03:04So,
03:05you know,
03:06what they fit to my age,
03:11when I became a leading lady,
03:15you can really see the passion of mothers in the showbiz.
03:19It's a good thing that Ate Rochelle is there,
03:22to continue the showbiz,
03:25which is a good thing for her.
03:27It's been a long time.
03:29She got sick.
03:31That's why it's good that
03:35we have a daughter who will continue her legacy.
03:38Yes, yes.
03:39Right?
03:40Because,
03:41it's not a joke that
03:43mother is not here.
03:44That's true.
03:46What is the biggest lesson that you learned from your mother?
03:50Lesson?
03:51The one that you will carry on till now.
03:55What is it?
03:59I don't know.
04:00To save.
04:03To save.
04:04Because we know that
04:06mother saves.
04:08So, I will save too.
04:10I don't want to spend too much.
04:12But mother is generous.
04:14Mother is generous.
04:15You are generous, Mars.
04:16Yes.
04:17It's like,
04:18because mother,
04:19you can't see that she's too garbo.
04:22Yes.
04:23She's on her own.
04:24She's on her own.
04:25Yes.
04:26You can see that she's wearing a white polo.
04:28White, you know.
04:30It's like,
04:31she's wearing the same outfit.
04:33It's simple.
04:34It's simple.
04:35You can't see that.
04:36Of course,
04:37when there are special occasions,
04:39you can see her diamonds.
04:41Yes.
04:42But it's not like
04:44everyday she's wearing diamonds.
04:46Right?
04:47So,
04:48she's really,
04:51simple too.
04:53I won't be a fulfilled artist.
04:56Not because of
04:58what she did.
05:00If you believe me,
05:02when she gave me projects,
05:03there are a lot of movies that I watched.
05:06To her?
05:07Okay.
05:08One of them is award-winning.
05:09Okay.
05:10One of them is award-winning.
05:13The trust that she gave me,
05:16I won't be able to repay.
05:19Because that's my dream.
05:21Right?
05:22So,
05:23she said that her dream is to be an artist.
05:25But she's not an artist.
05:27She's just a producer.
05:29So,
05:30her dream to be an artist,
05:33she fulfills it for other people who want to be an artist.
05:38So,
05:39that's my dream.
05:40Okay.
