00:00Hi everyone and welcome to a new episode of Surprise Guest with P.R. Kanghel
00:06where every episode is a big surprise.
00:10We don't know who we'll be talking to but we expect that every conversation will be one exciting, fun conversation, totally unexpected.
00:20And so for today, just like any other normal episode day, we'll be receiving a set of clues.
00:27And we'll be guessing at the same time.
00:29Okay, first, he's often heard in the morning.
00:32Second clue, we hear a lot about him in the morning.
00:35He's the anchor of Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide and also the anchor of Saksisa Double B.
00:41I already know who this is.
00:42And I'm smiling a lot because I heard his voice earlier.
00:46He's just one word and I already know who he is.
00:49Our surprise guest for today, I'm sure of this, is none other than Joel Reyes Zobel.
00:55Hey, I know where you are!
00:57Surprise!
00:59You know where I am, right?
01:01Yes, I guessed it right away.
01:05I should've just sent you there.
01:07How are you?
01:08I'm good, I'm good. How are you?
01:09Surprise! Is this a surprise?
01:11Because when I heard you, it was like a mic test.
01:13I said, I already know who that is.
01:15Who wouldn't recognize Joel Reyes Zobel's voice, right?
01:19Thank you, thank you.
01:20Even my other partner that I'm with every day, I can't guess right away.
01:24But you, I can guess right away.
01:27That's how unique he is, right?
01:28That's how unique he is.
01:29Yes, that's how unique he is.
01:31Hey, how are you, Joel?
01:33I know that you are very busy and every morning, you have a lot of work.
01:38But thank you for today.
01:39Do you have a little break?
01:40We can talk.
01:41What are you busy with right now?
01:44Nothing.
01:45I'm just taking care of my son.
01:47What I'm busy with right now, after I'm done with my program this morning,
01:50what do I do?
01:51I'm homebody.
01:52I don't go out.
01:53I go straight home.
01:54Wow!
01:55You know, I know that you are a girl daddy.
01:58Very sweet.
01:59I can see your posts.
02:01Do you enjoy being a girl daddy?
02:04Oh, to be honest, on Father's Day, we got married.
02:08I told my wife, it's not like Father's Day.
02:11It's like Daughter's Day.
02:12She's the one who's happy.
02:13I'm the one who's having a hard time.
02:14When we got married.
02:15Do you buy a lot of things?
02:17No, I buy a lot of things.
02:19Then, you know, I have to carry a lot.
02:22I have to.
02:23I have a big arm.
02:24I'm very close to my father.
02:25He's a daddy's girl.
02:27Daddy's girl.
02:28Daddy's little girl forever.
02:30Wow!
02:31How old is he?
02:32Six years old.
02:33He's in coming grade one.
02:34Recently, we bought pants.
02:37Because he's the only daughter.
02:39The only child.
02:40I just realized that it's expensive to send him to school.
02:43We also bought a pad.
02:44We bought a uniform.
02:46I just realized that.
02:47The other day, my parents didn't send us to school.
02:50I just realized that it's expensive to send him to school.
02:53Oh no!
02:54That's just the beginning.
02:55He's still in grade one.
02:56It's true.
02:57I still have a long way to go.
02:59We'll take it in stride.
03:01I'm enjoying it now.
03:03I'm enjoying it because we've been waiting for this for a long time.
03:05When it came, we were all out.
03:07If you say you've been waiting for your baby for a long time.
03:10How many years have you been trying?
03:12We've been married for 14 years.
03:14At that time, we were getting old.
03:16But it didn't come.
03:17We accepted that it's just the two of us.
03:19My wife is Bades.
03:21But when you least expect it, it came.
03:24I had Yeezy, my daughter, when I was 50.
03:28And my wife gave birth to her when she was 44.
03:31So we're a bit old.
03:35You were married for 14 years at the time Bades was born?
03:40Yes.
03:41Oh, okay.
03:42You said it came when you least expected it.
03:44So that means when Yeezy came, you kind of gave up?
03:50Yes, we kind of accepted that it's just the two of us.
03:53But it came.
03:54We actually asked God.
03:56Since then, you know.
03:57I forgot to play golf.
03:59I need to play golf.
04:01Since it came, I've been an intermittent golfer for almost 6 years.
