00:00Within four decades, Mimi Villarreal was recognized as one of the best jazz dancers in the country.
00:08But despite her successes, she faced a big problem in her life once upon a time.
00:14This is her story.
00:30My name is Mimi Villarreal.
00:47I am a professional dancer.
00:51I have been dancing for the longest time in Douglas Niera's Power Dance.
00:56Since 1990 until now.
01:00Prior to that, when I was still in grade school,
01:03my dad would get tickets from his work to shows in CCP.
01:09And the first time I told myself I wanted to be a dancer
01:14was when I saw Ramahari by Ballet Philippines choreographed by our national artist,
01:22Alice Reyes, national artist in dance.
01:25That's when I fell in love.
01:27That's when I imagined myself on stage.
01:31That was the first time.
01:32I don't remember how old I was, but I was still in grade school.
01:36I said to myself, I will become a dancer.
01:39A well-known performing artist,
01:41her love for dancing came from her early participation in the world of theater.
01:48We got involved in theater and we loved it.
01:52Because theater is an integrated art,
01:55there's dance, there's movement and dance.
01:58Aside from acting, aside from visual arts, script writing.
02:04And of course, movement and dance became my favorite.
02:07I enrolled in ballet.
02:09I think I became a teacher to all the talented ballet teachers in the Philippines.
02:15But I didn't learn ballet.
02:16I didn't feel that I needed the strength and the technique.
02:21Tapos I would enroll.
02:23Outside of PETA, ako and a partner, ako and another dancer in PETA,
02:31we would go to all the dance schools.
02:34We would go to CCP workshop.
02:38We would go to the Met.
02:41And when there are guest dance companies who gave master classes,
02:46we would be the ones sent by PETA.
02:48In one of their commission shows,
02:52bigla akong in-ask ni Tito Douglas.
02:56Studente lang ako no na.
02:59Mimi, pumunta ka sa rehearsals.
03:03Sa pagdating ko sa rehearsals,
03:05meron ang tinuro sakin, nabilis, four dances.
03:08Kasi bakit daw?
03:09Tomorrow na yung show. Bukas na.
03:13Siguro mga one week na sila nag-rehearse.
03:15Bakit ako napunta dun?
03:17Kasi hindi dumating yung isang dancer.
03:21The day before rehearsals.
03:23So photo finish, inaral ko lahat ng sayaw.
03:26And nag-perform na ako at power dance.
03:29So nag-remember na ako ng power dance.
03:31Wala nang balikan yun.
03:33Sa kabila ng kanyang makulay na karera,
03:36maraming pagsubok ang hinarap ni Mimi.
03:38Kabila nga, ang pagkasira ng tahanan kinhenya
03:42sa kasagsagan ng bagimondoy.
03:45Umabot sa second floor ng bahay,
03:47yung baha ng undoy, in Antipolo.
03:51Because the house was located in the area
03:56that's a catch basin.
03:58It's beside a creek.
04:00Tapos ang daming nang kinalbo
04:03ng mga parts ng bundok.
04:05Ginawang subdivisions, upstream.
04:08Nabasa lahat yung piano ko.
04:10By the way, I used to play the piano.
04:14So yung piano ko nasira.
04:18In the account ko nun,
04:20aning nasako na libro tapo na lahat.
04:24So maraming nawala.
04:26So nung nakikita ko yung sunog,
04:29parang hindi na rin new na nakikita kong nasisira
04:33na kinakain ng apoy yung laman ng second floor.
04:40Noong ika-isa ng huyo,
04:42isang trahedya ang muling dumating
04:44na masunog ang bahay ni Mimi.
04:47First experience ko yung nasunog,
04:50na nadamay yung bahay ko sa sunog.
04:53Nagsimula doon sa sunog
04:55nung bahay sa likod namin na nakadikit.
04:58Bahay yun ng mga pinsan ko.
05:01Gabi yun, after 11pm,
05:04buti nalang gising ako.
05:06I was on the phone.
05:07Tapos nagsisigawan yung mga tao sa labas.
05:10Yung sabi,
05:11labas na kayo dyan, labas na kayo dyan lahat.
05:13So I had no idea na may sunog.
05:16Wala naman kasi sumisigaw ng sunog, sunog.
05:19So I guess,
05:20dahil nakikita nila yung susunog,
05:21wala nang sisigaw ng sunog.
05:23So akala ko nun,
05:24na baka meron lang nagwawala na tao
05:28na nakapasok doon sa gate namin.
05:31Kasi yung pala,
05:32yung apoy,
05:33nagsimula,
05:34nagsimula sa second floor nung kapitbahay.
05:37So imagine,
05:38kung tulog ako nun,
05:39wala akong aamoy,
05:40e di,
05:41at hindi ko rin may,
05:43kung tulog ako,
05:44hindi ko maririnig yung sigawan
05:46kasi tulog ako, tulog.
05:49So,
05:50kinuha ko lang yung backpack ko,
05:52yung gamot ko sa,
05:53yung essential oils ko
05:55para sa elevated blood pressure.
05:59Tapos,
06:00naalala ko yung isang bag ng mga artworks
06:03na hindi pa naframe ng isang best friend ko,
06:06isang madami yun.
06:08So,
06:09isa yun sa mga most precious,
06:12valuable na meron dun sa,
06:14dun lang sa baba ng bahay ko
06:16kasi sa taas,
06:17hindi na ako aakyat doon.
06:18Kinuha ko lang yun,
06:19sandali na,
06:20lumabas na ako.
06:21Bagamat masakit ang pangayaring ito,
06:24hindi na tinagsinimi.
