00:45Let's see.
00:46Are we there yet? Let's take a look.
00:48Let's take a look.
00:49There she is!
00:51Let's welcome on the first row, Bianca Umali!
00:55Yay!
00:57Hi Bian!
00:58We're here with you!
01:00Good morning!
01:01You look like a beauty queen!
01:03That's a beauty queen walk!
01:05Perfect!
01:06Good morning!
01:07Yes, good morning to you!
01:09Good morning, Bianca!
01:10And welcome to the first row!
01:11Say hi to your fans!
01:12Thank you!
01:13To all the fans who are watching this morning, hello to all of you!
01:17Good morning!
01:18Hello, first row!
01:19Yes!
01:20How are you, Bianca?
01:21How does it feel to finally watch your award-winning film, Mananambal, in cinemas?
01:27To be honest, I am very thankful and grateful that our film will finally be released.
01:34We have waited for so long.
01:37And after experiencing what we went through in Japan,
01:42finally, we will be able to show it here in the Philippines.
01:46And we are excited because it is a masterpiece for all of us.
01:51We worked hard for this and we cannot wait to watch it.
01:56Tell us, Bianca, what is Mananambal about?
01:58What is your role here?
02:00Mananambal, the word itself, in English, means faith healer.
02:06It is a mystery here in our country.
02:10That is why it is discussed in the film.
02:13And my role here, I am Alma, the daughter of our one and only superstar,
02:19our national artist, Ms. Nora Honor.
02:22And that's it.
02:24That's all I can say.
02:26It's almost time for the film to be released.
02:29I can't believe it.
02:30Yesterday, E.A. couldn't watch it.
02:32You guys!
02:34That's why we should watch it.
02:36We should all watch it.
02:38But you mentioned before that it is a masterclass in acting.
02:42You became a superstar, Nora Honor.
02:44Of course!
02:45Why did you say that?
02:46And how was the experience working with her?
02:48Because, of course, she's already Ms. Nora Honor.
02:52And you know, to be working with her is already an opportunity that I know I won't miss.
02:58That's why while we were on set,
03:00while she was in my scene, I had nothing else to do but watch.
03:04Because, of course, she will not be there up until today if she is not good.
03:09Did you ask her for advice?
03:11How to tackle a scene like this?
03:13What I asked her was,
03:15Ms. Nora, how did you prolong your love for acting?
03:21And what she told me was,
03:25because she loves it.
03:27It's really love for your craft.
03:29And what shows is that your passion for what she does.
03:34It's really her drive and her fuel to continue doing what she does.
03:38Yes, because it's been a long time.
03:39And for the people who support her,
03:42her fans, the Noranians,
03:44the love for her is really great.
03:46And to think she started out as a singer.
03:48She won a contest.
03:50That's how she became an artiste.
03:52That's why, honestly, you can see that people's love for you
03:56is also a secret that will last long.
03:58Because when people love you,
04:00they will also rise up.
04:01That's why you should love them.
04:03You should take care of your fans.
04:05But congrats, Bianca, you won the Best Dramatic Actress Award
04:09Thank you, Jin.
04:10This is an international film festival.
04:12So, what's on your mind the moment you won?
04:16Bianca or Molly?
04:17That's really unexpected.
04:19Because, to be honest, I went to Japan to this film festival
04:23to represent the film.
04:25But I did not have any expectations
04:28that I was a nominee or that I would win any.
04:32But, and I wasn't even allowed to appear here.
04:36So, I did not really expect anything.
04:38But when they called my name,
04:41I did not know how I would feel.
04:44Did you have a moment?
04:46Did you really call me?
04:48Did you really call me?
04:50Yes, that's right.
04:51Then, the first thing that came to my mind
04:55was that this was for my grandmother.
04:57That was the first thing that came to my mind.
05:00I prayed that it would be quick
05:01while I was walking to the stage.
05:03Then, I was able to speak.
05:05I received the award.
05:08And that was the story.
05:11Congratulations.
05:12And because of that, we will not let it pass
05:14that Bianca tried to be a good actress
05:17in UH Emote Control.
05:20Here it is.
05:21Emote Control.
05:22Emote Control.
05:23So, your line is,
05:24I am a man of ball.
05:26You will say that in different emotions.
05:28So, are you ready?
05:29Okay, game.
05:30This is our first emotion.
05:32You cried.
05:34I cried?
05:35Yes.
05:36Okay, where are we?
05:37Camera, not me.
05:42I am a man of ball.
05:48Cut!
05:49Oh, my God!
05:50You really need to say it.
05:51Wow!
05:52You really need to say it.
05:53Wow!
05:54It's a moment.
05:55Wow!
05:56Our next emotion is anger.
05:57Anger?
05:58Yes.
05:59Bianca just closed her eyes and breathed.
06:00What if Ruru and I fight?
06:01There, there.
06:02We need to breathe for a while.
06:04Okay.
06:05Five, four, three, and action.
06:09I am a man of ball.
06:14I am still hearing that.
06:17Oh, my gosh!
06:18Bianca is hiding behind the screen.
06:19Yes, she's hiding.
06:20Cut!
06:21Ruru, what did you do?
06:23You did this.
06:24A lot!
06:25A lot!
06:26We're not cleaning up.
06:28This is our last emotion,
06:30the flickering.
06:32There.
06:33This is flickering, right?
06:34Okay, ready. Set yourself. One.
06:37Okay, ready? Action!
