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.
01:13I don't think so.
01:14I don't think so, you know, when someone deserves the 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, like, tells other people?
01:28So, kapag may sasabihin ako, once sinabi ko na siya sa ibang tao, alam ko na, malalaman na.
01:36Malalaman na 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.
01:55Lalo bas rin.
01:56Lalo bas rin yan.
01:57Kaya nga, sure ako eh.
01:58Sana ginamit niyang tama, though.
02:00Ako nga.
02:01Minsan na iiba kasi.
02:02Sana tama yung grammar 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, well, safe to say, I know the answer to the next question.
02:23Tatanin ko sana, who is more secretive, you or your character?
02:26My character.
02:28Your character.
02:29For you then.
02:31Your characters.
02:33Kasi hindi talaga kayo.
02:35Ikaw din, Ariki, you rarely keep secrets?
02:39Yeah.
02:40Or like, you just don't hide anything?
02:42Hindi naman.
02:43I don't.
02:44Usually, nasasabi mo.
02:46Especially to the people like I'm close to.
02:48Yan, nasasabi ko.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Okay.
02:51I think, yeah.
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.
03:03Minsan na iiba or something.
03:04So, sometimes less talk is less, sorry.
03:06Ako nararamdaman ko lang yan.
03:08Problems 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.
03:16Hindi mo na narabi ko.
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 nakapagkwentuhan.
03:28More of that.
03:29Na parang, I feel like, you know, may parang, ah, napo-overshare ako.
03:33And I feel like this person's not even listening, so I kind of feel a little ashamed.
03:38Nag-aarang, ah, sana ibang lang dinaldol ko rin.
03:40Ganun yung, mas nangagaling siya.
03:42Fair.
03:42Mas embarrassment for me kaysa sa, I regret saying that that might damage my career.
03:48Parang ganun, parang ganun.
03:49Parang ganun, parang ganun.
03:50Very valid.
03:51Kasi kaya ko talagang backupan yan.
03:52And then, dali, ano yung sinabi ko, hmm.
03:55Anyway.
03:55See, ayan.
03:57Madal-dal kasi ka na yung pala-hasin.
04:00Yan, dumadal-dal na ako ulit.
04:02Okay.
04:02Okay lang yan.
04:04Well, how similar or different are you to your characters?
04:08Well, wala po akong generational wealth.
04:12Yun yung biggest difference.
04:14Biggest difference namin ni Kiara.
04:17The generational wealth.
04:21Dun palang dami na namin pinagkaiba.
04:23Wala din na mga problema niya.
04:26Thankfully, luckily, yung yaman namin.
04:30Pero character-wise and personality-wise,
04:36Paras kaming matapang eh.
04:38Paras kaming matapang.
04:39Paras kaming matapang sa pag-ibig.
04:41Ayan.
04:42As in, paras kaming fighter sa love.
04:44Paras kaming lover.
04:46Lover girl.
04:47Okay, how about you?
04:48Sa akin,
04:50halos lat kasi parang ako talaga eh.
04:52Pag may problema ka,
04:53I just try to make things lightly,
04:55look at the brighter side of things.
04:56Ako si Mr. Positive.
04:58I don't want to feel depressed,
04:59I don't want to feel sad.
05:00So, I just try to make myself happy
05:01or make other people happy
05:02parang mag-sumaya ko.
05:04Alam mo yun?
05:05Ako yung,
05:06hindi, tara, let's go,
05:07tara, enjoy tayo,
05:08kulitan tayo.
05:09You know?
05:11But I think one thing is,
05:13hindi wata kaya mag-secret
05:14dun sa mahal ko sa buhay.
05:16Okay.
05:16Ah, yeah.
05:17That's one thing.
05:18Parang,
05:19siyempre sa unang sa lahat,
05:21kahit hindi ni ma-intidin,
05:22siya yung unang pupuntahan
05:23sa sabihin ko.
05:24Yung secret to.
05:25Alam yun.
05:25True.
05:26Okay.
05:26But apart from that.
05:27But of course,
05:28siyempre,
05:28maybe sa story,
05:30and, you know,
05:30maraming layers
05:31and factors.
