00:00What? And suddenly, you're going to get out of here, so you'll hold your hands.
00:07Okay, interesting.
00:09Okay, Mimi.
00:10What? I don't know what to say.
00:12I don't know what to say.
00:16What?
00:17What?
00:18That's great.
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.
00:42As in, ask me anything.
00:45I really live by...
00:48The truth sets you free.
00:50And I feel like I'm so careful.
00:54I'm so shy because I'm so honest.
00:57Okay, okay.
00:59I don't have a secret.
01:02I don't think so.
01:04I don't think so.
01:05I don't think so.
01:06I don't think so.
01:06I don't think so.
01:13It's more the need from me.
01:14It's more the need if someone deserves 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 you tells other people?
01:28So, kapag may sasabihin ako, once sinabi ko na siya sa ibang tao, alam ko na na...
01:34Malalaman na.
01:36Malalaman ng mga tao.
01:37Or like, I make sure na what I say, kaya kong back-upan.
01:41Okay.
01:42Or kaya kong, kaya sabihin sa akin sa harapan.
01:45Kaya you said that, you want to talk about it.
01:48Parang ganun.
01:49Yeah, I think it's the same.
01:51Lalo na, kapag nasa showbiz ka, like, medyo sure na ako na, eh, yung sinabi ko sa iyo.
01:55Lalo bas rin.
01:56Lalo bas rin yan.
01:57Kaya nga, sure ako eh.
01:58Sana ginamit niyang tama, though.
02:00Oo nga.
02:01Minsan na iiba pa, eh.
02:02Sana tama yung grandma niya.
02:03Minsan na iiba pa, eh.
02:05Yan lang yung problem.
02:05May niladagdag pa.
02:07May mga hindi sinama.
02:10Ganun ako, kahit sa private life ko.
02:12I think just, you just have to really be careful lang.
02:14You know, just don't trust anybody.
02:17You know, yun lang.
02:18Just be very wary lang.
02:20Oh.
02:21Well, safe to say, I know the answer na to the next question.
02:23Tatanin ko sana, who is more secretive, you or your character?
02:26My character.
02:28Your character.
02:29Yeah.
02:29For you then.
02:30Character.
02:31Your characters, no?
02:32Yeah.
02:33Kasi hindi talaga kayo.
02:35Ikaw din, Arieke.
02:36You rarely keep secrets?
02:38Um, yeah.
02:39Or like, you just don't hide anything?
02:43Hindi naman.
02:43I don't.
02:44Usually, nasasabi mo.
02:46Especially to the people like I'm close to.
02:48Yeah, nasasabi ko.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Okay.
02:51I think, yeah.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Minsan, dapat.
02:55Parang, there's times na dapat you just kept your mouth shut.
02:57But like, you know?
02:58May mga ganun ba kayo?
03:00Parang after niyong maglabas parang halasan.
03:02Minsan naiba or something.
03:03So, sometimes less talk is less book.
03:06Sorry.
03:06Less, you know, problems din eh.
03:09I don't actually, I only feel that kapag nararamdaman ko na the person's not listening,
03:14then ako napapaasana palin na na-himon na-himon na-himon.
03:17But, it's not coming from, na I regret saying it because it might damage me,
03:24but more of, I feel like he's not listening sana pala hindi nang nakapagwentuhan.
03:28More of that.
03:29Na parang, I feel like, you know, parang, ah, napo-overshare ako,
03:33and I feel like this person's not even listening.
03:35So, I kind of feel a little ashamed.
03:38Saan, iba lang din alodaw ko, ben.
03:41Ganun yung, mas nangagagalin siya.
03:42Fair.
03:42Mas embarrassment for me kaysa sa,
03:45I regret saying that that might damage my career.
03:48Parang ganun, parang wala man akong ganun.
03:50Very valid.
03:51Kasi kaya ko talagang backup.
03:52Nendali, ano yung sinabi ko?
03:54Anyway, see?
03:57Madal-dal kasi kami pala yung parayas.
04:00Yan, dumadal-dal na ako ulit.
04:02Okay.
04:03Okay lang yan.
04:04Well, how similar or different are you to your characters?
