PeopleTranscript
00:01When we were discussing who best to headline our cover this month, one name kept popping up and we're very
00:12very happy and glad that he said yes.
00:15So without further ado, we wanted to say a big big welcome to our cover star, Mr. Ding Dong Gladys.
00:38Okay, thank you PJ and Ding Dong, welcome.
00:42Now that you're here with us, let's take a quick moment for our photo op before we open the floor
00:47to questions.
01:00Over here, look here please. There you go.
01:25Okay, thank you PJ and Ding Dong, please take your seats.
01:28Now I know you all have plenty of questions for us today, so let's get started.
01:34I have a list of everyone here, so I'll be calling on you one by one.
01:40And when you hear your name, just please go ahead and ask your question.
01:43The first one being Kate Adahar from Random Republica.
01:51Hi, good afternoon and congratulations.
01:54So the team is Modern Filipino Gentlemen. What for you is the meaning of that? And can you identify with
02:00that?
02:01Hi. Happy Father's Day sa inyo mga air mats.
02:06Kailan mga Father's Day?
02:0821.
02:1021.
02:12So what does it mean for me or what does it mean to be that?
02:1621.
02:2222.
02:2322.
02:2822.
02:3022.
02:3122.
02:3222.
02:3222.
02:3322.
02:3422.
02:3422.
02:3822.
02:4122.
02:4322.
02:47through service and maybe someone who keeps his values despite the fast-changing world that we have right now.
02:56And for my second question, we've seen you as EGIS-based, parang heartthrob ka na until now.
03:04Through the years, how do you take care of yourself? Maskin care ka din ba?
03:08And also nabagit na kasi kanina na it's male mental health upon.
03:13How do you also take care of your mental health? So physical and mental health?
03:17Well, siyempre, malaking factor ang ang role ng aking misis sa pag-aanaga. Totoo yan.
03:24Even my kids, they also take care of me. Once in a while, they ask,
03:28Hey, Dad, how are you? Kamusta ka? Huwi akong puyad?
03:31Oh, nakakain? Nakatulog ka na ba? Nakakain ka na ba?
03:36Pero siyempre, yung mga the usual rituals, I think yun pa rin yung pinakakainan natin, the basics.
03:42Like for example, yung pinakabasic dyan is we really have to take care of our health.
03:47Napakalaga talaga ng kanusugan.
03:49Dalo ko yun, nasa 40s ako, in my mid-40s already.
03:55Syempre, we always want to be strong for our loved ones.
03:59We always want to be strong so that we can be present sa aking trabaho.
04:04Diba? So, makakalaga talaga yung alagaan yung saliling kanusugan.
04:10Sleep.
04:11Having the right amount of sleep, maybe.
04:13And the hotels.
04:14Yung last thing, mental well-being.
04:17Sa mental well-being.
04:20Mahalaga talaga na may awareness ka sa pagbalansin ng lahat.
04:25Hindi lang pwedeng puro trabaho.
04:27Hindi lang pwedeng wala kang ginagawa to keep yourself busy.
04:33Parang may may gawin ng mahalaga para sa pamilya mo.
04:36But it's always important to strike that balance.
04:39Kaya para sa akin, I really treat my weekends very sacredly.
04:45Hanggat maaari sana, wala akong bang iniisip walang ginagawa.
04:50Pero medyo, bihira rin masunod.
04:53Pero at the very least, yun yung mga Sundays.
04:55And when I do not have work, like taping, o kaya,
05:00hindi ko lang ginagawa.
05:03Gusto ko yung naga-happy ba sa kids.
05:05Gusto ko yung pati yung bang nag-future.
05:06At kung ako naman hindi pwede si Mari nang gumagawa na.
05:09At kung di naman sa pwede,
05:11then siya naman ang may trabaho.
05:13Ako naman ang gumagawa.
05:15Ako ay I really enjoy. I love you.
05:18Thank you and congratulations.
05:21Next, we have Nikki Wang from Manila Standard.
05:26Hi Dong.
05:27Hi Dong.
05:28Well, of course, this means we're celebrating Father's Day.
05:32Whenever we say Father's Day,
05:35what comes to mind whenever
05:38na pag-uusapan yung celebration na to?
