before you're judged,
20:05 or before you're--
20:07 It's the same.
20:07 Before you're judged,
20:08 or before you're judged,
20:10 chill out first.
20:12 Because you don't know the whole truth.
20:16 And on those sites,
20:18 you do a lot of things.
20:21 Not just me,
20:25 I saw this.
20:25 They did this to my family.
20:27 My sister-in-law
20:28 went to Cebu to visit her sister.
20:32 They immediately created an issue.
20:34 And then,
20:36 there's clickbait.
20:37 And then,
20:38 it's not like before.
20:41 The way you deliver news
20:47 is you say,
20:48 "We haven't gotten the news yet."
20:52 "We haven't gotten the news yet."
20:53 Yes.
20:54 At least we're trying to get the news.
20:56 Or, for example,
20:57 allegedly,
20:59 things like that.
21:00 Because you're not sure.
21:01 But,
21:02 when they report it,
21:04 you think they're close to the person.
21:06 I think
21:06 that was also the reason why
21:08 Bea demanded
21:12 on her YouTube channel,
21:16 to include her personality.
21:17 I mean,
21:18 if there's a channel like that.
21:21 Because I saw that they did that to my parents.
21:24 And then,
21:27 you think it's true.
21:29 They fought.
21:30 And then,
21:31 it's like,
21:33 wow.
21:34 The one we're talking about now,
21:36 this is Christine, right?
21:38 This is Christine Hermosa.
21:39 She went to Cebu.
21:40 Yes, and it's like that.
21:41 But, you know,
21:42 it's okay.
21:43 But, wait, Danica.
21:45 What's sad is that
21:47 they have so many likes.
21:48 They have so many views.
21:51 Sometimes,
21:52 there are more views than the actual news.
21:54 Actually,
21:56 Mark,
21:58 I saw him before,
21:59 they got his photos
22:01 where he was crying in an interview.
22:03 Because he was crying in an interview.
22:06 Mark is crazy.
22:07 If you watch his stories,
22:09 for example, when you talk about
22:10 mom, whatever,
22:13 or what he went through.
22:14 He made a site,
22:16 he took his photos,
22:20 and then he took a picture,
22:22 for example,
22:23 of him and a girl,
22:25 who he hugged.
22:26 And then, for example,
22:28 "Sorry."
22:28 Things like that.
22:29 It's crazy.
22:30 It's funny.
22:31 It's funny and irritating.
22:34 But, did you think about the time
22:35 when you'll also demand?
22:36 I didn't think about it.
22:38 But,
22:39 maybe,
22:41 when,
22:42 you know,
22:43 when you say,
22:44 "It's below the belt,"
22:45 and,
22:46 for example,
22:49 what do you call it, Nelson?
22:53 When,
22:53 the integrity is affected.
22:56 At the same time,
22:57 we also need to,
23:00 maybe, we'll just choose.
23:02 We can't be
23:03 "Kada Bato."
23:04 We'll demand.
23:05 Because,
23:06 the negative bashers won't be gone.
23:10 We should also be tough.
23:13 We should fight.
23:14 We shouldn't be detached from reality.
23:28 Okay, let's talk about you
23:32 being a daughter of Vic Soto
23:35 and Dina Bonavie.
23:36 Wow.
23:38 You know what I'm thinking?
23:41 These are two famous parents.
23:43 Was it hard for you when you're growing up?
23:46 Or, was it easy for you?
23:48 Were you privileged when you were growing up?
23:51 You know, it's the same.
23:53 Privileged.
23:54 Because, there are a lot of people
23:57 who are fans or idols of your parents.
23:59 Or, they're fans.
24:00 Of course,
24:01 they're also happy for you.
24:04 That's how it is.
24:05 At the same time,
24:05 maybe, the tough part,
24:08 I wouldn't say super tough.
24:10 Just a little.
24:11 You're always getting compared to your parents.
24:13 You should be good to them.
24:16 You should be rich.
24:18 You should be smart.
24:19 You should be beautiful.
24:20 I remember growing up,
24:22 I always compare myself to my mom.
