00:00Now, let's talk about the journey of our guests this morning.

00:04It's none other than the Philippine pilot, Chesca Gonzalez.

00:09Good morning and welcome to Rise of the Philippines.

00:11Good morning.

00:12Actually, this is my friend, Chesca.

00:15Oh, Chesca.

00:16And Chesca has achieved so many things.

00:19It's like no one can stop her.

00:21She's so hardworking.

00:22Yes.

00:22Inspiration to many.

00:24It's true.

00:24From a nurse, you also did an F.A.

00:27Yes.

00:28And then, she also did business.

00:30Now, you became a pilot.

00:31That's where you got to know each other.

00:32And you're also a mother.

00:34You have two children.

00:36How did you manage to have two children at the same time?

00:37How many hands do you have?

00:38Just two.

00:39Twenty.

00:40Twenty.

00:41Alright.

00:42So, let's get to know more about you, Chesca.

00:44I'm also interested in becoming a pilot

00:47because many people want to dream of becoming a pilot.

00:51How did you decide to enter this profession?

00:55Maybe, it's funny because it's my dream.

00:57But, I really wanted to become an astronaut when I was a kid.

01:00Oh.

01:01That's your dream.

01:02It's your dream.

01:03Others want to become a doctor or an engineer.

01:05I wanted to become an astronaut when I was a kid.

01:07Okay.

01:08That's where it started.

01:09That's where it started.

01:10It's okay.

01:11Because it's already close.

01:12It's already close.

01:13Yes.

01:14It's already close.

01:15Well, you started as a nurse.

01:17You became a pilot, business owner

01:20in a company in Dubai and the Philippines.

01:23So, what did you learn from each trial

01:26and journey that you embarked on?

01:28Every profession that I entered,

01:31I learned different things.

01:33But, maybe starting with the nurse,

01:35I think it's the compassion.

01:37It's the empathy of, you know,

01:40thinking of other people first.

01:42And, when it comes to becoming a pilot,

01:45it's the responsibility.

01:47Because you really hold the lives of other people.

01:50Aside from the responsibility,

01:52it's also the discipline.

01:54The discipline is really different.

01:56Because of your sleep,

01:58what you need.

02:00Your sleep should be complete.

02:02Your mind should always be sharp and everything.

02:04So, when it comes to piloting,

02:06it's the dedication as well.

02:08Then, the hard work, of course.

02:10And, when it comes to being a business owner,

02:13it's really different when it comes to being a pilot

02:15and when it comes to being a nurse.

02:17Because what I learned here,

02:20you can try so many things.

02:22You can face so many things.

02:24You might think that

02:26we only learned about emergencies.

02:28But, this is the real life of an emergency

02:30in terms of finances,

02:32in terms of operations, management.

02:34You're really all-in-one.

02:36So, I really learned a lot.

02:38How do you transition yourself there

02:40from being a pilot to a business owner?

02:42It's really based on experience.

02:45It's like you went to war.

02:47You know the basics,

02:49but when you're there, it's really different.

02:51That's why my transition is different.

02:53My transition is not a college degree,

02:55but it's really more of the experience.

02:59Why do you want to try

03:01everything?

03:03That's what I noticed.

03:05Because some would focus on being a nurse.

03:07Some would focus on being a pilot.

03:09You tried everything.

03:11Why is that your direction?

03:13Both personal and professional growth

03:15to consider.

03:18Aside from the titles,

03:20because some do things

03:22for the titles.

03:24You're a captain, you're a doctor.

03:26I'm not.

03:28It's really more of trying out things.

03:30Because when you're old,

03:32I don't want to regret.

03:34I'll tell myself,

03:36I should have tried this when I was young.

03:38I don't think there's a perfect time to start,

03:40but now.

03:42So, I'm just trying.

03:44I'm looking at where I excel.

03:46I really love the professions that I've tried.

03:48But, I think

03:50being a pilot is one of the things

03:52that I really love.

03:54I'll be back soon.

