00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 (speaking in foreign language)
00:10 And welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Avila.
00:16 (audience cheering)
00:18 (speaking in foreign language)
00:22 Welcome to the program.
00:28 (audience cheering)
00:31 (speaking in foreign language)
00:35 But I'm simply going to say,
00:40 (speaking in foreign language)
00:41 please welcome my friend, Sharon Cuneta.
00:43 (audience cheering)
00:46 Thank you.
00:52 - Thank you.
00:53 - Long, long, long, long time.
00:58 - I know, I know.
00:59 - I'm so happy to be with you again.
01:00 - I am so happy to see you.
01:01 Please, please, please, please.
01:03 (speaking in foreign language)
01:07 And Merry Christmas.
01:10 - Merry Christmas.
01:11 (speaking in foreign language)
01:15 That's a very odd thing.
01:19 - And that brings me to my first question.
01:21 Why are you working so hard?
01:23 - Because I love my job.
01:25 And instead of climbing up the walls of my room,
01:30 I'd rather be working.
01:32 But of course, I also need, I wish for rest.
01:36 - And let's talk about the job that you love the most.
01:39 Singing, I mean, a little reminiscing.
01:43 - It's like choosing among your kids.
01:46 I started out as a singer, so of course I love singing.
01:51 But sometimes, like right now, I'm really in acting mode.
01:55 I wish I could do just one movie after another.
01:58 I have seasons like that, I call them my seasons.
02:01 There are seasons that all I wanna do is sing.
02:03 Oh my God, I must have been 13.
02:06 12 or 13.
02:08 (gasps)
02:08 (laughs)
02:10 20-something, yeah.
02:11 (laughs)
02:12 Oh, 19, 'cause Casey was born.
02:15 A few months older.
02:17 Oh my goodness, about 21, 22.
02:20 I see, I have a, I'm weird.
02:23 Newly married, pregnant with Casey.
02:25 (laughs)
02:26 - So that's your life, I mean, singing, acting.
02:30 - Yeah, singing, acting, doing concerts.
02:34 About to record again soon.
02:36 I miss having my own show, my musical talk show.
02:42 I miss having that.
02:43 - The only appearance that Bong and I made together.
02:46 - Together, oh yes, that's, oh my God.
02:49 - The only one.
02:50 - I have that distinction, such an honor.
02:52 - Yeah, that's true.
02:53 Because when we go back to it,
02:54 I said, Bong would always raise it.
02:56 (speaks in foreign language)
02:59 (speaks in foreign language)
03:01 That was the only time we sat together and talked about it.
03:04 - Thank you for that.
03:05 - Of course.
03:06 - Oh my goodness, that will be a part of my history.
03:09 - Will you ever retire?
03:12 - Atabi said to me, don't.
03:14 - She said that?
03:15 - Don't retire.
03:17 I tend to listen to Atabi.
03:18 We text each other.
03:20 - Me too, I listen to her.
03:21 - I listen to her.
03:23 But when I say retire, it may mean something else
03:27 as opposed to what people would mean
03:30 when you say, (speaks in foreign language)
03:33 it might be, it's more correct to say
03:37 going to semi-retirement.
03:39 Slow down a bit.
03:40 - I think the slowing down.
03:42 - Slowing down, I think.
03:44 - Christmas, I know you're very busy.
03:46 (speaks in foreign language)
03:48 But you know, because of the schedule.
03:49 But is there one particular Christmas that stands out?
03:52 A Christmas that's most memorable.
03:55 - Not just one, many.
03:58 Well, this will stand out for sure,
03:59 but not in a very happy way.
04:02 Because for the first time in all her life,
04:05 Christina will be spending Christmas with her papa.
04:09 And that's not a bad thing.
04:10 It's just that when you know you have four children
04:14 and only three will be present.
04:16 - That's coming from a mother's heart.
04:19 - Oh yeah, but that's okay.
04:20 Because when she asked me, I was about to text her actually,
04:23 no, please don't stress over Christmas.
