"Magkakabati rin kami in due time" — Angelu de Leon | Updated With Nelson Canlas
May pahayag si Angelu de Leon tungkol sa matagal nang alitan nila ng isa pang mahusay at sikat na aktres.
Proud din siya sa kanyang karakter na si Carmela Borromeo sa Kapuso family drama na “Pulang Araw.” Kahit daw kinaiinisan si Carmela, naiintindihan niya ang mga hugot nito bilang nanay. "Feeling ko nga bukod kay Peachy, ito 'yung character na tatatak sa akin," aniya. Si Peachy naman ang memorable din niyang karakter mula sa Kapuso hit series from the 90s na TGIS.
Ano kaya ang pakiramdam na maging bahagi ng mga hit na serye noon pa man at hanggang ngayon?

00:00One of the most challenging part of your life is when you battled Bell's Palsy.
00:08Because it just hits you, right?
00:11Yeah, yeah.
00:13You don't know where it's coming from.
00:16Are you more careful now?
00:18Yes, and don't take for granted anything, especially yourself and your health.
00:26Because anything can strike.
00:28Can you ask Ms. Angelo about the issue about Lodin?
00:32We'll find out in God's time, in G-Times.
00:36Hello, updaters, and welcome to Updated with Nelson Canlas.
00:40I'm sure you'll be irritated by our guest today on Updated with Nelson Canlas.
00:46She's the only one who has abused Adelina in the drama war series, Napulang Araw.
00:54Before she became a poor villain, she became the star of our favorite youth-oriented show in the 90s.
01:05And take note, certified public servant in real life.
01:10You don't need to guess because we already know her.
01:14Ms. Angelo De Leon.
01:17Hello there. Hello, Nelson.
01:20Angelo, okay.
01:22I like your intro. Balancing, balancing.
01:25Balancing, balancing, right?
01:27But I told you before we started, I'm really irritated by you, Mrs. Borromeo.
01:34For those who are irritated, I have the right to be irritated.
01:37And I have the right to curse Adelina because she's a bad influence on my son.
01:43Yes.
01:44You know, Angelo, we met on the set of Napulang Araw.
01:48At that time, you were just like, hello, Nelson.
01:51You were just like that.
01:52Yes.
01:53You were already quiet in one place.
01:55Yes, yes.
01:56And you know, when I watched Napulang Araw recently, that's when I understood why.
02:03Yes, I need to internalize all my anger in the world.
02:08It's hard.
02:09Knowing that you're a happy person.
02:11And when we see each other, it's like sunshine.
02:14Yes, yes.
02:16It's hard in a sense that it's emotionally draining.
02:21Especially if you're not like that, right?
02:24It's emotionally draining, but it doesn't feel that hard because of the co-actors I'm with.
02:32And with Direk Dom and everyone in the set.
02:36Because our set atmosphere, in all fairness, is happy.
02:43Everybody's professional.
02:44It's not a heavy set.
02:46So, the set becomes heavy when it comes to the scene.
02:50It's also easy for the characters to switch.
02:52For me, because before, I was more emotionally attached to my personal life.
03:00Let's say, right?
03:01If I need to cry or I need to be angry.
03:06Before, it was more personal.
03:08Now, there's more acting.
03:12You get me?
03:13There are methods.
03:14In a different level.
03:17It's not too personal.
03:18It's not too heavy.
03:20Only because, also, Carmela is totally different from Angelo.
03:25She's really different.
03:27Even the level of her love for her son is different.
03:33Because Carmela is very clingy, very manipulative, very hands-on.
03:40For me, I'm not like that.
03:44In a sense that I'm very carefree in a way with my children.
03:50It's like we're friends.
03:52So, that's the difference.
03:54When it comes to acting, it's not hard for me because I always remember the character.
04:00So, I always go back to Carmela.
04:02Also, her character references.
04:05But since you entered politics, you started appearing on television, right?
04:12Yes.
04:13How did you get back on television?
04:16And your role is still a villain.
04:19Yes.
