00:33Hello, everybody, and we have with us in the show tonight
00:36Chef Charisse Sarmiento of Pink Chocolate,
00:39and she's gonna teach us how to make chocolate lollipops.
00:42Charisse, hello.
00:43Hi.
00:44Thank you for adding sweetness to our life tonight.
00:46Sure, anytime.
00:48Basically, we're making chocolate lollipops,
00:50but first we have to melt the chocolate before we start.
00:53Okay.
00:54But before you show us how to do it,
00:56because our audience might be wondering
00:58or our viewers might be wondering why it's so loud.
01:00We've created a trend of making chocolate.
01:03This is just awesome.
01:05This is a win.
01:07And if Wil can't speak,
01:09it means she's drowning in chocolate.
01:13Chef, is this easy?
01:15Is this something that moms and kids can do together?
01:17Actually, even the kids can do this.
01:19Okay.
01:20And it's a nice giveaway for, like, parties.
01:22Yes, it's cute.
01:23For weddings.
01:24Run us through the whole process, please.
01:26Okay, basically, before we start,
01:28there are three important things to remember when doing this.
01:31Number one is chocolate is an oil-based product,
01:34so, of course, oil and water don't mix.
01:36Don't mix.
01:37So make sure that all your utensils are really dry.
01:40Second...
01:41Why? What happens if the spoon is still a bit wet?
01:43If the spoon is still a bit wet,
01:45the chocolate will melt and break.
01:47Or the shininess of the chocolate will be lost.
01:49Really?
01:50Is that so?
01:51So, is chocolate made of oil?
01:54No, it's...
01:55Vegetable oil.
01:56Cocoa.
01:57Cocoa is a vegetable.
01:58So, chocolate is healthy.
02:00So, you melt this?
02:02Yeah, we melt this.
02:03Because chocolate, it will also get destroyed
02:06if there's too much heat.
02:08So, what we do is,
02:09we just get a bowl, put the chocolate in,
02:11but we have to chop it first.
02:13But you're never supposed to put chocolate directly
02:15on top of heat, right?
02:16No, never.
02:17So, that's the purpose of this bowl.
02:19Okay.
02:20So, you get your water.
02:22This is simmering water.
02:23Can I stainless steel whatever?
02:25Any bowl, but just make sure that
02:27when you mix it, it won't spill
02:29because the water will get inside the chocolate.
02:31Okay.
02:32So, it has to be a bit smaller than the one on top of it.
02:35Yes, smaller than the one on top.
02:36Okay.
02:37So, you just put water in the lower pot,
02:40and then when you put water,
02:41make sure it doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
02:43So, it's just like steam?
02:45Yes, it's just like steam that will cook your chocolate.
02:47Okay.
02:48So, you just put the water.
02:50Just put it.
02:51Oh, it might touch.
02:52Chef, can I use a bowl like that?
02:54Yes, you can.
02:55But the bowl will melt.
02:56The bowl will melt.
02:57So, it has to be steel or glass.
03:00So, you just wait for it,
03:01and then it will melt.
03:02That's enough to make the chocolate melt?
03:04Yeah, it will.
03:05Actually, because chocolate melts at body temperature.
03:08So, around 39 degrees, it will melt.
03:10So, this means that it's already melting?
03:12It's already melting.
03:13It's already melting?
03:14It will really be like that?
03:16Like this?
03:17Yeah, that's the consistency.
03:18Actually, I melted some already.
03:20I'll get it for you.
03:24Oh, it's so good that it turned black.
03:27I touched it so that you'll have something to say.
03:33You're so powerful.
03:35So, this is the melted chocolate.
03:37Actually, it should be melted a bit more.
03:39If it's already melted,
03:40and you left it here at room temperature,
03:42it won't harden?
03:43It will harden again,
03:44but then you can reheat the chocolate.
03:46As long as it hasn't been touched by water
03:48or any other items, you can reheat it.
03:51How many times can you reheat chocolate
03:53without destroying its taste, its consistency?
03:56You can do it for a week or so.
03:58Doesn't it get spoiled?
04:00The shelf life of chocolate is usually a year.
04:03A year or so.
04:04So, this is a perfect project for kids,
04:06especially in the summer,
04:08because it's very easy.
04:09So, what you do is you get the molds.
04:11Is this a mold?
04:12I thought I have to buy one.
04:14This is the chocolate molds
04:15that you put the chocolate in.
04:16Where can we get this?
04:17You can buy this in...
04:19In any bake shop supply?
04:21Yeah, you can buy it anywhere.
04:23You just make sure that it's clean.
04:25You wipe it dry.
04:26Of course, it's very dry.
04:28Then, what you do...
04:29So, even that has to be really dry
04:31because once there's water,
04:32your chocolate will be ruined.
04:35What is it that we sometimes see
04:36where the chocolate is white?
04:39Ah, that's usually...
04:41Is it wet by water?
04:42No, the chocolate melts.
04:43So, its oils separate.
04:45When it freezes again,
04:47its oils separate.
04:51So, what you do is once the chocolate is melted,
04:54you just pour with a spoon
04:57the chocolate in the molds.
05:00So, you just put this there.
05:02I want to do that.
05:03Okay, here.
05:05She wants to do it.
05:07So, Chef, how's your chocolate?
05:09Is your life chocolate-y?
05:11Very.
05:12Oh, that's great!
05:13Tell us about some of the things you make.
05:15Actually, I usually am more in baking.
05:19My company is called Pink Chocolate
05:21because I love the color pink
05:23and of course, chocolate.