04:05I used to play with Egan.
04:07We're regular golfers.
04:08We have a regular Saturday golf.
04:11But when it came, Egan told me,
04:13When you return to golf, you'll be a senior.
04:16I said, that's okay.
04:17I've been waiting for this for a long time.
04:18What were the challenges in having a baby or having a child later on in life?
04:23Because I was 50 when he died, my back started hurting.
04:27It was hard for me to move.
04:29It's because of your looks, it's not obvious.
04:33This is one of the reasons why I exercise every day.
04:38Of course, I want my life to last.
04:40I want to see him graduate.
04:43I want to see him get married.
04:45Of course, I want to have a grandchild.
04:47By that time, I might be able to have a grandchild.
04:51I'm aiming to have a child.
04:53So that I can reach my goal.
04:54But isn't it hard to realize that you still have a small child?
04:57Oh, it's true.
04:58That's why sometimes it's hard to eat.
05:01Oh, you brought your grandchild.
05:06So that I won't think that you're the grandfather.
05:09No.
05:11Because you're my friend.
05:12When I see a stranger, that's how it is.
05:16Your grandchild is so beautiful.
05:19But that means that you're 6 years old and you're still watching cartoons.
05:24So you know all the Disney characters.
05:26And eventually, when he's a teenager,
05:29at least you know what's popular among kids by that time, right?
05:32That's true.
05:33In my car, it's all Disney songs.
05:37But now, it's evolving.
05:38He wants Taylor Swift.
05:40I'm not familiar with Peppa Pig's dialogues anymore.
05:44It's so childish.
05:45It's like what I'm imagining.
05:46Joel Rizabel, from the radio, from his show on DZW.
05:50When you get in the car,
05:51Disney or Taylor Swift will squeeze you while you're driving.
05:56Why not?
05:57I already know everything.
05:58It's Taylor Swift.
05:59Because every time we're on the radio,
06:00he'll say,
06:01Please play Taylor Swift.
06:03Wow.
06:04So you're already a Swiftie.
06:05Yes.
06:06It's like that.
06:07I'm lucky because Taylor Swift had a concert in Singapore.
06:10Because if he didn't have a concert here,
06:11I'll have to borrow money from you to buy a ticket.
06:14Maybe I'll be the one to borrow money from you.
06:18Okay, what's your favorite Taylor Swift song?
06:21If you're already a fan of his.
06:22When I hear it,
06:24I'll be happy.
06:25I'll sing along.
06:26But I'll just repeat it.
06:27I'll shuffle his iTunes albums.
06:31So that the music will continue.
06:33Sometimes, my son will dance behind me.
06:35I'll say,
06:36Get back to your seat and buckle up.
06:39It's funny.
06:40It's funny that we see and hear your stories as a father.
06:44Because we're used to you being very serious in your comments.
06:48When it comes to DZW, Super Balita sa Umaga.
06:51This is a whole different side of Joel Rizabel.
06:54But of course, when I met you,
06:56you're not just a voice on the radio,
06:58but you're also a voice for 24 hours.
07:00That's very iconic.
07:01That's right.
07:02Can you tell us how you started as a broadcaster?
07:06I used to work as a PSA in the government.
07:10I worked a lot in the Department of Science and Technology.
07:13I was a cameraman there.
07:14I did scriptwriting.
07:15But since I was just a contractual,
07:17maybe after a year and a half of working in the government,
07:21suddenly, I didn't renew my contract.
07:23When I came back, I was working at the same time.
07:26I was the one studying.
07:27One time, my dean at the Lyceum of the Philippines told me,
07:31Do you have an audition for Radio Veritas?
07:34The commercial Radio Veritas.
07:36After the revolution, the 1986 revolution,
07:39Radio Veritas opened as a commercial station.
07:42He said, try it. Maybe you can.
07:45Because the feeling of my dean that day,
07:47I was one of the candidates to be selected.
07:49He told me, audition.
07:50And I auditioned for the commercial CNN Veritas.
07:54Luckily, I was accepted in 1991.
07:57That was the time I started my career in broadcasting.
08:00In other words, I'm celebrating my 33rd year in the industry.
08:03I'm a bit old now.