24:23 And, I hear people say,
24:27 "Poor thing, her mom isn't beautiful."
24:30 Stuff like that.
24:31 And, it's like...
24:31 There you go.
24:33 That's the proof.
24:34 It's like a carbon copy of Miss D.
24:37 You can't go up on an awkward stage.
24:39 But, at that time,
24:42 I promise,
24:43 I wasn't sad or insecure.
24:47 Every time, I would compliment my mom,
24:50 especially during her prime,
24:52 even my high school friends,
24:54 she was the crush.
24:56 Because,
24:58 "Mom, you know what? I'm not..."
25:00 It's annoying.
25:02 I was even proud.
25:03 Oh, my.
25:04 That's how it is.
25:05 So, never...
25:07 It got to you,
25:10 what people are saying.
25:12 The separation,
25:14 or private moments,
25:18 or affairs of your family.
25:20 Of course, it becomes an open book to the public.
25:23 So, that's the tough part.
25:25 It's like,
25:26 you feel like you're going to school,
25:28 and you're just looking at people.
25:29 Because, there's a new rumor about your parents.
25:32 That's probably the tough part.
25:34 But, you know,
25:36 I'm so blessed that,
25:38 maybe it was God's doing,
25:41 that I was given good friends,
25:44 who made me feel that they love me for who I am.
25:50 And, at the same time,
25:52 even though mom and dad separated,
25:56 I felt their love for each other.
26:00 For us, for Oyo.
26:03 It helped you not to think about the outside forces
26:07 that are there,
26:08 that are confusing you,
26:09 the naysayers, and so on.
26:11 I also know this,
26:12 and I read it in the research,
26:13 that you're the binding force of your siblings.
26:18 You're the one who binds everything.
26:21 And, you're like the mother
26:23 of all of your siblings.
26:25 Well, I don't want to take all the credit.
26:29 Maybe, I feel like it was just a coincidence,
26:32 because I'm the eldest.
26:33 So, dad wasn't married yet.
26:36 Of course, I was the one who would tell dad,
26:38 that, "Oh, Danica, tell your siblings
26:43 that it's my birthday,
26:44 or we're having a dinner."
26:46 And, I would also make it a point to
26:48 reach out to them, too.
26:51 I wouldn't make them feel like,
26:56 "Make off," or anything like that.
27:00 As much as possible,
27:01 that it's okay to feel that way.
27:06 Mainly, maybe, because I'm the eldest.
27:09 I think it's my job.
27:12 And, at the same time,
27:14 I love them so much.
27:16 But, that's why I told Nelson,
27:18 I don't like to take the credit,
27:20 because I also want to acknowledge
27:22 Pauline's effort.
27:26 When she married my dad,
27:28 she really stepped up,
27:30 and I saw her.
27:33 Sometimes, she would say,
27:37 "Okay, let's have dinner.
27:39 Dinner at your dad's place.
27:40 Let's celebrate Oyo's birthday.
27:42 Let's do this."
27:43 Even if they already have kids,
27:45 Baby Tia, Mochi, and Tally,
27:48 she still makes it a point to plan dinners
27:52 with the bigger or the older siblings.
27:56 And, that's why I said,
27:57 I don't want to take the credit.
27:58 I feel that my dad's job
28:04 is what I expected.
28:06 But, you started it.
28:18 And, I'm very happy
28:18 with the relationship I see
28:22 with your siblings.
28:23 It's really proud.
28:26 Because, this happens
28:29 even in an ordinary family.
28:30 Yeah.
28:33 Of course, we are not a perfect family.
28:35 But, it's like,
28:38 you're there where it's okay.
28:41 Because, like they say,
28:42 a lot of things happen in the world,
28:46 but we're better off.
28:48 It's just a coincidence.
28:51 How's your mom and Pauline?
28:56 Of course, your mom has a different family.
28:58 And, of course, Pauline.
28:59 Well, they're not the close ones.
29:02 They're not the ones who are like,
29:03 "Hey, let's talk."
29:05 Yeah.
29:05 But, they're like,
29:09 they're single.
29:11 But, they're okay.
