00:13 Are you ready to take off?
00:15 Yes.
00:19 How far are your limitations?
00:29 I'm doing what the director needs me to do.
00:34 Stand up.
00:39 Take off your clothes.
00:50 Now?
00:53 Here?
00:56 Yes.
00:57 [music]
01:07 It's rare to see her in her current state.
01:11 Since becoming a bold star, she has successfully entered the world of politics.
01:17 Now, she is one of the most sought-after councilors in their town in Talavera, Nueva Ecija.
01:23 Dear friends, this is the story of the sexy star-turned-councilor, Barbara Milano.
01:30 [music]
01:51 [music]
02:13 [chatter]
02:23 Dayang, let me see your hair.
02:26 Dayang, you've been talking to me for a while now. Why are you so sad?
02:34 I'm not sad at all, Ms. Bukal.
02:37 It's because the people here love me so much. I hope one day I'll be like them.
02:45 Oh, this kid is dreaming.
02:48 You know, my child, only the rich become politicians.
02:52 So, don't hope for anything. Just buy me some vegetables.
02:55 How much is this?
02:57 Just two.
02:58 I'll buy this bitter melon because I'm going to cut it.
03:01 How much is this? Just two?
03:03 Yes.
03:04 Okay.
03:06 This is two pesos, right?
03:07 Yes.
03:08 Then, I have a loan of three pesos.
03:10 Yes.
03:11 Five pesos, all of it.
03:12 I'll give you ten. You'll pay me back five.
03:14 Okay?
03:15 Here's ten.
03:16 Here. Take this.
03:18 Here you go.
03:20 Dayang, I shouldn't have been paying you.
03:24 You still owe me, right?
03:26 Tell your mother. It's been a long time.
03:30 Don't worry, Ms. Martha. I'll tell my mother.
03:34 I'm sorry.
03:36 We won't deceive you because we've been with you for a long time.
03:41 I know that.
03:42 I've been buying from you since you were a child.
03:45 But, remind your mother that we're both having a hard time.
03:50 So, let's help each other.
03:53 Okay.
03:54 I'll go ahead.
04:02 From childhood to adulthood, Barbara was born in the poverty of their life.
04:31 Have you washed your uniform and your siblings' uniform?
04:35 Yes, Mom. They're done.
04:37 Mine is just for tomorrow.
04:39 It might not dry.
04:43 You'll use it tomorrow. Your father is there.
04:47 How's the facade?
04:51 It's weak.
04:54 Weak?
04:55 Yes.
04:56 Have you eaten?
04:58 Not yet. Let's eat.
05:00 Wait a minute. Your son...
05:01 Why?
05:03 He wants to join the game.
05:05 What's that?
05:06 Beauty contest in their school.
05:09 You don't want that?
05:11 He'll see the beauty of our country.
05:13 He has a problem. He needs money to buy clothes.
05:19 Can't you just borrow clothes?
05:25 Clothes?
05:26 I'm sorry, son.
05:36 We don't have money for that.
05:40 But I know that they have something that they don't have.
05:45 You're beautiful.
05:48 And I'm sure you'll win.
05:51 [birds chirping]
05:53 Let's eat.
05:56 Let's eat.
05:58 Okay.
05:59 Let's eat, Dayang.
06:01 Where's Mom?
06:12 She's having a hard time borrowing your clothes.
06:15 Mom, Mom, here.
06:18 Here.
06:19 Son, this is all I borrowed for you.
06:28 Sister, your clothes look so different from the clothes of your opponents.
06:41 They're wearing makeup.
06:43 Look at the clothes that Dayang is wearing.
06:47 Let it be, Pa. He looks ugly.
06:49 He looks like a fool.
06:51 He looks ugly.
06:53 He's just a kid.
06:55 Mom, let's go home.
07:00 Let's go.
07:04 Dad, here's your water.
07:14 Thank you, son.
07:15 Thank you, son.
07:16 You didn't join the contest. Why?
07:26 I don't know, Dad.
07:28 Maybe they'll laugh at me.
07:30 And maybe Mom will forgive them.
07:33 You know what, son?
07:36 Whatever you do in your life,
07:43 remember that we won't embarrass you like your mom.
07:46 If you want to do something, you should fight for it.
07:53 That's the only way you can measure the strength of your personality.
07:58 Yes, Dad.
08:03 That's the only thing I really want.
08:11 You'll get through this.
