01:18Good morning!
01:20Today, we'll be posting 6.
01:22We'll let you know the posts that will be our significant personalities this year.
01:27The next important leading man, Dingtong Dantes!
01:30And the one who will be directing his important project this year,
01:33first-time movie director, Luis Ignacio.
01:35Mars Pukai, the so-called next Tiger Woods.
01:39And the next Adonis, Jeffrey Dalgo, Juan Migbondo, and Gwendolyn Ramos.
01:43Also, the new idols in the field of broadcast journalism,
01:47Bernadette Sembrano and Jiggy Manical.
01:49They are the best bets for 2010.
01:52Let's get to know them in
01:54SIS!
01:55We'll always be, we are sisters, we are sisters
02:03We'll always be, we are sisters, we are sisters
02:08We'll always be, we are sisters, we are sisters
02:15He'd always shown a certain reluctance, but it may just be his youth.
02:19Now, he's ready to go all out.
02:22The leading man who makes everyone proud,
02:24SIS bets, it's Dingtong Dantes.
02:27Dingtong Dantes!
02:29You're our best bet as the next IT leading man, right?
02:35But you're busier on TV.
02:37Do you plan to concentrate on movies again?
02:40Or do you still want to do TV first?
02:42Well, of course, hopefully, I'll venture into movies.
02:46But as for now, I'll concentrate on TV.
02:49How many movies have you done?
02:51Since I started, about three.
02:55But all are teeny bopper roles, I suppose.
02:57Yes, teeny bopper roles.
02:58Which do you enjoy more, movies or TV?
03:00They're different.
03:02Different in what way?
03:05In terms of length of work, first of all.
03:08In terms of duration, in terms of exposure.
03:10Because it's bigger.
03:13If you say you made a movie, it's like a big deal in the industry.
03:20Unlike when it's just a TV show.
03:23Although it's free, because anyone can watch it.
03:28But basically, in terms of weight, in terms of what I do in my career, it's almost the same.
03:35But mind you, right now, TV is the thing that's booming.
03:38TV, yes.
03:39If you're a movie star, it's easier to be on TV.
03:45But when you're on TV, you'll be on movies.
03:49It's a huge advantage to be on a TV show, for example.
03:53Why? Why do you say so?
03:55Of course, you get to know people.
03:58You reach all the corners of the Philippines.
04:00Yes, they'll become familiar with you.
04:02I mean, given that it's free viewing, television, right?
04:06So, no matter where, they'll be on TV.
04:09Even if it's in a corner, they'll see you.
04:11They'll watch you.
04:12So, they'll get to know you better.
04:15What's more challenging for you, personally?
04:20TV.
04:21In terms of acting.
04:23Because everything is continuous.
04:24Yes.
04:25You have to do it in one big blow.
04:26Yes.
04:27Since we're talking about that challenge,
04:29why don't you give an example of one of the things you do on TV?
04:34TV, movies, whatever.
04:37TV, what else?
04:38Okay, I don't want to give you a hard time.
04:41Okay.
04:43Maybe this is what I recall the most.
04:46In what I do, in soap operas,
04:49there are lines that I always say to my partner.
04:53For example, you do this.
04:55That's why, do it.
04:56Okay, I'll be your partner.
04:58Okay.
05:04I love you.
05:06Something like that.
05:08Why do you like that?
05:10Why do you say, I love you?
05:11Is that what you like?
05:14In my opinion.
05:15What do you mean, in your opinion?
05:16You should know why.
05:18Because being a leading man,
05:20it's important for people to like you.
05:25I mean, being a good man.
05:27So, you think that as a leading man,
05:33your audience should fall in love with you.
05:35Yes.
05:36You have to be sincere in your role.
05:39Let's say, for example, you love someone.
05:42You have to show them that you love them.
05:44So that they can see that you're sincere.
05:47And at the same time,
05:49they'll fall in love with you also.
05:51Because they'll believe in you.
05:53Dream role?
05:54A dream role, maybe...
05:58Let's say, the opposite.
05:59The harder one.
06:02The villain?
06:03The villain who's a psychopathic killer.
06:05Wow, psychopathic killer.
06:08Or...
06:11Edward Norton's role in...
06:13American History?
06:14No, no.
06:15But that's one good movie also.
06:16Fight Club?
06:17Or Primal Fear?
06:18Primal Fear.
06:20That's a hard one.
06:21It's challenging.
06:24You know, I don't know if people know this,
06:26or if they realize this,
06:28that earlier, when you were with Piolo Pascual,
06:32or some of the other leading men of today,
06:36but it took quite a while before you were able to do that.
06:41Was it a conscious decision?
06:42Was it a conscious choice?
06:44Was it because you concentrated on your studies?
06:46Or nothing?
06:47Because that's how it is.
06:48Well, maybe...
06:50I think it's all because of luck.
06:53I mean, for them.
06:55Because they have a big advantage.
06:58Because they're exposed at the same time,
07:00to movies.
07:02They have two media mileage.
07:03Movies and TV.
07:05While I was just concentrating on TV.
07:09TV first.
07:11TV first.
07:12Do you have any resentments about...
07:13Of course, because sometimes,
07:15you know, you're like,
07:16wow, I got ahead of them.
07:18No, because I believe that
07:21everything that happens,
07:23all the projects,
07:25all the opportunities,
07:26it's all luck.
07:28If it's your time,
07:29you'll be given that.
07:30If it's for you, it's for you.
07:32If not, I think you shouldn't.
07:34So you believe a part of it is just...
07:37A major part of it is that luck factor?
07:39Yes, it is.
07:40Because if there's one thing I believe in,
07:42it's that everything will just fall into its right places.
07:45Yeah, but you've got to have talent.
07:47Oh yes, of course.
07:48I mean, that's given,
07:49the fact that you're already in the industry.
07:52At 21 years old,
07:53do you really think that you're more serious now
07:55with your craft than earlier?
07:58Yes.
07:59Compared to before.
08:01Because when I started in TGIS,
08:03compared to before,
08:04like when they said Teenie Bopper,
08:06it was easy.
