00:02 Hi everyone and welcome to a new episode of Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel
00:06 where each and every episode brings you a ton of surprises.
00:09 Not just one or two surprises but a whole load of surprises
00:14 because we never really know what to expect coming into the episode.
00:18 Especially for me because I don't know who our guest is.
00:21 Just like today, but I will receive a set of clues.
00:25 And for today, I shall be receiving a set of picture clues.
00:29 Wow! And I will describe to you each picture that I get.
00:32 First picture, Starstruck logo.
00:35 So that means either our guest has been a Starstruck alum for a long time
00:40 because it could be Old Starstruck, New Starstruck.
00:44 Oh! Dharna's enemy.
00:47 Wait. I just thought of it.
00:50 How many enemies does Dharna have?
00:52 Because I know one Dharna's enemy but how many enemies does she have?
00:57 Wait. Our third clue.
01:01 What photo is this?
01:02 Black Rider. Okay, I know. I get it.
01:05 Katrina Halili, are you our Surprise Guest for today?
01:09 Hi, Miss Pia.
01:10 Yes. Hi, Katrina.
01:12 Hi.
01:13 Good to see you.
01:14 Good to see you, too.
01:16 Are you in the set of Black Rider?
01:20 Yes, Miss Pia. I'm here in the standby area.
01:23 I'm in my tent. Black Rider.
01:25 Wow! Good thing you're not in a role. You'll be in a role later.
01:29 No. Dinner time.
01:31 Oh, dinner. Sorry. We'll eat at your dinner time.
01:35 No. It's okay.
01:36 First of all, congratulations. Black Rider is so beautiful.
01:40 Making waves. People are talking about Black Rider.
01:44 Were you surprised by the reactions of the people?
01:47 Actually, we're super happy with the acceptance of Black Rider.
01:52 It's continuous. It doesn't go down.
01:56 We can hold the audience. It goes up.
01:59 We're so happy with all the efforts we've put in.
02:04 We can see it now.
02:06 We're happy.
02:07 Do you still watch your episodes if you're in the taping now?
02:11 Yes, you can watch it online.
02:14 It's on Facebook and YouTube.
02:17 So you're watching it there.
02:19 Tell us about your role in Black Rider.
02:21 My role is Romana. I'm a skilled assassin.
02:26 I learned how to ride a big bike.
02:28 I learned martial arts.
02:31 Hand combat.
02:33 I trained Muay Thai.
02:36 Knife, gun.
02:38 Sometimes, I did Jiu Jitsu.
02:40 It's all mixed up.
02:41 It's confusing.
02:43 It's intense.
02:45 Actually, this is the most intense.
02:47 It's more intense than Black Bar.
02:49 Really?
02:51 Because these are your weapons.
02:53 Yes.
02:54 I told Black Darnal to join Black Rider.
02:58 Because Black Darnal holds a pole.
03:01 You don't learn stunts.
03:04 It's really hard.
03:05 You said you learned how to ride a big bike.
03:08 But before, you learned how to ride a small bike.
03:11 Or what do you call it?
03:12 Scooter.
03:13 You know how to ride a scooter.
03:14 I know how to ride a scooter.
03:16 I know how to balance.
03:19 But before, when I was young, I tried to ride a big bike.
03:23 When I was in elementary school, someone taught me.
03:27 It was in the cement.
03:29 It was dark.
03:30 I was scared.
03:31 When it was dark, I passed it on a rough road.
03:35 It was rocky.
03:39 I was scared.
03:40 I was scared.
03:43 I fell.
03:44 Oh no.
03:45 But luckily, it's like that.
03:47 You fall.
03:48 Yes.
03:49 When I was young, I had a trauma with my bike.
03:51 That's why I learned how to ride a big bike.
03:53 Because I didn't want to.
03:54 I also had a hard time balancing a clutch.
03:58 Before.
03:59 But now, when you learned how to ride a black rider, you enrolled in schools, right?
04:06 Or was it one-on-one?
04:07 Actually, they gave us training.
04:09 Okay.
04:10 I was with the Black Rider members.
04:12 We trained in Santa Rosa.
04:13 I tried it.
04:15 It was okay.
04:16 I did it.
