00:00Finally, Kailin Alcantara, welcome to GMA Integrated News Interviews.
00:09Masasabi ko na finally na nakaupo ka na sa GMA Integrated News Interviews.
00:13I know, maraming salamat po sa pag-invita sa akin dito.
00:16It's an honor to be here. Pinapanood ko lang ito lagi.
00:19Talaga? Yes, of course.
00:22You're here, of course. We'll talk about your major project first.
00:26Ito yung Beauty Empire.
00:28Yes.
00:28Ikaw si Shari.
00:31Yes, Shari de Jesus po.
00:33Oo. Tell me something about your role here.
00:35Well, si Shari de Jesus po, isa siyang power and goal-driven woman.
00:41Gagawin niya talaga ang lahat para makamit ang kanyang pangarap or ang kanyang pangarap na posisyon.
00:47Ayun ang mapalitan si Miss Velma, si Miss Rufa sa Beauty Empire.
00:54And basta, ibang-ibang klase yung force dito ni Shari kasi her characters, ang daming layers.
01:01Ang strong.
01:02Sobrang strong po.
01:03Alam mo, sobrang strong niya na parang kontrabida levels na.
01:06But, ang maganda po dito sa Beauty Empire, walang bida, wala rin kontrabida.
01:12Of course, ang aming main star ay si Miss Barbie Forteza.
01:15Pero, ang maganda po sa script or sa pagkakagawa ng proyekto na ito, papakita talaga yung strengths and weaknesses or yung negative and positive nung bawat karakter.
01:26I was talking to Barbie about it, ano, na parang, nung, when we saw the teaser, very campy.
01:33Very.
01:34Nakakatawa.
01:34Tapos, nung lumabas na yung, ano, yung series, hindi pala, no?
01:40There are hints.
01:41Hindi siya in total nagagano'n?
01:43Yes po, yes.
01:45Napakaganda po.
01:46Sobrang, ito, isa ito sa mga proyekto ko po na ginawa na proud ako na ipakita sa ating mga kapuso.
01:53Rufa Gutierrez, how is it working with her?
01:55I like ko po sinasabi, at first, she is super intimidating.
02:00It's on another level because, of course, she's Miss Rufa and she's a tall girl and she got this aura.
02:07Pero, nakakatawa po talaga si Miss Rufa na hindi niya alam na nakakatawa siya.
02:12Tapos, parang, pag natatawa kami ni Barbie sa hanya, siya yung parang, oh, bakit? Anong ginawa ko?
02:17Miss Rufa, may nakakatawa kong ginawa.
02:20As in, parang lang po kami magkaka-age dun sa series.
02:24That's a blessing to have worked with people like that, ano?
02:28Yes.
02:28Comfortable yung set ninyo.
02:29Super.
02:29Kahit natara yan, ano?
02:31On cam.
02:32Opo.
02:32Ako po, excited ako lagi every time na pupunta sa set.
02:35Kasi yung mga katrabaho ko, hindi lang sa mga artista, pati lang sa mga crew, sa staff.
02:41Lahat talaga eh nagtutulungan at ginagawa ang aming best para maging maganda po yung proyekto na.
02:48Anong favorite bonding sesh niyo? For sure, meron kayo dyan pag sa set. Si Barbie, alam ko na yan, kape.
02:56Parang ando na nga din po ako.
02:58Pakkape ka na rin, no?
02:59Kasi po si Barbie, halimbawa, lagi po kasi siyang nauuna. Kasi nga, very professional yan si Barbie. Laging an hour before her call time.
03:10Lagi po siya nauuna at laging may kape agad ako.
03:13Oh.
03:14Kapag darating sa set, oh Mary, ayan na yung kape mo. Oh, Mary, you're so sweet. Kanyan. Pero yun po talaga, yun po yung favorite namin na bonding moment. Kape kape.
03:26At running na rin.
03:28Yeah, I saw the post.
03:29Running, kala mo talaga, magaling ako.
03:31Hindi, diba, magandang start yan.
03:33Magandang start.
03:34Pero na-enjoy mo.
03:35Of course, pero syempre po nahihiraban ako ngayon.
03:39Si Barbie din ang mentor mo sa running.
03:41Malaking parte na talaga si Barbie na buhay ko. In the space of my life, malaking pong parte niya.