04:25 I know, (speaks in foreign language)
04:27 And then when she said, "Mama, is it okay to spend?"
04:29 You know what, I was just gonna text you that
04:31 because they've never had a Christmas together.
04:34 So he's making up for lost time with her
04:37 and it's a good thing.
04:38 So they're really close now.
04:41 And all her life, I wanted them to be close.
04:45 So now, she spent most of her life with me
04:50 until she got a solo.
04:51 Of course, if it's forever, it's up to you, right?
04:54 But at 18, she wanted to,
04:56 when she decided that when I graduate,
05:01 she brought me to her condo,
05:02 "Mama, which will I buy, this or this?
05:05 Or get this, this or that?"
05:06 So she decided that.
05:10 But of course, wherever I get to live,
05:13 there's always a room for her.
05:15 - That has been very clear for the longest time.
05:18 Let me bring this discussion to,
05:21 from Christina, let's bring this discussion to the movie,
05:23 "Family of Two."
05:25 Because it's a story about a mother and,
05:27 I mean, you play Maricar to Mateo's,
05:30 - Yes.
05:31 - To audience of Mateo.
05:33 (speaks in foreign language)
05:36 (speaks in foreign language)
05:40 (speaks in foreign language)
06:04 (speaks in foreign language)
06:08 I call it really simple and beautiful and authentic.
06:11 I think it's a kind of movie
06:13 we need to see during these times.
06:17 Not just because it's Christmas,
06:20 but because I think we need something as simple
06:23 and heartwarming as this.
06:25 Even if I wasn't starring in it,
06:26 (speaks in foreign language)
06:29 And I dare say it's really one of the best I've done.
06:33 - Wow.
06:34 - I've done 66, 67 movies.
06:36 So I love working on this movie
06:40 and I love working with Alden,
06:42 with everybody from direct to everybody.
06:45 - And for you to say that this is one of your best
06:46 means a lot, your fans.
06:48 - Yes, it is.
06:48 (speaks in foreign language)
06:50 For me, it was so easy.
06:52 And I'm not saying it's one of the best,
06:55 'cause I, no, no, of course there was effort
06:57 from all of our parts,
06:58 but it was easy for me to get into the role.
07:01 (speaks in foreign language)
07:03 Four times over.
07:04 And because now I have a son who's 14,
07:08 (speaks in foreign language)
07:08 dynamic between mom and son and mom and daughter.
07:11 So I love doing this movie.
07:14 - How much of Madekar is Sharon and vice versa?
07:17 - A lot, a lot.
07:21 Yeah.
07:22 (speaks in foreign language)
07:31 Of course, she had to work.
07:32 (speaks in foreign language)
07:35 Oh my God, my twin.
07:36 (speaks in foreign language)
07:39 And so it was easy for me
07:45 because also I think in relationship
07:47 that developed between me and Alden,
07:49 he's really like my son in real life.
07:52 It's so weird.
07:53 (speaks in foreign language)
07:56 No, I can't say that about all my co-stars.
07:59 (speaks in foreign language)
08:00 Oh my God, the way we think,
08:02 the way, even what we're busy with,
08:05 even what we like to do outside of show business,
08:07 we both like real estate.
08:09 We both like watching, sorry,
08:11 blackhead popping, simple things.
08:14 But really, he was interviewed by my YouTube team.
08:17 And right after, Chrissy came up to me and said,
08:20 "Nay, it's so weird.
08:22 You're so alike."
08:23 I knew, I knew, I knew it.
08:24 (speaks in foreign language)
08:25 The way we think, the way we,
08:27 even my kids were saying,
08:29 "Mama, (speaks in foreign language)
08:30 Alden's more like your son than any of us."
08:32 - Calls you mama?
08:33 - Oh, yeah, he calls me mama too.
08:35 (speaks in foreign language)
08:36 Because they met him and I would make (speaks in foreign language)
08:38 And they told me, (speaks in foreign language)
08:40 were saying, "He's more like your,
08:42 (speaks in foreign language)
08:43 In other words, (speaks in foreign language)
08:45 compared to them.
