00:00Welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
00:21For all the viewers on Facebook and YouTube listening to DZW, welcome to the program.
00:31Thank you very much.
00:34Our guests this afternoon are Lilith Matias, but that's going ahead of the story.
00:40Please welcome Lloyd Samartino and Rita Aguilar.
00:52Hi, Lloyd.
00:53Hello, Boy. Nice to see you.
00:54How are you?
00:55What is this? Why are we here?
00:57Who is this?
01:00Did you think you're the only one with a talk show?
01:02Me too.
01:03And it's even faster.
01:04I know.
01:06It gives people legal advice.
01:10Yes.
01:11Which he will need soon.
01:14Lorena, relax.
01:17Don't let it fall.
01:21Yes!
01:30What's it for?
01:31What an exercise.
01:32I know.
01:33The one you helped me with.
01:35Yeah.
01:37Let's talk first about it.
01:38Yes.
01:39I brought this because I want to thank you nationwide.
01:43Because Boy Abunda wrote the blurb for my Tagalog funny love story.
01:51I didn't know you're a novelist.
01:53That's true.
01:54I asked for help and he didn't refuse me.
01:59Thank you very much because the blurb you wrote is beautiful.
02:03Proud to be part of that book.
02:05By now, we all know that she is Lilith's mother.
02:10Yes.
02:11Were you surprised?
02:13I was.
02:14You were surprised?
02:15I was.
02:16Okay.
02:17But there's more to come.
02:19So it's not over yet?
02:20Not yet.
02:21Yes.
02:22People think that when Lilith's real mother finds out, the show is over.
02:27No.
02:28Because that's what they've been waiting for.
02:30The revelation.
02:31Correct.
02:32It's been a long time.
02:33Yes.
02:34But no.
02:35There's more to come.
02:36You know, I'd like to know.
02:37I mean, get your opinion.
02:38I'd like to get your opinion.
02:39What is the magic of Lilith Matias?
02:43What is the magic?
02:45I think, first of all, Joe Berry has a fan base.
02:50And I've always said this even in other interviews.
02:54I'm very happy that GMA and other stations are giving people like her a platform.
03:01Because the talent is there.
03:04You know, this is the first time I've worked with her.
03:07And I was amazed at how, what a good actress she is.
03:10Yes, she is.
03:11You know, and you forget the small size.
03:14Dita, what do you think?
03:16What is the magic of Lilith Matias?
03:19Joe Berry herself.
03:22She has angels like us.
03:24When she started, her father died.
03:27Her brother and an uncle within a month.
03:30And then she started taping for her show.
03:34So, her feelings were heavy.
03:36But now, I think she's being guided.
03:39And the kid is good.
03:41She's so kind.
03:43And she's so funny.
03:46She's really sunshine.
03:48She has a good disposition.
03:50Yes, yes.
03:51Our guest, Lilith Matias, how are you both?
03:55You remember the good old days.
03:57What comes to mind first when you talk about Nora Honor?
04:01I mean, I will say this over and over again, boy.
04:05My career is what it is because Nora Honor became my leading lady.
04:10When Annie Batumbacal came out, it catapulted me into leading man status.
04:16Only because she chose me to be part of that.
04:20Were you in a relationship during that time?
04:22No.
04:23I think it was made up to sell a movie.
04:28And I didn't know anything about that.
04:30Initially, because we were friends when we were doing Annie Batumbacal.
04:35And, of course, we saw each other.
04:38And people would take pictures.
04:40So, they would write all these things.
04:42And I would be told, not by her, but I would always be told,
04:46do not contradict because we're selling a film.
04:49Okay.
04:50So, go with the flow.
04:52All right.
04:53Until the movie finished.
04:57But there was never a boyfriend-girlfriend situation with her and me.
05:03Showbiz in the past and now.
05:06Differences and similarities.
05:08What is your experience?
05:09Because this is Seiko baby.
05:11In the past, I think we were the last batch of movie stars.
05:16Because movie stars and television stars are different.
05:19We were just guests in TV shows.
05:23Only to sell.
05:24And to sell a film.
05:25Yes.
05:26To sell a film.
05:27Yes, to promote a film.
05:28Then, I also experienced Sampaguita.
05:31Yes.
05:32There were fan clubs that were really shy.
05:36Then, when they asked for a picture with you,
05:41you would really write it.
05:43You would send it to them.
05:44You would mail it.
05:45Things like that.
05:47It was fun.
05:48It was fun.
05:50Then, when we were in the province,
05:53there were a lot of people.
05:55Either I would be carried to the other side.
05:59Or you would be under the people.
06:02The fans back then were rabid.
