00:56That was Victor, ladies and gentlemen, SOP's little drummer boy.
01:09Twice rejected, too small for Aikido, and has quite short fingers.
01:13That's why he can't play the guitar.
01:15But he turned out to be a wonder, wonderful man for the drums.
01:20Wonderful little man.
01:22Anyway, tonight will be a very interesting and promising episode
01:25because we have with us the emerging names of today's young generation
01:29to join us here on The Sweet Life.
01:31So, promise, does that mean these are the new breed of talent?
01:35Yes, this is what they always say that we should look forward to
01:40because in the future, they have nowhere to go but shine.
01:44I like that, too.
01:45This is the cream of the crop.
01:48This is what we call the young and the promising.
01:52And here is our first batch of guests from the Performing Arts and Sports.
01:58His brother used to be his sparring partner, but she made a 360-degree kick
02:03and went on to win a gold medal in the 2005 SEA Games
02:07and a silver in the 2006 Asian Games.
02:09Please welcome on the show, Antoinette Rivero.
02:31Can you do those kicks?
02:36Another Lisa Makuha in the making.
02:38She is a Shanghai Manila Company's apprentice
02:40and is set to compete in Shanghai Ballet Competition.
02:43Bea Castaneda.
03:09And here is our first batch of guests from the Performing Arts and Sports.
03:13This is what we call the young and the promising.
03:16And here is our first batch of guests from the Performing Arts and Sports.
03:20They are the current cream of the freshest crop.
03:23They are the brightest protégées.
03:25They are young and promising.
03:27The Sweet Life will be right back.
03:39Every day's a new beginning.
03:41The Sweet Life.
03:42Every night starts something brand new, blazing bright.
03:50The Sweet Life.
03:51Every day's a new beginning.
03:53The Sweet Life.
03:59They say Filipinos are born with natural talent.
04:03But at what age do you know that you are a cut above the rest?
04:07Me?
04:08When I was young, I already knew that I was on a different level.
04:13You already knew?
04:14Yes.
04:15At what age did you know that you were beautiful?
04:17I just started thinking about it.
04:19So it was only last year.
04:23I just started thinking that I was beautiful.
04:25That I was unique.
04:26That I was endangered.
04:28So that's it.
04:29Endangered?
04:30Yes.
04:31Let's get the answers from our guests.
04:33How did you know?
04:34When did you know?
04:35I was talking to your mom backstage.
04:37And she said that you started at four years old.
04:41And you were the aspiring partner of your brother.
04:44Who started at nine.
04:48Before, I used to watch them in training.
04:51I would just sit there.
04:52If the training was for three hours, I would just sit there.
04:56You were really interested?
04:57Yes.
04:58Before you joined that sport, did you practice in the bathroom?
05:05Did you copy what your brother was doing?
05:07At home, we were already playing.
05:09And my mom saw that I wasn't even starting my lessons formally.
05:13I was already doing my best.
05:15So I joined the kit first.
05:17After a while, I joined.
05:19When I could do it.
05:20Because I was still too young at four.
05:22I have to be five to join.
05:25Why?
05:26Because they have this age limit.
05:28You cannot be younger than five.
05:30Because the attention span of a child is short.
05:34Short.
05:35But in your case, it's not true.
05:37Your attention span is not short.
05:39Because he's watching for three hours.
05:41Victor has a funny story.
05:43Why?
05:44Snow White, our makeup artist, put on pink eyeshadow.
05:48She approached him and she said,
05:50She put on pink eyeshadow.
05:52She thought it was a girl.
05:54I don't believe it. I'm a boy.
05:56She thought it was a girl.
05:58That's why she put on pink eyeshadow.
06:02Because she thought it was a girl.
06:04She doesn't believe it.
06:06She said, I'm a boy.
06:08No, you're a girl.
06:10Snow White, you're so stupid.
06:12Because her hair is so long.
06:14Snow White must have said,
06:16She must be a girl.
06:17Yes.
06:18And Victor is so cute.
06:20How did you discover?
06:22It's a birthday celebration.
06:24It's a birthday celebration of the Ines Generation.
06:27I met Aunt Jilly Nuenyo.
06:30She became my manager.
06:33She played me on Miss D's birthday.
06:36Miss D?
06:38Miss Darling?
06:40Don't call me Darling, Darling.
06:41Darling Jesus.
06:43After that, I played her on SOP.
06:45Really?
06:46Yes.
06:47But how did you...
06:48Who entered you on Ines's birthday?
06:51Is he your relative?
