00:00What is your challenge doing Manuel Luis Quezon?

00:06First of all, I did not expect that I would be playing the president.

00:12I have a story. I go to this gallery-slash-antique shop.

00:21And then, during the pandemic, I saw a bust of a person.

00:28The head is big.

00:30Then, I saw her, I was angry.

00:32She was angry.

00:34She was angry and passionate.

00:36So, I was intrigued by her.

00:40But her energy was too much for me.

00:44And then, fast forward,

00:48when we shoot, I came back to the shop.

00:52And then, I walked her.

00:54We locked our eyes.

00:56And then, I realized,

00:58Shit.

01:00That was Manuel Quezon.

01:02As in five meters away from me.

01:04He looked at me. He screamed.

01:06And I know that photograph of his.

01:08And then,

01:10He looked at me.

01:12It was a bust made by...

01:16...Nepomoseno.

01:18Graciano T. Nepomoseno.

01:20Wow.

01:21I went there.

01:22I held the head.

01:23It was this big.

01:24And I said, I'm bringing you home.

01:26I'm bringing you home.

01:28Not knowing that this is the guy I'm going to play.

01:30I bought the...

01:32I bought him.

01:33I bought him in the house.

01:34And every time we shoot,

01:35this is the man.

01:36And then, at the top of my head,

01:38my head,

01:40they made my bust.

01:42Right?

01:43Because we were prosthetics.

01:44That's the same thing.

01:46It's that energy

01:48Na nilagay ko

01:50Dun sa sarili ko

01:52As Manuel L. Quezon.

01:54That I realized

01:56This is what it feels like

01:58To have this much passion.

02:00This much rage.

02:02This much...

02:04Love.

02:06Energy.

02:07And just...

02:08Desire.

02:09Kasi...

02:11Pagkatapos natin mag-shoot, pare.

02:13As in, parang...

02:15Gumaang yung loob ko eh.

02:17Iba yung feeling eh.

02:19Parang ganun.

02:20Oo.