08:46 (laughs)
08:47 (speaks in foreign language)
08:48 - And of course, I'm interested and I'm excited as a fan
08:52 to watch your rapport, the dynamics between you
08:55 and Richard and Alden.
08:56 - Yes.
08:57 (speaks in foreign language)
09:01 It was so easy for me to get into character
09:04 because of Alden's role and Alden being Alden.
09:08 Alden the person that I got to know.
09:11 - How is he as an actor?
09:12 - Oh, he's good.
09:13 He's good, very good actor.
09:15 I've seen his movie with Catherine
09:17 and he's Alden Richards,
09:19 but here, he was so natural and effortless.
09:23 And for both of us,
09:25 (speaks in foreign language)
09:29 (speaks in foreign language)
09:34 (laughs)
09:35 (speaks in foreign language)
09:38 - But can I say this?
09:39 I have not said this publicly.
09:41 A couple of weeks ago, out of nowhere,
09:44 I got a text message from Kaki.
09:46 - She's still in New York.
09:50 - Kaki, if you're watching this,
09:51 (speaks in foreign language)
09:55 (speaks in foreign language)
09:56 Out of nowhere, Tito, I just remembered you.
09:58 - Aw.
09:59 - And remembered an instance where we were talking
10:01 and then she was there.
10:03 Out of nowhere.
10:04 - Kaki's very much like me.
10:07 - Oh, out of nowhere.
10:08 - She may look more like her daddy,
10:10 but she's more like me.
10:11 Her ugal is like me.
10:13 - Oh, (speaks in foreign language)
10:15 - (speaks in foreign language)
10:15 - You know, a text message that changed my whole day.
10:19 - Oh.
10:20 - Oh, (speaks in foreign language)
10:21 - I'll let her know that.
10:22 - Yeah, I answered her and it took a while for me.
10:25 (speaks in foreign language)
10:27 I was very careful with the words
10:29 because it meant so much to me.
10:32 - That means so much to you.
10:33 - Kaki, I wanna say this publicly.
10:34 (speaks in foreign language)
10:35 For just even remembering.
10:38 - That's my girl.
10:39 - Deva.
10:39 - Yeah.
10:40 - Oh.
10:41 - You know, we talk about Casey, Miguel, my kuya.
10:44 Miel.
10:45 - My Miel.
10:46 - Because, yes.
10:47 - My twin.
10:48 - Yeah, how is she?
10:51 - She's okay, she's happy.
10:52 She does TikTok videos, that's what she enjoys.
10:54 She took a gap year after graduating from high school.
10:58 So, and then she'll be off to New York also,
11:00 meet up with her ate.
11:02 But Kaki's coming home for Christmas.
11:05 And then I think by January, she'll go with her ate.
11:08 Just to get a feel of the,
11:10 she's taking over the apartment.
11:11 - Yeah, so she'll know.
11:12 - Yeah.
11:13 - Yeah, right.
11:13 - And we're going to, kind of,
11:16 Kaki's school is the mother of the school she's going to.
11:18 And she got a merit scholarship without us asking for it.
11:21 - Yeah.
11:22 - Okay.
11:23 Now, I wanted to go into your process as an actor.
11:25 Do you go to the script?
11:26 Do you go to the character?
11:27 Do you write a backstory?
11:29 (speaking in foreign language)
11:33 - Oh, I've done so many movies.
11:44 It's automatic.
11:44 (speaking in foreign language)
11:47 - Because you have to go back to that experience over.
11:50 (speaking in foreign language)
11:54 - But I have so much.
12:02 Like, even, like when I work, let's say,
12:04 with Inang Olive or direct Kathy,
12:06 they know already,
12:07 'cause Inang Olive was AP of my show before,
12:10 before she became a director.
