00:00It's like a Chinese theater through a wall.

00:03Because here, the footprints of the people here are imprinted.

00:08And it was Brother Germs who suggested this.

00:10There are handprints and footprints there.

00:13When Dr. Perez brought me to America for the first time,

00:17we were in Bica and Dr. Perez took us around.

00:20So in Hollywood, the Chinese drama theater,

00:23in their lobby, there's a place like this.

00:27So I suggested to Dr. Perez and Mommy Perez

00:30that why don't we do the Sampaguita every weekend?

00:33It's like a tourist attraction, like Universal City.

00:38So they agreed.

00:39We tried it and it was successful.

00:43And there were also excursionists.

00:45Yeah.

00:46So we did the printing first.

00:50Then the makeup room, the clothes that Gloria and Susan used,

00:56we displayed all of that.

00:58So they can see it.

00:59And we edited the old movies,

01:01we printed it so that the audience can see it.

01:04Because there's a fee of one peso.

01:06Just one peso?

01:07Just one peso.

01:08I have a question.

01:09Because in the US, in Hollywood,

01:11there are a lot of veteran actors and actresses

01:14like Jesse Catandi at the time.

01:16And their careers are booming.

01:18Their careers are booming when they return.

01:20They even won awards like Jack Lemmon.

01:24And when he was still alive,

01:25he suddenly came back and he's so handsome.

01:28Do you feel that you want to do something like that again?

01:32Or are you happy that you can relax a bit?

01:37For me, no.

01:38I still want to appear on TV.

01:43You know, Denise and Jelly, it's in the blood.

01:46Once you enter this business,

01:49you can't leave it.

01:50You'll keep looking for it, right?

01:52What makes us sad is

01:55the lack of respect.

01:57Because in the US, until now,

02:00even if you're getting older,

02:02you're becoming more important to them.

02:05That's why the name of an artist,

02:07you can't see that they're lowering it.

02:09It will stay forever.

02:11It's already there.

02:13It's already there, you can't lower it.

02:16I agree with that, it's really germs.

02:18It's really a different trend

02:20from other Filipino producers.

02:23If you're not a superstar,

02:25you're just like a crowd.

02:28Like that.

02:29They forgot your achievements.

02:31Just like a crowd.

02:32There's also an issue of audience appreciation.

02:36Why?

02:36Sorry to say, but the audience of

02:41Filipino films is not yet mature.

02:44They're still there in the 60s,

02:46where they're just rejecting the kids.

02:51So maybe, as a producer,

02:54they should somehow educate those kids

02:58so that the audience can elevate their appreciation

03:02to all kinds of films and artists.

03:04Lito, I think, in my opinion,

03:08you can't blame the audience.

03:12The producer should take care of it.

03:15Because if the producer shows

03:17their respect to the artists they're getting,

03:20the fans will respect it too.

03:22Because, of course,

03:24they don't care about the billing.

03:27The artist doesn't look for you

03:29to put him up there.

03:31You put him in a place

03:33where he's respected.

03:35Actually, you, germs,

03:36I see what you're doing all the time.

03:38I learned so many things in this company.

03:40What you're doing now,

03:42what you're doing now,

03:44because it's a different kind.

03:46The artist of the day is like a diamond.

03:49It's really precious.
