00:00The Untold Story of Jillian from My Mother, My Story, this Sunday, July 21, 2 PM.
00:16And don't miss the comedy primetime weekend block.
00:19It means Pepito Manaloto, Running Man Philippines, and Bubble Gang.
00:24Thank you very much.
00:26There was a time that you used to do voicing.
00:29And you even dubbed, I think, right?
00:31Oh, yeah.
00:32When I started in the showbiz, I mean, in the movies, I was a dubber.
00:38I got a dubber.
00:39What I dubbed was what our movies in English were doing back then.
00:44They were showing it in Okinawa, in Hong Kong, in Hawaii.
00:48So, I was always the voice of Joseph Estrada.
00:51In English.
00:52All the English voices were mine.
00:55What I want to say to the kids, I told Leo off-cam,
01:00impressive is a weak word, right?
01:03Your body of work in the theater is magnificent.
01:07It's so beautiful.
01:08You know, I was reading your materials last night.
01:10I said, Leo did all of this?
01:12Yes.
01:13Equus, Caligula, all the big, big theatrical roles.
01:18But, you know, I'm just so happy.
01:20That's why I meant it when I said, I am honored to be in your presence.
01:23But, let's talk about, just quickly,
01:25two minutes now,
01:26the congressman, Manik Manaug.
01:29How did that come to be?
01:30In 1989, we couldn't get a congressman to do an interview.
01:36Mr. Shuley, John Urbano, said,
01:40you do it.
01:41I said, okay.
01:43I'll invent a character.
01:45But, I want to use a punting Batangueño.
01:50Okay.
01:51So, I asked Nani Perez, who was a congressman at the time,
01:56and Bono Adasa,
01:57the combination of the two,
02:00that's the congressman, Manik Manaug.
02:02The thing is,
02:05you think he knows it all, but he's stupid.
02:10He's so good at it, but he's stupid.
02:12Okay, so that's how it was born.
02:13Okay.
02:14When they say, you talk to women, you talk to men,
02:18you always hear this line.
02:20You know, sex appeal is about sense of humor.
02:23Is that true?
02:25I don't know.
02:29I'm not a woman.
02:31But even men, they would say, I like funny women.
02:35She makes me laugh.
02:38Not me.
02:39I don't like funny women.
02:41Really? You don't like funny women?
02:42I mean, okay.
02:44You like them strong?
02:47Maybe.
02:48No, you know why?
02:49Because we're talking about your wife, Gina, for example.
02:51Our friend, Sheree.
02:52Yes.
02:53Right?
02:54How was your relationship before our friend, Sheree, passed on?
02:59Before?
03:00We were very close.
03:02Even Gina and Sheree are close.
03:04Our good friends.
03:06I'll show you a picture of the two.
03:08There.
03:09Beautiful.
03:11Happy, happy, happy life.
03:13And my children, they grew up.
03:15They're siblings.
03:17Every time you're asked in interviews, how many children do you have?
03:19You always say, two, one, three.
03:21Two, one, three.
03:22Two in the first, one in the second.
03:24That's how simple it is.
03:25That's how simple it is.
03:26But I don't...
03:27Because it's my fault.
03:29I don't want to add to that.
03:30I don't want to be a hypocrite.
03:32That's right.
03:33He doesn't want to be a congressman.
03:34Yes.
03:36Although he understands that he's a congressman.
03:39Okay.
03:40Last question, Leo.
03:41Leo, quickly, what is the difference between acting on a board, on television, in movies, and now in socmed?
03:51Well, there's no difference.
03:53As an artist, you need to distinguish where you're acting.
03:57What platform?
03:58Yes.
03:59In theater, you use something different than in movies.
04:04In theater, there needs to be tension.
04:07So, the exercises there are tension exercises.
04:10But in movies and television, it's relaxing.
04:13Give it a line.
04:14For example, I love you.
04:16In theater, how would you say that?
04:19You need to position it first if there's proscenium.
04:23Because it's proscenium.
04:25That's the difference.
04:27There's no proscenium when we talk.
04:30He's the one who adjusts it so he can get me.
04:34I love you.
04:35So, it's different.
04:36It depends on where you are.
04:37In theater, there's tension.
04:40Because there's tension.
04:42It's larger than life.
04:45This is life itself.
04:48Leo, thank you very much.
04:52The one and the only Leo Martinez.
04:55I hope there's still time.
04:57But that's how life is, right?
05:00Congressman, thank you very much.
05:01Thank you very much.
05:02Please give Leo a round of applause.
05:04Thank you very much, Naytay Kapusa,
05:06for continuing with us,
05:07for your daily activities.
05:09Be kind.
05:10Make your mother and father proud.
05:11And say thank you.
05:12Do one good thing a day and make this world a better place.
05:15Goodbye for now.
05:16God bless.
05:17Chris Jasler, thank you.
05:33You're welcome.
