00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 (crowd cheering)
00:14 (speaking in foreign language)
00:18 - And welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abundo.
00:24 (crowd cheering)
00:26 (speaking in foreign language)
00:28 (speaking in foreign language)
00:32 Welcome to the program.
00:34 Our very special guest today,
00:35 Naytay Capuso, please welcome
00:38 one of the most brilliant actors of his generation.
00:40 And I say that from the bottom of my heart,
00:42 please welcome Diego Loizaga.
00:44 (crowd cheering)
00:48 Thank you.
00:48 - Thank you for that introduction.
00:51 - You know why I was a bit bothered?
00:53 Because we were practicing Diego, J-
00:54 - Diego.
00:55 (laughing)
00:57 - Of course I know you're a Loizaga.
00:58 (speaking in foreign language)
01:01 Is that Diego, J-
01:02 - It depends where we are.
01:05 Back in Australia, Diego.
01:07 Diego with the accent, Diego.
01:09 But it's Diego, J-
01:10 It's all good, it doesn't matter.
01:11 - Talking about Australia.
01:13 - Yes.
01:14 - You know, one time I caught you
01:16 speaking in Australian accent.
01:19 Can you give us an example of how you really speak
01:23 with an Australian accent?
01:25 - Okay, let's try.
01:26 (speaking in foreign language)
01:27 - I hope he picks up.
01:28 (speaking in foreign language)
01:32 - Hey bro.
01:41 - Hey man, how are you?
01:42 - Yeah, pretty good, mate, you?
01:43 - Yeah, good man, how are you?
01:45 - Not much, bro.
01:46 I'm here with Tito Boy Abunda.
01:47 I hope you're not busy.
01:48 I hope we didn't disturb you, bro.
01:50 - Nah, man, I'm just driving home.
01:52 - That's why it's so noisy.
01:54 Yeah, I get it.
01:55 All right, fair enough, bro.
01:56 You drive safe.
01:57 I don't want to disturb you.
01:58 It's all good, mate, it's all good.
01:59 You take care.
02:00 - Yeah, man, you good.
02:01 - All right, brother, you take care, bro.
02:03 All right, see you, man.
02:04 See you, thanks for answering the phone, bro.
02:06 All right, bye, bro, bye.
02:08 (speaking in foreign language)
02:09 So a little bit, a little bit.
02:11 Wow, I'm sweating.
02:12 (laughing)
02:14 (speaking in foreign language)
02:18 No, actually.
02:22 (speaking in foreign language)
02:26 (speaking in foreign language)
02:29 Just the other day, it was a three-page script.
02:34 - Okay.
02:34 (speaking in foreign language)
02:38 Last minute, (speaking in foreign language)
02:47 So I said, okay, (speaking in foreign language)
02:54 Thank God.
02:55 (laughing)
02:56 I thank you guys.
02:57 I really thought (speaking in foreign language)
03:02 Your parents are brilliant actors.
03:07 (speaking in foreign language)
03:11 - Okay.
03:17 (speaking in foreign language)
03:20 So the one thing she teaches me is modulation of the voice,
03:24 which is something that I sometimes forget.
03:27 (speaking in foreign language)
03:30 Now, while that means that sometimes I'm too high-pitched,
03:32 too low-pitched, so she taught me that
03:35 with the serious scenes, it should be deep,
03:38 it should be serious, it should be--
03:40 - So basically, the use of the voice--
03:42 - The use of the voice, because now she's a singer.
03:44 - Right.
03:45 (speaking in foreign language)
03:49 Oh, it was last year, it was an action film,
03:52 and I made him watch it.
03:53 Sorry, Director John Red, (speaking in foreign language)
03:57 He said, "I like your acting."
03:59 (speaking in foreign language)
04:01 He wants me to be deeper.
04:03 (speaking in foreign language)
04:07 - So what did you say?