05:24And you love chocolate?
05:25Yes.
05:26So, where can we find Pink Chocolate?
05:27For now, it's a home-based group.
05:30It's in 3 Bataan Place, Ayala Heights.
05:33So, it's along Katipunan.
05:35How's that?
05:36You have to fill it.
05:38It has to be full.
05:39How do you even it out?
05:42While you two are evening it out
05:44and while I'm stirring this trend,
05:47this is our finished product.
05:50There.
05:51That's great.
05:52How come the chocolate is red?
05:54That's really available also?
05:56Red chocolate?
05:57You can already buy the chocolates with color.
05:59There are plenty of colors of chocolate.
06:01There's orange, pink, yellow.
06:03So, you don't need to color it?
06:05Yeah, no need for coloring.
06:06How come the bow is red and the bear is brown?
06:10If you're doing a two-colored chocolate,
06:12what you do is
06:13you get a paintbrush or a squeeze bottle
06:15and you color that first.
06:17Once it dries, you put in the rest of the chocolate.
06:19So, you let it dry first?
06:20Yes, you let it dry first.
06:21Will it separate from the whole?
06:23No, it won't.
06:24Once it dries, it will be together.
06:26If you fill this now, like earlier,
06:28what you do is you tap it a little
06:30to remove the bubbles
06:32and for it to be straight.
06:34That's what I'm asking.
06:35How will it be even?
06:36I messed it up right there.
06:38And then, you put the stick.
06:40And then, you make sure you roll it in the chocolate
06:42so that the kids, when they're biting,
06:44can remove the rest of the chocolate.
06:46So that it really sticks.
06:48So, you put this there
06:49and then you just put this in the freezer.
06:51For how long?
06:52For this size,
06:53it will take about 5 to 10 minutes.
06:55That's quick.
06:56So, instant gratification for kids.
06:59Okay.
07:00Thank you very much.
07:01I look forward to doing this with my own daughter.
07:03Sure.
07:05And we'll still be seeing more of her later in the show.
07:07It's sinful.
07:08It's tempting.
07:09We can't have enough of it.
07:11We will be talking about chocolate for tonight's show.
07:14Because we can't have enough of chocolates,
07:16we will find out more about this wonderful treat
07:19as well as some Choco Kalik stories when we come back.
07:30We have with us our guests, chocolate lovers all.

07:38Gabrielle Rojas.
07:42Christian Paul Lapsol.

08:27Maybe.
08:28Can you finish that?
08:29No.
08:30No?
08:31Do you brush your teeth before and after you eat chocolate?
08:33Yes.
08:34Okay, good.

08:36What else?
08:37It looks like you brush your teeth.
08:38Sam, do you really love chocolate?
08:40Yes.
08:41I like white chocolate.
08:43But why do you eat dark chocolate?
08:47Because I don't want it to change.
08:52But you really like white chocolate?
08:54What's your favorite chocolate?
08:56I like white chocolate.
08:58Okay.
08:59White rabbit.
09:00Do you know that?
09:01Yes.
09:02That's not chocolate.
09:03That's my zodiac.
09:05What?
09:06That's my zodiac.
09:07Oh, you're a rabbit.
09:10We're childhood friends, right?
09:13We connect.
09:14I'm dizzy.
09:15Patrick, why do you like chocolate?
09:18Well, same answers what the kids gave.
09:20Only because of the taste?
09:22Yeah, the taste.
09:23Huh?
09:24Yeah, the taste.
09:25So when you're sad, do you look for chocolate?
09:28Well, sad or happy.
09:30Whenever I think of chocolates, I buy chocolates and I eat them.
09:33What's your next favorite thing?
09:35Next favorite thing?
09:36After chocolates.
09:37Girls.
09:38Huh?
09:39No, I'm not a playboy.
09:41You really think I'm a playboy, right?
09:43Oh, I missed that.
09:44Bye.
09:45Patrick is so handsome.
09:46The last time we worked together, Patrick...
09:48Yes.
09:49He grew a little here.
09:50Yes.
09:51I remember he used to collect perfume.
09:53Do you collect chocolates?
09:55If I can, I would.
09:56Because I know some people, even if they don't eat it right away,
10:00they just buy it.
10:01Every time the craving comes...
10:03It's there.
10:04It's there.
10:05All right.
10:06Well, for me, I only like one type of chocolate.
10:09Which is?
10:10The Violet Crumble.
10:11It's hard to find now.
10:12Violet Crumble, I know that.
10:13Yeah, it's hard to find now.
10:14You're so successful, my friend.
10:16You're on another level.
10:17That's your favorite?
10:18That's my favorite.
10:19Because of the caramel inside, it's crunchy.
10:22Yeah, yeah.
10:23Jen, do you give chocolates?
10:24Of course.
10:25Her favorite is Reese's.
10:26Peanut butter?
10:27Yeah.
10:28Peanut butter.
10:29That's really good.
10:30I don't want it anymore.
10:31Okay, let's ask.
10:32You don't like peanut butter anymore?
10:33Yes.
10:34Why?
10:35I just don't want it anymore.
10:36I have a psycho-eclaboo about peanut butter.
10:37I love peanut butter.
10:38I can eat it.
10:39Even if there's no bread.
10:40I'm a vegan.
10:41You're really different.
10:42I know.
10:43Sweet, how about you?
10:44Why do you also love chocolate?
10:45Yes.
10:47I'm just kidding.
