00:30At sa lahat ang nakikinig po sa DZWB, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, welcome to your program.
00:38Ito po'y napaka-espesyal na hapon.
00:42She is often called a Pinoy pride and her story is inspiring.
00:47Her story is inspiring.
00:49Dati po'y she would take on small roles dito sa Pilipinas today.
00:54She is one of the most respected actors, Asian actors in Hollywood.
01:00She was nominated in the Golden Globe and in the BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
01:07And she is a friend, she is a Filipino.
01:11And isang malaking karangalan po ang makasama natin siya ngayong hapon.
01:14Naytay Kapuso, please welcome the one and the only, Dolly De Leon.
01:24Maraming maraming salamat.
01:28Thank you very much.
01:30Ang sarap mag-intro ng ganun.
01:32Ay, ang sarap ng intro niyo sa akin, Sir Boy.
01:35It's so nice to be back here.
01:37Maraming maraming salamat.
01:38Tsaka ang saya dito, ang saya sa studio niyo.
01:40Oo nga.
01:42Cheers!
01:43Cheers!
01:45Dali, pag tinatawag kang Pinoy Pride, anong reaksyon?
01:48Dati na pe-pressure ako, parang feeling ko parang ang laking responsibility.
01:52Pero ngayon, I carry it with pride.
01:55Ako, I'm proud of it.
01:56And ang wish ko lang is more of us can call themselves that.
02:00Mas marami sa ating mga artists.
02:02In an interview, you were quoted to have said that, I do an extraordinary job, but I remain ordinary.
02:12Yeah, kasi I still do regular things eh.
02:16Katulad?
02:16Nagagansilyo ko.
02:18Nag-ano, nag-aalaga ko ng halaman.
02:20Namamalengke.
02:22Paminsan-minsan.
02:23Grocery.
02:23Hindi araw-araw.
02:24Grocery, yes.
02:25Madalas, grocery.
02:27Lumalabas ako, pumunta akong mall.
02:29Alam mo, naglalakad ako sa kalye.
02:32Normal things.
02:34Ang pinakagusto ko doon ay that public figures have a choice.
02:41And you can actually direct your life the way you want it.
02:44Yeah.
02:45I mean, for me, kasi my job is not, hindi ako, hindi celebrity yung tingin ko sa sarili ko eh.
02:50Ang tingin ko sa sarili ko, working actor lang talaga.
02:53So parang para sa akin, yung mga ibang tao, ginagawa nila ako celebrity.
02:57Okay, di gawin niyo akong celebrity.
02:58Pero para sa akin, actor lang ako na nagtatrabaho.
03:02Pero syempre, special sa amin, dahil hindi naman ordinaryo masyado po ang manominate sa Golden Globe at saka sa BAFTA.
03:08At mga katrabaho, lahat ang iyong nakakatrabaho.
03:11Limang pelikula po sa Hollywood, limang serye.
03:14Limang pelikula ba?
03:15Oo, limang pelikula, tatlong serye.
03:17Maliban po yan sa mga ginagawa ni Dolly dito sa Pilipinas.
03:20But this is the one that I want to ask.
03:23Can it be lonely at the top?
03:26Yeah, it can be.
03:28Especially dahil iba yung time difference doon eh.
03:30Like pag nandun ako, napipilitan ako mag-English the whole time.
03:35Nakakapagod mag-English the whole time, di ba?
03:38So, tapos mag-uwi ako galing work, tulog na yung mga anak ko.
03:42Wala akong makausap.
03:43So, yeah, it can be lonely.
03:44Pero I make the most of it na lang.
03:46Iniiwasan ko maging lonely.
03:48Kasi parang sayang naman yung binayaya sa akin ng Diyos kung magiging malungkot lang ako.
03:53Doon sa mga pagkakataon, halimbawa sa Golden Globe, sa BAFTA,
03:57eh, siyempre, nandyan lang si Meryl Streep, nandyan lang si Nicole Kidman.
04:01May mga pagkakataon na nakaka-starstruck talaga.
04:04Lagi.
04:05Kanino ka, ang sarap naman.