04:08Well, wala po akong generational wealth.
04:12Yan yung biggest difference.
04:14The biggest difference of Kiara is that Kiara is not the generational wealth.
04:20We have a lot of different differences.
04:23She doesn't have any problems.
04:26Thankfully, luckily, that's what we're feeling.
04:31But character-wise and personality-wise, we seem to be happy.
04:38We seem to be happy in love.
04:42As in, we're like a fighter in love. We're like a lover.
04:46Lover girl.
04:47Okay, how about you?
04:48For me, it's almost like me.
04:52When I have a problem, I try to make things slightly, look at the brighter side of things.
04:56I'm Mr. Positive.
04:58I don't want to feel depressed, I don't want to feel sad.
05:00So I try to make myself happy or make other people happy so that I can be happy.
05:04You know that?
05:05I'm like, let's go, let's enjoy, let's go.
05:08Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
05:11But I think one thing is, I don't want to be secret in life.
05:15Okay.
05:17That's one thing.
05:18Like, of course, the first thing, even if you don't understand, it's the first thing that I'm going to say.
05:24The secret.
05:25True.
05:25But apart from that.
05:27I think that's one thing.
05:27But of course, of course, maybe it's a story and there are a lot of layers and factors.
05:32Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:34It's not a story.
05:35It's just for the story.
05:37It's just for the story.
05:38It's just for the story.
05:38So I think that's the biggest thing.
05:40Like, even if you're hard, well eventually it'll be hard.
05:45Okay.
05:45But aspects, I think better, Kyara, one of us.
05:49Like, I think she's more sweet.
05:52I don't know.
05:52You're not sweet?
05:53You're not sweet.
05:57I'm not sweet.
05:58I don't know.
06:00I'm sweet.
06:01I'm super sweet.
06:02But there are times when Kyara's younger,
06:06but there are times when she's younger,
06:09she's younger.
06:11So I'm younger than Kyara.
06:13Sometimes I'm younger than Kyara.
06:15I don't know.
06:16I don't know.
06:18Well, after doing this project,
06:21did it change how you look at secrets
06:22and relationships in real life?
06:24No.
06:26No.
06:27Very...
06:30Um...
06:30Ano na ako sa opinion ko about secrets
06:32in relationship eh.
06:34So, ano talaga.
06:35It's a big no talaga,
06:36dapat sa relationship.
06:37Kaya nagkaka...
06:38Kaya tayo nagkaka...
06:39Tell a serie.
06:41Kaya nagkaroon ng gulo-gulo sa Prague
06:44dahil sa secret na yan.
06:45Kumbaga yung perspective mo sa...
06:47Hindi siya nabago.
06:48Ano talaga.
06:49Mas nasupport pa dahil sa...
06:52...sa show na to.
06:53How about for you?
06:55That's hard.
06:56Um...
06:57Like, do you think men must better left unsaid
06:59ang ibang bagay?
07:12Um...
07:13Totoong love story mo si Chiara and Nicole.
07:15Like, yung buong yun.
07:17Sasabihin mo ba yung totoo sa kanya?
07:22Yes?
07:24Yeah.
07:24Sabihin mo yung totoo?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Wow.
07:27Okay.
07:28Ikaw, ask Chiara.
07:30Sa sabihin mo?
07:32Pero...
07:32Alam mo...
07:36Kapag...
07:36Kasi kung...
07:37Ang hirap sabihin nang hinwala ka si yung spoiler.
07:40Yeah, that's true.
07:40Alam mo, balikan na lang natin yan kapag ano na.
07:43Pero pag sinabi mo na wala na story.
07:45Kaya nga.
07:45That's true.
07:46Alam nga lang.
07:46Balikan natin yung tanong na to.
07:48Sa promo natin pa-ending.
07:50Pa-ending.
07:50Pa-ending.
07:51Mas pwede natin pag-usapan siya eh.
07:53Yeah.
07:53I'm sure gagawin natin ulit tapong mag-e-ending na yung mga promo-ending natin.
07:58Yeah.
07:58But from what the Pepsters have witnessed just now, parang ang intriguing nun.