10:48Patrick said he likes chocolate because it's sweet.
10:49So he likes me.
10:50That's why sometimes I see Patrick smiling at me.
10:51He's just like that.
10:52He's simple.
10:53He thinks you're chocolate.
10:54I think so.
10:55The length of your hair.
10:56Thank you, Patrick.
10:57Yes, I've always loved chocolate.
10:58Ever since.
10:59How much do you love chocolate?
11:00Do you always have chocolate at home?
11:01No.
11:02Yes.
11:03I just need to have it.

13:29We do appetizers, soups and salads.
13:32We do pasta, burgers, sandwiches, and even puff pastry pizza.
13:37So it's like we want to welcome everybody with any choice of dish you want.
13:43And of course, it's a chocolate bar.
13:45When you say chocolate bar, it's a place where you can dine, relax, and drink all the chocolates
13:50you want.
13:51We have a different way of drinking chocolate.
13:54We have a drink that's called Hug Mug.
13:56It's a cow wherein you suck chocolate from a metal pipe.
14:01It's really nice.
14:02And Alice, it's like an old ice glass wherein it's a special glass designed for cold drinks.
14:09Here with Max Brenner, we wanted people to shop their experience and experience their shopping.
14:15You don't just get stuff and place it on a bag and bring it with you.
14:21Here, while you shop, you can dine.
14:24While you dine, you can shop.
14:26When you get in, you will surely keep on coming back for more.
14:31What we train for is something that reflects our personality.
14:35We'll find out how chocolate works for people.
14:37Stay tuned.
14:52We are all in for a sweet treat tonight because we have with us Miss Maribeth Santiago, a
15:03chocolate designer from Chocolate Confections.
15:06Miss Maribeth, thank you for being here.
15:08Thank you for inviting me.
15:09And she brought with her for us a big box of chocolates.
15:13We're going to invite our guests to please pick one.
15:17Pick one.
15:18Wait.
15:19Okay.
15:20Please get one.
15:21And after they pick, okay, you eat it and Miss Maribeth will show us or will tell us how
15:29it reflects your personality.
15:31It's big.
15:34How about you?
15:36Go pick one.
15:37Any.
15:39Okay, listen to your heart.
15:41This is scary.
15:42The chocolate is confusing.
15:45The first choice is always the one that you know.
15:47Is that so?
15:49Christian, this is all for you.
15:51Get one.
15:52I'm going to get one too.
15:54How long have you been doing that?
15:56I started the business in 2003.
15:59And it's a home-based business?
16:01Yes, it is a home-based business and it actually started as a hobby just meant for family consumption.
16:08And then I got pushed to join Bridal Fair so I now specialize.
16:14So it's very popular for weddings?
16:16Yes, for weddings.
16:17I do events but most of my clients are weddings.
16:22Most of your clients are weddings?
16:24Yes.
16:25So these are for giveaways?
16:26For giveaways, wedding favors and gifts to entourage and sponsors.
16:31And you put them in pretty boxes.
16:34Sometimes they are put on the table, the dessert table.
16:38Yes.
16:39And I've done chocolate parades.
16:43Mostly done in beaches when the wedding is in a beach.
16:47So Ms. Marie Beth, I'm excited to find out because I got one too.
16:51What will happen to these chocolates?
16:53Do we have to taste them?
16:54Yes.
16:55Sure, of course.
16:56Sam, you go first.
16:57The joy of chocolates is in the eating.
17:00Might as well.
17:02I got a lot.
17:03This is what I like.
17:04Really?
17:05Why?
17:06Why do you like that?
17:07It's crunchy on the inside.
17:08Isn't that what you're saying?
17:09You're buying this at a convenience store.
17:10It's like a Kandurin.
17:11That's why it's round.
17:12What's that crunchy?
17:14Peanut crunch.
17:16So what does that mean?
17:17I would say you are the adventurous type of person.
17:21Your life is like with a crunch.
17:23You always like it exciting.
17:25Correct.
17:26Yeah, that's so you, Sam.
17:27You're good.
17:28You're good.
17:29What about Christian?
17:30Why'd you choose that one?
17:31Okay.
17:32On white.
17:33The ones who like white chocolates are those who are very young in taste, still wanting
17:39to discover what they want in life.
17:41I think this is my personal opinion.
17:43Yeah.
17:44So they're not sure yet what they really want.
17:46Yes, because white chocolate is not really chocolate.
17:48You know, they're not made of any cocoa solid.
17:51They're made of cocoa butter and more sugar and milk.
17:57So it's not really chocolate.
17:58Mrs. Maribeth, you really make chocolate from scratch.
18:01Yes.
18:02Did you study this?
18:03Yes, I studied the basic chocolate making the same way our chef taught us earlier.
18:10But because I use Belgian chocolates, this goes through a different, more tedious procedure.
18:17Okay.
18:18Is it finer?
18:19Is Belgian chocolate finer?
18:20Yes.
18:21It's personal choice also that I use Belgian.
18:24Okay.
18:25They're more acceptable by Filipinos.
18:28They like the taste.
18:31We're not too bitter, right?
18:32Wait a minute.
18:33I'll ask Christian first if what Mrs. Maribeth said is true.
18:36That you want to discover.
18:37Is there anything you haven't discovered?
18:39Yes, I think it's true.
18:41Oh, you think it's true.
18:43Don't exaggerate.
18:44You've already discovered me.
18:45I'm right next to you.
18:47You're a jackpot.
18:48As if.
18:49Where's your chocolate?