08:08For me, it was more of a playground.
08:11It wasn't a job for me,
08:13it wasn't a craft.
08:14But it was like a game,
08:16a place for me to meet other people,
08:18to meet friends,
08:20to kiss their cheeks.
08:21You know?
08:22But that was before.
08:24Yes, but
08:26now you're studying.
08:28Isn't it hard to balance that?
08:30Because let's admit,
08:31to study in college,
08:33and at the same time,
08:34do this for a living,
08:35and actually become really very serious,
08:37if you want to make movies,
08:38where will you put yourself?
08:42It's really hard.
08:43It's just a matter of prioritizing things.
08:45Are you serious with your studying?
08:46Yes, I'm serious.
08:47Do you want to finish it?
08:48Yes, of course.
08:49Well, that's very good.
08:51Very few have that determination
08:53to actually finish school,
08:54and at the same time,
08:55be as determined in work.
08:58So I wish you all the luck,
08:59both in school,
09:00and both in your career.
09:02Best best.
09:03I hope you're always like this,
09:04in the mood.
09:06He's one of the most famous commercial directors,
09:08and not many of his works
09:10have won awards.
09:12Now, he's also one of the most busy directors
09:14in TV and concerts.
09:17His biggest contribution so far
09:19in Filipino pop culture
09:20is the music videos that he makes
09:22for local and international artists.
09:26Because of this,
09:27he was nominated by MTV
09:28as the King of Pop Music Videos.
09:31And now, in 2002,
09:32he will make his first movie.
09:35Betman Sis, as a movie director,
09:37who will make films
09:38that will be nominated in the Taquila Awards
09:40in 2002,
09:41is known for his brilliant visuals,
09:43unique lighting technique,
09:45and fast cutting.
09:46He's the one and only.
09:48Directed by Louis Mesh.
09:52You're going to make your first full-length movie.
09:54How do you feel?
09:55Are you nervous?
09:57My first movie,
09:58I'm not nervous,
10:00but I feel like I'm just going to make
10:03another MTV.
10:05Like a longer version of MTV?
10:07Yes, a longer version of MTV.
10:09Like a masterpiece of MTV.
10:11How did you prepare for this project?
10:15In the movie?
10:16Yes, in the movie.
10:17Because of course,
10:18you're already used to TV.
10:19In the movie, it's the same.
10:21This time,
10:22I'm watching a lot of Filipino films.
10:25Filipino films.
10:26In MTV,
10:27your preparation is listening to music.
10:29I'm listening to music.
10:31Then, I'm reading magazines.
10:33This time,
10:34I'm watching films.
10:36You need to research films.
10:38We're in the target market, right?
10:40Of course.
10:41What do Filipinos watch?
10:43What's popular in the market?
10:45I'm just going to improve.
10:48You're just going to put your touch.
10:50Yes, my touch.
10:51Something new.
10:54You think you're being an MTV director,
10:56commercial director,
10:58concert director,
10:59and now TV.
11:00Do you think,
11:01what do you think is your edge?
11:02There.
11:03What's your edge?
11:04You're different from others.
11:05Of course, you're going to be a movie director.
11:07Let's admit it.
11:08There's a tight competition there.
11:10And it's different.
11:11You're not just MTV.
11:12You're considered by MTV as
11:15the king of pop music videos.
11:17Yes, you're alone there.
11:19Right?
11:20You're the king of pop music videos.
11:22You're the winner.
11:23Asia.
11:24And not just in the Philippines.
11:25In Asia.
11:26In Asia.
11:27So of course,
11:28even if that's your tagline in the movies,
11:31you're different.
11:32So what do you think is your edge?
11:34I think my edge is
11:37more on
11:39technically,
11:41I've experienced a lot
11:44in technical,
11:45post-production,
11:47high-end equipment.
11:49I can apply that in movies.
11:51It's rare to use.
11:53Or I should say,
11:55I know how to use the equipment.
11:57Yes, the new ones.
11:59So I guess it's the freshness.
12:00Yeah.
12:01Also.
12:02The techniques.
12:03The use of equipment.
12:04Hopefully,
12:06the new ones will be the winners.
12:08Right, right.
12:09The teams.
12:10We need to introduce them.
12:12Do you have an idol?
12:13I have an idol.
12:15In television,
12:16my idol is Uncle Al.
12:18Al Quil.
12:19Al Quil.
12:20In movies?
12:21In movies,
12:23I don't have one.
12:26You don't have one?
12:27Because
12:28it's not like
12:29because
12:30my style is
12:33more on
12:34the new generation.
12:36So you don't have one?
12:37Romeo and Juliet
12:38are the ones I want to make movies about.
12:43Something new age?
12:44Yes, yes.
12:45Dream projects?
12:46Those are my dream projects.
12:47Romeo and Juliet,
12:49Leonardo DiCaprio.
12:50What are your apprehensions?
12:52Well,
12:53I don't know.
12:55Okay.
12:56In everything you do in MTV,
12:58here in CIS,
12:59in SOP,
13:00in your commercials,
13:02what is that Louis Ignacio touch?
13:06Louis Ignacio touch?
13:08It's MTV.
13:10Music video touch,
13:11modern,
13:12more on photography,
13:14fashion.
13:15Do you have an influence?
13:16What is your influence?
13:17I'm sure, of course,
13:18you research also.
13:20And you have your own ideas.
13:22What is your influence?
13:23Do you have anything?
13:25Actually,
13:26the commercials,
13:27where I come from,
13:28because in the commercials,
13:30there's the right photography,
13:32the right costuming,
13:34and everything,
13:35makeup,
13:36lighting,
13:37everything has to be perfect.
13:38So,
13:39commercials have a big influence on me.
13:41It's like,
13:42I apply the quality.
13:44That's what you'll bring?
13:46I'll bring that to the movies.
13:48You don't know,
13:49Direk is very helpful.
13:51He's always welcome to teaching new talents.
13:53New talents.
13:54And now,
13:55at the moment,
13:56you're just a princess.
13:57Direk Joyce.