08:13 That's my best possibility.
08:19 I don't have anything to do.
08:27 The only thing I can do,
08:34 is to finish your studies.
08:40 Brother,
08:41 even if you have to leave our homeland,
08:51 we'll do it for you.
08:57 Son,
09:02 do your best.
09:09 Do your best.
09:10 Okay, Mom.
09:15 Do your best.
09:17 Barbara continued her studies.
09:22 And to meet her siblings' needs,
09:25 Barbara's parents forced her to leave their homeland.
09:30 Fortunately, Barbara finished her midwifery course.
09:35 But what they expected to change in their life,
09:38 it still became a disaster.
09:39 Congratulations, my son.
09:42 I'm so happy. Your father is so happy.
09:45 You're so good. You're already a graduate.
09:48 Let it be, Mom.
09:51 Next time, I'll be the one who graduates from college. Right, Mom?
09:55 Okay.
10:02 Okay, just eat.
10:03 Eat. You eat.
10:06 Dad, who are you talking to?
10:08 And why did he take our tricycle?
10:10 Oh, that?
10:12 Let it be, son.
10:14 Our tricycle is old.
10:16 It was paid for by our debts.
10:19 It's okay.
10:23 But,
10:27 but Dad, where will we get our livelihood?
10:34 Our land is already ruined, right?
10:37 Don't worry. There's a field there, on the other side of the field.
10:42 I'll just plant my crops there.
10:44 I wish I would just stop studying.
10:53 We don't have anything left.
10:55 We don't have anything left, right?
10:57 Son,
11:01 if your father and I will educate you,
11:03 even if it's just for two years,
11:06 we can already raise that.
11:10 Yes, son.
11:14 You know, we can live.
11:18 We can endure.
11:20 What you need to fix is your life.
11:25 And promise us that you will do everything you can
11:30 so that your life won't be like your mother's.
11:33 That one day,
11:35 we will also raise you.
11:38 I will not embarrass you in my life.
11:49 I promise you that one day,
11:55 you will raise me.
11:58 You will raise me.
11:59 Come on, eat.
12:06 Congratulations.
12:12 Your pancit is delicious.
12:14 Mom, look at this. It's a beautiful flower that my sister brought.
12:22 Mom, it's a beautiful rubber shoes. Look, even this walkman.
12:26 It's mine.
12:27 Hey, Dayang, look at this.
12:28 My sister sent this from Japan.
12:31 My fans are so nice.
12:33 Yes, they are.
12:34 Hey, they say that the income is good there.
12:36 I will go there next time.
12:38 Hey, Dayang, why don't you want to travel?
12:41 Look, all our neighbors are almost going on a trip because of Japan.
12:45 You have a show in Manila that has a promotion.
12:48 Why don't you contact them?
12:50 You are also a waste of your beauty if you will just rot here in the province.
12:53 Think about that.
12:56 Okay, hide that.
12:57 Because there is no job in the province, Barbara went to Manila.
13:04 This is where she started her dream of going to Japan.
13:09 Hey, Dayang, what's the rush?
13:14 Uncle, I just got on the bus.
13:18 What? Are you kidding?
13:20 Uncle, I just got on the bus.
13:24 What do you mean?
13:25 You haven't been to Nueva Ecija in your whole life?
13:28 Yes.
13:30 Oh my, what will happen to you if you will ride an airplane to Japan?
13:34 Are you okay now?
13:36 Let's go to the promotions.
13:39 Because of the sexy and beautiful,
13:42 Barbara's process of leaving to Japan was so fast.
13:46 This is the beginning of their promotion to life.
13:50 But this is not what happened.
13:54 27 years old?
13:56 You look like you are 17.
13:58 Sir, no. I am already 27.
14:03 Marites Gutierrez?
14:05 Is this you? This is not you.
14:08 It's me, sir. It's me.
14:10 This is too much.
14:14 Your passport is gay.
14:16 Shut up.
14:18 Sir,
14:20 Sir, please have mercy.
14:21 Let me go, sir.
14:23 Sir, I am just the one who is being waited by my family.
14:25 Please have mercy.
14:27 I will just work there.
14:29 Let me go, sir.
14:31 You know what?
14:33 I feel sorry for you.
14:35 I understand you.
14:37 But if I will let you go,
14:39 you might be harassed in Japan.
14:41 It's better if you go home
14:45 and tell your family that you are being sent away.
14:49 Huh?
