00:00Oh my God!

00:02So cute!

00:09Let's go, let's go!

00:17Good afternoon, Filipinas and the whole world!

00:20I'm Kai Capuso,

00:21I've been your host for the last 20 minutes.

00:23I'm Boy, and welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Aguilar.

00:26Welcome to the program!

00:56They agreed to serve Ken's warrant of arrest on September 24.

01:03Aside from Ken, there are 7 other people who were charged by a businessman

01:08regarding his failed investment of Php 14 million.

01:16There are other individuals who filed a separate case against Ken.

01:22We are closely monitoring this story.

01:25As soon as we get information, we will share it with you.

01:32Is that okay, Bel?

01:34In another story, Naytay Capuso,

01:37a couple of weeks ago, I did an interview with I.I. de las Alas for My Mother, My Story.

01:41Thank you very much for your support for our special.

01:49I remember, there was one question I asked Aileen,

01:54and I asked her what she was afraid of.

01:56The first thing she said was that she was afraid to be alone.

02:00But when that time came, she said, I think I can do it.

02:04And then, some friends asked,

02:08some noticed that I.I. de las Alas had tears in their eyes.

02:14And they were asking one particular question,

02:18why didn't she mention, and why didn't we talk about Gerald,

02:23the cousin of her husband.

02:25This started when I.I. and Gerald separated.

02:34When I was in the United States,

02:36I was on vacation for two weeks.

02:38Thank you very much.

02:40I.I. and I had a common friend in America who asked,

02:43Boy, did I.I. and Gerald separate?

02:47And my answer was, I don't know.

02:49And that's the truth.

02:50When I was in the United States, I really didn't know.

02:53But I said, let's ask,

02:55because I don't consider Aileen just an artist.

02:59She's family.

03:01She is family to me.

03:04So, there were rumors,

03:07there were speculations,

03:09there were people saying that I.I. and Gerald separated.

03:14This is what happened.

03:16On Monday, November 11,

03:18I.I. is celebrating her 60th birthday

03:21here on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

03:24And we will ask,

03:25did I.I. and her husband separate?

03:28We will find out together.

03:31That is one of the questions that we will discuss.

03:34It all started when I wanted to celebrate her birthday.

03:38I wanted to invite her to the show

03:40because I wanted to talk to I.I.

03:42about her most memorable birthdays in her life.

03:46And of course, this question needs to be addressed.

03:50There are those who insist that they are separated.

03:53There are those who say, maybe it's just a fight between husband and wife.

03:56There are those who say it's not true.

03:59You will find out the truth here on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

04:02Thank you very much.

04:04Meanwhile, this afternoon,

04:06one leading man,

04:08one family man,

04:09is our guest,

04:11a man with a big heart.

04:12Please welcome,

04:13Jeff Aiganat.

04:17Hello, how are you?

04:18I'm good.

04:19Good to see you again.

04:20Happy to see you, please.

04:22Thank you very much.

04:24How are you?

04:25You know, I was on my way here.

04:27I was talking to a friend.

04:28I said, my guest is Jeff.

04:30He said, yes.

04:32You know, the collective question is,

04:34how are you?

04:36It's been a while,

04:38but honestly, I've been good, Uncle Boy.

04:40It was a change of pace for me.

04:42Being in the limelight for a while,

04:45during that time, being in the center of attention,

04:47then suddenly, focus on family.

04:49So, it was a big turnaround for me.

04:51And I wouldn't have it any other way, honestly.

04:54How difficult was that turnaround?

04:57Well, it was difficult in the sense that

05:01I work every day before,

05:03and then I'm stuck at home with the babies.

05:05And then, in my case,

05:08we have kids one after another.

05:10You have three, right?

05:11Yes, we have three kids.

05:13They're all 7, 5, and 4.

05:157, 5, and 4, to be correct.

05:17And when they're together, it's complete chaos.

05:21But it's awesome.

05:22Like I said, I wouldn't have it any other way.

05:24It's really fun to be a father.

05:26Okay.

05:27So, involved with the kids,

05:29meaning, hands-on.

05:32Yes, I wake up in the morning to wake them up to go to school.

05:36I'm the one who picks them up.

05:38As in, pretty much, my world is really them.