04:20Why?
04:21First of all, when they offered me, I asked for the role.
04:27I said yes right away.
04:29Because I remember the stories of my aunt and my mom.
04:33They experienced the war during their time.
04:37And I know how difficult it is.
04:40In a sense that, even now, there's a remnant from my mother.
04:46There's a remnant.
04:47Because there was a time when I asked her.
04:51Because my mom is a bit of a hoarder.
04:53Sorry, I'm really going to hit my mom.
04:55No, she's a hoarder.
04:57My mom too.
04:59It's like that, right?
05:01Sometimes, we're minimalist.
05:04Because of their hoarder, we get traumatized.
05:07So, I asked her, I said,
05:09Mommy, why are you like that?
05:11Of course, you want to say that our life is okay now.
05:15If you want anything, it's easy to build it.
05:19She said, you don't know how it feels to have nothing.
05:26So, it hit me.
05:28The moment I heard Pulang Araw,
05:30and it was offered to me,
05:31and it was about that.
05:33I wanted to experience that.
05:35And knowing that it was Suzette,
05:39the creatives of GMA,
05:41Direk Dom,
05:42there were a lot of factors that made me say yes.
05:46She's also from GMA.
05:47So, I really said, wow.
05:48It's like I said, after a long time,
05:51even if I go back,
05:53it's my home network,
05:54and it's such a big project.
05:56So, I said, okay.
05:57I'll just say goodbye to my bosses,
06:00which is Mayor Vico and Vice Mayor Dodo.
06:04You were allowed.
06:06For sure.
06:07Yes, I was allowed.
06:08But of course, I need time management.
06:16Yes, because it's demanding.
06:18Of course, you do your work as a counselor.
06:21It's also very demanding.
06:23And your taping is also very demanding.
06:26How do you find time?
06:32In the car.
06:34In the car.
06:35You just flip it in the car.
06:39Nelson, you know the life of an artist, right?
06:43As much as I can,
06:46that's the most important thing.
06:47Time management.
06:49When I have time to rest,
06:52I don't take it lightly.
06:54I don't take it in vain.
06:56I really rest.
06:58And of course, balance with family life,
07:01with my children.
07:02So, my Sundays are very sacred to us,
07:07to us family.
07:09I'm sure your family is watching.
07:10And Hathi, really.
07:13They don't want to watch.
07:15They don't want to watch.
07:18When we get home,
07:20she's just in the background watching.
07:22Of course, our family is watching.
07:26There are kids.
07:28They don't look at us.
07:31Why?
07:32Yes.
07:33My two girls, they say,
07:36Oh, I know that voice of mom.
07:39So, when I get angry,
07:40the voice,
07:41there's that voice.
07:43Rafa, our youngest,
07:46she's like,
07:47I don't like to see you like that.
07:55Of course, she looks different.
07:57Your look is different.
07:59And then,
08:00her siblings tease her.
08:03They tell her,
08:05Oh, because mom's more kind to you
08:07than to us.
08:11In other times,
08:12they have to understand.
08:13Yes, of course.
08:14The youngest is different.
08:16Yes, I went through a different thing.
08:21I was a single mom.
08:24I had a lot of stress in life.
08:27Now, it's just half.
08:29At least, right?
08:30At least, it's reduced.
08:32It's reduced.
08:33It's reduced.
08:34But they're very proud of the show.
08:37Only because,
08:38they say,
08:39Mom, it looks international.
08:42That is true.
08:43It looks Hollywood.
08:44So, I said,
08:45Wow, that's what's beautiful.
08:47We can do that.
08:49That's one of the highlights of the show,
08:51I think.
08:53But you know,
08:54all the people I talked to,
08:57Filipinos,
08:58especially abroad,
09:00who get to watch it,
09:01they're really proud
09:04of your product.
09:07Yes, yes.
09:08That's why,
09:09that's where we lose our tiredness.
09:12It's extra.
09:13Aside from,
09:14we're physically tired,
09:16but our spirits are high.