08:04I'm already accompanied by Egan.
08:06This year, I've been in the industry for 33 years.
08:09What was your college course?
08:11AB Mass Communication.
08:12That day, I dreamed of becoming a newscaster.
08:16I just wanted to read the news.
08:17When I was young, as early as 7 years old,
08:19I already knew what I wanted to do.
08:20I used to watch Jose Mari Pérez.
08:22Jose Mari Pérez, I don't know if you remember him, Kia.
08:25He was one of the anchors of Channel 7.
08:28He has a beautiful voice.
08:29He's very authoritative when it comes to delivering news.
08:32I said, that's what I want to be.
08:33I already dreamed of becoming a newscaster.
08:36And just reading the news.
08:37But later on, my development into a commentator,
08:40I ended up commenting on Asia.
08:42Wow!
08:43So that's how it started.
08:44So, you know, usually, the broadcasters,
08:48some of them, even when they're young, they like it.
08:51But I've also interviewed a lot of them,
08:53and later on, they realized that they want to be a broadcaster.
08:55And I feel like it's more common for women to want to be a broadcaster
08:59than for men.
09:00I think it's because, you know,
09:02when you're on TV, you can hear it on the radio.
09:05Maybe that's one of the driving forces.
09:07That's why a lot of people want to be a commentator.
09:10Yes.
09:11Actually, they don't know how hard it is, right?
09:13It's hard, yes.
09:15It's a big responsibility.
09:17I think that's why it's so popular.
09:19It's not that easy.
09:20One of the things that's very iconic about you is your voice.
09:24Are you still young?
09:25I mean, of course, you're still young.
09:26Your voice isn't that deep yet.
09:28But when did you notice that,
09:29wow, my voice is different?
09:31I was in elementary school.
09:32Elementary school?
09:33That's deep.
09:34Yes, my voice is really loud.
09:36I used to be in the roof,
09:37and my voice is loud from behind.
09:41My teacher,
09:42from behind,
09:43my voice is too manly.
09:45My peers,
09:47they're all big people,
09:48so their voices are loud.
09:49So maybe,
09:50my voice is on the other side.
09:52But, you know,
09:53it doesn't have modulation.
09:54It's really natural.
09:56That's true.
09:57It's really like that.
09:58I don't know.
09:59I told him,
10:00it's good that your voice is loud,
10:01because you're a big person.
10:03You're a big person,
10:04but your voice is small, right?
10:06That's true.
10:07That's hard.
10:09You also mentioned earlier,
10:10Joel,
10:11that Sir Mike directed you to go to the commentary.
10:15What role did he play in your career?
10:17Did he become your mentor from the very beginning?
10:20Oh, yes.
10:21It's true.
10:22One day,
10:23I felt like I was going to retire from Radio Veritas,
10:25because I was on my 10th year.
10:27I said,
10:28I think I'm going to retire here,
10:29maybe in 1999.
10:30What I was looking forward to,
10:31maybe I'll get a big retirement,
10:33because I'm already 10 years old.
10:34One time,
10:35Mike,
10:36I was with him on the beat.
10:37One time,
10:38Mike came to me,
10:39because we were already working together
10:40on the coverage of Sunog.
10:42Mike was already the boss of that network,
10:45but he was still covering Sunog.
10:46So we were working together.
10:47He met me.
10:48That's when we met.
10:49Then one time,
10:50maybe it was on a Thursday,
10:52he called me up.
10:53He said,
10:54Jowel, I need to talk to you.
10:55I need an early newscaster.
10:56Can you come here?
10:58Can you start on Monday?
10:59That's fast.
11:00He called me on Thursday,
11:01and I started on Monday.
11:03I said,
11:04sure, Mike.
11:05I told my wife,
11:06my girlfriend that day,
11:07I told her,
11:08I'm going to consult you.
11:09Actually,
11:10prior to Mike's offer,
11:11I was already paid by TCMM.
11:13I turned it down,
11:14because I really value loyalty.
11:16Because Radio Veritas was just starting that day.
11:18I told Radio Veritas,
11:19I will be here to help you start.
11:21But they didn't give me a break.
11:23I kind of valued loyalty.
11:25That's why it was hard for me to make a decision.
11:27I transferred to DCW.
