03:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:37 Isabel?
03:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:40 [LAUGHTER]
03:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:13 [LAUGHTER]
04:15 So you can also do that, right?
04:16 You can direct and you can act.
04:17 Yes.
04:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:20 How are you spending it?
04:21 How are you celebrating Christmas?
04:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:39 I mean, do you think about gifts?
04:41 I mean, what gift am I going to give Miguel and vice versa?
04:44 Usually, when it's Christmas, what we give each other, we have a system.
04:52 - Like a wish list. - We get used to it.
04:54 On Christmas, we're more on the practical side.
04:57 We give small gifts, but on the practical side on Christmas.
05:01 We don't think too much about it.
05:02 We really focus on the birthday.
05:06 But for Christmas, it's more practical.
05:07 But if we're talking about Christmas gifts,
05:09 for example, a gift or a kiss, what would you choose?
05:15 I'm being serious.
05:17 Miguel?
05:19 Honestly, I'll choose a kiss.
05:21 - No, because it's priceless. - Of course.
05:25 Mama?
05:27 I'll choose a kiss.
05:29 - Mama, I'll choose a kiss. - I'll choose a kiss.
05:33 I'll answer that question first.
05:35 As long as Miguel has answered it.
05:37 You've been together for four years now.
05:39 Four years.
05:40 Is that right? Four years or around four years?
05:43 - Four years. - Around.
05:44 We've known each other, yes, for almost that time.
05:46 What's good about it?
05:48 I read somewhere, from strangers to who you are today.
05:52 Miguel said that.
05:54 What did you discover about each other?
05:56 The bad and the good.
05:58 You, Isabel?
06:00 Well, the good is I saw Miguel's work ethic.
06:05 He doesn't have biases or anything.
06:07 Because when we started to know each other,
06:10 we were friends for more than a year.
06:13 And that's when we saw each other's work ethic.
06:16 So I respect him as an actor because of that.
06:19 And of course, the good is Miguel is very caring.
06:22 And I really appreciate that.
06:24 - He's very patient. - That's still good, right?
06:26 - Yes, it's still good. - There's a lot of good here.
06:29 So he's very patient.
06:32 And I really saw his intentions in all aspects.
06:38 And his passion in everything.
06:40 - In the bad, maybe-- - I like his intentions in everything.
06:44 Including our friendship.
06:46 - Right? - Yes.
06:47 - I'm the one who said it. - Yes.
06:49 - Okay, the bad is... - The bad?
06:51 Let's not go there.
06:52 In small things, he's not patient.
06:56 Okay, you, Miguel.
06:57 The good and the bad that you discovered.
06:59 The good first, maybe, Uncle Boy.
07:01 Isabel and I are very compatible.
07:03 Even if we have a problem, we talk about it in a very mature way.
07:08 That's the good.
07:09 It's important when you have a relationship that you need to talk about the problems.
07:14 Not fighting, not shouting, not getting angry.
07:17 And the bad is...
07:20 He wakes up early.
07:23 - Early. - We're the same because we work late, right?
07:27 Yes, I'm late.
07:29 I adjust my sleeping schedule because he sleeps late.
07:34 Let's talk about "Firefly".
07:36 This is the entry of GMA Films in Metro Manila Film Festival.
07:41 And what is the movie about?
07:44 I mean, the briefest way you can describe the movie.
07:47 Isabel.
07:48 The movie is...
07:50 In the briefest way, the movie is about a child,
07:53 which is starred by you and Miguel,
07:55 who goes on a journey because of his mother telling him to be brave.
08:01 No, actually the movie says that love makes you brave.
08:06 Is that true?
08:07 I agree with the movie.
08:09 Really, Miguel?
08:10 That love makes one brave.
08:13 And another premise of the movie is...
08:16 Zig and I are in a relationship.
08:18 I was trying to call Zig Dula, your director today.
08:20 Maybe he's busy because of the premiere night.
08:23 Yes, my friend.
08:24 When you see thousands of fireflies,
08:28 you make a wish and it comes true.
08:31 This is also being discussed in the movie.
08:34 You, for example, let's say we show your characters in the movie.
08:37 As Isabel and Miguel,
08:39 when you see thousands of fireflies,
08:42 what is the wish you will make?
08:44 I wish Isabel will be successful in everything she does.
08:49 You know why it means a lot?
08:51 Because her wish is for you.
08:54 What about you, Isabel?