05:32Kaya, kaya, kaya, kaya,
05:34wala lang story.
05:35Yun na,
05:36it's just for the story.
05:38So,
05:39I think this is the biggest thing.
05:40Like,
05:41kahit ganong man kahirap,
05:43well,
05:43eventually,
05:44aami naman eh.
05:45Okay.
05:45So,
05:45pang-aspects,
05:46I think,
05:47better si Kyara
05:48kisa sakin.
05:49Like,
05:50mas,
05:50I think,
05:51mas sweet siya eh.
05:52Hila ka ka sweet?
05:53Hila ka sweet ba?
05:54Hindi ka ka sweet?
05:57I don't know.
05:59Sweet na man ako.
06:01Sweet ako,
06:01super sweet ko.
06:03Basta,
06:03may mga times
06:04na mas mabait pa si Kyara,
06:06pero may times din na,
06:09hindi siya kasi mabait.
06:11So,
06:11mas lamang ako eh,
06:12Kyara doon.
06:13At least,
06:13hindi ako,
06:14wala kang ganun.
06:16Okay,
06:16parang ganun.
06:18Well, after doing this project, did it change how you'd look at secrets and relationships in real life?
06:24No.
06:26No.
06:27Very...
06:30I don't know what my opinion about secrets in relationship.
06:34It's a big no in relationship.
06:37That's why we were talking about the series.
06:41That's why we were talking about the secrets in Prague.
06:44There's a secret.
06:45It's like your perspective.
06:47It's a new one.
06:49It's more support for this show.
06:53How about for you?
06:55That's hard.
06:57Do you think men must better left unsaid the other thing?
07:01Depending.
07:04There are some situations sometimes it does work.
07:07The only thing I want to do is if you are Mikoy,
07:11and the true love story of Kiara and Mikoy,
07:15like the whole thing,
07:16do you want to say the truth to him?
07:22Yes?
07:24Did you say the truth?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Wow.
07:26Wow.
07:27Why?
07:28You?
07:29As Kiyasa Sabina?
07:32But...
07:32What do you know?
07:36If...
07:37Because...
07:37It's hard to say,
07:38it's because it's a spoiler.
07:40Yeah, that's true.
07:40Let's go back to that.
07:42But when you say that, it's not a story.
07:45That's true.
07:46Let's go back to this question.
07:47In the promo, it's an ending.
07:50It's an ending.
07:51It's an ending.
07:51It's an ending.
07:52We can talk about it.
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.
08:12I 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 a good one.
08:29I've also been a long time.
08:30I've also been a long time.
08:31So,
08:32because I don't have choice,
08:33because I don't have a feeling,
08:34because I don't have a need.
08:37But...
08:38I sometimes think about it.
08:39Because for the longest time,
08:41that's my dream.
08:42It's like a love team.
08:44Because, I guess,
08:45what works,
08:46especially here in the Philippines,
08:48is like if you really want to be mainstream,
08:50or if you really want to be so cool,
08:52or be phenomenal,
08:54you really need to do that.
08:57And then,
08:58I realized,
08:59I think it's not for me.
09:03But I'm really happy.
09:04I really hope that
09:06your achievements,
09:07you have to share,
09:08you have to be together.
09:10Especially if,
09:11for example,
09:12your relationship is good.
09:13It's really good.
09:14But,
09:15I'm also happy that
09:16all of my achievements,
09:18that I'm only one.
09:19I did it all by myself.
09:21It's different.
09:24It's different.
09:25It's different.
09:25Fulfillment.
09:26Fulfillment.
09:27But it's different.
09:28It's different.
09:28I don't compare.
09:29It's different.
09:30It's different.
09:31I just feel like,
09:32this is my path.
09:33And,
09:34I'm happy,
09:36my path.
09:39Here we go.
09:40Thanks.
09:41Both contributed to Hushes.
09:43How about for you?
09:44For me right now?
09:45No.
09:46At 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.
10:00really.
10:01Yeah.
10:01And, yeah.