11:28But eventually,
11:29I came up with a decision to transfer.
11:31And that's it.
11:32Monday to Monday,
11:33I waited for Mike to call me up
11:34on the early newscast
11:35from 4am to 5am.
11:37That's early, right?
11:39Yes, it's early.
11:41How long did you do the 4am to 5am?
11:43Maybe two years.
11:45Then Mike said,
11:46you should transfer to the early afternoon.
11:48I transferred.
11:49We started a program.
11:50The title was Vamana Bayan.
11:52Vamana Bayan!
11:54Vamana Bayan!
11:56That was really my love-love program.
11:59Because it's like a playground.
12:01I can say whatever I want to say.
12:03That's why I'm always with Mike.
12:07Because of him.
12:08Because of his comments.
12:10It's kind of daily.
12:11There were a lot of awards
12:12in that program.
12:13And on my first year,
12:15leading Vamana Bayan,
12:17I was awarded the KBP Content Award.
12:20Mike said,
12:21he's very proud.
12:22Because during the speech,
12:23he was accepting the award.
12:25I said, it's for Mike.
12:27Mike became my mentor.
12:29He's like a father.
12:30My parents died.
12:31He's always there.
12:33Then my son died of COVID
12:35during the time of COVID.
12:36He was there.
12:37He's like a father to me.
12:38It's just that there's not enough bloodshed.
12:40But we fought.
12:41And he often insults me.
12:44He's like a father.
12:46Yes.
12:47And I miss him.
12:48We miss him, actually.
12:49Oh, I can imagine.
12:51Because also,
12:52towards the end of his career,
12:55you two were together, right?
12:57That's true.
12:59And eventually,
13:00his time slot,
13:01that's what Sir Glenn gave me.
13:03Because I was already running out of time.
13:05How does it feel
13:06that you took over
13:08in that time slot?
13:09Oh, it's a big challenge.
13:11It's a big challenge.
13:13Because Super Palita sa Umaga
13:15is consistent number one.
13:16Other programs sometimes lose.
13:18But Super Palita sa Umaga
13:20never loses.
13:21That's why it's our responsibility
13:24to keep it afloat,
13:25to keep it on the number one.
13:26It's a big responsibility.
13:29But what I think about it,
13:31it's a collective effort.
13:32When Mike passed away,
13:33many people should be replaced
13:35so that Mike's talent can be seen.
13:37Me, Melo, Orly, Weng.
13:39Those are the people who are together
13:41to fill the void that Mike lost.
13:43Egan, he's okay.
13:45It's a collective effort
13:47to fill Mike's void
13:49when he passed away.
13:50If there's one lesson
13:51that you learned from Sir Mike Enriquez,
13:54what is it?
13:55Oh, the dedication to work.
13:57You know, Mike,
13:58his personality as a manager
14:01and his personality as a public figure.
14:03When he's in front of the microphone,
14:05he's at the level of the masses.
14:08But when he's at the managerial level,
14:10he's at the level of the masses.
14:12He's good at his job as an anchor.
14:14And he's excellent
14:16when it comes to managerial work.
14:18We can say he's an exemplary human being
14:21as a friend of Sir Mike Enriquez.
14:23I'm sure you've been together for a long time, right?
14:27Yes, we've been together for 23 years.
14:29Wow!
14:30We also know, Jewel,
14:32that recently you received a star
14:35in the Walk of Fame in Eastwood.
14:38Oh my!
14:39Imagine!
14:40How does it feel
14:41to have your own star in the Walk of Fame?
14:44I thought it will never come.
14:46There are a lot of contemporaries
14:48who were given stars.
14:49I said,
14:50it's been a long time for me.
14:53But it's a feather in my cap
14:55because we don't do this
14:57just for fame.
15:00We do this
15:01because we want to help
15:03our countrymen become critical thinkers.
15:05We want to guide them,
15:06help them discern facts from fake news.
15:10We want to teach them
15:12how to look at each issue.
15:14If there's this kind of recognition,
15:17it's just a bonus.
15:18But we don't do this
15:20because we want recognition.
15:22But it's a good bonus, right?
15:24I'm sure,
15:25you mentioned earlier
15:27that you went from newscasting
15:29to commentary.
