00:30Exciting po ang ating hapon because magaganap po ang kanilang first interview together.
00:37I'm talking about mother and daughter.
00:40Sino kaya ang mas balingkinitan at mas maganda?
00:45Malalaman po natin yan. One of our favorites.
00:48Naytay Kapuso, please welcome Cheryl Cruz, Nicole Sonora.
00:56Walang kupas.
00:57Hello, Nicole. Please welcome to the program.
01:03Kumusta? Kumusta kayong dalaman?
01:06Thank you for honoring us with your first interview together.
01:12We should be thanking you po.
01:14Maraming maraming salamat.
01:16Kuya boy, I'm so excited because finally I get to introduce to you my sister.
01:20You know, I was about to say that.
01:24Na-unahan mo lamang ako.
01:26Di ba? Ageless.
01:29Ageless.
01:30How old are you now?
01:31I'm 24 na po.
01:32I am hungry.
01:33I'm hungry.
01:34You're 24, I'm hungry.
01:37Kumusta yun yung relasyon?
01:38I'd say po, she's parang my protector but also my peer.
01:44Minsan po, pero mostly pag nagchichikahan po kami, gossip po.
01:50Pag yun sa school ko, about boys, sa kanya po, lahat alam niya po.
01:56No, but congratulations, Nicole, because you graduated.
01:58Wow, sumak, cum laude.
02:02Wala ko sa San Francisco State University.
02:05How proud were you?
02:07So proud.
02:10I always tell people that she's my pride and joy.
02:15A lot of things may have not been perfect in my life, but she's the most perfect thing.
02:22That's been close to perfect that was given to me by God.
02:26How do you respond to that?
02:28I'm not perfect, but I guess I'm like so close to it according to mommy, right?
02:33Pero whenever po, she expresses pride sa akin, parang napupuno po yung loob ko.
02:41I feel like may tama po kong ginagawa.
02:45And you are, you are doing a lot of things right.
02:49During your graduation, your mom was there, your dad was there, Norman.
02:54How was that?
02:55It felt po different.
02:58Pero at the same time, para po siyang invigorating.
03:02Kasi parang nabuo ulit yung pamilya.
03:05And not just that, kasi mayroon na pong additions sa mga family namin.
03:09So my mom and my titas po, they were there po sa graduation ko.
03:14My dad and my stepmom.
03:15I feel like, siguro, kailangan talaga mag-diverge ng paths nila for the family to be more cool.
03:23Parang sinasabi mo ngayon that you have a better understanding.
03:26Yes, ma'am.
03:27Did you explain to Nicole nung naghiwalay kayo ni Norman?
03:30I did, as much as I can to your boy at that time because she was only seven years old.
03:36At alam naman natin mga magulang, kapag hindi talaga nagkakasundo ang tatay, ang nanay,
03:42at kailangan talaga natin mag-part na ways kahit na mahirap sa ating mga kalooban,
03:46sa damdamin at masakit para sa pamilya natin.
03:49And I think it is the responsibility of either the father or the mother to tell or break the news
03:55to their child.
03:56And that's what I did.
03:57Did you understand na unawaan mo nung nalaman mo at ipinaliwanag sa'yo na nagkahiwalay ang mom at dad?
04:04Honestly po, nung bata ako, hindi ko po talaga siya naiintindihan.
04:09Akala ko kailangan na may taong i-blame.
04:15Pero hindi po yun realistic.
04:19Kasi sometimes, ngayon na mas matanda ako.
04:22People are just different.
04:24And sometimes life takes you to different paths.
04:27And that's okay.
04:28If anything, sometimes it makes it better.
04:31So ngayon, na mas matanda na ako.
04:33Mas may pag-unawa na ako.
04:36Kasi may mga sacrifices po sinong ginawa.
04:39Even just to stay together for as long as they did, lalo na para sa akin.
04:43So I'm so thankful for them, both of them.
04:46Pero this understanding is now happening in hindsight.
04:50Diba?
04:51Now that you're 24, you have a better understanding.