10:02I think, you know,
10:03you have to evolve, you 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
10:19of the love team?
10:23Well,
10:24pros and cons.
10:26Well, pros is,
10:27well, you know,
10:28you know each other so well
10:29that it's so easy to...
10:31I'm just trying to sell
10:32the TF for me
10:33because it's all for me.
10:35So,
10:35the pros.
10:36All for TF for me?
10:37I don't know.
10:38Yeah.
10:38It's all for TF.
10:41I mean,
10:41it's not a big cut
10:42because it's a lot.
10:44I mean,
10:45that's so good.
10:46That's my experience.
10:47Huh?
10:48That's so good.
10:48I've experienced that.
10:50Like,
10:51if I put together,
10:52it's like
10:53just
10:54a package deal.
10:55It's like a cut.
10:57Really?
10:58It's like that.
10:59That's the experience.
11:00I can tell you all
11:01that.
11:02That was mine.
11:04I don't know.
11:04To you.
11:05I don't know.
11:06To you.
11:07It's like
11:08that's not the experience.
11:09So, happy for you.
11:11Okay.
11:12Sorry.
11:12I cut you.
11:13Pros and cons.
11:15What are the pros and cons?
11:17My pros...
11:25I don't know.
11:26I just have a freedom.
11:27No offense.
11:28I have a freedom
11:29for what you want to do.
11:31The job.
11:33The job.
11:34That's true.
11:35But it's not...
11:37the roles that you're offering.
11:39That's all.
11:41That's it.
11:41That's all.
11:42I remember the fans
11:42because I remember.
11:43The fans.
11:44The fandom.
11:45Yeah.
11:46There are a lot
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.
13:04Oh, that's it.
13:06It's like,
13:08you can't wait.
13:09It's like you're going to see.
13:10Yeah, you can't wait.
13:11I know they've experienced it.
13:13They've experienced it.
13:15They've experienced it.
13:16They've experienced it.
13:16Because they're not going to leave you
13:19and you're going to hold your hands.
13:24Okay.
13:25Interesting.
13:26We're in Miami.
13:27I don't know what to say.
13:29I don't know what to say.
13:30That's what I'm talking about.
13:35You're a lot.
13:38About the fans.
13:40Memories bring back. Memories bring back you.
13:43You really made it.
13:45What do you call this?
13:47Fans 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?
13:55He's just standing in the middle.
13:58He really has benefits.
14:01And he really has no.
14:05I think for me,
14:07because of course,
14:09the constant control that I have a life, a human being.
14:14That's the part that we 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 sin.
14:25And it's solid.
14:27You'll have such fans in your life.
14:32I think,
14:35sobrang...
14:35I don't know.
14:37You're right.
14:38You're right.
14:38Super serious.
14:39I'm not so sure.
14:39Actually,
14:40I was able to get into that point that I was super...
14:44I was able to get into that
14:46super obsessive fandom
14:48and a love team.
14:50I don't know.
14:51I'm not able to get into that point.
14:54I'm not able to get into that point.
14:54Did you know that?
14:56I don't know.
14:57I don't know.
14:57I don't know.
14:58I really like the love team of people in my pick.
14:59I don't know.
15:00At least,
15:01If I compare it to the standards, of course, with Liz Ken, I didn't do that because I stopped for
15:11a long time in my love team.
15:15I stopped for a long time in my love team.
15:18And a few projects.
15:20A few projects, I think, before I reached that point.
15:25So, I can't say. It's a different experience with you.
15:32It'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?
15:47Is it 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 they're more open to different concepts.
16:02Yeah.
16:03That's true.
16:03They're more open.
16:04Yeah.
16:05They're more collaborative.
16:06They're more collaborative.
16:07That's true.
16:08Yeah.
16:09So, everything's really changing.
16:10Everything's actually really evolving.
16:13For the better.
16:14That's why I want to turn it back to the magic.
16:16Because I can see it.
16:18It's a bit more.
16:19It's a bit more.
16:20It's a bit more.
16:21It's a bit more.
16:22It's a bit more.
16:22It's not a bad thing.
16:25Yeah.