04:07Lagi akong starstruck.
04:08I think yung pinaka-starstruck talaga ako kay Olivia Colman.
04:12Kasi favorite actress ko talaga siya eh.
04:15Tapos nasalubong ko siya sa elevator nung first time.
04:18Siya yung unang-unang celebrity na na-encuentro ako face-to-face.
04:21Na nasalubong ko sa elevator, nagmuka talaga akong syunga.
04:25Kasi nung nakita ko siya talaga,
04:26Hi! I'm dolly dolly yun.
04:28Tapos naka-mask pa ako nun dahil, ano, pandemic na tayo yun.
04:31Tinanggal ko pa yung mask as if naman makikilala niya ako.
04:34Diba?
04:34Tapos yun, nag...
04:36Paano siya nag-respond?
04:37Very sweet.
04:38Very friendly.
04:40Sobrang, oh, hello!
04:41Oh, nice to meet you.
04:43Ganun.
04:43Pero nakalimutan ko magpa-picture.
04:45Yun lang.
04:47Pero, dolly, sa mga kwento na naririnig namin,
04:51kahit gaano kaka-talented, gaano kakahusay,
04:54you need a very good agent or a very good manager.
04:57I remember your story about your manager calling you
05:00after Triangle of Sadness.
05:02He DM'd me, actually.
05:03Di asa Instagram.
05:04Yes.
05:05Diba, tama?
05:05Yes.
05:06Adam?
05:07Adam, right?
05:08Ang galing mo naman, Sir Boy.
05:09Correct na pag-usapan natin.
05:10Is he still your manager?
05:11He's still my manager.
05:12Wow!
05:13Yes.
05:13And kinuha rin niya ako ng agent.
05:15Kasi sa Hollywood, hindi ka makakakuha ng trabaho kung wala kang agent.
05:18So, siya rin yung kumuha ng agent ko.
05:20Si Jen naman yung agent ko.
05:21Okay.
05:22So, how does it work?
05:23Ang manager is the one who takes care.
05:24Ang pagkakaintindihan natin.
05:26Ang manager, what does he do?
05:27And what does an agent do?
05:29The agent is the one who secures jobs for me.
05:31Siya yung naghahanap.
05:32Siya yung naghahanap.
05:33Ang manager naghahanap din.
05:35Pero, ang agent, siya yung nakikipag-negotiate sa rates.
05:38Siya yung nakikipag-kontrata.
05:40So, more of transactional yung agent.
05:42Ang manager, sila yung nagme-make sure na pag nandun ako sa location,
05:46I'm well cared for, maganda yung accommodations ko,
05:49may mga damit ako, pag may mga events, gaya niyan.
05:53So, yung manager yung bahala dyan, hindi yung agent.
05:56The manager takes care of the well-being of the actor.
05:58Samadala, ang agent takes care of the contracts and the deals.
06:01Yes, exactly.
06:03Dito sa Nine Perfect Strangers, you made us,
06:06ako, I'll speak for myself, I was just so proud of you.
06:10Pag-usapan natin si Nicole Kidman,
06:12kumusta siya?
06:13Magkaibigan na kayo?
06:15Hindi po, hindi kami magkaibigan.
06:17Alam mo, ang isang Nicole Kidman ay tatlo ang trailer.
06:23Maraming tao, she's surrounded by a whole team of people.
06:26She's very friendly, she's very warm, she's very nice.
06:29Pero, lagi siyang surrounded by people.
06:33So, pag ganun na yung status ng celebrity mo,
06:36medyo ako personally, may hirapan na ako na kaibiganin ka.
06:41Ang kaibigan ko doon, si Christine Baranski, si Annie Murphy,
06:44si Murray Bartlett, si Henry Golding, lahat yan, mga kaibigan ko sila.
06:48Bakit, kumusta na lang ako kay Henry?
06:49Sige!
06:51Oh pa!
06:52Pero kayo ni Nicole, first name basis.
06:54I mean, you know, each other.
06:55Kasi ganun talaga sa kanila eh, talagang first name.
06:58Kahit yung director, you don't call the director direct,
07:00you call them by their first name.
