00:00Welcome to the program!
00:30She is so happy for us because she is so happy and beautiful.
00:36She was one of the hottest stars of her time.
00:39And it is difficult to forget someone like her.
00:43Naitai Kapuso, please welcome, Amanda Page!
00:54Thank you very much!
00:56You are very welcome. I'm glad to be here.
01:01Are you still in Tagalog now?
01:03No.
01:04I'm not going to lie to you. It's not good.
01:08You've always spoken Tagalog in a very quaint but cute way.
01:15You know, I try. I guess when I speak Tagalog, parang wala kong accent.
01:20In my head wala kong accent.
01:22But in fact, I have an accent.
01:24When I hear it played back on camera or on a recording.
01:30So, you know, when I talk Tagalog, I think, oh yeah, I sound great.
01:34But when I hear it back, I'm like, oh, oh God, no.
01:38Wow.
01:39Okay, I remember that the name of you was like,
01:41I'm like, oh yeah, I remember that.
01:44Why don't we try it?
01:46Let's try it.
01:48Oh, boy.
01:51This is how I express how much I miss you, Amanda.
01:54You're gonna do me dirty.
01:55No, no, no.
01:56I know you are.
01:57It's just gonna be fun.
01:58It's just gonna be fun.
01:59Let's try it.
02:00Okay.
02:01Speak in Tagalog.
02:02And let's see how you do.
02:06Good evening to all of you.
02:08I'm Amanda Page.
02:10And I'm here at Fast Talk with Boya Bunda,
02:14here at GMA,
02:15where I started my television career.
02:22Oh, beautiful.
02:24You're still alive.
02:28You're back here in town.
02:29Thank you for doing that.
02:30You're back here because you were part of a show.
02:33You joined the show,
02:34Legends of the Dance Floor.
02:35What's happening?
02:36How's your experience?
02:38Tell us a story.
02:40Well, I was,
02:41I received a message from Mother Beth Bechara
02:45a couple months ago,
02:46and she told me about her idea for this show.
02:48And at first, it sounded like a pipe dream,
02:50like, you know, just so many dancers.
02:55The idea, the concept was just so extraordinary
02:59that I really didn't think that they were going to be able to execute this.
03:04Fantastic.
03:05And it sounds like you can't say no to somebody like Mary Beth.
03:09She emotionally blackmailed me.
03:12How?
03:13How?
03:14How?
03:15How?
03:16How?
03:17It was very easy for her to say,
03:19please, just one last time for us.
03:22Oh.
03:23And I said, oh, okay.
03:25But I'm in menopause.
03:26And my body doesn't move the way it used to.
03:29Noong panahon ni Amanda Page,
03:32you did it quite differently.
03:34I mean, there was a certain groove.
03:36There was, it was a certain grace.
03:38Iba ka sumayaw?
03:39Paano mo natutunan yun?
03:42Well, growing up,
03:44nakarano ko ng maraming dance classes growing up.
03:47Also, I tend to, I have a neurodivergent brain.
03:53I have ADHD.
03:54And so I feel like my ADHD helped me to be able to memorize all this choreography
04:03in a short amount of time.
04:05Because see, I think the problem with dancing is,
04:07in order to do what I did in the past, you had to memorize so much.
04:12And Mary Beth did not go easy on me.
04:14And so, I think that that's really where my ADHD kicked in,
04:18because I could perform under pressure,
04:21perform in a short amount of time,
04:23and also memorize such a huge amount of choreography.
04:26Ang sarap sana pag-usapan yan, because I can relate to that.
04:29I mean, about ADHD.
04:31And hindi ka talagang binigyan ng madadaling steps ni Mary Beth.
04:35Because every time I think about Amanda Page,
04:37alam niyo po,
04:38ang una kong naalala yung,
04:40yung mga ganon,
04:42hindi ka ba nahihiyo?
04:44Like that?
04:45Yung mga ganon.
04:46You're gonna give me a stiff neck.
04:47I know, but you know,
04:48that's the first image that comes to mind.
