00:00Welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abuelo.
00:24Welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abuelo.
00:27To all of our Facebook and YouTube followers,
00:30to all of our listeners, the GZEW,
00:32welcome to the program.
00:36This is a very important day.
00:39Happy birthday, Chang Susan!
00:45Chang Susan, happy birthday.
00:47Hi, birthday.
00:48Let's start the show with for today's talk.
00:50This Sunday, at 3.15 pm.
00:52I hope you'll join us, Beya Alonzo,
00:55in our August episode of My Mother, My Story.
00:59I started the interview with Beya with one question.
01:02I asked her,
01:03Beya, what kind of mother do you want to be?
01:08And her answer was straightforward, was direct.
01:12She said, just like my mother.
01:14Why?
01:15That's what you'll find out this Sunday.
01:17But now, we're going to show you
01:21a small part of my interview with Beya Alonzo.
01:26Let's watch.
01:28Would you be a strict mother?
01:30I think so.
01:31Because it really helped me a lot growing up.
01:33Especially in our dynamic.
01:38Because I was the breadwinner.
01:40So I've seen people, I've seen actors and actresses
01:45because they became breadwinners,
01:47they would call the shots in their family.
01:49But you're very young, so you don't know any better.
01:52In our family, the dynamic never changed.
01:55She was still the mother.
01:57Even though I was providing.
01:59That's interesting.
02:00I feel like if she wasn't like that to me,
02:04maybe my personality would've changed.
02:07She was very adamant.
02:10She was very...
02:12Headstrong.
02:13Headstrong in saying that I am the mother.
02:19Thank you so much, Beya.
02:21We are very proud of this special
02:23because it's our way of paying tribute to all mothers.
02:26Like Beya's story, we all have our own stories with our mothers.
02:31Sometimes it's happy, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's chaotic,
02:33sometimes it's fine.
02:35But despite everything, we always go back to the core.
02:38And what is that core?
02:40Love.
02:41My mother, my story this week.
02:433.15 in the afternoon.
02:46Right here at GMA.
02:48And Beya is joining us for our visit this afternoon
02:51from Widow's War.
02:55Brilliant guy.
02:56I mean, I haven't seen him in years,
02:58but I'm just so happy that he could join us today.
03:01Please welcome, Benjamin Alvin.
03:09Thank you, thank you.
03:10I'm good to see you.
03:11You look so good.
03:13You look good.
03:14Thank you, thank you.
03:15Thank you so much.
03:16And congratulations to Widow's War.
03:19Thank you so much, thank you.
03:20You're being watched and you're not being separated by Widow's War.
03:24The direct question is, what is Basil's secret?
03:27Ah!
03:29Basil has a secret.
03:30Does he?
03:31Does he?
03:32Is he hiding something?
03:33It's like there's nothing here.
03:35It's like what you see is what you get.
03:38He doesn't explain it.
03:41He has no shame.
03:42He doesn't hide anything.
03:43So, I think in the next few episodes,
03:45you'll know his secret.
03:47The only secret now is,
03:48who was the one who poisoned Basil?
03:51That's the question of all.
03:53Will we know that in the next episodes?
03:56Even I don't know who killed Basil.
03:58Even you don't know.
03:59Even I have a guess who killed Basil,
04:02but we'll talk about that later.
04:04That makes it more interesting.
04:05But when we found out who killed Basil,
04:08to be very direct about it,
04:10it was Basil in Widow's War.
04:11But this is going back and forth.
04:13It doesn't disappear.
04:15You wrote an interesting post.
04:18When you said goodbye to Zakaria,
04:21you spoke about him.
04:22Yes.
04:23Two words stand out.
04:24Zesty.
04:25Right?
04:26Yes.
04:27Sassy.
04:28Yes.
04:29And then you spoke about,
04:31you will always be inside me.
04:33Really?
04:34Talk more about it.
04:35I think everyone has a zesty side.
04:37Of course.
04:38Or a sassy side.
04:39I just think for me,
04:40I haven't let it show yet.
04:42In workshops,
04:43I've explored it.
04:45That zesty, that sassy side.
04:47That B-side.
04:49So, it will always be inside me.
04:52And it was nice to have a material
04:55and an opportunity to show it.
