02:04 That means no!
02:05 [LAUGHTER]

02:13 Thank you also to the boys.
02:14 Thank you.
02:15 So honored to be here.
02:16 Yeah.
02:17 Ladies, I know this is not very proper,
02:19 but I'll have to begin here.
02:20 Who is older?
02:23 You!
02:24 You!
02:24 [LAUGHTER]
02:27 You!
02:28 You!
02:28 You!
02:29 Wait.
02:29 OK.
02:30 Boy, it's like this.
02:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:34 [LAUGHTER]
02:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:39 [LAUGHTER]
02:42 OK.
02:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:44 [LAUGHTER]
02:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:51 She owned a disco.
02:54 I was just there because I love to go to discos.
02:57 I love to dance.
02:58 OK.
02:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:02 Wow.
03:02 Yes.
03:03 Yes.
03:04 And she couldn't even remember.
03:05 I couldn't even remember.
03:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:08 [LAUGHTER]
03:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:12 They owned it.
03:13 So anyway, she called me, and then
03:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:23 The two of us, it was like we are twins.
03:27 It was like the Aldegraeo sisters.
03:29 I get it.
03:29 We're supposed to do that.
03:31 I really have to look back always.
03:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:35 I love you, sister.
03:36 No, no, no, but it's true.
03:38 Right.
03:38 It's true.
03:39 I'm like that with the people who
03:41 help me in the industry.
03:43 I always look back.
03:44 I know.
03:45 Yeah.
03:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:48 You don't have to be obsessed with the past,
03:50 but it is good to know our beginnings.
03:53 Who is the better dancer?
03:55 Me.
03:55 Me.
03:56 [LAUGHTER]
03:57 Of course, me.
03:58 Me.
03:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:00 Actually, in fairness--
04:01 Very different.
04:02 Very different styles.
04:03 Yes, different styles.
04:04 You were about to say something.
04:05 Mine was-- my style was more on stagey.
04:09 It's like Bollywood.
04:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:19 I was with a recording company.
04:21 Yes.
04:22 So Mr. Ramon Chuey and James Lee discovered me,
04:26 and they looked for me, and then I already
04:30 got involved with Weeya Records.
04:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:33 Even the costume.
04:34 Costume.
04:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:35 [LAUGHTER]
04:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:42 Yes.
04:42 Yes.
04:43 You did films.
04:44 Yes.
04:44 So who is the better actor?
04:46 Of course, me.
04:47 Of course, me.
04:48 [LAUGHTER]
04:50 Me.
04:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:51 Definitely.
04:52 In the wild.
04:53 Yeah.
04:53 And then [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] that you became so
04:56 identified with Ate Guy, and you were identified with Ate V.
05:01 So you know, that rivalry.
05:03 Yes.
05:03 So between Ate V and Ate Guy, who is the better dancer?
05:07 [LAUGHTER]
05:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:10 [LAUGHTER]
05:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:12 [LAUGHTER]
05:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:14 No.
05:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:19 We cannot compare.
05:20 Uh-uh.
05:20 We cannot.
05:21 We cannot.
05:21 Because Vilma really dances so well.
05:23 Nora sings so well.
05:25 So it can't be.
05:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:41 The superstar, I would teach her 30 minutes before the show.
05:44 OK.
05:45 She can get the steps immediately.
05:47 Wow.
05:48 Yeah.
05:48 She's bionic.
05:50 Memory.
05:51 While Ati V--
05:52 Actually, they're the same.
05:53 Because during those times, the artists were really dedicated.
05:57 They were there.
05:58 They were so focused on what they were doing.
06:01 But were you affected by the rivalry of Ati Guy and Ati V?
06:06 Yes.
06:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:16 Yeah.
06:17 We don't know each other.
06:18 I don't know your dancers.
06:19 She doesn't know my dancers.
06:20 We don't know each other.
06:21 We get out of my way.
06:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:25 [LAUGHTER]
06:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:32 OK.
06:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:36 Of course I'm just cute.
06:39 But you're just quiet.
06:41 I'm just cute.
06:42 You're just cute.
06:43 How about Maribeth?
06:44 Oh, she's loud.
06:46 I'm not loud.
06:47 It's just that I'm not--
06:49 Because her dancers are so good.
06:52 But you can't tell us why.
06:54 But you can't tell us why.
