00:00I'll start with a happy birthday song.
00:30To everyone listening to Dizzy Double B, welcome to the program.
00:35And to everyone here in the studio, thank you very much.
00:42Happy birthday, Marian Rivera.
00:45Congratulations for winning Best Actress in Cinemalaya 2024 for the movie, Balota.
00:53Happy birthday, Kath Veri and Jessette Medina, our post-PAs.
00:58Thank you very much.
01:00Let's start our program with For Today's Talk.
01:04Prior to the Senate inquiry of the Committee on Public Information and Mass Media earlier this afternoon,
01:10Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz were the accused in the sexual harassment case filed by Sandro Mulac in the National Bureau of Investigation.
01:22Jojo Trecha denied the accusations filed by Sandro against them.
01:27Here is their statement.
01:31We are independent contractors of the GMA Network, which deals with the online posts that were spread the past few days.
01:39However, we did not commit any sexual harassment or abuse against Sandro Mulac.
01:46During our time in the industry, we did not receive any sexual harassment or abuse complaints.
01:55Therefore, we will not destroy the reputation, career, and reputation that we care about in order to abuse or harass a person.
02:10In the end, we also ask for justice.
02:12We hope that justice will give us a fair chance.
02:16So that we can prove to the fiscal court that we are not guilty.
02:22Let's just wait for the process, the due process.
02:26While we are waiting for that, we ask the people not to judge us first.
02:33Let the convicted criminals go first.
02:37Guys, Sandro, we did not do anything wrong to you.
02:42And you know that in your heart.
02:44It's not too late for everyone to tell the truth.
02:52Jojo confirmed that they were texting Sandro after the GMA gala on July 20.
02:59But he denied that it was Sandro Di Umano who went to Richard's hotel room and did not invite him.
03:08Jojo denied that he added substance to the wine that the actor drank.
03:14According to Sandro's lawyer, Atty. Zarina Quintanilla-Raz,
03:19they presented a copy of the text conversation of Sandro and Jojo and other evidence to support Sandro's allegations.
03:29But according to the NBI, they cannot release it to the public because their investigation is still pending.
03:35Jojo also requested that they answer the other questions of the Senators in an executive session to honor the confidentiality of the investigation.
03:47Thank you very much.
03:48Meanwhile, we have a guest.
03:51We are happy because we have a beautiful and happy guest.
03:551994 Binibining Pilipinas International, Alma Concepcion and Muchanang Pilipinas 1995, Maricel Morales.
04:13Finally, thank you very much.
04:15Make yourselves comfortable.
04:17Did you have a conversation?
04:18No, the three of us had a conversation.
04:20When we saw each other, we were so happy.
04:25Yes, right?
04:26Beauty queens.
04:27We are talking about beauty contests.
04:291994-1995.
04:30At that time, were there any teams that had beautiful flores, Asian queens, and many more?
04:39Were there any?
04:40None.
04:41All we know is that there were designers.
04:44You were the one who pushed me.
04:47It's a local team, but like their trainings now and all.
04:53In Metro Manila, like for me.
04:55What did they show you?
04:56Okay, this is good.
04:57During your time?
04:58Yes.
04:59Come on, join us.
05:00During our time, there were designers, right?
05:03Like models.
05:04Of course.
05:05We're talking about models in the loom.
05:08Yes.
05:10Most of the time, designers are the ones who give tips and everything.
05:16But the walking and everything.
05:19Was there no Pasarela training?
05:21We were just ourselves.
05:23How did you walk?
05:24You're laughing.
05:25Hi, Shaline.
05:26Shaline is watching.
05:27Hello.
05:28I haven't seen Shaline in a long time.
05:30Who's older?
05:31You first.
05:32What did you walk in 1994?
05:34Yes, something like that.
05:36Okay.
05:37This pose, because you modeled during that time.
05:41Yes.
05:42And actually, when you hold like this, there's a silhouette of an S-form.
05:47Back then, there was a trend for that.
05:50Right?
05:51That's right.
05:52So there should be an S-form.
05:53And then?
05:54And then, there were a lot of walks like this.
05:58Like this.
06:00Like this.
06:01Just calm.
06:02Like this.
06:03Just calm.
06:04Just calm.
06:05Just relax.
06:06Just relax.
06:07So nobody taught you that?
06:08You just know that?
06:09Yes.
06:10Because we came from ramp modeling also, before the pageant.
06:14So in ramp modeling, we can see the senior models.
06:19And then, we just observe.
06:21Yes.
06:22Just like that.
06:23Okay.
06:24What about you, Maricel?
06:25What did you walk?
06:26Wow.
06:271995 Ducanan, Philippines.
06:28As in promise, nothing.
06:31I don't have a soft body.
06:34Really?
06:35Just like that.
06:39Just like that.