06:05Always the fans.
06:07I see it.
06:08When I see Katniel, it's the same.
06:12It's the same boy.
06:14Actually, I had a phobia after a while.
06:18You cannot go anywhere without being mobbed.
06:22I didn't know.
06:24Look at him.
06:26I didn't know.
06:28I did not have the mindset to understand
06:34that you're being mocked.
06:38Mom was a superstar.
06:39So, fame was not a new concept to you, I would assume.
06:43Well, her fame.
06:46Not mine.
06:47Correct.
06:48But you saw it.
06:49I saw it.
06:50Because your mom was a huge, massive, colossal star.
06:53That's why I was turned on into this industry.
06:57Because I saw the adulation that they had.
07:02I didn't see the dark side of the intrigue and all that.
07:06I just saw that wherever they went,
07:09they're paid so massively.
07:13And then, you're given VIP treatment all the time.
07:16Didn't your mom scold you?
07:17She said, son, this is what happens when you come here.
07:20You know, I'll tell you, my mom didn't want me to enter showbiz.
07:23And I never understood why.
07:25And it was much later that she explained it to me.
07:27She said, because you don't understand the heartache
07:31that comes with it.
07:32How affected was your private life during that time?
07:35Your love life, for example.
07:37Because you couldn't go private, Lloyd.
07:39I mean, how affected were you guys?
07:42I always felt very protective of my personal life.
07:46You know, whoever I dated, I didn't want.
07:49Because with others, you really, you make sure you're seen.
07:57You flaunt.
07:58You flaunt it because you want to be talked about.
08:00And I get that now.
08:02But during that time, I felt it was such an invasion of my, you know.
08:06Because sometimes, when you're in a relationship,
08:08people get scared.
08:10Or the family of the girl doesn't understand.
08:13Why are people, you know, calling us 24 hours a day?
08:17Okay.
08:18So, that was my experience.
08:20For me, the publicity was coming from, say, films.
08:27I was crying.
08:28Because why is it like that?
08:29I didn't do that.
08:30Why is it like that?
08:32I was able to hide my private life.
08:35That's why my advice to Joe Berry is, you know,
08:40you just tell the press whatever you want to say or you want to share with them.
08:47But you can keep what you want to be kept.
08:49And that's the true measure of power for a public figure.
08:54You control the narrative.
08:56Of course, you have to.
08:57When you become public, you're public.
08:59There is no turning back.
09:00So, if you have something to hide, hide it properly.
09:04Because the moment you taunt, the moment you seduce a public,
09:08that's different.
09:09And sometimes, we're not aware of that.
09:11But anyway, let's do fast talk.
09:16Let's do fast talk.
09:17Lloyd, this is yours.
09:19All right.
09:20Okay.
09:21Close up, zoom out.
09:22Close up.

10:08Every time.
10:09Lloyd, pray to God now.
10:11Keep me grateful.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Let me wake up every day, Lord, and make me stay grateful so I don't nitpick about what's not there.
10:23Okay.
10:25If you wake up and you thank the Lord, you know, Lord, I'm awake.
10:30I'm alive.
10:31I have a room.
10:33I have air conditioning.
10:34I have a job.
10:37That starts it.
10:39And I share that with all other actors, too.
10:42All friends.
10:43Because we tend to focus on, I don't have this.
10:48I want Gabi's career.
10:50I want Coco Martin's career.
10:53You forget the blessings because you're so focused on the shallow stuff, in a way.
10:59So if you start your day with gratefulness, then doors open.
11:05And you're content.
11:06Lloyd, Rita, as parents, what are you afraid of?
11:11The answer is coming back to Fast Talk with Boy.

12:44Happiness.
12:45Best time for happiness?
12:47Anytime.
12:49What is your message for yourself today?
12:54Rita, since you're turning senior, enjoy life the way you wanna enjoy it.
13:01Love yourself, grow, find more interesting things to do in life.
13:07Let's talk about being parents.
13:09How are you and your son?
13:10It's still a work in progress.
13:11It is.
13:12What are you afraid of as a father?
13:14That my son will become a failure, not financially, but a failure in becoming a productive citizen.
13:24And I want my son to do great things.
13:29He was fortunate because of my in-laws.
13:33They made sure that all the grandchildren go to very good schools.
13:37My son went to an Ivy League school.
13:39But that's only a beginning.
13:41That's not enough.
13:43It's what you do with it that matters.
13:45What are you hoping for?
13:48Can I name him with Sergio?
13:50Serio.
13:51What are you hoping for?
13:52I want to be a bigger part of his life.
13:54I want him to be part of my life more.
