00:00I started reading from the radio. I started reading from the radio. Mother would always say,
00:07dalawa lang ang original radio baby niya ako daw, tsaka si Alice.
00:10Yes. Ato, nalaman niyo po ba ang days before that she's pregnant?
00:16Actually, no. It was a surprise. I actually dreamt about her. And then I told my husband,
00:22oh, I dreamt about mother. Sabi niya, sinong mother? Sabi ko, si mother video ko.
00:26Sabi ko, ano ba yan? Is that a joke? Sabi niya, hindi. Ito nasa Facebook. Kasi hindi ko alam.
00:31I didn't even know that Father Remy passed away. Nalaman ko nalang. Kasi sabi ko,
00:36totoo ba yan? Baka fake news niyan. So I searched his name sa Facebook.
00:40Nilagay ko doon, Remy Maduro. Tas nakalagay, passed away. Ha? Sabi ko,
00:44namatay na siya. Tas nilibing pala ng August 8. And then that day, parang breaking news pa lang
00:51yung kay mother niya. She passed away. Parang wala pa, wala pa dito. Parang breaking news na.
00:56Parang kamamatay na pa lang. Eh, I think that was Saturday or Sunday.
01:01Sunday po. Sunday. Sunday. Atos the next day may taping ako. So wala pa namang dito.
01:07So I didn't know where to go at all. Then I was taping Monday, Tuesday. Ngayon lang talagang
01:12free day ko po. So Thursday, Sunday, April 14.
01:15One last question Ms. Dino. What's your fondest memory with Mother Remy?
01:20Mother? Actually it's hard for me to... Also, parang hindi pa nagsisipin sa akin kasi
01:31Mother was really like a mother to me. Because when I started, I know how many times she would spank me
01:39kasi palpak yung Tagalog ko. She would call me itong malinding bikulanan ito. Yan ang favorite dialogue niya sa akin.
01:47We would eat lugaw together, be in her kitchen together. She would be taking a bath and I'm inside the
01:53banyo waiting for her while she's taking a bath. That close. That close. She would even call the
01:59masayi sa... Dora e ba na yun? Masayi mo si Dina dito. Mother, why am I in your room? You stay there.
02:06Tapos minsan pag nagsiseryo siya kay father, ako yung pananggan niya.
02:10Mayan ako si father, mayan ako si mother nag-imagine ka walang ginagawa si family.
02:14Pag mag-aaway na sila, nandun ako sa gitna. Sabi ko, why am I here?
02:18So there was even a time na si Meme and Roselle, parang nagsiseryo sila kasi lagi ako nasa room ni Mother.
02:24And I would tell her, why am I always in your room? I wanna go out.
02:27No, ako yung pinakarebelde actually. Pero mahal na mahal niya ako kasi I tell her what's in my head.
02:35Pero dahil dun eventually naging sobrang close din ako kay Meme and Roselle. I was like the third girl in her...
02:42Well, I was like the ate amongst her children. So parang in fact my name was supposed to be Marilyn Montague.
02:51Kaya lang sabi nga nila she won Miss Magnolia, first runner-up as Dina Bonny Lee.
03:00So that's just what her name was. But I was almost Marilyn Montague. Parang that was my screen na dapat.
03:09I'm just happy na nakita ko si Meme and Roselle kasi it's like seeing siblings that I missed for so long ago.
03:17Mother and I would travel to the States, to Hong Kong. I will miss her sense of humor.
03:24She's so funny and I really treated her like a mom. Even nung nag-asawa na ako and all, I would call her all the time.
03:34Tell her about my life, my problems, what I'm going through. Even yung mga kids ko sinakausap mo.
03:42Ganun kami ka-close ni mother. I'm really one of her closest alhaga.
03:49Ano yung hindi mo makakalimutan project sa Regal Miss Dina?
03:53O yung mga unang melaunch ka?
03:57Well, syempre 14. Kasi that was my first solo star. Temptation Island was my first movie but 14 is when I wore the magic amulet.
04:06Practically all throughout the shooting of that, mother would come to Ilocos to visit.
04:13She watched the whole pictorial. Everything lahat. Pati yung haircut. Kasi I was 17 when I did the torso.
04:25Pati yung magiging hairstyle ko. Nakakuha kong bata and all.
04:30But it wasn't so far away from who I was at that time because I think I had my menstruation at 15. Late bloomer din talada ako.
04:39So yung soya yung video?
04:41Yes. Thank you po.
