00:00The Mistress or Crying Ladies?
00:03Hello Soldier or Santiago?
00:07May nila sa mga koko ng liwanag o in siyang?
00:23Lalariin natin ang game na This or That.
00:32Okay, explain lang po yung mechanics.
00:34Simpli lang naman, Ms. Yelda, para ma-enjoy lang natin itong ating conversation.
00:40We've come up with a list of some of your best films.
00:44So, I will start by giving you two choices.
00:48And then, pipili ka lang ng isa.
00:50And then, I will match that with another film of yours.
00:54Pipili ka uli ng isa hanggang sa matapos yung nasa list.
00:58O sige, subukan natin.
00:59Let's do it.
01:01Okay, let's start.
01:02Sige.
01:03First two choices.
01:05Working girls or babangon ako at dudurugin kita?
01:08How hard? Babangon ako at dudurugin kita?
01:10Babangon ako at dudurugin kita o kung mangarap ka't magising?
01:15Kung mangarap ka't magising.
01:16Kung mangarap ka't magising or gaano kadalas ang minsan?
01:21Gaano kadalas ang minsan?
01:23Gaano kadalas ang minsan o tinimbang ka ngunit kulang?
01:27Gaano kadalas ang minsan?
01:28Gaano kadalas ang minsan or the mistress?
01:31The mistress.
01:32The mistress or crying ladies?
01:35Ah, crying ladies na lang. Sige.
01:38Crying ladies or hello soldier?
01:42Hello soldier.
01:43Hello soldier or Santiago?
01:48Hmm, Santiago.
01:49Santiago or Maynila sa mga koko ng liwanag?
01:53Maynila.
01:53Maynila sa mga koko ng liwanag o Inxiang?
01:57Inxiang.
02:00Inxiang or Sisa?
02:02Sisa ngayon.
02:05Oh gosh, ayan.
02:07So, nahulaan nyo ba yung mga pipiliin ni Silda?
02:11Sisa ngayon nag-yes ka sa crying ladies.
02:12Oo, kasi parang nagpupatalagaan.
02:14Kasi parang nagpupatalagaan.
02:14Kasi parang nyo sabihin nun gusto ko pareho so mahirap pumiliin, right?
02:19Pero, unforgettable lahat ng mga peliko lang yan.
02:22Yeah.
02:23That's true.
02:23Kasi mahirap pumiliin.
02:25Crying ladies is the first film I think I've seen.
02:30So, you know, I mean, comedy yun so it was fun to make.
02:34It was so good.
02:35No, Miss Silda, syempre, we missed you on screen for more than a decade.
02:40Was there any fear or worry like for your showbiz comeback now?
02:46Not at all.
02:47Not at all.
02:48Not.
02:48So, inisip nyo po talaga na possible ito na magbalik showbiz po kayo even after a long time you were
02:55abroad?
02:57Well, kayta sa abroad kasi ako, I have offers every year.
03:00But, syempre, I'm always waiting for the right script.
03:03Like when I went home for the mistress and then now for Sisa.
03:06So, just the right script yun na inaantay ko.
03:08And what made you say yes when Sisa was finally offered to you?
03:13Well, they really presented it well.
03:15My director, June Lana, together with my producer, Percy and Elmer,
03:21they had a presentation that was excellent.
03:24So, after na-present nila to via Zoom na nasa L.A. ako,
03:28I just told Direc June na,
03:30sige Direc, it's great, now give me a great script.
03:33And he did.
03:34First time nyo po to work with Direc June.
03:37Yes.
03:38Kamusta po yung experience, Miss Hilda?
03:40It's nice.
03:40I love working with Direc June.
03:43Okay.
03:43Miss Hilda, you've been away for more than a decade.
03:46No?
03:46But you've been in the industry for more than 50 years.
03:5156.
03:52Since I was 12 years old.
03:53Right.
03:54Since you were 12.
03:55So, sa inyo po,
03:56ano yung pakaramdam nyo na yung feeling nyo na biggest contribution nyo sa Philippine industry?
04:05I think it's my body of work more than anything else.
04:08Yeah, yun yun ang aking contribution.
04:10And hopefully na-enjoy nyo yung mga contribution ko na yan.
04:14Especially po naalala ko in Shamb.
04:16Kasi as a mask-com student.
04:18Yan talaga ang mga pinapapanood siya.
04:20Hanggang ngayon pinag-aaralan yan.
04:21Even my granddaughter or my fans sa GNC.
04:24Maka ni-kwento nila sa akin pinag-aaralan nila yan.
04:28Ano po yung pakaramdam na niya, Miss Hilda?
04:30Kasi those have been done years back.
04:33But still, they're still very relevant until now.
04:35Yeah, yun ang importante naman sa mga pelikula na ginagawa ko as much as possible.
04:40Hindi lang siya entertaining.
04:41Because we like to watch films to escape, you know.
04:44And Sisa is something like that.
04:46It's a filler.
04:46But by the same token, gusto namin makapag-isip kayo.
04:50Pag-isipan nyo itong pelikula na ito.
04:52Kung ano, issues dito.
04:54Relevant pa ba ito since yung mga old films ko, yung mga topics noon.
04:59Relevant pa rin until now.
05:00And Sisa is something like that.
05:02Yes, you entertain and you educate.
05:04And you educate.
05:05And you know, you think.
05:07Mag-isip ka like, oo nga, ganito, ganito.
05:10Has to be that.
05:12And pinag-uusapan po natin kanina even off-cam with Miss Hilda
05:16na yung Sisa.
05:18Paano po yung research na ginawa ni Direk?
05:22Yeah, ni-research niya ito talaga, I think, for about seven years.
05:25Talagang pinag-aralan niya yung mga nangyayari.
05:28Na tunay na nangyayari na hindi natin napag-aaralan sa eskwela,
05:31sa ating Philippine history, na hinimay-himay niya talaga.
05:35Gusto niyang ipakita na hindi lang puro mga treaties or mga infrastructure
05:40o yung mga magaganda lang na bagay na gawa
05:42o yung mga inooffer ng mga oppressors natin.
05:46But talagang gusto niyang ipakita kung anong gano'ng kahirap
05:49ang pinagdaan ng Pilipinas noong Philippine-American War na yun.
05:53So ipapakita po namin yung po ang backdrop ng aming storya ni Sisa.
05:57So yun, marami kayong matututunan dito.
