00:04Ito pang nakakatuwa, Smokey, noong mga nakaraang, when was this, when you went public with your child, with Kiko, with
00:13your son, there was this online debate about your age.
00:17Kasi, kung naalala ko, it started with like you were 40-something, 42.
00:2240-something lang, 42.
00:24Pero ikaw talaga ang lumabas at iklinaro mo. Mahilig ka talaga magklaro ng balita, no?
00:29Kasi, baka, ang totoo na yan, nagkaroon talaga ako ng anak when I was 51.
00:35Wow!
00:38Tapos, napakasay ang parte ng buhay ko yun. Tapos, parang ayoko na mag-itago yun.
00:43At, kumbaga, naisip ko rin na, para hindi mawalan ng pag-asa yung ibang mga kaedad ko, na pwede pa
00:51rin.
00:51Pwede ka pa rin magkaroon ng anak at your age na gana.
00:54Smokey, was that deliberate? Sadya ba yun?
00:57It was a welcomed accident.
01:01Oh, okay. Pero earlier, you've always wanted to have a child.
01:06I've always wanted to have a kid, Kuya Boy.
01:08Kasi lang, ang problema, I haven't found the perfect partner to have a kid with.
01:12And now, I'm very happy, very satisfied that the person I'm with right now,
01:17I can truly say is my soulmate.
01:22Mabilisan lamang ito because I caught that interview you had with Corina Sanchez, kaibigang Kuring.
01:26And you mentioned about the condition of Kiko.
01:30Yeah.
01:31How is a boy?
01:32My son is diagnosed with autism.
01:37Ano yung spectrum? Okay.
01:39He's in the spectrum.
01:40And it's tough, pero every milestone.
01:47Alam mo, napapansin ko nga na ibang tao, they take for granted yung maliliit na bagay na nagagawa ng anak.
01:52Pero for a parent who has a kid, who's under the spectrum, the small things means a lot.
01:59Kanyari, natuto siyang mag-sign language.
02:02Nasa sign language siyang buong alphabet.
02:04It's a big deal sa amin.
02:06Tapos, it's very emotional for me to talk about it.
02:11Pero I really, really love my kid kahit na ano pa siya.
02:16Ay, oo.
02:16Thank you for saying that.
02:18Naitanong ko lamang because maraming mga magulang ang nagmamasil sa pag-uusap na ito.
02:22Going through the same experience.
02:24I don't even call it a challenge.
02:26Because my friend was saying, my daughter is also in the spectrum.
02:30And boy, believe me, it's a blessing.
02:31It is.
02:32Sabi ko paano.
02:33Alam mo ang sagot niya?
02:34I have become a better person.
02:35And not only that, you truly appreciate the little things na nagagawa ng anak mo.
02:42Sa iba, ang liit na bagay na yun.
02:44Pero sa iyo, parang napakalaking bagay na yun para sa iyo.
02:52Sa iba, ang liit na bagay na yun.
03:23So Iy!
03:26So Iy!
03:40So Iy!
