00:00Welcome back, Kapitbahay!
00:02Here it is, we're going to taste the dish of Ms. Rubi Rubi.
00:06But, are you noticing something different about us today?
00:09What is it?
00:10This.
00:11So what's on our heads right now,
00:13these are action words.
00:15What's on our heads,
00:18we're not allowed to do.
00:20It's like a forbidden action.
00:23When we do what's on our heads,
00:25Kroy, take it out.
00:27The winner is...
00:30What's that? I still have a lot of forbidden actions.
00:33Okay, let's eat!
00:34Let's go cook!
00:39Let's taste it.
00:41Cheers!
00:42I'm going to taste the Lantana without rice first.
00:49Guys, did you see that?
00:50The consistency of the coconut milk,
00:52the coconut milk didn't fall, it's stuck.
00:55That's our goal, achieved!
01:00It's delicious!
01:01It's soft!
01:02I'm drooling because it's so spicy,
01:03but it's delicious because I like spicy food.
01:06Our house is delicious, try this.
01:08This one has added crunch.
01:11This is just for now.
01:13Oh, it's a specially cooked house.
01:16Yes!
01:17Because I said,
01:18what will make it different from the ones I cooked before.
01:23We're going to talk now,
01:25so let's start our challenge!
01:29Kroy, you're out.
01:30You'll be the one to watch.
01:32I'm excited to go.
01:33There's no teacher here.
01:37Ms. Ruby, tell us,
01:39before you entered the TV,
01:41and you appeared on TV,
01:43you started as a stand-up comedian.
01:46Is that true?
01:47In your stand-up comedy,
01:50did you have a full screen name, Ruby Ruby?
01:52Yes.
01:53Who made that name?
01:54Here it is.
01:55Hey, why?
01:58You made that name for free action.
02:04Prior to...
02:06Fawk, right?
02:15Prior to becoming a stand-up comedian,
02:18I worked for an ad agency.
02:19Now,
02:20our creative director,
02:21the owner of the ad agency,
02:23said,
02:24Ruby,
02:25when you become an actress,
02:26because she knows I'm an actress,
02:29when you become an actress,
02:30your name is beautiful,
02:32Ruby Ruby.
02:33Then I said,
02:34why Ruby Ruby?
02:35Because,
02:36February, February, March.
02:39Is that where it came from?
02:40Yes, from your folk song,
02:42Lubi Lubi.
02:43Is that where it came from?
02:44Yes, because Ruby is my real name.
02:46Okay.
02:47Are you B-Y?
02:49Are you B-Y?
02:50Okay, okay.
02:51Are you B-I-R?
02:52Or,
02:53Halaw sa Ruby?
02:55Okay.
02:56I'm curious.
02:57Okay, okay.
02:59How did you adjust?
03:01How did you start?
03:03How did you adjust?
03:05You started in theater,
03:07or stand-up comedian,
03:08and then you chose...
03:09I got that theater experience
03:12when I was studying at Far Eastern University
03:15as a student.
03:16So, we were doing stage plays.
03:17I didn't know that.
03:18Yes,
03:19and when we were in church,
03:21we were doing street plays.
03:23We were doing that.
03:24So, that's why I have experience.
03:26Of course,
03:27stand-up comedy is stage.
03:28Okay.
03:29But,
03:30you should have
03:31what they call,
03:32gift of gab,
03:33or humor.
03:34Like,
03:35there's spontaneity.
03:36The way you do it.
03:37Because,
03:38at that time,
03:39the joke was yours.
03:41You don't have to memorize it,
03:42it's yours.
03:43How did you get that?
03:45You had it naturally?
03:46I don't know.
03:47Because, you know,
03:48I'm shy.
03:49Huh?
03:50Oh, no.
03:51I'm anti-social.
03:53I'm not that...
03:54Right?
03:55I don't get nervous.
03:56Are you an introvert?
03:57I don't...
03:58I get confused
03:59when I'm with a lot of people.
04:01When I was in high school,
04:02I have a gift in writing.
04:04So, I joined contests.
04:06But, I won essay writing,
04:08slogan writing contest.