13:59We would like,
14:00we want to ask you,
14:01your best bets for 2002.
14:03Let's start with the leading man.
14:05Okay.
14:06For leading man,
14:07it's Ding Dong Dantes.
14:09Ding Dong Dantes?
14:10Yes.
14:11Leading lady?
14:12I can see Tanya Garcia.
14:14Yes, she's big.
14:16Leading man and leading lady,
14:18they're a love team.
14:19Yes, they can be a love team.
14:20Recording artist?
14:21Recording artist,
14:23it's Gabby Eigenman.
14:25Who else?
14:26For male and female,
14:28it's Carol Vanawa.
14:30Yes, it's Carol.
14:31Character actor.
14:32There.
14:33Character actor.
14:40I can see Gabby as well.
14:42Because I'm usually with,
14:44Gabby Eigenman is also an actress.
14:46She's an actress.
14:47She's an actress.
14:48She's also a lady.
14:49She's an actress.
14:50She's an actress?
14:52If G-Tonji comes back,
14:53G-Tonji is perfect for me.
14:55Yes.
14:56Talk show host.
14:57Janice and Jenny.
15:00It can't be, right?
15:02It can't be, right?
15:03It can't be, right?
15:04If we're going to go that far,
15:05okay,
15:06let's say we're going to build our own bench,
15:09but our best bet for 2002 for movie directing is
15:15Louie Ignacio!
15:21We are sisters.
15:24Always be.
15:25We are sisters.
15:27We are sisters.
15:31Yay, 2002!
15:33Another sporting year has just begun.
15:35Now in SEAS,
15:37we'll talk about a new bet in sports
15:39where Gerard Cantada and Jennifer Rosales first built our flag,
15:44Golf.
15:46He joined the driving range and golf course of Gump Chan-He
15:50where Gump works.
15:52This is also where he was noticed for his golf skills.
15:55Now, he's consistent in top 5 in the national ranking
15:59and ranked 18 in the Golf World Cup.
16:02SEAS bets he can beat the country's Tiger Woods for 2002,
16:06Mars Fuhai.
16:07Okay, of course, we're with Mars.
16:09Mars, how old were you when you started?
16:13I was 8 years old
16:14when I started playing golf.
16:17I heard that's where you really work.
16:21You know, in the driving range,
16:23the ball bounces wherever it goes.
16:25Mars is one of those who catches the ball.
16:29So how did you get interested in golf?
16:32How did your interest start?
16:34Maybe because you're holding the ball,
16:37while no one is playing,
16:39you're the one who's bouncing.
16:41You're the one who's bouncing.
16:42That's where I learned how to play.
16:47Did you ever think that this is what you're going to do for a living?
16:52Actually, I never thought of that.
16:55I just kept playing.
16:57I never thought I'd become a pro.
17:01At the same time, I studied.
17:05I never thought I'd become a touring pro.
17:12So you started in Baguio, right?
17:14Yes, in Baguio.
17:15So you had mentors there.
17:17Who were the mentors?
17:18Yes, there were.
17:19Actually, the first one I got was a retired coast guard,
17:24Mr. Tampage, late Tampage.
17:28Father-in-law of Duong Lopez.
17:31Oh, yes.
17:33So he was the first one to get me there.
17:36What do you think about being a golfer?
17:39Is it innate?
17:40Is it like you were born to play golf?
17:43Or did you really learn it?
17:45Well, it's different.
17:48I learned it.
17:49So there are beginners like me, right?
17:52Yes, of course.
17:53Then they become pros.
17:55We played in the Goma Cup before.
17:58Don't say anything.
18:00We might have to end our interview.
18:05Of course, Mars Bukay is from Baguio.
18:09His parents, his father is an Ibaloy.
18:13And his mom is an Igarot.
18:15I'm sorry, Ifogaw.
18:17So in your culture,
18:18do you think your talent in playing golf helped you?
18:22No.
18:23Actually, I think I was the first professional Igarot golfer.
18:29Hello!
18:31How long have you been a turn pro?
18:34I was 24 years old.
18:3624.
18:37All this time, you've been fighting out of the country, right?
18:40Yes, I was a turn pro.
18:42My ranking was good in the first tournament.
18:45I was in second place, third place.
18:49That was my first tournament.
18:51What can you say about what's happening now in sports?
18:56Sometimes, a lot of people forget about it.
18:58A lot of people don't pay attention to it.
19:00And obviously, in golf,
19:02everyone thinks that golf is for the rich.
19:07If you're a pro, you're okay.
19:09But actually,
19:10now that I've noticed,
19:12since I learned how to play golf,
19:14I've been watching them.
19:15You thought I knew how to play.
19:18People tend to forget about golf in the government
19:23or in sports organizations.
19:26What can you say about what's happening now?
19:30I'm a professional turn pro.
19:33We only earn from sponsors in tournaments.
19:36And now, we're losing our sponsors.
19:42Not like four years ago,
19:44we had a lot of sponsors at the professional level.
19:48But now, we're losing them.
19:50He's one of the players in the Asian Tournament.
19:53Asian Tournament.
19:54How many are they?
19:55There are only eight of them.
19:56And Mars is one of them.
19:58He represents the Philippines.
20:00And Mars,
20:01is there a tournament that you can't forget
20:04that you joined?
20:06For winning the Philippine Amateur.
20:09Philippine Amateur.
20:11It's a good tournament for amateurs.
20:14To win a Philippine Amateur.
20:18Have you ever played a hole-in-one?
20:20It's my first time to play a hole-in-one.
20:24It's an old course,
20:25a nine-hole course.
20:27In Kanlubang, an old course.
20:28Oh, in Kanlubang.
20:30The oldest course,
20:31not the one in Kandong.
20:33Oh, because Kanlubang is different now.
20:35But you played a hole-in-one.
20:36How old were you?
20:37Twelve?
20:38No, I was twenty-two.
20:42You played a hole-in-one.
20:44It's my first hole-in-one.
20:46Do you still do dubbing?
20:48In pitching,
20:49sometimes.
20:50But once in a blue moon, maybe.
