00:00It's been a while, but honestly, I've been good, Tito Boy.
00:09Change of pace for me, being in the limelight for a while, during that time being the center
00:14of attention, then suddenly focus on family.
00:17So it was a big turnaround for me.
00:19And I wouldn't have it any other way, honestly.
00:22How difficult was that turnaround?
00:26Well, it was difficult in the sense that I worked every day before, and then I'm stuck
00:32at home with the babies, and then in my case, and also my wife, we have kids one after the other.
00:39You have three, right?
00:39Yes, we have three kids.
00:42They're all—
00:42Seven, five, four?
00:44Seven, five, and four, Tito Boy, correct.
00:45And when they're together, it's complete chaos.
00:49But it's awesome.
00:51I wouldn't have it, like I said, I wouldn't have it any other way.
00:53It's really fun to be a father.
00:55Okay, so involved with the kids, meaning hands-on talaga?
01:00Yes, I wake up in the morning to wake them up to go to school.
01:04Ako naghahatin sa kanila.
01:05I'm the one who picks them up.
01:07As in, pretty much my world is really them.
01:11It's really my family.
01:12Jeff and you are happy?
01:13Yes, very happy.
01:14Kasama mo ang mini-me mo, sabi mo ba?
01:16Yes, yes, we're all this, yes.
01:18Paano ka binago?
01:19I mean, ano pa ang mga pagbabago na nangyari sa buhay mo dahil sa iyong mga anak?
01:23Because of fatherhood.
01:25I guess kasi the biggest change when you're a father, you tend to look inside more.
01:32Kasi ako, in my case, maraming nangyayari sakin na,
01:37Uy, I react a certain way to my kids.
01:40And after that happens, I think na, bakit ko ginawa yun?
01:44Honestly, I've never apologized so much in my life since having kids.
01:49Kasi sunod-sunod na, bigla ko nalaman na I'm such a hothead pala
01:53when it comes to like little things and all that.
01:55So what do you apologize for sa iyong mga anak?
01:59For ano, mostly being out of line.
02:03Kasi they are kids, it's hard for them to grasp certain things
02:08kasi they don't understand the world fully yet.
02:10So iba yung mundo ng bata sa mundo ng matanda.
02:14Siyempre, as much as possible, I try to explain myself to my kids na,
02:20it's because daddy's having a bad day, that's why I reacted that way.
02:23So I have to explain more things.
02:25And yun yan, I tend to apologize kasi nga lagi akong pumipitik.
02:30And it's not their fault.
02:31And have you become more giving?
02:33Have you become more patient?
02:35That's the word.
02:36Yes, yes.
02:37Ever since our firstborn, sobrang anlaki ng pagbabago na,
02:41especially now with our youngest who's four years old na,
02:43napansin namin ang wife ko na iba.
02:47The way we handle things with our youngest is different from our firstborn and our secondborn.
02:54So parang, kasi dun sa udang dalawa, we were still learning.
02:58So now it's more of like, we have everything under control.
03:02And everything, mas educated na kami about being parents.
03:06So it's easier this time around.
03:08Sinabi mo kanina na, you've never apologized more than, I mean, this stage in your life.
03:15At saka, ang pinanggalingan mo kasi, isang mundo.
03:16Sabi mo, ngayon fatherhood has made you look inside.
03:21Yes.
03:22And you were coming from a job, coming from a business,
03:24when the external, when presentation is what we live for.
03:30Yes, yes.
03:30Ano ang perception ng tao.
03:32Validation from an audience.
03:34Mahusaya akong artista.
03:35Gwapo akong artista.
03:37So that was where I was coming from when I was asking about the pivot, yung pag-ikot.
03:43Oo.
03:44Hindi ka naman masyadong nahirapan.
03:47It was quite an adjustment.
03:48It was a mind-bender, if I can say.
03:51Talaga?
03:52Yeah.
03:52Kasi totally different world talaga sya.
03:54Kaya pag-artista ka, you do play with your emotions on screen and all that.
04:01Pero it's, when you're an actor, when you're a public figure,
04:04it's hard to wear your heart on your sleeve.
04:07Tama.
04:07Because everybody will see.
04:10You can't have a bad day and show it to people.
04:12You should always have the…
04:14So ganun.
04:14So in a sense, medyo nagguluhan lang ako.
04:17But now everything's better.
04:20I'm at a better place now.
04:21Mas understanding of what's going on in my life.
04:23So happy.
04:24Jeff, did you imagine na mararating mo ang stage nito?
04:28Not this way.
04:29Not this way.
04:30I've always imagined myself na maaga akong magkakakids and all that.
04:35But technically, I'm a late bloomer.
04:37How are you as a husband?
04:39I would like to say I'm sweet.
04:41You are.
04:41Yeah.
04:43But I also have my shortcomings.
04:45That's for sure.
04:46No one is perfect.
04:47I mean, ako I always say that.
04:49Not because people say it.
04:51Wala hong perfectong tao.
04:52Lahat tayo may pitik.
04:54Yes.
04:54Lahat tayo may…
04:55Di ba?
04:56Yeah.
04:57Lahat naman tayo.
04:58We all have our aches.
05:01In my case, masarap lang kasi I found someone who understands
05:04what's going on in me, with me.
05:06So I explain to her.
05:09We talk about things.
05:10We're always on the same page about everything.
05:13Through our eight years together, maraming na kaming pinagdaanan.
05:17I'm sure that we're still going to be going through so much more stuff.
05:21But we're a team.
05:23It's going to be hard to stop us.
05:24Pero bilang isang artista, as a public figure, nami-miss mo?
05:28Yes.
05:29You do miss me?
05:30Yes, yes.
05:31I do.
05:31Wow, okay.
05:32It's something that I pretty much grew up in.
05:35Our whole family does it.
05:37I've done it ever since I was young.
05:39It's an understatement.
05:40Your whole family.
05:41And then your whole clan.
05:43Yes, yes.
05:44So it's good to be here again.
05:48Being inside the studios.
05:50Feeling nostalgic because of how my life was like 20 years ago.
05:55So it's been a while, but it's still in the blood.
05:59I don't think it'll ever go away.
06:01Yeah.
06:01Ang tanong dito, it's in the blood.
06:05Bukas ka kung isa sa mga anak o lahat sila ay sabihin,
06:08Pa, gusto kong mag-artista.
06:11Are you open?
06:12Honestly, today before coming here, my youngest daughter, who's four years old, had a school play.
06:19Yes, and she was spectacular.
06:22I'm not being biased or anything, but she was really so cute.
06:25She played Snow White.
06:26And sobrang happy lang ako.
06:28It brought a tear to my eye watching her perform.
06:30But honestly, with your question, Tito Mario, it's really up to them.
06:34The same thing my parents did to us.
06:37Mike and Gina.
06:38Yes.
06:41They gave us the option to choose if we want to be in show business or not.
06:45And that's beautiful.
06:46That's what we're gonna do with them.
06:48With your children.
06:49Okay.
08:08So
08:26You