05:42And growing up, what were your memories
05:45celebrating this special day for fathers?
05:48And also, now that you're a father yourself,
05:51Anong naging kaibahan ng celebration na to
05:53when you become your, you know,
05:55become, um, yeah, a father yourself?
05:59Um, ano sa totoo lang,
06:02recently, Mother's Day recently,
06:03pag-mayo.
06:04At parating ako sila sabi na,
06:06I think everyday should be Mother's Day.
06:09Especially after witnessing, um,
06:12what my wife went through, di ba?
06:14Uh, carrying, uh, our children for nine months, et cetera,
06:17taking care of them.
06:19Um, and just simply, um,
06:20um, being there for, for somebody na,
06:25pinapalaki mo, inaharugam mo,
06:27kahit hindi biological na anak, et cetera.
06:30So, mas na-appreciate ko nga lalo, actually,
06:32yung, yung, yung aking mother na siya,
06:33ah, siya, ito pala yung binigdanaan niya,
06:35lima, lima kasi ko yung magkakapatid.
06:38And, nung na-realize ko how important
06:41mothers we are,
06:42because I'm witnessing it first hand,
06:45especially through my wife.
06:46And then, siguro parang sinabi ko, ah, okay.
06:49So, okay lang na walang Father's Day,
06:52sa totoo lang.
06:52Dahil mas makalaga talaga sila.
06:54But,
06:55pagdating sa araw niya,
06:56mararamdawan mo ay,
06:58importante rin pala.
06:59Di ba?
06:59Para medyo may overwhelming feeling din na,
07:03they, people show appreciation,
07:05because it's really something that we do not expect.
07:08It is something that we do not chase,
07:09and that we, we are looking,
07:11like consciously looking for.
07:13But when it is given to you,
07:14and when it is, um,
07:18parang, eh, they give it to you,
07:20dahil appreciate katila,
07:22ang sarap sa pakiramdam.
07:23Na, uy, medyo, I think,
07:26medyo baka may,
07:27may be doing something right as a problem.
07:31And let's talk about the cover,
07:33and also the video behind you.
07:35Parang, it looks so refined,
07:37so relaxed.
07:39Can you give us, you know,
07:42an overview of what happened,
07:43and how did you come up with this cover?
07:46Oh, um, yeah, uh, there were no lights.
07:50Um, it was just, uh, uh, the ambiance, uh,
07:55the location, it was very bright.
07:58The lights were soft.
08:00Um, ang ganda, very relaxed.
08:02Pati yung photographer natin,
08:04di ba,
08:04napaka cool.
08:05And, uh,
08:06yun lang po.
08:06Ano lang talaga yung available na,
08:09na,
08:09na elemento dun.
08:10Yun lang yung pinaglaruan namin,
08:12at nag-enjoy lang kami.
08:13At very clear lang ng direction.
08:15It's parang,
08:16like, uh,
08:16typical day at home.
08:18Siyempre, minus the clothes,
08:19di ba?
08:20Pambahay naman tayo sa bahay.
08:21Pero parang ganun lang po.
08:23Ano yung enjoy na ginagawaan,
08:25yung tambahay-tambahay.
08:26Just, uh,
08:28just being relaxed.
08:29So, siguro na na-capture siya
08:30yung ganong klasikang moments.
08:32So, uh,
08:33okay,
08:33the setting was perfect.
08:36I'll just add, um,
08:38before the shoot,
08:40uh,
08:41Ding Dong's team and the Esquire team,
08:43we had, uh,
08:43like a pre-production meeting
08:45where we
08:45sort of discussed,
08:47uh,
08:47what the concept was going to be.
08:48And,
08:49we were surprised kasi,
08:52uh,
08:52and I'm not like,
08:54sorry for term bullshitting anyone,
08:56pero,
08:57when we had a meeting,
08:59it turns out now,
09:00we had the same,
09:01parang concept,
09:03an idea in mind,
09:04which is presenting Ding Dong
09:05as, uh,
09:07as naturally as possible
09:08and, um,
09:09basically reflecting who he is
09:10in real life.
09:12Walang masyadong arte.
09:13And yun yung naging, um,
09:16basically,
09:16naging concept
09:17of the entire show.