18:50Do you remember what he chose?
18:52Yes, I think you also picked the milk chocolate.
18:55No, it was the bright.
18:56The dark one.
18:57There's another one.
18:58The really dark one.
18:59The small one.
19:00The small, yeah.
19:01This one.
19:02You know, look at that.
19:03It's something like this.
19:04It really excites me.
19:05The sight of it.
19:06All square.
19:07Okay.
19:08You know, if you are a certified chocoholic, the person chooses dark chocolate.
19:15Dark chocolate is actually the real chocolate.
19:17You know, it has the highest cocoa.
19:20It's bitter.
19:21Cocoa percent, yes.
19:22A percentage of cocoa butter.
19:24Actually, I don't like it too sweet.
19:26It's too oily.
19:27Yes.
19:28And, you know, if I have to say that those that like dark chocolates, I find the ones
19:37who are matured in taste, the ones who know what they want.
19:40Oh, Patrick, you know what you want.
19:43Yes, because they have very good health benefits.
19:47They are supposed to be good for the heart.
19:50Yeah, dark chocolate is supposed to be healthy, right?
19:53In fact, if I will have a piece of chocolate, it will have to be dark chocolate because then,
19:58you know, even with consuming calories, at least that's good benefits.
20:02It's nice to know.
20:03What about me?
20:04White and…
20:05Combination?
20:06You're confused.
20:07White, and there's dark, and there's peanut.
20:10I have a lot.
20:12You know, they say those that like milk chocolate are those…
20:16Is this milk chocolate?
20:18That's milk and white.
20:20Combination of milk and white.
20:21I call it sandwich because there's roasted nuts in between.
20:24Yeah.
20:25Yes.
20:26They say those that like milk chocolate are the innocent ones who like to live in the past.
20:32Who like to live in the past.
20:35Yes.
20:36And the ones who like white chocolate are the ones who have this natural sense of fairness
20:42that you are always in control.
20:45So you're probably in between that.
20:47In fairness.
20:49Yes.
20:50So meaning…
20:51Sense of control, yeah.
20:52That sounds like you.
20:53You want to be in control, right?
20:54Well, he's light.
20:57That's good.
20:58Gabriel.
20:59He's also white.
21:00Yes.
21:01He's the same.
21:02He's white and soft.
21:03I heard him say earlier he likes white chocolate because it's sweet.
21:09So basically, the kids really like white chocolate because of the sugar part of it.
21:15He said earlier he likes white chocolate because it's sweet.
21:20I think we got the same one.
21:23Crunchy.
21:24Yeah.
21:25He said it's also crunchy.
21:26Yeah, crunchy.
21:27Crunchy.
21:28He probably grew up to be crunchy.
21:29You know, that's probably what I would choose.
21:30What's that again?
21:31Peanut crunch.
21:32Peanut crunch.
21:33It's a favorite.
21:34It's a favorite.
21:35Yes.
21:36It's a top seller.
21:37Let's ask the boys.
21:38What do you prefer to date?
21:40Dark or white?
21:41Oh, Patrick.
21:42I'm so close to you.
21:43Stay away from me.
21:45What's your type?
21:46Do you have a type?
21:47I don't really have a type.
21:49I just like the place where my heart drops.
21:54I wish I could answer that.
21:55I'm melting like chocolate.
21:57Patrick is really different.
21:59How about you, Christian?
22:01I also feel white.
22:02Since I got the white chocolate, right?
22:04He also feels white.
22:06He's hopeful.
22:07I can make options.
22:09Let's admit it.
22:10I don't like dark chocolate.
22:11My boyfriends and crushes are all white.
22:13Did you notice?
22:14I didn't tell Patrick.
22:15Yes, you really like dark chocolate.
22:16Surprise!
22:19Love is sweet like chocolate.
22:20We crave for more with every bite.
22:22Is it right for women to tell men,
22:25Honey, I want you to be sweeter.
22:28And get to know the wonders of liquid chocolates when we return.
22:40Every place I need you,
22:42I need you.
22:44Every night I start something brand new.
22:48Yes, we're still here to add some sweetness to your life.
22:51We're back with our chocolate experts,
22:53Chef Charisse and Miss Marie Beth.
22:55Can you tell us,
22:56I always see this wherever I go,
22:58when there's a gathering,
22:59there's an occasion,
23:00there's always a chocolate fountain.
23:02When did this become so popular?
23:04Actually, it just became popular this year
23:06and actually last year.
23:08But now, it's really a great way
23:10to introduce it to parties
23:11because it's a fun activity
23:13that kids and adults really like.
23:16Can you run us through the whole thing?
23:18What can you or what can't you use with chocolate?
23:22Actually, you can do a lot of things with the chocolate fountain.
23:25You can use fruits,
23:27you can use marshmallows,
23:29and also it's very nice,
23:31usually when they serve it,
23:32you have ice cream,
23:34and you can scoop some on your ice cream,
23:35so it's really good.
23:38Really?
23:39Do you get a lot of requests also for chocolate fountain?
23:41Yes, I do.
23:42Unfortunately, I opt not to do it
23:45because it's a bit messy.
23:48But of course,
23:49it's a great, great attraction to any event.
23:54If I may add to Chef,
23:58what you can also use as dipper
24:01is ladyfingers or sliced butter cake.
24:07Yes.
24:08Can you imagine sliced butter cake with that?
24:10Anyway, thank you for being with us.
24:12It was a treat to have you both.
24:13Is there anything you'd like to plug?
