00:00You start somewhere, and this is a wonderful, a big start.
00:09Yes.
00:10Right?
00:11It's beautiful.
00:12That's why I'm happy.
00:13Congratulations, really.
00:14I've watched it twice, the right time.
00:17At the right time, it really happened.
00:20All your stories, all that happened, it really happened.
00:23Is it a big help that you're the one writing your material?
00:28Yes, because it's based on my experience and observations.
00:32When you're the one writing, you know the metro.
00:35When you're the one writing, you adjust to how you deliver it.
00:42When you're the one writing, it's straight to how you deliver it.
00:44How do you test?
00:46I know you go to, you have lounges, etc.
00:48But how do you test a joke, for example?
00:50From the start of my career, for one year, of course, I was really testing the crowd.
00:56But when you're driving, sometimes I'm on the spot.
01:03I'm ad-libbing, for example.
01:05And when it hits, it becomes permanent.
01:07That's what's happening now.
01:08My writing is fast.
01:10Alex, is talent in comedy inborn, or is it something that can be learned?
01:17Inborn, really.
01:20You have it.
01:21Either you have it or you don't.
01:22I'm sorry.
01:23It's better to have a foundation.
01:25It's like singing.
01:26If you have a beautiful voice, just a little tweak and you're good.
01:30But when you're studying, sometimes what happens is it's not always effective.
01:36Contrived.
01:37Yes.
01:38You're being pushed.
01:39You're being pushed, and your tendency is to really follow the lyrics.
01:43It's not like when you're normal.
01:44No matter how much you laugh, people will laugh.
01:46Okay.
01:47Bitoy, Michael V, I had once an interview with him.
01:50And I think he did say this also in a lot of his interviews.
01:53He said that a lot of the characters in his shows,
01:56when he was living in the tenement, he had a story.
01:59You have a story for a movie.
02:01My God, Alex.
02:03I did some interviews with you, and I used to do research.
02:06You moved houses.
02:08Where did you go?
02:10How important is that to your comedy now?
02:12The stories of your life.
02:16What happens is a bad experience.
02:19It's hard.
02:21You move houses.
02:22But I didn't know that that was my bank.
02:24So you're taking advantage of that.
02:26I'm taking advantage of that.
02:27But my delivery is because I gave birth to someone.
02:31I really have a knack for storytelling.
02:34But it combined with my experience in life.
02:38I'm taking advantage of a lot of things.
02:40Then I combine it with comedy.
02:41It's stronger.
02:42It's stronger.
02:43I don't think that even though I was born rich,
02:45I didn't develop this.
02:48You went through a lot of hardships.
02:50You lived in a lot of houses.
02:51You met a lot of people.
02:53I combined it with...
02:55I met someone.
02:57There are people who are good at delivering.
03:00Maybe I got his delivery.
03:03Because he's good at storytelling.
03:04But he didn't pursue comedy.
03:06Maybe he was jailed.
03:07Maybe he died.
03:08Maybe he was addicted.
03:09I learned it because my friends are older.
03:12I listen to music.
03:14So it's hopeful.
03:15How big is the truth?
03:17How big is the exaggeration?
03:20There are, right?
03:22There are.
03:23Because you opened with chismes.
03:25You tackled politically correct jokes.
03:28Men and women.
03:29You talk about your wife.
03:31You talk about even your mom.
03:33Dad.
03:34How big is the truth?
03:36How big is the exaggeration?
03:3980% true.
03:4120% exaggeration.
03:43Some are real life.
03:44Some are just...
03:45I just thought of this.
03:47But it's still based on me.
03:49For example, my mom is a gambler.
03:51My dad is a womanizer.
03:53My mom learned to gamble because of my dad.
03:56That's true.
03:57That's true.
03:58That's true.
03:59Then my mom really stole my dad's money.
04:02That's my ending.
04:03I like your story.
04:05Don't lie.
04:07That's true.
04:08That happened in 1992.
04:09FBR was running.
04:11He became president.
04:13My mom didn't want to deposit because she didn't trust the election.
04:16She was afraid it would cause trouble.
04:18But that's not the reason.
04:20She really gambled.
04:22My dad believed.
04:24He only had 100 pesos.
04:25He didn't have 1000 pesos yet.
04:26So it was bundled underneath.
04:27In fact, I don't know what was said there.
04:29My mom even pinched the jar.
04:31But it's really the first scammer.
04:34Yes.
04:35He's a scammer.
04:36In 1992, he did those things.
04:38Then my dad said,
04:40He pinched it.
04:41He said,
04:42Just lie down so you know where the money is.
04:44So my dad,
04:45He was holding the cushion.
04:46He was doing that.
04:47He didn't know that the jar was stolen.
04:48Okay.
04:49So I followed my mom to the casino.
04:51I also followed her.
04:538 AM.
04:54Then 300.
04:55I was getting closer.
04:56She was still mad at me.
04:57300 pesos from 170,000 pesos.
04:59We did an MRT.
05:00That was part of the right time.
05:02It was the right time.
05:03But when I was on my way home,
05:05I thought,
05:06My mom lost.
05:07My dad was the victim, right?
05:09I thought,
05:10My dad is dead.
05:11He lost the money.
05:12But when I got home,
05:13My mom came right in.
05:14The real life,
05:15When you enter the door,
05:16You're looking for the money.
05:17You're the one I'm going to put up with
05:18to make you a woman.
05:19When I take care of your kids,
05:20You're not there.
05:21Again,
05:22It's like my dad is an abonado.
05:26The truth is,
05:27When my dad got a pension,
05:29He gave 40,000 to my mom.
05:31He said,
05:32I'm sorry for my lack.
05:34That's where I learned from my mom.
05:39I'm sorry.
05:40I'm sorry.