06:53The son of Director Cesar Cosme.
06:56I met him at a bar.
06:58You play at a bar?
07:00Yes.
07:01How old are you?
07:02Twelve.
07:03How did you get to the bar?
07:04That's why you're not growing up.
07:06How did you get to the bar?
07:08I know.
07:10Do you know the owner of the bar?
07:12No.
07:14Do you sleep at the bar?
07:16I'm with my parents.
07:18What?
07:19I'm with my parents.
07:21So, you're jamming?
07:22Yes.
07:23Where did you learn to play the drums?
07:26You said you rejected playing the guitar.
07:29So, you started with the guitar.
07:30Is that what you wanted to learn?
07:32Yes.
07:33How did you get to the drums?
07:35I rejected playing the guitar and Aikido.
07:39Why did you reject playing Aikido?
07:41You have short legs.
07:43I'm not that short.
07:45I'm seven years old.
07:47I'm five years old.
07:48You're also five years old.
07:50They said you're too short.
07:53Yes.
07:54So, you started with the guitar.
07:55Your fingers are too short.
07:57My fingers are too short.
07:59Is that what you call it?
08:00Are your fingers too short for playing the guitar?
08:03Yes.
08:04Sometimes, I can't reach the other chords.
08:07Yes.
08:08She's from Cavite.
08:10She's from my hometown.
08:11Look at her.
08:12She's really good.
08:13It's in the blood.
08:14Cavite.
08:15It must be the water.
08:17Or the tapong.
08:19So, tell us how you got to the drums.
08:23We went out to the music store.
08:26I think my teacher got mad at me.
08:29She called me and said she wanted to learn the drums.
08:32She taught me how to play the drums.
08:34I was able to play it well.
08:37Was that your first time learning the drums?
08:39Yes.
08:40But you saw potential in it.
08:42Yes.
08:43Okay.
08:44This is Bea.
08:46She's a ballerina.
08:48I'm a ballerina.
08:50She got jealous of her classmate.
08:52That's why she went to Bali.
08:53Yes.
08:54Because as a little girl,
08:56I would always watch the Olympics.
08:59Winter Olympics.
09:00Okay.
09:01There were people figure skating.
09:03I love that also.
09:04Figure skating.
09:05Gymnastics.
09:06It was always on television.
09:08One time, during school assembly,
09:11my classmate did a split.
09:13I couldn't do that.
09:14Okay.
09:15I was just jealous.
09:16I asked her how she could do something like that.
09:19She said she was taking ballet classes.
09:21I decided to take ballet classes too.
09:24You just started because you wanted to do a split.
09:27Then, yes.
09:29You turned out to be so good at what you do
09:31that you're actually competing.
09:33Hopefully.
09:35You're training for that.
09:36Yes.
09:37Are you preparing for any competition?
09:39When I saw her earlier,
09:40I was like, where did I see her?
09:41Why does she look familiar?
09:42I always see her on TV
09:44when there are sea games.
09:46Oh, so it's you.
09:48She's always featured on TV.
09:52That's great.
09:53We're preparing for this coming sea game in Thailand
09:56and the qualifiers for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
10:00So as of now, you're already prepared for 2008?
10:02Yes, because they have these two qualifiers.
10:05You can play if you don't qualify there.
10:08So you have two major competitions coming up
10:11before you qualify for 2008.
10:14Yes.
10:15Wow.
10:16Do you train every day?
10:17Yes, every day.
10:18For how many hours?
10:19One in the morning and one in the evening.
10:21It's both three hours.
10:24So six hours a day.
10:26Wow.
10:28That's why Dora is so cute.
10:30This place is amazing.
10:32What's your greatest dream for all three of you?
10:35My greatest dream is to dance Grand Pas de Deux.
10:40I know that one.
10:41Yes, it's a dance between a girl and a boy.
10:44Just the two of them.
10:45Is that a classic dance?
10:47Yes, it's in classical ballet.
10:49And then my dream is to do everything perfectly
10:52and for the audience.
10:54A flawless performance.
10:55That's what you're aiming for.
10:56And then for the audience to feel
10:59whatever emotions that I want to.
11:02Is it a love story between a guy and a girl?
11:05Not necessarily, but there are some that are.
11:07But you always dance with a partner.
11:09It's not a solo performance.
11:11You don't like Swan Lake?
11:12That's hard.
11:13Yes, it's hard.
11:14But that's also a beautiful dance.
11:16How old are you, Bea?
11:1716.
11:18You're so young.
11:19You can do whatever you want to do.
11:21It's nice to be that age.