05:42It's really my family.

05:43Jeff, and you are happy.

05:45Yes, very happy.

05:46You're with your mini-me, right?

05:48Yes, yes.

05:49How did you change?

05:50I mean, what other changes happened in your life

05:53because of your children?

05:55Because of fatherhood.

05:56Oh, I guess, the biggest change when you're a father,

06:00you tend to look inside more.

06:03Because, in my case, a lot of things happen to me

06:08that I react a certain way to my kids.

06:11And after that happens, I think,

06:14why did I do that?

06:16Honestly, I've never apologized so much in my life

06:19since having kids.

06:21Because next thing you know,

06:23I suddenly realized that I'm such a hothead

06:25when it comes to little things and all that.

06:27So, what do you apologize for to your children?

06:30Mostly being out of line.

06:34Because they are kids.

06:36It's hard for them to grasp certain things

06:39because they don't understand the world fully yet.

06:42So, the world of children is different from the world of adults.

06:45So, of course, as much as possible,

06:47I try to explain myself to my kids.

06:51It's because daddy's having a bad day.

06:54That's why I reacted that way.

06:55So, I have to explain more things.

06:58I tend to apologize because I'm always the one to blame.

07:02And it's not their fault.

07:03And have you become more giving?

07:05Have you become more patient?

07:07Yes, yes.

07:08Ever since our firstborn,

07:10there's been a huge change,

07:12especially now with our youngest, who's four years old.

07:15My wife noticed that it's different.

07:18The way we handle things with our youngest

07:21is different from our firstborn and our secondborn.

07:26Because with our firstborn, we were still learning.

07:29So, now, it's more of like we have everything under control.

07:33And we're more educated about being parents.

07:38So, it's easier this time around.

07:40You said earlier that you've never apologized more than this stage in your life.

07:46And what you did well,

07:48you said that fatherhood has made you look inside.

07:53Yes.

07:54We're coming from a job, coming from a business,

07:56when the external, when presentation is what we live for.

08:01Yes, yes.

08:02Right? What is the perception of a person?

08:03Validation from an audience.

08:05I'm a happy artist.

08:06I'm a handsome artist.

08:08So, that was where I was coming from

08:10when I was asking about the pivot.

08:15You didn't have a hard time.

08:18It was quite an adjustment.

08:20It was a mind-bender, if I can say.

08:23Because it's a totally different world.

08:26If you're an artist,

08:28you do play with your emotions on screen and all that.

08:33But when you're an actor, when you're a public figure,

08:36it's hard to wear your heart on your sleeve.

08:38Because everybody will see.

08:40You can't have a bad day and show it to people.

08:43You should always have the...

08:45So, in a sense, I was just confused.

08:48But now, everything's better.

08:51I'm in a better place now.

08:52I have a better understanding of what's going on in my life.

08:55Jeff, did you imagine that you'd reach this stage?

08:59Not this way.

09:00Not this way.

09:01I've always imagined myself as a kid,

09:05but technically, I'm a late bloomer.

09:08How are you as a husband?

09:10I would like to say I'm sweet.

09:12You are?

09:13Yeah.

09:14But I also have my shortcomings, that's for sure.

09:17No one is perfect.

09:19I mean, I always say that.

09:20Not because people say it.

09:22No one is perfect.

09:23We all have shortcomings.

09:25Yes, that's true.

09:26We all have shortcomings, right?

09:28Yeah.

09:29All of us.

09:30We all have our shortcomings.

09:32In my case, it's better because I found someone

09:35who understands what's going on with me.

09:38So, I explain to her.

09:40We talk about things.

09:42And we're always on the same page about everything.

09:44And through our eight years together,

09:47we've been through a lot.

09:49And I'm sure that we're still going to be going through

09:51so much more stuff.

09:52But we're a team.

09:54So, it's going to be hard to stop us.

09:56But as an artist, as a public figure,

09:58do you miss it?

10:00Yes.

10:01You do miss it?

10:02Yes, yes.

10:03I do.

10:04It's something that I pretty much grew up in.

10:07Our whole family does it.

10:09I've done it ever since I was young.

10:11It's an understatement.

10:12Your whole family.

10:13Then your whole clan.

10:14Yes.