15:30And your commentary,
15:32like you said,
15:33in Bango na Bayan,
15:34it's not just commentary.
15:36It's hard-hitting.
15:37How do you prepare for each topic?
15:41I mean,
15:42sometimes,
15:43do you have to filter
15:44what you're saying in your mind?
15:46Or,
15:47whatever you can think of,
15:48you can just say it.
16:04You mentioned earlier
16:29that you went from newscasting
16:31to commentary.
16:32And your commentary,
16:33like you said,
16:34in Bango na Bayan,
16:35it's not just commentary.
16:37It's hard-hitting.
16:38How do you prepare for each topic?
16:42I mean,
16:43sometimes,
16:44do you have to filter
16:45what you're saying in your mind?
16:47Or,
16:48whatever you can think of,
16:49you can just say it.
16:50No.
16:51You have to research.
16:52And,
16:53well,
16:54if you're mentioned,
16:55it should be backed up with facts.
16:57Every time,
16:58I always go on for it,
17:01acting like the challenger.
17:02It's like,
17:03you're always hungry
17:06to give out information.
17:08It's like that.
17:09You shouldn't air
17:10when you're not ready.
17:12So,
17:13you should prepare for every comment.
17:15What kind of preparation do you do?
17:17Like,
17:18before you go in,
17:19or at night?
17:20Do you read?
17:21You read.
17:22At night,
17:23you watch for 24 hours.
17:24You line up the issues
17:26that you want to tackle.
17:28You find the resource first.
17:30Of course,
17:31you sum it up
17:32and come up with your own commentary
17:34on the issue.
17:35You have to be well-rounded.
17:37You have to be well-read.
17:38You have to be well-researched.
17:40You have to read every day.
17:42Every day,
17:43you should be hungry for information.
17:45Because,
17:46I always tell the kids,
17:47when they interview me,
17:49studying
17:50doesn't end school.
17:52It's not because you graduated.
17:54You're not hungry
17:56for studying and reading.
17:58Every day is a learning experience.
18:00You should always be hungry for information.
18:02Did something happen to you
18:03that you were told,
18:04like,
18:05every time you say something,
18:07you want to make up for it?
18:08There are many occasions.
18:09Because,
18:10sometimes,
18:11no,
18:12you bring up an issue.
18:13Because,
18:14of course,
18:15you want to point it out to people.
18:16You're angry
18:17at what's happening to them.
18:18You're angry
18:19at what their leaders are doing.
18:21Sometimes,
18:22you say something that's not good.
18:23Sometimes,
18:24you say something that's bad.
18:25Later on,
18:26you will realize,
18:27why did I say that?
18:28So, every time,
18:29I do that,
18:31you'll expect a call from Mike.
18:33And,
18:34Mike will tell me,
18:35why did you say that?
18:36There are many explanations.
18:37But,
18:38there are many occasions.
18:39I was told that,
18:40after a few hours,
18:42I want to make up for it.
18:43But,
18:44I was told that.
18:45So,
18:46we're just human.
18:47Yes,
18:48but,
18:49from all the
18:50commentaries you've done,
18:51through the years,
18:52what's the one
18:53that you're really passionate about?
18:55What issue,
18:56topic,
18:57if that's the one you're talking about,
18:59your heart beats really fast.
19:01And,
19:02you really need to say
19:03what you want to say.
19:04This,
19:05you know,
19:06I've commented on a lot of
19:07corruption issues
19:08among our leaders.
19:09But,
19:10what's happening in the
19:11West Philippine Sea,
19:12I'm very passionate about it.
19:13Because,
19:14there shouldn't be a grey area here.
19:16You know what I mean?
19:17It's either,
19:18you're Filipino,
19:19or you're Chinese.
19:21That's it.
19:22Our administration
19:23doesn't do anything wrong.
19:25If they don't fight for our rights,
19:27that's what they do for a living.
19:30There's no compromise here,
19:31Tia.
19:32Because,
19:33what we see is that
19:34they're taking away our rights.
19:35So,
19:36you should fight for two things.
19:37If you don't fight,
19:38let's just give up
19:39that territory.
19:41That should be ours,
19:42that we're exploring.
19:43So,
19:44I'm very passionate about
19:45the West Philippine Sea.