04:17 I listened well.
04:18 When I was taught, I was still young.
04:21 I was still teaching when I was young.
04:23 We were enrolled.
04:25 Someone really taught us.
04:27 I listened.
04:28 I was able to ride a bike.
04:31 But they said that you have to stand with the basic.
04:34 I was like, "What?
04:35 I have to do double?
04:36 I can't do standing.
04:37 I don't think I can do that."
04:39 I was scared.
04:40 You stood while riding a bike.
04:42 Yes.
04:43 I was like, "I have to stand?"
04:44 I was like, "What?
04:45 Isn't that double?"
04:46 They said, "It's not included in the basic."
04:47 I was like, "Okay."
04:48 I rode for a few hours.
04:50 I was like, "It's taking a long time."
04:51 I was like, "Maybe they're waiting for this."
04:53 So, I stood.
04:54 I got a video.
04:55 I didn't stand that much.
04:58 In the video, I said, "Can I do one more?"
05:01 So, I turned around.
05:02 I stood.
05:03 Of course, it was my first time standing.
05:05 I got excited again.
05:06 And Big Bike Shop.
05:07 When I stopped, because I was tiptoeing at Big Bike Shop,
05:11 I suddenly fell.
05:12 Oh, no.
05:13 I'm glad I didn't get a fracture in my foot.
05:18 But I couldn't walk for about 3 weeks.
05:21 Wow.
05:22 Wasn't it heavy?
05:24 So, your legs got stuck.
05:25 My feet and legs got stuck.
05:28 My ankle.
05:29 My most injured ankle.
05:31 So, it was really hard for me to climb stairs.
05:34 I was just sleeping on the floor.
05:35 I couldn't climb stairs anymore.
05:37 Wow.
05:38 But now, are you very confident in riding a big bike?
05:41 Yes.
05:42 I'm okay now.
05:43 Maybe that means that you'll ride a big bike on weekends even if there's no taping.
05:48 No, not really.
05:50 I'm just learning.
05:51 So, of course, it's okay.
05:53 You said that you learned to ride a big bike together.
05:57 Who are your classmates from the cast who took lessons?
06:01 My Scorpion Boys are my classmates.
06:03 They are Dustin, Kim Perez, Joaquin Manansala, and Xavier, Wendel's son.
06:11 So, you're the only girl?
06:13 I'm the only girl.
06:14 I think I'm the only girl who rides a bike here.
06:17 Oh, my.
06:18 Maybe, Katrina, this is very different.
06:20 It's like a stark contrast to what you're used to during the pandemic.
06:23 Because I remember during the pandemic, you were interviewed in Palawan.
06:27 You stayed there with your son.
06:29 So, your life was laid back there.
06:32 But this is not your first show back.
06:35 No.
06:36 Actually, I did something.
06:38 But this is far from what I did.
06:40 I was stuck in the drama.
06:42 Before, it was more on action.
06:44 And then, it became contra vida for a long time.
06:47 And then, for the last four years, it was all about kindness.
06:50 Like Prima Donnas, I was the mommy of three kids.
06:55 Then, last year, I was the only mother.
06:58 Kate Valdez was the only one.
07:00 I was the only one who didn't do anything.
07:02 I just cried.
07:03 And then, this is my next.
07:04 It's so far.
07:05 It's so far.
07:06 I was like, "It's my first time in showbiz."
07:09 I was like, "What is this?"
07:11 It's like your first time in showbiz.
07:14 How many years have you been in the industry since Starstruck?
07:18 I'm just in my 20s.
07:19 Wow, happy anniversary!
07:21 We were 20s back then, Janeline.
07:24 October 23rd.
07:26 Oh, 27th.
07:27 You're kidding.
07:28 That's already 20 years.
07:29 We were almost the same age.
07:30 I remember when I started working in GMA,
07:33 Starstruck was really popular.
07:35 A year after, I joined GMA.
07:38 We all really fell in love with Starstruck.
07:41 So, we were almost the same age.
07:43 We were almost the same age.
07:45 Happy anniversary to the two of us.
07:47 But, Katrina, did you join Starstruck because you really wanted to be an artist?
07:55 Or did you just see that there were auditions and you just thought of joining?