07:01That's right.
07:02Yeah.
07:02First name.
07:03Yeah.
07:03She's very sweet, very sweet lady.
07:05Ang sarap naman.
07:07Let's go to Avatar.
07:08Anong pakiramdam?
07:10Ang sarap.
07:11Ang sarap, Sir Boy, kasi,
07:14first of all, never pa ako gumaganap na kambal.
07:16So, kambal ang role ko dito.
07:19Pangalawa, ka-ekseno ko si Daniel Day Kim,
07:21na napakahusay na aktor.
07:23At saka, syempre, legendary na yung Avatar The Last Airbender na show eh.
07:27Nung nalaman nga ng mga anak ko na na-cast ako doon,
07:30sobra silang excited.
07:31At sila talaga nagsabi sa akin,
07:33Mom, kailangan mo gawin to.
07:35Kailangan mo gawin ng Avatar.
07:36At ring lumalabas ang hari, excited kami eh,
07:37kasi alam ko nandun ka.
07:39Oo nga eh, yes.
07:40Sa Fire Nation.
07:41Sa Fire Nation.
07:43Samantala naman, sa maximum pleasure guaranteed,
07:46isa sa mga na-notice talaga ng tao
07:51ay yung iyong proudly Pinoy accent.
07:55Ang ganda.
07:57Thank you, Sir Boy.
07:59Kasi para sa akin,
08:01kung gusto nyo kumuha ng Amerikano,
08:04di kumuha kayo ng Amerikano.
08:06May dahilan naman kung bakit nila ako hinire.
08:08And by the way, Sir Boy,
08:09nag-audition ako for that part.
08:11I auditioned for that part
08:12and ginamit ko yung Filipino accent ko.
08:14And wala naman silang binigay na note.
08:16In fact,
08:17hinayaan nila ako na magsalita na gano'n.
08:19So,
08:20para sa akin,
08:22as much as possible,
08:24gusto ko laging gamitin yung Filipino accent ko.
08:26Dolly,
08:27Hollywood is not an easy town.
08:30May mga pagkakataon
08:31na na-bully ka na sa Hollywood.
08:33Alam mo,
08:33Awa ng Diyos hindi pa.
08:34Pero you've heard of stories, no?
08:36I've heard of stories, yeah.
08:37Pero Awa ng Diyos hindi pa.
08:38I've been very fortunate.
08:40Everyone has been
08:40nothing but nice to me.
08:42I think that goes with the times.
08:44Kasi nowadays,
08:45mas inclusive na tayo, di ba?
08:47At grabe na yung
08:48mga movements against bigotry.
08:50Compared ng 80s, 90s.
08:52But I've heard a lot of stories
08:54in Hollywood.
08:55And again,
08:56you're lucky.
08:57I'm lucky.
08:57I'm really lucky.
08:58At saka,
09:00Sir Boy,
09:01huwag kayong mag-alala.
09:02Kasi pag may nang-bully sa akin,
09:03hindi sila makakalusot.
09:04Dahil may tinatawag na HR,
09:06pwede mong i-email ang HR
09:07at mag-complain.
09:08Yun.
09:09In place po ang system.
09:10Yes.
09:11Di ba?
09:11May sistema talaga doon
09:12pag nagtatrabaho.
09:13Let's talk about
09:14Forgotten Island.
09:15Another exciting.
09:16This is the first
09:17Hollywood animated movie
09:18based on Pinoy mythology.
09:21Yes.
09:21And you're working here with
09:22her,
09:25Lea Salonga,
09:26Liza Soberano.
09:26Liza Soberano.
09:27How proud are you
09:29with this material?
09:31Super proud, Sir Boy.
09:32Sa sobrang proud ko,
09:34hindi ko na hiningi yung script.
09:36Nung lumapit sila
09:37at in-offer yan,
09:38sinabi ko,
09:39yes,
09:40I will do it.
09:40Kasi tungkol sa atin eh.
09:42Tungkol sa ating mga Pinoy eh.
09:44So parang it's about time.
09:45Kasi ilang taon ko
09:46ng gripe yan eh.