09:18And I think,
09:19it, uh,
09:20came out,
09:21well,
09:21hopefully.
09:23So, it means,
09:24it reflects your current

12:16Oo nga,
12:17parang ano eh.
12:19Parang extremes ng pareko.
12:21Oo nga, no?
12:22Tougher or softer.
12:24Um,
12:25softer in the sense that,
12:26um,
12:28iba na yung,
12:30iba yung mga gusto kong pagbilyan.
12:33Diba na,
12:33na gusto pa.
12:35And mini halimbawa,
12:36kapag makita mo lang na,
12:37may iyak yung anak mo,
12:39diba?
12:39Kahit na meron kang rule na,
12:40hindi ba dapat gawin yan.
12:42Siyempre kahit paparo,
12:43lalambod ka eh.
12:44Diba?
12:44Minsan kahit na,
12:46masama yung araw mo,
12:47sa,
12:48nandyan sila to comfort you,
12:50and just,
12:51like be there for you,
12:52talagang lalambod ka.
12:54But also,
12:54tougher in the sense that,
12:55you really have to,
12:57step up your game.
12:58Um,
12:59not just,
12:59uh,
13:00as an artist,

13:02in general,
13:03kasi siyempre,
13:04yung buhay mo,
13:05hindi na lang pang sarili mo,
13:06hindi parang sa pamilya mo na.
13:08So, medyo kailangan,
13:09mas tough ka as,

13:12uh,
13:13yesterday.
13:19next is,
13:20Donjo Donatom,
13:21pep crew,
13:22from pep,
13:22pep.ph.
13:25Hello.
13:26Hi, sir.
13:26Hello.
13:27I've been a fan since,
13:28uh,

13:32Okay, anyway, sir.
13:35So you've mentioned na,

13:48ano ba?
13:50siguro,
13:50napagin ko kanina na talagang,
13:53I just really focus on you.
13:55And I think,
13:57being consistent is one very important thing.
14:00I also realized that,
14:02relationships are everything.
14:04Because, uh,
14:05success is,
14:06is temporary,
14:07but,
14:08reputation remains,
14:09and reputation stays.
14:11So,
14:11pinakamahalaga talaga na,
14:13over talent,
14:14mas mahalaga sa akin,
14:15na talagang,
14:16making,

14:28uh,
14:29relaxal tayo dito.
14:31So,
14:32yeah,
14:32again,
14:33more importantly,
14:34it's really about focusing on the work.
14:36Um,
14:36not really focusing on the,
14:38the spectacle and,
14:41you know,
14:41limelight,
14:42it's really,
14:42the impact mo,
14:44that,
14:44what this could create,
14:46um,
14:47sa mga manolood,
14:48sa mga tao,
14:49sa mga tao,
14:50tatanggambung trabata.
14:52Just a follow-up question.
14:54So, you've mentioned about attitude,
14:56di ba?
14:57it's somewhat,
14:58um,
14:59related to having that kind of longevity.
15:01And as a modern Filipino gentleman,
15:03what is something,
15:05na,
15:05hindi po nagbago,
15:06like value,
15:07na from day one,
15:08na nag-started po by the industry,
15:10up until now,
15:11is it holding up to that value?
15:14ano ba,
15:14ano yung hindi nagbago?
15:15Yeah,
15:16something that,
15:16there's a change.
15:18Siguro it's,
15:19it's always that,
15:20that hunger to,
15:22to create.
15:22Uh,
15:23that hunger to tell stories,
15:25that passion,
15:26desire,
15:26um,
15:28just create something meaningful.
15:30di ba, parang,
15:31yun yung tatanggambay,
15:32ang ginawa ko ba ay,
15:34maganda,
15:35pero higit sa magiging maganda,
15:36hindi yun,
15:37ang trabaho ko ba ay biling.
15:38And siguro,
15:39it's always,
15:40it's that constant search for that,
15:42uh,
15:42for,
15:43for achieving that.

16:58of actors,
17:00eh,
17:00I am,
17:01I am very much present.
17:02I think,
17:03the key is to really,
17:04be aware that,
17:06you have to be present in all these activities,
17:08and in all these platforms.