14:50 Barbara was forced to go to Manila because of poverty.
15:08 She planned to work in Japan
15:10 and she easily found an opportunity.
15:13 But she had a problem in her going away
15:17 because she was not only gay,
15:18 but also her age and her passport.
15:21 Uncle, what should I do?
15:23 What can I do?
15:25 You know, I am the only one who is being waited by us.
15:27 And if I will go to Japan,
15:29 I will just go to Japan to send my family away from poverty.
15:32 You are really like that, Ehi.
15:34 Sometimes, you are arrogant.
15:36 Sometimes, you are stupid.
15:38 Let's go through your papers again.
15:40 But you should cool down first.
15:42 And my grandchildren, don't understand.
15:46 It's your children's duty to help you.
15:48 But you know, Ehi,
15:51 I have something else that I am thinking for you.
15:54 What is that?
15:56 I want to make you an artist.
15:59 Uncle, are you fooling me?
16:04 In Japan, I was not accepted and I was not sent away.
16:07 You will make me an artist?
16:10 You really don't have any feelings for your uncle.
16:15 Do you know that I know a lot of showbiz writers?
16:17 Do you want to help me?
16:19 What should I do?
16:23 It's up to you.
16:26 After going to Japan,
16:32 Barbara thought of getting into the film industry.
16:37 [Music]
16:59 Sexy.
17:01 Okay, nice.
17:03 I will just download my safe card.
17:06 Thanks.
17:07 Uncle, what is your uncle's name?
17:19 Diang, Ana, he is your uncle, Bir Gonzales.
17:23 One of the showbiz writers that I told you about.
17:25 He is also your father as your manager.
17:28 Hello, Ana.
17:30 Don't worry, Ana.
17:32 You are the one that we will do your uncle's pet project.
17:35 You will just wake up one day and you will be very famous.
17:39 And we will use those pictures to introduce you to the world.
17:44 [Music]
18:01 Uncle, am I not done yet?
18:04 Not yet, you still have a scene to do.
18:06 Uncle, is that really a show?
18:08 Don't be noisy, they are rehearsing.
18:10 This show is about crime.
18:13 This is okay because at least you can practice facing the camera and acting.
18:17 You are lucky that you have a racket.
18:20 Is my speech complete here?
18:23 It's complete, sir Ronnie.
18:25 Okay, just call me when the set is ready.
18:27 Okay, sir.
18:29 I will introduce you to Ronnie, he is the host of the show and a famous police reporter.
18:33 Come here.
18:34 Ronnie, hi.
18:36 Oh, Wil, how are you?
18:38 I'm good. I want to introduce you to Ana, my actress.
18:42 Hi, Ana.
18:45 Hi.
18:46 I watched your scene earlier in the reenactment.
18:50 You are good.
18:52 Thank you very much.
19:00 Barbara did not expect that her occasional guest in a TV show
19:05 will lead to an unexpected relationship.
19:10 Don't be an actress, I will take care of you.
19:15 What will you take care of me?
19:20 I will support you.
19:23 I will give you what you need.
19:26 That's okay for me, it's a big help.
19:29 But until when?
19:33 Until you are not yet a widow of your husband?
19:37 You are so stupid.
19:41 I'm not stupid.
19:44 You know, I like you.
19:53 I also accept your stupidity.
19:56 But I hope that you will let me have a career.
20:03 I will prove it to you.
20:06 I will audition.
20:08 And I hope that I will be the first producer that they will like me.
20:18 You know, I am doing this for my family, for the future of my family.
20:23 And I will do this for them, so that they will not be in a hard time.
20:28 I am happy, I am also happy.
20:33 But I also want my family to be happy.
20:37 You understand me, right?
20:44 You understand me, right?
20:45 Are you ready to get married?
21:09 Yes.
21:13 Yes.
21:14 What are your limitations?
21:19 If the director needs me, I will do it.
21:28 Stand up.
21:35 [footsteps]
21:37 You are a widow.
21:44 Now?
21:47 Here?
21:50 Yes.
21:51 [sighs]
21:53 [phone rings]
21:58 [phone rings]
22:00 Your chest is a bit small, but it looks good.
22:09 But it's okay.
22:13 You can cry, you can.
22:16 Thank you.
22:19 [sighs]
22:21 [music]
22:34 With the help of her talent manager, Vir Gonzales,
22:43 Barbara gradually became famous in the field of film making.
