01:10It's good to be back.
01:11Yeah, of course.
01:13So for Pepsters...
01:14We are bringing back Paolo because he is starring in a new project.
01:19Let's introduce it.
01:21It's called Spring in Prague.
01:23Can you tell us a little...
01:24A little bit more about Spring in Prague?
01:27Yeah, well, the title itself...
01:29It says a lot.
01:30But yeah, half of the film was shot in Puerto Galera and then the other half was...
01:34shot in Prague.
01:36But here in Spring in Prague, I play as Alfie.
01:39Isang resort owner sa Puerto Galera and then he receives a...
01:44an unexpected guest from the Czech Republic which is Marushka played...
01:49by Sarah Sendeva, isang international actress.
01:51She's a local actress in Prague, a very talented...
01:54actress.
01:55And yeah, there's gonna be a small accident.
01:57Kaya sila magkakakila.
01:59And they'll start getting to know each other.
02:04And yeah, the rest, the rest, I can't say too much about the film, but yeah, here...
02:09pictures.
02:10So you can see the chemistry's there and all.
02:13So love you.
02:14Yeah.
02:15In the air.
02:16So yeah, it's a story about love.
02:17It's a story about how...
02:19an interracial couple will tackle the challenges of...
02:24being in an interracial relationship.
02:26Kasi siya, siyempre, iba eh.
02:28Iba yung kultura.
02:29That's true.
02:30Iba yung beliefs ng Filipinos compared sa mga...
02:34ah...
02:35tagal checker public.
02:36So yeah, makikita natin dito ang paano nila i-tack.
02:39Yung challenges na dadaan sa kanila.
02:41Mm-hmm.
02:42Okay.
02:43Okay.
02:44Okay.
02:44Also, Paulo, you are very known for your daring roles.
02:47I mean, let's just...
02:49Let's just...
02:49put it out there.
02:50You're known for your daring roles, but this one is kind of...
02:53It's...
02:54It's soft.
02:54Right?
02:55It's more in the softer side.
02:57It's more...
02:58It's...
02:59It's...
02:59It's the most wholesome role I've done.
03:01Most wholesome role.
03:02You know, very little...
03:04Little to...
03:05Little to no skin at all.
03:06Ah...
03:07Kasi siyempre,
03:08yung mga tao,
03:09when they...
03:09see me on screen.
03:10It's like...
03:11Yeah.
03:12Diba?
03:13Alam na na yung mga...
03:14Yeah.
03:15I don't know how to...
03:16I don't know how to put it delicately.
03:17Basta yun na yun.
03:18It is what it is.
03:19Pero dito si Pred na to.
03:20It's a huge adjustment din for me.
03:23Kasi...
03:24Kasi siyempre...
03:25Like, yeah.
03:26Yung mga past projects na nagawa ko,
03:27they were very daring.
03:28Ah...
03:29They were mostly sexy.
03:31So, I guess one of the challenges of playing...
03:34this character is how to...
03:36You know, how to...
03:37How to look more like a lover boy.
03:39on screen.
03:40Because I was...
03:41I was used to...
03:42I was used to looking like a bad guy.
03:44Yeah.
03:45I was used to doing sexy scenes.
03:46You know, yung nang aakit ka.
03:48Pero dito...
03:49figure out kung paano magmukhang...
03:51Pa...
03:52Paano mas maging lovable.
03:53Or you know...
03:54Paano mas maging charming, I guess.
03:56Kasi yung character...
03:57The character Alfie is very charming.
03:59So, I had to figure that out...
04:01for myself.
04:02And yeah, thankfully...
04:03Ando naman yung director...
04:04Ando naman yung writer naman...
04:06Ah...
04:07Ah...
04:08Sa duration ng shoot.
04:09Ah...
04:09And everything went well.
04:10Ayun.
04:11Ganda ng mga...
04:12BTS natin dyan.
04:13That's true.
04:14The lover boy.
04:15The lover boy.
04:16Na lover boy.
04:17Totoo.
04:18Very wholesome, ah.
04:19Well, was it...
04:19an automatic yes on your part?
04:21Like, when you read it?
04:23How did you get the...
04:24Another rule, by the way.
04:25Can you...
04:26Oh yeah, it was...
04:27It was an automatic yes for me.
04:29Kasi...
04:29Ah...
04:30Producer, attorney Ferdinand Topacio is a good friend of mine.
04:33Ah...
04:34This is our...
04:34second film together.
04:35So...
04:36Bali...
04:37When we...
04:38The first film that we worked together on...
04:39Was...
04:40Ah...
04:41Was Mama Sapa, no?
04:42So...
04:43After that film...
04:44Nagkakilala kami, you know, we started talking more about films, cinema, movies...
04:49And...
04:50You know, we just...
04:51We just appreciated each other in terms of...
04:53You know...
04:54Mahal niya rin yung mahal ko.
04:55You know...
04:56He's passionate about producing films, quality films...
04:58And...
04:59And...
05:00Naramdaman niya rin na...
05:01Yung passion ko rin sa pag-arte, and dun din.
05:03So I guess we just kind of...
05:04Jive dun sa part na yun.
05:05Kaya...
05:06He gave me a call...
05:07You know...
05:08When they...
05:09When they wrote...
05:09The story...
05:10When they...
05:11When they were...
05:12Conceptualizing...
05:13He gave me a call...
05:14And asked me...
05:14If I was willing to do the role...
05:15And I was...
05:16It was a...
05:17100% yes right away.
05:18Hmm...
05:19What about it...
05:21Uh...
05:22Enticed you the most?
05:23What about the...
05:24Was it the...
05:24The character?
05:25Or...
05:26Was it the storyline itself?
05:27Or...
05:28What about that?
05:29At first...
05:29At first glance...
05:30It was the prog thing.
05:31At first glance...
05:32There's everything...
05:33Of course...
05:34Oh...
05:35So out of the country though...
05:36I've always...
05:37I've always...
05:38I've always dreamt...
