00:00And then suddenly you're going to get out, so you're going to hold your hands.
00:07Okay, interesting.
00:09Yeah, Mimi.
00:10What? I don't know what to say.
00:12I don't know what to say.
00:16What?
00:18Grabe.
00:28And because this show talks about secrets, in your personal life, how do you know when something is best kept
00:37to yourself?
00:38I don't. I'm so open-book. I didn't ask me anything.
00:45I really live by, the truth sets you free.
00:50And I feel like I'm so careful. I'm so shy because I'm so honest.
00:57Okay, okay.
00:58I don't have a secret.
01:02Grabe, I don't have a secret.
01:03I don't have a secret.
01:05I think I don't have a secret. It's more of just, deserve to know this person.
01:10The truth, the truth, or the truth that it needs from me.
01:14It's more of just that.
01:16If anyone deserves to see this version of me or whatever.
01:20But I don't really keep secrets.
01:23So you don't mind if the person you told to tells other people?
01:28I don't know.
01:32I don't know.
01:34I don't know.
01:35I don't know.
01:36I don't know.
01:37I don't know.
01:37I don't know.
01:38I make sure that what I say, I can back up.
01:41Okay.
01:42Or I can say to myself, I can say, you said that, you want to talk about it.
01:48I don't know.
01:49Yeah, I think it's the same.
01:50Even if you're in the showbiz, I'm sure I'm sure that, eh, that's what I said to you.
01:55Especially if you're in the showbiz.
01:56Especially if you're in the showbiz.
01:56That's why I'm sure.
01:58Why do you use the right thing though?
02:00Yes.
02:01Sometimes it's going to change.
02:02It's going to change the grammar.
02:03Sometimes it's going to change the grammar.
02:04That's the problem.
02:05It's not going to change the grammar.
02:07There are not going to change the grammar.
02:09That's why I'm in my private life.
02:12I think you just have to really be careful.
02:14Just don't trust anybody.
02:17That's it.
02:18Just be very aware.
02:19Well, it's safe to say, I know the answer to the next question.
02:23I'll ask you, who is more secretive, you or your character?
02:27My character.
02:28Your character.
02:29Yeah.
02:29For you then.
02:31Your character.
02:32Yeah.
02:33Because you're not really.
02:35You too, Enrique, do you rarely keep secrets?
02:39Yeah.
02:40Or like, you just don't hide anything?
02:43No, I don't.
02:44Usually, especially to the people I'm close to.
02:48Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Okay.
02:51I think, yeah.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Sometimes, there's times that you just kept your mouth shut.
02:57But like...
02:58Do you have any kind of stuff like that?
03:00Of course.
03:00Like, after you're coming out, it's like...
03:02Of course.
03:02Because sometimes, it's different or something.
03:03So, sometimes less talk is less...
03:06Sorry.
03:06Less problems.
03:08Yes.
03:08I don't actually...
03:10I only feel that, when I feel that the person's not listening, then I'm afraid that I'm not
03:16listening.
03:16You're not saying that.
03:17But it's not coming from...
03:21I regret saying it because it might damage me, but more of, I feel like he's not listening.
03:26I hope he's not listening.
03:28More of that.
03:29Like, I feel like, oh, I'm overshare and I feel like this person's not even listening.
03:35He's not listening.
03:35So, I kind of feel a little ashamed.
03:38Like, oh, I don't know what I'm saying.
03:40Fair.
03:42Fair.
03:45I regret saying that that might damage my career.
03:48Okay.
03:50Very balanced.
03:51Oh, because I really can back up.
03:52It's easy.
03:53What did I say?
03:54Hmm.
03:54Oh, yeah.
03:56See?
03:56It's easy because we're both.
04:00I'm going to go back up again.
04:02Okay.
04:03Okay.
04:04Well, how similar or different are you to your characters?
04:08Well, I don't have a generational wealth.
04:12That's the biggest difference.