17:10Um,
17:12may tendency,

17:14medyo,
17:15mag-sapaw-sapaw yung mga iniisip ko,
17:19yun,
17:19parati mo lang isipin,
17:21huy,
17:21present ako dito.
17:24Lalo na,
17:24pag nasa bahay ako,
17:25I have to be present.
17:27My mind cannot be anywhere else.
17:29I have to be present for my family.
17:31Thank you, sir.
17:34Next, we have,
17:36JaycoTV.
17:38Hello.
17:39Hey.
17:41Parang,
17:41sa buwan na to ha.
17:42Apat na beses na nagiging.
17:44Oh,
17:44it'll see you on your lap.
17:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:46It's always a pleasure.
17:47Please, po.
17:48I like,
17:49wala po,
17:50mabuti naman.
17:52One more to describe your cover right now.
17:55Parang,
17:56when you see the cover of N-Square.
18:05Paano ba?
18:06Parang looking sideways.
18:10ahead yet sideways and ready to go, always ready to go. Looking sideways
18:19because you still want to see the peripherals and be mindful of what's happening around and yet
18:25going towards a direction that is in front of you.
18:30I love what you said. I agree. And what was the reaction of Maria Rivera when you saw the cover?
18:37Ah, oo.
18:41Kasi, sobrang busy.
18:43O, sabi naman niya, pwede ko sabi kami ganina.
18:46Saan ka nga ka pupunta?
18:47Sabi ko yung gay-square ko.
18:50Oo nga pala, sobrang busy kasi.
18:52Siya rin, by the way meron siya. Meron siya mamaya.
18:55Sa lubong sa product ko.
18:59Meron siya live selling. Anyway.
19:01So, sabi niya congratulations and she wished me luck.
19:05Sa laman nang very, very supportive kami sa isa at isa. Lalo siya.
19:09At sa totoo lang, hindi naman ako makakapag-smile ngayon.
19:13Yes!
19:14Tapos klinansya niya yung pantalon ko.
19:18Sobrang.
19:19Inspired po.
19:20So, okay.
19:20Papasan ako.
19:21And then, my last question po.
19:23Ano po yung sweet message na narinig mo sa two kids mo ever in your life?
19:29Oh, sweet message.
19:33Maybe ano.
19:34Not really a message.
19:36Okay.
19:36Sweet, sweet message.
19:38Madani mga medyo, mga seryoso message yan.
19:41Napost ko yun dati.
19:43Sinasabi nila na, let's be here for each other.
19:49Kapag nagta-travel kami, mahilig kami magsulat sa isang pirasong papel.
19:54Ayaw ng paper.
19:55Get any paper you want.
19:57And then, just write the things that you want for yourself, for one another, and just for the world in
20:04general.
20:04So, parang magugulat ka sa mga pananaw nila.
20:08Napaka-bata nila.
20:09Pero, siguro, I can share one experience, which is very recent.
20:14Kanina to.
20:16So, nagatid kami sa school.
20:18Ang anak namin.
20:19At nakaustap namin teacher.
20:21So, it's the usual update na ito yung progress.
20:25So, my son, being seven years old, our teacher asked him, like, what does your dad do?
20:30Sabi niya, well, he's a master cutter.
20:33What?
20:35Really?
20:35Like, yeah, he's a master cutter.
20:37So, natawa na lang talaga.
20:39So, siguro, gusto niya paliwanan niya.
20:42Ano ba siya?
20:42Sastre?
20:43O talaga?
20:44Ano?
20:46It's just one of his roles.
20:47Kasi, minsan nalilito siya.
20:48Minsan, makikita niya na.
20:49Ang sarong family feud.
20:51So, although, he knows I'm in the industry.
20:54I'm proud of the industry.
20:56I'm proud of what I do.
20:58Pero, siguro, ang takeaway ko doon ay, kung ano man ang ginagawa ko,
21:04I have to make sure that one day they will be proud of me.
21:07Diba?
21:08Not just me, but also my wife.
21:10That's why we are very mindful of our body.
21:14Kung ano man yung ginagawa niya.
21:15Not just in movies and television, but also in the platforms that we are in.
21:20Diba?
21:20As much as possible.
21:22We really want to make sure that.
21:26Tayo siguro yung nagbibigay ng good vibes.
21:29So, tayo yung nagbibigay ng inspirasyon.
