FunTranscript
00:30Basayang kwentuhan at kantahan ang magaganap ngayong hapon.
00:34Dahil ang ating mga bisita ay parehong maganda, parehong sexy, parehong mayaman, parehong magaling, at parehong palaban.
00:45Nai Tai Kapuso, please welcome Rachel Alejandro and Geneva Cruz.
00:51So nice to be back.
00:54Welcome back.
00:55Hello.
00:55Thank you very much.
00:57Maraming maraming salamat.
00:59Huh? Kumusta kayong dalawa?
01:00We're good. We're good. We're great.
01:03I'm very happy to see Gurly Rod is here in the studio.
01:06Of course, our mother boos.
01:08But before we talk about the friendship, sabi ko nga, I want to talk to you about your dynamics as performers.
01:14Tuwing kayong magkasama sa isang show, how is it?
01:17Ay, saya.
01:18We're always making fun of each other.
01:21Lagi kaming, especially when we're doing spills, di ba, sa mga concerts.
01:24Of course, talagang we give each other a hard time and we're always like just laughing at each other.
01:28We're always having fun.
01:29Always having so much fun.
01:30Okay.
01:30Saan ang gagaling?
01:32Ang mga lukuhan?
01:33Masyadong kilala.
01:34Love life?
01:35Masyadong namin kilala yung isa't isa.
01:37That's the story there.
01:39But bayad, pareho.
01:42Yes, pareho.
01:44Ating magkapated.
01:47Ating magkapated at sulit na sulit kapag kinukuhan yyo kami.
01:52But you're doing some shows in the US.
01:55We did.
01:55We did.
01:56We were do not so far.
01:59Kasi I live in the US now, di ba?
02:01Right.
02:01And Jen naman, it's so funny kasi when I moved to the US, siya namang balik dito, right?
02:05So, it's like we're long-distance friends, but we don't need to be in touch or always talking to be the best of friends.
02:15It's so weird.
02:15Ganun kami ka, ka ano, yung that kind of connection, ganun kami ka secure sa aming relationship.
02:21Sometimes we won't even talk for months, pero we pick it right back up, you know?
02:26Same.
02:26Kanila, you mentioned about friendship, and that's the kind of friendship that you have.
02:31Ito yung klase ng pag-i-magkaibigan na hindi kinakailang magkasama, pero magkaibigan.
02:35Yes.
02:36Di ba?
02:37Um, how did you become friends?
02:39Yung first impression sa isa't isa?
02:43Sabi niya suklada.
02:44Sabi ko, di ba?
02:45O, sabi ko parang medyo nakakatakot kasi parang...
02:48Parang intimidating.
02:49Intimidating kasi parang palagi siyang mainisip.
02:53Palagi siyang nakafocus on something.
02:55Pero tas biglang, isang beses, sasabihin niya, kanina kumakanta siya.
02:59Biglang nakita niya ko, hi.
03:01Balik doon siya.
03:02Gano'n, alam mo yung gano'n siya.
03:05Pero napapagama lang talaga siya ng suklada.
03:08Kasi yung, minsan yung face niya pag hindi siya nakasmile, di ba?
03:12Pero ang ganda ng smile niya, di ba?
03:14Pero napakabait ni Rachel, alam mo yun.
03:17So, eto na nga, Tito Boys, sabi ko na ba?
03:20First impression mo muna.
03:21First impression.
03:22Ako naman, I just knew her to be the crush ng bayan.
03:26So, yun lang yung lagi ko naririnig sa mga boys.
03:28Boys?
03:29Some of them, boys.
03:30The boys.
03:31So, syempre yung iba doon, mga crush ko din, ganyan, ganyan.
03:33Pero lahat sila, they only had eyes for her.
03:36Wait, can you say that again?
03:37Ang ibang boys, crush mo.
03:38Pero ang crush, si Geneva.
03:41She's always been that.
03:42She has this parang gayuma.
03:44Or whatever it is.
03:45Magpangalan na tayo, patulad.
03:46Ito yung napapagkwento ha lang naman.
03:47Pagkwento na.
03:48But literally, talaga, a lot of the actors of our generation really had crushes on them.
03:59Hindi ko alam yun.
03:59Na-sya-sya yun.
04:00Okay, one time, you were saying, one time.
