00:05 My dad loves musical theater.
00:08 Yeah.
00:09 So, that's why I grew up doing that.
00:11 That's why through the years, you know, I've done many, many, many musicals.
00:14 And he was a huge, big, big, big star.
00:16 He was the original Kilabotang Makulihiyana.
00:19 Before Ariel.
00:21 Until now, he still keeps the, you know, the...
00:24 He's different, right?
00:25 Yes.
00:26 But he is a good man.
00:27 I just wanted to say this.
00:28 Hads, if you're watching, thank you.
00:30 He doesn't change.
00:32 All of these years.
00:33 It's true.
00:34 He appreciates all of it.
00:35 Rach, at 15, you had a big hit.
00:38 Yes.
00:39 Mr. Cupido was my first hit song.
00:41 It was your first hit song.
00:43 And you just turned 50.
00:45 Yes.
00:46 Wow.
00:47 50 this year, yes.
00:48 This year.
00:49 15 and 50, that's right.
00:50 15 and 50.
00:51 Yes.
00:52 What's the difference?
00:53 I mean, from your personal perspective,
00:55 what's the difference between the time you were 15 and now that you have a hit?
00:59 And today that you're about to do a concert with that.
01:02 I'm so much more relaxed now.
01:04 I think that's what everyone says, right?
01:06 That now, if something bad happens,
01:09 if something bad happens, it's okay.
01:11 The show must go on, right?
01:13 Because at that time, if something wasn't perfect,
01:15 I was so much more of a perfectionist when I was younger.
01:18 Because maybe, you're not as confident,
01:21 you're still kind of afraid.
01:23 During that time, I would take things very hard.
01:26 Were you difficult?
01:27 Because I liked you because of your edge.
01:29 Yeah.
01:30 I have a lot of drama.
01:32 I like that.
01:33 Now, there's no drama.
01:35 I gravitate towards that.
01:37 You know that, right?
01:39 So, did people find that you're hardworking?
01:42 She's a perfectionist.
01:44 She's so talented.
01:45 I think people, it's not that I'm hardworking.
01:47 I wouldn't say anyone said that.
01:49 But they misinterpreted the seriousness of the face.
01:53 Because you were so driven.
01:55 Yes, so driven.
01:56 And I'm always thinking of what I'm going to do.
01:58 I can't make mistakes.
01:59 To the point that, unfortunately,
02:01 there are legends in the industry
02:04 that I sometimes pass by in the hallway.
02:07 And you don't notice.
02:08 I don't notice because I'm thinking about my lyrics.
02:10 I'm thinking, "Did anybody call you out?"
02:12 Yes.
02:13 Tito Dolphy.
02:14 Oh, my.
02:15 He got mad at me.
02:16 Tito Dolphy called you out?
02:17 He said, "Rachel Alejandro doesn't know how to show respect."
02:21 Oh, my God.
02:22 And Tito Dolphy apologized.
02:24 "I didn't see you."
02:26 Okay.
02:27 So, that would happen before.
02:29 That doesn't happen anymore.
02:30 Because now, as an older person,
02:32 I know that I'm in the room.
02:34 I have to greet everyone.
02:35 I have to smile.
02:36 Because I know that,
02:38 "Ate, your face isn't that friendly.
02:40 You need to do that."
02:42 It's automatic to me.
02:44 Who says that?
02:45 "Ate, your face isn't that friendly."
02:47 I say it to myself.
02:48 You talk to yourself.
02:49 Yes.
02:50 It's self-talk.
02:51 I know that a brave person needs to smile.
02:56 You can't just be like that or be stupid.
02:58 Because then, it will be misinterpreted as being upset.
03:02 How nice.
03:03 I mean, this is a great insight.
03:05 You were so focused.
03:06 And, oh, God.
03:08 I mean, the legendary Dolphy,
03:10 who was also very nice.
03:12 Very, very nice.
03:13 And, of course, he knew me from when I was a kid.
03:15 Because he was my dad's poker player from before.
03:19 What a story.
03:21 Right?
03:22 So, you learn from it, right?
03:24 Because if you offended someone who's a legend in the industry.
03:28 And it comes also with time.
03:29 It comes with seasons.
03:30 It comes with, I don't even want to say age.
03:33 Maturity.
03:34 Maturity.
03:35 Right?
03:36 We learn a lot from it.
