00:00 Wow, Filipinos are really good at discarding when it comes to business, Audrey.
00:05 So, you can give me a free ride. We can go there.
00:07 Anyway, Audrey, this is Pinoy polymer clay artist who brings Filipino movie icons to life
00:15 through his works that we will get to know this morning.
00:19 But before that, let's all watch this.
00:24 In every shape, line, and detail, you wouldn't think that it's just made from a polymer clay.
00:32 By carving his hands and cleverly thinking, it seems that the characters are coming to life again
00:40 that became part of the movies loved by Filipinos or the Pinoy movie icons.
00:50 Here, he not only brings to life the characters from the movies,
00:55 but also the memories and experiences of the viewers
00:59 and the importance of culture and art in our country.
01:03 So, let's get to know the polymer clay artist Enrico Vudes here in Rise and Shine, Philippines.
01:15 There, to share his journey as a polymer clay artist, we will have Enrico Vudes.
01:22 Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine, Philippines.
01:24 Good morning, sir.
01:26 How did you get into polymer clay art and how long have you been doing this?
01:33 I've been doing this since 2014.
01:40 But I make edible ones.
01:43 At that time, I was requesting people to make non-edible ones.
01:50 That's why I started using polymer clay.
01:54 These are the people I make.
01:56 They are FPJ, Pak Mika, and Romy Dias.
02:00 Sir Enrico, if FPJ and Dolphy are alive, they will be happy with your works.
02:10 Because they are beautiful.
02:13 Sir Enrico, what are your inspirations for making sculptures of Filipino movie icons using polymer clay?
02:21 Of course, my inspirations are our iconic ones.
02:27 I want to remind them again.
02:30 I want to make them again.
02:33 Because, it's not only in the past.
02:37 It's not only in the past.
02:40 Because the artists are different now.
02:43 I want to remind them again.
02:46 That's why I started with FPJ, Pak Mika, and Romy Dias.
02:51 I also make Presidents.
02:54 Sir, what inspires you the most to make more works?
03:06 Of course, it's FPJ.
03:09 That's the first one I made.
03:11 I will focus on this first.
03:14 But when I made FPJ, I was still lacking in skills.
03:20 I couldn't make it.
03:24 So I told myself to practice.
03:27 So that when the time comes, I can make them properly.
03:32 And now, my works are okay.
03:37 Of course, he's the king.
03:39 The king of Filipino cinema.
03:41 The king of comedy.
03:43 Sir Enrico, what's the hardest part of making this kind of sculpture?
03:49 Of course, the face is the hardest part.
03:53 Because it's a bit difficult to make the face.
03:56 Because my reference is the picture.
04:00 And I will apply it in 3D.
04:02 It's really hard.
04:04 Because if you don't have the skills, it's hard to make it.
04:09 And the hands.
04:10 Even the hands are like that, it's hard to shave.
04:13 But because I really want to make them,
04:19 I practice well.
04:22 So that when the time comes, I can make them properly.
04:26 Because there are a lot of people who want to do it.
04:29 Not just them.
04:30 I want to make other actors and actresses.
04:34 And I want to make them remember.
04:40 Okay, sir.
04:42 Because of your talent and skill,
04:45 of course, a lot of people admire you.
04:48 A lot of people admire your works.
04:51 What's your reaction to this?
04:53 Of course, I'm happy.
04:55 Because of my hard work, I'm able to achieve this.
05:04 I learned a lot from what I did.
05:08 And I'm trying to revive them.
05:15 Do you have a plan to make famous actresses?
05:22 Like the female stars of the 70s and 80s.
05:25 Like Claudia Sobel.
05:27 Pepsi Paloma.
05:29 I can't reach it.
05:31 I want to make actresses.
05:35 Because that's what people are requesting.
05:38 Why only men?
05:40 I said, I will make actresses.
05:44 And I want to make Miss Gloria Romero.
05:49 She's young.
05:51 Then, Nora Honor.
05:53 Vilma Santo.
05:55 Silfan Roses.
05:57 Those are the actresses I want to make.
05:59 Sir, who do you want to make as actresses?
06:07 They are the ones who are requesting.
06:14 Sasha Padilla.
06:16 Dolphie.
06:20 But I removed her because she's the only one I'm making.
06:24 She's still in the process.
06:26 She's still in the process.
06:28 Your works are really amazing.
06:31 Thank you so much for giving us your time.
06:34 Sir Enrico Villudes, thank you so much.
06:37 Thank you so much, too, sir.