09:47Dahil sa mga
09:48animated features
09:49na represent na ang
09:52China,
09:53na represent na
09:53Mexico,
09:55Sweden,
09:56America,
09:57lahat.
09:58Pero ang Philippines
09:59wala pa.
09:59So parang
10:00ito na yung pagkakataon natin
10:02na makuwento yung mga kwento natin.
10:04So syempre proud ako na masaya.
10:05At sana yung supportahan
10:06ho nating lahat.
10:07Hindi ba?
10:08Para naman...
10:08Sana pumunta tayo sa Sinihan
10:10at pumunta tayo sa Sinihan.
10:12Iba pa rin talaga
10:13ang napapanood
10:14ang mga obra
10:15sa Sinihan.
10:17Yes.
10:18Para mapatunayan natin
10:19sa mundo
10:19na may karapatan tayo
10:21na nandun tayo
10:22sa ganong klaseng
10:23global stage.
10:24Puli tayo Sinihan.

10:38So ordinaryo ito.
10:40Yes.
10:41That's a normal thing

11:02That's usually

11:05mag love interest
11:06and kailangan may chemistry sila.
11:08They do that.

18:36to do a conversation with her,
18:38di ba?
18:38Yes.
18:40I know she is in the Philippines.
18:43Do you also realize,
18:45Dolly,
18:45na ang daming na-inspire mo?
18:48Only when I meet people like them,
18:50like today,
18:51ang daming mga bata dito
18:52na the way they,
18:53wala silang sinasabi,
18:55pero the way lang
18:55kung paano nila ako tignan,
18:57nakikita ko talaga na.
18:58Ramdam na ramdam ko sila
18:59na na-appreciate nila
19:01yung pinaghirapan ko.
19:03Your children,
19:05sinasabi ba nila verbally
19:06kung gaano sila ka-proud
19:07sa success mo?
19:08Hindi.
19:10Hindi.
19:11Lagi lang nila ako tinutokso.
19:12Tinutokso lang nila ako.
19:13Anong sinasabi nila?
19:14Uy, influencer.
19:15Uy.
19:16Uy, ganyan-ganyan.
19:18More of that.
19:20Pero yung son ko,
19:21kasi hearing impaired yung son ko,
19:22at may learning disability,
19:24siya yung talagang sobrang proud na.
19:26Talagang,
19:26lalo na nung lumabas yung
19:28Avatar The Last Airbender.
19:30Sobra siyang proud na.
19:31And that's a different kind of joy.
19:32Yeah.
19:33Di ba?
19:33In an interview again,
19:34you were asked,
19:35ano ba ang ibig sabihin sa'yo
19:37ng success?
19:38What does it mean to you?
19:40Success is being able
19:42to do whatever you want
19:43to make you happy.
19:44Ang ganda.
19:45Yeah.
19:45And you are happy.
19:46I am happy.
19:48And that means a lot to us.
19:49I've never been able
19:50to do what I want before.
19:51So, yeah, I am happy.
19:53Kasi may mga nagsasabi,
19:54remember the book of Sidney Poite,
19:56at ang sabi niya,
19:57the true measure of success
19:58is to be able to provide
20:00for your family.
20:01Sabi ko,
20:02ang ganda nung perspektibo na
20:03hindi lamang providing
20:04for the family,
20:05but being able to,
20:06ang iba nga,
20:07to choose the things
20:08that you want to do.
20:09But you put it
20:10on a different level
20:11to be happy
20:12in what you do.
20:13Yes, because what if
20:14you don't have a family
20:15so wala ka nang success?
20:16You always have to start
20:18with the individual,
20:18the person.
20:19So, anong na-achieve ko
20:20by myself?
20:22So, yun,
20:22if I can do whatever I want
20:24to make me happy,
20:25then that's for me success.
20:27Mabuhay ka, darling.
20:28Maraming, maraming salamat.
20:32We will see you again
20:33tomorrow.
20:35And you take good care
20:36of yourselves.
20:37Be kind.
20:38Piliin ang tama,
20:39biwan tama.
20:39Goodbye for now.
20:40And God bless.