21:31Kung siguro.
21:32Kung meron man.
21:34Diba?
21:35Or, basa hindi nagkakalat na mga kung ano-ano.
21:37Na disinformation or disinformation man.
21:40Just really have to make sure it is.
21:43Thank you so much for doing congrats.
21:47Next is Tristan Paris from Lineheart TV.
21:51Hello ko.
21:52First of all, congratulations.
21:53My first question would be, you are known for balancing career, family, and personal growth.
22:00What are the sacrifices na hindi po nakikita ng tao?
22:03Gusto nyo i-share?
22:05Oh.
22:06Balancing, sorry.
22:07The first part is balancing.
22:09Career, family, and personal growth.
22:11Oh, okay.
22:12Ano yung mga sacrifices?
22:15Sa lahat.
22:16Siyempre wala namang madali.
22:17Di ba ba?
22:18Madali ka rin.
22:18Anggit ko nga kanina.
22:20Doon sa question that, you know.
22:23Parami ginagawa.
22:24How you got these things.
22:27Well, meron at merong hip talaga dyan.
22:31Meron at merong kahit papalong sa soccer.
22:33But you just really have to make up for it.
22:36Kung sakali.
22:37May panahon.
22:38Diba tulog.
22:38May panahon dati na araw-araw talaga yung trabaho.
22:43And I'm sure.
22:44Makakarelate dito.
22:45Lahat ng mga hard-worthy dads.
22:47Diba?
22:48Who commute everyday.
22:50In the morning.
22:51They wake up.
22:51They leave even before their kids are awake.
22:54And they go home.
22:55Tulog na yung mga bata.
22:56Hindi na nila nakikita.
22:57May panahon na ganun din.
22:59Diba?
22:59So, I think.
23:00Pag may panahon na pwede kang makabawi.
23:03You just really have to make up for it.
23:05And explain.
23:06Na yun o.
23:07Hindi.
23:07Nangayari mga bagay na ito.
23:09Dahil ginagawa din namin ito pa sa inyo.
23:12Diba?
23:12Pero sempre.
23:13In an ideal scenario.
23:14Ganda sana.
23:15Balancing-balancing ito.
23:17So, I think it should always be our motivation.
23:22Try in a way to strike that balance.
23:25Talaga.
23:25Eh, kain pa pano walang nagsasabi.
23:29If your children were to read this Esquire cover
23:3210 years from now.
23:34What would be the message or the takeaway
23:36would you like for them to get?
23:38Oo.
23:39Uhm.
23:41Ano ba?
23:42Well.
23:43Sana.
23:4510 years from now.
23:46Available pa yung link.
23:48Kaya.
23:49Pwede ba kapag-break.
23:50Ano.
23:50Sabi ng papa-break sana ako.
23:51Kahit isang binasa yun.
23:53Para pag lumali sila.
23:56Mabarasa dila.
23:58The takeaway.
23:59Uhm.
24:00Well.
24:01Maybe it was once Father's Day.
24:02And they featured your dad.
24:05And we talked about.
24:07How.
24:09A dad should be.
24:10Or how I am.
24:11As an artist.
24:13As a person.
24:14Hindi ko lang eh.
24:15Pero siguro ang pinaka take away ko na lang din.
24:17Yung gusto kong maging take away dila.
24:19Na.
24:19And.
24:20It is.
24:22Uhm.
24:24Also.
24:24It's probably defining how.
24:27A modern father.
24:29A modern.
24:29A modern.
24:30A modern father is.
24:31You know.
24:32Not saying naman na.
24:33May naman ibig sabihin.
24:35Na ako yun.
24:35But.
24:36What.
24:37What.
24:38What do we.
24:39Want to achieve.
24:40As fathers.
24:40I said.
24:41Para sa akin.
24:42Could be a goal.
24:43Na siguro.
24:44The modern father is.
24:45Someone who.
24:46Is.
24:48Yet.
24:49Compassionate.
24:50Maybe.
24:51The modern father is.
24:52Someone who.
24:53Uh.
24:55Confident.
24:57But can also be.
24:58Vulnerable.
24:59Maybe.
24:59The modern father is.
25:01Someone who.
25:01Is.
25:02Protective.