05:39Of shooting a film abroad...
05:40But...
05:41At first glance...
05:42It was because...
05:43It was an out of the country...
05:44And...
05:45As I read the script...
05:48And as I read the...
05:49The story...
05:50Mas lalo akong...
05:51Mas lalo akong...
05:52Kumbaga...
05:53Mas lalo akong naging sigurado.
05:54You know...
05:55I was like this...
05:56He has...
05:57Has to go to me...
05:58Lung nabasa akong yung script...
05:59Has a...
06:00Such a...
06:01Wholesome story...
06:02Beautiful story...
06:03Uh...
06:04And yeah...
06:05And then the director also...
06:06Is a good friend of mine...
06:07So sabi ko...
06:08Kailangan akong gawin to...
06:09Mhmm...
06:10You also mentioned...
06:12Um...
06:13Cyrus Endeva...
06:14Your leading lady...
06:15In this project...
06:16Now...
06:17Um...
06:18There were news about...
06:19Cyrus Endeva...
06:19That she's a...
06:20Bigating artista...
06:21In...
06:22In Czech Republic...
06:23Did that ever...
06:24Um...
06:24Did it ever affect...
06:26How you guys...
06:27Work...
06:28Together...
06:29Were on set?
06:30Or did...
06:31Did you feel it?
06:32Uh...
06:33Well...
06:34Not necessarily...
06:34Kasi...
06:35Iba eh...
06:36Iba yung...
06:37Iba sa...
06:38Iba sa atin dito sa Pilipinas...
06:39Uh...
06:40It's very different...
06:41Uh...
06:42Kung paano...
06:43Mag-treat ng...
06:44Artista...
06:44Yung mga fans abroad...
06:45You know...
06:46Abroad...
06:47They really take...
06:48Space and boundaries seriously...
06:49You know...
06:50So...
06:51I guess...
06:52Medyo...
06:53Medyo contained naman yung shoot namin...
06:54We were mostly shooting in...
06:56In...
06:57In locations na wala masyadong tao...
06:58Pero whenever...
06:59Never na magkakaroon ng mga tao...
07:00You know...
07:01People would wave to her...
07:02People would...
07:03Smile...
07:04So...
07:05I guess hanggang dun...
07:06Pero may mga nagpapicture naman...
07:07Pero only if...
07:08Alam nila na parang...
07:09Hindi siya busy...
07:09So...
07:10Yeah...
07:11Very different...
07:12Kasi dito sa Pilipinas...
07:13Pag may makita ang artista agad...
07:14Lahat ng tao...
07:14Pupunta...
07:15That's true...
07:16Yeah...
07:17So...
07:18It's a lot different...
07:19In...
07:20Eastern...
07:19Europe...
07:20Yeah...
07:21But were you able to learn...
07:23Things...
07:24Like acting wise...
07:25Or...
07:26Anything...
07:27Like lessons from...
07:28Working with her...
07:29Well...
07:31Ha...
07:32Well...
07:33Siguro ano...
07:34Mas nakasa...
07:34Kasi...
07:35I...
07:36It was my...
07:37It was the first film...
07:38Na ginawa ko...
07:39English kami...
07:40So...
07:41Lahat ng matuhan namin...
07:42Sarah was full English...
07:43So...
07:44I had...
07:44Sana akong umarote ng Tagalog eh...
07:46Diba?
07:47There's a way of sounding cinematic...
07:49When speaking...
07:50In Tagalog...
07:51Pero I...
07:52I had to work my way around...
07:53You know...
07:54How to make this line sound nice...
07:56Or sound cinematic...
07:57In English...
07:58So I guess...
07:59I was able to get a grasp of...
08:03Uh...
08:04Of...
08:05Of how to do it in English...
08:06How to act in English...
08:07Kasi it's...
08:08It's very different eh...
08:09People...
08:09I think...
08:10Oh...
08:10You're just saying lines...
08:12Yeah...
08:12You need to sound as natural as possible...
08:14Pero you...
08:14You also had to...
08:15You have...
08:16You can't...
08:16You can't forget na...
08:17You're doing a film...
08:18So you need to find a way to...
08:19To make things sound more cinematic...
08:23And yun yung natutunan ko dito...
08:24Hmm...
08:25Were you familiar with Saira...
08:27Before this project?
08:28Uh...
08:29Have you...
08:29Seen some works of hers...
08:30Before?
08:31Uh...
08:32I can't say that I was...
08:34Familiar...
08:35Kasi...
08:35Ano eh...
08:36Very...
08:36Ano sila eh...
08:37Um...
08:37Yung industry nila...
08:38Uh...
08:39The movies they make...
08:39Are all in check...
08:41In their language...
08:42Yeah...
08:43So I guess hindi umaap...
08:44Umabot dito sa atin...
08:45Sa Pilipinas...
08:46Or sa...
08:47Sa...
08:48Hindi umabot na...
08:49Dito sa atin sa Asia...
08:50Pero...
08:51I'm sure...
08:52I mean I've seen some trailers of her film...
08:54When I found out that I was working...
08:56I was working with her...
08:57I saw some trailers...
08:58Uh...
08:59Of the project...
08:59Na ginawa niya...
09:00And then they were...
09:01They were great...
09:01Ang ganda nung production...
09:03Uh...
09:04The act...
09:04Actors were really good...
09:06You know...
09:06I actually saw her do this...
09:08Uh...
09:09When...
09:09What do you call this...
09:10Uh...
09:10Game of Thrones type of series...
09:12I...
09:12I saw her in...
09:13Yeah...
09:14Because I did...
09:14Some research...
09:15When I found out I was working with her...
09:17Yeah...
09:17So yeah...
09:18So yeah...
09:18So yeah...
09:18So yeah...
09:19Ako lang siguro nung time na yun...
09:21Kung paano...
09:22Paano yung atake niya...
09:23As an actress...
09:24Uh...
09:24And yeah...
09:25True enough...
09:26Nung pagdating sa set...