09:18You know,
09:20we're excited to have a full day.
09:23We're excited to see each other.
09:26At least, I can say that for myself.
09:28We're excited to work.
09:30Yes,
09:31especially your out-of-town locations.
09:33Three hours,
09:34four hours,
09:35minimum travel.
09:36Yes, yes.
09:37But they have the first few,
09:39especially the kids,
09:40they're happy.
09:41And of course,
09:42the crew and the staff,
09:43and of course, the director.
09:44Six hours to go,
09:45six hours to come back.
09:48So that's half a day.
09:50Yes.
09:51Of travel.
09:52Of just travel, right?
09:53Of just traveling.
09:55I think,
09:57for the viewers to have a reference,
09:59that's,
10:01one,
10:02the open field of the kids,
10:04playing baseball.
10:06And then,
10:07two,
10:09Julio's flashback scene,
10:11and the big Andalina and Teresita.
10:15It's like they're drinking in the field.
10:18So that's that.
10:19But when you see it,
10:21it's worth it.
10:22It's worth the trip, I'm sure.
10:25Angelo,
10:26okay,
10:28I'd like to know your working dynamics with Barbie.
10:32Especially the dangerous scenes,
10:34the scenes where you hurt her.
10:38Because you know,
10:39the execution is so real.
10:42Yes.
10:43You know,
10:44I admire Barbie because
10:47she's very professional.
10:49I was with her in Twin Hearts.
10:53She was still a baby back then.
10:56But this one,
10:57I can see how technical she is,
10:59how professional she is.
11:00There was a time
11:03when my nails were long.
11:06Because Direk was doing something,
11:08I know my nails are long.
11:10So I said,
11:11can I ask for a nail cutter?
11:16Because if I were to crush her
11:20in the head,
11:23my nails would be that long.
11:25I said,
11:26you know,
11:27you don't want to grow them.
11:28We have that kind of consideration.
11:30When it comes to Barbie,
11:31I'd say,
11:33I'm sorry.
11:35After that,
11:36I'd say,
11:37it's okay.
11:39So there are things like that.
11:41It's good that we're comfortable with each other.
11:43I would want to think that we're comfortable with each other.
11:45That's why we have that level of respect.
11:48Not just Barbie,
11:50even Cassie,
11:51the young Adelina,
11:52right?
11:53Yes.
11:54I'm sure you're more careful
11:57because she's still a baby.
11:58I'm more careful.
11:59I'm more careful,
12:00but I always say,
12:02I don't want to hurt you,
12:04but you need to feel something.
12:08I think my very first scene
12:11in Pulang Araw,
12:12that's the scene where
12:14she said goodbye and went inside.
12:16I suddenly pulled her.
12:20After that,
12:23she was shocked.
12:24She was free for a while.
12:26After the cut,
12:27I ran to her.
12:28I said,
12:29I'm sorry.
12:32For all it's worth,
12:34all the people I talked to in Pulang Araw
12:36who were in your scene,
12:38they all love you.
12:43They learned a lot from you.
12:46They love you so much.
12:48If you don't take,
12:50you become Angelou.
12:53Yes.
12:55I break away.
12:56I break away as much as possible.
12:59But it's not hard to come back.
13:02It's not hard.
13:04Maybe I've also come to that point
13:06that it depends on the scene.
13:08If the director says,
13:10there's still one shot,
13:14I don't break.
13:15But if he says,
13:16it's clear,
13:17it's reversed,
13:18it's long,
13:19it's wide,
13:20then I'm okay.
13:21If it's not a breakdown,
13:23it's a breakdown.
13:24I've come to learn that
13:26throughout the years.
13:29Throughout the years.
13:30Throughout the years.
13:31She's still so old.
13:34You know,
13:35I'm not going to ask you
13:36about being Carmela
13:37because we might spoil a lot more.
13:39Because,
13:43I saw it on Netflix,
13:44it's 100 episodes.
13:46I watched it earlier
13:47before I could talk to you.
13:50So, of course,
13:51I'm going to tease you again.