03:48How's it working with Barbie?
03:49Oh, napakahira.
03:52Napakadali po. Napakadaling katrabaho si Barbie. Kasi acting-wise, she's very generous. Nagbibigay naman po lagi si Barbie. At lagi ko nga po sinasabi na.
04:02Ganyan yung sinabi niya tungkol sa'yo.
04:05500 ko.
04:06Well, ganun po kasi si Barbie.
04:10Like, ever since po na nag-start ako sa GMA, I really want to work with her.
04:15And right now, I have the privilege of working with her.
04:20So, ang sarap po sa pakiramdam.
04:22Masin idol ko po. At lagi ko naman sinasabihan kay Barbie kapag nagkaka-exena pa rin kami.
04:27Hanggang ngayon, may onting kaba pa rin at may nginig pa rin sa baba kapag ka-exena ko si Barbie.
04:33Kasi napakagaling po ni Barbie. Pagtitignan ka pa lang niya, iba na.
04:38So, and off cam, napaka.
04:42Mare talaga.
04:42Mare talaga.
04:44As in, andun na kami sa level na we share almost everything that is happening in our lives currently.
04:51At nagbibigay ng advice. Pero mas siya yung nagbibigay ng advice sa akin.
04:55Pero, mamaya pag-uusapan natin yan, yung mga tarayan ninyo, nire-rehearse nyo ba yan?
05:02Kasi, ang sharp eh. Alam mo yun, ang, ano, doon pa lang sa teaser, makikita mo na diba parang matalim.
05:13We do rehearse it, but syempre pag dating po sa take, iba na.
05:18I think it's our chemistry together. Kaya po, sana nag-work.
05:24Saan ang gagaling yung chemistry na yun? Sa personal deal, dealings nyo?
05:30Doon din po sa matagal na rin kasi kami magkaibigan ni Barbie.
05:35Ever since I started in GMA.
05:362018?
05:372018 po. Sunday, pinasaya pa lang.
05:41Tsaka si Barbie naman po, madali talaga siyang pakisamahan kasi she's really genuine and she's really warm and welcoming.
05:49So, madali pong katrabaho talaga si Barbie.
05:52Sabi mo kanina na instrumental siya kung bakit grabe yung glow mo ngayon.
05:57Yung glow up mo.
05:59Yes.
06:00Pa'y mo nasabi?
06:01Because she made me realize that I need to prioritize myself.
06:08Me time.
06:09Me time.
06:09I need to love myself more.
06:12Like, she knows naman na I love myself.
06:14You know, I have confidence.
06:15But si Barbie mas pinupush niya yun.
06:18And I really appreciate that.
06:21Kasi minsan sabi nga natin yung self-love or yung self-care, it doesn't happen overnight.
06:28There are times na parang, ah, parang maawalan ka ng confidence.
06:31But si Barbie, she reminds me every single time na, hey, ikaw muna mare.
06:37Yung sinasabi niya po sa akin lagi, ikaw muna, mahalin mo muna yung sarili mo.
06:42I'll be blunt about this kind of, like, you know, like, you know, recently, dumaan ka sa challenges sa buhay mo.
06:54Nandong ba si Barbie?
06:56Yes.
06:57Yes po.
06:58Can you share?
06:59Kung ano yung mga na ipayo niya sa'yo?
07:03Si Barbie po kasi.
07:05Marami siyang napayo sa'kin.
07:12But I would like to share na lang yung mga ginawa niya sa akin.
07:17Sure.
07:17Like, for example, um, one random Tuesday, pag wala kami, nung wala kaming taping, around 4pm, tumawag siya sa akin,
07:26um, um, mare, papunta na ako sa'yo, kakain tayo ha, kakain ka ngayon.
07:31Kasi, may mga moments kasi na hindi ako, wala akong ganang kumain po.
07:36So, si Barbie.
07:36Hindi ka okay nung day na yun?
07:39Um, no, no po, no.
07:43Pero andun nga si Barbie po to remind me all night.
07:45Did she sense it or she knows that you're not okay?
07:48She knows.
07:49She knows.
07:50Opo.
07:51Grabing, grabing naging closeness niyo.
07:53Um, um, pumunta siya sa bahay, nanood kami ng movie, kumain kami, pinadala niya po ako ng pagkain,
08:00pinadala niya rin ako ng kape, of course, kanyan.