16:26So, yeah.
16:26I mean, I think it's about time then.
16:27That we evolved from.
16:29Yeah.
16:30You know.
16:31Good you mentioned.
16:32What 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.
16:38That's true.
16:38Good you mentioned collaborative.
16:40Because when you started it,
16:41the network wars are still a lot.
16:43Yeah.
16:43And now,
16:45you also experienced it.
16:47It's a lot of collaboration.
16:49It's a lot of collaboration.
16:50Yeah.
16:51How about for you?
16:52How do you change your perspective as an actor?
16:55With what's happening in showbiz now?
16:57Exciting, man.
16:59I think it's exciting.
17:01Yeah.
17:03I think it's exciting.
17:03Especially for people coming into the industry now.
17:07They've never experienced the long hours of taping.
17:09They don't want to sleep.
17:11They're really excited.
17:13They're really excited.
17:14They're really excited.
17:14So, they have no idea what we had to go through.
17:17Yeah.
17:18But you know what?
17:19That's also good training.
17:20For us.
17:21But yes.
17:21To the truth,
17:22I don't really want to do that.
17:26Yeah.
17:26I really feel like I'm a tough cookie.
17:29The truth.
17:29And the start of my experience.
17:31The start of your audition, right?
17:34Yes.
17:34Right now, you pick on TikTok.
17:36That's right.
17:37I'm still picking on the LRTM.
17:40See?
17:41No way.
17:41Yes.
17:42I'm really picking on the LRTM.
17:44It's a bit of drama.
17:47We're not going to get rid of my mom's family.
17:49Then we're not going to get rid of it.
17:51I'm not going to get rid of it.
17:52And then we're going to get rid of it.
17:53And then we're going to get rid of it.
17:54No, mom.
17:55I'm not going to get rid of it.
17:57How do you feel about how they're picking talents now?
18:04No comment.
18:06No comment.
18:08Okay.
18:08No comment.
18:09Okay.
18:10Okay.
18:10Last time a season ago,
18:11I was going to show you.
18:12Okay.
18:13Okay.
18:14Okay.
18:15I don't know.
18:18I believe everybody has a chance.
18:20Fair 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,
18:30as 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 good.
18:37At the end of the day,
18:38I wonder if it's meant for you.
18:41It's meant for you.
18:41It's meant for you.
18:42It's meant for you.
18:46Or that's why I just sent you.
18:48Because that's the right project,
18:50you really need to look for you.
18:52That's true.
18:53That's true.
18:53And if you really have the passion for acting,
18:55especially if you really stay in the industry.
18:58That's true.
18:58It's not just doing it in Hollywood.
19:00They send them tapes.
19:02Yeah.
19:02I think, you know,
19:03you just follow what you want
19:06and everything will always fall in the right place for you.
19:08I think it's also being released
19:10or it translates on screen
19:12when someone just wants to be an actor or actress
19:14because they want to be famous.
19:15Yeah.
19:16As opposed to...
19:18Yeah.
19:18Well, there's some who just really love acting.
19:20Yeah.
19:20I think that's the difference of being an actor or actress
19:23and an artista.
19:25Yeah.
19:25Para sa amin.
19:26Iba yung may iba.
19:28So, yabang may mga...
19:29May slang talaga kami.
19:31Meron kaming linggo na actor, actress.
19:34Iba yung artista.
19:35Kasi siya artista ang artista.
19:37Pero ito, actor.
19:38Isang actress.
19:39Parang ganun po.
19:40Yeah.
19:41So...
19:41For me, iba kasi yun eh.
19:43Mm-mm.
19:44Okay.
19:45Talking about your production company,
19:47are you still working in a corporate role alongside acting?

20:42Well...
20:43Very supportive din kasi yung team ko sa Lucky Beauty.
20:46And from the start, alam na nila na hindi ako talaga makakapag 100% sa kanila.
20:52Pero sa lahat ng importanteng decision-making, hands-on ako and present po ako.
20:59Sa lahat ng campaigns, sa lahat pa rin ang nare-release ng bawat product ng Lucky Beauty galing pa rin
