00:00Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
00:04Where did it start?
00:07When did our original divas start?
00:10Tita Sylvia?
00:12Yes, Iha?
00:13How did your career start?
00:16My mom taught me how to sing voice that day
00:20because she's a teacher of voice and piano.
00:23When I was small, she saw that I'm also fond of it.
00:27So, she taught me at an early age.
00:30I was only like three years old when she taught me.
00:32Three? Three years old?
00:34When I became five, I learned a lot of Kondiman songs
00:37which she sings during that time.
00:41How do you teach a child at three how to sing?
00:45I'm fond of it.
00:46But you're fond of it?
00:47Yes.
00:48So, she puts me on top of the piano.
00:50Back then, the piano was high like this.
00:53She puts me on top of the piano like this.
00:55She plays the piano like this and I sing.
00:57On top of the piano?
00:58Yes, I'm sitting on the piano.
00:59You're playing the piano on top of the piano?
01:01The piano was high back then.
01:05She taught me how to sing Babalikarin, Kondiman songs.
01:09When I was five, she challenged me in a contest.
01:13I won.
01:14My opponents were adults.
01:17At five?
01:18At five, I won the first prize.
01:20What did you sing then?
01:22Ako Ay Bulaklak ng Kawangis.
01:25It's an old song.
01:27How does it go?
01:29Ako Ay Bulaklak ng Kawangis.
01:34My voice was still natural back then.
01:37Yes, of course.
01:38It was still natural.
01:39My voice was still young.
01:41My voice was still young.
01:42You really dreamed of becoming a singer.
01:46And then, I was nine years old.
01:48It was Japanese time.
01:50Don't count, Elizabeth. You're older than me.
01:55I joined the live theater as a singer and an actress.
02:00I was nine.
02:01I was with Rogelio de la Rosa, Norma Blanca Flor, Katie de la Cruz, Leroy Salvador, Puge and Togo.
02:07And I learned a lot when I appeared on stage.
02:10On stage.
02:11Of course, I was with a veteran.
02:13Yes, on stage.
02:14But you were only nine.
02:15I was only nine.
02:16But that was the best training, just like Tita Beth.
02:19Who came from the stage.
02:21I didn't have any training.
02:23I just jumped.
02:26How did you start singing and performing, Tita Elizabeth?
02:31It's like this.
02:32Maybe Jesus of Nazareth pitied me.
02:35Because I always asked him to win over the amateurs.
02:39Back then, I always asked Jesus to win over me.
02:42But I never won.
02:44I always lost.
02:45I would sing Granada.
02:47Granada.
02:48I'm falling under your spell.
02:50Ting.
02:51But if you could speak with a positive intention, I would tell.
02:53Ting.
02:54Akalapay.
02:55Asamo sa tugtug.
02:56That's Naba.
02:57Naba Bangkana.
02:58No.
03:01Granada.
03:02Today.
03:03Tang, tang, tang, tang.
03:04Like that.
03:05All I did was sing.
03:06No music.
03:07The announcer told me.
03:08He's from Negros, Bacolod.
03:09Dai.
03:10It's over.
03:11I told him, I'm still in the chorus.
03:13No, it's not over.
03:14It's over.
03:15It was over a while ago.
03:16He was so mad.
03:17He was so mad.
03:19Back then, it was all about disgraces.
03:22Until the O.
03:24How did you go to the theater?
03:26Of course.
03:27I stepped out of our circle.
03:28The gay assistant came in.
03:30So we can see each other.
03:31It was a registration.
03:33Now?
03:34No.
03:35It was only until
03:36We were told it was a small theater.
03:38I registered.
03:39I was 18 years old.
03:40I was lucky.
03:41Because I was young.
03:42How old were you back then?
03:43I was 25.
03:44I was 5 years old.
03:46No, you were 18.
03:48I was really young, even my voice was young.
03:50Then I won the Undefeated Champion.
03:52I was given a Darigold,
03:54even before I was born.
03:56Did you have a child when you won?
03:58Of course!
04:00Then,
04:02when they said Darigold,
04:04because I didn't have money,
04:06I said, thank you.
04:08It's not good if my child drinks.
04:10Then something happened.
04:12I told them what happened.
04:14They found out that I had a child.
04:16They didn't recognize me.
04:18I was the Undefeated Champion.
04:20But inside me,
04:22they didn't recognize me
04:24because I only had money.
04:26They didn't recognize me because I had a child.
04:28Because I was still a student.
04:30He said he was 18,
04:32but he was already 25.
04:36How did you get to the stage?
04:38I was hired by Rene,
04:40my cousin.
04:42How did he see you?
04:44He heard me in the restaurant.
04:46He dropped his rice.
04:48I took it to the student.
04:50He was eating
04:52and he dropped his spoon.
04:54He took it right away.
04:56After I finished singing,
04:58I was able to sing 6 songs.
05:00I was just a contestant.
05:02I sang 6 songs.
05:04The students were celebrating.
05:06I didn't want to leave.
05:08It was history.
05:10I only sang 1 song.
05:12I sang 6 songs.
05:14You didn't leave the stage?
05:16No.
05:18I even tricked Amado Pascual.
05:20I said,
05:22you're a hypocrite.
05:24You don't give food to our child.
05:26You don't even recognize him.
05:28He ran and I caught him.
05:30It was chaotic.
05:32It started.
05:34Amado thought that I had a child.
05:36That's not true.
05:38That's not true.
05:40I'm just clarifying.
05:42Because God didn't bring together
05:44the hypocrites.
05:46I mean,
05:48hypocrites.