06:54 You can't tell us why.
06:56 Why can't you tell us that Maribeth is so good?
06:58 Of course she's good.
07:00 We agree with you.
07:02 Oh my God!
07:03 Thank you, Lord!
07:05 Thank you, Lord!
07:05 You're so good.
07:07 Our creativity is different.
07:09 Who's better than the two of you?
07:11 Who's better than the two of you?
07:13 Just her.
07:15 Just her.
07:17 How many boyfriends have you had?
07:19 None. Zero.
07:21 How about you?
07:23 A lot. That's why I'm better than you.
07:25 They're all the same.
07:27 I'm good.
07:29 I'm good.
07:31 I love you.
07:33 Okay, let's see who's better at this fast talk.

09:47 Rumba.
09:49 Rollercoaster!
09:51 Rollercoaster!
09:53 Rollercoaster!
09:55 A few questions.
09:57 First,
09:59 among the stars today,
10:01 who's the best dancer?
10:03 And why?
10:05 Second, I want to talk about you.
10:07 I want to talk about
10:09 Marian and you.
10:11 How did you create the "Sabay Sabay Tayo"?
10:13 And if you guys were to be
10:15 remembered for a dance move
10:17 or a dance,
10:19 what would that be?
10:21 Let's talk about that
10:23 in our Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
10:25 We're back with
10:29 Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
10:31 We're still here with
10:33 the great choreographers,
10:35 Jelaine Eugenio and Marie Beth Bichara.
10:37 But a lot of celebrities
10:39 have come to you.
10:41 Are they all grateful?
10:43 Are they all thankful?
10:45 Do they all know how to
10:47 look at the inside?
10:49 Sometimes, no.
10:51 Not all.
10:53 But most of them do.
10:55 Who's the hardest to teach?
10:57 Where?
10:59 Here in the Philippines.
11:01 I can't say.
11:03 But my dancers are bad.
11:05 They fell.
11:07 They fell.
11:09 Because they're bad.
11:11 Prima Donna and everything.
11:13 And you do not tell me,
11:15 "Please change your choreography."
11:17 There's someone like that.
11:19 She's changing her choreography.
11:21 Oh my God.
11:23 So the dancers told me,
11:25 "What can you do? Let's not change it."
11:27 "Because it's a show."
11:29 So there. It's like a lift.
11:31 Okay.
11:33 Marie Beth, have you experienced
11:35 I mean, some stars would say,
11:37 "I don't like your choreography."
11:39 No. Not at all.
11:41 But when I see them already awkward,
11:43 I change it already right away.
11:45 So there's no more discussion.
11:47 But I always ask my artists,
11:49 "Are you comfortable?"
11:51 Now, among the stars
11:53 who are working and you're watching,
11:55 who do you think
11:57 is the most capable?
11:59 For me, Marian Rivera is
12:01 she's like a total package.
12:03 Projection, right?
12:05 She's a projection because she's a "dea chai."
12:07 Projection.
12:09 She's a total package.
12:11 She's a total package.
12:13 "Dea chai."
12:15 Projection.
12:17 She's not only sexy,
12:19 but very graceful.
12:21 She's a miracle.
12:23 Marian Rivera is one of a kind.
12:25 She's a goddess.
12:27 Marie Beth, who comes to mind?
12:29 I have several.
12:31 I really love Yassie Pressman.
12:35 She dances so well.
12:37 But since there's no grace involved
12:39 in the dances now,
12:41 I have to change.
12:43 And then, Maha is a good dancer also.
12:45 But given the chance to work with them,
12:49 I will have to change their style.
12:51 Because I know…
12:53 How will you change their style?
12:55 I will remove
12:57 the stiffness of their dance.
12:59 And the over-sexiness
13:01 that it can be…
13:03 I can change it a bit.
13:05 I can jazz it a bit.
13:07 Because you will know
13:09 that you can jazz it.
13:11 You have it.
13:13 Yassie also has it.
13:15 Who else?
13:17 I don't know anyone else.
13:19 Sheline, you?
13:21 Marian. I worked with her.
13:23 She's good.
13:25 But if you say,
13:27 "I will make her a little more jazzy,"
13:31 like Maj or Yassie,
13:33 what does that mean?
13:35 What is the meaning of that?
13:37 Let's stand.
