00:00I said, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it.
00:04I didn't dream of being an artist.
00:09I know acting is acting, but sometimes there are scenes that I don't feel.
00:20You've been a long time for a TV show, no?
00:22Yes, it's been a long time.
00:24I think it was 2019, almost 6 years ago.
00:26Why?
00:28The pandemic.
00:29We had an existing show then.
00:31Then, of course, we had to cut it short because of the uncertainty of times.
00:36We were a bit hard on taping.
00:39There were a lot of cast members who were either underage or over the safe age to work during those
00:46times.
00:47So, it just didn't make sense to continue the show.
00:50So, we made the hard decision to cut it short.
00:53So, after that, everything was reset.
00:55My world turned out.
00:57The fast-paced life at showbiz.
01:00And in a way, parang na-enjoy ko masyado yung pagpapahinga sa bahay.
01:06Makasama ko yung time go with my family.
01:09And, parang ayaw ko nang bumalik sa fast-paced life at showbiz life.
01:15You know?
01:16Kasi, parang for how many years?
01:18Yung yun yung ginagawa mo.
01:19Yung yun yung ginagawa mo.
01:19Almost half of my life yun yung ginagawa.
01:21Ping lang tumigil.
01:22Na parang, wow!
01:24Ang sarap ng feeling.
01:25And I think, blessing in disguise yun.
01:28In a way, na nakasama ko yung family ko.
01:32Kasi, little did I know, after ng pandemic, mag-aasawa na yung kapat.
01:37Yung kuya ko, umalis na sa bahay.
01:39Yung sister ko, nag-migrate na sa Spain.
01:42So, I think, sakto lang yung time na ilang 2-3 years na magkakasama kami.
01:47Parang, in a way, I was looking at it as a blessing ni Lord.
01:50Kasi, nawala din ako matagal ng oras at time sa family ko eh.
01:54Kahit sa birthdays yun na, hindi ako nakakasama.
01:57Minsan, nakakalimutan ako na college na pala yung kapatid mong babae.
02:01Di ba, high school ka pala?
02:02So, college na ako.
02:03So, oh my gosh!
02:04Alam mo yun?
02:05Parang, biglang nag-slow down.
02:07You know?
02:08Nag-normalize yung buhay.
02:10So, ayoko nang bumalik.
02:11So, sabi ko, ayoko.
02:13Naramdaman kang ganun?
02:14Nag-normalize bigla.
02:15So, sabi ko, ayoko na.
02:16Ayoko nang bumalik.
02:18Tsaka na, mababurnout ka rin po eh.
02:21In a way.
02:22At the time, parang, inisip ko nga gusto kang mag-tumiro sa US
02:25kasi I was staying there for quite some time din.
02:28So, inisip ko, kahit dito na lang siguro,
02:30ituloy ko yung pagbe-build and sell sa Manila.
02:32Tapos, kahit magharap na lang ako ng normal job sa Amerika.
02:35Ano mo yung, kahit ganun okay lang ako,
02:37basta tahimik yung buhay.
02:39I was at that state na.
02:41Pero, siguro at that time,
02:43iwan ko.
02:43I was just finding a way to escape.
02:45Why? I mean, is it because burnout lang?
02:48I think so.
02:49I think it was that also.
02:50I think when it's too much,
02:52kahit nai-enjoy mo, parang,
02:55it's not as good for you, you know,
02:57as a human being.
02:58I think it's too much.
03:00Kasi sa simula,
03:02I didn't really want to become the Herman Dream maging artist eh.
03:05You know, I just had an opportunity
03:07to work at a young age.
03:09Kaya I had to stop school,
03:11para makatulong sa mom ko.
03:12Because my dad passed away.
03:14Tsaka that time nung sinagsimula ko,
03:15hindi naman sure kung may mangyayari.
03:17Pero, nung biglang nagpipick up,
03:19ayun, nakakatulong kayo yung mama,
03:20hanggat sa,
03:22sabi ni mama,
03:23kaya na-retire na ako.
03:24O ano? Sige ma, retire ka na.
03:26Pwede na.
03:26Alam mo yun?
03:27So, ayun.
03:29Siguro naging blessing lang.
03:31Super blessing.
03:32So, I just went with the flow.
03:33You know.
03:34Pero na-enjoy ko naman eventually,
03:35hindi siyempre.
03:36I wouldn't stay, I think,
03:37as long for,
03:38kung miserable naman ako dito.
03:40It was not, parang,
03:42mental health or something,
03:43but you simply enjoyed that break.
03:46Tama ba?
03:46I think it's also a part,
03:47na, for your mental na,
03:49alam mo yun?
03:51Too much ano eh,
03:52ah, tawag dito.
03:54Ah,
03:55anong man exposure,
03:56pero,
03:57I don't know how to say it.