03:56But at the moment,

03:58it's really more of

04:00trying out things in other countries

04:02and in the Philippines.

04:04Where are you really good at?

04:06You will maximize your potential.

04:08You will inspire more people in other industries.

04:10So you don't have a what if.

04:12Yes, you should.

04:14Just think of Cheska.

04:16She's a man.

04:18You can do it.

04:20But I wonder,

04:22I mean,

04:24being a pilot,

04:26it's a work that

04:28the stigma is,

04:30most of the men who work here,

04:32how do you dominate

04:34or how did you enter this industry?

04:36Considering that.

04:38It's good that

04:40I was raised

04:43with a strong heart.

04:45It's also important that you have that support.

04:47That when you grow up,

04:49you can do it even if you're a woman.

04:51Because sometimes,

04:53you're limited by people around you

04:55because you're a woman.

04:57But at the end of the day,

04:59when you think about it,

05:01there's no real profession for men.

05:03Because all professions

05:05can be for women.

05:07Also,

05:09being a pilot,

05:11there are only a few female pilots.

05:13I'm fond of industries like

05:15blockchain.

05:17In one of my businesses,

05:19there are only a few female pilots.

05:21Here in the Air Force,

05:23there are only a few female pilots.

05:25So for me,

05:27I think I'm an example for other people

05:29that they can do it even in any industry

05:31that they feel like it's only for men.

05:33And now, there are more female pilots.

05:35It's really fun.

05:37Okay, so now,

05:39you're in Dubai and also here in the Philippines.

05:41How's the experience of

05:43working in Dubai?

05:45It's a different experience.

05:47It's a different world.

05:49It's like I'm in a

05:51playground

05:53but it's a difficult maze.

05:55Because you don't know.

05:57You meet the right people.

05:59You meet the amazing people in other countries.

06:01And you bring them to the Philippines.

06:03Knowing that you want to bring businesses to the Philippines.

06:05It's like you're building

06:07the future of the Philippines in other countries.

06:09So I'm happy about that.

06:11Okay, while you're a businessman

06:13and a pilot, how do you manage

06:15to give your children time?

06:17You're a mother of two.

06:19You have a college, right?

06:21Life is unfair.

06:23It's annoying.

06:25But you give birth publicly.

06:27At 16?

06:29At 16, I gave birth.

06:31I'm a teenage mom.

06:33For me,

06:35I always tell them

06:37being a teenage mom is not a hurdle.

06:39You have to fulfill all your dreams.

06:41For me, it's quality time.

06:43Because

06:45you can be with your child everyday

06:47but you don't spend quality time with them.

06:49For me, it doesn't matter

06:51even if you're physically there.

06:53Even if I'm not physically there everyday,

06:55but when I'm there,

06:57I make them feel that I love them.

06:59And they feel loved and blessed

07:01at the end of the day.

07:03Where does she get the drive

07:05and motivation to fight?

07:07It's painful.

07:09Maybe it's just the last chance.

07:11Although we want more.

07:13Do you have a message

07:15to women who have dreams

07:17in life and want to try

07:19but are hesitant?

07:21What's your message of inspiration?

07:23Don't be afraid.

07:25Don't be afraid of anything you do.

07:27Because

07:29if you remember,

07:31don't go back and say,

07:33I wish I did this.

07:35There's no better time than now.

07:39If you don't try,

07:41you won't know.

07:43Don't be afraid of failure.

07:45Failure is part of your success.

07:47If you don't fail,

07:49it means you didn't try many times.

07:51You love your job,

07:53and when you're loving,

07:55you also hate, you also fail.

07:57Chesca is so inspiring.

07:59I want to try things

08:01that I haven't tried yet.

08:03You can do a morning show here,

08:05and you can pilot a plane.

08:07You can land by 4pm.

08:11Thank you, Chesca.

08:13We hope to have you here again.

08:15Thank you, Chesca Gonzalez.

08:17Your journey reminds us that

08:19with your passion, resilience, and hard work,

08:21anything is possible.