22:48 She did not fear to remove the soap in front of the camera.
22:51 She was also invited to appear in various shows in the provinces.
22:55 But in all of these, Barbara did not lose her dream to help her family.
23:03 After saving a little money, Barbara immediately started to recover her land and house
23:12 that her parents left because of poverty.
23:17 How are you, Domeng? We have already paid you.
23:19 Is it complete?
23:21 Yes, Ineng. This is the title.
23:23 Thank you very much.
23:26 I thought you would let me use your land.
23:29 Okay, I will go now.
23:31 Thank you very much again.
23:33 Dad, this is the title of our land.
23:38 You know, I thought I would not be able to hold this title.
23:43 Thank you very much.
23:46 You are so kind, you will not lose this title.
23:50 Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
23:55 You know, this is just the beginning.
23:59 I will build this house next.
24:03 How about us?
24:05 You can continue your studies.
24:08 [cheers]
24:11 Barbara is happy with the course of her life until...
24:15 You know, Ronny's relationship with you is already a mess.
24:19 Even his wife is already out and getting angry.
24:23 That kind of publicity is not good for your career.
24:28 That is double negative.
24:31 She is already a bold star and she is still a virgin.
24:34 She will steal her husband.
24:40 I know that this situation is coming.
24:42 I expected this.
24:44 So what will you do?
24:48 I will just end it.
24:56 Is it that easy?
25:00 You will not love the person?
25:03 You will not love the person?
25:04 What do you want me to do?
25:14 Your wife left us.
25:18 We are done.
25:20 We can still be friends, right?
25:25 Yes.
25:31 I will be fine.
25:32 We have talked about this.
25:41 That if you get pregnant, she will not allow it.
25:45 I don't have any plans to be your wife or your family.
25:51 And I never thought of destroying the family of someone who has a family.
25:59 I'm sorry.
26:00 Remember this.
26:11 Whenever you need me, I'm always here for you.
26:18 Okay.
26:19 You know that I love you too, right?
26:30 Do you love me too?
26:37 What do you think?
26:42 What do you think?
26:43 I hope tomorrow will be better.
26:47 Sometimes my heart asks for hope.
26:56 I think that tomorrow we will be together.
27:03 I just want to be with you.
27:07 I hope it will be different.
27:13 Tomorrow, I will be alone.
27:19 My heart is talking.
27:22 My conversation is not getting any deeper.
27:27 But in love,
27:29 To forget the pain of the heart,
27:38 Barbara absorbed herself in her work.
27:41 She did a lot of movies and provincial shows.
27:44 She was able to build her own house.
27:47 She also bought two cars.
27:50 But because of her work, she also received a lot of love from other men.
27:57 I thought that I will be a show in your province, Mayor.
27:59 That's why you invited me here.
28:01 Oh, but it's a different show.
28:10 How much is it?
28:11 You're so arrogant, Mayor.
28:15 I'm not arrogant.
28:18 Oh, is that so?
28:20 Okay, give me the right price.
28:24 Name your price.
28:26 If I have a brand new expedition tomorrow,
28:33 that you can give me,
28:34 that is under my name,
28:35 you will taste it.
28:38 Expedition?
28:39 Yes, that's it.
28:41 You love it?
28:43 You're rich, right?
28:46 Oh, I mean, you're rich, Mayor.
28:48 Do I love you, Mayor?
28:55 You know what, Boss?
28:58 I want to be your prank.
29:01 You're a kind and sweet person.
29:05 But, but how many movies can you make for me?
29:10 It seems like I will have a hard time with the contract you want to get from me.
29:17 We're just friends, Boss.
29:19 And you will replace me if you have a new artiste, right?
29:24 You're so naive.
29:26 Of all the bold stars I know,
29:29 you're the one who has a brain, do you know that?
29:33 Okay, friends.
29:35 Can you do it, Congressman?
29:38 What do you mean?
29:41 I'm a breadwinner in our family.
29:46 I have a lot of needs.
29:47 You know what I mean?
29:49 I will give you everything you need,
29:51 but there's a substitute, there's a sustain.
29:54 I can't really keep a one night stand.
29:56 The relationship I'm giving you, Congressman,
29:58 I will be honest with you,
30:01 I will be your guardian,
30:03 but I want you to be like that to me.
30:06 How can I do that? I already have a wife.
30:08 A wife, yes.
30:10 But I want you to keep me as your only partner.