04:53Now at 24, you realize na magkaiba, may mga problema, etc.
04:58Pero nung ikaibata, paano ka naapektuhan?
05:01Were you asking the difficult questions?
05:02I was asking if it was me, kung ako yung may kasalanan.
05:09Oh.
05:09Kasi, yung problem po nun is, nasa Pilipinas kami, may dad naman na sa US.
05:17So, dahil ba nandito ako at malayo tayo, hindi pwede maging buo yung pamilya natin.
05:27I've always had doubts.
05:30And I thought, well, hindi pwede si mommy magkamali.
05:34Si daddy hindi pwede magkamali.
05:37Pero ako, siguro ay noon nung bata pa ako na I saw myself as human.
05:44So, kung silang dalawa, both of my idols, my heroes, hindi pwede magkamali,
05:49siguro sa akin yung mali.
05:50Oh, okay.
05:53And then, of course, you realized na hindi pala ganon.
05:55Hindi pala ganon.
05:56Did you know this, Sheryl?
05:59Were you aware?
06:00Yeah, actually, this is a revealing, a revelation.
06:03It's a revealing moment for me.
06:06And actually, I understand her better for that.
06:09Ang akala niya saang may kasalanan.
06:10Yes.
06:11At nakakalungkot, nakakasama ng loob na.
06:15Ganon pala yung mga nararamdaman ng mga anak natin.
06:18Ang hindi naman natin alam, they're just there in the cross-airs.
06:24Ng pagkalimbawa at nagkahiwalay ang magulang, di ba?
06:27Kahit na nagmamahalan yung magulang natin, pero talagang hindi na sila magkasundo,
06:32it doesn't mean na it's a failure on the children's part or on the child's part.
06:37Unexpressed yung iba.
06:39Yes.
06:39Di ba?
06:40Hindi na articulate, hindi na ipapaliwanag.
06:42Yes.
06:43Ika nga ng isang kaibigan, they just ride the tide.
06:46Yes.
06:46Kasi maraming mga bagay talaga ang hindi na iintindihan.
06:50But after the separation, kumusta yung relasyon mo sa tatay mo?
06:54Honestly po, I think mas naging light po siya.
06:59There used to be a heaviness.
07:01Tapos there was a sort of liberation po.
07:04I can say po, ngayon po, yung relationship namin, sobra na pong grounded.
07:10Mas lalo na...
07:11At gusto mo yun?
07:12Mas gusto ko po yun.
07:13Kasi wala na pong bigat.
07:15So mas grounded siya kasi he's more honest and more straightforward.
07:20To the point po na, in a way, para po siya yung balance po.
07:25Have you become friends with Norman?
07:27We're civil.
07:27Yes, sure.
07:28We're both proud of Ashley's achievements.
07:30And when we saw our daughter graduate sa college with the summa cum laude honor, we were both proud as
07:43parents.
07:44Merong bahagi ng iyong pagkatao na nagwi-wish, na sanay?
07:50Sanay, mabuo pa rin kami?
07:54No.
07:55Honestly, no.
07:57Bakit?
07:57Kasi po, I see po yung difference po in the way they both are.
08:04Okay.
08:04Basically, as individuals kaysa sa party ng isang unit.
08:09Tate parang sa pilitan.
08:11Ngayon, I feel like may liberation or may freedom sila sa kanya-kanya na nanggawain.
08:18Lalo na with my stepmom.
08:20Kung sila pa ni mommy, no offense.
08:24I wouldn't be able to meet her and have like very, very nice step-siblings na nag-guide din po
08:30sa akin.
08:30So, I would say, para kaming unit, isang malaking mixed family.
08:36I want to go to the summa cum laude thing.
08:39Summa cum laude to show business.
08:41Was that a difficult decision?
08:43I would say no po.
08:45Kasi po, honestly, acting, story, and creation.
08:50Since preschool po, I've always, always loved it po.
08:54I didn't think it would be my career path at first.
08:58Not until towards the end of college po.
09:03Na I had a professor come up to me and say,
09:05You have potential.
