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 just feel the need from me.
01:14It's better for me, too.
01:16If anyone deserves to see this version of me.
01:19Or whatever.
01:21But...
01:21I don't really keep secrets.
01:23So you don't mind if the person you told to, like, tells other people?
01:28Yeah, I know.
01:29When someone's saying, once I'll be telling them to other people.
01:32I don't know...
01:34I know...
01:35They'll know.
01:35They'll know people.
01:37Or like, I make sure that...
01:38What I say, I can back up, or I can say to myself,
01:45oh yeah, you said that, you want to talk about it.
01:48It's like that.
01:49Yeah, I think it's the same.
01:51Especially when you're in the showbiz, I'm sure I'm sure that
01:54that's what I said to you.
01:55Especially when you're in the showbiz.
01:56Especially when you're in the showbiz.
01:57That's why I'm sure I'm sure.
01:58Why do you use it right though?
02:00Yes.
02:01Sometimes it's different.
02:02It's different from grammar.
02:03Sometimes it's different from grammar.
02:04That's the problem.
02:05You don't have to worry about it, or you don't have to worry about it.
02:09I'm just like that, even in my private life.
02:12I think you just have to really be careful.
02:14Just don't trust anybody.
02:18Just be very wary.
02:20Well, 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.
02:29For you then.
02:30My character.
02:31Your characters, right?
02:32Yes.
02:33Because you're not really.
02:34You also, Enrique, do you rarely keep secrets?
02:38Um, yeah.
02:40Or like, you just don't hide anything?
02:43I don't.
02:44Usually, especially to the people I'm close to.
02:48Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
02:49Yeah.
02:51Okay.
02:51I think, yeah.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Sometimes, there's times where you just kept your mouth shut.
02:57But like, you know.
02:58Do you have any kind of stuff like that?
03:00Of course, because sometimes you're naive or something.
03:03So, sometimes less talk is less book.
03:06Sorry.
03:06Less, you know, problems then eh.
03:09I don't actually, I only feel that, kapag nararamdaman ko na the person's not listening,
03:14then now I'm not listening.
03:15Sana pala hindi na ang nakapagkwentuhan.
03:16Hindi mo na na sabi.
03:18But, 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.
03:26Sana pala hindi na ang nakapagkwentuhan.
03:28More of that.
03:29Na parang, I feel like, ah, napo overshare ako.
03:33And I feel like this person's not even listening, so I kind of feel a little ashamed.
03:38I feel like, ah, sana ibang lang din nalodaw ko rin.
03:41Ganun 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 wala naman ako ganun.
03:50Very valid.
03:51Oh, kasi kaya ko talagang backup pa niya.
03:52Nandali, ano yung sinabi ko?
03:54Hmm.
03:55Anyway.
03:56See?
03:56Ayan.
03:57Madal-dal kasi kami parayas.
04:00Ayan, 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.
04:12Yon ang biggest difference.
04:15Biggest difference namin ni Kiara.
04:17The generational wealth.
04:18Hindi ako kasi niya mo ni Kiara.
04:21Doon palang dami na namin pinakaiba.
04:23Wala din ang mga problema niya.
04:25Ayan.
04:27Thankfully, luckily, yung yaman namin.
04:31Pero 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?
04:50Halos 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.
04:56Ayan, Mr. Positive.
04:58Ayoko mafeel depressed.
04:59Ayoko mafeel sad.
05:00So, I was trying to make myself happy or make other people happy.
05:03Parang mag-sumaya ko.
05:04Alam mo yun?
05:05Ako yung, hindi tara, let's go.
05:07Tara, enjoy tayo.
05:08Kulitan tayo.
05:09You know?
05:10Um, but I think one thing is, hindi wata kayo mag-secretan sa mahal ko sa buhay.
05:15Okay.
05:16Ah, okay.
05:17That's one thing, one thing.
05:18Parang, siyempre sa una sa lahat, hindi maintidin, siya yung unang pupuntahan sa sabihin ko.
05:24Yung sikreto.