09:27The professionalism was there...
09:29Uh...
09:29She was always on time...
09:31You know...
09:31She knew her lines...
09:32She did not struggle once...
09:34I mean...
09:35She'd...
09:35She'd buckle sometimes...
09:36Siyempre the...
09:37Because of the language...
09:38Kasi she's...
09:39Uh...
09:39She's actually Macedonian...
09:41So English is her second...
09:42Or third language...
09:44So...
09:44Memorization wise...
09:47And then...
09:48You know...
09:49Um...
09:49Emotional continuity wise...
09:51Lahat...
09:51Pasok na pasok...
09:52Napaka-usay talaga...
09:53Hmm...
09:54Well...
09:56Spring in Prague...
09:58Is a romantic drama...
09:59Right?
09:59What would you say...
10:01Is the similarities...
10:02And differences...
10:03Of...
10:04Romantic...
10:04Romantic dramas...
10:05In...
10:06In that...
10:07In their country...
10:09In ours country...
10:09And...
10:10Philippine...
10:11Romantic dramas...
10:13Huh...
10:14Okay...
10:15Uh...
10:15I don't...
10:16Pinagkaiba...
10:17I think...
10:17I guess...
10:18They have a more subtle way...
10:19Of...
10:19Showing love...
10:21I...
10:21I don't wanna speak for everyone...
10:22I don't wanna speak for everyone...
10:24Pero...
10:24So...
10:24Here in the Philippines...
10:25I guess...
10:26Love is more about...
10:27It's more about...
10:28Grand gestures...
10:29You know...
10:29Uh...
10:31Nasanay tayo...
10:32Sa Pinas...
10:32Na syempre...
10:33Pagtungkol sa love...
10:34There's always this guy...
10:36You know...
10:37Playing the guitar...
10:38For the girl...
10:39And...
10:39For the girl...
10:39And...
10:40Making all these...
10:41Grand gestures...
10:42Pero...
10:42I guess...
10:43I guess...
10:43In their...
10:44Love...
10:44Love is more subtle...
10:46More subtle...
10:47But...
10:47It's there...
10:48You know...
10:48It doesn't mean...
10:49Uh...
10:49Just because it's not...
10:50Amped up...
10:51Ibig sabihin...
10:52Uh...
10:52It's not truthful...
10:54They have...
10:54They have their own...
10:55They have their own truth...
10:56Uh...
10:57They have their own truthful way of playing...
10:59Playing...
10:59Characters who are in love...
11:01Or...
11:01Portraying characters who are in love...
11:03Uh...
11:03Sa atin dito...
11:04Mas...
11:04Mas...
11:05I guess...
11:06Amped up yung acting natin dito...
11:08Or...
11:08Amped up yung writing natin dito...
11:09Sa Pilipinas...
11:10Amabigat no?
11:12Um...
11:12We're...
11:12We're fans of like...
11:14Heavy drum...
11:14Amas talaga...
11:15Lagi maiyakan...
11:18Lagi tayong maiyak...
11:18Ibang maiyak...
11:19It's not a movie without tears in the Philippines...
11:24Exactly...
11:25Exactly...
11:26Yeah...
11:26Well...
11:27Um...
11:27When it comes to...
11:29Uh...
11:30True thing...
11:31Spring in Prague there...
11:32Uh...
11:32Was...
11:33Was it very...
11:34What time were you there...
11:36In...
11:37Prague?
11:38Like...
11:38Was it...
11:38Spring...
11:39Oh...
11:39I'm really or...
11:40No...
11:41No...
11:41We...
11:41We had to make some adjustments...
11:44Which was really challenging...
11:46Of course...
11:46For the director also...
11:47We were there during the winter...
11:49So...
11:50The shooting conditions...
11:51Yung...
11:52Yung shooting conditions sa amin...
11:53We were shooting at...
11:54Uh...
11:55Minus 15...
11:57So...
11:57Oh my gosh...
11:58You could imagine that would...
11:59Way too cold...
12:00Oh...
12:01Way too cold...
12:01Way too cold...
12:02Uh...
12:02Actually...
12:03Yung mga cameras namin...
12:04Nag-inarte na rin eh...
12:05So...
12:06And kami din...
12:07And kami...
12:07Excuse me...
12:09Yung mga minag-inarte...

13:26Halit ulit yung take namin...
13:27Okay lang...
13:28Sige...

13:29Kung tayo naka-aircon eh...
13:30Mas malakas pa nga sa aircon eh...
13:32Oo...
13:33Okay...
13:34Well...
13:34Aside from...
13:36Like the weather...
13:36What do you think was...
13:38What do you think were the...
13:39Challenges...
13:40While you were shooting?
13:43Challenges...
13:43I get...
13:44I...
13:44Uh...
13:44Uh...
13:45Uh...
13:45Challenges were...
13:46Uh...
13:47Uh...
13:49Uh...
13:49Uh...
13:49Uh...
13:49Uh...
13:49Uh...
13:50Uh...
13:50Uh...
13:50Uh...
13:50Uh...
13:50Uh...
13:51Uh...
13:51Uh...
13:51Uh...
13:51Uh...
13:51Uh...
13:51Uh...
13:52Uh...
13:52Uh...
13:53Uh...
13:53Uh...
13:53Uh...
13:53Uh...
13:53Uh...
13:54Uh...
13:54Uh...
13:54Uh...
13:55Uh...
13:55Uh...
13:55Uh...
13:55Uh...
13:56Uh...
13:56Uh...
13:57Uh...
13:57Uh... Uh...