04:14The biggest difference of Kiara.
04:17The generational wealth.
04:19Oh, Kiara.
04:21Doon pa lang, dami na namin pinagkaiba.
04:23Wala din na mga problema niya.
04:26Thankfully, luckily, yung yaman namin.
04:31Pero character-wise and personality-wise,
04:36parehas kaming matapang eh.
04:38No.
04:38Parehas kaming matapang.
04:39Parehas kaming matapang sa pag-ibig.
04:41Ayan.
04:42As in, parehas kaming fighter sa love.
04:44Parehas kaming lover.
04:46Lover girl.
04:47Okay, how about you?
04:50Halos lahat kasi parang ako talaga eh.
04:52Pag may problema ko, I just try to make things lightly,
04:55look at the brighter side of things.
04:56Ako si Mr. Positive.
04:58Ayaw ko mafeel depresa, ayaw ko mafeel sad.
05:00So, I was trying to make myself happy or make other people happy
05:02para mag-sumaya ko.
05:04Alam mo yun?
05:05Ako yung,
05:06hindi tara, let's go, tara, enjoy tayo, kulitan tayo.
05:09You know?
05:10Um, but I think one thing is, hindi wata kaya mag-secret sa mahal ko sa buhay.
05:15Okay.
05:16Ah, yeah.
05:17That's one thing, one thing.
05:18Parang, siyempre sa unang sa lahat,
05:21hindi niya maintidin, siya yung unang pupuntahan sa sabihin ko.
05:24Yung sikreto.
05:25Alam yun.
05:25True.
05:26Okay.
05:26But apart from that.
05:26I think that's one thing.
05:27But of course, siyempre, maybe sa story and, you know, maraming layers of factors.
05:32Pa nag-aminan agad, eh di.
05:33Wala lang story.
05:35Wala lang story.
05:35Wala lang story.
05:35Yun na nga.
05:36It's just for the story.
05:37It's just for the story.
05:38For the story.
05:39I think that's just the biggest thing.
05:40Like, kahit gano'n mang hahihirap.
05:43Well, eventually, ahami naman eh.
05:45Okay.
05:45So, pang aspects, I think better si Kiara kisa sakin.
05:49Okay.
05:49Like, mas, mas, I think mas sweet siya eh.
05:52I don't call it.
05:52Hindi ka mas sweet?
05:54I don't know.
05:57Hindi ka mas sweet.
05:58I don't know.
05:59I don't know.
06:00Sweet naman ako.
06:00Okay.
06:01O, so ito ko super sweet ko.
06:02Basta, may mga times na mas mabait pa si Kiara.
06:06Oh, okay.
06:07Pero may times din na hindi siya kasi mabait.
06:11So, mas lamang ako eh. Kiara doon.
06:13Ati sindi ako pangkikwapkiko.
06:15Sula kang gano'no, okay.
06:16Pa, ganun.
06:17Pa, ganun.
06:18Pa.
06:18Well, after doing this project,
06:20did it change how you look at secrets and relationships in real life?
06:24No.
06:26No.
06:27Very...
06:30I have my opinion about the secret in the relationship, so it's a big no in the relationship.
06:37That's why we're making a series.
06:41That's why we're making a mistake in Prague.
06:44There's a secret in that.
06:45That's how your perspective is.
06:47It's a new one.
06:48That's how you support this show.
06:53How about for you?
06:55That's hard.
06:56Do you think men must better left unsaid the other thing?
07:01Depending.
07:04There are some situations sometimes.
07:06It does work.
07:07I just want to ask you, if you are Mikoy,
07:12and the true love story of Chiara and Mikoy,
07:15that whole thing,
07:16do you want to tell the truth to him?
07:22Yes?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Did you say the truth?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Wow.
07:27Okay.
07:28You.
07:29Ask yourself.
07:32But...
07:32What do you think?
07:36If...
07:37If...
