00:00Hello, good evening everybody. It's a mix of emotions. I'm joyful to be with you but I'm also sad because our mother passed away.
00:19Anyway, I just would like to share a few moments that, not really a few, I had many, many moments with mother.
00:28To tell the truth, a big part of my career was due to the help and the support of Mother Lily.
00:38Mother, as a producer, for other people who may not know, she's not above the rest as a producer because she's not just a producer of filipino films.
00:50Mother is a fan of filipino cinema.
00:56That's why when she made a production like Regal, it was not only for making movies or for the financial gain, but it was more for sharing the entertainment.
01:09And she herself, she enjoys what she does.
01:12That's why you'll notice that the filipino films of Regal really have a heart because she makes sure that she's part of it.
01:22It's not only business for her, it's something that she loves doing.
01:26And many times, when I sit with Mother, we have a chance to talk and I always tell her that.
01:37And this is the one thing that I will never, never, never, never forget.
01:43And I'd like to share it with you now.
01:46Because the other day, she told me, when I went to the market, she said,
01:51She said, if you want to help your family, you should take care of yourself and take care of your family.
02:00I said, I'm taking care of myself.
02:02Then I mentioned it to her.
02:03I said, Mother, I want to buy a small house for us, for my family.
02:11She said, okay, I want to help you.
02:13And she confirmed that she will help me.
02:16And it was really a big thing for me.
02:19You know, it's not a joke to go out and just buy a house.
02:24I mean, it costs a lot of money.
02:27Anyway, she was the one who was always pushing me.
02:31Even though there were affairs, she knew that it was my birthday.
02:35She always said, I'm here.
02:37She said, you can't do it here.
02:39She said, I'm still learning other languages.
02:41You can't do it here.
02:42I'm getting ready.
02:43You don't understand anything.
02:45Invite your friends to come with us.
02:48And always, when we see each other, she was more concerned about me.
02:52Not only me, but my family.
02:55Even my children.
02:57And actually, you can see in the closeness, I was one of my children, Bondi.
03:03My mother gave birth to her daughter.
03:07Yes.
03:08And even in the movies, actually, my career went on for a while.
03:15I kind of stopped.
03:17And she was the only woman who trusted in me.
03:20And she gave me another break.
03:23She gave me another chance.
03:26And she made a movie for me.
03:28There were a lot of things that she didn't believe in what she wanted to do.
03:32But she stuck it out.
03:33Because, as I told you, it's like my mother has magic.
03:38She can feel what people see and what they want.
03:44But to close, she helped me to buy that house that I was looking for.
03:52And even after that, she was more concerned not only for my career,
04:00but she was more concerned for my family.
04:04And her bodyguard was right.
04:08She's really a mother to everyone.
04:11And I'm sure everyone here, whether actors, actresses,
04:15and even our friends from the foreign estate,
04:19reporters,
04:21at one time or another,
04:22I know your mother,
04:24I don't know if it's true or not,
04:26but she always be there for you.
04:29She will always be there for you.
04:31She will always be there to help you.
04:33And mother,
04:38we celebrated a lot of events here in this place.
04:42We celebrated a lot of affairs when we were together.
04:47But tonight,
04:49we celebrate your life.
04:51The last time we talked,
04:53it was her mother's birthday,
04:55at her house in Green Hills.
04:59It's a house of memories that will never be forgotten.
05:01That's what we will see especially here.
05:03Expect that when you come here,
05:05you will hear music.
05:07It will be played.
05:08And not only one,
05:09maybe two or three pieces will be played.
05:11And the last time,
05:13we really had a great time
05:16with B,
05:18Ate B, and Boya
05:20when we visited her residence.
05:23So many beautiful memories.
05:30So many beautiful memories.
05:32And really,
05:33a person that will never, never fade in my heart.
05:38I will never forget her.
05:41When I woke up,
05:43I will tell you,
05:45what she did,
05:46she didn't help me buy the house.
05:48What she did was,
05:49she bought the house first.
05:51I said,
05:52okay mother,
05:53I will pay you,
05:54I will buy the house.
05:57After a couple of years,
05:59she said,
06:00she called me,
06:01come here,
06:02get your house first.
06:04I said,
06:05I have something for you.
06:07She said,
06:08get it first.
06:09I said,
06:10okay,
06:11I don't have a house.
06:12Get it first.
06:13Actually,
06:14when I got here,
06:15I was prepared.
06:16I was prepared for her loyalty.
06:19I gave her my house and then,
06:23still,
06:24every now and then,
06:25she called me,
06:26we get to talk.
06:28And always,
06:29her concern is my family.
06:32And of course,
06:33I will never forget her.
06:35So tonight,
06:36mother,
06:37we celebrate
06:38your life.
06:40For everything you've done.
06:42I mean,
