01:02Please welcome,
01:04Jackie Lu Blanco!
01:06Woo!
01:08Nice to see you again.
01:10Hoi hoi!
01:12I'm always happy to see you here.
01:14Likewise, always.
01:16Time flies.
01:18And this year, you turned...
01:2016!
01:22Right?
01:24This is not an excuse.
01:26Some people say,
01:28that 16 is the new 50. It is.
01:30Yeah, that's what they say.
01:32Do you feel anything different?
01:34Well, of course,
01:36there are some changes.
01:38Biological changes.
01:40But as far as
01:42the way I think or what I want to do,
01:44what I still want to do,
01:46it's still the same.
01:48What are you looking forward to?
01:50I'm looking forward to having more grandchildren
01:52if my children can give me more grandchildren.
01:54I'm looking forward to making
01:56actually films.
01:58That's what I miss doing.
02:00Little boy, the films.
02:02Sometimes, when people
02:04are only watching you on TV,
02:06correct me if I'm wrong,
02:08it's like the feeling of other producers,
02:10Miss Jackie, maybe she doesn't want to do films
02:12because she's always on TV.
02:14But at my age, when you're younger,
02:16you can only play certain roles
02:18because you're that age.
02:20At my age, I'm not afraid of roles
02:22because I'm that age already.
02:24And you have a lot of kids.
02:26Right? I have a lot of kids.
02:28I can do that.
02:30I really want to do films.
02:32Meaningful films.
02:34A big actress,
02:36Jane Fonda, said that
02:38life is,
02:40this is not specified in some narratives,
02:42I caught her in an interview
02:44and she's talking about five chapters.
02:46Turning 60 is the third chapter.
02:48Chapters 1 and 2 rehearsals.
02:50Oh, I like that.
02:52That's her perspective.
02:54I just saw her
02:56in one of the Paris fashion shows.
02:58I saw her also, yes.
03:00I was at that age.
03:02Unbelievable.
03:04Actually, she reminds me of my mom.
03:06A lot.
03:08Although she's moving.
03:10Just her whole aura.
03:12That's the iconic Jane Fonda.
03:14Jack, when we say it's the third act
03:16and there are a lot of rehearsals,
03:18what are the highlights?
03:20One or two highlights of your dress rehearsals?
03:22Wow. Maybe my being a mom.
03:26Maybe another one would be
03:28having grandchildren.
03:34And trying to bring it into the third act.
03:36Okay.
03:38I understood the past
03:40has been rehearsals
03:42because there are a lot of mistakes
03:44and you still don't know a lot.
03:46I'm not saying that...
03:48You don't make mistakes anymore.
03:50Or that I still have a lot to learn.
03:52But those are rehearsals leading you
03:54to a better you.
03:56Leading you to a you that is more grateful
03:58and more,
04:00okay, I shouldn't have done that.
04:02But this time, I have the chance to do it better.
04:04Or this time, I'll just accept
04:06my faults
04:08during those years.
04:10And celebrate.
04:12It's a realization, Jack,
04:14that everything you've been through,
04:16the good and the bad,
04:18nothing is ever wasted.
04:20Exactly.
04:22Everything contributes to who you are today.
04:24Yes. Because there are things you can learn.
04:26Whether it's wrong or right.
04:28Whether you repeat the mistake.
04:30That's part of it.
04:32That's what makes you who you are.
04:34Yeah. Let's go to your journey
04:36in three photos.
04:38Let's go to...
04:40Three photos.
04:42Is this the first photo?
04:44Let's go to the first one.
04:46What is that?
04:48I'll go home first.
04:50I have nothing to say here.
04:52I'm wearing a bikini.
04:54That was fast, Miss Jackie.
04:56I was 14 years old.
04:58We were at an island called Putipot.
05:00I don't know where that is.
05:02It was a family vacation.
05:04I was wearing a yellow bikini.
05:06Right?
05:08Yes.
05:10That's embarrassing.
05:14Were you in love?
05:16Yes.
05:18I think Lloyd was my boyfriend.
05:20Lloyd was your boyfriend?
05:22What a wonderful conversationalist.
05:24Lloyd Sammartino.
05:26You're watching Lloyd.
05:28I had him with Rita.
05:30That's amazing.
05:32Surprising because I think it was my first
05:34or one of the very few I did with Lloyd.
05:36Anyway, that's for another story.
05:38Let's go to the next photo.
05:40After the bikini photo.
05:42Oh, this one is Friends in Love.
05:44That's in Baguio.
05:46The second movie.
05:48William, me, Sharon, and Roel.
05:50Directed by?
05:52Eddie Garcia.
05:54This is my second film.
05:56Let's go to the third photo.
06:00Oh, this is a photo taken by the late
06:02Romy Vito.
06:04I was pregnant with my son.
06:06He said,
06:08Let's just take photos.
06:10He's a natural light.
06:12The great Romy Vito.
06:14He took a lot of photos
06:16when I was doing my only love, Friends in Love.
06:18Sometimes he would say,
06:20Jackie, just stand there.