13:58yes the title is spring in Prague but we were shooting there during the winter so I guess they
14:03had to they had to uh improvise they had to improvise a lot you know they
14:08had to get creative kung paano nila gagawin yung mga shots paano nila gagawin masyado
14:13yung hindi mukhang winter I guess so may mga explain na kami actually na inuna na
14:18naming issue sa Pilipinas though sa mga daya ng
14:23Prague sa Pilipinas pero very little lang very very mga siguro
14:28mga two or three scenes lang yung dinaya nila
14:30hmm
14:33so I guess yung most of the challenges were um
14:38on the production side kasi sa actors naman kami hindi naman kami maarte kahit saan
14:43saan niyo naman kami tay basta alam namin yung guys namin alam namin yung motivations ng kaya
14:48characters namin di ba kahit talagay nyo kami sa pinakataas tuktok ng tower
14:53namin yan pero ang challenge paano paano gagawin ng director yun paano
14:58na ipuputok so I guess most of the
15:03challenge was on their side on their side
15:05i mean weather lang i mean weather lang talaga
15:08weather lang talaga and pretending it's not cold
15:11pretending it's not cold
15:13yeah well speaking of your character um what what's
15:18the name of your character again Alfonso Mucho Alfonso Mucho
15:23well how much of you is similar and different from Alfonso Mucho Alfonso
15:28on some Mucho
15:29ah I would I would say around uh
15:3360 40 I guess I guess I'm 60 percent different
15:38yeah ah ayoko na sabi ah di ko na sasabihin kung ano yung ano pero
15:43yun nasa sabi ko 60 40 60 40 kami andun yung ano andun yung lover boy ba
15:48ah ako I'm a lover okay I love my family I love
15:53my partner and then andun din naman andun din naman yung siyempre you wanna you wanna do grand
15:58gestures for the people you love
16:00pero differences lang din talaga Alfonso is
16:03a very responsible person you know he's uh he
16:08he left his life in Manila sold everything to to buy this resort because he believed in it
16:13you know very responsible person I can't say the same for myself so
16:18uh I spend my money on my pc setup and stuff you know
16:23well okay well no judgment there but we're gonna get
16:28to like more on the personal questions uh a little later but for now
16:33let's talk about um Om siguro about because you already mentioned that your
16:51and
16:38yourself, you're a lover boy, you're a partner.
16:43May quote dito eh, sabi mo, gustong gusto ma-inlove sa foreigner.
16:48Was that, was that always your type, like ever since?
16:53Oh, uh, for, well, I was, I know, I'm very into.
16:58I don't know, basic, base na lang natin sa mga nage-excess ko.
17:03Mostly my exes were, uh, laging may halo, laging half American.
17:08Mestizas!
17:10Mestizas, doon nagkaroon din naman ako ng Chinese ex.
17:13Uh, Chinese ex, pero more leaning into Mestizas, my girlfriend now.
17:18Is half Australian, so, pero, pero laking ano siya, laking Laguna siya.
17:22So, she speaks.
17:23He speaks fluent Tagalog, but when you look at her, it doesn't look like it.
17:26So, dun, yun yung unang nage-
17:28Ano siya, parang dun yung unang nakita, kasi she looks so foreign, you know, she would never, you,
17:33when you, when you look at her, you'd never think na, ay, nagtatagalog to.
17:36Pero nakita ko siya, bila siya nagtagalog.
17:38Mas malutong pa siya magmura sa akin.
17:39I was like, damn, that's the girl for me.
17:41Ha, ha, ha.
17:43Mas malutong.
17:44Okay, someone who curses.
17:46So, I think-
17:48That's also part of the 40% you have, um, similar to alpha.
17:53I mean, interracial, do you consider that an interracial-
17:58relationship?
17:59Yeah, I think so.
18:00Yeah, I guess.
18:01Yeah.
18:02Uh, though with my-
18:03My girlfriend, now it's, I can't say it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a full pledge.
18:08Interracial, uh, interracial relationship.
18:11Kasi, hindi siya lahat.
18:13Yeah, she still, she still grew up in the Philippines.
18:15So, she's still, she's still the, the Lagam Pili.
18:18She's still the Filipino family.
18:19Oh, okay.
18:20She still grew up in the Philippines and still grew up in the Philippines.
18:23upbringing. So, lumaki kasi siya
18:24sa mom's side niya, which is, you know,
18:26andun yung lola niya.
18:28Mga titos, titos, titos, titos niya.
18:30So, talagang Filipino
18:33family siya lumaki. Pero, yeah.
18:35Ayun. I can't really consider
18:37it as an...
18:38It's a racial relationship.
18:40Basically, I guess.
18:41Basically, yeah.
18:42Mukha siyang...
18:43You know, foreigner.
18:43Pero, no.
18:44Mas pinayipata sa akin, eh.
18:48So, wala...
18:49Like, culturally,
18:51hindi mo naman ramdam yung...
18:53Differences, no?
18:54That's the same name kayo, no?
18:56No. No difference naman.
18:57We're...
18:58We're very similar.
18:59Pagdating sa beliefs na happening.
19:01We're both...
19:01We're both Christians.
19:03Yeah.
19:03We believe in...
19:05In the same thing.
19:07Mm-hmm.
19:07And...
19:08Wala kami sa Filipino tradition.
19:10Diba?
19:10Alam mo yung magmukano ka.
19:12Mm-hmm.
19:12Ah...
19:13Nung time na naniligaw ako sa kanya,
19:15syempre, pupunta sa bahay.
19:16Anong...
19:17What do you call?
19:18Mamamanhikan ba yung tawag sa ganyan?
19:20Mamamanhikan.
19:21You gotta ask for her...
19:23Lola's...
19:23Lola's and Mamamanh's blessings first
19:25before...
19:26Before you make a move.
19:27Yeah.
19:27So I...
19:28I did that.
19:29And which I...
19:30Very Pinoy.
19:32Very Pinoy.
19:33Very Pinoy.
19:34Very Pinoy.
19:34And I believe in that.
19:35You know, I believe na
19:36bago ka maligaw na isang baba.
19:38Kailangan humingi ka muna ng blessing sa family.
19:43Kasi, siyempre,
19:44pinaginigawan ka.
19:46You know,
19:46it's not just her.
19:47You're...
19:48You're getting into a family.
19:51You know,
19:51you're entering this...