11:22And you, Victor?
11:23What's your dream?
11:24Now that you know how to play drums,
11:26what's next for you?
11:29I want to be famous in the whole world
11:32as a good drummer.
11:34A good drummer boy.
11:36A musician.
11:37A musician.
11:38So you still have a dream to graduate from drums
11:41into something else, like maybe piano?
11:43Sorry, I'm still learning how to play guitar.
11:46Why don't you continue?
11:48Maybe your fingers are getting longer.
11:49I'm learning how to play guitar now.
11:51Okay, it will get longer when the time comes.
11:54Not yet, but I'm sure one day.
11:57What about you, Antoinette?
11:59What's your greatest dream?
12:00The gold medal in the Olympics.
12:03But you already did.
12:04You already joined the Olympics.
12:06What was it like?
12:07That experience?
12:08It was the best.
12:09Because you're just eating lunch.
12:11You could sit beside Yao Ming
12:13or some popular athlete.
12:16Did you have pictures taken with them?
12:18They're okay with picture taking.
12:20No.
12:21They're a bit shy.
12:22Sometimes it's okay.
12:23Who was the nicest you met?
12:26Thorpe?
12:27Ian Thorpe.
12:28Who's that?
12:29He's a swimmer.
12:31You can be a star there.
12:32Sports is a different world.
12:34There are lots of celebrities.
12:37Okay, thank you guys for being here.
12:40Next, we'll get to know more young and promising individuals.
12:44Plus, Megan Young will get a new look.
12:56I see the sweet light
12:59Every day's a new beginning
13:01Roses, chocolates, perfume, and jewelry
13:04are the things that usually come out of our mind
13:06when we think of presents.
13:08But if you want to be unique,
13:09there are new things that can replace the gifts we're used to.
13:14MiniDolls is one of the most promising businesses
13:17that will attract consumers in the near future.
13:21The idea of MiniDolls started from our two bosses.
13:24They thought of ideas for gifts
13:26and then they went to MiniDolls.
13:28They thought, why not customize a doll
13:30so that when you give a gift,
13:33it really looks like the doll you're going to make.
13:35It can be done on all occasions.
13:37In the first year of MiniMe,
13:41it was supposed to be done in 30 days or one month.
13:45But now, we have a lot.
13:47Maybe 20 days.
13:48If you're going to order a MiniMe,
13:50bring pictures, front view, and side view.
13:53It should be clear.
13:55The clay we're using is imported.
13:57It's from Taiwan.
13:58For the head, we're just going to look at the pictures.
14:02It's better if there's a front view or a side view
14:04so that we can see the side view,
14:06how round the face is.
14:08Then they'll start molding the clay.
14:10They'll start with the opening of the eyes, nose, and lips.
14:15And then after that,
14:16the eyes will be white.
14:20The foundation will be the eyeball of the eyes,
14:22and the lips will be the teeth.
14:24Next, we'll move on to the details.
14:27They'll add the eyebrows,
14:29the eyes, the eyeball, and the hair.
14:32And then after that, the body.
14:35Once we're done with all of that,
14:37we'll check if it's done.
14:39Before we attach the head to the body,
14:41we'll go through the finishing touches.
14:43If we need to paint other parts of the accessories or clothes,
14:48and the sanding,
14:49because it's important to clean the doll.
14:52Then after that,
14:53we'll check if it's ready to be ovened.
14:56Because it needs to be ovened
14:58so that the clay will be hard
15:00before we add the details.
15:02Just like these mini dolls,
15:05if it doesn't have accessories like patches or pulleys,
15:09it ranges from Php 1,900 to Php 50,000.
15:12Then if we need to add accessories,
15:14there are additional prices from Php 200 each.
15:18This one is around Php 2,500
15:21because it has accessories.
15:23Like this one, it's around Php 2,000
15:26because it has an accessory ball
15:30and it has logos of shoes and shirts.
15:34This one is made of resin, so it's kind of minus.
15:37If it's a couple, like this one,
15:39the price of one is the same as the price of the other.
15:43It depends on how many accessories it has.
15:46We'll just give it a plus.
15:48So for those who are looking for a beautiful gift,
15:52go to Mega Mall and ask for Mini Me.
15:58We are very pleased to have with us
16:00Baguio's Outstanding Haute Couturier
16:02and named Designer of the Year for Brides in Dubai for 2002,
16:05Eros Goze.
16:07Thank you for being here.
16:09And we'd like to call in Ms. Megan Young.
16:14Wow, Megan.
16:20This kid is beautiful.