06:22Don't move.
06:24Oh, I miss him.
06:26I look at you now and you're so beautiful inside and out.
06:28This comes from the bottom of my heart.
06:30Who are you because of your mother?
06:34A lot.
06:36How much of that
06:38is your mother? How much of you
06:40is your mother?
06:42A lot. Because I was raised
06:44by my mom. My father was
06:46still alive, but it was my mom who was
06:48really there.
06:50Everything that I know,
06:52everything that
06:54I am as an actor,
06:56how to
06:58talk to people,
07:00how to
07:02make decisions,
07:04professionalism,
07:06how to treat other people,
07:08that's all my mom. Her zest for life,
07:10her joy, the importance of
07:12what she gives
07:14to your work, how you take care of her.
07:16That's all my mom.
07:18I know that.
07:20I have seen that.
07:22And her compassion. A lot.
07:24She was someone you always look forward to seeing.
07:26She was someone you look forward to
07:28being with.
07:30She was always there for my mom.
07:32Even when she went crazy,
07:34she would always see the good.
07:36Right.
07:38And her vibe was infectious.
07:40A lot.
07:42Was there a time, and you're beautiful,
07:44but your mom was beautiful, is still beautiful.
07:46She was a superstar.
07:48Was there a time
07:50when Jackie Lou
07:52was insecure?
07:54When I was starting, because I was always compared to my mom,
07:56my mom would just enter a room
07:58and everybody would look at her.
08:00Right?
08:02That's how my mom was.
08:04Right.
08:06Of course, I wasn't jealous,
08:08but could I be as good as her?
08:10Would people
08:12like me as much as they like my mom?
08:14But you know, that's a testament
08:16also to how beautiful my mom
08:18is as a person, because
08:20of what she has,
08:22what she has accumulated in the industry,
08:24as a person and as a singer,
08:26has been transferred to me and Mon,
08:28and my whole family.
08:30People are kinder.
08:34Always.
08:36So that's because of who she is.
08:38That's legacy.
08:40That's a beautiful legacy.
08:42Correct.
08:44I love her.
08:46Love you.
08:48Love you, Mom.
08:50Do fasto.
08:52Yes, I love that!
08:54I finally get to do fasto.
08:56Jackie,
08:58what does Pilita look like?
09:00What does Pilita look like?
09:02Beautiful or waistline?
09:04Beautiful.
09:06Forever sexy or forever pretty?
09:08Forever pretty.
09:10Was she hotter then or is she hotter now?
09:12She's hotter now.
09:14Workout or dinner date?
09:16Workout and dinner date.
09:18Next, house or palace?
09:20House.

09:42Give it a title.
09:44Grateful.
09:46Guilty or not guilty?
09:48Not guilty.

10:14Describe yourself as a daughter?
10:16Loveable.
10:18Describe yourself as a mother?
10:20Loveable.
10:22Describe yourself as an actress?
10:24Growing.
10:26Lights on or lights off?
10:28Lights on.
10:30Happiness or chocolates?
10:32For now, chocolates.
10:34Best time for chocolates?
10:36Anytime, after eating, after dinner.
10:38Complete this.
10:4060 is?
10:44Gratefulness.
10:46And nothing?
10:48You know?
10:50Negativity, bashing, cannot survive.
10:52Gratitude.
10:54True.
10:56When you have a grateful heart,
10:58you welcome everything and anything.
11:00And that's impregnable.
11:02But Jackie, are you open
11:04at this point in your life?
11:06Are you still open to love?
11:08And when we come back,
11:10please introduce your daughter to me.
11:12Yes.
11:14Introduce War.
11:16We'll be back with Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
11:30Excuse me.
11:32Yes, good afternoon.
11:34You're the principal here?
11:36Yes, I am.
11:38I'm Ruth, Ward's daughter.
11:40Hi.
11:42Can you tell me,
11:44why did you expel her?
11:46What did my daughter do?
11:48Oh, it's you.
11:50I think all the girls in this school
11:52were fooled by your daughter.
11:54I have no choice.
11:56Don't deny it.
11:58Wait a minute.
12:00Maybe it's true.
12:02I'm just jealous,
12:04but I can't do that.
12:06I told you to stop it.
12:08I'm really sorry.
12:10It's a done deal.
12:12You have been expelled.
12:14We went through the process.
12:16All the kids who work here
12:18were fooled.
12:20Come here, Chang Susan.
12:22Come here.
12:24Tell Ms. Ruth
12:26that your daughter is cheating on you.
12:28Ms. Ruth, it's true.
12:30She's cheating on me?
12:32I thought she was just going to say it.
12:34She's giving me money.
12:36She's giving me money.
12:38You got it from food?
12:40Tell her.
12:42When did she say I love you?
12:44Tell her.
12:50You got it from food?
12:52Welcome to Fast Talks.
12:54You got it from food?
12:56How does it feel
12:58that you were given the opportunity
13:00to act with
13:02Jackie Loblanco,
13:04Ms. Jean Garcia,
13:06and
13:10Carla Abellana.