04:11 (speaking in foreign language)
04:20 - Before he comes on set, days, days, days before,
04:23 (speaking in foreign language)
04:24 beginning to end, (speaking in foreign language)
04:27 I have the memory of a goldfish,
04:29 so if I memorize the whole script,
04:31 (speaking in foreign language)
04:32 it jumbles up, I kinda have dyslexia,
04:35 so when I read something, it gets all mixed up.
04:38 (speaking in foreign language)
04:40 That's it.
04:41 (speaking in foreign language)
04:41 On the spot, on the spot.
04:43 (speaking in foreign language)
04:45 - That's a talent, and that's not easy.
04:47 - Thank you.
04:47 - Okay, I mean, you're talking about your dad.
04:49 (speaking in foreign language)
04:52 - Still trying.
04:53 - Who is one of the greatest actors in Philippine cinema.
04:56 - That's true.
04:57 (speaking in foreign language)
05:01 You're taking a role, expectations are high,
05:05 how do you survive that?
05:06 - I think, Tito Boy, for the earlier part of my career,
05:12 I was really trying to fill those shoes.
05:17 - You were trying.
05:18 - I was trying to be more like him,
05:21 and I think recently, (speaking in foreign language)
05:26 I'm just trying to be Diego.
05:27 I know they're very large shoes to fill,
05:31 (speaking in foreign language)
05:35 - Makes sense.
05:37 (speaking in foreign language)
05:39 - Of course, I wanna achieve (speaking in foreign language)
05:45 but one day at a time.
05:48 - Does he tell you, (speaking in foreign language)
05:50 good job, or (speaking in foreign language)
05:53 I like the way you attack that.
05:55 (speaking in foreign language)
05:59 So I treated it as if I was just talking to my dad,
06:11 and that was the first time (speaking in foreign language)
06:16 I like that.
06:17 - Oh.
06:18 - I like that.
06:19 (speaking in foreign language)
06:23 It's,
06:29 (speaking in foreign language)
06:35 Everyone knows my story, for the people who don't,
06:38 I didn't grow up with my dad,
06:40 not blaming him, not throwing shade on my father,
06:44 it's just that those are my, those are the circumstances,
06:48 and to get affirmation from your dad,
06:51 (speaking in foreign language)
06:52 - And to be validated.
06:54 - Validated.
06:54 - By your own father.
06:55 - That's it.
06:56 - Oh, I can imagine, it is, it was emotional.
07:00 - Yes, it was, definitely, and now,
07:02 the fact that (speaking in foreign language)
07:05 about the smallest things,
07:06 he's so in love with my baby girl, my baby,
07:10 and (speaking in foreign language)
07:11 he told me off the other day.
07:13 I'm (speaking in foreign language)
07:16 and I thought I was just fatigued, I thought I was just tired,
07:19 so (speaking in foreign language)
07:21 thinking (speaking in foreign language)
07:26 So I told my shooting, I don't feel well,
07:30 (speaking in foreign language)
07:31 see baby first (speaking in foreign language)
07:36 she just keeps on crying,
07:37 (speaking in foreign language)
07:38 and now my baby mama's taking care of her
07:40 (speaking in foreign language)
07:42 I feel bad.
07:44 So my dad messaged me,
07:45 (speaking in foreign language)
07:49 - Doting, doting,
08:04 a tatay, grandfather.
08:06 - Yeah, yeah.
08:07 - So what are you turning to be as a father?
08:09 - I just wanna be a very present father,
08:13 as much as possible, everywhere I go,
08:16 (speaking in foreign language)
08:19 I think (speaking in foreign language)
08:24 it's not all about me anymore.
08:28 After 12 years of being in showbiz,
08:31 I finally was able to put it down for a house (speaking in foreign language)
08:34 and I'm fixing (speaking in foreign language)
08:39 and then (speaking in foreign language)
08:44 so everything is man cavey,
08:46 (speaking in foreign language)
08:48 is all pink, all nice and like colorful.
08:51 So I don't know, it feels different,
08:54 but at the same time, it's the same.