24:15Can you invite them, please,
24:16to try your box of chocolates?
24:18I would like to say
24:19chocolates are an anytime, anywhere treat.
24:23Good chocolates are not hard to find.
24:26I am just at home.
24:27You can find me at 151 Tanawan Street, Ayala, Alabang.
24:31My phone number is 8509828.
24:34And Charisse?
24:36I'm from Pink Chocolate.
24:38You can call me at 0917-847-2253, 952-6468.
24:45Our specialties are chocolate crinkles and molten lava cakes.
24:50You were telling me earlier
24:51that your chocolate crinkles were a judge, the best.
24:55It's one of the best crinkles in Manila.
24:58It was written about by a food critic, Laurie Baltazar.
25:02And it was included in the top 10 gifts for Christmas last year.
25:06We cannot wait to try that.
25:08Even if it's not Christmas,
25:09let's order chocolate crinkles
25:11and, of course, try Ms. Maribeth's chocolate confections.
25:14If you want to set up your own chocolate fountain at home,
25:17watch this.
25:22Everybody can't seem to get enough of dipping,
25:24licking, and sipping
25:25in the newest and most confusing parties.
25:29And we are sharing with you
25:30how to set up this sinful fountain for your own party.
25:33It usually goes, you know, with this part.
25:36This is the fountain base.
25:37We call it the base of the fountain.
25:39Wherein, nandito ko yung motor na nagtop under
25:41dun sa fountain natin.
25:43This is called the spiral tube.
25:45And then, this is the central tube with the umbrellas.
25:51This is the top hut.
25:54This spiral tube,
25:55pag umandar na yung motor natin,
25:57umiikot siya.
25:58So, akit niya dun sa top part ng central tube.
26:01Tapos, pag dating dito,
26:02babagsak siya dun sa mga umbrella.
26:06You just have to put the spiral tube and central tube
26:08on the fountain base
26:09and bring on the top hut.
26:11Perfect!
26:12But the chocolate fountain is not complete
26:13without the chocolate, right?
26:15When you are able to assemble your fountain,
26:18you have to preheat the base of the fountain.
26:23Dapat mainit yung container
26:25or else maninigas yung tsukulati natin.
26:27So, dapat we will maintain the temperature of the chocolate
26:30na talagang mainit siya.
26:32This size of fountain requires at least
26:3510 to 12 kilos of chocolate
26:39because it's a very big fountain.
26:41Pag nilagyan mo ito ng mga 5 kilos lang,
26:43hindi yan magpo-flow na solid.
26:46Bungi-bungi yan.
26:47For our medium, it requires at least 3 to 4,
26:513 to 5 kilos.
26:53And for the small, 3 kilos.
26:55Ang minimum.
26:56And what's making this choco experience more exciting?
26:59What goes with our chocolate fountain,
27:01syempre yung mga ididip natin.
27:03Yummy!
27:04Ano po ba ang nakakaloko na choco wako kwento
27:07about this fondue?
27:10Chocolate fountain was introduced in the Philippines
27:13about 5 years ago.
27:15Every year, we go to the Western Food Hospitality Expo
27:19in the States.
27:20So, when I first saw it in Los Angeles,
27:22nakita ko, wow, this is something new
27:24that I need to bring it in the Philippines.
27:25Now, you're ready to dip into the never-ending goodness
27:28of chocolate.
27:35We also have with us, for our ultimate survivor,
27:39ultimate love team, Chris Bernal and Mark Escudero.
27:46And of course, glam couple Nancy and Brad.
27:49Yes.
27:50Thank you guys for being here.
27:53I wanna ask the boys,
27:54is it right for a girl to demand you to be sweeter?
27:57Does Nancy ever demand for you to be sweeter?
27:59All the time.
28:00All the time?
28:01All the time.
28:03What does she say and on what instances?
28:05Well, she's definitely well within her rights
28:07to ask me to be sweeter.
28:09Why? Are you not sweet?
28:12Can I answer that?
28:13Yeah, you can.
28:14He's sweet naman, but I guess in a different way,
28:16not in the Pinoy way na malambing.
28:19Maalaga siya, but he's not very,
28:22I guess, touchy-feely or comforting in that way.
28:27You're a touchy guy, why?
28:30Well, we put it down to how she thinks of everything
28:33in an emotional way.
28:34I'm more the logical person in the couple.
28:39Pero you know when we're together,
28:41me and Brad, he's not like that.
28:43How do you strike a balance?
28:45Actually, for us, it's a good balance
28:48because I'm learning from her, she's also learning from me.
28:51So it works.
28:52Kasi ako sobrang emotional.
28:54I'm run by my emotions always, which is wrong.
28:58And you gauge everything by how he is to you physically.
29:04How often he kisses you or hugs you.
29:06Yeah, exactly.
29:07And he's the exact opposite.
29:09So I guess in a way, it works out.
29:12In a weird way.
29:13Yeah, in a weird way.
29:14Something, a work in progress,
29:16but it's helping, I think, each of us grow.
29:18So I definitely have been asked to be sweeter.
29:22Many times.
29:23Many times.
29:24And I guess that's what keeps your relationship exciting
29:26because there's that something
29:27that you still have to look forward to.
29:29Yes.
29:30Patrick, let's ask you.
29:31So when Jen asks you,
29:34did you kiss me?
29:36You can't answer Patrick.
29:39You have that effect on men, Wilma.
29:41They can't answer.
29:42They're speechless.
29:43When Wilma asks, I don't know if she's serious.