13:54It's true.
13:55But you know,
13:56I'm happy because
13:58it's such a breath of fresh air.
14:00Especially for the actors.
14:03It's such a breath of fresh air
14:05when they say,
14:06we've been watching Kulang Araw,
14:07Conce,
14:08but they're smiling.
14:10But we want to tease you.
14:13What do they say to you?
14:16What?
14:17I always say,
14:18I don't get teased here.
14:20I don't get teased.
14:21That's it.
14:23But you know,
14:24it's just funny
14:25because I think
14:27it's extreme.
14:28When I think about it,
14:30I don't defend Carmela
14:34just because
14:35I know her character.
14:36She's like my mother.
14:38Because I said,
14:39how can you let go of your child?
14:43She's so kind.
14:44Let's just say
14:45because they're so close.
14:46She's so kind.
14:47Then,
14:48the half-sister came
14:50and suddenly ran away.
14:53Your child.
14:54Suddenly,
14:55she said no to you.
14:57Which is like,
14:59I said,
15:00maybe mothers are like this
15:02when it comes to fighting for their children.
15:06I saw the demarcation line
15:10right after the scene
15:12in Bodaville.
15:15Because in the first scene in Bodaville,
15:18she's kind.
15:19I can feel that Carmela is kind.
15:21Then,
15:22when she found out
15:23that Julio has another child,
15:25she suddenly ran away.
15:27Yeah.
15:28I saw that.
15:29It's clear.
15:30Yes, yes.
15:31I said,
15:32it's funny
15:33that all of us,
15:34all of us,
15:36when you think about it,
15:37the character is very clear.
15:40It's very clear
15:42how the audience feels.
15:45Okay.
15:46If you're a contrarian here in Pulang Araw,
15:48we know that
15:49you were a star
15:51in TGIS in the 90s.
15:53There.
15:54As Maria Patrice.
15:56Also known as Peachy.
15:59Yes, Peachy.
16:00Wow.
16:03I feel like
16:04I don't have a generation
16:05that didn't watch TGIS.
16:07I know how old you are.
16:11I'm older than you.
16:13I'm older than you for sure.
16:16That's why you watched it more.
16:18Yes, that's why I watched it more.
16:20But it's your 29th year anniversary
16:23of TGIS.
16:24Yes.
16:25Yes.
16:2629 years.
16:27Oh my gosh.
16:28That's how old we are.
16:29But no.
16:30But you started at 2.
16:33Yeah, let's say that.
16:35Actually,
16:36it's funny.
16:37Like I said,
16:38from Peachy,
16:40I feel like Carmela
16:41is the next one
16:42that stands out to me.
16:43Both extremes.
16:45But going back to TGIS,
16:47it's just so happy
16:50that after all these years,
16:52there are still a lot of people
16:53who are still in love.
16:54Especially when
16:55I want to be mad at you
16:56but you're still Peachy Real to me.
16:59So those kinds of moments.
17:02We know that
17:03that is the biggest TV show
17:06at that time.
17:07Yes.
17:08And
17:09the popularity
17:12and the following.
17:15How was it back then
17:16compared to now?
17:20Oh,
17:21totally different, I guess.
17:22Because now,
17:23actors are easily accessible
17:26through comments.
17:28It can be very direct.
17:31Before,
17:32there were just other fans.
17:33But it's funny
17:34because there are still
17:35other fans
17:36who go to the set.
17:37I see Barbie,
17:38David,
17:39Alden,
17:40Sanya
17:41they still go to the set.
17:42And when I see that,
17:43I'm like,
17:44oh my gosh.
17:45We were like that before.
17:46We have fans
17:47who go to the set
17:48that would just hang out there
17:49and just wait for us to finish.
17:51And just to hang out with us.
17:53Back then,
17:55the way they connect with us
17:56is through letters.
17:57So they will be sent to VIVA.
18:00So VIVA will give us
18:01a stack of letters.
18:03Then there are souvenirs.
18:05There are trinkets.
18:06Things like that.