08:56 I can't say (speaking in foreign language)
08:59 every day is still the same,
09:01 I still go to work, I still do what I do,
09:03 but at the same time, in the back of my head,
09:05 (speaking in foreign language)
09:06 it's not just about Diego anymore,
09:07 it's Diego and Haley,
09:08 and (speaking in foreign language)
09:09 my baby mama also, (speaking in foreign language)
09:10 (speaking in foreign language)
09:11 - You're evolving.
09:12 (speaking in foreign language)
09:16 What's touching is when you say,
09:19 it's not anymore just Diego,
09:21 it's Diego and--
09:22 - And Haley now.
09:23 - (speaking in foreign language)
09:27 (speaking in foreign language)
09:28 - You know her birthday's in May.
09:30 (speaking in foreign language)
09:32 (speaking in foreign language)
09:35 - Somehow, it shapes many decisions that you make.
09:38 - It does.
09:39 - And I'm really glad, Diego,
09:40 because your journey has not been easy,
09:42 you've been very public.
09:43 - Oh, yes.
09:44 - And look at where you are today.
09:45 (speaking in foreign language)
09:49 You know, the rehab, I'll be very honest,
09:51 I'll put it straight.
09:52 - Go ahead.
09:53 (speaking in foreign language)
10:01 - Okay, I will not be a hypocrite in front of you
10:04 and in front of our audience.
10:06 I did go to rehab, definitely.
10:08 I wanna be an advocate for mental health.
10:10 I'm so happy I have this platform now.
10:14 (speaking in foreign language)
10:18 I was very, very depressed.
10:25 I was on the brink of suicidal
10:28 and I will not deny that substances had a part to play
10:32 with my mental state.
10:35 They don't help.
10:37 (speaking in foreign language)
10:39 If you're already a person with a problem,
10:41 (speaking in foreign language)
10:43 and there's other substances,
10:45 other factors that are pulling you down,
10:49 it's a hard pit to crawl out of.
10:52 And so, (speaking in foreign language)
10:53 I got out, for a time, I could counsel people,
10:57 but in saying this, (speaking in foreign language)
11:00 I'm sober.
11:01 Because once you have a sip of alcohol,
11:03 it's counted as relapse.
11:05 So relapse (speaking in foreign language)
11:06 But every single day, I still talk to my counselors.
11:09 Every single day, I'm still in touch with my (speaking in foreign language)
11:12 You call them (speaking in foreign language)
11:14 from my rehabilitation.
11:15 And they still monitor me, all the time.
11:17 I'm always still very open with them.
11:19 So the reason why I'm bringing this up is because
11:22 I wish I, in the future, near future,
11:25 I can start my own YouTube channel
11:27 and explain into detail (speaking in foreign language)
11:31 what happened inside and how my life changed after.
11:35 But how it affected also with being an actor,
11:39 like I said, (speaking in foreign language)
11:44 It was so difficult inside.
11:48 - You go back to that.
11:49 - I go back to that pain.
11:51 - Yeah. - I go back to that pain.
11:52 - For you to feel the pain of whatever scene you're doing.
11:54 - Whatever it is.
11:56 (speaking in foreign language)
11:58 You know, it was eight months until I saw the moon.
12:01 It was eight months until I got to see the sun.
12:04 (speaking in foreign language)
12:06 It's, I'm not shunning my rehabilitation.
12:10 I owe them my life.
12:11 But you're kinda trapped inside.
12:15 (speaking in foreign language)
12:16 Until you get to meet your family again.
12:18 And that was the saddest, that was the saddest thing.
12:22 They'll make you realize,
12:23 (speaking in foreign language)
12:24 there's a purpose.
12:25 They take everything away from you.
12:27 So you appreciate all the things that are given back
12:31 when you get to go out.
12:32 And that broke me, you know?
12:34 And when I explained it to my dad,
12:36 (speaking in foreign language)
12:38 I learned from each and every single thing
12:41 that we had to do inside.
12:42 And it changed me as a person, it changed me as an actor.
12:46 Yes, it made me deeper as a person, probably, yeah.
12:50 But again, I'm not saying I'm perfect.
12:53 - Yeah, one day, what?
12:56 15, 20 years?
12:58 - From now? - From now?