10:16So, it's good to be here again.

10:19Being inside the studios,

10:22feeling nostalgic because of how my life was

10:25like 20 years ago.

10:27So, it's been a while.

10:29But it's still in the blood.

10:31And I don't think it will ever go away.

10:33Yeah.

10:34The question here, it's in the blood.

10:37Are you open?

10:38If one of the children or all of them

10:40say, Pa, I want to be an artist.

10:43Are you open?

10:44Honestly, today before coming here,

10:46my youngest daughter who's 4 years old

10:48had a school play.

10:50And?

10:51Yes.

10:52And she was spectacular.

10:54I'm not being biased or anything.

10:55But she was really so cute.

10:57She played Snow White.

10:58And I was so happy.

11:00It brought a tear to my eye watching her perform.

11:02But honestly, with your question,

11:04it's really up to them.

11:06The same thing my parents did to us.

11:09Mike and Gina.

11:10Yes.

11:12They gave us the option to choose

11:14if we want to be in show business or not.

11:16And that's beautiful.

11:17That's what we're going to do with them.

11:19With your children.

11:20Yes.

11:21And what I'm going to do now is

11:22I'm going to do fast talk with you.

11:24Okay.

11:25Let's do fast talk.

11:27Two minutes to do this

11:28and our time begins now.

11:29Leading man, family man?

11:31Family man.

11:32Superman, super dad?

11:33Super dad.

11:34Grasilda, Contessa?

11:36Oh, both fun.

11:38But I would have to go with Contessa.

11:40Contessa.

11:41Rosalinda, Adarna?

11:44It's hard to answer.

11:46Adarna.

11:47Vida, Contra Vida?

11:49I enjoy doing both,

11:50but now I think I'd be more open to Contra Vida roles.

11:54Your greatest asset?

11:55My eyes.

11:56Your biggest insecurity?

12:00My belly.

12:01You're good at this.

12:03In your Narayan age,

12:04who's the most handsome?

12:06Oh wow, it's hard.

12:07I'm good at hair.

12:09Who's the quietest?

12:10The quietest?

12:11I would say my youngest brother, AJ.

12:14Who's the most talkative?

12:16Oh wow, it's different.

12:18Me.

12:19Who's the best at acting?

12:22Oh, it's Ryan.

12:24Who's the hot-headed?

12:25Me.

12:26Who's the richest?

12:28The richest?

12:29I think it's the same.

12:31Who's daddy's favorite?

12:32Me.

12:33Because I'm the one he took care of growing up.

12:35Who's the Arabian?

12:37Oh wow,

12:39he's very naughty.

12:40Who's the one you admire the most?

12:42My eyes.

12:43Who's the one you admire the most?

12:45Oh wow,

12:47my love for sports.

12:49Who's the one you love the most?

12:50Oh wow, everything.

12:52Guilty or not guilty?

12:53Falling in love with a co-star?

12:54That was a long time ago.

12:56Guilty.

12:57Guilty or not guilty?

12:58Cheating on your girlfriend?

12:59Guilty.

13:00Guilty or not guilty?

13:01Punching an artist?

13:03Oh wow, not guilty.

13:05Guilty or not guilty?

13:06A jealous artist?

13:07Not guilty.

13:08Guilty or not guilty?

13:09Having a hard time moving on

13:10with Carla Abellana?

13:14Fast talk, huh?

13:15Gotta be fast.

13:19It was okay, I would say.

13:20I think I gave myself the right amount of time.

13:23Okay.

13:24Hashtag of your life now?

13:26Happy dad.

13:27Lights on or lights off?

13:29Lights off.

13:30Happiness or chocolates?

13:32Happiness.

13:33Best time for happiness?

13:35Every day.

13:36Complete this sentence.

13:37I'm Jeff Eigenman and I am...

13:40I'm still around.

13:41I'm still here.

13:42I'm not going anywhere.

13:45For example,

13:47if you were given a chance

13:49to have a reunion project

13:51with Carla Abellana,

13:53would you do it?

13:55And are you guys friends?

13:57The answer is

13:58I'll be back.

13:59Fast talk.

14:00Good boy.

14:06We're back on the show.

14:08All access.