08:03Like yung question ni Andrea sa'yo as Mikoy.
08:06So, we will definitely watch out for that.
08:09Now, let's talk about your career.
08:12I think you touched on this earlier, a little bit earlier.
08:16You mentioned love themes.
08:18At this point, do you still feel the need to be tied to a screen partner?
08:24Me too, no.
08:26Kasi, you're a good idea.
08:28Kasi, I'm a good choice ko din yung na hindi.
08:31So, that choice ko hindi.
08:33And feeling ko hindi ko naman kailangan.
08:37Pero minsan, nagpaisip ako kasi
08:40for the longest I'm the dream ko, yun eh.
08:42Parang, akaroon ng love theme.
08:44Kasi, I guess, what works especially here in the Philippines
08:47is like if you really want to be mainstream
08:49or if you really want to be so happy, or become a phenomenon,
08:54like, you really need to do that.
08:57And then, I realized, I think it's not for me.
09:02But I also think that I'm happy.
09:06Your achievements, you have cash, your partner,
09:10especially if, for example, your relationship is good.
09:13It's so happy.
09:14But I also think that all of my achievements,
09:18that only me, I did it all by myself.
09:21It's different from the feeling.
09:25Fulfillment.
09:26Fulfillment.
09:27But it's different.
09:28It's different.
09:28I don't compare.
09:29They say, this one's better, this one's better.
09:31I just feel like, this is my path.
09:34And I'm happy with my path.
09:39Here we go.
09:40Thanks.
09:40Both contributed to who she is now.
09:43How about for you?
09:44For me right now, no.
09:46I'm at the stage of my career right now.
09:49I don't think so.
09:51I've already done that.
09:53At 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.
10:01And, yeah.
10:02I think, you know, you have to evolve.
10:04You know?
10:04As an artist.
10:06And, so, you can't just stay the same.
10:09So, if it's a love team,
10:12maybe, possibly, but not really needed.
10:14Anyway.
10:14Mm-mm.
10:15Mm-mm.
10:16Ano sa tingyo niya yung mga pros and cons?
10:19Nang, sa love team?
10:21Um, well, pros and cons.
10:26Well, pros is, well, you know, you know each other so well,
10:29it's so easy to...
10:31I just don't know the TF4 because it's all for me.
10:34Sorry.
10:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:36It's all for you.
10:36TF4?
10:37Yeah.
10:38It's all for you.
10:39It's all for you.
10:41I mean, no big cut because it's a lot.
10:44There's no cut.
10:45I mean, that's my experience.
10:47I mean, that's my experience.
10:48Half-up?
10:48I've experienced that.
10:50Like, if I put together,
10:52like, like,
10:54just...
10:54Package deal?
10:56Just cut.
10:56It's just cut.
10:57Oh, really?
10:58It's more common.
10:59It's like that.
10:59That's my experience.
11:00I can tell you all that.
11:02Oh, okay.
11:02That was mine.
11:04I don't know.
11:04I don't know.
11:05Anyway.
11:08It's like,
11:08it's not my experience.
11:09So, happy for you.
11:11Okay, okay.
11:12Sorry.
11:12I cut you.
11:13Pros and cons.
11:15What's the pros and cons?
11:21My pros...
11:24it's more freedom than you want to do.
11:28No offense, it's more freedom than you want to do.
11:34That's true.
11:36The roles that you want to do are more versatile than you want to offer.
11:40That's right.
11:41Of course, it's also worth the fans,
11:43the fandom.
11:45Yeah, so...
11:49levels to it.
11:51Some pros to it, what I would say is, when you get to work with somebody for so long,
11:56you know each other so well.
11:59So, it's easy if the scene is a bit big,
12:01just one word, you know how to carry each other.
12:07You know how to, you know, if you don't feel it,
12:10just one thing, you know,
12:14It makes sense.
12:15That's the level of help and understanding.
12:18It's a deeper level that only that person can really bring out on you, of you.
12:25I think the only pros to it is,
12:29especially if you partner,
12:31if you partner in real life,
12:33your love team,
12:34it doesn't work anymore.
12:36It's like every day we have a date.
12:38It's like that.