04:57That's interesting.
04:59You're an actor.
05:00Yes.
05:01I am a fan.
05:03If you were,
05:04you have not come out,
05:05you have not shown that zesty,
05:07that sassy side as an actor.
05:09If you were to say the line,
05:11talagang may line,
05:12we do it here.
05:13Ayokong makita ka habang buhay.
05:17I mean, sassy, zesty,
05:19how would you deliver that line?
05:21Ayokong makita ka habang buhay.
05:24I love it.
05:27Or, ayokong makita ka habang buhay.
05:29All right.
05:30Ganda.
05:31Okay.
05:32I'm sitting with two brilliant actresses.
05:34Yes.
05:35You know, Carla Abellana
05:36and Bea Alonso.
05:38Tanong, ano ang pagkakaiba nila
05:40pagdating sa pag-arte?
05:42With Carla, I've worked with her before,
05:45so there's a familiarity with me.
05:47There's a feeling of home
05:49and some rapport that we've had
05:51because we've been able to work a few times.
05:53And she's a good friend of mine.
05:55With Bea, relentless.
05:58Sobrang relentless focus.
06:00I love her on set.
06:01I love when I...
06:02Relentless focus dahil...
06:04Is this the first time you're working with her?
06:05Yeah.
06:06Nangapaka, hindi mo masyadong alam kung saan pupunta?
06:09I just knew she was gonna bring it.
06:10I just knew she was gonna bring...
06:12She has good words about you.
06:15And again, when the opportunity came to work...
06:18When Bea actually came to the network,
06:20I already...
06:22That's like the bucket list of every actor
06:24to be able to work with her.
06:25And what great opportunity
06:27to be able to work with her as a foil.
06:29To be against her.
06:30Not a love team.
06:31Not a brother.
06:33Talagang...
06:34Like, we're fighting on the scene.
06:36Like, for me and you,
06:37we're gonna try to kill each other.
06:39So, that was so great.
06:41So, kailangan ng focus.
06:42Hindi mo binibitawan si Bea Alonso.
06:44Yeah, and she always listens.
06:45Kasi sabi niya may baon ka lagi.
06:46Alam mo ang set, no?
06:48Dumadating ka sa set,
06:49you know what you're going to do.
06:50And you bring in certain nuances into the character
06:53pag nandun ka na.
06:54Si siya, paano siya?
06:56I mean, how is she in the moment?
06:58Ika nga.
06:59She listens.
07:00When we do our rehearsals,
07:02we'll do the lines.
07:04But then, at the moment,
07:06you throw something at her
07:08and she receives it
07:09and it's always...
07:10Binabalik, no?
07:11Yeah.
07:12So, what you see on the screen
07:13is 110% from what the script is.
07:18Okay.
07:19So, it becomes alive.
07:20It becomes organic.
07:21Kung baga po,
07:22yung dialogue namin
07:23na nanganak because of the rapport.
07:26Same thing with Carla.
07:27I think very...
07:28Yung nga lang, I think,
07:29the opportunity with Carla is
07:31with Basil and George,
07:33Carla's character,
07:34talagang, ano sila, distant eh.
07:36Okay.
07:37Because of the secret
07:38na malalaman nyo kay Basil later on.
07:40Napakarami mga sikreto, diba?
07:42Lahat munang palasyos, opo.
07:43Lahat may mga sikreto sila.
07:45Even Carla.
07:46Even Bea's character.
07:48Sino ang lumason kay Basil?
07:50Malalaman hun natin sana.
07:52Benjamin doesn't even know
07:54who killed Basil.
07:56No.
07:57I'd like to know
07:58if anybody had records.
07:59We would like to know.
08:00Okay.
08:01I think the last time we spoke
08:03on air was many, many, many years ago.
08:06Huwag na po natin lagyan
08:07ng numero yung years.
08:08Basta years ago na po siya.
08:09Ayaw po sabihin kung gaano.
08:10Kasi mag-match sila eh
08:11sa edad po natin eh.
08:12Okay.
08:13Nalaman ko noon
08:14at alam ng lahat
08:15na ika'y pamangkin
08:16ni Piolo Pascual,
08:17derecha ang tanong ulit.