14:09I'd like to say

14:10maraming salamat for the flowers.

14:13Bago natin pag-usapan

14:14yung reunion movie na hypothetical.

14:17No, I've always wanted...

14:18I'm sorry,

14:19but I've always wanted to ask you this, Jeff.

14:21Naging kayo ba ni Hype Evangelista?

14:23Oh, wow.

14:24Oh, wow.

14:26Everybody thought that we were together.

14:28But honestly,

14:29I'm going to be honest,

14:30no, we were not together.

14:31But we were just really,

14:32really good friends.

14:33For me kasi it was

14:34the start of my career

14:36when we were paired together

14:37and I was really focused on that.

14:40Maybe focused too much on it

14:42that I was kind of

14:44not considering it at that time

14:46kasi gusto ko trabaho.

14:48Isa ako dun sa nag-akala

14:50kasi nakikita ako kayo dun eh.

14:52Okay, let's go to

14:53the Carla Abellana thing.

14:55Halimbawa lamang hypothetical,

14:57you were given a chance

14:58to do a reunion movie.

14:59I'm not saying it's going to happen.

15:00I'm not saying it's going to happen.

15:02Halimbawa lamang,

15:03would you be open

15:04to working with Carla again?

15:06Yes, I would.

15:08I think now in our lives,

15:10a lot has happened

15:11to each of us separately already.

15:14That's where maturity and growth comes in.

15:19It's all in the past.

15:20We're professionals.

15:22We did this together

15:23for a long time before.

15:25Why can't we do it now?

15:26Magkaibigan kayo.

15:28We actually haven't seen each other

15:30since we broke up.

15:31We saw each other once

15:33and that was it.

15:34We were, ano naman,

15:36nagpansinan kami.

15:38How long ago was this?

15:40Oh wow.

15:41Maybe seven, six years ago.

15:44Pansinan lang in hello, hi.

15:46Yes, hi, hello.

15:47Greeted each other.

15:48May konversasyon ba? Wala?

15:49Short conversation.

15:51Let's go.

15:52The date just continued on.

15:54As a general rule,

15:56missus,

15:57do you talk to each other

15:59about excess?

16:01Oh, with my wife, yes.

16:03And can laugh about it?

16:04Yes, yes, especially now.

16:06Kasi that's how you get closer

16:08also together, diba?

16:09Yung nasishare mo yung mga pinagdaanan mo

16:12with your special someone

16:13and she understands.

16:15So yeah, she knows everything.

16:18Kung meron kang isang leksyon

16:20sa pag-ibig

16:21that you would share

16:22with your children?

16:25What would that be?

16:27Oh wow.

16:29I'd say maybe

16:30don't fall in love too early.

16:32Lalo na ata yung age.

16:33But can you actually do it?

16:34Can you actually tell yung puso mo

16:36na huwag ka munang umibig?

16:38Well, kung bata pala,

16:39kasi usually it's puppy love, diba?

16:41Okay.

16:42But honestly,

16:44you really won't know

16:46until it blossoms into something.

16:49Kasi sa umpisa,

16:50it's hard to judge.

16:51Yung pala,

16:52it could be the one na pala,

16:53but sa umpisa palang tinanggihan na.

16:56So it didn't have a chance

16:58to blossom into something, diba?

17:00But always give someone

17:03or anyone a chance.

17:06Always give love a chance.

17:08If it goes your way,

17:09then happy for you.

17:10If it doesn't,

17:11lesson learned.

17:12I understand that.

17:13Pero let's talk again

17:15many years from now

17:16when Arabella is adalaga na.

17:20Oh no.

17:22It will happen though.

17:23What is your biggest fear,

17:24last question,

17:25as a father?

17:27Oh wow.

17:31That something happens

17:33with my kids.

17:34No.

17:37Ayaw akong may mangyayari

17:38sa mga anak ko

17:39na nandyan pa ako.

17:40If ever na anything bad

17:42to happen to my kids

17:43that I'm there.

17:44I don't know

17:45if I'll be able to handle it.

17:47It's about talaga kids.

17:48Yeah, it's really about that.

17:49Jeff, maraming salamat.

17:50Flowers for you.

17:51Thank you so much.

17:52Thank you so much.

17:53Appreciate it.