05:25Alam yun.
05:25True.
05:26Okay.
05:26But apart from that…
05:28Siyempre, baby sa story and, you know, maraming layers and factors.
05:32Wait, wait.
05:33Wala lang story.
05:35Wala lang story.
05:35Yun na nga.
05:36It's just for the story.
05:37It's just for the story.
05:38So, I think this is the biggest thing.
05:40Like, kahit ganong man kahirap.
05:43Well, eventually, ahami naman eh.
05:45Okay.
05:45But…
05:46Aspects, I think better, si Kiara, isa sakin.
05:49Like, mas…
05:50I think, mas sweet siya eh.
05:52Hindi ka mas sweet?
05:53I'm not sweet ako.
05:54Hindi ka mas sweet?
05:57I don't know.
05:59I don't know.
06:00Sweet naman ako.
06:01Sweet ako, super sweet ko.
06:03Basta, may mga times na mas mabait pa si Kiara.
06:06Ah, okay.
06:07Pero may times din na, hindi siya kasi mabait.
06:11So, mas lamang ako eh, Kiara doon.
06:13At least, hindi ako…
06:14Wala akong ganon, okay?
06:16Alam ganon.
06:18Okay.
06:19Well, after doing this project, did it change how you'd look at secrets and relationships in real life?
06:24No.
06:26No.
06:27Very…
06:30Um…
06:30Ano na ako sa opinion ko about secrets in relationship eh.
06:34So, ano talaga.
06:35It's a big no talaga dapat sa relationship.
06:37Kaya nagkakagul…
06:39Kaya tayo nagka…
06:39Tell serya eh.
06:41No.
06:41Kaya nagkaroon ng gulo-gulo sa prog.
06:44Dahil sa secret na yan.
06:45Kung bagay yung perspective mo sa…
06:47Hindi siya nabago.
06:48Ano talaga?
06:49Mas…
06:49Mas…
06:50Na-support pa dahil sa…
06:51Yes.
06:51Ha…
06:52Ha…
06:52Sa show na to.
06:53How about for you?
06:55That's hard.
06:56Um…
06:57Like, do you think men must better left unsaid ang ibang bagay?
07:00Uh…
07:02Depending.
07:02Depending.
07:04Uh…
07:04There's some situations sometimes…
07:06It does work.
07:07I don't know.
07:08If…
07:09If…
07:10Ikaw nga si Meikoy…
07:12At…
07:12Si…
07:13Totoong love story mo si Kiara and Meikoy…
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…
07:28Uy…
07:28Ikaw?
07:29As Kiara sa sabihin mo.
07:30Yeah, that's true.
07:31But, what do you know?
07:36If...
07:36No, because...
07:37It's hard to say that it's not a spoiler.
07:40Yeah, that's true.
07:40You know, let'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.
07:48In our promo, it's an ending.
07:50It's an ending.
07:51We can talk more about it.
07:53I'm sure we'll do it again with the promo ending.
07:57Yeah.
07:58But, from what the Pepsters have witnessed just now, it's like 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, 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, no.
08:25No.
08:26You're a little bit longer.
08:28Because I'm a little bit too much.
08:30I have no choice.
08:31Because I'm not a choice, I don't feel the need to be needed.
08:35But sometimes I think, because for the longest time, that's my dream.
08:42It's like a love theme.
08:44Because what works, especially here in the Philippines,
08:48is if you really want to be mainstream, or want to be really warm, or be phenomenal,
08:54you really need to do that.
08:57And then I realized, I think it's not for me.
09:02But I also realized that your achievements, you can share, you can share, you can share,
09:09especially if, for example, your relationship is good.
09:14But I also realized that all of my achievements, I did it all by myself.
09:21It's different from the feeling.
09:26Fulfillment.
09:27But it's different from others.
09:28It's different from others.
09:28I didn't compare it to others who said, 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.
09:41Both contributed to who she is now.
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.
09:50I've done all of that.
09:52At this point, with the projects I want to do and moving forward, that's not really my radar.
