00:00This is a day for Reina because our guest today is a Reina.
00:11She is inarguably the prime time queen or the box office queen.
00:17The one and the only, Marian Rivera.
00:29Thank you so much.
00:31How are you?
00:33Happy.
00:34That's a beautiful answer.
00:36Happy.
00:37It's not easy to say that when it's not coming from the inside.
00:41Especially during and after the pandemic.
00:44You really think about it, right?
00:46How are you?
00:47Happy.
00:48And we can see that.
00:49But I won't get tired of saying that we owe so much to Marian Rivera.
00:57In the story of FASTA.
01:01It's not true.
01:02Because you're the first guest and that will always be important to all of us.
01:08Thank you so much.
01:11I'm speechless.
01:13Because every time I have a guest here, Uncle Boy always says that.
01:18No, thank you so much.
01:19Even though I'm mumbling.
01:21Tell me, I'll do it.
01:23No, but I'm very happy that you're doing Balota.
01:26I know that at this point in your life, your family is very important.
01:30It's essential to your life.
01:33So the question is, why did you make Balota, this film?
01:39When I read the script, Uncle Boy, you know, you have a pulse that you're eager to do it.
01:46That's how I felt when I read the script of Balota.
01:49Then I told myself, maybe this is the moment I've been waiting for,
01:52to make a film that I haven't done yet.
01:56And you're very proud of the material.
01:59Why?
02:00The message is beautiful.
02:02It's beautiful to watch a film that you'll learn something from.
02:06When you watch a movie, you know that it has an impact on you.
02:10And I want to do this for myself, for the people of the country, for my family.
02:14And it's very relevant now.
02:15Last night, RD sent me some clips from the documentary that I made a couple of years ago
02:21when you were a judge in Miss Universe.
02:23It was directed by the one and only Dong, right?
02:26Yes.
02:27It's beautiful.
02:28But there's a part in the documentary where you asked your mom what her dream was.
02:36She said, to become a teacher.
02:40And then you laughed.
02:41And then you laughed.
02:42You said, you know, Ma, when I ask, my answer is teacher.
02:47Can you go back to that conversation?
02:49Actually, I cried because it's not just about people's knowledge.
02:53My mom worked abroad.
02:55My mom raised me.
02:57So I grew up without my mom by my side.
03:00My mom was there for me.
03:02And then suddenly, we made this documentary and I asked her.
03:06So I cried because we have a strong connection.
03:08Even though we don't have communication, she likes it and I like it.
03:12Which is to become a teacher.
03:13Correct.