04:51Can you show me some movements?
04:53Uh-huh.
04:54Right.
04:55Uh-huh.
04:56Huh.
04:57What do you mean?
04:58What do I do mean...
04:59You know, what do you used to do,
05:00I mean, without having to really do the dance,
05:01you were doing modern dance, basically.
05:05Is that right?
05:06Jazz.
05:07Jazz.
05:08you know what you used to do i mean without having to really do the dance you were doing
05:16modern dance basically jazz and it's not easy yes but i was really young
05:25so of course the limbs were limbering it's different thank you but let's not forget
05:31that you were an og for one of my favorite shows sop sop yes
05:37what uh what are your fondest memories about sop my fondest memories are young relationship with
05:45obviously my co-host especially name them who are they it was vena jano ogie yes
05:51no no i just wanted to ask i'm sorry they are decent human beings
05:59there was one incidence and i don't think i've ever told this story on air
06:06better uh okay i didn't know i had adhd back then so i was in the dressing room and i had like this
06:14one piece costume on and then i had to readjust like my tights so i took off my costume took off
06:21my tights put them back on put up my costume but i didn't realize that i only had put my costume on
06:27until here and so i walked out of the dressing room and the first thing i see jano gibbs just
06:35looks at me like he just just jaw dropped like his mouth is like hanging on the floor and he and i'm
06:43like what say it i'm like what and he's like he's like look and i'm like what look at what and then i
06:48go like this and i was just totally naked from top totally topless in front of the whole dressing
06:55room and i was just like oh oh geez okay and then so i walked back into the end i don't think they'll
07:01ever let me forget that
07:02i can't imagine you walking up yeah you have to ask him that story because he will tell you
07:10he will tell you it was it was a shock to everybody in the dressing room that day
07:14you are one of the most iconic i want to go to that word sexy stars do you do you mind do you
07:23cringe are you proud how do you feel no i well you know i'm kind of ambivalent about it obviously
07:31you know it's i think for my american friends when they see that they're like what does that mean
07:36they don't understand it but i'm they some some of them some of them no but for me it's okay
07:44for it's okay for that label for me um but sometimes it gets it gets cringy when because
07:52i'm not so active on social media but when i post things on social media i'll get a lot of comments
07:57like thanking me for making men thanking me for making them tall and i'm like i'm sorry
08:05that's what i said i was like why do they keep commenting this and then i go oh oh okay so so like
08:23sometimes it gets cringy because how do i respond to that but when you return your career
08:27when you return your stint here in the Philippines do you have regrets in your heart
08:35no because i feel like i feel like everything i did i was meant to experience a lot whether it be positive or negative i think it's always a positive experience because if you learn from something and then you grow
08:49what's the biggest intrigue was mentioned by Amanda page um uh
08:54uh yung dati yung i don't know if you remember when i guessed upon your show yung inquirer yung ano allegedly allegedly i was in a sex video
09:04Oh, I think that one was the most painful because I think you and young peanut I know because it almost is if
09:13Like she got in for it. I don't know if you
09:16The people want to believe the worst about someone and so I felt like I wasn't even given an opportunity
09:22Really because it's always like whatever's negative out there is what people will always believe okay?
09:282001 you were at the height of your career
09:31Tapos bigla ka nalang naglaho. Bakit?
09:37Eh kasi
09:39Parang feeling ko when I was in showbiz
09:45That was never going to be my endgame. I always had a different endgame the endgame
09:50The endgame was I was not going to grow old in showbiz
09:54I was not going to grow old in showbiz. I was not going to stay in showbiz
09:58I always knew going into it that
10:00That this was just a portion of my life and that I was going to move on
10:04Right
10:05Kung meron kang tatlong taong pasasalamatan sa showbiz
10:08Sino sila at bakit?