10:01Yeah.
10:01And yeah, I think you have to evolve as an artist.
10:07So you can't just stay the same.
10:08So if it's another love team, maybe, possibly, but not really needed.
10:15What are the pros and cons of the love team?
10:23Well, pros and cons.
10:26Well, pros is, you know each other so well that it's so easy to…
10:31I just don't know the TF for me because it's all for you.
10:34Oh, yeah.
10:35The pros.
10:36The TF for me is all for you.
10:38Yeah.
10:38It's all for you.
10:40It's all for you.
10:41I mean, there's no big cut because…
10:44There's no cut.
10:45There's no cut.
10:45I mean…
10:45That's my experience.
10:47Huh?
10:48Half-up?
10:48That's my experience.
10:50Like if I put together, like…
10:54Package deal?
10:56Just cut.
10:57Really?
10:58That's my experience.
11:00It's not my experience.
11:00It's not my experience.
11:01It's not my experience.
11:02It was mine.
11:03I don't know.
11:05It's for you.
11:05It's for you.
11:07It's not my experience.
11:09So happy for you.
11:11Okay.
11:12Sorry.
11:12Let's go.
11:13No, go.
11:14Pros and cons.
11:15What's the pros and cons?
11:20Um…
11:20My pros…
11:24There's more freedom.
11:27No offense.
11:28There's more freedom.
11:29In the way of doing projects.
11:31In the way of choosing projects.
11:34In the way of doing projects.
11:34That's true.
11:35That's true.
11:35Like…
11:35Not it's…
11:37The roles that offer more versatile.
11:39That's right.
11:41That's all.
11:41That's all.
11:42The fans are very excited.
11:43The fans.
11:44The fandom.
11:45Which you know…
11:46Yeah.
11:46So there's a lot of…
11:49Um…
11:49Levels to it.
11:51Yeah.
11:51Some pros to it, when you get to work with somebody for so long, you know each other so well.
11:59So, it's easy if you look at the scene, just one word, you know how to carry each other.
12:07You know how to, you know, if you don't feel it, just one thing.
12:13It's different.
12:14It makes sense.
12:18It's a deeper level that only that person can really bring out on you, of you.
12:25I think, it's a different level.
12:26The only pros there is, especially if you partner.
12:31If you partner in real life, your love team doesn't work.
12:36It's like every day we have a date.
12:38It's like that.
12:39But with the cons, if you partner with your love team, you have to say,
12:46then you have to say,
12:47Oh, shit!
12:48I have to say that.
12:50But when you're like,
12:51Oh, that's right.
12:55When you sweep the scene, you get away.
12:58Super, super.
12:59Plus, it's kind of weird.
13:00Guys, you have to sweep the scene.
13:02Then you have to call the scene.
13:04But one, there's no way to do it.
13:07Because, because you're not aware.
13:09Oh, I don't know.
13:11I'm aware.
13:12You've experienced those two.
13:13You've experienced them both.
13:15Because, you're not aware of that.
13:18But you're taking care of that.
13:18And suddenly, you're taking care of that.
13:19So, you're holding hands.
13:24Okay.
13:25Interesting.
13:26Yes, Mimi.
13:27What?
13:28I don't know.
13:29I don't know.
13:31I don't know.
13:34You're a lot.
13:36There.
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.
13:50Super, super.
13:50Do you think that's more of a pro or a con?
13:53Which is, where is it leaning more?
13:55He's only in the middle, I think.
13:58Yeah.
13:58He really has benefits.
14:02And he really has no.
14:05I think for me,
14:07because of course,
14:09the constant control that I have a life, a person.
14:14That's the part that we all know.
14:16But the pros is,
14:18it's really where they are for you.
14:20No matter what.
14:22It's really where they are.
14:24Through Sick and Sin.
14:25And it's solid to have such fans in your life.
14:31I think.
14:33Sobrang.
14:35I don't know.
14:37You're right.
14:38You're right.
14:38You're right.