13:39 I want to understand.
13:41 For example.
13:43 No, no, no.
13:45 Because the dance now is more
13:47 on the boom, boom, pak.
13:49 They're all like that.
13:51 And they're all singing.
13:53 Okay.
13:55 So, I can change it
13:57 to make it more look good for them.
13:59 Because I will teach them first
14:01 how to walk.
14:03 That's important.
14:05 You can't be graceful
14:07 if you cannot walk
14:09 exactly how you want
14:11 to express yourself.
14:13 Oh.
14:15 So, there is the walk,
14:17 the way you move your shoulder,
14:19 the way you move it,
14:21 the way you put it around,
14:23 and the way you make hawe.
14:25 That's not there now.
14:27 All of them, suddenly,
14:29 they're all like that.
14:31 That's LA style.
14:33 Yes.
14:35 What is it, Jelene? The canto?
14:37 The canto and everything.
14:39 That.
14:41 But, from LA,
14:43 the choreographers of LA go to Korea.
14:45 And the Koreans go to LA
14:47 and to New York.
14:49 That's where they get all the...
14:51 What happens in the dance?
14:53 Is there a merging?
14:55 Yes, there is a merging.
14:57 They collaborate.
14:59 But if you will notice, like BTS,
15:01 my God, they're jazz dancers.
15:03 Yes.
15:05 It's really important.
15:07 They're jazz dancers.
15:09 They're jazz dancers.
15:11 So, for sure, they're given those kind of
15:13 classes also.
15:15 Jelene, let's do it together.
15:17 How did you compose
15:19 Marian Rivera?
15:21 Did you compose that, right?
15:23 Yes, I composed it.
15:25 She did?
15:27 I composed it.
15:29 How can that not be a legend?
15:31 Right?
15:33 But how did you invent that whole
15:35 choreography?
15:37 She inspired me so much.
15:39 Okay.
15:41 How is that movement?
15:43 Let's do it together.
15:45 It's one, two, three, and
15:47 four.
15:49 And raise your hands.
15:51 And then, one, two,
15:53 three, and four.
15:55 Step your feet.
15:57 And
15:59 turn your head.
16:01 Turn your head, boy.
16:03 Turn your head.
16:05 Put your hands here.
16:07 When you're on the set or in the dance studio,
16:09 can we have music?
16:11 [music]
16:13 One, two,
16:15 [music]
16:17 four, and
16:19 [music]
16:21 Come on, boy.
16:23 [music]
16:25 (upbeat music)
16:28 (upbeat music)
16:31 - Open up, open up!
16:36 (upbeat music)
16:38 (laughing)
16:48 (cheering)
16:56 - If you were to be remembered for a dance,
16:59 if you were to be remembered for a step or a move,
17:03 what would be the most epic dance you've done?
17:05 For example, if someone says,
17:07 "Jelene, what dance is that?"
17:09 If someone says, "Betshy, Marybeth, what dance is that?"
17:11 - I'll just do one.
17:13 They always know me.
17:14 - Okay, do it.
17:15 - This.
17:16 - Ah!
17:19 - After a dance.
17:21 - After a dance.
17:21 - After a dance.
17:22 For example, I dance like this.
17:25 - Camera!
17:26 - Oh!
17:28 - So that's Betshya, that's Marybeth.
17:34 Ikaw, Jelene.
17:35 - Sige.
17:35 Five, six, seven, eight.
17:37 Boom, boom, pa!
17:38 Boom, boom, pa, pa!
17:39 Boom, boom, pa!
17:40 Boom, boom, pa, pa!
17:41 Boom, boom, boom!
17:43 Boom, boom, boom!
17:44 Boom, boom, boom, boom!
17:46 - Oh!
17:46 (clapping)
17:49 (speaking in foreign language)
17:53 (speaking in foreign language)
17:55 - Can we have music, please?
17:57 (upbeat music)
17:59 (laughing)
18:13 (upbeat music)
18:15 (speaking in foreign language)
18:21 - Thank you very much.
18:22 (speaking in foreign language)
18:26 Stay kind.
18:29 (speaking in foreign language)
18:30 Hashtag say thank you.
18:32 Let's talk again tomorrow.
18:33 Goodbye for now, and God bless.
18:36 (upbeat music)
18:39 (yelling)
18:41 (upbeat music)