20:56Of course,
20:57before you hit,
20:58there are a lot of cameras.
20:59Yes.
21:00Right?
21:01You're not conscious
21:02before you hit
21:03that there are people in front of you.
21:04Right?
21:05No,
21:06it's just a habit.
21:08It's just a habit, right?
21:10Because that's life.
21:12Do you have idols?
21:14Of course,
21:15let's think of your idols
21:17here in the Philippines.
21:19My idol in the Philippines
21:20is Frankie Mignosa.
21:21Of course,
21:22Frankie Mignosa.
21:23Of course,
21:24our very own Frankie.
21:25Yes,
21:26you should be proud
21:27that he's reaping championships
21:29for the Philippines.
21:31Yes.
21:32Then,
21:33what else?
21:34What else do you want to achieve
21:37as a golfer?
21:38What else do you want to achieve?
21:40I just want to win
21:41in international tournaments.
21:43And of course,
21:44at the same time,
21:45we're eyeing on endorsement.
21:47Of course.
21:48Have you played with,
21:49I just want to know,
21:50have you played with the Tigers?
21:52Of course,
21:53you're a junior golfer.
21:54Have you played with Tiger Woods?
21:55In tournaments,
21:56we played in the World Cup
21:59of Golf in Malaysia.
22:01And you won?
22:02No,
22:03we didn't fly with Tiger Woods.
22:05He was there in the same tournament?
22:06Yes,
22:07same tournament.
22:08And how was Tiger Woods?
22:09Of course,
22:10they won.
22:11Of course,
22:12they won,
22:13but we didn't.
22:14Is that so?
22:16Aside from,
22:17of course,
22:18to attain a lot of things,
22:21what is your biggest dream in life?
22:26Well,
22:27to play in the bigger league
22:28like the USPGA.
22:31Would you like?
22:32Yeah,
22:33I would like to play there.
22:34How do you think you,
22:36how will you get in?
22:38In your opinion?
22:39You have to go through qualifying school.
22:42Yes.
22:43You have to go through the Q school,
22:46I think,
22:47that's around four stages.
22:49Like that?
22:50Yes.
22:51So,
22:52of course,
22:53you've been playing for a long time,
22:54what is your advice to the kids
22:56who also want to get in
22:58to play golf?
22:59Just avoid drugs,
23:01cigarettes,
23:02alcohol,
23:03drugs.
23:04Then,
23:07just practice.
23:09I mean,
23:10you just need to practice
23:12at least five times a week.
23:14Practice?
23:15Do you practice every day?
23:17Around five times a week,
23:18something like that.
23:19If it's Sunday or Saturday,
23:20you rest?
23:21No.
23:22Sometimes,
23:23when I'm with my bosses,
23:25I play with them.
23:28Good luck.
23:29This is Mars Kutay,
23:30our best bet in golf in 2002.
23:33More than you can imagine.
23:49Chigi Manigat has been a reporter
23:50for seven years,
23:51but she was only recognized
23:53by the CIA.
23:57Boss, boss!
23:58Don't shoot!
23:59Don't shoot!
24:00Don't shoot!
24:02Bernadette Sembrano
24:03is the most trusted
24:05solo newscast
24:06in GMA NewsLive,
24:07GMA Network News,
24:08and The Probe Team.
24:10They are the next ones
24:11to be featured
24:12in TV News in 2002,
24:15Bernadette Sembrano
24:16and Chigi Manigat.
24:18Our best bet
24:19for news and public affairs,
24:21Bernadette Sembrano
24:22and Chigi Manigat.
24:23Good morning.
24:24Good morning.
24:25In TV News,
24:26there are only a few top spots,
24:28but of course,
24:29there are a lot of people
24:30who are hoping for that.
24:31Do you believe
24:32that your career
24:34is because of
24:35luck opportunities?
24:36Like for example,
24:37did Bernadette's channel
24:39help you?
24:42Did it help you?
24:44Or for Chigi,
24:45did it help you
24:47when you got hit
24:48by the Edsat tree?
24:50Right?
24:51Those are things
24:52that sometimes
24:53you don't expect
24:54when you start.
24:55When Karen left me,
24:56basically,
24:57there was an opening
24:58in The Probe Team.
24:59So now,
25:00I'm trying to prove
25:01that if Karen was there,
25:02there wouldn't be
25:03an opening in The Probe.
25:04So that's the opportunity
25:05for me.
25:06So,
25:07in Chigi's case.
25:08In Chigi's case.
25:09Of course,
25:10I got hit.
25:13It's better
25:14because you're older.
25:16That's your trademark.
25:17Maybe in this industry,
25:19in news,
25:20you need something
25:21that will remind you.
25:23That will remind you.
25:24Like for artists,
25:25it has to be
25:26this big controversy.
25:27For you,
25:28it has to be
25:29this either
25:30big opportunity
25:31or something like yours.
25:33Like Ms. Jessica.
25:35The injury helped you.
25:36Ms. Jessica saw me
25:38in Spratlys
25:39without her airplane.
25:40So,
25:41it's good.
25:42You know,
25:43I hope
25:44I don't die in the field.
25:45But if you're alive,
25:46you'll be famous after.
25:48Yes, but still,
25:49it's like,
25:50wow,
25:51what do I have to do?
25:52What do I have to go through?
25:53When you think about it,
25:54all the reporters
25:56are fighting.
25:57You know,
25:58they're all
25:59dedicated.
26:01I mean,
26:02in fairness to everybody.
26:03Did you go to the field?
26:04Yes.
26:05With the probe team
26:06and with news as well.
26:07They all have the same exposure.
26:08Same training.
26:09Almost the same exposure.
26:10Same training.
26:11So, everyone can taste
26:12the baptism of fire.
26:13There's a chance
26:14that you got hit
26:15by whatever that was
26:16that hit you.
26:17But JB is really good.
26:18Actually,
26:19I've been watching him
26:20since this morning.
26:21I can't stop crying
26:22because it's really
26:23continuous.
26:24He can't cut directly.
26:25He can do it again.
26:26I hope I can cry.
26:27Right?
