00:00While this afternoon, we celebrate the life and legacy of a passionate pillar of Philippine
00:10entertainment industry, Lily U. Monteverde, or better known in showbiz as Mother Lily.
00:17She gave birth this week, August 4, just a few days after her husband, Remy Monteverde,
00:27father, was born on July 29. She would have been 85 years old by now, August 19.
00:37She was a fangirl who waited for hours outside the gate of the movie studios
00:44I'm supposed to go there?
00:56Sapat para makaipon ng pera, para bilhin ang rights ng Hollywood film na All Mine To Give,
01:02para maipalabas dito sa Pilipinas. Ito po yung kanyang unang pelikula na kumita,
01:06kaya siya nakapag-produce. Mula sa puhunan po ng 7,000 pesos, kumita ng pelikula ang pelikula
01:13ng kalahating milyon, which was a big amount of money during that time. Dito na nagsimulang umusbong
01:19ang kanyang karera sa industriya at itinatag ni Mother Lily ang Regal Films noong 1973.
01:28Noong 1976, nailabas ang unang pelikula ng Regal na magsikap kayod sa araw, kayod sa gabi,
01:37at mula noon ay nakapag-produce na si Mother Lily ng halos tatlong daang pelikula.
01:43She was strong-willed. She was brutally honest. She was funny. She was kind.
01:51And she was always motherly. Personally, I would not forget the way Mother laughed
01:58and the way she treated people. She was a kind person.
02:12Ang makakasama natin ngayong hapon, naitay kapuso, please welcome Sunuki Serna and Ms. Alma Moreno.
02:21Hi, Tito Boy. Hi, Tito Boy.
02:27Magandang hapon. Magandang hapon.
02:30Kumusta kayong dalawa?
02:32Ah, eto po.
02:32Nagluluksa?
02:33Ah, po eh.
02:34Malungkot.
02:36Sad, Tito Boy. It's a very sad day.
02:39It is. It is. I'm sure bawat isa sa atin ay may mga kwento tungkol kay Mother,
02:44but take me back to the very first time na nakita at nag-meet kayo ni Mother.
02:53Ako, Kuya Boy, siguro nakita ako ni Mother Lily doon kay Manay Ichu.
02:59Noong meron akong ginawa na movie na, what's this, yung movie ko na kay Manay Ichu,
03:07doon niya ako nakita. Tapos, nag-hit kayo, kinausap ako ni Mother Lily.
03:13Kumusta yung unang pag-uusap? Anong sabi niya sa'yo?
03:17Sabi lang niya sa'kin, gawa ka ng movie sa'kin, sabi niya gano'n.
03:22Tapos, pero kung magalala, alagaan kita, parang anak ko na.
03:27Pero, Nes, di ba, you were the first or one of the first to sign an exclusive contract with Regal?
03:34Yes, Kuya Boy.
03:36Ano yan? Noong kinausap niya pa ako, dalbatang-bata pa ako noon, siguro 17, 17 pa lang ako, 17, 18.
03:45Sabi niya sa'kin talaga na, pero alam mo, sisikat ka pa, kung sisikat ka ngayon,
03:50mas sisikat ka, alagaan ka namin, iko contract start ka namin.
03:54Pero siyempre nagpaalam ako kay Manay Ichu that time.
03:57Kasi si Manay Ichu sa'kin ng unang pinayagan ako tsaka ni Crown 7, pinayagan ako.
04:03Yun, may ginawa po ako sa kanyang walang karanasan.
04:08Yun ang unang-una, tapos nag-boom, kumita.
04:12Sobrang kumita, pero sobrang pag-aalaga, tapos pag medyo ninenervous ako.
04:18Nagbabantay siya sa set, na nanay na nanay, kasi siyempre baby pa ako, yung magsusuot ka ng medyo sexy.
04:26So, binabantayan ka parang nanay?
04:28Binabantayan kanya bilang nanay, siyempre nakaalalay siya.
04:31So, mararamdaman mo sa kanya yung pagmamahal niya sa artista niya.
05:01Thank you for watching!