30:12 It's better to be clear, right Congressman?
30:15 Barbara has received a lot of indecent proposals,
30:21 but she rejected all of them.
30:23 But one of Barbara's courtiers changed her decision.
30:29 What's this, Congressman, that you gave me my number?
30:31 Maybe this is another type of DM.
30:33 We met Dondo when you were on the show in Dumaguete.
30:38 He's a kid.
30:40 What's wrong with you? Don't you remember him?
30:42 His family is prominent.
30:45 And his brother is also a showbiz star.
30:47 Oh, really?
30:49 You don't know anything about the world.
30:52 You know, you'll read the newspaper sometimes, okay?
30:56 Hey, hey, he's a good guy.
30:58 He's a good guy.
30:59 Wait, someone's coming.
31:01 Maybe he's here. He's here.
31:03 Okay, bye.
31:05 Hi, Anna.
31:17 Hi.
31:19 I'm Dondo.
31:20 Maybe you don't remember me, right?
31:22 Sorry, but yes.
31:24 That's okay.
31:27 Shall we go?
31:28 Sure. Thank you.
31:30 To forget the pain in her heart,
31:47 Barbara forced herself to work.
31:50 She did a lot of movies and provincial shows.
31:55 Gradually, she was able to build her own house.
31:57 She also bought two cars.
32:00 But because of her line of work,
32:03 she also received a lot of love from different men.
32:07 I thought you were going to show me around the province, Mayor.
32:10 That's why you invited me here.
32:12 Oh, but it's a different show.
32:15 How much do you want?
32:24 You're so arrogant, Mayor.
32:25 I'm not arrogant.
32:27 Oh, really?
32:29 Okay, give me for the right price.
32:34 Name your price.
32:36 If I have a brand new expedition tomorrow,
32:42 that you can give me, it's in my name.
32:45 You'll taste it.
32:48 Expedition?
32:51 Yes, that's it.
32:53 That's expensive.
32:54 Aren't you rich?
32:57 I mean, you're rich, Mayor.
33:00 Do I love you, Mayor?
33:06 You know, Boss,
33:10 I want to be your friend.
33:12 You're a kind and sweet person.
33:15 But,
33:17 but how many movies can you make for me?
33:21 It seems like I'll have a hard time with the contract you want to get from me.
33:26 Let's be friends, Boss Ying.
33:28 And you'll replace me if you have a new actress, right?
33:33 You're so naive.
33:35 Of all the bold stars I've met,
33:38 you're the one who's smart, do you know that?
33:41 Okay, friends.
33:44 Can you convince me?
33:49 Can you convince me, Congressman?
33:51 What do you mean?
33:53 I'm a breadwinner in our family.
33:58 I have a lot of needs.
34:00 You know what I mean.
34:02 I'll give you everything you need, but there's a substitute, a sustenance.
34:06 I'm not really doing a one night stand.
34:08 I'm giving you a relationship, Congressman.
34:11 I'll be honest with you, I'll take care of you.
34:14 But what I want is, you'll be like that to me.
34:17 How can I do that? I already have a wife.
34:19 A wife, yes. But I want to be your partner.
34:22 It's better to be clear, right Congressman?
34:26 Barbara has received a lot of indecent proposals,
34:31 but she rejected all of them.
34:33 But one of Barbara's courtiers changed her decision.
34:38 Who is this Congressman that you gave me my number?
34:41 Maybe he's a DM again.
34:45 We met Dondo when you were on the show in Dumaguete.
34:48 He's a kid.
34:50 What's wrong with you? Don't you remember him?
34:52 His family is prominent.
34:54 And his brother is also a showbiz star.
34:57 Oh, really?
34:59 You don't know anything about the world.
35:02 You know, you'll just read the newspaper once in a while.
35:05 Hey, he's a good person.
35:08 Wait, someone's coming. Maybe he's here.
35:12 He's here. Okay, bye.
35:15 [music]
35:16 Hi, Ana.
35:27 I'm Dondo.
35:29 Maybe you don't remember me.
35:31 Sorry, but yes.
35:33 That's okay. We have the whole evening to get to know each other.
35:37 Shall we go?
35:39 Sure. Thank you.
35:41 [music]
35:42 After falling in love,
35:56 Barbara thought that maybe her boldness
36:00 is the obstacle to her desire for respect and recognition for her personality.
36:07 Because of this, Barbara thought of joining politics
36:11 to prove to her opponents that she can do more than just make a film.
