00:00 So what would you say is your darkest or lowest moment in your showbiz career?
00:07 I cannot avoid saying that my past,
00:18 where I was on vacation for 4 years and 6 months because of dirty politics,
00:25 and I vindicated it, the truth came out.
00:28 That's when I was happy that the Filipino people accepted me,
00:37 my supporters.
00:39 Everyone has their own trials,
00:41 but we will overcome all of those trials.
00:45 They still supported me, they accepted me again.
00:53 That's why I said, Bong Rebilla's life is not enough to pay them.
00:59 So in celebrating 50 years in showbiz,
01:03 we cannot forget how it all started.
01:07 Of course, this is about your father, the late Senator Ramon Rebilla Sr.
01:12 Before we talk about him,
01:16 watch this first.
01:19 [Music]
01:30 When I am down and oh my soul so weary,
01:38 When troubles come and my heart burdened be,
01:46 Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
01:54 Until you come and sit awhile with me.
02:03 As a mother, I have nothing to ask of him.
02:06 He has surpassed my expectations,
02:08 and he has made me and his family proud of him.
02:11 You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.
02:19 You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.
02:27 May the Lord shower you with more blessings,
02:31 and while you continue giving blessings to others.
02:35 And I pray that this will be fulfilled.
02:39 You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.
02:47 You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.
02:56 I am strong when I am on your shoulders.
03:04 Keep up the good work, my son.
03:06 I could not ask for anything more from a son like you.
03:10 You raise me up to more than I can be.
03:24 I love you, baby. I love you more.
03:27 [Music]
03:31 That's amazing.
03:44 In the video I watched,
03:46 I saw that you were very close to your father.
03:57 In fact, until now, he is no longer with us.
04:07 If I don't visit him every Sunday,
04:14 I dream of him.
04:19 He reminds me of me.
04:21 That's why I'm always there.
04:23 If I can, I'll be there every Sunday.
04:25 If I miss that Sunday,
04:30 I will do everything I can to visit him.
04:38 We became closer.
04:42 We bonded.
04:44 You taught me how to be strong.
04:50 That moment when I was inside the cram school,
04:58 he gave me strength.
05:00 He said, "Son, the truth will come out.
05:04 Just hold on to God. Just pray."
05:10 I will not let my hair turn gray
05:12 until I get out of jail.
05:17 I believe that I will get out of jail.
05:21 It didn't work out.
05:24 I said, "Dad, you need to..."
05:27 My father was a vain person.
05:29 He was tough.
05:32 When the time came,
05:34 I said, "Dad, dye your hair.
05:36 I want your life to last longer
05:38 so you won't feel that you're that old.
05:40 You'll feel like you're still young."
05:42 After I got out of jail,
05:47 he was gone.
05:53 He waited for me.
05:57 He prayed for me to get out of jail.
06:01 When I got out,
06:05 he signed me off.
06:08 If Don Ramon were still alive,
06:11 what would you tell him?
06:13 I've been a showbiz dad for 50 years.
06:20 "Dad, I owe it to you.
06:21 I won't be Bong Rebilla
06:23 if you don't have a name.
06:24 I won't be Bong Rebilla
06:25 if it's not because of you."
06:27 Yes, that's true.
06:30 "You owe it all to me, O.G."
06:36 laughs
06:38 You raise me up
06:43 to more than I can be.
