00:00Iza, you have offers from your family and friends, according to your manager.
00:05Oh no! I thought you're from Manila!
00:09And then, in the last Metro Manila Film Fest, Best Picture...
00:13You're making me feel embarrassed.
00:16Best Picture, Second Best Picture...
00:18You're imitating Noel!
00:20You're with him, that's why you're more...
00:23You're making the movie more entertaining.
00:26This is the press that was pressed in Metro Manila Film Fest.
00:30Best Picture, Second Best Picture...
00:32You're there.
00:34And now, February, you have a new movie.
00:38Dimples.
00:39I'll let you know, Jerry.
00:41My decision to make a movie and a play,
00:45is really rooted on TV at this point.
00:48I really rooted on...
00:50Because TV is a long-term commitment.
00:55And sometimes, you don't know how long the long-term is.
00:59So, at this point, because of Dea,
01:03who just turned 2 years old,
01:07unless you give me a very compelling project,
01:14I won't be able to go back to TV.
01:20Just at this point.
01:21Because I really would like to give most of my time to Dea.
01:28Now, why TV?
01:30Why films and...
01:32Theater.
01:33Theater.
01:34Theater, because...
01:35I mean, except for Tech Week,
01:38and the shows themselves,
01:40most of it, I can go home during...
01:45dinner time, bedtime.
01:48I may even get to do other things,
01:51but not really,
01:52because I live far away.
01:55Films, because I know when it will end.
01:59Like, I knew this was gonna be 8 days.
02:01For the cameos,
02:04I knew it was also all I could take on while doing a play.
02:09So, I managed my time.
02:11So, maybe, in as much as I do miss...
02:16Teleserye,
02:17and the most...
02:19You'll meet people,
02:22and they'll ask,
02:23how long will you be back?
02:25We have a sense of...
02:27I've never felt that,
02:29a sense of...
02:31almost like a sense of responsibility to...
02:35to entertain.
02:36Because we're getting closer to Teleserye.
02:40Oh, thank you.
02:41I didn't know that.
02:45Or is it because...
02:46Also, I've been doing it for a long time,
02:48so they're used to seeing me always on TV.
02:51I mean, I've been...
02:53My first lead was in 2004,
02:56in Te Amo.
02:59So, parang...
03:00But then, when I think about it,
03:02parang I've also given a lot, naman.
03:05Sa totoo po, my bank account wants me to...
03:08I won't say that, diba?
03:10Diba?
03:12Because, again, mahaba.
03:14Three times a week, at least.
03:16But...
03:19May panahon po para sa lahat.
03:21Iisa lang po ako.
03:23Hindi ko na po pwedeng hati-hatiin pa yung katawan ko,
03:26the way I used to.
03:28And...
03:29So, I'm very grateful for projects.
03:33And siguro, if I do a cameo in Teleserye,
03:36that's fine.
03:37But I haven't done...
03:39There hasn't been an offer that was short enough.
03:42So, parang...
03:44At this point,
03:47ito muna, and I'm very grateful na.
03:51Talaga naman, ask and you shall receive.
03:54Yun pala talaga yun.
03:55So, thank you, Lord, for providing.
03:58Parang nakakapagtrabaho pa rin ako.
04:00Nagagawa ko ang mga bagay na mahal ko,
04:03passionate about.
04:05And still be...
04:07To fulfill my first job,
04:09which is to be a mother.