19:46Yes,
19:47actually,
19:48he's censoring
19:49the comments.
19:50Yes,
19:51that's true.
19:52I have a lot of enemies there.
19:53I have a lot of enemies.
19:54Speaking of,
19:55did something happen to you?
19:56Did you say something to someone
19:58that wasn't very nice,
19:59and then you saw each other in person?
20:01There were a lot of opportunities.
20:03But,
20:04there's an official approach.
20:06There's an official approach
20:07that,
20:08even though I've been criticized a few times,
20:10when you see each other,
20:11it's like you're friends.
20:12Sometimes,
20:13you will appreciate them.
20:15Because,
20:16usually,
20:17it's not personal.
20:18You're not being personal.
20:19I had an opportunity,
20:20Tia,
20:21I interviewed her on the air,
20:22I texted her on the phone.
20:23I met her cousin,
20:24a former high-ranking official.
20:26He didn't like my question.
20:27I texted her on the phone.
20:29So,
20:30on the air.
20:31My avid listeners,
20:33they will never forget that.
20:34Every time they see me,
20:36no matter how long it's been,
20:37I still remember them saying,
20:39you were texted on the air.
20:41I said,
20:42that's part of our territory.
20:44Really,
20:45sometimes,
20:46we get those kinds of reactions.
20:49It only happened once to me.
20:51But,
20:52it's an experience that I cannot forget.
20:54Did you see her ever in person
20:55after that incident?
20:56Never, never, never.
20:57Ah, okay, okay.
20:58But,
20:59did you ever receive a scolding
21:01because of what you said on the air?
21:03I think so,
21:04but I didn't receive any texts.
21:06But,
21:07I feel that
21:08since
21:09my comment was a bit heart-breaking,
21:11I feel like
21:13there's something wrong.
21:14Just a defensive mode on my part.
21:16You always need to be ready.
21:17Always be alert.
21:18Because, of course,
21:19I think
21:20that's what's hard about
21:22giving a comment.
21:23If you say something
21:24that the other person won't like,
21:27you might get scolded
21:28or you might get rejected.
21:30But, if you say something nice about someone,
21:32they'll say,
21:33that's biased.
21:34Maybe, that's their friend.
21:36It's like you didn't say anything right.
21:38Thank you,
21:39that's a job.
21:40I'm telling you,
21:41you should take it in stride.
21:42I've been commenting for 24 years.
21:44So,
21:45I already know the expectations.
21:46You're right there.
21:47It's up to you.
21:48It's up to you.
21:49Egan and Connie said,
21:51there's no personality.
21:53That's their program,
21:54there's no personality.
21:55It's just for the country.
21:57It's for our bigger mission.
21:59That's true.
22:01You said, Joel,
22:02you've been in the industry for more than 20 years.
22:05So, now,
22:06you'll be the mentor.
22:08Do you have anything
22:10that you're pushing along the way?
22:12I don't know.
22:13Maybe, my son
22:14wants to be a commentator
22:15because
22:16I always debate.
22:18Oh no,
22:19you're only 6 years old
22:20and you're already debating.
22:21Good luck.
22:22I'm debating.
22:23Every time
22:24I continue to
22:26drive,
22:27you're speeding.
22:28Can you slow down?
22:30That's how it is.
22:31Always listen to mom.
22:35Are you their accountant?
22:39Probably.
22:41In the kitchen,
22:42I have a lot of mentors.
22:43Sometimes,
22:44when we meet in meetings,
22:45I teach them.
22:47I give pointers
22:48to the kids.
22:50I started as a reporter.
22:53I'm a reporter,
22:54a police reporter.
22:55When I see reporters
22:57who have potential,
22:58I give them pointers
22:59unsolicitedly.
23:01Even unsolicited?
23:03What's your advice
23:04to those
23:05who want to be
23:06a commentator
23:07like you?
23:08A broadcaster like you?
23:09That's it.
23:10I always say
23:11that every day
23:12in the learning experience,
23:13don't stop studying.
23:15If you can,
23:16take courses.
23:17New courses.
23:18Especially,
23:19in technology.
23:20You don't have to
23:21study hard.
23:22You need to improve.
23:23Your hunger for knowledge
23:25should always be there.
