00:07Mr. Pogi, you know what I was doing in the dressing room?

00:09I was watching your final...

00:11I heard.

00:12You know, I'll tell you something.

00:15There are some people who did in 1996.

00:18That's what, how long ago?

00:20A long time ago.

00:21Yes, yes.

00:56parang kang, parang ang tagal-tagal mo na doon,

01:00and the way you danced,

01:01the way you introduced yourself.

01:12But I'm grateful to, you know,

01:14lahat ng mga taga-itbulaga

01:21a tap on the shoulder for braving that,

01:24and, you know, Mr. Pogge,

01:25I owe everything to that.

01:28I just wanna say that.

01:30You were, it was your stage.

01:31No one has ever said that.

01:35Alam mo kung bakit?

02:30You're very kind to say that.

02:31No,

02:32but what a journey.

02:33You are changing the way I look at it now.

02:34What a journey it has been.

02:36It has also changed my impression.

02:38Believe me.

02:40Ang sarap-sarap panorin.

02:41And I'm saying that again and again and again.

02:44But, you know,

02:45I look at you,

02:46I stare at you.

02:47How big is it that 16-year-old boy

02:50who was dancing and running

02:53on that It Bulaga stage?

02:55Still there.

02:56Eko?

02:57Oh, it's here.

02:58It's very much alive.

02:59It's here.

02:59Because that 16-year-old boy

03:02only wanted one thing.

03:04I just wanted the house

03:06for my mom

03:07and for my brother, Jeremiah.

03:08So, I said,

03:10you know,

03:10I'm tired of hopping,

03:12you know,

03:12we're going to get out of the house

03:14and, you know,

03:15caretakers of the house.

03:16You know, it's fun.

03:17I mean,

03:17seeing ghosts in, you know,

03:20houses that are abandoned.

03:22But it would be nice

03:23to have our own house.

03:24And, you know,

03:25given that break,

03:26and I said, you know,

03:27that's the only thing I want.

03:28I want to be able to get out of poverty

03:30and have a house.

03:32And now,

03:33I never imagined to be,

03:35you know,

03:35playing these roles,

03:36having this kind of life,

03:37you know.

03:38There are lots of,

03:39you know,

03:40lots of ups and downs.

03:41But,
