00:00Michael, did you always want to be a dancer?
00:11I'm also a late bloomer.
00:14Although my parents were Latin dancers.
00:19I just found out that your parents danced for Penthouse Live when Archie Laxon was here in GMA 7.
00:25GMA Eds, I remember.
00:27I was so young when my mom brought me here.
00:29Eventually, I was replaced by Martin at Penthouse Live,
00:33where I was already handling Martin and Pops as their publicist,
00:37until I became the RSVP, until I became my show, Show and Tell.
00:43I just found out about that.
00:44Me too.
00:46We've known each other for a long time.
00:48I have family friends who know your dad,
00:51who used to be a president of a shipping company,
00:54if I'm not mistaken.
00:55What was your dad's reaction when you first told him that you were going to be a showman?
00:59Oh, Uncle Boy, they knew it was Joshua.
01:02When they found out that we were going to be a member of Maneuvers,
01:05my dad really didn't like it.
01:07My dad was very strict.
01:09Even when I became an artist, when I became a part of TGIS,
01:12he really didn't like it.
01:14I didn't send you to this kind of school.
01:16It's like a movie, right?
01:18Okay.
01:19Just to become a dancer.
01:21What was the pivot?
01:22Where did he change his mind?
01:24He saw that I became independent.
01:28He saw that when I became a part of TGIS,
01:32actually, when I was still in Maneuvers,
01:34he saw that I was happy.
01:36You know, I mean, especially when I became an artist,
01:39he saw that I was making money.
01:43I'm talking about making money.
01:45During that time, you were able to make a living as a dancer.
01:50Did you make a lot of money?
01:51I can say that it wasn't that big.
01:54But during our time, we didn't really look at the money.
01:58I mean, we were looking at the number of shows that we were going to do.
02:02But you guys were not conscious about saving money?
02:05I mean, we were so young.
02:09We were just thinking about buying shoes.
02:12When I was an artist, I bought a car.
02:15You know, changing mags, sound system.
02:18Okay.
02:19Okay.
02:20But you guys were being managed by one of the best management houses in the country.
02:24Silangeli, Ang Genesis, right?
02:26Maneuvers was represented by Genesis.
02:29At ibang palakad, did you have rules?
02:32Bawal magpuyat, bawal makita kung saan-saan.
02:35Yes, the image.
02:36The image was very important.
02:38We really have to take care of our image, reputation, and everything.
02:41So, ano ang naaalalan yung mga importanteng batas na hindi dapat pasway?
02:46Tito, tinanong mo yung may naaalala ko bigla.
02:49I did parang isang alcohol na parang yapi-yapi lang indating.
02:54And then they went direct to me.
02:56So, ginawa ko yung project.
02:58Tapos nalaman ni Madam Jel.
03:00Talagang nagalit siya.
03:01At first, hindi ko talaga maintindihan bakit eh.
03:03Pero after a long while, naintindihan ko na, yeah, kasi alcohol siya.
03:07Something to do with the image.
03:09Okay.
03:10And you worked with, I mean, Mr.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Yeah.
