00:00This is it, Derek, your moment. I can see that you're really putting a lot of effort, El.
00:13You're really putting a lot of effort every night for Pulang Araw. Yay!
00:19Congratulations, Derek, for Pulang Araw and of course, for the entire Pulang Araw tele-series.
00:25And the show was very successful. Can you share some of your proud moments from the set of Pulang Araw
00:33and the things that made you proud while filming it?
00:39My proudest moment is the fact that I was able to perform on stage.
00:43Because it's like theater, singing, that's really my passion.
00:48Ever since I was a kid, if I'm not an artist, I'm a singer.
00:52So I was able to combine acting and singing.
00:57It's also theatrical, so I also love theater.
01:01So that's my proudest moment.
01:03Before I did Pulang Araw, I did a lot of research.
01:12I'm really fond of watching things like this every night.
01:15World War II, World War I, everything. I'm fond of history.
01:18But the part that you researched the most, because Derek's part is in Baudeville, right?
01:24Yes.
01:25So that's the part that you researched the most, how is Baudeville in Japanese?
01:28Actually, that's already technical because you have to imitate it in a way.
01:34But what I researched was the feeling of the character.
01:37What's his feeling in the middle of the war?
01:39What's the feeling of being killed?
01:42What's the feeling of comfort women?
01:44I wanted to imbibe the fear of the character.
01:48Because anytime he can die, this is the kind of torture that will be done to him.
01:52But the songs, I feel like that's me.
01:57So I thought of the lyrics, I just sang it.
02:00I don't know how to interpret it.
02:02At the time of war, of course.
02:04But you know, I watched you in Rock of Ages.
02:07I thought you just tried to do theater, but it's your dream.
02:11Yes, it's one of my dreams.
02:14Because you're a natural model, right?
02:17You play the flute.
02:18I'm sure you're a good singer.
02:21And you can do the entablado.
02:25You're Tolitz, right?
02:28Sample? I didn't watch that.
02:30The famous...
02:33I love you so much.
02:36Here in my heart.
02:45Rock of Ages.
02:48And because Ella did that, she didn't force it.
02:51It's like, okay, let's do it right away.
02:53I'll do it for you.
02:54But if I get a request, tiktok.
02:58There it is.
02:59My heart is already beating.
03:03It's like this is really happening in real life.
03:07Okay.
03:08But guys, I'm proud of you.
03:11I hope you can continue.
03:12I hope so.
03:13I want to find out the opera.
03:14That's really international.
03:16After Rock of Ages, do you have more?
03:19Not yet.
03:20You haven't continued?
03:21No, I haven't.
03:22You have small all-out salaries, right?
03:26Then we'll have a stint.
03:29But the major...
03:30That's not good.
03:31Okay, guys.
03:32Let's wait.
03:33And let's pray for Derek to have a big opera.
03:37Yes, opera.
03:38He's good.
03:39But he's so strong.
03:42He's doing opera, he's a doctor.
03:45He's a doctor.
03:48Princess, why?
03:52But that's surprising to a Derek Monasterio.
03:56He has that kind of talent.