07:37It's hard to say,
07:38because it's not a spoiler.
07:40That's true.
07:41Let's go back to that.
07:42But when you say that, it's not a story.
07:45That's true.
07:45Let's go back to this question.
07:47In the promo, it's an ending.
07:49It's an ending.
07:50It's an ending.
07:51It's an ending.
07:51It's easier to talk about it.
07:53Yeah.
07:53I'm sure we'll do it again.
07:55It's an ending.
07:56The promo ending.
07:57Yeah.
07:58But from what the Pepsters have witnessed just now,
08:01it's kind of intriguing.
08:02Like, you've questioned Andrea for you as Mikoy.
08:06So, we will definitely watch out for that.
08:09Now, let's talk about your career.
08:11I think you touched on this earlier,
08:15a little bit earlier.
08:16You mentioned love teams.
08:18At this point, do you still feel the need
08:21to be tied to a screen partner?
08:24Me too.
08:25No.
08:26You're still learning.
08:28It's hard if my choice is not.
08:31So...
08:32Because my choice is not.
08:33Because my feeling is not needed.
08:37But...
08:37I've always thought about it.
08:39Because for the longest time,
08:41that's my dream.
08:41It's like a love team.
08:44Because it's...
08:45What works,
08:46especially here in the Philippines,
08:48like if you really want to be mainstream,
08:50or if you really want to be so cool,
08:52or become phenomenal,
08:54you really need to do that.
08:57And then, I realized,
08:59I think it's not for me.
09:03But I've always thought about it.
09:06The achievements,
09:07that you share with,
09:08that you share with,
09:09that you're together.
09:10Especially if,
09:11for example,
09:12that relationship is good.
09:13That's probably so cool.
09:14But I'm also happy with all of my achievements.
09:18That I'm just happy.
09:19I did it all by myself.
09:21It's different.
09:23The feeling is different.
09:25Fulfillment.
09:26Fulfillment.
09:27But it's different.
09:28It's different.
09:28I don't compare it.
09:29It's better.
09:30This one's better.
09:31I just feel like,
09:32this is my path,
09:34and I'm happy
09:36with my path.
09:39That's it.
09:40There you go.
09:40Thanks.
09:40Both contributed to Hushes.
09:43How about for you?
09:44For me, right now?
09:45Yes.
09:45No.
09:46The stage of my career,
09:48I don't think so.
09:50I've already done that.
09:52At this point,
09:55with the projects I want to do,
09:57and moving forward,
09:59that's not really my radar.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Yeah.
10:02I think, you know,
10:03you have to evolve,
10:04you know,
10:04as an artist.
10:06And so,
10:07you can't just stay the same.
10:09So,
10:09if it's a love team,
10:12maybe, possibly,
10:13but not really needed.
10:14Anyway.
10:16What are the pros and cons
10:18of the love team?
10:21Um,
10:23well,
10:24pros and cons.
10:26Well,
10:26pros is,
10:27well,
10:27you know each other so well
10:29that it's so easy to...
10:31Ako,
10:31just sell it for me
10:33because it's all for me.
10:35The pros.

10:36The pros.
10:37The pros.
10:37The pros.
10:37I mean,
10:41there's no big cut.
10:42There's no cut.
10:44There's no cut.
10:45I mean,
10:46that's my experience.
10:47That's my experience.
10:48That's my experience.
10:49That's my experience.
10:50Like,
10:51if I put together,
10:52like,
10:53like,
10:54the pros and cons.
11:20The pros.
11:21The pros.
11:36The pros.
11:50The pros.
11:52The pros.
11:53i say,
11:54you know,
11:55when you get to work with somebody for so long,
11:56you know each other for so well.
11:59So,
11:59you usually know each other so well.
12:01with the tone as well,
12:02the only one word you know how to carry each other.
12:07You know how to carry each other.
12:08You know how to,
12:08you know,
12:08when you don't feel like each other.