08:00 Never.
08:01 I didn't dream of it at first.
08:03 It's not because I didn't type it.
08:06 I just felt like I couldn't do it.
08:08 I was shy, but I was the only one who knew.
08:11 You were shy?
08:13 Yes, I was the only one who knew.
08:15 But, I don't know.
08:17 People think I'm a star because I'm a maldita.
08:21 But, no.
08:22 I don't do the task because I'm shy.
08:25 I didn't audition, Miss Pia.
08:28 I got it from a roving.
08:29 I was just eating at a restaurant.
08:31 And then, they said I was in the top 100 of Starstruck.
08:34 There were cut cuts, right?
08:37 Like 100, then 60, 30, 14.
08:41 Every time there were cut cuts,
08:43 I was in a line.
08:45 When I got close, there were butterflies in my stomach.
08:49 I was nervous.
08:50 I was leaving and going home.
08:52 I was already in my fifth year.
08:54 I was leaving and going home because I was nervous.
08:56 I was going up the stage.
08:57 The stage fright.
08:59 It's good that they were okay with you leaving.
09:01 They called me and I said,
09:04 "I have school. I can't go back."
09:07 "It's okay. That's what I'm doing."
09:09 I had a lot of alibis.
09:10 Then, they said,
09:11 "Until what time is your school?"
09:13 "About 5."
09:14 I felt like it was over because we were in line at 8 AM.
09:17 Then, they called me at 1.
09:20 I thought it was 5 PM.
09:21 We were waiting for you until 6.
09:23 I was embarrassed because I said I was going home at 5.
09:29 That's what always happens.
09:31 It's like destiny.
09:32 I always avoid it whenever I'm interviewed.
09:36 Without you knowing it, you're in the finals.
09:40 I mean, you're already in the finals.
09:42 What's your official rank in Starstruck?
09:45 Eight.
09:46 Actually, my family doesn't know that I'm in Starstruck.
09:50 They only saw me on TV.
09:52 I was like, "I don't want anyone to see me. I'm embarrassed."
09:57 I'm not participating in Starstruck.
10:01 That's why they look down on me.
10:04 Who was your best friend?
10:09 Actually, my best close friend was...
10:12 First, Christine Reyes.
10:15 Then, Mark Geras.
10:17 Those two.
10:18 Okay. So, you're still friends?
10:22 We're still friends.
10:24 We're friends with Sheena, Nadine, Yasmin, and Jeneline.
10:30 We're close friends.
10:31 But, before Starstruck, I was close with two people.
10:35 They're bad boys and bad girls.
10:37 They don't listen to me.
10:40 I see. Mark Geras was a bad boy from the start.
10:45 He was also a bad boy of the dance floor.
10:47 I forgot about that.
10:49 I was just like them. That's why I became a bad girl.
10:53 It's not your fault. You had nothing to do with it.
10:57 So, Katrina, if you were to win the Ruby, you don't have a dream of becoming an artist?
11:05 I don't.
11:06 When I was young, I loved watching movies.
11:08 I copied lines from those movies.
11:10 I copied the lines from the movies before.
11:13 I used to watch Favorite Cancer by Donna Chris.
11:15 But, I never imagined that I would watch my own movie.
11:18 I was shy.
11:19 Every time I joined a school program, I didn't...
11:22 When we were in school, I didn't go to the stage.
11:25 So, I was scared.
11:27 So, they were surprised when they saw you on TV?
11:30 Actually, I was surprised too.
11:32 I had nothing to do.
11:34 And, no one knew that I always wanted to leave.
11:38 Meaning, you wanted to be removed from Starz?
11:41 Yes.
11:42 We had an acting workshop.
11:45 They told me that I passed five times because I had to act.
11:49 For example, "Miss Bia, it's your turn. Everyone is already acting, right?"
11:53 "This is how you act."
11:54 They didn't know what I was thinking.
11:56 "How did you do this? This is how you act. That's how you act."
11:59 I had a lot of questions.
12:01 "Why are they acting? This is how you act."
12:03 Then, I passed. I passed five times.
12:06 The teacher told me, "You know, Miss, no one is famous for being cute, okay?"