10:10Uh, well first obviously, uh, boss vic of eva films because he gave me my first break
10:17Mm
10:17Uh
10:18Two, uh, I would have to say maribeth bachata because she's been my mentor for so long and I got to do what I love because of her and have fun with what I'm doing and the third
10:37Oh my gosh, that is a tough one
10:39The third I would have to say
10:42Maybe
10:44Fernanda Poe jr
10:47Yeah
10:47Fernanda Poe jr. I think that I really enjoyed the time I, uh, had working with him and the break I got from, you know, just
10:56Yeah, just I got to work with him
10:59Just being in his company
11:00Yeah, just being in his presence
11:01Being in the presence, yes
11:02Of greatness

12:58Fierce
12:59Maraming mga nagbamasid sa ating pag-uusap Amanda
13:05Siguro ang katanungan ngayon ay
13:07Magbabalik show business ba si Amanda?
13:11Kaya narito siya sa Pilipinas
13:14At ano yung indecent proposal na sinasabi niya?
13:17Ang kasagutan?
13:18Sa pagbabalik po ng Fast Talk with Boy Abunda
13:21At maraming maraming salamat muli
13:31But let's talk about
13:34You know what people are asking now
13:35Are you gonna come back?
13:37Is there anything that will make you come back to show business?
13:42Maybe the rapture?
13:49That's tough
13:50You know
13:51No I know because it was not your end game
13:53I don't really understand
13:54Yes, yes
13:54Most likely no
13:58I mean I'm never gonna say never
14:00We're gone, it's a rapture
14:00I'm never gonna say never
14:01Pero
14:03Yung Pan and Filinko
14:04I feel like I'm very fortunate right now in my life
14:07I have
14:08I just
14:09I love where I'm at with my life
14:11I love being just a normal person
14:14Having a normal life
14:15I love going to work
14:17I love going to gym
14:18I love doing day-to-day things
14:19And having that anonymity
14:22And also I feel like the work that my husband and I do
14:25It's very rewarding
14:26It's very rewarding because
14:28So many people
14:31I'm gonna wait, I'm sorry
14:32You're working in your clinic
14:34Yes
14:34Lee is the doctor
14:38And what do you do?
14:40What is your work in the clinic?
14:41I'm the administrator
14:43So I oversee
14:44Kasi marami kaming
14:46Si Lee oversees
14:48Other doctors and providers
14:51Other doctors in the clinic
14:52Yes
14:52Tapos meron kaming
14:54Meron kaming isa pang office
14:57Where we do
14:58Non-invasive deep brain stimulation
15:02For the severely depressed
15:04Ito yung
15:05ELECT
15:06Yes
15:07It's an MRI strength magnet
15:09Tapos
15:10If you're severely depressed
15:11And you don't qualify
15:13To
15:14Be an inpatient
15:15At a hospital
15:16We can treat your depression
15:18Outside of the hospital
15:20Where you don't have to
15:21Go in and actually stay
15:22You can have outpatient treatment
15:24Marami kayong kliyente
15:25Nung pandemic
15:26Yes
15:27Well I think
15:28I think sa mental health
15:29It's safe to say
15:30Na marami talagang pasyente
15:32In total
15:33Always
15:33It's real
15:34Yeah
15:35Ang nangyari kasi sa mental health
15:37Dati
15:38Ay hindi ito pinag-uusapan
15:39Dito sa Pilipinas
15:40Or
15:41May mga nagsasabing
15:42Hindi naman seryosong problema yan
15:43Ano lamang yun
15:44But I think
15:45It has gotten
15:46Massive attention
15:49And people are now
15:51Taking mental health
15:53Very
15:53Very seriously
15:54They should take it seriously
15:56And I don't think it's
15:57I don't
15:58I think it's because
15:59It's stigmatized in this country
16:00And what I
16:01Want to promote
16:02Is the de-stigmatization
16:04Of mental health
16:05Because
16:06Sometimes
16:07People think that
16:09They're only depressed
16:11When they're severely depressed