29:12 That's good.
29:12 They don't fight or anything.
29:14 I remember last,
29:17 this is just,
29:18 the day after Mother's Day,
29:19 my mom told me that
29:21 she texted my dad
29:22 and she said,
29:24 "Greet Pauline for me."
29:26 And, also, Pauline would do that.
29:29 Sometimes, she'll say,
29:30 "Pakisabi kay Mama Dee."
29:32 Kanyan.
29:33 That's cute.
29:36 That is cute.
29:37 That is cute.
29:37 Kasi pamalitawin ng mga apo.
29:38 Oo.
29:39 Actually, even Daddy.
29:41 Alam niya Mama Dee.
29:42 Sa nakikita ko,
29:44 ikaw as a friend,
29:46 kasi matiba yung,
29:47 matiba yung friendships mo with people.
29:50 In fact,
29:51 yung grupo that you belong to,
29:55 si Lacheska,
29:56 I mean,
29:56 you've been friends for a long, long time.
29:59 And, I'm blessed, actually, to have them.
30:01 Sobrang support through Take and Ten.
30:04 Kasi wala naman talagang perfect na tao, eh.
30:07 Wala mo asawa, perfect na nanay,
30:10 perfect na anak.
30:11 So, ang na-appreciate ko sa mga friends
30:14 na nakapaligid sa akin,
30:16 di nila siya sugarcoat.
30:18 Sabihin talaga nila,
30:19 "Uy, parang medyo ma-pride ka dito.
30:21 Maliyan."
30:22 Kanyan.
30:23 So, ganun din sila sayo.
30:24 Like, they're also outspoken.
30:25 Hindi, ganun sila sa akin.
30:27 Sasabihin talaga nila.
30:28 Parang, "Ano ba yan?
30:30 Huwag kang ma-stress sa mga ganyan."
30:33 Yung parang sasabihin nila.
30:35 Hindi yung,
30:36 they won't say what you want to hear.
30:39 They'll say kung saan ka mapapabuti.
30:41 In fact, alam mo,
30:43 I'm sorry, I babalik ko lang.
30:45 Kasi, di ba, I mean,
30:46 nakita ko yung post na yun, eh.
30:48 And, the first one to have defended you
30:53 as a couple is yung friend mo.
30:54 At ikaw pa yung pumipigil sa kanya na parang,
30:56 "Huwag mo nang pansinin.
30:59 Huwag mo nang patulan."
31:00 Kasi nga parang, lalaki pa.
31:03 And, sabi ko nga,
31:08 that's a testament of you being a real friend.
31:10 Sinong pinaka-close mo samang friends mo?
31:12 Alam mo, parang,
31:14 I'm still close kasi to my high school friends.
31:18 Yung mga high school best friends ko.
31:19 Yung core group mo?
31:21 High school core group.
31:23 Meron din ako mga friends who are non-showbiz.
31:27 Tapos yung mga nabangit mo nga,
31:28 who are also in showbiz.
31:30 Yan. Yung mga nakikita mo,
31:32 sila-sila parin yun.
31:33 Sila parin.
31:34 Mm. Ang tatagal yun ng magkakaibigan, no?
31:37 Ano ba 'to?
31:37 Nagtitita moment na ba kayo?
31:40 O nagpa-party parin kayo?
31:42 Alam mo, more maraming tita moment.
31:45 Kasi ang daming,
31:46 ang daming act of beauty sa mga bata.
31:49 So parang,
31:50 turn na nung mga kids namin,
31:51 yung anak ko nagpapaalam na,
31:52 lumalabas-labas na.
31:54 So natunong kami,
31:55 "But, uy uy, ang-ang-ang labas namin more,
31:59 ano eh, sa bahay."
32:00 Yung ganun.
32:02 Yung may magbe-prepare.
32:03 Kape-kape, dinner-dinner na lang sa bahay.
32:06 Misan bawain one, ganun.
32:08 At tagal namin, actually di lumabas.
32:12 Kung meron man mga ones yun na blue moon,
32:13 misan lalabas kami yung talagang
32:15 girls' night out.