08:19Because based on that conversation,
08:20bakit hindi mo ginamit ng gusto
08:22si Piolo Pascual
08:23para makapasok ka sa industriya
08:25during the time?
08:26And then move on your own.
08:29But just as an entry point,
08:32that was a good shadow.
08:33That was a good name.
08:34That was a great name.
08:35He's a great actor.
08:36Bakit hindi mo ginamit
08:37si Piolo Pascual?
08:39I wanted to respect
08:40whatever he went through
08:41knowing what he had to go through
08:42and the hardships
08:43and the journey.
08:44I needed to experience
08:45that for myself.
08:46I think I needed
08:47to go through that
08:48in order to appreciate
08:49what I have now.
08:51And I think I've always been
08:52in dialogue with him.
08:53I've always had
08:54a relationship with him.
08:55You've been helpful.
08:56Yes, super helpful.
08:57Super, super helpful.
08:58I've always had
08:59a dialogue with him.
09:00Even now,
09:01even when I had moved to GMA,
09:03he was one of the first people
09:04that I talked to
09:05and informed him about it.
09:09So, yeah.
09:10I just wanted to,
09:11whatever,
09:12I wanted to have
09:13the full experience.
09:14I respect that.
09:15I really respect that.
09:16Kasi, yun ang...
09:18I know, I know.
09:19I think that's the first time
09:20I met P.P.G.
09:21One of the nicest guys.
09:22One of the most beautiful people
09:24I've known in the industry.
09:25Funny guy.
09:26I think that's what
09:27people don't know.
09:28Atsaka napakabuti
09:29inside and out.
09:30Yes.
09:31Okay, let's do fast talk.
09:32Okay, here we go.
09:34We have two minutes
09:35to do this
09:36and our time begins now.

10:36Oh yes.
10:37Guilty or not guilty,

10:40Oo, opo.
10:42Sa Widow's War,
10:43sino ang pinaka-mabilis umiyak?
10:47Miss Jean, Carla, Sam.
10:49Pinaka-masakit manampal?
10:51Wala eh, wala.
10:52Pinaka-matagal mag-makeup?
10:54Si Basil, yung buhok niya.
10:57Aayain mong mag-food trip?
10:59Kuya Ton, Kuya Lito.
11:00Aayain mong uminom?
11:02Lahat sila.
11:03Bibigyan mo ng love advice?
11:05Oo, wala ako binibigyan eh.
11:08Lights on or lights off?
11:10Lights off.
11:11Happiness or chocolates?
11:12Happiness.
11:13Best time for happiness?
11:14Every time.
11:15Best thing about being married?
11:17Oh, having a family.
11:21Benjamin,
11:22dumating ang Widow's War sa karera mo
11:26at a point in your life
11:27when you thought it was over.
11:30It was close to the end.
11:33And then in some of your interviews,
11:34you would talk about longevity.
11:36You would even talk about,
11:38you would even talk about
11:39humility over hard work.
11:41Ipaliwanag mo ang mga bagay na ito.
11:43Nasaan ka ngayon sa iyong buhay
11:45bilang tao at bilang artista?
11:47Ang mga kasagutan po
11:49sa pagbabalik ng Fast Talk with Boy Abo.
11:59The back of the show.
12:01Dumating ang Widow's War
12:03at a point in your life
12:04when I think you were starting to question,
12:06meron pa bang lugar para sa akin?
12:08Am I close to the end?
12:10Take me there.
12:11You just see it.
12:13You just see that the door is not as open
12:15or not as wide
12:17as when you first entered 12 years ago.
12:19So, having that self-awareness
12:21that this might be
12:23one of the last few months.
12:25I'm always a future forward thinker
12:28so nothing will surprise you.
12:31Hindi ka mabibiglad
12:32na parang wala ka na pala.
12:34So, I think it helped
12:36because when I got,
12:37nakuha ko po yung role ng Basil,
12:39all in.
12:40There's nothing, you know,
12:42I wish I had that attitude
12:43for all my roles.
12:46This is the last one.
12:48You gotta go 110%.
12:49No, but it's not late.
12:51Ang sarap ng attitude na
12:52this is the last one.
12:53Nothing to lose.
12:54Nothing to lose.
12:55Okay, and you talk about complacency.
