00:00You were 5 years old when you came here to GMA7 to audition for Darna.
00:12How was that? I mean, what can you remember?
00:14What I remember is that I really wanted to audition for Darna.
00:18There!
00:19That's so cute!
00:21I really wanted to audition for Darna.
00:23And then my grandmother made a costume.
00:26She made the headband.
00:28We auditioned. I remember there were a lot of kids back then.
00:32But in the semifinals, I gave up.
00:37Why?
00:38Because in our household, no one shouts.
00:41No one gets involved.
00:43So, I'm used to when someone gets angry, I just look at them.
00:47Just the eyes.
00:48You calmed down?
00:49I calmed down. I understood.
00:51But in the set, there were people who shouted.
00:55The director during that time, the staff, not the kids.
00:59So, I just gave up.
01:02I know that environment.
01:03It's fast.
01:05So, you didn't like that.
01:07That was in Sis Pooh.
01:08Right.
01:09Which was hosted by Jelly and Miss Carmina.
01:13Carmina and Janice, right?
01:14Yes.
01:15Okay.
01:16I just want to go to the name.
01:18Where did heaven come from?
01:21Before, my name was supposed to be Micaela.
01:25It stands for Michael, my dad, and Luan.
01:28But during the time that I was going out with my father-in-law,
01:34I lost my heartbeat.
01:37So, they said that the umbilical cord was twisted around my neck.
01:42Okay.
01:43So, every time he tried to go out, I lost my heartbeat.
01:47So, my grandmother said,
01:48Luan, change your name to heaven.
01:50I mean, change your name to Micaela.
01:51Micaela.
01:52That's too bad.
01:53So, she said,
01:55I'll go with heaven so that if ever I don't survive at that time,
01:59I'll go to heaven.
02:01That's the story.
02:02Yes.
02:03Let's go to your family name, Peralejo.
02:05A lot of people are still wondering,
02:07Is it heaven?
02:09Is this your cousin?
02:11Is this your cousin?
02:12Is this your nephew?
02:14Of course, they're talking about Rica,
02:15and they're talking about Paula.
02:17Let's be clear.
02:18How are you related to the Peralejos?
02:21Oh, it's been a long time.
02:23You know, every time we meet with Tita Rica,
02:26they say,
02:27My God, I'm so tired.
02:29They're already doing TikTok.
02:32They're already posting.
02:33So, basically, they're cousins.
02:35Mom, Tita Rica's father and Tita Paula are siblings.
02:40Yes, that's right.
02:42Tita Rica's father and my mom are siblings.
02:46So, they're siblings.
02:48And then, they're cousins.
02:50So, I'm the mother.
02:52Okay, you're the daughter.
02:53I'm the daughter of my mom.
02:54Right.
02:55So, I'm their daughter.
02:56So, you're their nephew?
02:57I'm their nephew.
02:58A whole nephew.
03:00Yes.
03:01Yes, of Rica and Paula.
03:03And that's it.
03:04Until now, they're still asking.
03:05Is that a pressure?
03:06That you're coming into the industry,
03:08or you were coming into the industry,
03:11following in their footsteps.
03:14You would always be asked,
03:15What's your relationship with Rica?
03:16What's your relationship with Paula?
03:17Was it an advantage or a disadvantage?
03:21How was that?
03:22It was very neutral.
03:24It was very neutral.
03:25Because, how do I say this?
03:27There's nothing.
03:28Because when we have reunions,
03:30when we're together,
03:31we don't talk about the show business.
03:34And then…
03:35Did they welcome you to the show business
03:36because you're far away?
03:38Some people are just happy
03:40that their aunt is working.
03:43So, it's a good conversation starter.
03:46Right.
03:47But why do you look at it as a pressure?
03:49Why can't you…
03:50You're making something of your own.
03:52Right.
03:53And then if you were to look at it as a shadow,
03:55that's a good shadow.
03:56Yeah.
03:57I mean, Rica especially.
03:58Paula, I don't know as much as I know Rica.
04:03But a fantastic woman.
04:04A fantastic girl.
04:05Rica is Rica in the show business.
04:08Very good actress.
04:09Very talented.
04:10Now, I know she has a master's degree in psychology.
04:13If I'm not mistaken.
04:37Yeah.
05:08Yeah.
05:12Yeah.
05:16Yeah.
05:38Yeah.
05:40Yeah.
05:42Yeah.
05:44Yeah.
05:46Yeah.
05:48Yeah.
05:50Yeah.