36:17 Can I talk to Gov?
36:19 Ma'am, please wait for Gov.
36:21 What is the boy doing here?
36:31 Oh, my. Don't you know?
36:36 The councilor ran to their place.
36:38 Does Gov have a plan to join the party?
36:42 He's so strong-willed.
36:44 He's so arrogant.
36:47 At first, Barbara received various criticisms
36:52 because of her decision.
36:54 But she didn't allow herself to be affected by these.
36:58 Gov, there are two vacancies for the council in our town.
37:05 Maybe I can join them, Gov.
37:07 I'll be straight with you, Barbara.
37:11 You're a bold star.
37:14 What do you know about politics?
37:18 And what can you do for our town?
37:23 Your fellow party members have a lot of connections in our town.
37:29 But I, Gov,
37:32 because of the many towns I visit, because of my shows,
37:36 I know a lot of people and I know a lot of people with influence.
37:41 And believe it or not,
37:44 I also studied political science because of the many politicians I met.
37:50 One thing, I finished my studies.
37:53 But all of that was covered
37:57 because of my boldness.
38:01 Okay.
38:02 Let's assume that you know a lot about politics.
38:06 But I'm still not convinced that you can do good for our party.
38:12 If it's just fame,
38:15 I know all the people in our town.
38:18 And most importantly, Gov,
38:21 like many of them, I also come from a poor family.
38:24 I know how it feels to be a pauper.
38:29 To live in a small house and to be able to enjoy the sun.
38:34 Gov, I'm more like a person.
38:40 They are closer to my heart and I'm closer to their hearts.
38:45 And if you give me a chance,
38:48 I would like to help them.
38:51 I would like to help them.
38:53 Koshian, come in.
39:13 Hi.
39:21 [soft music]
39:23 Why are you here?
39:25 I heard that you're going to be a candidate.
39:28 You might need my help.
39:30 This is my support for you.
39:33 This is from your friend, the producer.
39:40 Good luck.
39:45 And I'm proud of you.
39:48 What should I do? I'm going to continue.
39:50 My husband might be looking for me.
39:52 Thank you very much.
39:55 Thank you.
40:05 Take care.
40:08 [soft music]
40:10 My next candidate is Miss Barbara Milano.
40:26 [applause]
40:29 [applause]
40:31 Good evening to all of you.
40:39 Unlike Consuelo Espino,
40:46 this is my first time to be here.
40:49 And I would like to support you.
40:54 [cheering]
40:57 [soft music]
40:59 If you want to see me in the field,
41:05 why don't you watch my movies?
41:10 And if you don't have money,
41:14 don't worry, I'll give you a pass.
41:17 Is that okay?
41:24 I'm not here to be taken away.
41:30 I'm here to talk to you.
41:40 I'm talking to you hoping that you'll help me
41:49 to prove to everyone
41:52 that the poor like us can also rise to life.
42:00 And to get the respect of people.
42:08 Yes, I'm a bold star.
42:18 [soft music]
42:20 I don't deny what I'm ashamed of.
42:26 Just like you,
42:30 who are giving blood and sweat every day
42:36 so that your family can have food,
42:39 your loved ones in life.
42:47 I did it because I want to improve my family's life.
42:55 And to give my siblings a better future.
43:05 Yes, just like you.
43:15 Yes, just like you, I also went through hardships.
43:19 And just like you, I also wished
43:26 to leave,
43:30 to leave this place.
43:33 And if there's a way,
43:41 a way to get out of there,
43:44 that's nothing but a dream.
43:51 A dream of why I'm doing this,
44:00 to run as a queen in this country.
44:08 [soft music]
44:11 I hope you'll support me.
44:15 I hope you'll guide me
44:20 to achieve those dreams.
44:24 Because one of my dreams
44:33 is to help my fellow countrymen
44:37 to live a better life.

46:40 Dad, where are the two of them? Why is it taking so long?
46:43 Yeah, what's happening to the two of them? I'm getting nervous.
46:46 Don't be like that to the two of them. I'm getting nervous too.
46:54 Ate! Ate! Ate!
46:55 What? What happened to the numbers? Come on, get inside.
46:58 What happened? Did I get in even if it's just the 6th or 7th? Even if it's just the last one?
47:03 Ate, don't be upset.
47:06 Because even if it's the 6th or 7th, you're not there.