13:58Because I'm not getting any younger.
14:00I'm slightly older than you, Rita.
14:03But with the people that you love, they enrich your lives.
14:08And that's what I want.
14:10And most of my intimate or close friendships are always with friends.
14:16Because I'm an only child.
14:19I have my mother.
14:21I don't have a father.
14:23And then my son is also an only child.
14:26So there are many holes in our lives that need to be filled up.
14:31I hear you, Lloyd.
14:33Rita, you're a mother.
14:35And your motherhood is complete.
14:37You know now you have Kate, right?
14:40While he was talking, what was playing in your mind?
14:45I'm also an only child.
14:46My parents are also separated.
14:48Kate is also an only child.
14:50Her parents are also separated.
14:52So, I guess...
14:55It perpetuates, sadly.
14:56I told him that we were meant to meet, to learn from each other, to help each other.
15:03Because we have the same wound.
15:06That's true.
15:09I'm afraid to be like my mother.
15:14I don't want to be...
15:16Sorry, my mother to her.
15:19I want to embrace her as a better mother.
15:24That's what she needs.
15:26You want to fix them.
15:28No, and I want to be a better mother.
15:31I want to be a better mother than my mother.
15:34It makes a lot of sense.
15:36Even for the best mothers.
15:38That's all, Rita.
15:39Because I also wanted to pay tribute to you.
15:41I will always remember you.
15:43Because you're from FM.
15:45You stuck to your core.
15:47You stuck to your truth.
15:49And this is us.
15:51That's why I asked you earlier.
15:53Are you able to talk about the babies, for example?
15:56Being dull parents, for example.
15:59It was not easy.
16:01Yeah.
16:02It was not easy.
16:04But you stuck to your guns.
16:06Where did you draw your strength from?
16:09And even with Yesu.
16:11I mean, sorry to mention his name.
16:13But I said, you're a creation of both love and pain.
16:16But I said, look at my friend, he's still holding on.
16:19Yes.
16:21God.
16:22Yeah, right?
16:23True.
16:24Maybe it's because I have the truth.
16:29You have the courage, right?
16:31Because other people, it's easy for them to judge that you're crazy.
16:37You're crazy, right?
16:39You're crazy.
16:41True.
16:42Because, sorry, but they're stupid.
16:45True.
16:46They're stupid.
16:48They're dumb.
16:50They're crazy.
16:52If they don't understand what you're doing.
16:54True.
16:56And in the Philippines, boy, there are a lot of crazy people.
16:59We brought the Daos to other countries.
17:02Everybody was delighted.
17:05It's different.
17:07The reception is different.
17:09Even in the airplane, the stewardess said,
17:11Oh, your kids are the most behaved on this flight.
17:13It's different.
17:14I said, why do Filipinos look at us like this?
17:18Here, it's so normal.
17:20They're so positive.
17:22So, there's still a difference in the way Filipinos think.
17:26Sorry.
17:27There should be a club for doll owners.
17:30Doll parents.
17:32Because there are people who come up to me,
17:34Ms. Rita, I also have a doll.
17:37We also celebrate birthdays.
17:39I said, why are you shy?
17:41Like that.
17:43I said, it's okay.
17:45So, they were inspired at that time.
17:48So, if there are people who think that it's not good for me,
17:51there are people who have lived their lives.
17:54They found their voice.
17:56Because you have your voice.
17:58And they know that they're not wrong.
18:00There's nothing wrong with what we're doing.
18:02But thank you so much for this opportunity.
18:04And let's invite everyone to join us in Lillet Matias.
18:07Yes.
18:09Ladies first.
18:10How long have you been waiting?
18:13You still have a lot to wait.
18:16Okay?
18:18Lillet Matias, attorney at law.
18:20You still have a lot of cases, you still have a lot of problems,
18:22you still have a lot of fights with Meredith.
18:25It's because of you.
18:27Meredith, Meredith.
18:29For me, I am very, very grateful to the fans of Lillet.
18:32Because of you guys, we have been extended until next year.
18:36Yes.
18:37Let's give her a round of applause.
18:43What a wonderful Christmas gift that you've given us.
18:50And Director Adolf and our EP, Ms. Arlene Pilapil.
18:53They are our parents.
18:55They are our supporters.
18:57Thank you so much.
18:59And to you, thank you so much.
19:01I still call Rita a flower.
19:03But you have a heart.
19:04Thank you so much for your support to us.
19:07To your homes every day.
19:09And be kind.
19:12Make your mom and dad proud.
19:14And say thank you.
19:16And do one good thing a day and make this world a better place.
19:19Goodbye for now. God bless.