23:27Always come prepared.
23:29Always act like
23:30a challenger.
23:31Don't be a champion.
23:32If you do that,
23:33you will remain
23:34on top.
23:35That's my advice.
23:36Always read.
23:38Always study.
23:39Don't be lazy.
23:40Don't just listen.
23:42In that way,
23:44you can absorb
23:45what's being heard.
23:46Regardless of
23:47whether it's right or wrong.
23:48If it's right,
23:49you can apply.
23:50If it's wrong,
23:51avoid it.
23:52When your son
23:53tells you that
23:54he wants to be
23:55a commentator,
23:56is it okay for you?
23:57Of course.
23:58Because,
23:59I think,
24:00in our life,
24:01we were given
24:02a mission.
24:03If he wins,
24:04and he lands
24:05in this kind of industry,
24:08I would be very happy.
24:09I would always tell her,
24:10you have a bigger mission.
24:11Give yourself
24:12a chance
24:13to help
24:14so that
24:15more people
24:16can think.
24:17That's beautiful.
24:19He loves arts.
24:21He loves painting.
24:23He loves music.
24:26He loves dancing.
24:27He's good at dancing.
24:28Very creative.
24:30Yes.
24:31He loves drawing.
24:33That's where it came from.
24:35He takes care of me
24:36when I'm having a hard time.
24:37A bit.
24:39But,
24:40he loves arts.
24:43He's good at painting.
24:44I'm sure,
24:45with the encouragement
24:46from her parents,
24:48she can do
24:49whatever she wants to do.
24:51She will excel
24:52in whatever she decides
24:53to pursue.
24:54We support her
24:55wherever she wants.
24:56Now,
24:57I'm teaching her karate.
24:58Actually,
24:59last year,
25:00we only had 3 sessions.
25:01She said,
25:02I want ballet.
25:03I want jazz.
25:04Okay.
25:05Wow.
25:06I said,
25:07I'm teaching you karate
25:08so that
25:09no one can
25:10make fun of you.
25:13It's okay.
25:14Just tell her
25:15that her father is Joel Rizabel.
25:16She'll be afraid
25:17to make fun of him.
25:18No.
25:19I'm a good person.
25:20Joel,
25:21thank you so much
25:22for spending time with us
25:23this afternoon.
25:24But,
25:25we're not done yet.
25:26We have a quick game
25:27for you.
25:28Sure.
25:29This is from Double B.
25:30You're here
25:31as a surprise guest.
25:32The game is
25:34Double Choices.
25:35Okay.
25:36We'll give you
25:372 choices
25:38because it's a double.
25:39Then,
25:40you'll choose
25:41the one
25:42you like the most.
25:43Choice.
25:44Choice.
25:45Yes.
25:46Okay.
25:47Alright.
25:48First,
25:49Double Choice.
25:50Early morning
25:51or late night show?
25:52Early morning.
25:53You're already used to it, right?
25:54You can do a lot of things
25:55after the program
25:56in the morning.
25:57You can go crazy
25:58in the afternoon.
25:59I didn't ask
26:00what time you sleep
26:01because
26:02what time
26:03should you be
26:04in the station?
26:05When I was still a baby,
26:06I sleep
26:07at 9 AM.
26:08When I was a baby,
26:09I wake up
26:10and I sleep
26:11at 1 AM.
26:12I wake up
26:13at 4 AM.
26:14But,
26:15I recover.
26:16I recover
26:17when I arrive
26:18because I'm done
26:19at 9 AM.
26:20So,
26:21I go home
26:22and lay down
26:23on my recliner
26:24and I'm okay.
26:25I sleep
26:26for 1.5 hours
26:27to recover.
26:28You have a nap.
26:29That's your nap
26:30in the morning.
26:31That's it.
26:33Did you have a late night show?
26:34No.
26:35When I was in Veritas,
26:36I had a shift
26:37in the graveyard.
26:38But,
26:39when I was in Daubag,
26:40I didn't have a show.
26:41Really?
26:42Yes.
26:43Early afternoon.
26:44Ah, okay.
26:45Next,
26:46live reporting
26:47or pre-recorded
26:48segments?
26:49Live recording of course
26:50because we're used
26:51to reporting
26:52without editing.