09:07You should learn and then try to enhance it more.
09:11So, since then, parang namulat lang ako.
09:14Sabi ko, ah, kaya pala to.
09:16Kasi the person that's saying it is somebody na sa America pa to.
09:21So, they don't know me.
09:23Wala salang paka sa mga family ko kasi...
09:25The power of words, no?
09:26Kasi walang dayas.
09:28So, parang, ah, okay.
09:32If you see something in me, then maybe I can trust in myself more.
09:36Anong reaksyon mo nung nalaman mo, you know, she wanted to pursue acting?
09:40At first, like any other parent, showbiz is very hard.
09:48And, ah, of course, I do not wish my kid not to be in here kasi it's in her blood.
09:54So, I know that she will always have something to fall back on
09:59because tapos naman siya na kanyang pag-aaral.
10:02But, of course, hindi ko sa kanya pwedeng ipagkait
10:07itong passion niya to pursue what is in her blood,
10:11which is acting and the love of singing and creation
10:17because she's also a talented writer.
10:21That's one thing na hindi pa alam ng mga tao.
10:23When did you know na sikat ang angkad mo?
10:26When did you know that mom ay sikat na sikat?
10:30Funny po.
10:32Grade school po, elementary school po.
10:34Nung bumibili po ako sa canteen, yung nagbabenta po ng French fries.
10:40Dito?
10:41Opo.
10:41Bibigin niyo ako ng discount dahil anak ko rin ni Cheryl Cruz.
10:47Okay.
10:48So, sabi mo, ah, okay, sikat pala.
10:50Kaya puto pa ba ako?
10:53Okay.
10:54Doon mo na laman.
10:55Opo.
10:56Sumusulat ka, umaarte ka, subukan nga natin.
10:59Kasi parati ako nag-audition para sa mga producers.
11:02Wala pang kumukuha sa akin.
11:03Pero parati akong sumusubok sa aking pag-arte.
11:07Halimbawa, may eksena tayo ngayon.
11:10Meron kang mandiligaw, hindi siya type ng mommy.
11:14Ako naman ang tiyuhin mo, type na type ko.
11:17Kami ang nag-aaway.
11:18Ikaw naman, you're trying to convince mom at tutulungan kita that he's the right boy for you.
11:25Are you willing to take that scene?
11:28Improvisation lang.
11:28Game.
11:29Okay.
11:29Five, four, three, two, one.
11:32Action!
11:32Ano ba nakikita mo dyan sa lalapin yan?
11:35Ma, mabait naman siya.
11:37Pogi naman siya.
11:38Matangkad pa siya.
11:39Oh, yun bang pala, Sherry?
11:40Hindi pa naman siya nagbabad.
11:42Oh, yun bang pala eh.
11:43Ano ba problema?
11:44Ano ba yung ano?
11:45Ma, tama na gusto mo ba?
11:48Walang bukok.
11:50Parang ako yata ang pinaririnigan mo.
11:53Napakasakit na ba nun?
11:56Nicole, kakampi mo ako dito.
11:58Ikaw talaga, kuya boy, yung influensya mo dito, ha?
12:01Kay Nicole, ha?
12:02Ang lakas-lakas.
12:05Talagang mag-tiyo nga kayo.
12:07Correct.
12:08Cut.
12:11Pero alam mo rin ba, Nicole,
12:13that your whole clan actually sings and dances.
12:18I mean, the whole clan.
12:20You're aware of this?
12:22Yes.
12:23Sobra po.
12:24Di ba?
12:24Sobra.
12:25Narinig ko po yung boses niya hanggang kwarto ko pag nagkakaraoke po siya.
12:30Okay.
12:30Vice versa din ata.
12:34What is your favorite song of mom?
12:36My favorite song of mom, Mr. Dream Boy.
12:39Kung meron kang isang piece of advice na may kinalaman sa pag-ibig para sa iyong anak,
12:45ngayong siya pumapasok na sa industriya,
12:47ano yung an advice on love?