18:07Now,
18:08there is more
18:09direct access.
18:13It's good and bad
18:14I guess,
18:15at the same time.
18:18But now,
18:21the other day,
18:22I talked to Snooki.
18:25He told me that
18:27when it was premiere night,
18:29it was crazy.
18:32People were walking outside.
18:34You still reached that era
18:37when it was premiere night
18:38of your movie.
18:39Yes.
18:40People were still walking outside.
18:42Yeah.
18:45Yes.
18:46We still reached that era.
18:49That's why we're fortunate
18:50that you can still compare.
18:52But the level of love
18:55and level of regret
18:58if there's any,
18:59there's none.
19:00You know that?
19:01The level of love,
19:02at least I reached that.
19:04At least I committed that.
19:05The level of regret,
19:06there's none.
19:07I wouldn't be who I am now
19:09or where I am now
19:11if not for that.
19:14And now,
19:15there are a lot of avenues.
19:17There's not a lot of people
19:19going to the movies
19:21or to your mall show
19:23or to your premiere night.
19:26There are a lot of views.
19:28Some downloaded,
19:29some watched.
19:31That's the level.
19:35So,
19:36there's more pressure now
19:38if I would think about it.
19:40Because before,
19:41you can only watch it on TV
19:43or in movies.
19:44Now,
19:45there's Netflix,
19:46there's View,
19:47there's YouTube.
19:49Other than the social media
19:50that you do on your own.
19:52Right?
19:53Other than that,
19:54there's even TikTok.
19:57So,
19:58there's a lot.
19:59It's like,
20:00where we can see
20:01the artists.
20:03Yes.
20:04There are a lot of avenues.
20:06There are a lot of platforms.
20:10You need to choose
20:11where you will hit.
20:14Or sometimes,
20:15you hit and miss.
20:17Right?
20:18Sometimes,
20:20you don't watch it on TV
20:22but in movies,
20:25you watch a lot.
20:26Sometimes,
20:27you don't watch it on TV
20:28but your views are so high
20:31on YouTube or TikTok.
20:33So,
20:34there are a lot of avenues.
20:35You have to really find your niche
20:36and your target audience.
20:38Those who are with you on TGIS,
20:41we know that
20:42for a while,
20:43you were all so close.
20:44Until now,
20:45you're still close.
20:46Yes.
20:48Yes.
20:49We have a Viber group.
20:50It's just that
20:51the way of seeing each other
20:53so often
20:54doesn't happen.
20:55But we make it a point
20:56and we really
20:59plan something.
21:00It's not like before.
21:03We don't have a choice.
21:04We all see each other
21:05on taping.
21:06Now,
21:07this is how it is.
21:08And which is true.
21:10All of us now
21:13are busy with so many things
21:15in our plate.
21:17Don't you have...
21:18We have a get-together.
21:20Who was your closest
21:22in that group?
21:25In the group?
21:26Of course,
21:27Bobby is the one
21:29that I'm always with.
21:33At the end of the day,
21:35he's the one
21:39I talk to the most.
21:41Whatever.
21:42Shara too.
21:44When we see each other,
21:46it's as if we're never apart
21:48or we don't talk.
21:49Ever.
21:50So, it's exciting.
21:51Our level of friendship is different.
21:53I don't talk to Red that much.
21:55Raven,
21:57is Red here in the Philippines?
21:59No, he's in the States.
22:01He's in the States.
22:02He's in the States.
22:05But,
22:06everybody's...
22:07Of course,
22:08the kids in their 90s and me,
22:10I really want to know
22:12when you'll be reuniting.
22:14Yes, yes.
22:15I'll send you a picture
22:17when...
22:18Promise?
22:20Yes, yes.
22:21I promise.
22:22Okay.
22:23Before I continue,
22:24I would like to ask you first.
22:27Can we talk about
22:28your Bell's Palsy journey?
22:30Yeah.
22:31Okay.
22:32Sure, sure.
22:33But, I've always wanted to ask you.