29:45I'm serious, Pat.
29:46I'm always serious.
29:47Serious.
29:49Patrick is sweet.
29:50In fairness,
29:51I saw Jen and Patrick together
29:53and Patrick is so sweet.
29:56He's so sweet.
29:57It's rare to see a man like that.
29:59The way he moves.
30:01How does he become sweet?
30:03When I interviewed Jen and Patrick,
30:05it was really Patrick who approached me
30:07and touched me.
30:09He touched you?
30:10No, you know, Patrick is really sweet.
30:12You know why?
30:13I remember four years ago,
30:14when I was pregnant,
30:15he called me and said,
30:16oh, you're pregnant?
30:17I was like, wow, sweet.
30:19Patrick said,
30:20you need a father?
30:22He asked me,
30:23yes, I need a father.
30:26Martin and Chris.
30:28Does chocolate have a significance
30:29in your relationship?
30:32For us,
30:34chocolate started
30:39because one day,
30:41I thought of helping
30:43one of my friends.
30:45That's where it all started.
30:47One day,
30:48you thought of helping
30:51your friend?
30:52My friend,
30:53Chris.
30:55So you bridged over trouble.
30:57That's how you became a couple.
30:59That's where it all started.
31:01Did a woman tell you
31:02that you're a Christian?
31:04Be sweet, please.
31:05Yeah, yeah.
31:06I admit sometimes.
31:07It's those processes
31:09that you learn from the end.
31:10You become more romantic.
31:12You become more sweeter.
31:13Okay, so how do you become
31:14more romantic,
31:15more sweeter?
31:17Well, it's necessary
31:18to understand a woman's
31:19sensitive side.
31:20I mean,
31:21by understanding
31:22what the woman is feeling,
31:24understanding.
31:25It's by being sweeter already.
31:28Yes.
31:29But sometimes,
31:30it's also good
31:31not to give everything.
31:32So you leave her
31:33always wanting more and more.
31:34Yeah, that's why.
31:35Is there such a thing
31:36as too much sweetness, Chris?
31:40Hmm.
31:41It's okay.
31:42Actually, the chocolates
31:43really helped me.
31:45Like, when she gave me chocolates,
31:47I was so surprised.
31:48I didn't expect
31:49that she would give me chocolates.
31:50Did you like it?
31:51Did you know that
31:52it came from her friend
31:53or did you think
31:54it came from her?
31:56I was confused
31:57because she said
31:58it came from her friend.
32:00And then,
32:01her friend said
32:03she wasn't being given anything.
32:06So you're just going to do that, Mart?
32:08I didn't understand.
32:09Oh my,
32:10that's hard.
32:11I didn't understand either.
32:13No,
32:14because I really wanted to help her.
32:15That's why I talked to her.
32:17I said,
32:18I have chocolates.
32:19I said,
32:20it's Christo's favorite.
32:21If you give it to her,
32:22it will add points to you.
32:24So how did you know
32:25that it's your favorite?
32:26Did you give it to her too?
32:27No, I just said it.
32:28You're making it up.
32:29So what happened?
32:30Did you really do a project for her?
32:32No,
32:33I really wanted to help her
32:34but she said
32:35that I shouldn't.
32:36But you were the one
32:37who liked it.
32:39It's life.
32:40There's no other way.
32:42I said,
32:43if she's shy,
32:44I'll give it to her.
32:45If she's shy,
32:46you'll give it to her?
32:47I'll give it to her.
32:48If she's shy,
32:49you'll give it to her?
32:50Yes.
32:51That's why I did it.
32:52Is there such a thing?
32:53Do you think the time will ever come
32:54that you'll tell Brad
32:55that you're too sweet?
32:56Now you're complaining
32:57that he's not sweet enough.
32:58But what if he really steps up?
32:59You think
33:00you will complain about that?
33:02No,
33:03I wouldn't complain.
33:04You wouldn't?
33:05No, I wouldn't.
33:06I don't think
33:07it's possible.
33:08So are there
33:09limitations?
33:10Why?
33:11Do you think
33:12you might think differently
33:13if I became
33:14a whole lot more sweeter?
33:15It means number 2.
33:17What?
33:21What?
33:22Sorry?
33:23What were you saying?
33:24I was just thinking
33:25if it wouldn't make you
33:26think of me any differently
33:27if I became
33:28a whole lot more sweeter.
33:30Would you suspect
33:31anything was wrong?
33:32Yes.
33:33Probably.
33:34Because it's not
33:35my nature.
33:36Yeah.
33:37So I would think
33:38something's wrong.
33:39Something's cooking.
33:40Yeah, something's cooking.
33:41I agree with that.
33:42You know,
33:43you're crazy.
33:44I agree with that.
33:45Of course,
33:46they're not sweet, right?
33:47And as all of us,
33:48they're too sweet.
33:49And the next one
33:50is paying in loans.
33:51Cellphone,
33:52horse,
33:53sleeper.
33:54I'm getting nervous.
33:55It's like
33:56I'm getting sweeter and sweeter.
33:57The last one,
33:58I'm sitting on a chair.
33:59What do you call it?
34:00I'm sitting on a chair
34:01and the chair is holding me.
34:02What's the exchange?
34:03Loan?
34:04Or show?
34:05Or a roll?
34:08It's crazy.
34:09The sweeter,
34:10the higher the exchange.
34:11The problem is
34:12I'm the sweetest person
34:13to the point that
34:14I'm a little...
34:15Consistent?