26:28It's hard when it's like that.
26:29But seriously,
26:30when did you first realize
26:31that you really wanted to do news?
26:32Did you really want to do news
26:34or was it sort of
26:35just to get in?
26:37Initially,
26:38when I graduated from college,
26:40I was in business administration
26:41at UP.
26:42So, I didn't know
26:43what job
26:44would be for me.
26:45I said,
26:46I'm not happy.
26:47I wanted something meaningful.
26:48I wanted to know
26:49what was happening
26:50all the time.
26:51I felt like I was inept
26:52when I didn't know
26:53what was happening.
26:54So, fortunately…
26:55You weren't happy
26:56when you read the journal.
26:57No.
26:58I said,
26:59I tried.
27:00I was interviewed
27:01on the other channel.
27:02I said,
27:03the cameramen were making fun of me.
27:04I said,
27:05why don't I report?
27:06They said,
27:07I graduated from BA.
27:08So, I realized
27:09that it was a blessing.
27:10I think,
27:11everything that I do now,
27:13more than anything,
27:14I think it's a blessing.
27:15Because there are a lot
27:16of Mascom graduates,
27:17but I'm here.
27:18So, I thought
27:19what was the blessing
27:20that I got?
27:21I have to give back
27:22to the world.
27:23It's basically that way.
27:24What could be
27:25the ultimate part
27:26of this job?
27:27The ultimate…
27:28Wow.
27:29This is it.
27:30This is it.
27:31What do you mean?
27:32This is it.
27:33This is it.
27:34I think I've reached
27:35what I really want.
27:36I feel like
27:37anyone of us
27:38is not happy.
27:39But you can see
27:40the satisfaction
27:41when you see
27:42that someone moved
27:43or something happened
27:44because of your story.
27:45For me,
27:46it's not…
27:47You might say,
27:48is it important
27:49for you to be…
27:50The next Mel Cianco?
27:51Yes.
27:52I mean, it's…
27:53Wow, right?
27:54But if that's your focus,
27:55it's like nothing will happen.
27:57You should think
27:58what's the…
27:59To do your best.
28:00Why are you there?
28:01I think I'm here
28:02not for myself,
28:03not to advance my career.
28:04I think I'm here
28:05because a lot of people
28:06are not…
28:07This is public service.
28:08Yeah, public…
28:09Inequality.
28:10You know,
28:11that in itself
28:12is public service.
28:13It should be justice.
28:14There are a lot of oppressed.
28:15So, I think
28:16that's the reason
28:17why I'm here.
28:18Maybe one…
28:19In my case,
28:20it's like,
28:21what happened?
28:22The biggest fulfillment for me
28:24is that I saved the…
28:26I saved the life
28:27of a death convict.
28:29The first woman
28:30who was executed.
28:31Ah, okay.
28:32Why?
28:33In 1998.
28:34Because,
28:35her biggest appeal was
28:36her stories were airy.
28:37It's airy.
28:38The public can see
28:39what her case is.
28:40It's a bit long.
28:41It's long,
28:42at least,
28:43it appeals to her.
28:44So,
28:45what we did,
28:46we can reveal it.
28:47We removed her voice tapes
28:48from the correctional,
28:49the batteries,
28:50and so on.
28:51Until it's airy,
28:52there will be
28:53public pressure.
28:54Then,
28:55her sentence
28:56was reversed.
28:57It's a life sentence.
28:58It's okay for her.
28:59But,
29:00if it's like that,
29:01you have to believe in her.
29:02Right?
29:03In a way, yes.
29:04What element
29:05did you believe
29:06that she should
29:07be given a chance?
29:08Because,
29:10she worked in Hong Kong
29:12as DH.
29:13When she came back,
29:14she had drugs in her suitcase.
29:16The suspect there
29:17was planted by her boss
29:19and she didn't know about it.
29:20So,
29:21she can't buy drugs
29:22worth 20 million in Hong Kong.
29:24Wow.
29:25So,
29:26that's one thing
29:27that I believe in.
29:28It's believability.
29:29Yes.
29:30How important is it
29:31in your opinion
29:32that she has a beautiful face?
29:36There's always
29:37this physical aspect
29:38that somehow,
29:39it's the first thing
29:40that attracts the viewers.
29:41I feel,
29:42I mean,
29:43with all honesty,
29:44of course,
29:45but,
29:46there are a lot of people
29:47in our industry
29:48that,
29:49right?
29:50Think about it,
29:51they're all beautiful.
29:52Their bodies are beautiful.
29:53They're glamorous.
29:54They're beautiful.
29:55But,
29:56there are a lot of people
29:57who aren't.
29:58There are a lot of people,
29:59I mean,
30:00we're not,
30:01I'm not a beauty queen.
30:02I'm not Mr. Universe.
30:03But,
30:04we're here.
30:06In GMA News,
30:08my observation is,
30:09it's like,
30:10they're looking at
30:11the capability
30:12of making stories.
30:14And you build
30:15your credibility
30:16in the long run.
30:17So,
30:18I think that's the most
30:19important thing here.
30:20It's not the looks.
30:21It's not the trend.
30:22It's the credibility.
30:23Because,
30:24if a person knows,
30:25and it's not just the station
30:26that he can see,
30:27if a person knows
30:28that this person,
30:29I trust this person,
30:30he's telling the truth.
30:31J.G. Malika
30:32is reporting that.
30:33Okay.
30:34So,
30:35we're on the credibility.
30:36Okay.
30:37There are some instances
30:38when people,
30:39people in politics,
30:40they venture into
30:41getting into
30:42public affairs programs.
30:43Do you think
30:44it really is
30:45advisable for them?
30:46Because,
30:47remember,
30:48politicians,
30:49there's always
30:50this continuous
30:51question
30:52of their credibility.
30:53It's a big question.
30:55It is.
30:56I think it is
30:57their option.
30:59Some people
31:00get their own show,
31:02probably,
31:03because they have
31:04the right connections.
31:05It happens.
31:06But,
31:07who will stop them
31:08from doing that?