22:35One of the most challenging parts
22:38of your life
22:39is when you battled
22:41Bell's Palsy.
22:43Because it just hits you.
22:45Right?
22:46Yes.
22:47Yeah.
22:48You don't know
22:49where it's coming from.
22:50It hits you.
22:51Yeah, it hits you
22:53at any given moment.
22:55Actually,
22:56that was my second Bell's Palsy.
22:58That was my second Bell's Palsy.
23:00My first was on my right,
23:03which was in 2001,
23:05something like that.
23:07And then,
23:08the second was in 2016.
23:12Different occasion,
23:13different manifestations also.
23:16My first one,
23:18I was tired.
23:20I just woke up
23:21and when I drank water,
23:22the water squirted.
23:24So, I was like,
23:25did you see that?
23:26I said, what's happening?
23:27So, nothing.
23:28Nothing happened
23:29until towards the end
23:30when you can see and feel
23:32that my right is getting heavier.
23:35But that one,
23:36I was caused by
23:38I was tired from taping.
23:42I moved the vent of the aircon
23:46before going to sleep.
23:47So, it was just like that.
23:49But because of my low immune system,
23:52that's when it hit me.
23:53So, Bell's Palsy hits the nerve
23:55inside the ear,
23:57somewhere in the nerve there.
23:59It hits there
24:00and paralyzes your face.
24:02My second,
24:03after one week or two,
24:05it returned to normal.
24:07But I know,
24:08I had a badminton game
24:12tournament with Tito Boy Abunda
24:14and I had that.
24:15I had a Bell's Palsy.
24:17But I didn't notice it much.
24:19But it returned in two weeks.
24:22My blast was caused also by fatigue.
24:27I came from a trip to Europe.
24:30When I got back,
24:31my kids and I went to Boracay.
24:33It was cold in Europe
24:35and hot in Boracay.
24:37Then, nothing.
24:38Normal.
24:39Nothing happened.
24:40We were just swimming.
24:42I said,
24:43wait, I'm going to pee.
24:44So, I lay down like that.
24:47I felt it.
24:48I said, Mommy,
24:49my eyes were falling.
24:50So, they thought
24:52they gave me medicine.
24:54It didn't push through.
24:56It didn't continue.
24:57After that night,
24:59I was okay.
25:01What happened was,
25:02seven days after,
25:04I was rushing to go to church.
25:06You know,
25:07you opened the water
25:11from the shower.
25:12Then,
25:13the first thing that came to me
25:14was cold water.
25:16When I got to church,
25:17that was it.
25:18I felt that
25:19my left face was getting heavier.
25:21I said, okay.
25:22So, I tried to take the medicines.
25:24That's what I did first.
25:26What scared me the most
25:28was because
25:31when I consulted the doctor,
25:33they said that
25:34you have to take an MRI
25:35because it might be
25:37a mini stroke
25:38because of the gap.
25:40Because I experienced
25:41a gap of seven days.
25:43So, that's what scared me.
25:45Now, I would say
25:47that it was more
25:49it was worse
25:50compared to the first
25:52because
25:53I have a remnant now
25:55of Bell's Palsy.
25:56And everyone,
25:57I think everybody can see that
25:58in Kulang Araw.
25:59And David was happy.
26:01He said,
26:02Tita, your eyes get smaller
26:03when you act.
26:06He noticed that.
26:07He noticed that.
26:08You know,
26:09kids these days.
26:10But no,
26:11I said, yeah,
26:12it's because of my Bell's Palsy.
26:14But you know,
26:15there was a time
26:16I got so depressed about it.
26:19Because, I said,
26:21why now?
26:24Of course,
26:25after the first
26:28when I found the Lord
26:29in 2006, 07.
26:32My life was
26:34normal,
26:36blessed.
26:38You know,
26:39there was no problem.
26:40And then suddenly,
26:41here comes this Bell's Palsy.
26:43It's like,
26:45I really got depressed.
26:47I was like,
26:48what am I going to do?
26:49Why now?