12:11 "Because if you're the teacher, you'll be criticized because you know that Starz..."
12:15 "Artista Search is the school that these kids entered."
12:18 "Then, you? You passed. You passed. What did you enter?"
12:21 She didn't know. I didn't know what I entered.
12:24 Ah, okay.
12:25 I didn't know. I had no idea.
12:28 Then, they auditioned.
12:31 When you audition, you'll be introduced.
12:33 "Hi, I'm this, that, and my talent is this. I can sing. I can dance."
12:37 They're doing all of that.
12:39 I didn't audition, so I had no idea that there's a talent portion like that.
12:45 Yes, right?
12:46 But now, your career continued since you did Starstruck.
12:51 Do you have any "what ifs" that you didn't become an artist and you'll do it?
12:57 I always say, "Palawan. Study. Work. Get older. Go home, Palawan."
13:03 Until now, I'm still like that.
13:05 I think now, I think that I'm not tired.
13:11 I'm just so annoying. It's good that Lorde didn't get tired of me.
13:15 Even if I don't want to, he pulls me here and there.
13:20 Even if I have shows, before, I'll say, "I'm going home, Palawan."
13:26 Because I'm shy.
13:28 I was directing back then, right?
13:31 Yes.
13:32 I was just saying that maybe I'm too stubborn.
13:36 I don't know. Maybe my life lesson is here in the industry.
13:40 I like what you said. "Study a little, then go home, Palawan."
13:45 No, it's just that simple.
13:47 Because I just want to be in the province.
13:50 Wait, are you really from Palawan? Is that where you were born?
13:53 No. But I'm happier when I'm there.
13:57 I get to meet people.
13:59 You can't be here. And there's traffic.
14:03 I mean, at least there, it's okay.
14:06 You chose to move to Palawan.
14:08 Not because you have family there?
14:12 Actually, I have family there.
14:14 Because I want to...
14:16 You know, your circle is just there.
14:18 Okay.
14:19 You're just close.
14:20 But now, I fulfilled it.
14:22 After the pandemic, my son and I moved there.
14:24 So, until now, do you still go home to Palawan?
14:27 Yes. I just go home here when there's a show.
14:29 Actually, I've been staying there for 2-8 months.
14:33 Wow.
14:34 So, when you're there, of course, your son is there.
14:38 When you go to Manila for taping, you also bring your son?
14:41 Yes, when he's not at school.
14:42 How old is your son?
14:44 11.
14:45 Your son is already big.
14:47 You're already 11 years old?
14:49 Yes, he's already 11 years old.
14:52 Wow, that's so cute.
14:54 Okay, so, he's happy in Palawan.
14:56 He enjoys living on the island.
14:59 Yes, he's super happy.
15:00 And I'm also super happy because my son's development is also big.
15:06 In Palawan and in school.
15:09 Tell us about living on the island.

15:46 Make Your Day!
15:49 How many years old is your son?
15:50 11.
15:51 Wow, your son is already big.
15:53 That's so cute.
15:54 Okay, so, he's happy in Palawan.
15:57 He enjoys living on the island.
15:59 Yes, he's super happy.
16:01 And I'm also super happy because my son's development is also big.
16:06 In Palawan and in school.
16:09 Tell us about living on the island.
16:13 It's fun because it's so simple.
16:16 You meet a lot of people there.
16:19 You can just walk around.
16:21 The fresh air is nice.
16:23 The sea is close by.
16:24 The mountains are close by.
16:26 You know, just enjoy it.
16:28 Just be happy.
16:29 Life is so slow.
16:30 Because for me, I think that in Manila,
16:33 it's all about work, work, work, work.
16:35 So, when I'm there, I'm happy.
16:39 Family, myself, Katie, and so on.
16:42 What if after school, your son invites you to go swimming?
16:47 You just walk around and you're already at the beach?
16:49 Actually, his school is a 5-minute walk to the beach.
16:52 That's so nice.
16:54 Yes, they're so lucky because they're already at the beach in just 5 minutes.
16:59 And then, they just go down to the school forest.
17:03 Wow, that's so fun.
17:06 Okay, and then, maybe he doesn't want to go to Manila anymore.
17:09 I think he doesn't want to go because his school is so nice.