08:55 My wish is...
08:58 I hope...
09:01 It's hard not to wish the same thing for Miguel.
09:07 Maybe that's the reason.
09:08 Because we wish each other success.
09:12 And that's the most effective wish.
09:14 Not for you, but for your love.
09:17 Yes.
09:18 Let's do fast talk.
09:19 And I wish you luck.
09:21 Isabel and Miguel,
09:26 where did you meet first?
09:29 GMA Christmas party.
09:32 Where did you go on a date first?
09:34 Drive-thru.
09:35 We went to a drive-thru for a burger.
09:38 Yes, where did you go on a road trip first?
09:41 Cavite.
09:42 That's a long time ago.
09:43 Was it a long time ago?
09:44 As friends?

11:19 Best time for happiness?
11:20 All the time.
11:21 If you're given a chance to ask each other,
11:26 what do you want to ask Miguel to Isabel?
11:29 And Isabel, what do you want to ask Miguel?
11:33 But the answer will come later
11:35 because we also have a...
11:37 Actually, you're right.
11:38 Who posted something, I mean, who wrote us a note
11:41 because he also has an important question
11:44 that has to do with your relationship.
11:46 So we will ask and this will happen
11:49 in the return of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
11:51 We are back here in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda
12:02 with Miguel and Isabel.
12:04 Okay, question for each other.
12:06 What is it?
12:07 Who goes first?
12:09 Boys first?
12:10 Okay.
12:11 I just want to know if...
12:15 I'm nervous.
12:17 I just want to know...
12:20 I just want to know if you're genuinely happy
12:23 with what we have now.
12:25 Nothing.
12:27 I just want nothing.
12:29 You can answer that before you ask your question.
12:33 Okay.
12:34 Honestly?
12:36 Just kidding.
12:39 Of course.
12:40 Super.
12:41 Super.
12:43 You don't know how happy you make me.
12:45 Isabel, is there a specific thing
12:50 that really makes you happy?
12:52 And so far as Miguel is concerned.
12:54 Maybe...
12:57 His patience.
13:00 Because...
13:02 Well, we're together almost every day.
13:06 Even if we're not together, he always talks to me.
13:09 And I always rant to him about my problems.
13:12 Okay.
13:14 Alright, we get that.
13:15 Yeah, so...
13:16 I'm super grateful that he's always there
13:19 to listen to everything.
13:20 Why am I crying?
13:24 What do you want to ask him?
13:27 My question is...
13:29 How long are you willing to love me?
13:34 How long?
13:36 That's why I'm crying.
13:38 Me?
13:41 Uncle Boy was right earlier.
13:45 Love makes you stronger.
13:47 And I've never seen myself like this before.
13:53 So...
13:54 I'm liking the version of myself that I have now.
13:57 That's why I'm willing to wait.
14:01 Even if I'm not a patient person,
14:04 I'm waiting for a response from you.
14:07 Okay.
14:08 This is something that will only happen this afternoon
14:10 in one of our social media accounts.
14:12 This is a question from Jam Enotalio.
14:14 It's true.
14:17 They said, "I know that you've been together for almost four years now
14:20 and there has been no official admission of the label."
14:25 I mean, you know, I'm not also so much a fan of labels.
14:28 But...
14:29 We're just kidding. We're just being cute.
14:32 But I'll have to put this straight.
14:33 Jam said, "Are you officially together?"
14:36 He said, "It's Christmas."
14:37 Is that a yes? Is that a no?
14:40 Where are we?
14:41 It's Christmas.
14:42 It's Christmas.
14:43 He answered.
14:44 I'll answer, Uncle Boy.
14:46 We talked earlier.
14:49 There's a business, we're filming a school.
14:52 So, we weren't rushed, Isabel.
14:55 And we know that once you get into a relationship,
14:58 you can waste a beautiful thing.
15:01 Okay. I get that.
15:02 But exclusive?
15:04 Yes. Exclusive.
15:06 You can't court or you can't court?
15:09 I personally don't court.
15:11 Even if Isabel doesn't say it?
15:13 Even if you're not required?
15:14 Isabel, what about you?
15:15 I don't court right now.
15:17 So, you're exclusively together.
15:20 Okay. That's good enough.
15:21 Jam Enotalio, if you're watching,
15:23 that's what we're going to say.
15:24 I'm not going to answer.
15:25 Merry Christmas.
