00:05Let's talk about your dad, growing up with Francis, with Kiko, I know you're asked very often how much a
00:13pressure was it or is it?
00:15When you're telling Francis Magalona, it's not easy. That's a big, that's a huge, massive shadow.
00:23How are you coping, not only coping, but how are you living with it?
00:27I just really learned to accept that as much as we try to escape being under the shadow, I learned
00:41to accept that it's a part of my life.
00:44The shadow is going to stay.
00:46You don't really try to run away from your shadow because it's part of you. But at the same time,
00:52I don't let it be my whole personality.
00:55I just accept it and let people know that if their people are requesting to hear Papa's songs, we're there.
01:08We're game to bring it back, bring back the memories of the songs that he created.
01:13But I've also learned to set that aside and have something for my own.
01:21So I have my own identity.
01:24That's right. It's hard, Arkin.
01:27Me personally, I treat it now that it's not pressure set by the people. It's more of they acknowledge that
01:37we're the son of Sir Kiko and it shows me the respect that they have for our father.
01:42So it makes me more proud that they get to know us as the sons of Kiko and it makes
01:48me want to represent him more and make the newer generation discover him.
01:55Because at our age, like my age, it's kind of faded from Papa with our generation.
02:05It's like he's not as known compared to other contemporaries at the time.
02:21We'll see you later.
