00:00But off-cam and on-cam, this friendship, is there a difference or it's really just one
00:11of the same?
00:12I think it's pretty much the same.
00:13The only difference is Camille makes it a point that she doesn't call me Ate when we're
00:19on TV.
00:20She calls me Mars.
00:21She's so good because I don't remember a time when you slipped and you called me Ate.
00:27She can do it but as soon as we're off-cam, she really calls me Ate.
00:32That's the actor.
00:33That's the actor in her.
00:36It doesn't disappear.
00:38You stick to the script insofar as the brand is concerned.
00:43Yes.
00:44Because you're used to it, right?
00:45Yes, we're used to it.
00:46Because if it's like that, Pak, Ate, can I talk to you?
00:50It's like when the stage goes down.
00:52Ate, Ate.
00:53You know, there is this concept.
00:54I don't know.
00:56Somebody read it.
00:57One of our writers is saying that when women get into marriage and eventually have children,
01:05the circle of friends shrinks.
01:07I had a different notion about it.
01:10I thought it would grow bigger.
01:12What is your take?
01:15I think it's smaller, definitely.
01:17Because there are a lot of time constraints.
01:20Preference also.
01:21Am I willing to take 3 or 4 hours of my day and spend it with this person or this group of people?
01:28Or I'll just stay at home?
01:29Agreed.
01:30Sometimes, I'm just happy to be at home.
01:32I have a good family.
01:33So, it's better to stay at home.
01:35Yes.
01:36Sometimes, you'll just look for low-maintenance type of friendships.
01:41Even if you don't see each other for a long time.
01:45Because, of course, it depends on the season of your life.
01:47What you're doing.
01:50For me, I have young children.
01:51I'm homeschooling them.
01:52A part of that, I'm also working on the side.
01:55So, the time with friends is what I need to look for.
02:00If you have a lot of friends, you need to maintain the circle.
02:05You have to meet them every so often.
02:07But, I appreciate friendships that are low-maintenance.
02:10A video call is enough.
02:13I remember during the pandemic, we would do a lot of video calls.
02:16We would be cooking and talking at the same time.
02:19And, I appreciate those friendships.
02:20Because, your friendship is still intact.
02:22Even if you don't see each other often.
02:24That's a different level.
02:25You know, there was a time, some decades ago.
02:28Chris and I, we would talk about the kinds of friends we have.
02:33There are friends who are with us in the church.
02:36There are friends who are with us in the industry.
02:39There are friends who can be with us in all circles.
02:41There are friends who, for example, fashion.
02:44They are segmented because of the various interests.
02:48But, they are all friends.
02:51But, when you become a mother, the dynamics are different.
02:54You have a child, a child, and a wife.
02:56Especially when the kids are small.
02:57That's true.
02:58Because, our kids are now grown up.
03:00They have their own business.
03:01They can go around on their own without me and Paolo.
03:04I have more time.
03:06So, Camille and Ia, sometimes it's the three of us who would go out.
03:12I would ask you, the kids.
03:14Tell me when you can go out because I'm the fastest.
