00:00 Wow, I'm so impressed, Roco.
00:03 So you finished your master's in nursing?
00:06 Yes, I have a master of arts in nursing, which I can use.
00:11 Did you ever practice nursing?
00:13 I wasn't able to.
00:14 You weren't able to?
00:15 No, because when I was about to apply for my pre-med, that's when the announcement
00:21 for the top 40 star struck.
00:24 So it was a sit-down discussion with my parents, "Should I do it?"
00:30 And then my parents said, "Do it because you'll know if it's for you.
00:35 If you don't do it, you'll regret it.
00:38 You'll live your whole life thinking, 'What if?'"
00:41 I remember one of the stories was that you were practicing in a way by doing swabs, right?
00:47 Yes, that's right.
00:49 Actually, you know, Miss Pia, when I did that, that's what paid for our wedding.
00:55 It helped us so much because we were all, during the pandemic, and I was really going
01:03 through a stage of shocks.
01:04 What am I going to do with my life?
01:05 Am I going to spend all my money on paying for this house?
01:06 This house is already a big loss to me.
01:07 And then I said, I was talking to a few medical professionals also, I said, "Why don't
01:18 we start helping people and set up a clinic and then partner up with different laboratories
01:24 to be able to provide cheaper swab tests?"
01:27 Because I know, you know that, at that time, the testing fees skyrocketed.
01:34 So we made it affordable in a way that it's cheaper, but more people will avail, which
01:42 actually happened.
01:43 And because there were also a lot of people who were afraid to swab or they were scared
01:48 to get the virus, we were just lacking in manpower.
01:52 So the ending, we, the doctors, we were the ones going to the houses.
01:56 So what I was doing was wearing a lot of masks so that I wouldn't be recognized.
02:00 Then, I was just telling the nurse who I was.
02:02 "I'm here for your swab test."
02:04 Some were able to identify me, some weren't, which I enjoyed then because I felt normal
02:11 then.
02:12 Wow, that's so impressive, right?
02:13 So, not a lot of, of course, when you're an artist, you're used to being recognized.
02:14 And then, for others, "I'm an artist, I don't want to do other jobs."
02:15 But you were willing to do this.
02:16 And it wasn't just for yourself, right?
02:17 It wasn't just for your own income.
02:18 But like you mentioned, it was also as a help because swabbing was so expensive at that
02:19 time.
02:20 It started with just selling kits.
02:21 And then, not a lot of people knew how to really test themselves.