16:12But a large part
16:14Of the population
16:15Is walking around
16:16Maybe mildly depressed
16:18Or somewhat depressed
16:19But because
16:20They think they're functioning
16:21They don't actually recognize
16:23That they have some sort of
16:24Mild depression
16:25Or anhedonia
16:26Which is
16:27Anhedonia
16:28Anhedonia
16:29It's a lack
16:30Of finding joy
16:31In things that
16:31You used to
16:32You used to enjoy
16:33Okay
16:33So magandang paalala po yan
16:35Na huwag natin
16:37Antay na
16:37Severe
16:38Yes
16:39Because
16:40Especially the
16:41Psychiatry
16:42Has gotten
16:44So much more advanced
16:46These days
16:46And you don't
16:47It's almost like
16:48I appreciate the work
16:50We do
16:50Because we can help
16:52We can help people
16:53Live their best lives
16:55Yung optimum
16:56Level
16:58Yes
16:58Nang living
17:00But before I forget
17:01You got
17:03Indecent proposals
17:05During your time
17:06Who didn't
17:07Who doesn't get them
17:09I didn't
17:09What
17:09Do you want me to send you one
17:13No no no
17:14How much
17:16Magano
17:17Ma what is your price
17:18No no no
17:19I can't
17:20I'm shy
17:20No
17:20Talagang
17:21Meron
17:22Of course
17:23I think in that time
17:24That era
17:25Yeah
17:25Of course people will try
17:26Doesn't mean they'll succeed
17:28Did you get one
17:29Na harapan
17:30No
17:31No
17:31Never
17:32Kumusta ka binang nanay
17:34Sino
17:34Kumusta ka
17:35Oh
17:36Oh okay
17:37Got it
17:38Got it
17:38Yeah
17:38I'm a great mom
17:39You are
17:40Yeah
17:41Tomesa
17:41Yes
17:42Yes
17:43Yes
17:44Who has an IQ of what
17:45149
17:46Well we don't tell him that
17:48You don't
17:49He
17:49He
17:50He
17:50He has a very high IQ
17:51But he doesn't know
17:52He doesn't know
17:53What his score is
17:54He's a member of this
17:54Organization
17:55I call it
17:56The Association of the Smart
17:57Mensa
17:58Mensa
17:58Yeah
17:58Just like his
17:59Ni-Nong Dennis
17:59Yeah
18:00Just like his
18:01Ni-Nong Dennis
18:01And so
18:02From a very early age
18:03He knew his
18:04Ni-Nong Dennis
18:05Was in Mensa
18:06And when I explained it to him
18:08He wanted to take the test
18:10Dennis Poe is the brother of Lee
18:11Yes
18:11Dennis is the brother of Lee
18:12Who is in the studio
18:13Yes
18:13Who is a dear friend of mine
18:14Also
18:15Okay
18:15So yeah
18:17He wanted to take the Mensa exam
18:19Because he wanted to be like his uncle
18:21Wow
18:22Okay
18:23How is it like
18:24How is it like
18:25Raising
18:26An extremely bright boy
18:28You know it was interesting
18:31Because every parent wants to think that their kid is smart
18:33So he was doing things at a very early age
18:36That I thought were just
18:38You know he got lucky
18:39Like when he would add numbers
18:40He was four
18:41And then as he
18:43During the pandemic
18:44He was homeschooled
18:46And it was actually
18:47One of my friends
18:47Who homeschooled him
18:48And
18:49She just said
18:51You know
18:51He's so bright
18:52He's probably one of the brightest students
18:54I've ever had
18:55In the 30 years
18:55I've been teaching
18:56And
18:57You know
18:58I asked
18:58Should I have him tested
18:59And she said yes
19:01And that's when we found out
19:02That he
19:03He's
19:03He's gifted
19:04Yeah
19:05You're an excellent mother
19:06Kung tatanoyin ko si Lee
19:07Kung anong klasik ang asawa
19:09What do you think
19:10Lee would say
19:11He would say
19:13He would say
19:13I'm an amazing wife
19:15Okay
19:17Or else
19:17He better say that
19:18Or else he's dead
19:19He better say that
19:19I wish I could do a conversation
19:21With you and Lee
19:22And
19:23Maybe next time