32:16 May mga ganun naman.
32:18 Pero yan na bilang. Bilang na bilang.
32:21 Q: Plan ka ba to join into politics?
32:23 Knowing that your brother is also into politics.
32:27 And karamihan ng kamag-anak mo nasa politics?
32:30 A: Hindi siguro.
32:33 Q: Si Mark?
32:34 A: Well, ang daming nag-invite sa kanya,
32:38 honestly nung nag-retire siya.
32:40 Ang daming nag-invite sa kanya especially sa province.
32:43 Yung iba naman gusto siya kuning sports director
32:46 ng mga province, ng certain region.
32:50 Pero sabi ko mag-aralan muna ng mabuti.
32:57 At saka, what do you call this?
33:01 Parang pagdasal.
33:03 Q: May clarity pagnagdasal.
33:06 Teka muna, ang mga anak mo ba papapasukin mo sa showbiz?
33:10 A: Kung gusto nila.
33:12 Hindi ko sila pipigil yan.
33:13 Q: May nagbibigay na ba ng hint?
33:15 A: Ngayon pariyong silang sports.
33:20 Q: Naku, ang dugu mo.
33:24 A: Tapos tatangkad pa.
33:27 My daughter is into volleyball.
33:31 Tapos siya na sa amin obviously basketball.
33:34 Hindi namin pinilit.
33:36 Same din kami ni Mark, hindi namin pinilit yung son namin.
33:39 We would expose them to different sports.
33:42 Swimming, volleyball, gymnastics.
33:45 It was our son who actually spoke to us and said,
33:49 "I need your support. I want to do this."
33:52 So sabi ni Mark, "Gusto mo yan?
33:56 Kailangan disiplinado ka. Tutulungan kita kung all-in ka.
34:00 Pero pag hindi, sabihin mo na para hindi tayong mong lalap."
34:05 Q: Isang tanong mo.
34:10 Tanika, I will end this by turning the tables around.
34:14 Ikaw naman ang magtatanong sa akin.
34:16 Isang tanong, I know this is going to be difficult for me to answer
34:20 knowing na isa kang host.
34:23 Nag-host ka ng show and you know huwag mo nanghirapan.
34:30 Sige, magtatanong siya.
34:32 Q: Okay Nelson, dinami-dami ng interview mo,
34:37 ka nino ka pinakahirapan?
34:39 Naihirapan ako dun sa mga taong hindi nagsasabi ng totoo.
34:45 Kasi makulit ako eh, lalo na pag nararamdaman ko hindi nagsasabi ng totoo
34:51 or alam ko hindi totoo yung sinasabi niya knowing na
34:54 siyempre diba before you do an interview marami kang research.
34:57 So yun, isa yun, isa yun sa ikinakahirap ko.
35:00 Kasi hindi mo naman pwedeng atakihin yung tanong ng ganun lang eh.
35:05 Dapat may respeto ka parin magtanong
35:07 kahit nasabihin mo hindi tama yung sinasabi ng tao.
35:10 So yun yung pinaka-challenging for me.
35:14 Pero so far, bibihira.
35:17 Bilang ko lang sa mga daliri ko kung ilan lang talaga yung mga ganung tao.
35:21 Naihirapan.
35:23 Basta ako, yung love ko for bossing nag-trickle down sa inyong mga anak
35:29 and nakakatua na nakita ko kayo na ganyan.
35:34 And you live good lives and you're good parents to your ano.
35:39 Kasi parang sabi ko nga sa'yo, diba nakita kita as a kid
35:44 and now a mom of three, I cannot believe.
35:48 [Laughs]
35:50 Ang gilis na panahon.
35:52 I hope to see you very soon in person.
35:54 Yes, yes, yes.
35:56 Danica, thank you very much for opening up your life.
36:00 Sa ilang minuto pag-uusap natin, naramdaman ko parang sabi ko parang namiss kita bigla.
36:08 Thank you so much also.
36:10 Thank you.
36:12 Thank you very much, Danica.
36:14 See you around. Bye!
36:16 See you!
36:18 [Music]
