00:05 How do you take good care of yourselves?
00:11 For me, quiet time is important.
00:14 I have my own space.
00:16 After a long day, I can journal.
00:20 That's one of my number one ways to take care of myself.
00:25 We play different characters as an artiste.
00:30 I'm still sure of who I am.
00:32 I like that.
00:33 How about you, Jason?
00:36 I want my children to be able to see their future.
00:42 I need to be strong and beautiful so that I can see their future.
00:49 Do you ever think about how sexy you should be?
00:53 Sometimes.
00:55 But sometimes, I don't have time.
00:58 But at a certain point, did you gain weight?
01:02 I still have some.
01:04 But I'm gaining weight.
01:06 I used to be 160 lbs.
01:08 Now, I'm 165 lbs.
01:09 The question is, how do you take care of yourself?
01:11 You spoke about your child, your wife, and then you go back to yourself.
01:15 I need to take care of myself because I'm taking care of someone.
01:19 I'm not saying that you have to be sexy to take care of yourself.
01:23 But you need to take care of your work.
01:26 You need vitamins, sleep.
01:28 But I like the idea of me time.
01:31 It's true.
01:32 That's where you start, right?
01:34 To show that you should start from the inside.
01:38 Sometimes, we have a lot of excuses.
01:41 "I don't have time."
01:43 "I don't have this."
01:45 I met a friend of mine.
01:46 I went to Baler.
01:47 And then Shirley.
01:49 Her name is Shirley.
01:50 So, I bumped into her.
01:51 I said, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time."
01:54 She said, "What are you doing here?"
01:55 We had a me time.
01:57 I paused for a few seconds.
01:59 And I realized, "Yes, it's important to have time for yourself."
02:04 "What about your career? How do you take care of it?"
02:08 I take care of each role.
02:15 I make sure that I do my best.
02:17 And I take care of it.
02:19 Especially, people who have dwarfism.
02:24 I claim that I'm their representation.
02:28 That's one of the things I take care of.
02:31 The roles, when it comes to accepting different kinds of characters.
02:37 You take care of them.
02:38 Yes.
02:39 It won't be bad or degrading for me and for them.
02:44 Them meaning?
02:45 People with dwarfism.
02:48 Okay.
02:49 But how do you call the community?
02:52 What is the correct...
02:53 Little people.
02:54 Little people is the correct way to call the community.
02:57 The little people.
02:58 That's nice.
02:59 Yes.
03:00 It's not just for me.
03:01 It's for my community.
03:02 How do you take care of your career, Jason?
03:04 My career...
03:06 I'm afraid that this will be the last program I'll do.
03:11 Maybe it reflects on my work.
03:13 Because I love this.
03:14 Being an artist, this is my passion ever since I started with you.
03:20 I really embrace my career.
03:23 Reputation, Jo.
03:25 How important is reputation to you?
03:29 It's very important.
03:30 Because we're in the public eye, our reputation is always important.
03:38 In a way, they can see that we're not perfect.
03:45 But as much as possible, they can see that we have a good influence.
03:49 Since we're in the media and we have a big influence,
03:52 we can take care of it and show that what we do is good.
03:59 That's a good topic.
04:00 When we have more time, we'll talk about it.
04:02 How about you, Jason?
04:03 Especially since you've been in politics.
04:06 Uncle, I've been in showbiz for 20 years.
04:09 Now, I've been in politics for 3 years.
04:11 But I said that reputation is only in the eyes of people.
04:15 Now, I'm thinking about what I am in the eyes of God.
04:19 Not in the eyes of people.
04:21 I don't have anything else I want to do but to serve the Lord.