31:09So,
31:10I think,
31:11who are we
31:12to say that
31:13it should be
31:14not there
31:15because he's just
31:16using it for
31:17his own interest.
31:18And,
31:19what's good about that
31:20is that the public
31:21can see
31:22how true
31:23what he's saying is.
31:24Are there things
31:25that you can't do?
31:26Nothing.
31:27Or,
31:28being part of
31:29the news
31:30and public affairs,
31:31are there things
31:32that,
31:33do you have to be
31:34extra careful
31:35because of that
31:36credibility that
31:37you are protecting?
31:38Well,
31:39maybe that's it.
31:40You can't
31:42personally involve.
31:43Yeah,
31:45more on that level.
31:46Sometimes,
31:47when you go out
31:48on the field,
31:49I mean,
31:50be professional about it.
31:51It's hard
31:52to see
31:53for example,
31:54a kind person
31:55will be close to you.
31:56But,
31:57when do you draw the line?
31:58Exactly.
31:59Professionalism.
32:00It's important
32:01when you air
32:02news,
32:03balance.
32:04That's it.
32:05If you're friends,
32:06no.
32:07If you're friends
32:08with a millionaire
32:09who's corrupt,
32:10air your side
32:11no matter what happens.
32:12Yes,
32:13because they need
32:14both sides.
32:15Yes, yes.
32:16But usually,
32:17those sources
32:18understand that
32:19they're not
32:20talking to each other
32:21because once they know
32:22that's the kind of job
32:23you have,
32:24they're not talking to each other.
32:25At least,
32:26they're giving their side.
32:27Yes, because
32:28how do you keep
32:29We all deserve to be
32:30How do you keep
32:31from stating
32:32your personal opinion?
32:33That is hard.
32:34I have biases.
32:36Of course,
32:37we all have biases.
32:38Yes, of course.
32:39It's important to be fair.
32:40That's it.
32:41It's important to have
32:42both sides.
32:43Present both sides.
32:44It's important
32:45to show your side.
32:46So,
32:47if your personal opinion
32:48is against
32:49the person you're interviewing,
32:51your delivery of the interview
32:53is like
32:54a rock.
32:55For me, it's not.
32:56You still face it.
32:58It's hard.
32:59You give him
33:00the questions
33:01that you want.
33:02It's natural
33:03when it comes to
33:04an interview.
33:05What do you want
33:06to ask him?
33:07Unless
33:08there are sources
33:09that
33:10talk about
33:11not asking
33:12that kind of question
33:13or not taking it.
33:14So,
33:15you have to respect that.
33:17One top story
33:18for you
33:19that you think
33:20should continue
33:21and end
33:22this 2002?
33:23You first.
33:24I'm thinking.
33:25Maybe
33:27related
33:28to the Arab case.
33:30What will happen?
33:31You think
33:32more than the Afghanistan war?
33:34I hope
33:35that
33:36there will be a chance.
33:38It's hard.
33:39It's hard, too.
33:40Is it hard?
33:41Because I think
33:42it's dragging on.
33:43What is the most
33:44important thing right now?
33:45At the moment?
33:46At the moment,
33:47the thing that
33:48you have to...
33:49The Arab issue
33:50has to be
33:51resolved, definitely.
33:52Because you'll see
33:53how determined
33:54the government is
33:55to at least...
33:57If...
33:58I mean,
33:59allegedly,
34:00the former president
34:01is a crook.
34:02If this is true,
34:03we should do something.
34:04But maybe
34:05we should also see
34:06other people
34:07as a scapegoat.
34:08Do you have fears
34:09to be demanded?
34:10No.
34:11I don't.
34:12It's a given.
34:13Because you should be
34:14responsible.
34:15It's as basic as that.
34:16Every time,
34:17when you don't
34:18want to assume,
34:19you always have to
34:20use the word
34:21allegedly.
34:22Allegedly.
34:23Allegedly.
34:24And you can
34:25remove it.
34:26You can be careful
34:27with the details.
34:28Accurate.
34:29No problem.
34:30Yes,
34:31if you're sure
34:32about the details,
34:33why would you air
34:34something you're not sure about?
34:35That's irresponsible.
34:36What's the name
34:37of this person?
34:38Pablo Opinion.
34:39That's your responsibility.
34:40It's horrible
34:41if you say
34:42he was killed
34:43and he wasn't killed.
34:44That's unfair
34:45to the person
34:46you're reporting.
34:48So see,
34:49in the spirit of fairness,
34:50it's necessary.
34:51It's their responsibility.
34:53Right?
34:54That's why they're
34:55the best bets
34:56in news and public affairs.
34:57Thank you very much.
35:00We are sisters.
35:02We are sisters.
35:05Always be.
35:06We are sisters.
35:08We are sisters.
35:11In 2001,
35:12we were plagued
35:13by the change of image
35:14of the former
35:15three boppers
35:16Asunta De Rossi,
35:17Raven Villanueva,
35:18and Rika Peralejo.
35:20Even though the music industry
35:21didn't escape
35:22the sexy trend.
35:24Sexy titillating divas
35:25also appeared,
35:26like May Rivera
35:27and Selena.
35:28Even Geneva Cruz
35:29joined in.
35:31It's expected that
35:32their popularity
35:33and daring this year
35:34will grow even more.
35:36But if there are
35:37those who make it sexy,
35:38of course,
35:39there are those
35:40who make it macho.
35:42Year 2002 prepares
35:43for the hot re-emergence
35:44of new screen
35:45and music hunks,
35:46Wendell Ramos,
35:47Juan Nic Bondo,
35:48and Jeffrey Nivar.
35:51Our macho bets
35:52for 2002,
35:54Wendell,
35:55Jeffrey,
35:57Wendell,
35:58Jeffrey,
35:59Juan Nic.
36:00Good morning.
36:01Good morning to you
36:02and welcome to Sis.
36:03Of course,
36:04we know that
36:05the decision you made
36:06will be controversial.
36:07The change of image
36:08in the year 2002.
36:10Are you ready
36:11for what will happen?
