00:00How many years have you been in the industry?
00:03You're chit-chatting, Ms. Pia.
00:07I don't believe it.
00:08My signal is strong.
00:12Earlier, you asked me about Bubblegum, right?
00:15Yes.
00:17Ms. Pia, I'll just answer you once.
00:21When Bubblegum started, that was the start of my career.
00:23I was only one year ahead in a movie.
00:25So, fine.
00:27So, it's been 29 years.
00:30Wow, 29 years.
00:32So, Bubblegum was your first television show?
00:35First television show, my first project.
00:38Actually, it was my second project before Bubblegum.
00:41But, Bubblegum aired first.
00:43I did a movie with Jelly the Villain and Joe Marillangi.
00:47That was my first project in the industry.
00:51That's why it's a movie.
00:52It aired last.
00:53Bubblegum aired first.
00:56Can we move forward a bit?
00:58I'm curious.
01:00How did you end up in Bubblegum?
01:02Did you like comedy?
01:05That's funny.
01:08You know, this Bubblegum really helped me a lot
01:12to improve my craftsmanship in a way.
01:16Pardon me.
01:17I don't know how to lift a bench.
01:19But, Bubblegum really gave me a lot.
01:23I'm a naughty person.
01:24I'm a happy person.
01:25Maybe because I'm a commercial actor,
01:27I know how to create art.
01:29But, we did Bubblegum.
01:30It's a different world.
01:31Because, I thought you're just naughty.
01:33But, no.
01:34Everything is okay.
01:35So, it's like you're in a theater.
01:37So, I can't say I like Bubblegum.
01:40I thought comedy is just like that.
01:42I thought it's just like that.
01:44Naughty.
01:45But, it's not.
01:46So, it really teaches you.
01:48It's not like when you have a line,
01:50you can laugh right away.
01:52No.
01:53You have to be a part of the scenario,
01:56the situation.
01:57It's not like Michael B. Lang.
01:59He's the only one doing the punchline.
02:01No.
02:02You're working as a team.
02:03So, it really gave me a lot.
02:06Personally,
02:08maybe that's why I was able to create art in a way.
02:10Even if it's soap opera,
02:13I'm not shy anymore.
02:15Because, in Bubblegum,
02:17we're all okay.
02:19For example,
02:20if you give me a policeman character
02:22or a thief,
02:24you don't have to make me laugh.
02:26You don't have to be shy.
02:28You have to act it in a normal way.
02:31But, you have to raise your energy.
02:35The energy level is different, right?
02:37Yes.
02:38You don't have to make me laugh.
02:39If you're a policeman,
02:40you're okay.
02:41Everything is okay.
02:42Just exaggerate.
02:43So, that's what gave me,
02:45on my part,
02:46in all of our casts.
02:48That's why they're direct stars.
02:50It's like they're playing stars.
02:52They're handsome.
02:53Michael is not just playing.
02:56So,
02:57it was a big, big blessing for me.
02:59I thought it was just for fun.
03:01It takes time.
03:03But, wow.
03:04But, there's a lot of learning.
03:05I miss him.
03:06I miss him.
03:07And,
03:08he's beautiful.
03:09That's why,
03:10Ms. Pia,
03:11these are the people
03:12from the Saturday Night Live show abroad.
03:17They came from there.
03:18Bill Kristal,
03:19Kevin Bacon,
03:20the comedians.
03:21Adam Sandler.
03:22Adam Sandler.
03:23Adam Sandler.
03:24He's sticking with comedy.
03:25He's doing it now.
03:26But, Robin Williams,
03:27the ones who did comedy.
03:29But, yeah.
03:30Especially, Kevin Spacey.
03:31He was there.
03:32Yes.
03:33Wow.
03:34But, he's good.
03:35Hugh Jackman.
03:36So, it's really different.
03:37The gag shows are theatrical.
03:38So,
03:39I got in there.
03:40That's great.
03:41Yeah.
03:42The one who discovered us
03:43was the late Douglas Quijano.
03:44The one who discovered us.
03:45Ah.
03:46Okay.
03:47He's one of us.
03:48He became your manager.
03:50He's the one who discovered me.
03:51Ah.
03:52Okay.
03:53Okay.
03:54Until now,
03:55do you still have group chats
03:56with your ex-colleagues in Bobagang?
03:58Do you still see each other?
03:59Do you still talk to each other?
04:00Facebook?
04:01Like that.
04:02No.
04:03We don't really talk to each other anymore.
04:05Maybe because
04:06we have our own errands.
04:08Or,
04:09but definitely,
04:10I hope
04:11that they miss us too.
04:13In a way.
04:14Because,
04:15even though,
04:16yeah,
04:17Antonio,
04:18I don't see him anymore.
04:19I don't talk to him anymore.
04:20But definitely,
04:21when we see each other,
04:23or meet each other,
04:24he's just there.
04:25He's a part of your life.
04:27They're Michael B.
04:28Ah.
04:29They're Direct Toy.
04:30We call Michael B.
04:31So,
04:32Direct Toy.
04:33Even Oggy Alcazar.
04:34Oggy,
04:35when we see each other,
04:36because he went to
04:37another network,
04:38the other one,
04:39to ABN.
04:40Ah.
04:41So,
04:42when we see each other,
04:44we're so glad.
04:45Because,
04:46they're also part of our network.
04:47Yes,
04:48of GMA.
04:49Yes.
04:50It's fun, right?
04:51Yes.
04:52Maybe you'll work together again.
04:54Yes.
04:55Let's talk about the OG version,
04:57the old school,
04:59or the more mature ones.