25:03But can also be.
25:03Nurturing.
25:05Siguro.
25:06Yun yung mga takeaways po.
25:07Kasi.
25:08Uh.
25:08While newly introduced.
25:09And maybe.
25:10Hopefully.
25:11That is also the takeaway.
25:13Uh.
25:15Last question po.
25:16Um.
25:17In three words.
25:18Um.
25:18How can you describe.

25:38Uh.
25:39Someone who.
25:41Uh.
25:43Retains his character.
25:44Even when no one.
25:45Even when no one.
25:46Even when no one is.
25:46And someone who.
25:48Treats.
25:48Everyone equally.
25:50With dignity.
25:51Regardless.
25:52Of the.
25:52Statue.

26:50Um.
26:52Na may pakita yung kanilang galing sa ibang.
26:55Sa ibang.
26:56Sa ibang bansa.
26:57Diba?
26:57So sana mas dumami pa yun.
26:59Uh.
26:59And uh.
26:59Uh.
26:59I think the world is really ready for.
27:01For Filipino talent.
27:03Filipino talent is such an.
27:09Uh.
27:09I'm proud of being a big part of what we have done.
27:16Sir Dong, follow up lang, you saw this one earlier.
27:20You saw this one last time, you saw this one last time.
27:24You saw this one last time.
27:26Well, in the house you saw this one.
27:57It was like 4 years ago, I would have to
28:03go inside the process of a baby, work on a plant,
28:07then I would have to voice.
28:08So, syempre, nilagawa ko yung paggabi, pagtulog na,
28:12para wala nung mahigay.
28:14Pero minsan, mayigising sila, kasi wala sa tabi.
28:17Wala siya, wala siya, sa tabi.
28:18So, hahanapin ako,
28:21pakikita ako na nasa,
28:22ginagawa ko ng sarok na tayo.
28:24Tapos makikinig siya, so nag-voice over ako.
28:26So, naging parang ritual namin na,
28:30kasi grabe yun eh.
28:31I am quite animated.
28:34Kasi kailangan kailangan.
28:36At ang mga,
28:38at ang mga, mga leon,
28:40may nagsitakuhan,
28:41yung mga, mga mga,
28:44sa mga kaya gawaan ito.
28:45Siguro, baka naalala niya yun.
28:50Yung Amazing Earth is kwento talaga ng mga animals.
28:53So, baka naalala niya yun.
28:55I hope,
28:56and I also hope one day,
28:58he can do something similar.
29:01But definitely, I think he's
29:03he's gonna be an animal lover.
29:05A protector of animals.
29:09That's such a global trait.
29:12Thank you po, Intruglas ko.
29:13It's a MasterCounter, sir.
29:16Next, we have Gia
29:17from Wen in Manila.
29:22Hello, sir. Congratulations po
29:24for being the cover.
29:25So, yung first question po, beyond your work
29:27as an actor,
29:28I'm more curious po about your role as a father.
29:31So, ano pa yung mga ginagawa niyo
29:32with the kids and with Marianne po
29:34during your time off?
29:36And ano pa yung mga favorite niyong bonding moments?
29:39Lately, nahihilig kami sa ano?
29:43Simple na yun.
29:43Ang nulod kami na,
29:45ang TV together.
29:47Ang pili kami ng movie.
29:49Although parati pinag-awaya ko,
29:50sino pipili.
29:51Yun talaga eh.
29:52So, hindi ko talaga ma-
29:54Ma-crack eh ko sino ba.
29:57Madalas susunod si Ziyaki
29:59anong gusto niyang panoodin.
30:01Pero maganda naman,
30:02kasi maraming mga family movies eh
30:04na pang family watching.
30:06So, hindi naman tayo ma-upload sa.
30:07Pero, pagkatapos manood,
30:10or minsan,
30:11even while watching,
30:13ah,
30:13hindi ko din ma-ain niya.
30:15Chicken wings,
30:17mas maanghang,
30:17mas gusto nila.
30:19Sabi ko,
30:19na probably stage it.
30:21And right after,
30:23nagkakaraw ko yun.
30:25Nagkakaraw ko yun.
30:26So, ang saya lang dahil
30:28yung,
30:28yung,
30:29may son,
30:30si C6one,
30:31he is also playing the drums now.
