00:00If I'm not mistaken, Luis, your name is also loud. You're in the quarantine.

00:10You know, maybe three admins ago, I was already being waited for.

00:15It's funny in a sense that when it's filing, or the last day of filing,

00:21someone messaged me,

00:23We're here now, what time are you coming?

00:25Huh? Why? What's the matter?

00:27You're here, right? You're going to file, right?

00:29Huh? What's the matter? I'm just wearing sandals. I'm wearing shorts.

00:32So they're waiting for me to file a candidacy for whatever position.

00:36And it doesn't disappear every election.

00:39And even up to now.

00:40I've answered this before.

00:42And I will answer it again, redundant, but it's my heartfelt answer.

00:47All of us have an obligation to serve.

00:50In what capacity depends on what God has given us.

00:54It depends on the cards dealt.

00:56Did I ever say no to politics before?

00:59I said, not yet.

01:00Not yet.

01:01So they won't be surprised if I call for public service this coming year.

01:07They won't be surprised if I focus on the showbiz this coming year.

01:10In other words, the filing for candidacy is still in October.

01:13So you're still open?

01:15Yes, I'm very much open to politics.

01:17But what I want, because we think too much about politics,

01:22if I do run, it has to be about public service.

01:26So far, what are the offers you've received?

01:29Like in what position?

01:31A lot.

01:32I've talked to a lot of people.

01:35I swear, the people I've entertained before,

01:38they greeted me like,

01:40where did that greeting come from?

01:42Whatever position.

01:43And I guess, I'll take it as a compliment.

01:46The trust you give to other people.

01:49Because this is not a TV stream.

01:51This is not a game show.

01:52This is real life.

01:53When you say that you're asking for a vote,

01:56a person can give you a vote.

01:58That's their livelihood.

01:59That's their education.

02:01That's their health.

02:02So it means that the person trusts you.

02:05So I'll take it as a compliment.

02:07It's surprising, but it's a compliment.

02:09Last question, Luis.

02:11Just your reaction.

02:13I hope my posts on social media won't be resumed.

02:16Because later, when I run,

02:18I'll think that I'm about to run,

02:20that my head hurts,

02:21and I'm already wearing a wheelchair.

02:23And my eyes hurt,

02:24and I'm already pregnant.

02:25Maybe we'll be scared to go there.

02:28You'll get a check-up,

02:29and next to you, you'll be pregnant.

02:30They want it to be quick, sir.

02:34I hope my posts won't be resumed.

02:36But some people are serious about this.

02:39They really want to run.

02:40Thank you.

02:41Thank you very much.

02:42Like what I said,

02:43think about it.

02:44The person you're asking for a vote,

02:46can give it to you.

02:47They're willing to shade your name.

02:49That speaks volumes to their trust in you.

02:52And when you do that,

02:54when you ask for a vote from them,

02:56and they give it to you,

02:57make sure that you'll really serve the public.

03:00But did you open that to the public?

03:02To be fair,

03:03since Mommy's first run,

03:05up to now that we're talking,

03:07when we're there,

03:08we don't talk about politics.

03:10We talk about politics with what's happening.

03:12But in terms of what's going to happen,

03:14if I'm going to run,

03:15if I'm going to run,

03:16I'm not going to run.

03:17Really.

03:18I think politics takes a backseat to our family.

03:22When we're together.

03:23Esha,

03:24because there are also talks

03:25that you're going to run again as governor of Batangas.

03:28Is it okay for you to run again?

03:30We saw how progressive the first run was.

03:33We saw how the run was changed

03:36when Mommy became mayor.

03:38How Batangas was changed

03:39when she became governor.

03:41Even when she became the fumblest woman of the run.

03:44So, Mommy was the one who served her.

03:46Like I said before,

03:48when Mommy or Tito Ralph run,

03:50politics takes a backseat to public service.

03:53And I think that's what it's about.

03:54That's why people miss that Mommy is there

03:56because they can feel the true service

03:59of Mommy in Batangas.

04:01If your younger brother does that,

04:03you'll be in trouble.

04:04They say.

04:05Right?

04:06Ryan said that.

04:08Ryan, because for the longest time,

04:10we haven't been able to talk about politics.

04:13He's iffy about politics.

04:15But now that Ryan is running in Batangas,

04:17I can see that there's a spark in him.

04:20When he saw the Batangenos,

04:23when he saw how the Batangenos changed,

04:26because Mommy and Tito Ralph,

04:28and what else can be done for the Batangenos,

04:31for the Filipinos,

04:32so that I can see something in Ryan

04:34that I haven't seen before.

04:36That's it.

04:37That's it.

04:38Last but not least,

04:39congratulations to the National Artist nomination.

04:41We have it.

04:42Same thing.

04:43It was pushed before.

04:44I would like to thank all those people

04:46that had the initiative to make Mommy a National Artist.

04:49Mommy, as you know,

04:51is happy with any kind of recognition.

04:54And if the time is right

04:56to make Mommy a National Artist,

04:58congratulations.

04:59And I believe that we can reach that point.

05:03Thank you, Luis.

05:04Thank you.