19:53This family circle.
19:55Kasi, siyempre,
19:56ano ba ang...
19:57Ano ba ang...
19:58Reason kung bakit maligaw niyong tao
20:00is for you...
20:00For her to be your girlfriend
20:01and for her to be your...
20:03Wife in the near future
20:04or in the distant future.
20:06Diba?
20:06So family...
20:07Family should...
20:08always be in...
20:09Number one first
20:10before ka gumawa ng moves.
20:13Lover boy na lover boy, ah.
20:18Boy, I'll take you to the side, bro.
20:20Wait po.
20:21Kahit na ano, Paulo.
20:22Kahit na gen...
20:23Zika.
20:23You don't...
20:24You don't really subscribe
20:26to situationships.
20:28You prefer yung talagang
20:29the legal stage
20:30with the end goal of...
20:33Being in a relationship.
20:34Yeah, the whole situationship
20:36is that...
20:36Sorry, if I could...
20:37If I...
20:38I could swear,
20:38I'd swear right now,
20:39but...
20:40It's...
20:40It's...
20:41It's...
20:42Bull crap.
20:43I don't believe in that.
20:46I don't believe in that.
20:47You don't believe in it.
20:48If you like the person,
20:49then why would you be
20:50in a relationship?
20:51That's crazy.
20:52It's a yes or no.
20:53It's a yes or no thing for you.
20:54It's a yes or no thing.
20:55Do you like me?
20:56Oh, you want me.
20:57Do you like me?
20:58Yeah.
20:58Do you like me?
20:58Oh, eh, di tayo.
20:58Mga ganon.
20:59Ligawan talaga.
21:01Meron parang itong situationship.
21:02Anak!
21:03I'm not trying to step on anyone's...
21:04You know,
21:05I mean, you guys do you.
21:06This is just my...
21:08Opinion on situationships.
21:10Pero ako lang sa akin.
21:11I've never been in a...
21:13I've never been in a situationship.
21:15I've never been in an...
21:17What do you call it?
21:17MU.
21:18Mutual relationship.
21:19Ito ka ba?
21:20Mutual understanding.
21:21Mutual understanding.
21:22Yeah, yeah.
21:23So as always,
21:23gusto kita.
21:24Liligawan kita.
21:25Tapos sasagutin ako.
21:26After ko manligaw.
21:28After a few months
21:29ng panliligaw.
21:31Mm.
21:31Tapos kung gusto mo...
21:33Tapos ayaw sa'yo.
21:34Wala.
21:35Move on ka.
21:35Hindi kimin pala.
21:36Yeah.
21:37Yeah.
21:37Or...
21:38If you really like her,
21:41that was...
21:42She rejected...
21:43You can try.
21:44You can still,
21:44you know,
21:45try without being...
21:46You know,
21:46without being a creep.
21:47Yeah.
21:48You can still try.
21:49You know,
21:49parang try to win her heart.
21:51Pero kung talagang ayaw sa'yo,
21:52sinabi ko...
21:53hindi talaga kita gusto,
21:55get out of my face,
21:56then I think you should
21:57get out of her face.
21:58Okay.
21:59But, Paolo,
22:00be honest.
22:00Have you ever been rejected?
22:03Yeah.
22:04Yes.
22:04I have been.
22:05Yes.
22:06Many times.
22:06Many times.
22:07Okay.
22:08How do you take it?
22:11How do I take it?
22:12Not...
22:13Not too well,
22:13I think.
22:15Okay.
22:16Anubha...
22:18I guess...
22:20How?
22:21Parang anula ako.
22:22Parang I guess...
22:23If I was rejected,
22:25okay lang.
22:25Andun din naman yung side na,
22:27you know,
22:27it's fine.
22:28Because, you know,
22:28you haven't really
22:29invested much yet
22:30from
22:31this channel.
22:33Pero,
22:34ang pinakamasakit siguro
22:35sa rejection
22:36is yung
22:37kayo na.
22:38Tapos,
22:38bigla niya sabihin na
22:39ayaw niya na sa'yo.
22:40Yun siguro yung
22:41pinakamasakit na rejection.
22:43That one hits harder
22:44because if you're just...
22:45If you're just,
22:45you know,
22:46if you're only...
22:47You're just...
22:48Just shooting your shot.
22:49Yeah,
22:50if she rejects you,
22:51then...
22:52Ano lang yun eh?
22:52Parang...
22:53Wala ka pa naman in-invest.
22:54Ang na-invest mo lang naman,
22:55laway eh.
22:56You just said hi.
22:57Parang okay.
22:58Nice to meet you.
23:00Take care.
23:01Wish you all the best.
23:04Okay.
23:05Well, since malapit na
23:06ang Valentine's Day,

23:13Ang...
23:13Since malapit na yung
23:14Valentine's Day,
23:15ang maa-advice ko
23:16sa lahat na mga
23:16nasa situationships,
23:18is manood ng Spring and Prague
23:19this February 4.
23:21Saktong-saktong yan, guys.
23:22Valentine's Day.
23:23It's the month of love.
23:25You know,
23:25Spring and Prague
23:26is a movie about love.
23:28It's a movie about relationships.
23:30So maybe you guys
23:30can learn a thing or two
23:32from this movie.
23:33You know,
23:34para makaalas na kayo dyan
23:35sa purgatory
23:37ng...
23:38Situationships.
23:39Diba?
23:39Baka maintindihan nyo
23:40si Alfonso
23:41tsaka si Marushka.
23:43Diba?
23:44That's true.
23:45Well,
23:46for you,
23:47would you recommend...
23:48interracial relationships
23:49and what do you think
23:50are the pros and cons?
23:53I...
23:53Yes,
23:54I guess I would...
23:55I would recommend it
23:56because I think there's...
23:58nothing more beautiful
23:59than two people
24:00from...
24:02There's nothing...
24:03more beautiful
24:03than two people
24:04from other sides
24:06of the world
24:06coming together.
24:08Yeah.