12:57Being a disease.
12:58Ano ang gamot nun?
13:00Being challenged.
13:01Challenging yourself.
13:02Always, no?
13:03Yeah, and being humbled.
13:04I think that's one of the...
13:05Parati mo yung sinasabi.
13:07Humility over hard work
13:09is what matters dito sa ating industriya.
13:12Opo.
13:13I wouldn't say I'm a veteran per se
13:16but being in the industry
13:17long enough to know na
13:19I've worked with people
13:21that are still here
13:22because of the humility
13:23and I'm astounded
13:24and I'm surprised
13:25when they're on set
13:27na wala po silang...
13:28Kasi yabang-yabang.
13:30Yeah, and I think acting
13:32and being an actor
13:33is one of the few professions na
13:35kahit 30-year veteran ka
13:37and in the first year veteran
13:38when you step in front of the camera
13:41you're even-feeled po yun eh.
13:44So, the humility comes from that.
13:46Na tutulungan mo yung...
13:48Like, with me and Bae,
13:50she's my senior.
13:52So, the humility of her
13:55and her focus to respect my craft
13:57and I respect hers
13:58kaya gumaganda po yung eksena.
14:00Ano pa ang mga pangarap mo
14:02ngayon as we talk?
14:03As an actor,
14:05more challenging roles
14:06to be challenged.
14:07Kasi minsang kailangan sabihin mo.
14:08Yeah.
14:09Oo, para mangyari.
14:10As an actor,
14:11being challenged and recognition,
14:13I think.
14:14I think when you spoke about it earlier,
14:16when I see Kuya PJ's house,
14:18the thing that I focus on,
14:19no matter how grand the house is,
14:21is the endless walls of awards.
14:24And I've always...
14:26Like, you know that this guy
14:27built this house
14:28because of that passion he had
14:29and that talent he had.
14:31So, yeah, I think recognition.
14:33The recognition.
14:34I don't know if it's a good thing to say.
14:36Nag-umpisa naman yun.
14:37I think, was it last year
14:38when you were nominated
14:39for the ASEAN Awards?
14:42Yes, yes, yes.
14:43After 12 years.
14:45Oo.
14:46No, no, no.
14:47Minsan hindi mo alam talaga
14:48kung kailan mag-uumpisa.
14:49Sometimes it starts after...
14:51Ang game.
14:52I mean, great actors like who?
14:54Cesar Montano
14:55was in the business
14:56for quite a long time
14:58before he, you know,
15:00got into the business really big.
15:01You know?
15:02People waited.
15:03But where are you
15:04at this point in your life?
15:06Bilang asawa,
15:07bilang aktor.
15:09Where are you
15:10at this point in your life?
15:11When you asked me
15:12what's my next role earlier
15:13during the break,
15:14that would be the perfect role
15:15I would want
15:16is to become a father.
15:17That would be...
15:18Both on screen
15:19and in real life.
15:20Oh, I've done it on screen
15:21but in real life.
15:22Oo.
15:23Yeah, in real life.
15:27From people that I,
15:28co-actors that I've worked with,
15:29iba, there's a deeper...
15:31You come on set
15:32and there's a deeper meaning
15:34and there's a deeper reason
15:35why you're on set.
15:36And yung assignment
15:37sa Lamayktad,
15:38specifically,
15:39yung assignment nilang umuwi
15:40para makita yung pamilya nila.
15:42I want that.
15:43I want that for me
15:45and my wife.
15:46Chelsea.
15:47Yes.
15:48Who's watching right now.
15:49Last question.
15:50Isang araw mapapanood ito
15:52ng magiging anak mo.
15:56God willing,
15:57and may you be blessed
15:58with children.
16:01If you were to talk
16:02to your child,
16:04say, yung anak,
16:05right this very moment,
16:06anong sasabihin mo?
16:10Son or daughter,
16:11I hope you're proud of me.
16:13I hope that,
16:17I hope I'm raising you correctly.
16:19And I hope I'm ready.
16:20And I, yeah.
16:23Does he, she make you happy?
16:25Yeah.
16:26And you're my reason.
16:27You're my reason
16:28why I'm still here.
16:29You're my reason
16:30why I'm happy
16:31and you're the reason