36:13Because,
36:14of course,
36:15everyone will be surprised
36:16that you suddenly
36:17made it sexy.
36:18Are you ready?
36:20Of course,
36:21we are ready.
36:22Before we
36:23enter
36:24this new image
36:26that you prepared.
36:28I don't know about Jeffrey,
36:29if he's ready.
36:31I didn't,
36:32because I started
36:33last year
36:34that my videos were sexy.
36:36But movies,
36:37maybe this year,
36:38but I'm not sure.
36:39It depends, actually.
36:40I'm with me.
36:42It started
36:43when I made the movie,
36:44Trip.
36:45Actually,
36:46I didn't think about it.
36:47Director Gilbert
36:48told me,
36:49come on,
36:50show yourself.
36:51Show yourself.
36:52Show yourself.
36:53After that,
36:54all the people
36:55were surprised.
36:56So,
36:57after that movie,
36:59suddenly,
37:00I got offers
37:01to make it sexy.
37:03Of course,
37:04he thought
37:05that he will do this.
37:06What preparation did you do?
37:08Aside from
37:09making your body beautiful,
37:10which is obvious
37:11that your body should be beautiful
37:12if you want to be sexy, right?
37:14Aside from that,
37:15because there are a lot of those.
37:16When you make yourself sexy,
37:18not only your body
37:19will be beautiful,
37:20your roles will also change.
37:22You will mature.
37:23You will mature.
37:24The good things will be over.
37:26Of course,
37:27others will mature.
37:28It will be a little bit darker.
37:30Of course,
37:31you have to be a little bit more sensual.
37:33You have to be...
37:34How did you escape
37:36your image of next door?
37:38Right?
37:39Guy next door.
37:40How did you escape that?
37:41With me,
37:42I didn't really think
37:43about being sexy
37:44because I want to be
37:45a versatile actor, right?
37:46For example,
37:47if someone gives me
37:49a project,
37:50I will still do well.
37:51If it's sexy,
37:52it's still okay, right?
37:53I want to explore everything.
37:55So, you will still do it?
37:56Yeah,
37:57I will still do it.
37:58Jeff?
37:59Maybe,
38:00for me,
38:01for the type of music,
38:02the songs are more serious.
38:04It's deeper.
38:05It's not like,
38:06can this be love?
38:08Actually,
38:09you can still do it.
38:11Are you singing that song?
38:13Maybe,
38:14I will do more serious ballads
38:15for this
38:16because I'm making
38:17an album again this year.
38:18Oh,
38:19Lissie Wendel.
38:20Maybe,
38:21for acting,
38:22acting-wise,
38:23I will go deeper
38:24because,
38:25of course,
38:26the roles that we're doing
38:27are different.
38:28It's different.
38:29So,
38:30it's deeper.
38:31Maybe,
38:32our studies are deeper.
38:33Maybe.
38:35Wendel,
38:36it's like,
38:37it's just for a short time.
38:38One week,
38:39you're just following
38:40your TGIS colleagues.
38:41Those who are already sexy,
38:42Raven,
38:43Angelo,
38:44Rica,
38:45right?
38:46Then,
38:47Jeffrey,
38:48Geneva is really going sexy,
38:49right?
38:50Of course,
38:51she's my sister.
38:52Sister?
38:53I have to follow her steps
38:54because she's my sister.
38:55You're all sisters.
38:56They're really sisters.
38:57Geneva is your sister.
38:59Wendel,
39:00his colleagues,
39:01they're all different.
39:02You really don't have...
39:03They're Michael B.
39:04Yes.
39:05Bubble Gang.
39:06They're also sexy.
39:07Bubble Gang.
39:08His movie is also sexy.
39:10No,
39:11it's not.
39:12It's different.
39:14It's like,
39:15it's really different.
39:16My face.
39:18You're not satisfied
39:20or you're not confident
39:22in your careers.
39:24I mean,
39:25doing what you used to do
39:27like,
39:28of course,
39:29comedies,
39:30and youth-oriented films,
39:32and Jeffrey,
39:33he's like,
39:35he's into
39:36sweet music.
39:38Sometimes,
39:39there comes a time
39:40when you're tired.
39:41As an actor,
39:42you want more challenging
39:44and meet your goals.
39:45So,
39:46your skills will be enhanced.
39:48You won't be left behind
39:49in Love Team Love.
39:51Yes.
39:52You want to be different.
39:53Because,
39:54when that happens,
39:55you get burned out.
39:57You want something more.
39:58If you're getting tired,
40:00then, of course,
40:01the audience,
40:02they want to be different.
40:03Yes, different.
40:04For me,
40:05I had to change.
40:06I had to change.
40:07I didn't change my image,
40:09but I had to bear
40:11a little more.
40:12A little bit.
40:13A little bit.
40:14Because,
40:15sometimes,
40:16the image of this guy
40:17from Smoky Mountain
40:18still sticks with me.
40:19He still thinks I'm young.
40:20Young.
40:21So, when I did his videos,
40:22he said,
40:23yes, he's old.
40:24Yes,
40:25Jeffrey is really old.
40:27But, it's okay.
40:29He's tired.
40:31Wow.
40:32Okay.
40:33You want to be sexy.
40:34Who are your dream leading ladies?
40:39I have a lot.
40:40Okay.
40:42Top of your head.
40:45For me,
40:46it's Rika.
40:47Rika.
40:48She's already married.
40:49You already have a partner.
40:50Rika.
40:51Who else?
40:53Ara.
40:54There.
40:55Ara.
40:56There's a lot more.
40:57You're holding a lot of things.
40:59You know who I'm talking about.
41:01Who do you want?
41:02I don't know yet.
41:03I want Jelly DeBren.
41:04Yes.
41:05Oh, my.
41:06You're our guest.
41:09Who do you want?
41:11You, Jelly.
41:12Okay, Jeffrey.
41:13If you're going to be sexy,
41:15it's okay.
41:17It's up to you, Juan Miguel.
41:19For me,
41:20if I'm going to make a movie,
41:24it's Rosanna Rosas.
41:26Wow.
41:27What kind of movie will you make,
41:29Riosang?