24:08loving each other
24:08and accepting each other
24:10for who they are
24:11regardless of culture,
24:12regardless of...
24:13of religion.
24:15I think there's nothing
24:16more beautiful than that
24:17and it can really...
24:18open your mind up.
24:20You know,
24:21learning more...
24:23about another culture
24:24I think it actually
24:24makes you more aware
24:26of how the world works.
24:28you know,
24:28I think it really helps
24:30with your intelligence.
24:32Yeah.
24:33if you're having a hard time
24:35also speaking English
24:36then maybe you can
24:36help your English too.
24:38I think it's a good thing
24:39I think it's a good thing
24:40that we're in love
24:42with our people.
24:43foreigners, especially in Shergao, we have lots of hours.
24:48That's cool, that's cool.
24:53They're moving up in life, they're starting to learn more.
24:58They're starting to see more, they're starting to see more.
25:03They're learning more about life.
25:05Yeah, I would recommend it.
25:08Okay, perfect.
25:10So just before we proceed with the pep chat…
25:13Just a final Valentine's Day question.

35:26financial
35:27financial

35:42a lot to do.
35:43There are still
35:44many roles
35:45that I'm still
35:45going to do.

35:53I'm focused
35:53on learning.

36:09you know,
36:09financial security,
36:10everything,
36:11businesses.

36:46yeah and i i uh i believe uh i believe we have us
36:51as filipino filmmakers we have a lot to learn about the industry
36:56in international projects and yeah you know action action movies and
37:01action teleseries are becoming a thing now so i guess you know if someone
37:06could you know pull off like bringing over equipments from abroad
37:11mga harness harness but why not
37:15it's so good but so you
37:16you've you've thought about it like long term wise like or in the long run you you've
37:21thought of yourself as a producer net and producer the uh
37:26director uh and writing yeah i i i love builds you know i love cinema
37:31i've i've i've i've been watching film since i was a kid so never shinawala
37:36uh yeah i'm doing acting right now and this is something i want to focus on for now but in the
37:41near future you know if given the chance to direct or to write a film that would
37:46be great you know be great you know if you're down yeah yeah i'm down now i'm always
37:51down yeah okay well in terms of like property
37:56uh are you keen on investing in on those and if
38:01you
38:01invest in properties where would it be if i was uh to invest on
38:06properties i'd invest here it's a fairview man as i'm from fairview
38:11yeah and uh development is uh northbound now you know recently
38:16at the mrt uh get tinatayo yung mr all the way to bulacan so
38:21that means the development of city is going northwards so yeah
38:26i would i would invest in fairview right now uh specifically dito sa village namin
38:31um so bilis like uh in the past the past 10 years
38:36years uh to mass you property uh to massing properties dito from

38:55from
38:57from
38:59from
39:01from
39:03from
39:05from
39:06from
39:06the pay is there the pay is there the pay is there yeah you think about it a bit
39:10but you know
39:11if someone offers me if someone offers me a film and this this has happened before someone
39:16offer if someone offers me to offer me to fake news if someone offers me it maids
39:21So so binary
39:22if someone offers me a film and their budget is so-so
39:23so
39:44Yeah, if it's a good project, if it's a project I believe in,
39:49if it's a project na alam kong magagawa ko na maayos, I will do it.
39:54Part of investing is also investing for your future.
39:59Like building, starting a family, is marriage.
40:04Like in the near future or?
40:08Oh, marriage.
40:09Siguro ano, I'm 27, so siguro mga ano, I'll get married around...
40:14I guess, 32, 5 years from now.
40:18Okay.
40:19So yun yung parang ideal age mo for marriage.
40:2532 years old.
40:2632.
40:27Dapat 30.
40:28Dapat 30 talaga yung...
40:29Pero ano eh, parang sabi ko, what?
40:3333 years to go?
40:34I can't...
40:34I'm not ready, you know?
40:37It's so close.
40:39I know.
40:39So I need more time.
40:44I need more time to improve myself, not only as an actor.
40:49Pero also as a father.
40:51Ah, father tuloy, bagay na puntang father.
40:53O yan.
40:54Marriage.
40:54Sabi ko, Paulo, ah.
40:57Hindi, siyempre, doon doon naman pupunta.
40:58Doon doon naman pupunta.
40:59That's true.
40:59I have to improve myself as a person, as a partner, as a son.
41:05And a future father.
41:06Yeah.
41:07Hmm.
41:08Oh, that's really...
41:09Now let's talk about you moving to the U.S. for a month.
41:14It was not permanent, right?
41:16Or it's not permanent.
41:17No, no.
41:18No, it's not.
41:19I'm not interested.
41:19What's the primary...
41:24primary goal for moving there?
41:26Was it for more...
41:28Like, what's the goal?
41:29What's the goal?
41:29I...
41:30I wanna...
41:32I don't know.
41:32I guess...
41:34I...
41:34I spoke to my dad about it.
41:35I was like, you know, parang I've been acting here in the Philippines for...
41:3912 years.
41:41And I think...
41:42Parang...
41:43Gusto ko lang muna, ano.
41:44I guess...
41:44I don't wanna say toxic, but, you know, it takes a toll on you, being in the...
41:49industry.
41:50You know, not everyone can handle it the way that other actors and celebrities...
41:54handle it.
41:55I guess I have a...
41:57I have a more sensitive mind.
41:59I just wanna, you know, chill muna for five months.
42:04Explore the U.S.
42:07Eh, ano eh?
42:08I've heard also about...
42:09acting schools in California, in L.A.
42:12So, I plan on canvassing...
42:14Then, mga acting schools, uh, baka pwede ako mag-enroll.
42:17Uh, I'm...
42:18I'm allowed to, uh, get a student...
42:19visa also, uh, some acting schools, and help, help with that.
42:24Parang...
42:24student visa, and maybe, you know, in the near future, maybe I can go to school for acting
42:29there.
42:29So, I could bring it, uh, I can bring what I learned here in the Philippines.