12:59 Haley will watch this conversation.
13:02 - Maybe.
13:03 - And will know the story.
13:06 How would you explain that to your daughter?
13:08 - I guess I'd say,
13:10 (speaking in foreign language)
13:11 in life, people make mistakes.
13:13 And I think the man, if he don't make mistakes,
13:16 he don't really grow, you know?
13:18 (speaking in foreign language)
13:22 (speaking in foreign language)
13:24 And everything I did, whether good or bad,
13:28 it was publicized, 'cause your life is literally
13:31 an open book for the public to see.
13:33 I just say to her,
13:38 I hope you don't judge me for my past.
13:41 I hope you don't look at me differently
13:42 for the mistakes I've done
13:44 and maybe might still do in the future.
13:47 But just know that I love you.
13:49 And I promise that I'll give you a life
13:51 that I never had.
13:52 I know my parents did the most that they could for me.
13:55 (speaking in foreign language)
13:57 I hope for myself, I will really do everything in my power.
14:01 (speaking in foreign language)
14:05 I will never, ever be an absent or not a loving father.
14:12 (speaking in foreign language)
14:16 I will give that to the Lord.
14:17 I'll say it in front of you and in front of all the people.
14:19 (speaking in foreign language)
14:21 I promise that.
14:23 - It's a wonderful answer.
14:24 - Thank you.
14:25 - We can continue to talk about your movie.
14:27 - Yeah.
14:27 - And we'll do fast talk.
14:28 We have to talk about this.
14:30 (speaking in foreign language)
14:33 (upbeat music)
14:38 Back here on the show,
14:40 (speaking in foreign language)
14:48 - Okay, so Jerome Ponce plays a role of somebody.
14:51 So after we were talking about mental health,
14:53 he has a social anxiety disorder.
14:57 So he works for this place called Forever,
15:00 which is like,
15:00 (speaking in foreign language)
15:04 which is me in the film.
15:06 (speaking in foreign language)
15:10 So I'm only alive in this virtual world,
15:12 which Jasmine now goes there to visit me.
15:16 She talks to me.
15:17 (speaking in foreign language)
15:21 Perfect.
15:29 - That's why I wanted to ask,
15:30 (speaking in foreign language)
15:32 Do you believe in forever?
15:34 Not the movie, but forever the word.
15:36 (speaking in foreign language)
15:37 - Oh yeah, there's unconditional love.
15:40 The love that my mother has for me,
15:41 the love that I have for my daughter.
15:43 In some cases,
15:43 the love that a partner will have with another partner,
15:46 that's also forever.
15:47 - That's romantic love.
15:48 So you believe in forever in that sense.
15:50 - I think, you know what,
15:51 even with our exes,
15:53 there's always gonna be a part of them in your life
15:56 that you'll never,
15:57 (speaking in foreign language)
15:59 - That lives forever.
16:00 - That lives forever.
16:01 (speaking in foreign language)
16:05 - Adversity makes a man, isn't that?
16:10 I'm pretty sure that's what my dad said to me.
16:12 It's all the hard things that you go through in your life
16:16 and how you get back up that makes you who you are.
16:20 And all the stuff that's said about you
16:22 and you choose to remain silent.
16:24 (speaking in foreign language)
16:25 - That's it.
16:26 - Let's do fast talk.
16:27 (laughing)
16:28 Diego, Philippines or Australia?
16:30 - Philippines.
16:31 - Basketball or scuba diving?
16:33 - Ooh, basketball.
16:34 - Action or romance?
16:35 - Action.
16:36 - Morning person, evening person?
16:38 - Evening until morning.
16:39 (laughing)
16:40 - Text or call?
16:41 - Call.
16:42 - Kiss or hug?
16:43 - Kiss.
16:44 - Love language?
16:45 (speaking in foreign language)
16:46 - Favorite pastime?
16:47 - Basketball.
16:48 (speaking in foreign language)
16:49 - On the set.
16:50 - Why?
16:51 Because of the scene?
16:52 - Yeah, yeah, the other thing.
