00:00Sparkle star Bianca Umali shared her reaction to the issue that was brought to her by Mananambal,
00:11where she was with the superstar Nora Onor.
00:14Bianca also brought back emotional memories from her childhood.
00:19Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
00:25I always say that I love you.
00:29I do everything for you because I want you to see it.
00:33Bianca Umali became emotional during her last appearance on GMA Integrated News Interviews
00:40when she shared the struggles that she went through when she was young,
00:45again at the age of 10,
00:47and her grandmother, Victorina, was the one who raised her.
00:51She hugged me without any question.
00:55I remember telling her that there were 11 of us in her house,
01:00and she always sent us to school.
01:03And given all of that, my grandmother wasn't the richest.
01:06My grandmother was past 60.
01:09She was retired.
01:10How was she able to do that?
01:12Exactly, that's the miracle.
01:13Even when we backtracked, even when you asked her,
01:17she would say, I don't know.
01:19She's such a selfless woman.
01:21She's really my wonder woman.
01:23I call her my superhero because she fought for me.
01:27She says that everything she does now,
01:29from her personal achievements,
01:31to the milestones of her career as an artist.
01:36It's for her because this is how I show her that this is how she raised me.
01:42I'm proud because I didn't waste what she taught me.
01:46As a milestone that gave her grandmother a lot of happiness,
01:51she won the Jinseyo Arigato International Film Festival Best Actress Award last year,
01:58where she worked as a National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Nora Unol
02:04in the movie, Mananambal.
02:06It was a surreal experience
02:08to work with the one and only superstar of the Philippine showbiz.
02:13But even so, it was full of intrigue.
02:16Recently, a part of Mananambal the Healer's press conference went viral.
02:23And you answered the billing issue that was posed to you.
02:29Tell me, what happened?
02:31I was shocked.
02:34It became an emotional moment for me at some point.
02:38But then, in my heart and in my mind,
02:41I knew that the best way to handle it was
02:44to be the most professional person in the room.
02:47To be working with our superstar and with our national artist is already an honor.
02:55And that is everything I need.
02:58Everything else that comes from it,
03:00the billing, even the award that I won,
03:05is already a bonus.
03:07And because Valentine's Day is tomorrow,
03:09we also asked if Bianca and her boyfriend, Ruru Madrid, have plans.
03:15Ruru and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day.
03:22But for us, we don't need a particular day
03:29to express and prove to each other that I love you so much.
03:34In the part 2 of my interview with Bianca,
03:37the conversation will go deeper.
03:39She will tell many things that made Ruru and Bianca's relationship stronger.
03:44And one of her experiences last year
03:47that had a huge impact on her life.
03:50Nobody knew, but Ruru.
03:53It wasn't easy.
03:54I always thought,
03:56I don't want this anymore.
03:58I don't want this anymore.