04:03Okay, one time, nasa floating restaurant kami sa Manila.
04:07Ano siya?
04:09Pa-in-launch, lunch ng isang restaurant.
04:11So, isa siyang floating restaurant.
04:12And nakita ko si Rachel, nakaupo siya sa isang lamesa.
04:16And yung mukha niya, ang ano kasi, si Rachel, siya ka ako, pagka masama yung loob namin or may dinadala kami, halata.
04:23Hindi namin kaya itago.
04:25Pero pag pinakanta mo na, parang walang, parang walang, parang walang, parang walang problema.
04:31So, nakita ko siya, may niyak-niyak na siya.
04:34So, naramdaman ko siya.
04:35Tapos, sinanong ko lang siya.
04:36So, I go, hi, Rach.
04:38So, I go, are you okay?
04:41I go, are you okay?
04:42Sabi niya, no, I'm not.
04:45Tire-direcho na, Tito Boy.
04:46Sabi nagsalita na siya, umukuna ako.
04:48Heartbreak yun.
04:50Pagkatapos nun, nung araw na yun, that was in 1999.
04:54Kami pa nung ex ko, si Casey nung time na yun, palagi na siya ng third wheel.
04:59So, simula nung 1999, best friends na kami.
05:03So, nag-de-date kayo, halimbang kasama kayo na Casey Montero, ikaw naman ang third wheel.
05:07Tapos, lagi ko silang kasama, minsan natutulog ako doon sa kamay.
05:10So, of course, we would go out a lot.
05:14Kasi siyempre kabataan.
05:16So, I was like a tag-along to them.
05:18Siyempre, they would, para malibang ako, para mawala yung heartbreak.
05:22So, I think, we've always had that connection.
05:24She did took care of it.
05:25We've always had that connection.
05:26You know, heartbreak played an important role in this friendship.
05:29Of course.
05:30Definitely.
05:30Kahit sakin, eh. Nung ako naman yung...
05:32Anong nangyari naman?
05:34Nandiyan din siya.
05:34So, as friends, when you talk about men, how is it?
05:42Ha?
05:43Para mo kayo ng type?
05:44Alam ko lang.
05:44Para mo kayo ng type?
05:45As in, very detailed.
05:50Talaga.
05:52Oh, siyempre, dito, boi.
05:54You don't hide each other.
05:55Para mo kayo ng type?
05:56Hindi.
05:57Hindi.
05:57Hindi.
05:58Wala din naman ako certain type.
06:00Actually, wala naman.
06:01Wala naman kamay naman particular type.
06:03I think, it's a different, eh.
06:04It's the connection.
06:06Of course, we're talking about men in the past, ha?
06:09We're not talking about now.
06:10The present.
06:11So, you're detailed.
06:14Yeah.
06:14Almost, what?
06:18Bordering on the graphic.
06:20Ay, talagang graphic.
06:23Best friends, nga, dito.
06:25Oo, talagang.
06:26Alam mo yung merong kang mga kapatid, di ba?
06:27Tapos, hindi mo masabi lahat doon.
06:29Pero you have that, you know, you have this best friend na...
06:32Right.
06:32Alam mo, hindi ka judge.
06:34I'm not saying na-jina judge.
06:35But, you know, kami ni Rachel to each other.
06:40Plus, si Jeffrey, ganun kami.
06:42Actually, Jeffrey is her.
06:43Jeffrey Hidalgo.
06:44Jeffrey Hidalgo.
06:45Alam namin na...
06:46May safe space kami.
06:48May safe space kami.
06:49Kasi we can be as honest.
06:51Parang, merong kunyari something that you might not even say to anybody else, di ba?
06:56Kasi alam namin hindi...
06:57Hindi kami i-judjudge.
06:58Hindi kami i-judjudge.
06:59And wherever you are, basta magkasama is a safe space.
07:04Yes.
07:05If you have a song of friendship, what would that be?
07:10Ah, together again.
07:12Sige nga.
07:12Oh, together again.
07:13Kasi we love to sing this parang 90s songs na.
07:17Kasi that was our parang heyday.
07:19As they say.
07:20Kumusta ang lagay ng inyong mga puso ngayon?
07:23And of course, last April, we lost your dad, our dear friend Hodge.