34:16You're the sweetest?
34:17I'm the sweetest?
34:18My friends are saying
34:19that they're being pressured
34:20by my sweetness.
34:21It's like
34:22they feel
34:23I'm so sweet
34:24that they have to
34:25face it.
34:26I'm saying
34:27no, this is just me.
34:28If you're not like this,
34:29it's a problem.
34:30So you're not expecting
34:31that...
34:32No, I wouldn't mind
34:33if you're not like this
34:34because it's a scary concept
34:35that one person
34:36isn't sweet
34:37but all of us
34:38are so sweet.
34:39What if you're like Nancy?
34:40Wait,
34:41I have a question for you.
34:42Is Papa Goms
34:43sweet?
34:44Yes, of course.
34:45Is he really sweet?
34:48Is he showy?
34:49He's not too...
34:51He's not too conventional
34:52in being sweet.
34:53But he's sweet
34:54when you least expect it.
34:55That's why it's scary.
34:56Okay, since Papa Goms
34:57is sweet,
34:58we'll continue with more sweetness.
34:59Then you can read.
35:01The Filipinos
35:02love chocolates.
35:03We'll find out about
35:04Pinoy chocolate delicacies
35:05when we return.
35:30We're back.
35:31Let's ask the boys
35:32if they tried
35:33spoiling their girls
35:34with too much sweetness.
35:35Have you tried that?
35:36How do you spoil Jen?
35:41How?
35:43Well, I don't know how.
35:44Sometimes,
35:45I don't know
35:46that I'm spoiling her.
35:47Well,
35:48basically,
35:49by giving everything
35:50she requests.
35:51Like what does she
35:52usually request?
35:53Usually,
35:54because there's no time
35:55to ask for chocolates.
35:56I say 2 o'clock
35:57in the morning.
35:58So,
35:59how far is your house
36:00from each other?
36:02I live in Pasig.
36:03She lives in Quezon City.
36:05It's not far.
36:06It's not far?
36:07It's not far.
36:08It's about 15 minutes away.
36:09If there's no traffic,
36:10it's already 2 a.m.
36:11So,
36:12if she really wants to eat,
36:13you find a way.
36:14Yes,
36:15I really look for it.
36:16Patrick,
36:17I want chocolate.
36:18But I live in Cavite.
36:22Sweetie,
36:23you?
36:24Yes,
36:25I said earlier
36:26that I'll spoil her.
36:27You said
36:28that you spoil her a lot.
36:29A lot.
36:30She has a lot of friends
36:31and boyfriends.
36:32Is there a limit to that?
36:33No.
36:34The ending,
36:35you know,
36:36when I get hurt,
36:37it just disappears.
36:38All mine to give you.
36:39Kind of like that.
36:40And that is something
36:41that I have to work on too.
36:42Why?
36:43Do you want to change that?
36:44Kind of.
36:45Because
36:46in the end,
36:47you know,
36:48nothing is permanent.
36:49It just disappears.
36:50It's like,
36:51we're engaged.
36:52We know that
36:53a boyfriend
36:54would not last for long
36:55as much as we want to.
36:57Even if you're ready,
36:58you don't mind
36:59that this boyfriend
37:00would not last for long.
37:01When it's gone,
37:02it's like,
37:03why didn't it last?
37:04You're still sad.
37:05You look stupid.
37:06You look stupid.
37:07And that is why
37:08you were right earlier
37:09that you should
37:10still have a little
37:11for yourself.
37:12That's very important.
37:14Christian,
37:15you?
37:16What was the sweetest thing
37:17you ever did for a girl?
37:20I wrote this girl
37:21a poem
37:22and then I presented
37:23her chocolates.
37:24You wrote her a poem?
37:25Yes.
37:26Okay.
37:27This one thing.
37:28Was she your girlfriend
37:29or were you courting her?
37:30I was courting her.
37:31And it was this one.
37:32What I did was,
37:33not only did I present
37:34the chocolate to her,
37:35I even wrote the poetry.
37:36I didn't get it
37:37from any internet.
37:38Okay.
37:39You did it from?
37:40I wrote it.
37:41And I wrote even the time,
37:42the place where I wrote it.
37:43How long did it take you
37:44to write the poem?
37:45It depends actually.
37:46Three weeks?
37:47Usually,
37:48if you feel the passion
37:49in writing.
37:50It writes itself, right?
37:51It writes itself.
37:52Did you get the girl?
37:53Well?
37:54No.
37:55No?
37:56She's still with you now?
37:57She's still with me.
37:58Ah!
37:59You're still in the process.
38:00Still in the process.
38:01Wow!
38:02What was the sweetest thing
38:03you ever did for Nancy?
38:04That she acknowledged
38:05as sweet,
38:06because you have
38:07a conflict there.
38:08You know,
38:09actually,
38:10once in a while,
38:11because she never,
38:12after a while,
38:13she never really expects me
38:14to do anything
38:15that's really sweet.
38:16So you surprise her?
38:17I like to surprise her
38:18once in a while
38:19when she really gets surprised
38:20and really appreciates it.
38:21Okay.
38:22Can you share with us
38:23the sweetest thing
38:24you did for her?
38:25The most recent one.
38:26The most recent one
38:27was I prepared
38:29a great big seafood dinner
38:32for us that I cooked myself.
38:34She knew that you were
38:35going to do that?
38:36She had no idea.
38:37She thought it was
38:38a special day
38:39and she thought that
38:40I had absolutely nothing planned.
38:41So you were upset?