14:39I'm not.
14:39I actually got to know the point of the time,
14:44I got a super obsessive fandom,
14:49the love team.
14:50That's the love team.
14:51That's why I got to know that.
14:52Because it's not that I got to know.
14:58and my love team, at least in the standards,
15:04of course, with Liz Ken,
15:08I didn't do that because I stopped for a long time,
15:12in my love team.
15:14In 17, 18, I stopped for a long time.
15:18And a few projects?
15:20A few projects, I think.
15:22Before I reached that point.
15:24Yeah.
15:25So, I can't say.
15:26I've had a different experience with you.
15:29With 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.
15:52Okay.
15:52The working hours.
15:55What do you call it?
15:58I think they're more open to different concepts.
16:02Yeah.
16:03That's true.
16:03The more open.
16:04Yeah.
16:05The more collaborative.
16:06The 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 true.
16:25That's true.
16:31That's true.
16:39That's true.
16:41The more network wars.
16:43Yeah.
16:43And now, you've experienced it.
16:47You've also been able to collaborate with them.
16:49That's true.
16:50Yeah.
16:51How about for you?
16:52How did your perspective change as an actor?
16:55With what's happening in showbiz now?
16:57Exciting.
16:59I think it's exciting.
17:04Especially for people coming into the industry now.
17:07They don't experience long hours of taping.
17:09I don't want to do that.
17:10They'll be able to do that.
17:14Yeah.
17:14So, they have no idea what we had to go through.
17:16Yeah.
17:17And...
17:18But you know what?
17:19That's also good training.
17:20For us.
17:20So...
17:21But yes.
17:21To the truth, I don't even know what I want to do.
17:26Yeah.
17:26I feel like I'm a tough cookie.
17:28To the truth.
17:29And the start of my life.
17:31The start of your auditions.
17:34Right?
17:34Yes.
17:35I picked up on TikTok.
17:36That's right.
17:37I picked up on RTM.
17:40See?
17:40No way.
17:41Yes.
17:42I picked up.
17:43I picked up on RTM.
17:44Oh.
17:44It's a bit of drama.
17:46We're not...
17:47We're not...
17:49We're not...
17:49We're not...
17:49But we're not...
17:50Ma!
17:51Ma!
17:52Ma!
17:52Then we're close.
17:54No, ma!
17:55It's so nice.
17:57How do you feel about how they're picking talents now?
18:04No comment?
18:06No comment?
18:07No comment?
18:08Okay.

18:15No comment.
18:16No comment.
18:17I don't know.
18:18I believe everybody has a chance.
18:21True.
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 all.
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.
18:42So there's no difference if...
18:44I'm going to pick up,
18:45I'm going to commit,
18:47or I'm just going to send it.
18:48Yeah.
18:49Because that's the right project.
18:50You really need to find me for you.
18:52That's true.
18:53And if you really have the passion for acting,
18:55especially if you stay in the industry.
18:58That's true.
18:59It's not just 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.
19:08I think it's also released because that 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...
19:17Yeah.
19:18Well, there's some who just really love acting.
19:20Yeah.
19:20I think that's the difference of being an actor, actress,
19:24an artist.
19:25Yeah.
19:25Yes.
19:26There are other celebrities.
19:28There are other celebrities.
19:30There are other celebrities.
19:34There are other celebrities.
19:35There are other celebrities.
19:36There are other artists.
19:37There are other artists.
19:37But this is an actor.
19:38There are other actors.
19:39It's like that.
19:40Interesting.
19:42Yeah.
19:42For me, that's different.
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.
19:54Almost every other day.
19:57Okay.

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, like,
20:04just for TV and movies.

20:42Very supportive, because my team is very supportive.
20:46And from the start, they know that I'm not 100% on them.
20:52But in all of the important decisions-making,
20:55I'm hands-on and present.
20:58Yeah.
20:59So that's right.
20:59In all of the campaigns,
21:01and in all of the release of every product of Lucky Beauty,
21:05it's still coming to me.