15:27 Okay. So, when are you getting married?
15:30 No, I'm kidding.
15:31 We have something here called "Best Christmas Ever."
15:35 So, this is a surprise for you,
15:37 a surprise for the kid who's coming to us.
15:40 He's been your fan since Voltus 5.
15:44 He's 8 years old and you haven't seen him yet, Miguel.
15:48 And this is the first time he's going to see you.
15:51 And this is our way, little way of granting him his best Christmas ever.
15:56 And you too, even if it's not material, but love.
16:00 Okay. So, let's call Zach Azriel de la Cruz.
16:06 Come, Zach.
16:07 Hello, Zach.
16:08 Hello, Zach.
16:13 When Zach came in, he didn't look at me.
16:15 Zach, what do you want to say to Miguel?
16:20 And to Isabel?
16:22 I'm happy that I saw them.
16:27 There. What do you wish for them? Go.
16:31 Why do you like them so much?
16:36 Because they're good artists and...
16:45 and they're their fans.
16:50 They're their fans.
16:51 You have a gift for them. Go ahead. Describe it.
16:54 What's my drawing for Voltus 5?
16:58 Steve is so handsome here.
17:02 Give it to them.
17:03 We're here.
17:04 Give it to them. You want to read it?
17:07 You want to say something, Zach?
17:10 Oh, so cute.
17:12 How long did it take you to do that?
17:14 About two hours.
17:17 Two hours.
17:18 What do you wish for them this Christmas?
17:23 I hope...
17:29 You hope?
17:32 You can do it.
17:34 What do you hope for?
17:35 You hope...
17:36 I hope they'll continue.
17:42 I'm the only one who's nervous.
17:44 Miguel, Isabel, what do you want to tell our young, good-looking boy, Zach?
17:50 I want to tell him that he's talented in drawing.
17:53 And thank you for coming. It was so nice to meet you.
17:56 And I hope you'll watch Firefly.
17:58 Hug.
17:59 Hug?
18:00 You should study hard.
18:02 Always follow your parents.
18:04 Yes, always.
18:06 We have a gift for you from us.
18:11 For Zach.
18:14 This is for you, Zach.
18:16 From all of us here.
18:17 From Miguel, Isabel, and us here at Fast Talk.
18:21 Merry Christmas.
18:22 Thank you.
18:23 Merry Christmas.
18:24 Thank you.
18:25 Thank you so much.
18:26 While Zach is in the middle, very, very quickly, invite everybody to Firefly.
18:32 Go ahead.
18:33 Yes, Kapuso, Firefly will be showing in MMFF 2023.
18:38 I hope you'll support it.
18:39 It's a beautiful film directed by Zig Dulay.
18:42 We're here with Ms. Alessandra De Ros, Ewen Micael, and of course, Sir Ding Dong Dantes.
18:48 For the kids, for the whole family.
18:50 And take note, we made this for the big screen.
18:53 So I hope you'll watch it in the cinema.
18:56 Firefly.
18:57 Firefly.
18:58 We'll see you in December 25.
19:00 As part of MMFF, we'll support you.
19:04 Before we started our program, we were here with Alessandra and her mess.
19:09 So watch out for her coming here and we'll talk to Alex.
19:14 Thank you so much.
19:16 Last question.
19:17 If you were alone, what would you call it?
19:19 The truth.
19:21 I call it "Burritos".
19:23 Okay.
19:24 Because in short, for Burrito.
19:26 In our taping, he always wraps around a pillow.
19:30 Burrito.
19:31 You call Miguel?
19:32 Two.
19:33 Pinaps or Bobet.
19:36 Because he likes Bob Ross.
19:38 And we always paint.
19:40 So I said, "Pinoy version, Bobet."
19:42 Okay.
19:43 But if you were to choose in the future, between Babe or Han, which one would you choose?
19:48 Love.
19:49 Oh.
19:50 You, Isabel, you too?
19:52 Love too.
19:53 Oh, love and love.
19:55 Thank you so much.
19:56 Love and love.
19:58 May I tie?
20:01 Kapuso, thank you so much for your support.
20:03 For your homes and hearts.
20:04 Stay kind.
20:05 Make your Nana and Tare proud.
20:07 And #SayThankYou.
20:09 Do one good thing a day and make this world a better place.
20:13 Goodbye for now.
20:14 I'm godless.
20:15 And thank you so much.
20:16 Thank you.