12:39But with the cons,
12:43if you partner with your love team,
12:45once you get into it,
12:46then you have to say,
12:47Oh, shit!
12:49That's it!
12:50But when you're like,
12:51Oh, that's right.
12:55when you sweep the scene,
12:56then you get away.
12:58Super.
12:59Plus, it's a bit awkward.
13:00Guys, you have to sweep the scene.
13:02Then you have to call the set.
13:04It's like this one.
13:06It's like this one.
13:11Then you can do it…
13:11It's like you can do it.
13:13It's like a lot.
13:15So, it's like you can do it.
13:17It's like your two experiences.
13:19Then you're quickly open,
13:19so you can hold your hands.
13:24Ok, interesting.
13:26Diany na, Mimi.
13:27What?
13:28Can I talk to you?
13:29What do you do?
13:30Can I talk to you?
13:34You're a lot of fun.
13:37Well, about the fans.
13:40Memories bring back. Memories bring back you.
13:43You really got to know.
13:45What's it called here?
13:47Fans can get really obsessive over love teams.
13:50Do you think that's more of a pro or a con?
13:53Which is, where is it leaning more?
13:55He's just standing in the middle.
13:58He really has benefits.
14:05I think, for me,
14:08the constant control that I have a life, a person,
14:14that's the part that we all know.
14:16But the pros is,
14:18they're really for you.
14:20No matter what.
14:22They're really going to get you through sick and thin.
14:25And it's solid.
14:27You'll have such a fan,
14:29a person in your life.
14:31I think,
14:34sobrang...
14:35I don't know.
14:37You're great.
14:38You're super serious.
14:39No, because I actually got to the point
14:41that I became a super obsessive fandom.
14:49Love team.
14:49No love team 1.
14:51I didn't come from that.
14:54You're a bit too,
14:56Even if I'm a jungian person,
14:57I didn't come from that.
14:58Because I was a team in my group,
14:59at least in my group,
15:02or when I compare it.
15:04Of course,
15:05there's a selection person,
15:08but I'm not even a team in my group,
15:09because I stopped even with my group
15:12in my group,
15:13in my group.
15:13In my group,
15:15I stopped working with my group.
15:18In my group,
15:19I was still working with my group.
15:19Just a few projects, I think, before I reach that point.
15:25So I can't say.
15:27It's a different experience for you.
15:29For you.
15:31It's just a nod.
15:34Okay.
15:35Nothing to add.
15:36Nothing to add.
15:37Okay, okay.
15:38That's okay.
15:39So how do you see showbiz now?
15:42And how has your perspective as an actor evolved?
15:46Is that new in the showbiz industry?
15:50I think for the better.
15:52Definitely.
15:53Working hours.
15:55What do you call it?
15:58I think they're more open to different concepts.
16:02Yeah, that's true.
16:05They're more collaborative.
16:06They're more collaborative.
16:07That's true.
16:08Yeah.
16:09So everything's really changing.
16:11Everything's actually really evolving.
16:13Which is good.
16:14For the better.
16:14Because sometimes I want to change this magic.
16:16Because I can see it.
16:17It's like, wait.
16:18It's a little bit of what we see before.
16:22Which is really good.
16:22It's not a bad thing.
16:25So yeah.
16:26I mean, I think it's about time that we evolved from what typical projects we see coming out.
16:34That's true.
16:34So it's more edgier.
16:36Edgier.
16:36Yeah, super edgier.
16:37That's true.
16:38Good you mentioned collaborative.
16:39Because when you started with the network wars.
16:43Yeah.
16:43And now you've experienced it.
16:47You've also experienced it.
16:48You've been able to collaborate.
16:49You've been able to collaborate.
16:50Yeah.
16:51How about for you?
16:52How did you change your perspective as an actor?
16:55With what's happening in showbiz now?
16:57Exciting.
16:59I think it's almost what the people said.
17:02It's what the people said.
17:03It's what's exciting.
17:03I think it's exciting.
17:04Especially for people coming into the industry now.
17:07It's not even experienced the long hours of taping, a little bit.
17:10They're really getting caught up.
17:11They're really getting caught up.
17:13They're getting caught up.