30:33So,
30:34nagpaano siya,
30:35nagkakaraw ko siya,
30:36tapos sinasabi nung sister niya kumantan.
30:38So, ang sarap makita,
30:39nagda-jamming sila.
30:41Okay.
30:42Plus si Marian pa,
30:43pag kumantan na ng mga AGs,
30:44yun ah,
30:45na sila nalado.
30:46Diba?
30:47nagda-jamming sila ng tatlo.
30:48So, kung hindi na ako sumasaya rin,
30:50nanunod na lang.
30:52And then,
30:52last question po sir.
30:53Since sobrang tagay na pa ni Marian,
30:55napang parang common problem po
30:57sa mga couples
30:58yung nawawala yung
30:59sense of individuality,
31:01or nawawala yung spark.
31:02So, ano po yung parang
31:03pa-advice mo sa mga couples na
31:05paano nila may embrace yung differences?
31:08And,
31:08tellin po personally
31:09kay Hindi, Ms. Marlon,
31:10paano nyo po na-handle
31:11yung conflict?
31:12Ganito po?
31:16Ah,
31:16yung differences in conflict?
31:19Ah,
31:19ah,
31:22ah,
31:23ah, siguro hindi.
31:26sa oras halimbawa.
31:28Ah,
31:29kasi minsan,
31:30wala rin oras para pag-usapan.
31:32Like,
31:32especially pareho kami busy.
31:34So,
31:35etong pamparating na Sunday,
31:37ay,
31:37may gagawin kami
31:38somewhere.
31:39So, we will be together for,
31:41ah,
31:42quite a long time.
31:43So,
31:44makakapag-usap kami.
31:45Kasi yun talaga naman
31:46yung pinakamahalaga.
31:46Yung usap talaga.
31:48Yung totoo-usap,
31:50di ba?
31:50Hindi yung text lang.
31:51Tapos,
31:52kasi I understand
31:53she's also a busy mom.
31:55Di ba talaga?
31:56When I'm away,
31:57she really takes care of things.
31:58So, I understand that.
31:59So, mahalaga talaga
32:00meron kaming oras
32:02na para sa amin lang.
32:03So,
32:03I guess,
32:05we really just have to find that
32:06at least once a week
32:08or once a month,
32:09date,
32:10kahit
32:11yun lang kami sa labas
32:12po sa mga kapag-usap
32:13nang masisikan.
32:15Pwede.
32:15Thank you po.
32:17Congratulations.
32:20Next,
32:21we have Mirza Sison
32:23from Summit Media.
32:25Hello.
32:26Ding Dong is also a
32:28Cosmo-hunk.
32:30If you remember,
32:31if you were already born.
32:33One of our best Cosmo-hunks.
32:36Ah,
32:36we live in chaotic,
32:38crazy times,
32:40politically,
32:41financially,
32:42environmentally.
32:43mentally.
32:43As a dad,
32:45as your kids are growing up,
32:48how are you,
32:49what do you want to teach them
32:50about navigating this world
32:52that they are in?
32:54I mean,
32:55it's getting tougher and tougher.
32:57What do you want to teach them
32:58about never losing hope
33:00in the world that they're growing up in?
33:03Yeah.
33:04Tama sinabi po.
33:05It's really a crazy world
33:08that we have right now.
33:10And,
33:11one thing should always remain
33:13for us,
33:14and that is for us,
33:15otherwise,
33:16if we don't have to lose it,
33:17we'll have to do it.
33:19And,
33:29I think it is also our role now,
33:32as veterans,
33:33to set them up
33:34for what is about to come,
33:36and to set them up for this jungle out there.
33:40And,
33:40we just try our best
33:42to really just instill the values
33:46that they won't lose it.
33:49Because,
33:49as veterans,
33:50we want them to be successful.
33:51We want them to be successful.
33:54When you say successful,
33:55in all aspects,
33:56as professionals,
33:58or financial success baby,
34:01or successful in sports,
34:03or whatever,
34:04that's okay.
34:05Pero,
34:06more than being successful,
34:07I think it's
34:08the trait of being
34:10just kind to people,
34:11that we should always remind them of.
34:14That's the thing
34:14that you're being loved.