16:22And the clothes are beautiful.
16:24Wow.
16:26Eros.
16:27Yeah.
16:28This is your design.
16:29Was this your winning piece?
16:31It was one of the clothes I brought out before.
16:33Okay.
16:34But I made some revisions
16:36because that's for bridal show.
16:38Yeah.
16:39But this one is made of denim.
16:41It's hand-painted.
16:42And it's not one piece?
16:44No.
16:45I love mix-matching.
16:46Okay.
16:47So you could wear it separately.
16:50So the top is a corset type?
16:52Yeah, it's a corset type.
16:53It's beautiful.
16:54It's glamorous.
16:55It's going to look so nice also with white pants.
16:58Yes, that's true.
16:59The white top, right?
17:00And then you just added the bolero.
17:04Yeah, the shrug type.
17:05It's really, really nice.
17:07And Megan, you know,
17:08Megan should dress that way more often.
17:10She's so beautiful.
17:11I've seen her before.
17:13But she doesn't dress like that, right?
17:16So Megan, starting today,
17:17you should dress like that more often.
17:19Heavy makeup.
17:20And your outfit should always be like that.
17:22Whatever you do,
17:23even if you're crying on TV,
17:24that's how you should dress.
17:26Actually, she was so simple when she came in.
17:29Yeah, I saw her.
17:30She was just in jeans.
17:31A shirt.
17:32A white shirt.
17:33Yeah.
17:34And then she was transformed.
17:35What's her…
17:36So this is the new look?
17:37This is the look that you feel really suits Megan?
17:39Yeah.
17:40Glam rock.
17:41And young.
17:42Okay.
17:43So Megan, you might be tired.
17:44Come join us.
17:45Come join us here.
17:46How old are you?
17:47You're so beautiful, Megan.
17:50How old are you?
17:5217.
17:5317.
17:54And you've never dressed up this way?
17:55Not this way.
17:57Not that way.
17:58But is it a dream to become a model?
18:00Yeah, really.
18:01It's my biggest dream ever.
18:03What's your mix?
18:04Because you're not purely Filipino.
18:06No, I'm half American.
18:07Half American.
18:09I'm gonna make Megan cry.
18:11Why?
18:12You're making her cry?
18:13It's a starstruck look.
18:14Oh my God.
18:18Megan, what are your dreams?
18:20My first dream, it started when I wanted to be a model.
18:24So you really started wanting to become a model?
18:26Yeah, I really started wanting to be a model.
18:28And I started watching rendering shows, like on the livestock.
18:31Because they show it there.
18:33So I kind of imitate it at home.
18:35Then I walk in front of the mirror.
18:37But you know, it's possible.
18:39Because of the build, the physique, the face.
18:41And the length of the legs.
18:42Actually, if she doesn't have makeup, she's just blank.
18:45So that should be the number one characteristic of a model.
18:48Amazing what makeup can do.
18:50It makes you look more grown up than you're 17 years.
18:53Especially the eyes, because it's smoky.
18:55Yeah, because it's smoky.
18:56The eyes are a bit expressive.
18:58Who did you do your makeup on?
19:00It was J-Row.
19:01Jeff Robbins.
19:02Jeff.
19:03He's really good at doing makeup.
19:06He's really good at it.
19:09I love what you did to her corset.
19:11I wish the camera could take a shot of this.
19:14It's denim, but it's embellished.
19:16And then there's a cameo.
19:17Yes, it's a cameo.
19:18It's like a romantic thing.
19:20This one are just appliques.
19:22So there's lace and organza.
19:26And different fabrics put on it.
19:28Eros, where are you based?
19:29Are you based in Baguio?
19:30Actually, I'm based in Baguio right now.
19:32And I have my shop there.
19:33Okay, maybe you can give your address
19:35for those who want to have clothes made.
19:39I like to invite everybody to my shop in Baguio City.
19:42It's located at 107 Session Theater Building in Baguio City.
19:46A phone number that they can call?
19:480921-723-7233.
19:52Oh, that's easy.
19:53721-7233?
19:547233.
19:56You're so good.
19:58What can you...
19:59Because you're a model and Megan wants to be a model.
20:02What tips can you give her?
20:04I don't want to.
20:05I don't want to lose my career.
20:06You don't want to?
20:08I don't want to.
20:09It's up to her.
20:10I'm still young.
20:11I'm old.
20:13Okay, fine.
20:14No, I don't want to.
20:16You're good.
20:17All the raw materials are there.
20:18Yeah.
20:19Just be yourself.