17:14They're getting caught up.
17:14So they have no idea what we had to go through.
17:16Yeah.
17:17And...
17:18But you know what, that's also good training for us.
17:20But yes, it's true, I don't really want to do that.
17:26I feel like I became a tough cookie.
17:28It's true.
17:29And the start of your auditions, right?
17:34Yes.
17:34Now you can pick up on TikTok.
17:36Yes, I can pick up on RTM.
17:40See?
17:41No way.
17:41Yes.
17:42Wow, I can pick up.
17:44It's a bit of a drama that we don't have to worry about.
17:49But we don't have to worry about it.
17:50Ma!
17:51Ma!
17:52And then we're close.
17:54No, Ma!
17:55I'm sorry, Ma!
17:57How do you feel about how they're picking talents now?
18:04No comment?
18:06No comment?
18:08No comment?
18:08Okay, no comment.
18:09Okay.
18:10Last 10 minutes ago, I showed up.
18:12Okay, don't.
18:13We don't have to worry about it.
18:15How about you, Henry?
18:18I don't know.
18:18I mean, I believe everybody has a chance.
18:20You know, if you can...
18:21Very true.
18:22As long as they can bring something to the table.
18:26Yeah.
18:26Don't really judge anybody.
18:28That's all.
18:29I mean, as long as you can bring something to the table.
18:31You have your own personality.
18:33You bring your own flavor.
18:35That's all.
18:36That's all.
18:37At the end of the day,
18:38I realized if it's meant for you.
18:41It's meant for you.
18:41Yeah.
18:42So, there's no difference if...
18:44I'm going to pick up,
18:45I'm going to commit,
18:47or I'm going to send it to you.
18:48Yeah.
18:49Because that's the right project.
18:50You really have the passion for acting.
18:52That's true.
18:53And if you really have the passion for acting,
18:55especially if you really stay in the industry.
19:08for you.
19:08That's true.
19:10It translates on screen.
19:12When someone just wants to be an actor or actress,
19:14because they want to be famous.
19:15Yeah.
19:16Yeah.
19:16As opposed to...
19:17Yeah.
19:18Well, there's some who just really love acting.
19:20Yeah.
19:20I think that's the difference of being an actor,
19:23actress and an artista.
19:25Yeah.
19:25Yeah.
19:27So, there are other celebrities.
19:28There are other celebrities.
19:30There are other celebrities.
19:32We have a couple of actors.
19:34There are other artists.
19:35They're artists.
19:37But they're actors.
19:38But they're actors.
19:39They're actors.
19:39They're like that.
19:40Interesting.
19:42Yeah.
19:42For me, that's different.
19:42That's right.
19:43Yeah.
19:44Okay.
19:45Now, talking about your production company,
19:47are you still working in a corporate role alongside acting?
19:52Well, we usually do just Zoom meetings almost every other day.
19:57Okay.
19:58That's right.
19:58Touch base.
19:59Until we have our office.
20:01Well, we have an office in Makati.
20:02But we want to open our own just for TV and movies.
20:07Building.
20:08Building.
20:09But for now, Zoom.
20:11Zoom meeting.
20:12Building.
20:12Yeah.
20:14How about for you, Andrea?
20:19How is your business doing?
20:21Are you...
20:22Especially now, if you have a project,
20:24how do you spend your time in handling your business?
20:28I actually have a duplicate.
20:31I have a Shinojutsu.
20:35Ah, I have.
20:36That's right.
20:36That's right.
20:38That's right.
20:38That's right.
20:40That's right.
20:43I'm very supportive of my team at Lucky Beauty.
20:46And from the start,
20:47I knew that I really wasn't 100% for them.
20:53But I was a very important decision-making,
20:55I was a hands-on and present myself.
20:58Yeah.
20:58In all of the campaigns, there is also the release of every product of Lucky Beauty that comes to me.
21:08Okay, well that's good to know that aside from acting, you guys have been busy on your business and flourishing
21:14in it too.
21:16After everything you've been through, it's kind of related to the show, how has your view of love changed and
21:23do you feel any pressure or have a timeline when it comes to settling down?
21:28Oooh
