00:00Invite everyone, we are so excited about Princesa ng City Children.
00:09Me too, I'm nervous actually.
00:11Because they'll see a different type of Contrabida here.
00:15And you'll be able to watch it every 3.20 here on Afternoon Prime.
00:20And Monday to Friday.
00:22If not, you can watch it on the YouTube of GMA Network.
00:25Wow, congratulations. I'm just so happy.
00:28I'm really looking at Denise because we haven't seen each other for a long time.
00:32And I am told that while you were not very active on television,
00:37you got involved in the world of K-pop.
00:39Right? And K-drama.
00:41What's the story here?
00:42It started here in 2010.
00:45But because I'm so engrossed in my job,
00:49I'm the type of person when I do something,
00:51I will do it 100% full focus.
00:54Make it 150%.
00:56If I can do 150, I will do 150.
01:01So I couldn't really dabble in the rest of my hobbies.
01:04I used to be an MTV VJ. I love music.
01:06I used to go to K-pop events when I was very young.
01:09When they were still saying that I'm a jolog.
01:12You're already there.
01:13Yeah, but during the pandemic, I finally got time to watch TV again,
01:18to watch YouTube again, to listen to music.
01:21Because not only am I an actor, I'm also a mom.
01:24So I really dedicate my time to just making sure I'm everything all at once.
01:29But you would host fan meets?
01:32When I was younger, 2010, I was just attending.
01:35Oh, you were just attending.
01:36And then at the end of the pandemic when people were going out already,
01:39just for fun, I was like,
01:40Hey, do you guys need a host? It's a hobby.
01:42It's a hobby for me.
01:44You don't have to sweat it.
01:45Don't even pay.
01:47It's for fun.
01:48I want to do it. It's fun.
01:49I just want to have fun.
01:50I know I can do it because I used to do music concerts back in the day
01:53and Studio 23 DJs, party hosting.
01:57So yeah, I just have fun.
01:59I hang out with my fellow fangirls and we talk to each other often.
02:04So when I'm hosting, it's really like we're just all hanging out.
02:07Okay, so among all the K-pop stars you've met, who is your bias?
02:13My bias?
02:14They always ask me that, Uncle Boy.
02:17As a Denise, as a Libra, I see the best in everybody.
02:21I see everybody's like, you know, everybody has a something.
02:24That X factor, that charm.
02:26But maybe instead of bias, my biggest starstruck was Chownu.
02:32He looks unreal.
02:34He's not on the photos.
02:36We can show it later.
02:37But I hosted his fan meet and he looks unreal.
02:41There you go. Chownu right there with Sam Oh.
02:44I hosted his fan meet.
02:45I know Sam Oh. He's a friend.
02:46He's my favorite K-pop host.
02:48But he was so unreal.
02:51He looked like AI.
02:53And he was so mild-mannered, professional.
02:56He's more handsome in person than how you see him on TV.
02:59And he's very kind.
03:01Very professional.
03:03He's been through a lot but he's still powered through with his work.
03:07And he's still delivering very well.
03:09Okay, Denise, this question.
03:10In this world, fans can be rabid.
03:15For example, you spend time with a particular star.
03:19For example, I get jealous when I'm with people who are in concerts.
03:25Do you get that?
03:27Do you get criticized?
03:28Do you get bashed?
03:29I think, Tito Boy, the way I like to think of it is
03:32when I'm doing this, when I'm being a K-pop host,
03:34I'm a representative.
03:36I'm a messenger.
03:37I'm a liaison of my fellow fangirls.
03:39Also, I feel like I'm representing the Philippines
03:43because a lot of the times, they're afraid to come here, Tito Boy.
03:46Because, of course, those who appear in their movies,
03:49when the criminals run away, they run away here.
03:54So, there's a bit of a stigma.
03:56So, what I like to do is I would take care of them
04:00and give them the full respect that they deserve
04:02as if how I would like to be treated as an artist, Tito Boy.
04:05Right?
04:06So, I take care of them.
04:07I make them feel comfortable.
04:09I never touch.
04:10I always have space.
04:11I'm very respectful of personal space.
04:13And my fellow fans…
04:14They don't like being touched?
04:15I think it's in their culture that they're not very touchy.
04:18But also, I just want to give that respect.
04:22Really?
04:23So, they don't welcome fans who are tactile?
04:25No, they do.
04:26It's just that professionally, I don't want to be feeling close.
04:31You know what I mean?
04:32I want to be professional.
04:33Even if inside, they're like,
04:34Oh, my God!
04:36There's still something here.
04:38Yes.
04:39There's a boundary.
04:40And I feel I'm representing the Philippines.
04:42And I want them to know that in the Philippines,
04:44people are professional.
04:45We love what we do.
04:46It's fun to work with us.
04:47And we're sensitive.
04:48And we're sensitive.
04:49That's right.
04:50And respectful.