34:21Next,
34:22we have Rachel Siason
34:23from pep.ph.
34:26Hi,
34:26good afternoon.
34:28My question first is,
34:30for PJ,
34:32how did you choose
34:34Ding Dong
34:34to be your cover star
34:36for this month?
34:37And,
34:38how would you define
34:39the modern Filipino gentleman?
34:43Thank you for that beautiful question.
34:46Now,
34:47as I mentioned,
34:50we decided to focus
34:52on Father's Day.
34:53despite us celebrating
34:55or commemorating
34:56different holidays
34:58this month.
34:59And,
35:00when we were
35:02meeting as a team,
35:05several names came up.
35:07Pero,
35:08one name that kept popping up
35:10was Ding Dong's name.
35:12and,
35:12we all realized
35:14we all know him as,
35:16you know,
35:17this actor,
35:18entertainer,
35:19he's been in the business
35:20a really long time.
35:23But, he's also
35:24a father himself.
35:54and,
35:55the theme of being a modern Filipino gentleman,
35:58it all came together.
35:59And so, when we asked him,
36:01and his team,
36:02if he'd be willing,
36:06he said yes.
36:07So,
36:08it all came together.
36:13For Ding Dong,
36:14we know that one of the qualities of a father,
36:18or, I guess,
36:19as a man,
36:20that men are preparing for,
36:23when you married,
36:26is to be a good provider.
36:28That's one of the qualities of a father.
36:31Maybe,
36:32looking back,
36:33when you tied the knot
36:36with Marian
36:3711 years ago,
36:38or,
36:38almost 11 years ago,
36:41how did you prepare
36:42for that mindset
36:44that,
36:44okay,
36:45I will provide for my family?
36:47And,
36:48well,
36:48because,
36:49you became a provider
36:51from the very beginning.
36:53you were very committed to it.
36:55So,
36:55siguro,
36:56can you just share
36:57with other gentlemen
36:58how you,
36:59um,
37:01were able to achieve that?
37:03So, your preparation.
37:04Uh,
37:06but,
37:06anong talaga,
37:07it took some time
37:08for me to prepare
37:10for that,
37:10for that reason.
37:12Kaya,
37:13medyo na tagalan,
37:13so, totoo lang,
37:15kinasaraw it
37:16for me.
37:18To some,
37:19it may,
37:20say,
37:21but,
37:21okay,
37:22but,
37:25before that,
37:26I was already preparing
37:27for,
37:27for it.
37:28So,
37:29hindi lang naman,
37:30uh,
37:31financially,
37:31but also,
37:32sa,
37:32sa,
37:33sa pag-iisip,
37:34di ba,
37:35parang,
37:35tapusin na lahat ng mga,
37:37dapat tapusin,
37:38isang single na tao,
37:39tapos,
37:41yung commitment mo ngayon,
37:42ay,
37:42sa pag-iisipan niya.
37:44So,
37:45so,
37:45I think,
37:46kailangan talaga pag-isipan niya
37:47naman,
37:48naman,
37:48naman,
37:49naman,
37:52naman.
37:53And,
37:53what's the second question?
37:54Yung,
37:55as for being a good provider,
37:57parang,
37:57is it,
37:58is that something that you thought of,
38:00even back then?
38:01Before you got married?
38:02Oo,
38:02dapat ready ka na talaga,
38:03noon,
38:04noon palang,
38:05bago pa,
38:06so,
38:06apang,
38:06dapat ready,
38:07but,
38:09I think,
38:10more than being a good provider,
38:12uh,
38:14syempre,
38:14mahalaga,
38:15parahati ka talaga,
38:16yung present.
38:16You know,
38:16I always say that,
38:17you always have to be present.
38:19Kasi,
38:19um,
38:21sobrang good provider niya,
38:23pero,
38:24nawawala naman ang,
38:25ano,
38:26ng connection.
38:27So,
38:27kailangan mindful din,
38:29siguro,
38:29kasi,
38:30ako ganun na kaya,
38:31I am mindful about that,
38:33how,
38:34uh,
38:35and,

38:36it's the constant chase of,
38:38striking that balance,
38:39right,
38:40of always being present,
38:41and yet,
38:42being able to provide.
