00:00Good morning!
00:02Now, our show is exciting.
00:04It's back to the 60s and earlier.
00:06Jelly is dancing.
00:07We're back to Sampaguita Pictures.
00:08And I brought my shoes because she's going to accompany us to Sampaguita Studios.
00:12Let's go!
00:15There!
00:16Where are we?
00:17We're in the garden of Sampaguita.
00:19Correct.
00:20In this garden, all the parties of the Vera Perez family are held.
00:24And?
00:26Here in this location,
00:28if you want to have a garden,
00:30if they need a field,
00:32if they need a church,
00:37if they need a mansion garden,
00:40You know, I've shot inside the chapel several times.
00:44But until now, we're still using Sampaguita in our movies.
00:49Correct.
00:50We've been using it forever.
00:52I don't know what you're going to show me.
00:54Let's go somewhere else.
00:56We're still in Sampaguita.
00:57Correct.
00:58We're still going to Mamasan.
00:59We're still here.
01:00Let's go.
01:01Let's go there.
01:05Yes, we're here at the dubbing studio.
01:08Here, we're dubbing the sound, dialogue,
01:11music in the movies,
01:13the theme songs that will be played here,
01:15and the background music that will make you cry.
01:18SFX sound.
01:20There.
01:21And just a trivia, Jelly.
01:23Did you know that the Philippines is one of the biggest film industries in Asia?
01:30You see, we should be proud of it.
01:32That's why we support Filipino movies.
01:34Let's not watch pirated CDs.
01:36I mean, VCDs.
01:40That's why we're here today with the Sampaguita stars of the past.
01:46And all of that is here at SIP.
01:50Welcome back to SIP.
01:52Let's start our conversation.
01:54We're here with the shining stars of Sampaguita Pictures.
01:59Belia Flores.
02:01Lito Legaski.
02:03Ricky Belmonte.
02:06Herman Moreno.
02:08Luis Gonzalez.
02:10Hello.
02:11Hello.
02:12Good morning.
02:13How are you all?
02:16We're good.
02:17Good.
02:18I mean, how are you all right now?
02:21It's been a long time since you made a movie in Sampaguita, right?
02:26Well, if we're talking about Sampaguita, we really don't make movies anymore.
02:31But how are you?
02:33How's your life after Sampaguita?
02:35We still make movies.
02:36We don't just make movies.
02:37Even television.
02:39Actually, all of you are still active, right?
02:41Yes.
02:42How do people react when they see you?
02:45When you're walking in the mall, they recognize you.
02:48Especially the older ones who say,
02:51I watched you in a movie like this.
02:54You know, I was so happy that I grew up in that movie.
02:57What's your reaction?
02:59My reaction is,
03:01I'm thankful that they still see me as a person.
03:07I'm happy that they still recognize me.
03:12Sometimes, when they remind you of a movie,
03:15you feel like it's been a long time since you made a movie.
03:19Maybe it's not because of the number of movies.
03:21Really?
03:22Maybe it's because of the number of old movies.
03:24Actually, when people say,
03:26I watched you in Keibola.
03:28Your old movie.
03:29You're still thin there.
03:30Yes, that's right.
03:31I'll say, of course,
03:33that was only in the 60s.
03:35It's not that long ago.
03:37How long ago was that?
03:38Do you remember everything you did?
03:41I don't remember a lot of things.
03:43But once you see me,
03:45You're like Juanita Banana.
03:47We have Juanita Banana, right?
03:49I was with her, Tita Bella.
03:51You were with her, right?
03:52I did that too.