41:32It can be wholesome.
41:33It can be sexy.
41:34Because,
41:35I've seen Riosang before.
41:36It's different.
41:37I can see Juan's face.
41:39It's like,
41:40it's like a cutie pie boy next door.
41:45How can you change your look?
41:48For me,
41:49it's how you do it.
41:51If you feel like you're matured,
41:53that's what people will see in you.
41:57That's what's challenging.
41:59How can you reach a person
42:01who's matured.
42:03I'm a bit…
42:05I'm in my mid-twenties.
42:07Macho.
42:08It's all about being comfortable with yourself,
42:11with your body,
42:12with your acting.
42:13You're done with the awkward stage.
42:15In short, you have to be confident.
42:17With everything.
42:18With everything that you do.
42:20Let's see how serious you guys are
42:22with this decision.
42:24How do you anticipate
42:26or are you willing
42:28or do you know that you will need to do this
42:30and would you be willing to do this?
42:32Butt exposure.
42:36You already did that.
42:37You already did that.
42:38Yeah, I already did that.
42:39Jeff.
42:40I was slightly in the video.
42:42Butt exposure.
42:43It's not just here.
42:46You're butt.
42:49I'll be doing it by next year.
42:51I'll be doing a movie with us until next year.
42:54There's that.
42:56Frontal nudity.
42:58Oops.
42:59Oops.
43:01Maybe I haven't thought about it yet.
43:04Let's say frontal.
43:06But that's the only thing that's covered.
43:08Is that okay for you?
43:09That's okay.
43:10Or like silhouettes.
43:12That's okay.
43:14For me, if it's going to be done in good taste
43:16and if I trust the director,
43:18yeah, I'm going to do it.
43:19But I want it to be covered.
43:21No, it's really frontal.
43:24That's a triple X.
43:25Bumping.
43:26Bumping scene.
43:27That's okay.
43:28That's okay.
43:29You guys are men.
43:30Gay love scene.
43:32Maybe when I get older,
43:34because right now,
43:35I can handle women.
43:37When I get older,
43:38and when I mature,
43:40my mind will be more open.
43:42As an actor,
43:43I might be able to handle it.
43:44Jeff?
43:45Because I'm not really an actor.
43:48You're an actor.
43:49You can do movies too.
43:51Yeah, yeah.
43:52But maybe if I'm already known as a serious actor,
43:55maybe I'll do it.
43:57But I don't think I can do it yet.
43:58Because a lot of people don't know
44:00what Jeff is really like.
44:01Is he going to sing or is he going to act?
44:03Yes.
44:04So, you're very willing.
44:06First and foremost,
44:07I'm a singer.
44:08But it's okay for me to do some acting.
44:10But my priority is my singing.
44:12So, if it's going to hurt my singing career,
44:14anything that could hurt my singing career,
44:16I won't do it.
44:17Den, what about you?
44:18Me too.
44:19Gay love scene.
44:20It's okay.
44:21It depends on the type of movie
44:23or the director you're talking to.
44:25Sometimes, it really depends.
44:27It depends on the movie.
44:28What about indecent proposals?
44:30Have you ever received one?
44:32Jeffrey said he received one.
44:34No, I'm just kidding.
44:37Have you ever received one?
44:39Rumors that you have a sugar mommy.
44:45Stuff like that.
44:46Where?
44:47Where?
44:48Where is he?
44:49I hope you can feel it.
44:51How about you, Wendel?
44:52Me?
44:53No.
44:54Me?
44:55I don't think so.
44:56Because I was like this when I was young.
44:59He was like this when he was young.
45:01Okay.
45:02Face the camera one by one
45:04and tell us what they should expect from you
45:08when your image matures.
45:10Okay?
45:11Who should I start with?
45:12Wanmig.
45:15I'm more daring Wanmig
45:17and I'm a more serious actor.
45:19Like,
45:21deeper.
45:22Wanmig will be different next year.
45:25Jeff.
45:28Maybe I'm more daring,
45:30more bearing,
45:31but most of all,
45:34higher level of musicality as a singer.
45:38Wendel.
45:39I'm also more daring and a serious actor.
45:43As in sexy, serious actor.
45:47Okay.
45:48Definitely.
45:49A lot of people will love Jeffrey Wanmig and Wendel.
45:54But what's more exciting
45:56are the talents which can really sustain our interest.
46:01I'll be back.
46:26Pusya, Green, and Orange.
46:28A lot more,
46:29especially when there's a lot of hair colors.
46:33Maybe for 2002,
46:35we'll see more news
46:39about stand-up comedians
46:42like Tood.
46:43They're just standing.
46:45Maybe for 2002,
46:47it'll be more on ad-lib.
46:51That's it.
46:53For 2002,
46:54I bet Jiggy Dines and I will have a show at CES.
46:58Keep your fingers crossed.
47:00You're done.
47:02For 2002,
47:03I bet
47:05we'll have shoes of the same style
47:07but different colors.
47:08You can wear them
47:10in different colors.
47:11And for the pants,
47:13you can wear them upside down.
47:15And for the underwear,
47:19even if there's a hole in the back,
47:20it's fine.
47:23I bet in 2002,
47:25more men will be popular
47:28with long hair.
47:29Like me.
47:32And for fashion,
47:36actually,
47:37I don't know.
47:38Maybe anything.
47:40Which one is more comfortable?
47:43For 2002,
47:44I bet
47:46there will be more
47:49fit men.
47:51With beautiful bodies.
47:52Even for girls.
47:53Sexy.
47:54Just workout.
47:56With beautiful bodies.
47:58Fit men.
47:59That's my bet for this 2002.
48:03And those are our bets for 2002.
48:07Bye!
48:09UI for you.

48:49We can't.
48:50We can't go there.
48:56Something like that.
48:58Since you're holding the bat,
49:00while no one's playing,
49:02you're the one who's batting.
49:04You're just batting.
49:06Miss Jessica Soho before,
49:07in Spratlys,
49:08she didn't have an aeroplane.
49:09So,
49:10she's beautiful.