10:47Oh, ikaw.
10:47So, ikaw, sumunit.
10:48Wala kang mayusip.
10:49Wala kang mayusip.
10:52Ako kasi I just started producing, di ba?
10:55So, ang dream ko is to be able to produce the material na talagang malapit sa puso ko.
11:00Which is?
11:00Yun ang dream ko.
11:01Maybe to champion like Filipino music more in the world.
11:05Ano you've been doing that?
11:06I have been doing that.
11:07You've been doing that?
11:07Pero parang to do more and to be, you know, to really put OPM on the world stage.
11:14And of course, Philippine cinema as well.
11:15But of course, we're getting there.
11:17Okay.
11:17But I want to be able to do more.
11:18Yeah, you told me that.
11:19Say it and it happens.
11:21Di ba?
11:21Jen, ikaw?
11:23Ako, Tito Boy, ang gusto ko talaga is, sa totoo lang, a happy family life.
11:29Yeah.
11:29That's what I want.
11:30A beach house and, you know.
11:33Baka mangyari nito pang ilang bes na ako maging maid of honor nito, eh.
11:37Alam mo, sabi niya, sisiko yata may balat.
11:41Beach house.
11:43You're talking about dito, Amerika, saan?
11:45Doesn't matter, Tito Boy.
11:46Doesn't matter.
11:47A family.
11:48I'm talking about family.
11:49Okay.
11:49Let's talk about, kumusta ang estado ng inyong puso ngayon?
11:52Um, napakasaya, Tito Boy.
11:54Hindi ako nag-expect.
11:55But, uh...
11:56Yeah.
11:56Uh, yeah, I'm dating someone that I dated in 2022.
11:59Right.
11:59And I, and sis, alam niya to, and, uh, uh, I guess, pag hindi ka nag-expect, then sometimes they come back.
12:08May ganun, oh?
12:08Yeah.
12:09Yeah, yeah.
12:09When you look within, um, yung parang inayos mo yung sarili mo, pwedeng dumating.
12:16Marunong ka na mag-jiu-jitsu ngayon.
12:18Um, he start, he has started to teach me.
12:21So, pati si London, kasi for, ano, di ba, para rin mo.
12:25Fitness, fitness.
12:25Hindi, tsaka yung jiu-jitsu is, uh, para paga merong, you know, in times of trouble, ready yung anak ko rin.
12:31Self-defense.
12:32Right.
12:33Like, I have an 11-year-old daughter whom he really loves, and he takes care of her, cooks for her, um, picks him up and takes him, takes her to school.
12:44So, I really appreciate it.
12:45Does he understand what you do?
12:49Alam niya, of course.
12:50And alam niya pinasukan niya.
12:52Uh-oh.
12:52Yeah, he knows about my life.
12:54And, uh, he's very mature.
12:56He's very, very loving.
12:58And he's so...
12:59No, what I'm referring to is, di ba may mga, ang weird ng buhay natin.
13:02Ah, you mean show business?
13:03Yeah, I know.
13:04Yeah, in a way, in a way, kasi, I know na my boundaries.
13:09Alam ko na yung mga hindi ko gagawin sa show business.
13:12Like, for example, yung mga sexy.
13:14Ano, hindi...
13:15Okay.
13:16Ayoko na, ayoko na ganun.
13:18As much as possible, gusto kong gumawa ng mga pelikula na gusto kong gawin.
13:22Maganda talaga.
13:23Ano, yung mga teleserye.
13:24Pero, I see myself more as a performer, as a singer talaga.
13:2814 years.
13:30Tama ba ang bilang?
13:3114 years, yes.
13:3114 years.
13:3214 years married, yes.
13:33Married, yes.
13:35Oo, kung musta?
13:36Good.
13:37You know, um, you know, when my dad passed nga.
13:39Right.
13:40As they say nga, di ba, nagkakasubukan when the going gets rough.
13:44Right.
13:44Particularly nung pandemic, I was really down and out then kasi walang work.
13:48But he was my rock.
13:49And then the same when my dad passed, he came with me, he came back to, kahit may work siya,
13:54he came with me to the Philippines, he came back here.
13:57And siya talaga, he was, he was there for me talaga.
14:01How are you coping with the loss?