04:09I won.
04:10That's great.
04:11Did you write your script?
04:14Did you write your own script?
04:16Yes.
04:17When I was in bars,
04:19when there's a special...
04:22When I was working
04:23as a comedian,
04:27I was like that.
04:29I was like that.
04:30I know how to change my voice.
04:32Huh?
04:33Sample!
04:35What happened?
04:36Batang Babae.
04:37Okay.
04:38Can I eat the fat of a pig?
04:42This is my favorite.
04:44Now, you're a young man.
04:45Yes, how?
04:46I don't want to.
04:47Yes.
04:48Remember,
04:49stop eating fat.
04:53Choose!
04:54Of all the characters you chose,
04:56especially when you started,
04:58which one did you enjoy doing the most?
05:00When I do dramatic roles.
05:03Because I'm always into comedy.
05:08They said,
05:09comedians cry a lot.
05:13That's why they're good at making people laugh.
05:16Because they're good at hiding their pain.
05:20Sometimes,
05:21I feel like I'm retiring.
05:23Is there a reason?
05:25Sometimes,
05:26I can't see myself.
05:28I'm not free.
05:30You should be happy.
05:33You can't shortchange what people say.
05:37I'm sorry,
05:38but I can't laugh now.
05:39I have a problem.
05:40Even when my father died,
05:42I had to do a show.
05:44What did you do when your father passed away?
05:47Stand-up comedy?
05:48Yes.
05:49I went to his big night.
05:54But I can't attend.
05:56Do you have a job?
05:57Yes, I have a job.
05:58After my set,
06:00I go to Loyola.
06:03Do you laugh?
06:04I was absent last night.
06:07This is what I want to ask you, Ms. Ruby.
06:0927 years in the industry.
06:12What's the secret to stay?
06:16What's the secret to keep working?
06:19You're making me cry again.
06:21I'm asking you a different question.
06:23Don't listen to her.
06:26I feel like this is what I want to know from you.
06:29Ups and downs.
06:31Do you still want to be an actress?
06:36Or do you have other plans?
06:38You're diverting to other plans, right?
06:41Yes.
06:42But there will be signs.
06:47It's okay.
06:48I want to know this.
06:49I'm sure I'll go through this.
06:54There are signs
06:56that God will give you.
06:58He'll say,
06:59You're just there.
07:00I'm giving this to you because you have a purpose.
07:03Why are you there?
07:04There are times when I don't want to do it anymore.
07:06I'll call you.
07:07I'll just go back to the corporate.
07:09Suddenly, someone will come in.
07:10Ms. Ruby, can you do the taping tomorrow?
07:13I'll say, I don't want to do it anymore.
07:16Something like that.
07:17Because my grandfather inquired about me last year.
07:20And last year,
07:22I told him,
07:24Ms. Ruby, you're the one.
07:26And it's still going on now.
07:28After this,
07:29I said,
07:30Okay.
07:31God is giving me a sign that,
07:33Ms. Ruby, you have to do a workshop again.
07:35This January.
07:36My plan is,
07:37Ready, Act, Go!
07:38By Coach Ruby.
07:40That's my mission.
07:42I want to teach them.
07:43Why do you want to share knowledge?
07:46To grow your talent.
07:48Why do you want to share?
07:49Life is unfair.
07:51It's true.
07:52It's true.
07:53In our industry,
07:54there's luck.
07:56But there are people who are more talented,
07:59who don't have luck.
08:00That's right.
08:01I accept that.
08:02Like Troy.
08:03Troy is a good actor.
08:05But he's not like the others,
08:09who are given a chance to act.
08:12To have their own show.
08:13To be part of a series or a show.
08:16But I told them,
08:18just continue to work hard.
08:20In our whole story this afternoon,
08:23Kapitbahay,
08:24One adjective that I can say to Ms. Ruby Ruby,
08:28Do you agree?
08:29She's so generous.
08:30Yes, that's true.
08:31One of the things that's hard to give is time.
08:34But she doesn't waste time.
08:36And that's one of the traits of a good teacher.
08:40Thank you, Ms. Ruby Ruby.