26:53Yes.
26:54We're reporters.
26:55We report
26:56as it is
26:57what we see.
26:58We report.
26:59Live recording is okay for me
27:00but pre-recording
27:01is okay too.
27:02I'm okay with that.
27:03Sometimes, it's longer
27:04because there's a take 2.
27:05There are corrections.
27:06Yes.
27:07Okay, next.
27:08Oh no,
27:09this is a difficult question.
27:10Go solo
27:11in a show
27:12or still have a tandem?
27:13It's good to have a tandem
27:14because
27:15two ends
27:16are better than one.
27:17Sometimes,
27:18you think
27:19you're right.
27:20You know,
27:21Ruena,
27:22in my show,
27:23sometimes,
27:24she corrects me.
27:25You know,
27:26one day,
27:27you know a lot.
27:28When it comes to
27:29the tandem,
27:30it's good
27:31to have a tandem.
27:32It's better
27:33to have a tandem.
27:34Yes.
27:35It's better
27:36to have a partner,
27:37right?
27:38Yes.
27:39It's better
27:40to have a partner.
27:41Okay, next.
27:42Family dinner
27:43or family outing?
27:44Can it be both?
27:45Because
27:46that's what we usually do.
27:47It's the same.
27:48It's just that
27:49we can't
27:50go on a date
27:51on a regular basis.
27:52You always have someone
27:53with you.
27:54We're always there.
27:55Family dinner
27:56is very important
27:57because
27:58you can talk
27:59about your feelings
28:00that you need to improve
28:01the next morning.
28:02So,
28:03it's better
28:04to have a family dinner
28:05where you can talk.
28:06Yes.
28:07When Z-An
28:08becomes a teenager,
28:09you'll go on a date
28:10again,
28:11right, Des?
28:12Yes,
28:13for a long time.
28:14I told her,
28:15maybe after two years,
28:16she can't go on a date
28:17because she's still very clingy.
28:18She's still clingy.
28:19That's cute.
28:20But,
28:21it's funny
28:22because,
28:23you know,
28:24I only have one son
28:25and he's a girl.
28:26Yes,
28:27I saw him.
28:28How are you?
28:29Because I remember
28:30when he was still so small.
28:31He was already like that.
28:32But,
28:33you're halfway there.
28:34You're halfway there.
28:35I'm embarrassed.
28:36Oh,
28:37he's already a teenager.
28:38He's already an adult.
28:39Oh,
28:40next.
28:41Read a book to Yizzy
28:42or go on a trip with her?
28:43It's the same.
28:44Last night,
28:45we were reading
28:46Bible stories.
28:47Of course,
28:48go on a trip
28:49because
28:50you'll only be able
28:51to be with her
28:52for a few years
28:53because she can't
28:54travel.
28:55Maybe,
28:56maybe
28:57she'll arrive
28:58in a year or two
28:59and she won't be
29:00able to join you
29:01and she'll want to travel.
29:02It's the same.
29:03Read a book
29:04and at the same time,
29:05go on a trip.
29:06Then,
29:07she'll go into
29:08grade 1
29:09and you'll have
29:10a friend.
29:11You thought
29:12in grade 1,
29:13you don't have a friend yet
29:14but you already have one.
29:15It's the same name.
29:16It's peaceful.
29:17There are a lot
29:18of friends.
29:19Oh,
29:20it's not.
29:21Very friendly.
29:22Very sociable.
29:23There are
29:24priorities of course.
29:25We'll be waiting for that.
29:28Joel, thank you so much again for joining us today for a wonderful surprise.
29:34Thank you so much.
29:36Can you invite our viewers and listeners to look for you on Superadio, DZW, or on social media?
29:45Thank you, Pia.
29:46My program is Super Balita sa Humangan Nationwide, 7 to 8 in the morning.
29:51The success rate is double, 8 to 9.
29:53Let's just talk to Egan.
29:57You'll be able to recover right away.
29:59I'm also on Facebook.
30:01I'm also on my wife's page.
30:05I'm also on Facebook.
30:07Just look for me, Joel Reyes.
30:09Thank you so much, Joel.
30:11We'll be waiting for you every morning on the radio.
30:14Thank you very much.
30:15Surprise!