06:40It's simple.
06:41But it's more of a model.
06:42It's more of a model attack.
06:45Back then, we didn't have any training.
06:49So I remember, even the first pageant that I joined,
06:52I was walking like this.
06:53Because it was my first time wearing swimsuit.
06:55And I couldn't separate my legs.
06:56Because I was embarrassed.
06:57I felt like I was going to slip.
07:00But the walk of the models, I said, it's a model attack.
07:02It's almost like that, right?
07:04Just like that.
07:05Just straight.
07:06Okay.
07:07What about you, Wendy?
07:08Did you go for training?
07:09Did you prepare for it?
07:10During our time in Binibini,
07:12we each have our own notebook.
07:14Okay.
07:15So during the rehearsal,
07:16we will open the notebook.
07:18Then, we will compare the possible questions.
07:21Then, we will share.
07:22On your own?
07:23We will share the questions of the candidates.
07:24Oh, you will share.
07:25Yes.
07:26Just like that.
07:27What about you, Maricel?
07:28With me, I had to be updated with the current affairs.
07:34So what I did,
07:35I subscribed to Reader's Digest.
07:37I read National Geographic and everything.
07:42Then, I know not only in the Philippines,
07:45but even what's going on outside the country.
07:48Just in case.
07:49I remember during the pre-judging,
07:52I was asked,
07:53who is the female leader that you like?
07:57At that time,
07:58the most popular one is Benazir Bhutto.
08:02Oh.
08:03That's the one.
08:04Okay.
08:05I think I said something.
08:07If I'm not mistaken,
08:08Benazir Bhutto is our president's classmate.
08:11Yes.
08:12They went to school together, right?
08:14President Bombo Marcos.
08:15Yes.
08:16Really?
08:17What was the question?
08:18What did you learn in joining pageants?
08:20Because when I joined Binibini,
08:22it was like my,
08:23there's Hawaiian Tropic,
08:25Hawaiian Tropic International.
08:26You came from there.
08:27It's different.
08:28Apa Ongpin asked me,
08:29what did I learn in joining pageants?
08:31What did you say?
08:32I said,
08:33it's showing the best in me.
08:34Not only my physical beauty,
08:35but also my internal beauty,
08:37which is coming from the heart.
08:38And also,
08:39to test my faith in God.
08:41That's my answer.
08:43Binibini,
08:44Binibini International 1994, right?
08:46It's simple.
08:47Was there a rivalry back then,
08:49between Mutia and Binibini?
08:51I didn't feel anything.
08:52You?
08:53Me too.
08:54I didn't feel anything.
08:55Although,
08:56you would hear talks around that,
08:58you know.
08:59But that didn't affect you?
09:00It didn't affect me.
09:01Not really.
09:02Because I have a lot of friends,
09:03who are from Binibini.
09:05Michelle Aldana,
09:06made it to showbiz also.
09:08And a lot of you,
09:09became artists.
09:10Yes.
09:11Let's make this quick.
09:12Before we do fast talk, Alma.
09:14You've been through a lot.
09:16I was with you in her other stories.
09:18Let's go straight to this,
09:20because we don't have so much time.
09:22Alma,
09:23I remember during your pregnancy,
09:25in one of the stories,
09:26you said,
09:27this is the lowest point in your life.
09:29Yes.
09:30One of the darkest,
09:31periods of your life.
09:32And then,
09:33when Guam happened,
09:34Yes.
09:3523 days in Guam,
09:37Yes.
09:38because of drugs.
09:40A lot of people thought,
09:41how can Alma come back?
09:43The question is,
09:44how did you maneuver?
09:46How did you turn your life,
09:48to where you are now?
09:51Whole,
09:52happy,
09:53content,
09:54strong.
09:55How did you do it?
09:56It was hard to do.
09:58Actually,
09:59I went through depression.
10:00I took medication for,
10:01right after I gave birth.
10:03It was 1998 in Guam.
10:04I was pregnant in 2000.
10:06Then,
10:07I had a break.
10:08When I was pregnant,
10:09I was not working,
10:10and my family worked,
10:12against the pregnancy.
10:14I didn't have my family with me.
10:16And then,
10:17after that,
10:18I gave birth.
10:19And after I gave birth,
10:20I went through,
10:21very,
10:22very bad postpartum.
10:23And,
10:24I had to take,
10:25medications.
10:26And,
10:27it took me two years,
10:28to accept,
10:29that I needed to see a psychiatrist.
10:30So,
10:31those two years,
10:32prior to the medication,
10:33was,
10:34really hard.
10:35I was just,
10:36breathing dead.
10:37Because,
10:38my panic attacks were round off.
10:39It was like,
10:40I was just breathing,
10:41but I was dead inside.