42:34Mm-hmm.
42:37But, yeah...
42:37You talked about...
42:38But, yeah...
42:39Yeah, ultimately, it's...
42:41I just, uh, also wanna spend time with my brother, cause my brother...
42:44My brother works there now.
42:46Uh, he's, uh, he's...
42:47Sacramento, which is a six-hour...
42:49So, uh, yeah, more bonding with my brother, and...
42:54And, uh, just, you know, parang take time off muna.
42:58Kasi, ba, eh, uh...
42:59Being, uh, I don't, I don't wanna sound, you know, ungrateful.
43:04I am very grateful of all the projects na nabigay sa akin.
43:07I am very grateful na...
43:09I ginao ng chance to be an actor here in the Philippines.
43:12But, you know, it's...
43:13It's tough.
43:14It's tough.
43:15It's tough to be an actor here.
43:16There's a lot of competition.
43:17There's a lot of stress.
43:18You know, a lot of...
43:19Negativity from people, from the audience, from the fans.
43:23So, parang ano lang...
43:24Siguro, uh, yeah, just...
43:27Unwind muna.
43:29Explore.
43:30Mm.
43:31And, you know what?
43:32Perfect that you already brought that up.
43:34Like you, like you said, not everyone can survive showbiz.
43:39I mean, it really...
43:39It really does take a toll on you.
43:41Um...
43:42Yep.
43:42Emotionally, mentally.
43:43Um...
43:44So, I guess what I wanted to ask was, do you feel...
43:49Um...
43:50Beauty standards in the industry are...
43:53Like contribute...
43:54Do you think to that?
43:56Uh...
43:57I guess, yeah.
43:59I mean, beauty standards are changing every once in a while, no?
44:03Uh...
44:04And...
44:04I guess, hindi lang namang beauty standards, eh.
44:07So, it's all about, um...
44:09You know, now I notice it's a lot...
44:11It's more about social media following now.
44:13I...
44:14That's what I notice with...
44:16Which is...
44:17It's not just the Philippines.
44:19You know, it's like that all over the world.
44:22I...
44:22I...
44:22I...
44:23I saw...
44:24I saw...
44:24I saw an article about Ethan Hawke talking about it in Hollywood.
44:29You know, uh...
44:31Whenever they...
44:31They would, uh...
44:32Suggest an actor or an actor.
44:34That is...
44:35The producer...
44:36They consider the following...
44:38They consider the following...
44:39You know?
44:40Yeah.
44:41Yeah.
44:41Yeah.
44:41Yeah.
44:42Yeah.
44:42Yeah.
44:42I've read that too.
44:44Actually, all I know, does that bother you?
44:47Like, how many followers you have?
44:49No, I mean, me, internally, it doesn't bother me that I only have a hundred thousand.
44:54Thousand followers compared to other actors with millions.
44:58It does not bother me.
44:59But, you know, what...
44:59What bothers me, I guess, is, you know, the...
45:02The fear.
45:03The fear of not...
45:04Getting the job just because I didn't have followers.
45:08Siguro...
45:09But I never thought about it in a negative way.
45:12It's just the way the world is right now.
45:14You know, social media is the king.
45:17Social media is everything.
45:19You know?
45:19You can make...
45:19You can make a lot of money on social media.
45:22But, yeah.
45:24It's...
45:24Go to just the fear.
45:25There's just fear, Furby.
45:27No.
45:28No, they would prioritize that.
45:29Over your, like, work resume.
45:33I guess.
45:34I guess.
45:34Yeah.
45:35But I also don't want to be too...
45:37Too, you know, like...
45:39I don't want to...
45:39I don't want to lean on my work resume too much.
45:42I usually...
45:42I'd rather lean on, you know...
45:44What I'm able to give right now.
45:47Or, you know, what I'm capable of giving...
45:49Giving the character right now.
45:52I lean towards that more.
45:53I think...
45:54That's...
45:55Well, also...
45:56Why I mentioned...
45:59The beauty standards is because...
46:01Filipino audiences tend to be very...
46:04Very nitpicky about how...
46:07How a celebrity looks.
46:09And that's why...
46:09And acts.
46:11And acts.
46:12And acts.
46:13And...
46:13Kasi naka-open cellulat.
46:14So, mga...
46:15Ganyan.
46:16Well, anyway.
46:17In your case.
46:18You went viral...
46:19Recently...
46:20For a...
46:21Un-doubt-bod moment.
46:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:26It's gone now, by the way.
46:28And then you lost weight.
46:29Can you walk us through that?
46:33Or can you take us back to that?
46:34Un-doubt-bod moment.
46:35Yeah, I guess...
46:35What happened?
46:38During the holidays...
46:39We...
46:39My family and I...
46:41We spent the holidays in Taiwan.
46:43Uh...
46:44We went home.
46:46So, sabi ko sa lili ko...
46:47I'll eat...
46:47I'll eat everything I wanna eat.
46:49Diba?
46:49Hindi ako mag-teat.
46:50Hindi ko sa sarili ko.
46:51So, lumami ko na lumamo.
46:53Na ate so much food.
46:54So...
46:54I just got real big.
46:59I got fat.
46:59And...
47:00Nung pagbalik ko dito sa Pilipinas
47:01noong January 5,
47:03I was like,
47:03Damn, this is not...
47:04I made a video about it.
47:07And...
47:08Sorry.
47:09I made a video about it.
47:11And I was like...
47:12Grabe!
47:13Grabe yung reception ng tao.
47:14Actually, yung dami na nag-comment there.
47:16A lot of people...
47:16A lot of people like the dad bod, actually.
47:19Yeah, it's an aesthetic.
47:22I mean, the dad bod.
47:23No!
47:24Which is surprising to me.
47:27Which is surprising to me.
47:28Kasi sanay ako na...
47:29Mga comments ng tao.
47:31Grabe!
47:32Abis si Paolo.
47:33Ganyan, ganyan, ganyan.
