00:04How is it like to be the son of the one and the only Chris Aquino?
00:15It's the only life I've ever known.
00:17And it's a life that I like to think is a very blessed life.
00:22Because I got to be born, I got to come out of the person that I love most.
00:29And no matter what she accomplished, and no matter what she did during her professional career,
00:36the thing that I admire most about her is that she raised me right and raised my brother right.
00:43And how is that relationship with Kuya?
00:45Kumusta ang relasyon mo kay Kuya George?
00:48Mom's laughing because I'm the, ano, mom is, we make palitan.
00:54She's sometimes good cop, I'm sometimes bad cop.
00:57Sometimes she's bad cop, sometimes I'm good cop.
00:59So, sometimes I'm the one who, if he does something naughty,
01:04I'm the one who confiscates his phone, and then, I'm bad cop there.
01:09And then sometimes it's mama.
01:11But, you know...
01:12The biggest punishment in the world is to not have a phone.
01:16So, three nights, di ba?
01:19But, you know, maninong boy, mom has, ano, a very soft heart.
01:24So, ang three nights nagiging two nights, two nights becomes one, and then...
01:29No, or two, it really lasted two.
01:31No.
01:31Yes.
01:32Mama, there was one time na, one week, no cell phone.
01:36And then the next day, he used my iPad.
01:43It's so you.
01:44Yes.
01:45And then, for me, I was thinking, it's not really a punishment because it's an improvement.
01:50But, you know, oh well.
01:51Sir, you were starting to talk about being bad cop, good cop, and...
01:55Kumusta pa?
01:56Ano pa ang interaction, you know, your relasyon with kuya?
02:00Well, my mom has always ingrained in me that when she's gone, I have to be the one to take
02:06care of my brother because, you know, and everyone.
02:09Everyone really told me na, when your mom's gone, you really have to be the one to step up and
02:17make sure na he's okay.
02:19So, that's going back to, ano, the wife topic.
02:23If my wife doesn't accept my brother, no na.
02:26I really can't handle that.
02:30Because, he, yeah, he's, you know, I can't live without him.
02:37Sometimes he, sometimes he can live without me, but, you know, I can't live without him.
02:42When it's me, my, when it's me, my mom, my brother in the bed, you know, because we still sleep
02:49together.
02:49But some kuya sleeps in the nurse's station now.
02:52It's when I'm most happiest.
02:54Yes, especially when he's not kulit at night and me and mom get to sleep and he's all quiet.
03:00That's why actually now he's in the nurse's room, his own room.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Because sometimes mama really needs to sleep, you know, because of her condition.
03:09But when is everything serene and zen, that's when I'm most happiest talaga.
03:15Chrissy, dito natin tapusin.
03:18Ano ang dasal mo ngayon sa buhay?
03:20So, mas natanggap ko that there is a beginning and an end.
03:28And mas kaya kong harapin na when I sleep, I may not wake up.
03:38That's a reality that not many people have to face on a nightly basis.
03:46But for me, tanggap na tanggap ko na yun.
03:50And sometimes also, I pray na if that will happen, I hope that bim the snop with me.
04:01There was one time na my mom wanted me, you remember this, she wanted me to sleep away.
04:08Because it's really one of those bad days talaga.
04:13Honey, I don't want you to be the one to find me if I pass.
04:19I said na parang it's not fair and you should not be alone.
04:25For me, mom, I'd prefer to be the one to find you.
04:28It might sound morbid, but it's a special moment eh.
04:33No matter how morbid it is, it's special.
04:36Because it's with you.
04:37I get it.
04:38Yes, pero parang, as you said, I was 38 when my mom passed.
04:46And she suffered for a year and five months.
04:53So parang, nakita namin na, um, that she fought and she did that because she knew we were not ready.
05:04This has been going on with me for five and a half years.
05:12And that's, for someone as young as him, that's, that's too much.
05:18So ako talaga ang, sana on a, when it's time, I don't want to die at home.
05:28I would like to be in a hospital and, um, I hope to make it to 60.
05:36Kasi, I feel that, um, siguro pinagdarasal ko rin, or siguro it's about time, na sa 2027,
05:52tayong dalawa, whether it's just a special, whether we will have our own podcast, we will be together again.
06:02Let's do it.
06:03Yeah.
06:04That will be the best 20th birthday present ever.
06:07What is your prayer for, uh, Kuya Joshan, for Bim?
06:11That everything that Bim said about that responsibility na kailangan nandyan para sa kuya niya,
06:21huwag sanang mawala yun.
06:23And, um, sana talaga, ang kuya naman niya, forever niyang maramdaman yung pagmamahal nila sa isa't isa.
06:38And si kuya sana mag-thank you na mag-thank you.
06:44Dahil, um, Bim will have to work doubly hard because he will be supporting two families.
06:54And, um, what I can be proud of, though, is that, um, I've never felt na magkaiba silang tatay.
07:06Pero, they've, they've always been, like, yung parang, hindi mo makikita yun sa kanila.
07:14Na talagang parang nagmamahalan sila, nagkakatampuhan din.
07:19Yeah.
07:21Okay, Bim.
07:23And yung, ano, and ano silang dalawa, um, nakakabiyahay sila na silang dalawa lang, ah.
07:30So, um, I'm so proud that Bim is that responsible already.
07:36And I, I'm very, very blessed na, um, the two boys are, are happy where we are.
07:48Yung, yung, parang, ano sila?
07:51Yung, well, we're happy where we are because we have you.
07:56What are you praying for, George?
07:58Um, there was a time na he had high blood pressure, and, um, recently lang to, and, yung...
08:08Yeah, a few days ago.
08:10Yeah.
08:11And mataas yung BP, um, he meron siya nung GERD.
08:18Um, he, he wasn't really at the best of health, but because it takes a village, um, he has been,
08:31um, walking every morning, and that's really at sunrise.
08:37And then, um, um, at sunset, more walking, and nagzuzumba siya.
08:46Yes, his favorite.
08:47Yeah, he loves zuzumba.
08:48So, um, um, you know, um, pag, pag, meron kang mga disability, uh, kadalasan daw maiksi ang buhay.
09:03Kasi, uh, meron mga, hindi mo nasasabi na ito yung nararamdaman mo, or ito yung mga nagiging problema.
09:14But, I, I really hope na si Kuya Josh, who is 31 years old now, um, sana yung, yung buhay
09:28niya is showered with so much love.
09:31And may that love continue to grow.
09:37And I hope na, um, we will be more aware na he and Josh can read, he can write, and,
09:48um, yung comprehension niya.
09:52It's, so, it's, it's because we had early intervention.
09:58So, sana buhay, yung ako, ang pagdarasal ko na hopefully in his name, meron din tayong mga, um, smaller schools.
10:12Sana meron na pondo para, um, meron din naman silang, um, matutunan ng mga livelihood skills.
10:25Because not everyone is as fortunate as Kuya.
10:29So, I hope for that, and maybe that's also something that we can push for.