12:12 (speaking in foreign language)
12:16 (speaking in foreign language)
12:19 Especially if it's a song that I associate
12:23 with a certain period in my life.
12:25 (speaking in foreign language)
12:29 It's always, it has to be authentic.
12:34 And you know what, it's on a,
12:35 how big is the screen?
12:36 About 30 feet, long or high?
12:39 I don't know.
12:40 But every movement you make on the movie screen,
12:44 (speaking in foreign language)
12:48 (audience cheering)
12:55 - Okay.
12:55 (audience applauding)

16:47 Hindi pwede mapag-usapan.
16:49 But talk about the movie first.

17:00 Eh gusto ko iayain mag-zumba.
17:02 Parang manlumabas sa bahay.
17:04 Kasi lagi lang siya nandun very dedicated to Mateo.
17:06 So yun lang lagi, "Ano mag-zumba ka na?"
17:08 Hindi kasi nag-a-ga-ga-n.
17:10 "Halika na, so kawawan namin mga halaman mo eh."
17:12 Pero na-cute, na-cute na-cute niya dito
17:15 when we saw the whole movie.
17:17 Yung nasa studio lang kami.
17:19 So we had a screening.
17:20 Just ko ilan lang kami doon.
17:22 Hindi na kasama sila Jackie, sila Miles.
17:24 Pero, ay ko, ang cute-cute-cute dumabas nung role ni Jackie.
17:27 Nakakatuwa.
17:28 Funny lang. Funny and then na lang.
17:30 Basta, masaya. Masaya kasi yung movie.
17:32 Pero, zumba ka ng zumba dito.
17:34 Mayayay ako naman siya minsan. Finally.
17:36 In fairness.
17:38 Pero wala na talaga.
17:39 I mean, okay, mag-zumba lang. Zumba dito.
17:41 Cute ni Jackie.
17:43 Congratulations.
17:44 Again, huwag nating kakaligtaan ito.
17:46 Family of two.
17:48 So, how was it?
17:49 You've been friends, you know, we found this.
17:51 For so long.
17:52 Oh my God.
17:53 Oh my God.
17:54 I signed it for Bam.
17:56 Oh, for Bam.
17:57 And then, nandito yung iyong friends.
18:01 Oh my God.
18:02 Yes.
18:03 Si Jackie Lublanco at saka si Chiki Holman.
18:06 That's not my handwriting.
18:08 But, I mean, dalikod ah.
18:10 Someone did it sa art department.
18:12 Slumbo.
18:14 Slumbo. Pero yun yung mga sagot ko.
18:16 Okay.
18:17 That's 1982.
18:19 Yes, I was 16.
18:20 81.
18:22 But that picture was when I was mga 14.
18:25 High school.
18:26 Kwe, tapos lang ang concert mo ito sa Araneta.
18:28 High school was before Dear Heart.
18:29 Yeah, but have you done your concert?
18:31 No pa.
18:32 Not yet.
18:33 18 na ako nun eh.
18:34 No, when you did your concert.
18:35 Oh, right after that.
18:36 Sharon with the Boys.
18:37 Sharon Tolo with the Boys.
18:38 I hosted the press conference.
18:39 Right.
18:40 And after the two-night concert, I remember that in Intercon.
18:42 I remember that.
18:43 After the two-night concert, just a few days after, Gabby and I got married secretly.
18:48 Yeah.
18:49 In a house in Capitol.
18:50 Okay.
18:51 Ito yun.
18:52 Can you imagine?
18:53 I hosted that press conference.
18:54 And she remembers.

18:58 She has a very good memory.
18:59 Intercon.
19:00 Yeah, she was supportive.
19:01 So supportive.

19:07 Kaya mo yan.
19:08 She even came to the press con.

19:43 But that doesn't mean she wasn't a good woman.
19:45 How much can you tell us about this hidwaan?
19:48 Let's just say when I am hurt, the kids get hurt.
19:52 There's some sibling squabble.
19:55 Sana naman bago ko mamatay, okay na silang lahat.
