00:00Can you tell us about the concept of the event and why in Santa Rosa?

00:05Well, number one, the purpose of the 15th anniversary is all about giving back and paying it forward.

00:14I really want to give a highlight of course in the past years

00:20because it's just me that we see, the audience, and the support of me.

00:27And right now, all of the people that are very much a part of my journey in the past 15 years,

00:32they're the biggest highlight with this event.

00:36And why Santa Rosa? Because I've been in the industry for a long time

00:41because I've never had an event or a big event that I've been in the place where I've been.

00:48And of course, with the help of the people in Santa Rosa as well, we were able to mount this event.

00:54And I'm very excited.

00:55Para kahit papano, may balik ko naman to sa mga kababayan ko,

00:58na since day one was always, is always there for me.

01:03What has been like the best fan interaction that you've ever had wherein you learned something?

01:11I think there were a lot of fan interactions wherein nagugulat na lang ako dun sa mga naririnig kong news about what happened.

01:24But in general kasi, I think one of the most important things and the most memorable to me is yung mga...

01:34Yung mga...

01:36Paano ba to?

01:37Paano ko ba sabihin na parang hindi self-service?

01:39But anyway, sabihin ko na rin.

01:41Yung mga natulungan ko before, nalalapit sa akin,

01:45and then sasabihin na ito na yung buhay nila ngayon just because of that.

01:49Actually, help that we were able to give.

01:53Actually, maliit na tulong lang yun.

01:54But on how it really changed their life and gave them comfort.

01:59I think yun yung minsan mga nagugulat na kong fan encounters with cups to the mom.

02:04Or let's say, uh...

02:06Well, one of the things to be specific was when this happened way back 2019 was,

02:12I don't know if nakwento ko na ito but, um...

02:15Hindi ko lang talaga siya makalimutan because it's my core memory.

02:19Uh...

02:20There was this girl who was standing, uh...

02:24in the crowd and opening ito nung tindahan namin sa Binyan.

02:28And then she was holding a diploma and then...

02:31Parang nakatingil lang siya sa akin the whole time.

02:34Tapos ang...

02:37Uh...

02:38She was smiling and then ako nagigisip siya,

02:39ay ba ba't kaya laging nakangiti sa akin itong si...

02:42si ate.

02:43And then when the time came na pwede nga siya makalapit sa akin,

02:47she approached me and then she told me...

02:50that...

02:51uh...

02:52Graduate na siya.

02:53And I was responsible for...

02:57for her...

02:58uh...

02:59accomplishment

03:00sa college or in school.

03:02So...

03:03I mean...

03:04I think...

03:05The main point that I want to say about things like that is...

03:09uh...

03:11Wala talaga sa volume ang pagtulong.

03:14May it be small, may it be big.

03:16It's the thought, it's the effect it has on people.

03:20And...

03:21Parang it gives me more...

03:24um...

03:25You know...

03:27It gives me more passion.

03:29It gives me more...

03:30It grounds me where I am right now.

03:32Na parang because of all the things that I'm doing in my own small way,

03:36it creates...

03:38uh...

03:39ripples of kindness and it extends...

03:41to...

03:42uh...

03:43the common good.

03:44So parang...

03:45Isa yun sa mga bagay kung bakit pinagpapatuloy ko yung ginagawa ko ngayon

03:48is really to have...

03:49that kind of platform, that kind of reach when it comes to people.

03:53And...

03:54um...

03:55That...

03:56That's what keeps me going, so...

03:57one.

04:01Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk...