20:21And there's a difference.
20:23You just lack exposure.
20:25And you also lack confidence.
20:26Because the exposure will give you the confidence.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Are you shy, Megan?
20:30I'm a shy type.
20:32Do you find modeling harder than acting?
20:36Or acting is harder, I would think.
20:37Acting is probably harder because there are different emotions.
20:40Usually, when it comes to modeling, it's about the emotions.
20:43There are different emotions.
20:44Yeah.
20:45It also depends on the designer's team.
20:48Your outfit now, is it something you would wear again?
20:51Maybe the corset.
20:52You won't wear the whole thing?
20:54No, because it's really for fashion.
20:57High fashion.
20:58It's really for spreading.
21:00So, maybe the corset, I would wear it with jeans to go out.
21:03Yeah.
21:04The skirt is nice.
21:05Yeah, the skirt.
21:06You know what?
21:07You should ask for it.
21:08She already gave it to me.
21:10I'm so happy, Eros.
21:12You're amazing.
21:14You're good, Eros.
21:15You're very, very talented.
21:16It's nice to see so much local talent.
21:18Thank you for being with us, Megan.
21:20Do you have anything to promote?
21:22I hope you'll watch Asian Treasures Monday to Friday after 24 hours.
21:26Asian Treasures.
21:27Monday to Friday.
21:28Thank you, Eros.
21:29Thank you, Eros.
21:30Thank you, Megan.
21:31Thank you very much.
21:32You're a star.
21:33Shine brighter.
21:34I hope so.
21:36They're good.

22:38So stay on guard for your favorite sequel so as not to miss your hero's exploits.
22:51Are they out to equal or overshadow their celebrity parents' achievements?
22:56Or maybe they just want to experience what their parents went through.
23:01Let's get their answers straight.
23:04With us tonight are some of the celebrity kids regarded as showbiz next big star.
23:09Please welcome on the show, Ina Estrada.
23:16And Ina Asisto.
23:18Hello po.
23:24Here, Ina Asisto is the daughter of Nadia Montenegro and Ina is of course the daughter
23:29of John and Janice.
23:32Was it ever a dream to follow in the footsteps of your mom, Ina Estrada?
23:40Yeah, because when I was small, when I was a kid pa, I watched my mom sometimes.
23:47I see her on TV.
23:49Okay.
23:50What was the first show na naabutan mo?
23:52Kasi naabutan ko sa mama mo, Flor de Luna.
23:55Yan na nga.
23:56Yan na nga.
23:57So ano yung naabutan?
23:58I'm not sure.
23:59Basta nakita ka lang sa TV.
24:01But nung time nun, I think I was a baby pa.
24:05But whenever I see her on TV, umiiyak talaga ako.
24:09Pag inaapi sya?
24:10I don't know why.
24:12Basta sinasabi lang sa akin ng mommy ko na every time I see her on TV, umiiyak talaga
24:17ako.
24:18So, linya tuloy.
24:19Ina, dahil dyan, meron ka bang na-memorize na famous line ng parents mo?
24:27My mom lang.
24:28Yun.
24:29Oo, ano?
24:30Ano ba?
24:31I think it was her see-through days.
24:33Hindi pa yun eye to eye.
24:35See-through.
24:36Alam mo.
24:37Yes.
24:38Go.
24:39Late in diabetes day.
24:40She was interviewed kasi she was pregnant with my kuya.
24:43With Egy.
24:44Yeah.
24:45And then, tinanong siya about yun.
24:48Tapos sabi niya, God was with us.
24:52When we did it.
24:53Yeah.
24:56Yun lang yung naalala ko talaga.
24:58Naalala mo talaga yun?
24:59Yeah.
25:00Siguro kahit saan ka magpunta yun talaga sinasabi.
25:03But your mom kasi is really known for her quote upon quotes.
25:06She has a lot of that.
25:07Yeah, she has a lot of quotes talaga.
25:09Whenever she's interviewing on her show, diba?
25:13So when she has guests that are stars, she gives them quotes sometimes.
25:20Yes.
25:21Pag mihingi sila ng advice.
25:22Oo nga.
25:23Because si Janice is a very wide reader.
25:25Kaya ang dami niyang nahuhugutan ng...
25:27Yung kaibigan ko yun.
25:28Oo nga.
25:29Tapos, ang sarap nun magluto.
25:31Ay, talaga.
25:32Sarap ng cookies niya.
25:33Yeah.
25:34Eh, si...
25:35Ina.
25:36Ina din.