17:13 His school is so different.
17:15 It's not a traditional school.
17:18 I don't know if it's the first in the Philippines, the EARTH school.
17:21 It's not like, you know, they're going to raise your grades.
17:25 It's like, it's the student's ability.
17:27 It's like the school adjusts for you.
17:30 So, it's very progressive.
17:33 Yeah, progressive, yes.
17:35 Oh, okay.
17:36 That's why he really likes it there.
17:38 Yes, he enjoys it there.
17:40 And he's happy there.
17:41 So, who are your cousins who are in Palawan?
17:44 My mother's side.
17:46 And my brother is there.
17:48 Are they really from there or did you go to Palawan together?
17:52 No, we're really from there.
17:54 El Nido.
17:55 Okay, okay.
17:56 That's so fun.
17:58 Now that you're back and forth between Palawan and Manila,
18:04 does that mean you're more selective in the projects you're accepting?
18:08 Not really.
18:10 Actually, I've never chosen a project.
18:13 But what they're giving me is really good.
18:17 It's just that it's more of a farewell after the pandemic.
18:21 After this show, can I stay in Palawan for 6 or 8 months?
18:27 Because actually, that's the only time I was given.
18:32 Because before, I was really going straight.
18:34 And I noticed that Katie is getting older.
18:37 And I was like, "What's this? I'll just work."
18:40 I also want to be with my daughter.
18:42 I also want to be close to my daughter.
18:44 So, I'm just limiting myself.
18:46 One show and then after that, I'll rest.
18:50 So, when you said you'll rest in Palawan,
18:54 you really didn't do anything?
18:56 Or you have business there?
18:58 Or you have other things you're busy with?
19:00 When I first came home from El Nido, I tried to open a restaurant.
19:03 Because the school is on the second floor.
19:06 My daughter's school.
19:07 And I was downstairs.
19:08 But what happened was, when it opened,
19:11 I had a shoot.
19:13 I was in Manila.
19:15 And it's really hard to do business.
19:19 Especially if you're not used to it.
19:21 And I'm not there.
19:23 So, I just thought, "I'll just close it."
19:26 Because it's really hard to handle people.
19:29 So, I salute those who have businesses there
19:31 that can handle people.
19:32 It's really hard.
19:34 For me, my business is more about long-term assets.
19:38 Okay.
19:39 More land.
19:41 I'm more into long-term assets
19:44 than opening businesses that I can't afford.
19:48 I might lose money or I might be poor.
19:50 I'm more into long-term assets.
19:53 I'm more into it.
19:56 My time.
19:57 So, when you're in Palawan,
19:59 let's say you have a break of 6 or 8 months,
20:01 what's your typical day like?
20:04 Are you a full-time mom when you rest between shows?
20:08 Yes, I have more time for myself.
20:12 Because before, I didn't have time.
20:13 Yes, I'm always with my daughter in the morning.
20:17 Before, I didn't really socialize.
20:22 But since my daughter is just starting to socialize,
20:26 and she wants to socialize,
20:28 I go to her classmates.
20:31 It's like a bonding.
20:33 So, you're friends with the parents of her classmates?
20:36 Yes, because their circle is small.
20:39 So, when there's a children's party,
20:41 you go there?
20:43 Yes, we go there.
20:45 We go there.
20:46 She usually wants to invite us to her house.
20:49 So, we usually invite her when we're at home in Palawan.
20:53 So, when you say you invite her,
20:54 how do you invite her?
20:56 Do you just walk her?
20:57 Is the school that close?
20:58 No, drive.
20:59 Like 15 minutes.
21:01 So, it's a bit far.
21:03 You thought it's far, 15 minutes.
21:05 But if you're here, it's far.
21:06 Yes, it's far.
21:07 In the province, it's far.
21:09 So, let's say your daughter is already at school,
21:11 what do you do?
21:12 You go home and just relax?
21:15 Yes, because it's still in the afternoon.
21:16 Sometimes, I cook.
21:17 And pets.
21:18 When I moved there, I have a lot of pets.
21:22 Birds, mostly parrots.
21:25 Wow!
21:26 So, your parrots,
21:27 do you teach them how to speak?
21:29 Actually, not.