12:13In the other one,
12:22Just a moment,
12:22you know.
12:23out on you, of you.
12:25I think yung masaya
12:26lang na parang pros
12:28dun is, lalo na kung kapartner
12:30mo yung, kapartner mo talaga in
12:32real life, yung ka-love team mo, parang
12:34hindi na siya work, parang
12:36everyday ka may date.
12:38Para siyang ganun.
12:40Pero kasama dun yung cons
12:42na kung kapartner mo talaga yung love team mo,
12:45pang magka-inisan kayo
12:46tapos kailangan, ay, shoot!
12:48Pero sa inyo,
12:50pero pagkakat...
12:51Oo, yan talaga, yan.
12:53Makaya ka pa din sa...
12:54Pag-sweep yung scene,
12:57tapos nag-away kayo.
12:58Super, super.
12:58Tapos medyo halata.
13:00Guys, kailangan sweet yung scene, ha?
13:02Tapos kailangan na kayong tawagin sa set.
13:05Mamaya.
13:07Hindi kasi,
13:08tapos di ka pinapansin.
13:10So nung yan, na-experience niyang dalawa.
13:13Parang na-experience niyang dalawa.
13:16Tapos di kayo magka, ano,
13:17tapos biglang lalabas na kayo,
13:19so mag-holding hands kayo.
13:23Okay, interesting.
13:26Yan na, Mimi.
13:27Ano, wala akong sinasabi?
13:30Wala akong sinasabi?
13:33What?
13:34Ba?
13:35Grabe mo.
13:36Sorry.
13:36Ayun.
13:37Um, well,
13:39about, about the fans.
13:40Memories bring back,
13:41memories bring back, you.
13:43Ina-assar ka talaga, oh.
13:45Ano ang tawag dito?
13:46Um, fans can get really obsessive over love themes.
13:50Do you think that's more of a pro or a con?
13:53Which is, where is it leaning more?
13:55Pantay lang siya, I think.
13:57In the middle.
13:58Yeah.
13:58Meron siyang sarili niya talagang benefits.
14:01At meron din talagang,
14:04no.
14:04I think, for me,
14:07kasi,
14:08yung, siyempre, yung cons na yung pag-control na masyado na parang,
14:12may buhay ako, tao ako,
14:14yung part na yun na alam na natin lahat.
14:16Pero yung mga pros is,
14:18talagang andyan sila for you.
14:20Yeah.
14:20No matter what,
14:22talagang pagtatanggol ka nila,
14:24some sick and sin,
14:25and solid yun,
14:27yung magkaroon ng ganun na fan,
14:29na tao sa buhay mo.
14:32I think,
14:33sobrang,
14:36ayaw ko.
14:37Dama ka na ba?
14:38Dama ka na.
14:38Super sick.
14:39Hindi din po kasi ako actually,
14:40umabot sa point na naging super,
14:43parang,
14:44nagkaroon ako ng super obsessive na
14:48fandom na love team,
14:49ganun, ganun.
14:50No love team.
14:51I think, hindi ako umabot dun,
14:52kasi,
14:53um,
14:56hindi din kasi,
14:57medyo umabot sa peak,
14:58yung love team ko,
14:59sa pagkakaalala ko,
15:01at least sa stand,
15:02sa parang,
15:03kung iku-compare ko sa standards,
15:04of course,
15:05yung pagiging,
15:06sa Liz Ken,
15:08hindi din po kumabot dun,
15:10because,
15:10nag-stop din ako ng maagay,
15:12sa pagla love team,
15:1317,
15:1518,
15:16yata ako nag-stop mag love team.
15:17And few projects,
15:19few projects lang yun.
15:20Maagaaga,
15:21I think,
15:22bago ako umabot sa point na yun.
15:25Yeah.
15:25So I can't say,
15:27ibang experience sa,
15:28sa'yo.
15:29Sa'yo.