13:12How does it feel?
13:14At first,
13:16I was intimidated
13:18by the people around me.
13:20Growing up,
13:22they're the ones you see
13:24and admire.
13:26You can't believe
13:28that you're with them now.
13:30They're the ones you're bonding with.
13:32It's different from
13:34when I was with them.
13:36You feel welcome
13:38and genuine.
13:40How do you handle that?
13:42How do you behave when you're nervous?
13:44Do you actually tell people,
13:46Ms. Jackie, sorry, I'm nervous.
13:48Do you say that?
13:50Yes, that's my mom's advice.
13:52She said,
13:54my friend is nervous.
13:56How nice.
13:58It's better to be a little nervous.
14:00Use it in the right way.
14:02Don't let it overwhelm you in a scene.
14:04Use it.
14:06I like that.
14:08I'm hearing it for the first time.
14:10Befriend your nervousness.
14:12Do you have that exercise?
14:14I was reading the materials
14:16and you do this rapid
14:18breathing,
14:20shallow breathing index.
14:22What do you do?
14:24Do you do that?
14:26Yes.
14:28You feel the character.
14:30You feel how nervous he is.
14:32Can you do it?
14:34Then you do that exercise.
14:36How does it go?
14:38Just breathe out.
14:40Show it.
14:42Then you think of the character.
14:44Yes.
14:46Think of the character you're nervous about.
14:48Do it.
14:54You repeat that.
14:56The physicality of this,
14:58I guess.
15:00It's funny because your kids have tools.
15:02They're coached.
15:04Did you ever forget a line?
15:06You forgot something
15:08because you were in front of
15:10Jean Garcia or Carla Abellana
15:12or Bea Alonzo?
15:14You won't believe it.
15:16Even my first scene with my mom,
15:18I was so nervous.
15:20But I was intimidated
15:22with Miss Bea Alonzo.
15:24Really?
15:26She was my idol
15:28when I was young.
15:30Popoy Basha.
15:32Yes, Popoy Basha.
15:34I remember that scene.
15:36What's good about Bea
15:38and all the other actors and widows
15:40is that they really help her.
15:42They give her tips.
15:44She really waits.
15:46When you're ready,
15:48even if it's take 2 or 3,
15:50remember the people who were kind.
15:52Remember.
15:54Because eventually,
15:56when you've been in the industry for a long time,
15:58you become them
16:00as opposed to the bad.
16:02Because not everybody is kind.
16:04Not everyone is kind in this industry.
16:06That's a reality.
16:08There are reasons why.
16:10But remember those who were kind.
16:12Because when you remember them,
16:14eventually, you become them.
16:16Yes.
16:18That's beautiful.
16:20That's what you want to do, right?
16:22Correct.
16:24Because at any point,
16:26you know that you've changed.
16:28You'll do the same to them.
16:30And that's what you saw in you.
16:32You remember that.
16:34What's your dream?
16:36I really want to be a successful actor
16:38in the future.
16:40Why?
16:42Because since I was young,
16:44I was fond of movies.
16:46At first,
16:48I was nervous about acting.
16:50Until now,
16:52I'm doing it.
16:54And I love it.
16:56You are in love with the craft, right?
16:58Yes.
17:00Do you have a girlfriend?
17:02No, I don't.
17:04Are you sure?
17:08If you were to give a piece of advice
17:10to Matthew,
17:12what would that be?
17:14I think for me,
17:16it's something that you can learn from everyone.
17:18Always be open.
17:20Always be a good person.
17:24Study hard
17:26for you to become better, right?
17:28And always treat everybody with kindness.
17:30More than anything,
17:32being an actor,
17:34you can learn that as long as you love it.
17:36But what matters
17:38the most
17:40is how good you are
17:42as a person.
17:44That's what matters the most.
17:46You also told me,
17:48be a good person first
17:50before you become a good actor.
17:52And vice versa.
17:54Let it be a cycle of goodness.
17:56Are you open to falling in love again?
17:58Of course.
18:00If God has somebody for me,
18:02yes, why not?
18:04I won't look for one,
18:06but if He will give one to me,
18:08then it's okay.
18:10Of course, I support you.
18:12Twenty, right?
18:14Yes.
18:16If you were to give Jackie
18:18an advice on love,
18:20what advice would you give to your mom?
18:22Maybe, Mom,
18:24it's okay
18:26to risk something,
18:28but
18:30don't forget
18:32the love you give
18:34to your children.
18:36Because I see Uncle Boy,
18:38she's a great mom.
18:40To Ricky, yes.
18:42Congratulations!
18:44She's now part.
18:46I know, Ricky May, if you're watching,
18:48I'm so happy.
18:50This is the last question.
18:52If you were to give me a love advice, what would it be?
18:54Uncle Boy, hello, Uncle Boy.
18:58I wouldn't dare.
19:00But invite everybody to watch
19:02Widow's War, please.
19:04Hello, Kapuso, I hope you continue
19:06to support Widow's War.
19:08Thank you so much