26:50Why now that you're so close
26:51to the Lord?
26:52And you know,
26:53your faith is stronger
26:54than ever.
26:56How did you get out
26:57of the depression?
26:59Because knowing that,
27:00of course,
27:01it really affects you
27:02physically.
27:03Yes.
27:04Physically.
27:05And you can't accept
27:06yourself like that.
27:07Yeah.
27:08And you want to say,
27:09this is the life of an artist.
27:10You're an artist.
27:11You're a face.
27:12You're like,
27:13You're a face.
27:14You're a face.
27:16Every time I would pray,
27:17I would, of course,
27:18I would ask God,
27:19I would say,
27:20Lord,
27:21please heal me completely.
27:22Everything.
27:23You know,
27:24you'll ask for prayers.
27:25Everything.
27:26But,
27:27one verse would always
27:28stuck with me.
27:29My grace is sufficient
27:30for you.
27:32In your weakness,
27:33my grace is sufficient
27:34for you.
27:35So, every time
27:36I hear that,
27:38at first,
27:39I thought it was like
27:42a curse.
27:43But now,
27:46after getting out
27:47of that depression,
27:48and after holding on
27:49to that Bible verse,
27:50I said,
27:52No.
27:53It's here for a reason.
27:55It's here because
27:56it makes me closer to God.
27:58It's here that,
27:59in spite of it being here,
28:02I said,
28:03in spite of it being here,
28:04that was the first time
28:05I had the billboard
28:07in EDSA.
28:08Wow.
28:09I had a Bells Falls
28:10back then.
28:12And now,
28:13Pulang Araw,
28:14and several other things
28:15that I worried about.
28:17But of course,
28:18other people would notice.
28:20Others would say
28:21that it's not good.
28:23But,
28:24it is what it is.
28:25But,
28:26it doesn't have
28:27any heaviness
28:28in me anymore.
28:29But that's it.
28:30It's noticeable.
28:31But,
28:32at least,
28:33I said,
28:34there's a reason.
28:35Everything happens
28:36for a reason.
28:38It's okay to be sad.
28:39It's okay to be depressed
28:40for a while.
28:41But,
28:42give your time
28:43to grieve
28:44or to be sad.
28:46But,
28:47give it time.
28:48As in,
28:49give it a short time.
28:50And then,
28:51get out of it.
28:53Sometimes,
28:54it's easier said than done.
28:55But,
28:56for me,
28:57it's really my faith
28:58that helped me
29:00get through this.
29:01And I think,
29:02all the things
29:03that I am blessed with,
29:04it's all because
29:05of the faith I have.
29:06Before,
29:07I was like,
29:08this is me.
29:09I'm beautiful.
29:10I'm like this.
29:11Now,
29:12it's because
29:13everything I have,
29:14it's given to me
29:15by God.
29:16So,
29:17that's it.
29:18Are you more careful
29:19now?
29:20Yes.
29:21And also,
29:22don't take
29:23for granted
29:24anything,
29:25especially yourself
29:26and your health.
29:27Because anything
29:28can strike.
29:29You know,
29:30I can't complain
29:31too much
29:32because
29:33it's not
29:34life-threatening.
29:35It's not
29:36that bad.
29:37I mean,
29:38there are other things
29:39that are worse.
29:41But,
29:42of course,
29:44I feel like
29:45I'm the only one
29:46who's affected.
29:47You know,
29:48it's like that.
29:49So,
29:50your self-esteem
29:51is the only thing
29:52that's affected.
29:53Yes.
29:54Your confidence level
29:55is the only thing
29:56that makes you
29:57conscious
29:58of where to face,
29:59what to do,
30:00if you'll smile,
30:01or something like that.
30:03You just have to accept it.
30:05And also,
30:06if I accepted it
30:07faster,
30:08if I didn't
30:09wallow in
30:10self-pity,
30:11maybe I could
30:12recover
30:13my muscles
30:14faster
30:15in a sense.
30:16Because
30:17they say
30:18it takes
30:19more muscles
30:20to smile
30:21than to frown.