12:49Ang kasagutan sa pagbabalik po ng Fast Talk with Boy.
12:56So back to the show, kasama po natin, Cheryl and Nicole.
13:01Bakit sonora palang ginamit mo?
13:03Kasi po, yung Cruz, it's a legacy na po.
13:08Kilalang kilala na po sila dito sa Pinas.
13:10So, yun po yung fraternal side po ng mom ko.
13:14This time po, gusto ko po magpay ng homage,
13:19pati i-honor naman po yung maternal side ng mama po,
13:23which is my lola, Rosemary Sonora.

15:22Your message for each other?
15:27Well, Ashley, I wish you well in your showbiz endeavor and please don't lose your model compass.
15:36Ikaw naman, Nicole?
15:37Ma'am, I wish you look after me all the time and I wish that you keep doing well.
15:46And regardless of anything, I love you.
15:50I love you.
15:53What's the lesson that you have learned about love?
15:55What's the lesson that you always share with me?
15:58I want her to love herself more than whoever she's going to be loving and going to be spending the
16:07rest of her life with.
16:08I remember the last time we spoke to each other, Cheryl, dito sa show.
16:12May of 2024.
16:14Diba?
16:14We showed a photo.
16:15Diba, hindi yan.
16:16Ito o.
16:16I showed you.
16:18It was just a passing fling lang.
16:20Ah, talaga?
16:22Kasi hindi naman seryoso.
16:23Kaya sabi nga ni Nicole, pag wala dito.
16:26So hindi na tuloy.
16:27Hindi na tuloy.
16:28Okay.
16:29Pero ang tanong, kumusta ang lagay ng puso mo ngayon?
16:32Sobrang saya.
16:33First of all, I'm so happy because, I'm so blessed because I'm working.
16:38I'm doing Born to Shine.
16:40I'm doing Capacita.
16:41That's exciting.
16:42Yes, and that's exciting.
16:43And then I'm going to have a trip to India very soon.
16:45So I'll see all my friends in India.
16:48You fell in love dito sa ating industriya.
16:51Nakaranas ka ng heartache.
16:54Maraming heartaches, maraming heartbreaks, maraming frustration.
16:58And having Selva.
16:59It's part, I think it's part of my journey, being an actress and being in this business for as long
17:07as I have been.
17:08Dahil four years old pa lang ako, ako, Kuya Boy, nandito na ako sa show business.
17:13And I'm already 51.
17:15So, yung...
17:17And looking a lot younger than 51.
17:19Wow, nice.
17:20I hope this is the new 30 na, di ba?
17:22Sabi nga nila.
17:23But, you know, of course, I would like Ashley to have the time of her life here in show business.
17:31For whatever happens, if it's a rollercoaster ride of emotions, then I just want her to enjoy the ride.
17:40And know herself better than anyone else.
17:43Okay, kung nagtataka po kayo kung bakit ang tawag ni Cheryl is Ashley, the name talaga of Nicole is Ashley
17:50Nicole.
17:52Ashley Nicole.
17:52But you will be using Nicole.
17:54Yes.
17:54As an actor.
17:56Yes.
17:57Yay!
18:01Love.
18:02Thank you very much.
18:03I wish you the best.
18:04Thank you so much.
18:05Love you.
18:06I love you.
18:09Nicole and Cheryl.
18:11God bless you.
18:13Maraming maraming salamat.
18:14And talk about your project with our friends.
18:18Yes, with Manilin and Christina Paner.
18:20Born to shine.
18:21Dito na yan sa GMA7.
18:23Malapit nila po yung mapanood.
18:26Maraming maraming salamat.
18:27You were born to shine.
18:30Naytay, kapuso, maraming salamat po sa inyong pagpapapasok sa amin.
18:34Sa inyong mga tahanan, araw-araw, be kind, make your nanay proud and say thank you.
18:40And araw-araw ang daming challenges, ang daming mga pagdududa.
18:45Piliin ang tama.
18:46Gawin ang tama.
18:47Be one tama.
18:48Goodbye for now and God bless.