21:31 They don't speak.
21:33 I do speak now,
21:34 but I only know "hi" and "hello".
21:36 Because they should be old enough to speak.
21:39 Since I'm here in Manila,
21:40 I miss my birds.
21:42 I can't get rid of them.
21:43 So, I bought them again.
21:44 Oh my!
21:45 So, you have a Manila-based
21:46 and a Palawan-based bird.
21:50 Yes.
21:51 So, when I'm here in Manila,
21:52 they already speak.
21:55 One is African Grey.
21:58 African Grey Parrot.
22:00 It's like Einstein Parrot.
22:02 It's the smartest parrot.
22:07 It speaks better.
22:08 The other one is Amazon.
22:11 Amazon Crown.
22:12 When they're at home,
22:13 they just fly around inside the house.
22:17 Yes, I just let them fly around in the living room.
22:19 They're my companions.
22:20 I also bought a dog.
22:23 Don't they fight?
22:24 The dog and the bird?
22:26 My dog was chasing the bird,
22:29 but they fly around.
22:30 Of course, they'll chase you.
22:32 No, because I'm used to having birds
22:36 and taking care of them.
22:38 Without them, it's boring.
22:40 Does Katie also want to take care of the pets?
22:44 She's afraid.
22:45 She only wants the small birds.
22:47 But my dog is okay
22:48 because she's a teacup.
22:49 Okay.
22:50 Kathleen, you mentioned earlier
22:52 that you want to spend time with your daughter
22:54 because she's growing up.
22:56 How would you describe your relationship?
22:59 Are you just siblings?
23:01 She's 11 years old.
23:03 She's almost a teenager.
23:05 Yes, but Miss Pia,
23:07 actually, Katie has been diagnosed with ASD
23:11 since 2 years old.
23:13 Okay, ASD.
23:14 That's why I'm there.
23:15 ASD is Autism Spectrum Disorder.
23:18 But she's mild.
23:20 That's why I spent a lot of time with her
23:23 because she needs guidance
23:26 and I can take care of her before she grows up.
23:30 I told her that the school is perfect for her.
23:33 It's non-traditional.
23:34 It's perfect for her because
23:36 if it's traditional,
23:38 if you're not with her,
23:39 you'll fall.
23:41 So, the school is okay for her.
23:44 So, that's where she developed
23:46 her communication skills in school.
23:48 Yes, that's why she wants to socialize.
23:53 But it's hard for her to talk.
23:56 She repeats the same words
23:58 because that's her symptoms.
24:00 They have an echo or something
24:03 that repeats the same words.
24:05 But she's really good at it.
24:07 When you introduce her to you,
24:09 she'll ask you, "When's your birthday?"
24:11 Even if she sees you next year,
24:13 she'll tell you,
24:14 "It's your birthday last month."
24:16 "I'm sorry I didn't greet you."
24:18 She's so cute.
24:19 She's so cute.
24:21 Actually, she's the one who greets
24:26 the whole school.
24:27 Even the security and the people
24:29 she greets because they're happy.
24:31 Because she memorizes their birthdays.
24:33 She's good at the calendar.
24:35 Yes, and the births.
24:36 Even the occasions,
24:37 like anniversaries,
24:39 when you tell her.
24:41 Actually, more on birthdays
24:43 because that's her hobby.
24:45 That's what she really wants to ask.
24:47 That's what she's interested in.
24:49 That year, I was surprised.
24:51 She knows the year.
24:53 F and day.
24:55 As in Friday or Wednesday?
24:59 Yes.
25:00 When you ask,
25:01 "What day is my birthday this year?"
25:03 She'll say, "Monday."
25:04 "Oh, that's right."
25:05 Then, "Spring."
25:06 Then, there's a time
25:07 when I asked her,
25:09 "What day is my birthday in 2020?"
25:13 It's just that I had a different date
25:15 or year.
25:16 She knows that.
25:17 Then, I had a different year,
25:18 2025 or 2024.
25:20 She knows that too.
25:21 "Kaity, how do you know that?
25:22 Can you teach mama?"
25:24 She said, "It just changes
25:25 on the day, mama."
25:27 I looked at it and it wasn't like that.
25:29 It's different.