03:59May term ako, hindi ko nang masaabi eh.
04:01Pero, how did you snap out of that?
04:03Yes.
04:03What made you say,
04:04ay, I have to stop this
04:05and,
04:06move forward?
04:07Um,
04:09it was a really,
04:09a weird time for me eh.
04:11I had a really,
04:11I was really in a really long relationship
04:13and then,
04:13it also ended.
04:16So, sabi ko,
04:17you know,
04:17I think,
04:18so I was in Spain,
04:19sabi ko,
04:20you know what,
04:22may something akong,
04:23there was something missing.
04:25I've been dodging projects
04:26left and right,
04:26it just didn't feel right to me
04:28to do a project like this
04:29and ganon, sabi ko.
04:30So,
04:31bakit wala akong,
04:32gustong tanglapin,
04:33in a way.
04:34Deep inside,
04:34ayaw ko rin talagang bumalik at that time.
04:37Pero,
04:37deep inside sabi ko,
04:38parang may kulang,
04:39I can't just leave
04:40yung,
04:40ganon lang.
04:42Parang may gusto ko din akong iwan
04:44sa industriya,
04:46na,
04:46kaya nalakiat ko rin,
04:47diba?
04:48So, sabi ko,
04:49I wanna give back,
04:49not only to the fans,
04:51pero,
04:53wala lang lang ng step away eh.
04:54No announcement,
04:56nothing.
04:57Parang,
04:57actually yung pandemic was a perfect escape
05:01for me.
05:02Kasi,
05:03kahit wala pang pandemic na yun,
05:04during that last show,
05:05parang may gano'ng nga akong feeling,
05:06napakaramdam eh.
05:07Parang,
05:08naging jaded na yung lobe ko.
05:10I don't know.
05:10I was fearing na,
05:12bakit it might affect my acting as well.
05:13Alam ko acting sa acting,
05:14pero minsan kasi,
05:15kailangan totoo eh.
05:16So, minsan may mga eksena na,
05:18hindi ko na feel,
05:19nakikita ni Direkati yun.
05:21So, sabi ko,
05:22ay, ito na yun.
05:23Ito yung,
05:24naglumalabas yung,
05:25what I was feeling in the inside.
05:27Pabalita dati, diba?
05:28Na,
05:29you're among the first
05:30na dapat lilipat sa GMA7.
05:33Tapa ba yun?
05:34Or,
05:35was that just a rumor?
05:37Well,
05:38I didn't have a contract with APS,
05:39so,
05:40you know,
05:41me and my manager were just,
05:42you know,
05:43keeping our options open.
05:46Of course,
05:46at that time,
05:47APS was still,
05:48our number one.
05:49But,
05:50we weren't really sure
05:50what was gonna happen
05:51at super uncertain times,
05:52especially with all the,
05:53the shutdown and everything.
05:55So,
05:56at the end of the day,
05:58as much as they're,
05:59they're my family,
06:00I grew up with them,
06:00it's still a business,
06:02diba?
06:02So,
06:05yeah.
06:05So,
06:06that was,
06:06it was really,
06:07so we're just keeping our options open.
06:09I think that's just the smartest thing to do
06:11during that time.
06:12But,
06:12you came back as a producer,
06:14you came back as a producer,
06:15you came back as a producer,
06:16you were acting in movies.
06:18Yes,
06:19I was in Spain,
06:20my friend,
06:22Mark Angos,
06:23who's a writer
06:24of all my TV shows
06:25on the ABS.
06:26So,
06:27I called him,
06:28I said,
06:28how are you?
06:29I said,
06:29how are you?
06:30I said,
06:31how are you?
06:31I said,
06:32maybe we can talk about something.
06:37And then,
06:37you know,
06:38nagkikita kami dito,
06:39sabi ko,
06:39tara,
06:39balik kaya tayo.
06:40So,
06:41why don't we do our own production?
06:43I just,
06:43you know,
06:44kaya ko yung mga pinipit sa akin eh,
06:46gawa tayo ng sarili natin,
06:47kung anong gusto mo.
06:48And doon na nagsimula lahat na,
06:50okay.
06:50And doon din yung gusto ko na,
06:52may gusto kong iwan dito sa industriya,
06:54is production,
06:55kahit,
06:56wala na po ako sa harap ng camera,
06:58kahit behind the camera na lang,
06:59nagproproduce pa rin kami ng entertainment
07:01na,
07:02diba,
07:02nagbibigay pa rin kami ng entertainment
07:03sa mga manon.

07:15and gave me and my family what we have.
07:17More than that,
07:18also the fans,
07:19you know.

07:24I get to control my,
07:27my projects,
07:28kung anong gusto kong puntahan,