16:53 (speaking in foreign language)
16:55 - Either a doctor or a scientist.
16:57 - Your best asset?
16:58 - Personality.
17:00 (speaking in foreign language)
17:02 - Marianne?
17:03 (speaking in foreign language)
17:05 - Ding dong.
17:06 - Your dream role?
17:07 - Action star.
17:08 - Best friends in showbiz?
17:10 - Colleen, Billy, Julia, Marcus.
17:13 - Aside from acting, (speaking in foreign language)
17:18 Yes or no, (speaking in foreign language)
17:22 - Forgive but don't forget.
17:23 - Would you rather give or receive?
17:26 - Depends what we're talking about.
17:27 Is it cash?
17:28 (laughing)
17:30 - Okay.
17:31 - No, no, give, give, (speaking in foreign language)
17:32 - Yes or no, (speaking in foreign language)
17:35 - Again, yes but a no.
17:38 - Okay, yes or no, (speaking in foreign language)
17:40 - Single.
17:41 - Describe your ideal girl.
17:43 - Oh Lord, I don't know, (speaking in foreign language)
17:48 - And that's okay.
17:49 Best thing being Haley's dad.
17:51 - Oh, every time she sees me after a long time
17:55 and (speaking in foreign language)
17:58 - Priceless. - It's really cute, priceless.
17:59 - Yes or no, (speaking in foreign language)
18:02 - No.
18:03 (laughing)
18:03 (speaking in foreign language)
18:04 - Wish for Haley.
18:06 - That she has the best life.
18:10 Really until the day that she dies,
18:11 the best life that I can give her.
18:13 - Lights on or lights off?
18:14 - Lights on.
18:15 - Happiness or chocolates?
18:17 - Happiness.
18:18 - Best time for happiness?
18:20 - Any time of the day.
18:21 - Complete the sentence.
18:22 I'm Diego Loizaga, (speaking in foreign language)
18:27 - That's tough.
18:29 I'm Diego Loizaga, (speaking in foreign language)
18:34 (speaking in foreign language)
18:38 - That was tough.
18:48 - No, but I get it, I get it.
18:49 Okay, (speaking in foreign language)
18:54 - If two people can get married and they're happy, great.
19:01 Okay, that's perfectly fine with me.
19:04 (speaking in foreign language)
19:04 Marriage is a piece of paper
19:06 because it doesn't justify
19:08 na you can commit to this person.
19:10 It doesn't justify na because of this piece of paper,
19:13 you know, it makes us above anybody else who isn't married.
19:17 I think two people who have a child
19:19 can still raise that child
19:21 and have a beautiful outcome for that child.
19:25 (speaking in foreign language)
19:27 Again, that's just my opinion.
19:28 (speaking in foreign language)
19:30 - Your thinking is I'm not gonna go into marriage.
19:33 - I'm not saying that.
19:34 - You're not saying that.
19:35 - I think--
19:36 - You don't know what's gonna happen.
19:37 - I cannot.
19:38 - Right.
19:38 - Again, one day at a time.
19:39 (speaking in foreign language)
19:40 - Haley's of age, here is a guy who falls in love
19:43 and your daughter falls in love with him.
19:46 Will you demand for marriage?
19:47 - It would really depend.
19:49 I'd ask the guy to prove it to me first.
19:51 - And every parent would want the best.
19:53 - For their child, right, of course.
19:55 - And that's a peak to forever.
19:58 - Yeah, yeah.
19:59 (speaking in foreign language)
20:00 Please invite everybody to your movie again.
20:02 So ladies and gentlemen, A Glimpse of Forever,
20:05 directed by direct J.P. Laksamana, a brilliant director.
20:08 So of course, you will be expecting
20:10 a wonderful, beautiful film.
20:12 It is (speaking in foreign language)
20:14 Jasmine Curtis and myself.
20:16 Please come watch.
20:17 It'll be in cinemas nationwide starting March 6th.
20:21 Thank you.
20:21 - Last question.
20:22 You are at the pearly gates, God is there.
20:24 And he says (speaking in foreign language)