25:30 Yes, it's like a complete completion.
25:31 Then, there are leap years, right?
25:33 I don't know how she knows.
25:35 She just said,
25:36 "It just changes on the day, mama."
25:38 That's what she told me.
25:39 She's so cute.
25:40 When she explained it,
25:41 it was very matter-of-fact.
25:42 It's like, "Why don't you know?"
25:44 Yes, it's just like that.
25:46 But you said, Katrina,
25:48 she was diagnosed when she was 2.
25:50 That means at the age of 2,
25:52 did you notice that
25:53 there's something different
25:55 in her communication skills?
25:57 She doesn't have eye contact.
25:59 Actually, the doctor
26:02 already checked her up
26:04 when she was 1 to 2 years old.
26:06 She doesn't have eye contact.
26:08 She should have it.
26:10 So, she was diagnosed.
26:12 I was treating her.
26:14 She already had OT.
26:18 Occupational therapy.
26:20 Yes.
26:21 Speech.
26:23 I was taking her to school
26:25 since she was 2 or more.
26:28 She was 3.
26:29 She went to school early after me.
26:31 She has a pool here.
26:34 She's a traditional.
26:36 She went to school 3 times.
26:38 It's a pity.
26:40 It's good that she's in the last.
26:42 I'm so happy that she went to school.
26:44 Because she's excelling.
26:48 She's learning what she understands.
26:52 Yes.
26:53 And of course,
26:55 I guess it's a big thing
26:57 that you're surrounded by nature.
26:59 The sea is there.
27:00 The mountains are there.
27:02 Yes.
27:03 People don't have the same skills.
27:06 Of course, she has different skills.
27:09 Not everyone can measure
27:11 how much you need to be able to do this or that.
27:13 She might be good at other things.
27:16 Yes.
27:17 Let's be fast.
27:18 We're talking so fast.
27:20 But let's go with this.
27:21 We know that you're in the middle of taping
27:24 and you're very busy.
27:25 Do you have anything to say to everyone
27:28 who supported you all these years
27:30 from Starstruck Days until now?
27:32 Thank you.
27:33 Thank you for being there until now.
27:35 And you're still trusting and supporting me.
27:38 I'm so happy that you're so strong.
27:42 That's what I said.
27:43 You're so strong.
27:44 She's so confident with me.
27:46 You're like a lord.
27:48 Thank you.
27:50 And I love you.
27:51 Very loyal fans.
27:53 Yes.
27:54 And if you have...
27:55 Of course, there are many kids
27:58 who want to be an artist one day like you.
28:00 What can you say to them?
28:02 What advice can you give them?
28:04 Am I the one who should say this?
28:06 I'll just say it.
28:09 If you have something you want to happen in your life,
28:14 just fix it and pray for it.
28:16 We don't know what can happen to us.
28:20 I don't know where I'll end up.
28:24 If we have something we want to happen in our life,
28:27 just pray.
28:28 Let's wait for our time.
28:31 Let's not rush.
28:32 Because the time will come for us.
28:34 Very well said.
28:35 It's applicable to everyone.
28:37 Whatever you want to do in life.
28:39 I don't know what I want.
28:41 I just got here.
28:42 I just found out.
28:43 Oh, it's you.
28:44 Whatever the Lord wants for you,
28:46 you'll go there.
28:47 Whatever He wants for you,
28:49 you'll go there.
28:50 Yes.
28:51 Katrina, thank you so much.
28:54 Thank you for being with us.
28:56 We know that you're very busy.
28:59 Lastly, do you want to invite them to watch Black Rider?
29:03 Yes, I hope you'll watch Black Rider.
29:06 Monday to Friday, 8pm after 24 hours.
29:09 If they want to find you on social media?
29:12 Instagram is @katrina_halihi
29:15 That's it.
29:17 It's like you're focused on that.
29:22 Yes.
29:25 Katrina, thanks again.
29:27 Thank you very much for being game in our conversation.
29:30 I hope to see you soon in real life.
29:33 Next to me.
29:35 If I see a girl on a big bike,
29:38 I'll think it's you.
29:40 Thank you.
29:41 Nice talking to you.
29:42 Thanks, Katrina.