38:42Because usually,
38:43he doesn't really plan.
38:44What do you mean upset?
38:45His head is already hot.
38:46Why?
38:47His head is already hot
38:48because it's a special day
38:49but Brad has no plans.
38:51No, but I was used to it.
38:52I wasn't expecting that.
38:55But you were hoping?
38:56Maybe I was hoping
38:58but at the same time,
38:59if there's nothing,
39:00it's okay.
39:01And then,
39:02I was like,
39:03wow.
39:04Because it's a full course meal.
39:05There was appetizer.
39:06That you cooked from scratch?
39:07Yes, from scratch.
39:08And the good thing is
39:09I know she appreciates food.
39:11That's the thing.
39:12I love to cook for her
39:13because I know she just
39:14loves her food.
39:15Okay.
39:16This is ugly.
39:17I look like a fool.
39:18You look like a fool.
39:20What was the sweetest thing
39:21that Nancy ever did
39:22for you or to you?
39:26Can we say that on the air?
39:27I don't think so.
39:28Oh, please don't.
39:29Don't say it.
39:30Don't.
39:31Don't say it.
39:32Hold on.
39:33Hold on.
39:34Hold on.
39:35This show is so wholesome.
39:36Yes.
39:37I'm a wholesome person.
39:38Okay.
39:39Which one?
39:40Which one?
39:41Sweetest thing she did for me,
39:42actually.
39:43Oh, I can't wait.
39:44I can't wait.
39:45I'm scared.
39:46No, really.
39:47And it's not something
39:48I don't think she even realized
39:49it's something I considered sweet.
39:50But
39:52when
39:53we went to Australia
39:55to visit my family,
39:58one of my family members
39:59had a serious accident.
40:01And she really,
40:02really surprised me
40:04and stepped up
40:05and helped
40:07with my family
40:08and with my family member
40:09that was injured.
40:10Ah, okay.
40:11And for me,
40:12above all the sweet things
40:13that you can actually do
40:14to someone,
40:15that was the sweetest thing
40:16that virtually anyone's
40:17ever done for me.
40:18She didn't have to do that,
40:19but she did it.
40:20No, and she really
40:21stepped up in it.
40:22It really touched me.
40:23His grandpa got into an accident,
40:25a really bad one.
40:26And his mom, of course,
40:27was busy taking care of,
40:29I mean, the ambulance
40:30was at the house
40:31and it was super messy.
40:32So, he was bothered.
40:35His brother, Greg,
40:36was at work.
40:37So, I feel like I'm
40:38the only one here.
40:39I have to help.
40:40So, I was helping
40:41the ambulance people
40:42get this, get that.
40:43And then, when they're
40:44at the hospital.
40:45So, you were there
40:46to put some
40:47semblance of order.
40:48Yeah, but I do sweet things
40:50I never forget to tell him
40:51I love him.
40:52Why?
40:53Does he ever forget
40:54to tell you that he...
40:55Yes.
40:56Really?
40:57That's bad, Brad.
40:58That's a mortal sin, Brad.
40:59You never forget.
41:00No, I'm of the belief that
41:04when it comes to saying
41:05I love you,
41:06I would rather say it
41:07at a time when I'm
41:08really feeling it.
41:10So, you don't feel it
41:11every day?
41:12No, but there are times
41:13that I feel it more.
41:14Because if I say it every day,
41:15I feel it's gonna lose
41:16its meaning after a while.
41:17Yeah, that's true.
41:18Oh, Papa has a point.
41:19Okay.
41:20So, does he choose
41:21to say I love you to you?
41:22He doesn't choose,
41:23but not every day.
41:25Just sometimes.
41:27But it's true.
41:28When he does say it,
41:29there's a special,
41:30special feeling.
41:31Okay.
41:32Because it doesn't come too often
41:33or as often as he'd like to.
41:34Right.
41:35Chris and Maureen,
41:36what's the sweetest thing
41:37that you did for each other?
41:39I know your relationship
41:40is still very young.
41:42Right?
41:43It's still very new.
41:44So, everything you do
41:45for each other is still sweet?
41:47Yes.
41:48Even if they're holding hands
41:49in Sulok,
41:50it's already sweet.
41:51They were holding hands earlier.
41:52Oh, I saw it.
41:53They were leaning towards each other.
41:56What?
41:57Right now,
41:58it's like,
41:59Marth hasn't even
42:01started courting yet.
42:03Maybe we're just in the part
42:04where we're getting together.
42:05Oh, aren't you guys yet?
42:06Aren't you guys yet?
42:07Oh, aren't you guys yet?
42:08No, we're not yet.
42:09Kids these days,
42:10yes, yes.
42:11The barangay captain
42:12just called me
42:13from the other side.
42:14I was about to jump.
42:16These kids are so slow.
42:18It's a good thing that
42:19Kishan and I are already here.
42:20We're already next to each other.
42:21So, the whole episode,
42:22you guys weren't there yet?
42:23The whole time?
42:24Even in the back,
42:25you guys weren't there yet?
42:26You didn't tell us
42:27that we were already there.
42:29They kept answering.
42:31You guys weren't there yet?
42:32So, when you're doing this,
42:33you guys aren't there yet?
42:34Like that?
42:35No, we're just close with Marth.
42:37Because we've been
42:38in Starz for a long time.
42:40That's how close they are?
42:42Okay.
42:43I want to be close to Marth.
42:45We'd like to thank our guests
42:46for being here.
42:47Thank you, guys.