10:43So,
10:44I really,
10:45advocated,
10:46whenever people have,
10:47they have symptoms of depression,
10:50I really tell my friends,
10:51give my number.
10:53Because I tell them,
10:54And what do you say to them?
10:55Don't do what I did.
10:57Suffered without medication.
10:59Just go straight,
11:00to the point.
11:01Just go straight to medication.
11:02Because you will just waste,
11:04days and hours of your life.
11:06And I saw,
11:07on a,
11:08may mga in-interview na mga pare,
11:10about depression.
11:11And even,
11:12yung sinabi ng pare,
11:13na,
11:14you have to combine,
11:15science and religion.
11:16So,
11:17I always tell them,
11:18wag mo nang palalain yan.
11:19Just take medication.
11:21Go for help.
11:22Yes.
11:23Ito mapanghas din ang tanong.
11:24Dahil sa kwento ng iyong buhay,
11:26may nadaanan lang akong article,
11:28that,
11:29in that particular interview,
11:31you wouldn't even name your ex.
11:33Parang may ganon.
11:34Kabataan days.
11:35Kabataan days.
11:36Oo.
11:37Maricel,
11:38take away from the equation,
11:41yung inyong mga anak.
11:43Do you regret,
11:46na,
11:47na meet mo ang iyong ex?

11:52wala yung case.
11:53Wala yung mga anak?
11:54Um, no.
11:55Kasi,
11:56I think,
11:57part of that story has,
11:59made me who I am now.
12:01Kumbaga,
12:02marami din akong mga lessons,
12:04na natutunan from that experience.
12:06And,
12:07somehow I think it's,
12:08it also made me a better person.
12:10But can you name his name now?
12:11Yes.

14:58Hanggang saan dapat makialam?
15:00Ang mga nanay sa kanilang mga anak
15:02pagdating sa pera
15:03at pagdating sa buhay pag-ibig.
15:05Mainit na pinag-uusapan po ito
15:07dahil sa kontrobersiya na
15:09kinalalagyan ng ating
15:11you made us proud, Carlos
15:12and his mom.
15:13Go ahead, Alma.
15:15Kasi nandito ko sa age ngayon
15:16na yung anak ko
15:17nagre-resist talaga sa akin.
15:19Pino-push away niya ako sometimes.
15:21So I learned that
15:23pagdating sa bata
15:24at saka pag-transition niya
15:25sa adulthood
15:26dapat mag-shift tayo ng cap.
15:28Pagbata, ang cap natin is coach.
15:30Lahat sa sabihin natin
15:31do this, do that, do this, do that.
15:32But pag nag-adult na,
15:34kailangan natin mag-counselor cap.
15:36Nahintay na lang natin
15:37silang lumapit.
15:39You cannot dictate na lahat.
15:41Nagre-resist na sila.
15:43Maricel, ikaw?
15:44I think I share
15:45Alma's thoughts.
15:47Kasi parang when they're young
15:49and they're minors,
15:50they're fragile
15:51and madali, easily swayed.
15:53So constant yan eh.
15:54That you have to be there
15:55constantly for them.
15:57But you know,
15:58nung mga 16, 17 sila
16:00as they were going through
16:01adulthood na,
16:03nakikita mo na rin na pwede na
16:05na may sense of independence na
16:07na kaya na din nila
16:08they can decide.
16:09And you have to give them
16:10that space din.
16:12Kasi hindi pwedeng all the time
16:13na super tutokat sa kanila.
16:15Kasi otherwise,
16:16hindi rin nila may explore
16:18ano ba yung limits nila.
16:20Wala namang...
16:21Lalo na sa amin,
16:22for example,
16:23sa amin, lalaki,
16:24we want to exercise
16:25their masculinity.
16:27Yung pagiging assertive nila.
16:29Kasi kung parati kami nandyan,
16:31bakal lumambot.
16:32We want to give them legs.
16:34We want to be able to
16:35spine and legs
16:36to be able to stand up.
16:38Ang sarap pag-usapan, no?
16:39Wala lang tayong oras.
16:41But it's very nuanced.
16:42Para sa akin,
16:43walang black or white.
16:45Parati ko sinasabing,
16:46make your nanay proud.
16:47Maraming maraming salamat.
16:48Thank you so much.
16:49Maraming salamat.
16:50Thank you very much.
16:52Sa inyong pagdalaw,
16:54maraming maraming salamat.
16:56Ay, oo na ba,
16:57sana na maulit.
16:59Gusto ko makita pa rin
17:00yung mga lakaran.
17:02Beauty Dorm, thank you.
17:05Rhea, maraming salamat.
17:07Naytay, Kapuso,
17:08maraming salamat po
17:09sa inyong pagpapatuloy sa amin,
17:10sa inyong mga tahanan

17:15And say thank you.
