00:00Did you start when you entered GMA? You said you came from the Noontime Show.
00:05After that, you were given a contract by the management of GMA.
00:09The first thing I did in GMA was with Aljor.
00:13The Once Again. Aljor and Janine.
00:15Oh, that show. Okay.
00:17So, I became Aljor's best friend there.
00:20Okay.
00:21Then, it took a while. After that, I joined a boy band.
00:25The One Up.
00:26Oh, I remember that.
00:27The Stars Trap.
00:29I joined them. There were 10 of us.
00:31Did you enjoy it?
00:32We followed each other.
00:33If I'm not gay, I'm a leading man.
00:37Contra Vida.
00:38Oh, I see.
00:40So, you played with your range in acting.
00:43Yes, yes.
00:44Your dad was not in the picture for a long time.
00:47Yes, for a long time.
00:49But, they are your parents. They didn't separate.
00:51Ah, according to the law.
00:55He became informal.
00:56He became a lawyer.
00:58Well, they got married. But, they didn't get together for a long time.
01:03They just separated.
01:04Not legally separated.
01:06It's like companionship now.
01:08Oh, okay.
01:09It's like that.
01:10Because, he went home.
01:11Okay.
01:12After 13 years, he went home.
01:14From being an OFW, correct?
01:17Yes, he retired.
01:18You said Saudi.
01:19Yes.
01:20So, for 13 years, he worked in Saudi?
01:22Yes.
01:23As?
01:24As an engineer.
01:26Wow.
01:27But, what happened was, his company went bankrupt.
01:31He lost his job.
01:32He became a taxi driver.
01:33Still in Saudi?
01:34Yes.
01:35So, he lost his communication.
01:37He lost his support.
01:38Because, he had a hard life.
01:39It's like that.
01:40He helped himself.
01:42Then, one day, just last year, he suddenly reached out.
01:47He just suddenly said that he will go home.
01:50You're so generous to your dad.
01:52To be honest, I don't feel anything.
01:54Oh, you don't want to feel anything.
01:56I don't feel anything.
01:57It's like that.
01:59That's okay.
02:00Maybe, I was used to it when I was young.
02:02You don't want to face your emotions.
02:03Why?
02:04Because, you're strong.
02:05Right?
02:06Because, you don't want to acknowledge it.
02:07Because, you might be scared.
02:09And, it's like, my mom and I are okay.
02:12We're happy.
02:13You're used to life.
02:14It's like, the 10 years that I was forced.
02:17It's okay, right?
02:18I don't want to live anymore.
02:19How old were you when he left?
02:21Fifteen.
02:22Fifteen.
02:23When I arrived here in the Philippines.
02:24You have a brain.
02:25I really have a brain.
02:26Oh.
02:27How brave.
02:29Now?
02:30Do you remember?
02:32Yes.
02:33I mean, from birth to 15 years old.
02:35You have good memories with your dad.
02:37Maybe, those days when I was immature.
02:40It's like, it's okay.
02:41Even though, my dad wasn't there.
02:43You're still young.
02:44That's why, he went home.
02:45I just accepted him wholeheartedly.
02:48But, of course, it's like,
02:49there's also pain.
02:50It's like, what is this?
02:51You go home.
02:52You want to take over everything in life.
02:55But, we already talked about it.
02:57Let's release it.
02:58Thank you for the story.
