00:02 Good evening Kapuso!
00:04 Let's let Boya Bunda rest first
00:06 because it's our turn
00:08 for GMA Integrated News.
00:10 For him, it's the My Interview.
00:12 Tito Boy shared one of his
00:14 long-planned activities.
00:16 He wants to have a census
00:18 to count the members of the LGBT
00:20 community in the Philippines.
00:22 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
00:24 [music]
00:26 It will be a year
00:28 after his return as a Kapuso.
00:30 One-on-one,
00:32 GMA Integrated News
00:34 talked about the one and only King of Talk.
00:36 Kuya Boy, I never imagined
00:38 I would say this.
00:40 Kuya Boy, let me borrow 20 minutes of your time.
00:42 [laughter]
00:44 Most willingly.
00:46 Fast Talk is already one year
00:48 in January.
00:50 I'm sure there are people who marked
00:52 interviews with you.
00:54 Who are they?
00:56 [laughter]
00:58 Because every interview
01:00 is very unique.
01:02 What we discover in Fast Talk
01:04 is what seems
01:06 is not always what is.
01:08 I don't judge my interviewees.
01:10 We don't condescend.
01:12 We believe that
01:14 everybody has a story.
01:16 If we're talking about setbacks,
01:18 it wasn't easy
01:20 for Kuya Boy to go through.
01:22 Kuya Boy, do you consider yourself successful?
01:24 Yes.
01:26 It depends on the measure of success.
01:28 I've long been successful.
01:30 I come from nowhere.
01:32 I come from nowhere.
01:34 I come from nothing, Nelson.
01:36 I roam the streets of Manila.
01:38 I slept on the benches of Luneta.
01:40 Because I had no place to stay.
01:42 Yes.
01:44 I was hungry.
01:46 Sometimes I had no food.
01:48 That's what I did.
01:50 So,
01:52 I think
01:54 I was a failure
01:56 when I said
01:58 I wasn't successful.
02:00 As an LGBTQIA+ icon,
02:02 he says he has
02:04 something important
02:06 he wants to do for the gay community.
02:08 I haven't talked about this publicly.
02:10 I want to launch
02:12 the Philippine LGBT Census.
02:14 What is this?
02:16 I want to count
02:18 how many
02:20 LGBT people
02:22 are in this country.
02:24 I believe
02:26 that data is power.
02:28 If we can know
02:30 how many LGBT people are in this country,
02:32 it's simple.
02:34 I will go to the Senate and say,
02:36 "Senators,
02:38 we are 7 million.
02:40 Do you want to listen to us?"
02:42 When he returned,
02:44 he said
02:46 that COVID-19
02:48 had a big effect on him
02:50 as a person.
02:52 That's when I realized
02:54 that I want to become
02:56 a better person because I'm not sure
02:58 what's going to happen tomorrow.
03:00 Nana is a different story.
03:02 When I was sick,
03:04 I was thinking
03:06 about her, not me.
03:08 I was making sure every day
03:10 that she was okay.
03:12 Now that she's gone,
03:14 the dynamics of our lives
03:16 are different.
03:18 I still cry.
03:20 I don't want the pain to go.
03:22 I want the pain to stay
03:24 because that connects me to my mother.
03:26 On his 68th birthday,
03:28 he sent a message
03:30 to the youth.
03:32 If there's anything that you
03:34 would like to teach
03:36 the new generation,
03:38 millennials and gen Z,
03:40 how can we make
03:42 our Nana proud?
03:44 Be the best of who you are
03:46 and be the best in all that you do.
03:48 Be true to who you are.
03:50 Say I love you.
03:52 Articulate.
03:54 Speak it.
03:56 Nanay, I love you.
03:58 Nelson Canlas,