30:22So,
30:23that's what
30:24affected her.
30:25Her nerves,
30:26her muscles.
30:27So,
30:28like I said,
30:29if
30:30I took
30:31it lightly
30:32in a sense,
30:33maybe the
30:34remnant
30:35wouldn't be
30:36this bad.
30:37But
30:38now,
30:39I can notice
30:40that when
30:41I'm tired,
30:42it's more obvious.
30:43But,
30:44if I'm well-rested,
30:45if I'm
30:46physically good,
30:47it's not
30:48that obvious.
30:49It's not
30:50noticeable.
30:51Except,
30:52of course,
30:53on a rainy day,
30:54when you're angry,
30:55it doesn't
30:56suit me
30:57to be angry.
30:58So,
30:59I really need
31:00to smile
31:01and laugh.
31:02Don't be sad.
31:03But,
31:04you're beautiful.
31:05You're still
31:06beautiful.
31:07You're beautiful,
31:08period.
31:09Aw,
31:10thank you.
31:12Wait,
31:13someone's messaging me.
31:15They're asking
31:16if I can ask
31:17Ms. Angelo
31:18about the
31:19issue about
31:20Lodin.
31:23What's that?
31:24It's been a long time.
31:26We'll talk
31:27about it
31:28in God's time
31:29and G-Time.
31:31But,
31:32has anyone
31:34reached out
31:35to you yet?
31:36Not yet.
31:37Not yet.
31:39Well,
31:40leave it at that.
31:41You're both my friends.
31:42Yes,
31:43yes.
31:49Before I let
31:50you go,
31:51in the podcast,
31:52I turned
31:53the tables around.
31:55You're the one
31:56asking me
31:58and then,
31:59we'll talk about
32:00the answer.
32:01Ah, okay.
32:02You've been
32:03working so hard
32:04also.
32:05I've seen you
32:06from the start
32:07to now,
32:08your own podcast.
32:09Even though
32:10you were bothered
32:11by the banks,
32:12no, I'm kidding.
32:14I'm really bothered
32:15to be honest.
32:16No,
32:17but thank you
32:18for doing this for me.
32:19And then,
32:22what do you
32:23still enjoy
32:25with what you're doing?
32:27Because sometimes,
32:28there's tiredness,
32:29right?
32:30Sometimes,
32:31there's sadness.
32:32That's true.
32:33Now,
32:34what is it
32:36that still gives me
32:37joy?
32:38You know?
32:40You know,
32:41to tell you honestly.
32:42Is my question hard?
32:43Your question is really hard.
32:44But to be honest,
32:46what gives me joy
32:48when it comes to
32:49what I do is,
32:51it's a dynamic industry.
32:54Like,
32:55everyday,
32:56the people you talk to
32:57are different.
32:58Everyday,
32:59you learn different things.
33:00It's like,
33:01the people in front of you
33:02are always beautiful.
33:04It's like,
33:05I cannot complain
33:06if I get tired.
33:08If,
33:10it becomes,
33:11you know,
33:12I work more hours
33:13than the usual.
33:15It's okay because
33:17I have a lot of friends
33:18in this industry.
33:20In the real sense.
33:21Like,
33:22I mean,
33:23it's easy to say
33:24that my friend
33:25is Angel
33:26or my friend is this
33:27or my friend is that.
33:28But,
33:29it's really different.
33:30Like,
33:31your friend is really different.
33:32The feeling
33:33that I get
33:34every single time
33:35I face you guys,
33:37I really feel
33:38that
33:40I belong.
33:42I really
33:43belong in this industry.
33:44And,
33:45it's like,
33:46this is where
33:47my friends
33:48and family
33:49came together.
33:51Nice.
33:52Yes, it's the never-ending lesson
33:53and learning.
33:55That is true.
33:57Angelou, thank you very much.
33:58Thank you also.
34:05Yes.
34:19And we're very,
34:20very proud of you.
34:21Thank you, Nelson.
34:22God bless you.