25:37Hindi talaga tayo lalilito.
25:39Ako po talaga ang dream ko maging singer.
25:41Pero parang nagkaroon po ko ng chance na maging actress.
25:47So, yun.
25:48Pinaso ko na rin po.
25:49Parang stepping stone mo na rin.
25:50Alam mo sa sobrang hilig niyang kumanta.
25:52Pag may mga gathering.
25:53May mga gathering sa bahay.
25:55Para siyang desuse.
25:56Oo Ina.
25:57Tayo ka dito.
25:58Kanta ka.
25:59Right away kakanta siya.
26:00Sige nga.
26:01Try ko nga.
26:02Ina, kanta ka nga.
26:03Ano pong song?
26:04Oo.
26:05Ano song?
26:06Parang limang peso lang.
26:07Ako na lang.
26:08Kahit ano.
26:09Sige.
26:10For all of my life, you are the one.
26:16I will love you faithfully forever.
26:22All of my life, you are the one.
26:28I give to you my greatest love.
26:32For all of my life.
26:34Congratulations!
26:39What did you learn from your mom?
26:42Did Nadia sing?
26:44Yes, and my dad too.
26:46Oh, your dad too.
26:48It pays to have parents who have beautiful voices.
26:50I'm sure she has gestures that are very similar to yours.
26:54She imitates her mom.
26:56You, Ina.
26:58Are you saying that you do things like your mom?
27:03We both like to bite nails.
27:07We also use our cellphones a lot.
27:10We use our cellphones a lot.
27:13Do you know that Nadia is also like that?
27:15She laughs a lot.
27:16Yes, even when she smiles.
27:18Nadia is instant-smiling.
27:20You, Ina.
27:21What did they say that you inherited from your mom?
27:24I like books.
27:27Like my mom.
27:28I read a lot of books.
27:30Whenever we go to a mall, she buys books.
27:35That's my habit.
27:38You read the books that she buys?
27:41What was the last book you read?
27:43Last book?
27:44Romance?
27:46Anything.
27:47Even the suspense novels that she likes.
27:51The ones that she likes are the books of James Patterson.
27:57I read some of the books too.
28:00Tonight, we are also joined by one of the most promising
28:03teenage heartthrob, star-struck,
28:05batch for the next level avenger, Paolo Avellino.
28:17Hi, Paolo.
28:18Thank you for being on the show.
28:21Compared to Ina and Ina,
28:24who both are in showbiz by way of being kids of showbiz parents,
28:30you had to take the harder route.
28:32You had to join a contest.
28:35You joined star-struck.
28:37Did you have a hard time?
28:39At first, I had a hard time because of the puya.
28:42You're not used to it?
28:44A little.
28:45Because it's everyday.
28:47It's like you're in a camp, right?
28:49Yes.
28:50They make you do so many things.
28:53Did you hide the decision from your parents?
28:55Or from the start, they supported you?
28:57At the start, before I went in modeling,
29:01I modeled first before I joined this.
29:05At first, of course, parents.
29:08Studies first.
29:09What school are you from?
29:12SLU Baguio.
29:14You're from Baguio?
29:16Yes.
29:17How did that happen?
29:18Did you leave Manila just to audition?
29:20Yes.
29:21I heard you left.
29:22Just to fulfill your dream.
29:24That's great.
29:25You did research.
29:26Yes.
29:27I'm different from handsome guys.
29:29For the day.
29:30For the night.
29:31You're Wilma's man.
29:32How did that happen?
29:33How did that happen?
29:34At that time, I already had an offer for modeling here in Manila for Prince MTV.
29:42So you left for a modeling job.
29:46You didn't leave.
29:48It was like that.
29:49When did you audition for Starstruck?
29:52After Starstruck.
29:54Ah, okay.
29:56I went here without my parents' knowledge.
30:00They found me and I joined Starstruck.
30:04They fully supported me.
30:06What did you enjoy most in Starstruck?
30:08In Starstruck...
30:09Which part?
30:10The singing, the dancing, the acting?
30:12Maybe the acting thing.
30:14Because...
30:16You really want to be an actor?
30:17Because it feels good when you're doing a different role.
30:20You're being a different character.
30:22Really?
30:23So you have a dream role.
30:24What's your dream role?
30:26My dream role?
30:28Maybe...
30:30Romantic drama flick?
30:32Something like that.
30:33Okay, the lead is a romantic.
30:35You're Ena.
30:37Not drama.
30:39Um...
30:40Romance comedy?
30:42You want something light.
30:43Yeah.
30:44You don't like acting?