06:25Para sa kanya,
06:26ang mga material na bagay
06:28ay hindi kasing halaga
06:31at kapatagan.
06:33Sabi nung sumaklolo sa amin,
06:38na isang cousin-in-law ko,
06:40Ate, ate, ano ka nga nun eh?
06:42Relax na relax lang nga nun eh,
06:44hindi ko nga nagpapanik at all.
06:45It was,
06:46kasi secure ako,
06:47nakuha ko na yun,
06:49nakuha ko na yung artworks nung kaibigan ko,
06:52nakuha ko na yun,
06:53gumagamot ko,
06:55wala naman ako magagawa.
06:57At saka na-experience ko yung undoy.
06:59Pinaka,
07:00ang daming mga halagang na wala kasi dun eh,
07:02mga photos na hindi pa digital,
07:05at saka yung nga yung mga libro ko.
07:07So yun,
07:08dahil second experience yun ng calamity,
07:10hindi,
07:11hindi na ako masyadong affected.
07:14Dagdag pa ni Mimi,
07:16hindi ang bagyong undoy
07:17o ang sunog
07:18ang pinakamabigat na pagsubok na kanyang hinarap.
07:21Para sa kanya,
07:22ang pinakamasakit
07:24ay ang hindi siya nakapagsayaw
07:26noong kasagsagan ng pandemia.
07:28Tapos na yung lockdown,
07:29so pwede na kaming magkiklase.
07:31May point,
07:32wala akong pamasahe.
07:34Ang lapit na nga, ha?
07:36Nandiyo na lang sa Pasig,
07:37nasa Antipolo ko.
07:38Yung pamasahe ko dyan,
07:39ano na lang,
07:40lalakad ako sa jeep,
07:4225 pesos.
07:44Kung mag-EFX ako,
07:45kung mag-Vavana ko,
07:4735 pesos.
07:48Hindi ako magka-tricycle,
07:49so yun lang ang kailangan ko.
07:51Pero may times,
07:52after the lockdowns,
07:54mamimili ako kung magpapab...
07:56Bibili ako ng food,
07:58o bibili ako ng pamasahe.
08:00Siyempre,
08:01hindi naman pwedeng nang kumain.
08:03Pagpunta ako doon,
08:04wala akong lakas, di ba?
08:05So yun yung iniiyak ko noon.
08:07Ang tragic na iniiyak ko,
08:10tsaka na-depressed ako,
08:12yung wala kaming sayaw
08:15noong entire lockdown.
08:18And we don't know,
08:20nagtatawagan kami,
08:22we don't know hanggang kailan,
08:25di ba?
08:26Hindi natin alam.
08:27Grabe talaga to,
08:29itong COVID na to,
08:31na yun talaga pa,
08:33ninakaw yung buhay.
08:35Yung pakiramdam mo,
08:37ninakaw yung buhay mo.
08:39Wala, wala yung fire nga yan,
08:40wala yung sinabi.
08:41Kasi araw-araw,
08:43kami nagsasayaw e.
08:45Noong nasa Shangri-La, di ba?
08:47Araw-araw ang klase.
08:49Araw-araw.
08:50Dati, noong bata-bata ako,
08:52pag may araw na hindi ako nakasayaw,
08:54ang pangit ng pakiramdam.
08:56Importante ang to live in the present.
08:59Isang mahalagang aral na itinuro sa kanya
09:01ng pagsasayaw.
09:03Gawin mo lang yung dapat gawin.
09:05Presence of mind lang.
09:07Siguro ako, I'm a very present tense person.
09:10Siguro yung ganitong pagtingin,
09:12alam mo, nakuha ko rin sa sayaw yan.
09:14Kasi yung training sa sayaw,
09:16ganun din.
09:18Present tense.
09:19Hindi ka pwedeng iniisip mo yung nakaraan,
09:22hindi mo pwedeng iniisip mo kung ano pa yung susunod.
09:25Magta-train ka para maging equipped ka
09:28na yung susunod magagawa mo
09:30kasi nirehearse mo yun.
09:32Pero, kailangan nandun ka sa present moment.
09:36Kung ano yung lift na kailangan mo gawin.
09:39Nandyan ka.
09:41Hindi pwedeng advanced.
09:43Para sa isang artist tulad niya,
09:45ang sining ng pagsasayaw
09:47ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng kanyang pagkatao
09:49na nagbibigay ng kulay at saya sa kanyang buhay.
09:53Hindi ko mai-imagine yung sarili ko
09:56na may buhay na hindi nagsasayaw.
10:00So, ibig sabihin nun,
10:02hindi pwedeng mawala yung sayaw sa buhay ko.
10:06So, I would say siguro it's a calling.
10:08Yung paniwala ko,
10:10hindi ka naman tatawagin ng Diyos
10:13gumawa ng isang bagay na ayaw mo.
10:15Ayaw mo, hindi mo love gawin.
10:18Ang sining ng pagsasayaw
10:20ay hindi lamang nagpapalakas ng katawan,
10:22kundi nagbibigay daan din sa mas malalim na pagunawa sa sarili.
10:26Sa bawat indak at galaw,
10:28isinasalaysay ng mananayaw
10:30ang kaning damdamin at sa loobin
10:32na nagiging daluyan ng presensya ng isip at pusipina.
10:36Ang kwento ni Mimi Villarreal
10:38ay isang patunay na ang tunay na lakas
10:41ay nagmamula sa kakayahang magpatuloy
10:43at magtagumpay
10:45sa kabila ng matinding harmon sa buhay.