15:32Puro nod na lang.
15:34Okay.
15:35Nothing to add.
15:36Nothing to add.
15:37Okay, okay.
15:38That's,
15:38that's okay.
15:39So how do you see showbiz now,
15:42and how has your perspective as an actor evolved?
15:47What's new in the showbiz industry?
15:50I think for the better.
15:52Definitely.
15:53Working hours,
15:55what do you call it?
15:56I think,
15:57I think they're more open to different concepts.
16:02Yeah,
16:03Mas open na yun.
16:04Yeah.
16:05Mas collaborative na yun.
16:06Mas collaborative na yun.
16:07That's true.
16:08Yeah.
16:08So everything's really changing.
16:10Everything's actually really evolving na talaga.
16:13Which is good.
16:14Because sometimes,
16:15it's like magic that I want to go back.
16:16Because I can see,
16:17like,
16:18it's kind of like,
16:18it's kind of like,
16:20you know,
16:21what we see before.
16:22Which is really good.
16:22It's not a bad thing.
16:25So yeah,
16:26I mean,
16:26I think it's about time that we evolved from,
16:30you know,
16:32typical projects we see coming out.
16:34So mas edgier na.
16:35Edgier.
16:36Yeah,
16:37super edgier.
16:37That's true.
16:38Good you mentioned collaborative,
16:40kasi nag-start kayo,
16:41nagrabe pa yung network wars.
16:43Yeah.
16:44Tas ngayon,
16:45na-experience nyo rin to na,
16:47nagko-collaborate na lahat.
16:49Nag-totalangan na lahat,
16:50yeah.
16:51How about for you,
16:52paano nag-change yung perspective mo
16:54as an actor
16:54with what's happening in showbiz now?
16:57Exciting, man.
16:59I think halos atang sinabi ni
17:01I think it's exciting for,
17:04especially for people coming in
17:06to the industry now.
17:07Hindi na may experience yung mga
17:08long hours of taping,
17:09iwanang tulugan.
17:10Tatangkad po sila.

18:09Sige.
18:10Last time,
18:11mason ago,
18:11binashoko yun.
18:12Sige,
18:13wag.
18:13Wag na natin.
18:15How about you?
18:17I don't know.
18:18I mean,
18:19I believe everybody has a chance,
18:20you know,
18:20if they can,
18:22as long as may,
18:23you know,
18:24may they can bring
18:24something to the table.
18:26Yeah.
18:26Don't really judge anybody.
18:28Yun lang.
18:29I mean,
18:30as long as you can bring
18:31something to the table,
18:31you have your own personality,
18:33you bring your own flavor.
18:35Yun lang.
18:36Yun lang.
18:37At the end of the day,
18:38mas naniniwala ako sa,
18:39if it's meant for you.
18:41It's meant for you.
18:41It's meant for you.
18:42So,
18:42wala naman difference if,
18:44nagpila ako,
18:46nagcommit ako,
18:46or kaya nag-send lang ako.
18:48kasi yung tamang project,
18:50kahangapin ka talaga
18:51kung para sa yun,
18:52para sa yun.
18:52That's true.
18:53And if you really have
18:54the passion for acting,
18:55lalabas yun,
18:56at magsistay ka talaga sa industry.
18:58Yun lang ginagawa na lang
18:59sa Hollywood,
19:00nagsisend lang din sila ng tapes.
19:02Yeah.
19:02I think,
19:03you know,
19:03you just follow what you want,
19:06and everything will always
19:07fall in the right place.
19:08I think lumalabas din kasi yan,
19:10or it translates on screen,
19:12when someone just wants
19:12to be an actor or actress,
19:14because they want to be famous.
19:15Yeah.
19:16As opposed to,
19:17well, there's some naman
19:18who just really love acting talaga.
19:20Yeah.
19:20I think that's the difference
19:21of being an actor,
19:23actress,
19:24artista.
19:25Yeah.