47:11 Even if it's the last one, you're not there.
47:14 [dramatic music]
47:18 [dramatic music]
47:23 [dramatic music]
47:26 [dramatic music]
47:28 Ate, don't be sad.
47:31 Because the only thing you're really fighting for is the 1st and 2nd place.
47:38 Ate, people are saying that you won.
47:41 Huh? Is that true?
47:44 It's true.
47:46 You're telling the truth?
47:48 It's true!
47:51 Son, you heard it. It's true.
47:53 I won.
47:55 We won.
47:57 You're telling the truth?
47:59 Yes, Mother.
48:01 We won, Son.
48:03 We won, Mother.
48:05 [dramatic music]
48:07 Son, we raised you so well.
48:12 We love you so much.
48:15 [dramatic music]
48:18 [dramatic music]
48:21 [dramatic music]
48:23 [dramatic music]
48:25 [dramatic music]
48:27 [dramatic music]
48:29 Barbara, congratulations, Son.
48:31 For winning number one, right?
48:33 Yes.
48:34 In the mercy of God.
48:36 That's amazing.
48:38 How did you think of joining politics?
48:41 Someone advised me.
48:43 What did you think of?
48:46 What did you expect to change?
48:48 The main problem for us is the rough road and the livelihood.
48:53 Then I said, I have a lot of friends who are politicians.
48:57 They can help me a lot.
48:59 How did you have a lot of friends who are politicians?
49:02 I had a boyfriend who is a politician.
49:04 Then a columnist followed.
49:07 Because through my two boyfriends, our friends spread out.
49:15 How is your life now?
49:16 It's hard. I'm a first-timer.
49:18 I'm in my first term in politics.
49:21 That's why I'm adjusting. I'm really adjusting.
49:24 When you thought of running, didn't you feel that you were being judged for being a bold star?
49:33 Sometimes, someone told me, "You were the bold star before, right?"
49:37 "Halang-Halang won, she's number one."
49:39 So, it's like...
49:41 You're a bold star now.
49:44 But now, I've accepted myself.
49:46 How far do you want to go?
49:48 I don't want to talk about it anymore.
49:51 Because what you said is already established here.
49:56 How is your personal life now?
49:58 Maybe, someone will court me, auntie.
50:01 No one will court you?
50:03 Why is that? Especially, I think nobody will court me in showbiz.
50:06 Is that so? Do you need a politician too?
50:08 Maybe, I want a politician too.
50:11 Don't you regret it? And, it didn't last until you got a boyfriend?
50:15 No, I don't regret it. Maybe, that's how my life is.
50:21 Will you go back to being a bold star?
50:24 I don't want to anymore.
50:26 Why? It doesn't fit anymore.
50:28 Can you say that, Barbara, that there's a bad reputation for being a bold star?
50:37 There really is.
50:40 Even if you're beautiful, sexy, and your skin is clean,
50:44 if you're a bold star, you're a bold star.
50:46 And that's what you want to overcome.
50:49 Well, Barbara, I hope you find that politician that you're looking for,
50:56 and that you'll have someone to help you in serving your country.
50:59 Thank you very much.
51:01 Thank you very much.
51:03 Auntie Mel, I just want to thank GMA,
51:07 and to all of your staff, they were so patient to call me.
51:12 They were really patient.
51:14 They were willing to tell me their story.
51:17 I'm really thankful to you, Auntie Mel, and to everyone.
51:21 Thank you very much.
51:23 And to all of those who helped me here in winning the election,
51:32 thank you very much.
51:35 To my family, my parents, thank you.
51:38 And to all who supported me and accepted me as a bold star and won the election.
51:43 Thank you very much to all of you.
51:46 To all the people in the showbiz, even if they don't know me now,
51:52 or sometimes I'm showing myself to you,
51:56 and if you still support me, thank you.
51:59 And of course, Auntie Mel, to our Lord.
52:04 Good luck to you, Ma'am Graciela.
52:05 Barbara's reputation as a bold woman
52:09 was because of her decision to have her sex in front of the camera.
52:12 But she continued to prove that beyond her boldness, she has other abilities.
52:19 And this is her experience of serving her fellow countrymen
52:24 through serving the government.
52:27 This is an ambition that was fulfilled
52:30 because of Barbara's effort to change the direction of her life.
52:36 I am Mel Tianko, and this is the story of each one of us.
52:42 Now, tomorrow, and forever.