47:34So...
47:34I was actually expecting...
47:38When I posted a video...
47:39I was expecting like...
47:41Hate comments and stuff.
47:42Na parang grabe.
47:43Wala siyang dinito.
47:44Ganyan.
47:44I just expected all of these comments.
47:47Yeah.
47:47Which is...
47:47And then weird...
47:48Weirdly enough...
47:49There were no hate comments.
47:52You know?
47:52Everyone was like...
47:54Mas masarap.
47:54Sabi ko nga, Paolo, eh.
47:55Ganyan, ganyan.
47:56What?
47:56Sabi ko talaga.
47:58Should I stay this way?
47:59Sabi ko, should I...
47:59Stay this way?
48:01Yeah.
48:02But yeah.
48:02Eventually I lost it.
48:04Why did you lose it?
48:06Did you not embrace your dad bod?
48:09No.
48:09I play basketball.
48:12So I need to be light.
48:14Okay.
48:14It's hard on my knees.
48:17Lalo na ngayon, syempre.
48:19I'm not...
48:1919 anymore.
48:20Yeah.
48:21I'm 27, but I'm not 19 anymore.
48:24You know?
48:24So my knee takes up more damage compared to before.
48:28So I have to be in shape.
48:29I want to do this stuff I want to do.
48:31And you know, to stay active.
48:34Yeah.
48:34Yeah.
48:34Also, it's part of your healthy routine.
48:37So you can't help it if you lose weight in the process.
48:39Yeah.
48:39Sorry guys.
48:43Sorry pepsters.
48:44Wala na po ang...
48:44Do you think magbabalik ang dad bod anytime?
48:49Siguro pagdadi nataligamo.
48:51Pagdadi nataligamo.
48:54Pagdadi nataligamo.
48:56Okay.
48:57Ngayon naman.
48:58Um...
48:59More about your career.
49:02Like we said earlier.
49:04How we intro'd this whole live.
49:08Parang you're not...
49:09Known for daring roles.
49:11Would you like keep it that way or is there...
49:14Any other thing you would like to be more known for?
49:19Oh, okay.
49:20Uh...
49:20I guess...
49:22The daring roles I've done before.
49:24There were projects that I believed in.
49:27Yes.
49:28But siyempre...
49:29And it was for me...
49:30It was a stepping stone.
49:32You know?
49:32Uh...
49:33Uh...
49:34I didn't have much connections when I started in Showbiz.
49:38Okay.
49:39I did not...
49:39I did not have...
49:41You know?
49:42I didn't...
49:43I wouldn't...
49:43Uh...
49:44I think roles weren't handed to me on a silver plaque.
49:48You know?
49:48I had to work my...
49:49I worked my way up.
49:49I started as a talent.
49:50As an extra.
49:51Yeah.
49:52I worked my way up.
49:53So...
49:54I did these projects as a stepping stone.
49:58Yeah.
49:59You know?
49:59Because siyempre...
50:00Ang hirap...
50:01As a newcomer actor...
50:02Wala naman magbibigay sa'yo ng...
50:04BIDA na role agad eh.
50:05Sa isang...
50:06You know?
50:07You have to prove yourself somewhere else first.
50:09So...
50:10Uh...
50:11They were stepping stones for me.
50:13And...
50:14I...
50:14Uh...
50:14Ano lang?
50:15Medyo...
50:15Medyo na dumikit lang.
50:18Yeah.
50:18Dumikit lang.
50:19Dumikit lang.
50:19Image sa'kin na sexy.
50:21But yeah.
50:21It's fine.
50:22It's fine.
50:23It's fine.
50:24It's fine.
50:24Yeah.
50:24Well...
50:25Uh...
50:26Dumikit lang sa'kin.
50:27And...
50:27Uh...
50:28We're trying to...
50:29To transition now.
50:30You know?
50:31But I think it's always gonna be there.
50:34It's...
50:34It's always gonna be Paulo, the sexy actor.
50:38But you know...
50:39Hopefully...
50:40Hopefully...
50:41Uh...
50:41In the near future...
50:42I could...
50:42I could...
50:43Uh...
50:43I could change everyone.
50:44Uh...
50:44Minds to uh...
50:45To uh...
50:46Paulo, the sexy, dramatic actor.
50:49Oh.
50:49That sounds...
50:50That's a better...
50:51The sexy, dramatic actor.
50:54Oh.
50:54That's...
50:55Yeah.
50:55Okay.
50:56So that's...
50:57That's what you're...
50:58Um...
50:59That's what you want to be known for.
51:01Yeah.
51:01Hopefully.
51:01Yeah.
51:02I think you'll get there.
51:03I'll get...
51:03You'll get there.
51:04To...
51:05I mean...
51:05Hopefully.
51:05Hopefully.
51:06Yeah.
51:06Yeah.
51:06I'll be...
51:07I'll work...
51:07I'll work hard for it.
51:09Yes.
51:10And good luck to you.
51:14Finally, uh...
51:15You once said about frontal nudity.
51:19One time is okay.
51:21Was that boundary about protecting your artists?
51:24Your history, your mental health, or controlling how your body is commodified?
51:29I guess controlling how my body is commodified in the industry.
51:34I guess it was more of that.
51:37Uh...
51:37Uh...
51:38And...
51:39Yeah.
51:39I always ask if I was willing to do another frontal nudity.
51:43Uh...
51:44But...
51:45Yeah.
51:47I always...
51:47I always say I'm not closing my...
51:49I always say I'm not closing my doors, but it has...
51:50Come on.
51:51Like, I've done it once, and it's already surfacing.
51:54on the internet, which is fine by me.
51:56You know, which is fine by me.
51:57Okay.
51:57You know what I mean?
51:58You know what I mean?
51:58You know what I mean?
51:59Uh...
51:59But yeah, I think it's gonna take a different kind of project for me to do it again.
52:03Yeah.
52:04And if it's really relevant to the scene, talaga, hindi yung para lang...
52:09Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