30:46Like Floor De Luna?
30:48You don't like being slapped?
30:50You get slapped like that.
30:52Wow, I'll try.
30:53Okay, that too.
30:55Huh?
30:56That too.
30:57But um...
30:59It's hard for me to cry on TV.
31:02Yeah.
31:03That's why I give hats off to all the actresses.
31:06It's hard to cry.
31:08You know it's not real.
31:10It's really hard.
31:12It's really hard.
31:13It's true that they cry.
31:14It's not motivation.
31:16It's a different level.
31:17It's not a real situation.
31:18But you're crying.
31:19I really can't do it.
31:20Don't look at me.
31:21I can't do it either.
31:23You, Ena.
31:24What's yours?
31:25Same as Ena.
31:26I don't like the soap.
31:27But of course.
31:28You're just saying that.
31:30Because...
31:31But I do that.
31:32Yeah.
31:33Because you haven't tried being serious.
31:35You can't be partners.
31:36Because he wants to be serious.
31:39If he's a partner, I'll be serious.
31:42Smile.
31:43If you know...
31:44Pink cheeks.
31:45Mothers.
31:46Kids.
31:47Wait a minute.
31:48Given a chance.
31:49Do you have a dream role?
31:50No.
31:51Because I really know that I don't want to be an actress.
31:54Not because I don't like them.
31:57In fact, I really like movies.
31:59Of course.
32:00Obviously.
32:01I have a cutting class just to watch movies.
32:04That's why...
32:05No.
32:06Did you watch Tuklaw?
32:08I watched all of Richard's movies.
32:11She watched Tuklaw.
32:12Especially the one with Don.
32:15Yes.
32:16Really?
32:17You're not hurt.
32:18No.
32:19I'm a fan of Don Richard.
32:23Because of that, we will be back with more Stay With Us.
33:01When the project started, it's been a long time.
33:04Historically, Pasig River was the backbone of trade and commerce and transportation
33:12on various parts of Metro Manila from the Spanish era and pre-colonial era.
33:17The present Pasig River Ferry System was inaugurated by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on February 14, 2007.
33:26But the initiatives towards using Pasig River as a passenger ferry water road began as far back as Marcos era.
33:36And with the rate it is going, the river ferry is deemed as an important and promising mode of transportation.
33:46Our target market is the general public.
33:48Those who want a faster way of getting from all ports or all points of Metro Manila.
33:56Right now, we are operating on 25 pesos.
33:59That's 20 pesos for the ferry boat and 5 pesos for the stations.
34:04We have about 12 of this size.
34:07We'll probably have to come up with smaller, 75 passenger.
34:11What is the operating hours?
34:12I think the first trip leaves Guadalupe at 5 in the morning.
34:18And then the last trip leaves at about 9.30.
34:22How many times do you travel every day?
34:24For me, it's just my duty.
34:26This is a two-ship.
34:27For me, it's a maximum of 5 times.
34:32Continuously.
34:34Sometimes, it's a 5-minute stand-by.
34:37Like Guadalupe, Spolta.
34:40What are the stations that you visit?
34:42When you come from Spolta, the first station you'll visit is Santa Ana.
34:49Then, Hulu.
34:51Then, Guadalupe.
34:53But we'll open the latest one, P.O.P. in Poresa.
34:59Is this your first time here?
35:00First time.
35:01Actually, I want to experience it.
35:03To see the whole passing that goes through here.
35:06So I can see the places that I've been through.
35:09It's heart-warming.
35:10And this ferry is beautiful.
35:14Whether for sentimental reasons or convenience,
35:16the river ferry will certainly bring you to your destination
35:19with an admiration of the river that was once Manila's cradle of civilization.
35:27Okay, we are still here with Ina, Ina, and Paolo.
35:30Let's ask them.
35:31What do you do to be better than your parents?
35:34For the two girls.
35:37What should I say?
35:39Better.
35:40For me,
35:41You sing better?
35:42Yes.
35:43No.
35:44No? What?
35:47I work harder than my mom.
35:49You work harder?
35:51Why did you say that?
35:52Because she always makes me rest.
35:55Of course, she's always tired.
35:56So, she sleeps a lot.
35:58I'm laughing at you.
35:59What do you mean she always makes you rest?
36:03Why is she always tired?
36:05Because there are so many of you.
36:07Especially at home, there are more than 20 of us.
36:11So, it's hard.
36:12Sometimes, she cooks.
36:13There are more than 20 of you at home.
36:15That's really tiring.
36:17But she's always happy.