08:04At lagi yan, umare, san ka, labas tayo, blah, blah, blah, blah.
08:07So, isa po talagang malaking parte si Barbie na.
08:10Such a blessing to have a friend like that, no?
08:13She is such a blessing.
08:15How is your heart now?
08:16My heart is good.
08:18It's better now.
08:20It's better now?
08:20Yeah, definitely.
08:21With the help of, uh, everyone around me.
08:26Barbie included.
08:27Of course.
08:28Pero, of course, alam natin that, sabi ko nga, the last few months were very challenging for you.
08:35Mm-hmm.
08:35And you never fought back.
08:38Why?
08:40Because,
08:41Nasaktan mo man ako,
08:47I will always show grace.
08:52And I will never fight back publicly.
08:57Because,
08:57And I will never speak up about whatever happened, whatever is happening in my life, publicly, my private life, publicly.
09:07Because,
09:08I do not owe the world my heartbreak.
09:11So,
09:13So,
09:14Sa akin yun.
09:17Hindi porket,
09:19Hinihingi ng publiko,
09:21Na magsalita ako about it,
09:23I will speak up about it.
09:25Sa akin po yun.
09:26Sa akin na lang.
09:27But that,
09:27That doesn't discount the fact that you're hurting.
09:31Uh, true.
09:31Yun ang unfair, eh, no?
09:33True, but,
09:34I do not need to prove myself to anyone.
09:40I'm in that face right now, or that mindset right now, that I do not need any validation galing sa kahit na kanino, especially the public.
09:50Because,
09:50I know that I'm a public figure, but I'm not public's property.
09:54Mm-hmm.
09:55Yeah.
09:55So,
09:57Kung ano man ang nangyayari sa buhay ko, aking na po yun.
10:00Desisyon ko rin kung isi-share ko po yun o hindi.
10:02Ganyan.
10:04But,
10:05Yeah, and,
10:07I will never fight back because,
10:09Alam ko, yung karma, or yung revenge,
10:12Manggagaling yan sa ating Panginoong Diyos.
10:14You never believed in revenge?
10:16No.
10:18No po.
10:18No talaga.
10:20Kasi,
10:21Alam ko rin naman,
10:23Na kung sino man yung nakasakit sa akin,
10:26Mahal rin naman siya ng ating Panginoong Diyos.
10:28Mm-hmm.
10:30At,
10:30Alam ko na mabuti siyang tao as a,
10:32As a person.
10:34Mm-hmm.
10:35Diba?
10:35So,
10:36Alam ko na may kabutihan siya sa puso niya.
10:38So,
10:39Never po talaga.
10:40And,
10:41Again,
10:43Si God na po bahala doon because he saw what I didn't see.
10:46He heard what I didn't hear.
10:49So,
10:49Siya na po yun.
10:51I just,
10:52Move on.
10:53Tama yung sinabi mo that you don't owe anyone any explanation.
10:58But when is this going to stop?
11:02I cannot control that part.
11:07Siguro,
11:07Kaya po hinahayaan ko lang talaga siya.
11:14Because I cannot be bothered by the things that I cannot control.
11:19I will,
11:20I can never control how they feel or think about me.
11:24So,
11:26Para magkaroon po ako ng peace of mind and,
11:30Or kapayapaan lang in general in my life.
11:33I just cannot be bothered by it.
11:36It hurts.
11:36It hurts so much na parang,
11:40Napakadali lang ng mga tao na,
11:42I-judge ako lang.
11:43I want to know what people don't see eh.
11:46Kasi,
11:46You come on as a strong person.
11:49Nak magsasalita because I'm strong.
11:51Judge me,
11:52I don't care.
11:53Ganun ang dating.
11:55But they fail to see
11:56the woman that's hurting behind the camera eh.
12:05Okay lang.
12:06How are you when you're not strong?
12:07How am I when I'm not strong?
12:09I really pray
12:14and
12:15sit with my feelings
12:18and deal with it on my own.
12:25Kasi,
12:26kung ano mong po nangyari sa boy ko,
12:28decision ko naman yun.
12:29So,
12:29I really sit with myself and,
12:31and I just pray.
12:34That's it.
12:37Yeah.
12:39Gabi,