14:04We miss him.
14:05I can imagine how much you miss him.
14:09Yeah.
14:10Every day, minsan, kunyari, I'm outside.
14:12Di ba, naglalakad lang ako sa New York, sa kalsada.
14:14Minsan, I'll just break down.
14:16Kasi biglang may maaalala akong moment, di ba, of us performing together or he said something funny.
14:22And I find myself, parang lagi kong, when I'm with people, I tend to tell them stories of,
14:28you know, my dad said this, he said this funny thing na ganyan-ganyan.
14:31I tell stories upon stories ng mga just funny moments with him.
14:37Oh, Jen, I'm sure meron kang interaction with Tita Hodge.
14:40Anong hindi mo malilimutan?
14:42Hindi, kasi sobrang bait niya talaga.
14:45Like, kasama, palagi akong invited sa mga family gatherings nila.
14:50So, never ko siyang nakita na hindi nakang ngiti, ganoon.
14:54Always like, well, hi Tito Haji, ganyan, hi Geneva.
14:57Always, always.
14:58And plus, I'm a fan of his.
15:01Kasi napagaling talaga ang performer.
15:03And on time lagi, napaka-professional, napakagaling pa rin ang boses,
15:09ang galing pa rin sumayaw.
15:10Kaya naintindihan ko si Sis when she was talking to me.
15:15Nung nasa hospital nga si Tito Haji.
15:19It was really tearing her apart.
15:22Talagang, kasi nga yung dad niya, na isa sa idols niya.
15:28Yun nga.
15:29Nakikita niya he was weak.
15:31You know, it was hard for her to watch.
15:33What was that last conversation you had with dad?
15:36When he was already, it was very, ano na eh, in the end eh.
15:41You know, yung parang, I just, I just wanted him to be, to tell me parang, anong mga bilin mo.
15:47Kasi itos, di ba, at the end, di ba, you want for him to, I wanted him to tell me what he wanted.
15:53And of course, a lot of it had to do with his, kung gusto ba niyong mag, to go back to the hospital.
15:59Kasi he decided to stay at home.
16:01Di ba, he wanted to, he just wanted to do palliative care.
16:04So yung mga ganun, at the end, di ba, it was about things like that.
16:08So, sinabi niya yun?
16:10Oo, na gusto niya lang niya, nasa bahay na lang siya, ayaw na niyang magpagamot.
16:13And of course, talagang, I wanted, oh my God, that was the hardest.
16:17Kasi, gusto ko, gusto ko siyang lumaban sana.
16:20Pero at the same time, ito boy.
16:21Did you express that to him?
16:23Alam mo, ano, kasi sobra akong, she had to be strong, pero sobra akong respectful, at sobra ko siyang mahal,
16:31na hindi ko masabi sa kanya, oh my God, lumabang ka.
16:34Hindi ko ma, parang, alam mo yun, okay dad, parang ganun, ganun na lang.
16:39At that point, ibibigay ko lahat ang gusto mo.
16:42I just wanted to respect what he wanted, you know.
16:45So, in a way, minsan, I think about it, na parang, dapat mo, pinilet ko.
16:50Ano mo yun?
16:51Hindi, but I understand.
16:52I understand.
16:54Oo, hindi eh.
16:56Ibibigay mo.
16:57That's coming from a space of love.
17:00If you have a song for dad, sorry to go there, but what would that be, Rach?
17:06That's his song.
17:07Ang lahat ng ito para sa'yo.
17:09Beautiful song.
17:10Jen, if you have a song right now, of your life, I mean, the song that you think ay maglalarawan sa buhay ni Geneva ngayon, ano yun?
17:21Back in the day, Wind Beneath My Wings, that's one of my favorite songs, so.
17:25Let's end this conversation, please, with a song that you can do together.
17:31Ah, pinatak ko ito eh, na nakachine.
17:33Ay, Tito boy.
17:35We had a show.
17:36We had a show.
17:36Oh, okay.
17:37Oh, okay.
17:37Oh, okay.
17:38Maraming maraming salamat.
17:39Thank you, Ray.
17:41Thank you, Tito boy.
17:42Thank you so much.
17:46Thank you so much.
17:55Thank you for dropping by.
17:57Maraming maraming salamat.
17:58Bravo!