36:19Does she cook for all 20 of you?
36:21Especially when there's an occasion.
36:23She used to cater, so she does everything.
36:26Yes, she used to cater.
36:28That's right.
36:29What about you, Ina?
36:31What do you do better than your mom?
36:34I'm good.
36:35Is there anything?
36:37Dancing?
36:39You're right.
36:40You're right.
36:41No.
36:46Dancing.
36:47Is that right?
36:49Yes, dancing.
36:50Yes, dancing.
36:51But whenever we do stuff, it's equal.
36:55There's no smooth side.
36:57We do it the same.
36:59As in, it's equal.
37:02But for all siblings,
37:04this is the showbiz you'll see.
37:06I'll do showbiz.
37:07Because the other two aren't yet.
37:09We don't know.
37:10How about you, Juan?
37:11I can do showbiz.
37:12Let's ask Paolo.
37:14Who's your idol?
37:16No, let's start with the idol.
37:18The idol in showbiz.
37:19Idol.
37:21Who's your idol in showbiz?
37:24Do you want to imitate him?
37:27Who?
37:30Maybe...
37:36Richard Gutierrez.
37:37Richard Gutierrez.
37:38I thought it was Richard Gomez.
37:40Really?
37:41Because his career is really...
37:45Yeah, it's really blooming, his career.
37:47What about a dream partner?
37:50Dream partner.
37:51Will Madacid.
37:52How are you?
37:53Are you okay?
37:55Dream partner.
37:58Maybe Cindy Corletto.
38:00Cindy Corletto.
38:02Okay.
38:03Why Cindy?
38:05Because she's hot.
38:07Yes, she's very hot.
38:09Very hot.
38:10Wait.
38:11Just in case you get an award,
38:13title, or recognition,
38:14what do you want?
38:15You.
38:16Oscars?
38:19Ina.
38:20Is that a dream?
38:21Or that's far from your thoughts now?
38:24Best actress in a supporting role.
38:27Why not in a lead role?
38:31Just supporting.
38:33Supporting first.
38:34Yeah.
38:35So that if I have that award,
38:38I can do better.
38:40And you've learned to do better.
38:42So you want to be like a character actress, right?
38:45Do you want to be a character actress
38:47or just a lead role?
38:50Character actress.
38:51Character actress.
38:52Character actress.
38:53You?
38:54I don't want to be like that.
38:57But if ever there's a chance to be like that,
39:01I'm okay with anything.
39:03The Lord is on my side.
39:05The Lord is on your side.
39:07What do you look forward to in showbiz, Paolo?
39:10In showbiz?
39:12I'm sure you're so new,
39:13but everything's rosy.
39:15Everything's fun.
39:18Maybe I'm looking forward to
39:20someday, if not now,
39:22a few years later,
39:24I could have my own soap
39:26or I could have a big role.
39:29Yeah.
39:30Because a soap always runs long.
39:32Or a sitcom always runs long.
39:34Yeah, sitcom.
39:35So Paolo, do you think it's easier
39:37to make a name for yourself
39:39if your parents are also actors?
39:41Does it matter?
39:42I think it's easier because
39:44first of all, connections.
39:46And if you're not born yet,
39:47you already have a name.
39:49But the pressure is also greater.
39:51Yes, because if you compare,
39:53they're going to expect more from you.
39:55You two, aren't you afraid
39:57to compare yourself to your parents?
39:59Because, of course,
40:01Janice de Belen is from Monteregro.
40:03Not really.
40:07But I don't want to be known
40:09just as the daughter.
40:11I want to make a name of my own
40:14and not just be labeled as
40:16Janice de Belen's daughter,
40:17Janice Juarez's daughter.
40:19What does your dad say?
40:21Your dad is a very good actor also.
40:23Yeah.
40:24And then, your mom's a very good actress.
40:26Do they give you tips?
40:27Are they critical when they watch you?
40:31My dad, not really.
40:33Because in the first place,
40:35he really doesn't like it.
40:36He really doesn't like it.
40:38We had a show before.
40:40My dad also doesn't like it.
40:42Yeah, he really doesn't like it.
40:44The one where you two were with Win-Win.
40:46Yeah.
40:47And then, when I auditioned,
40:49when they asked me if I could audition,
40:52I asked my dad.
40:53He really doesn't like it.
40:54So I forced him.
40:56Because you really wanted it.
40:57I really wanted it.
40:58And I wanted to experience it then.
41:00So when I really, really, really, really
41:04tried to make him say yes,
41:06he said yes already.
41:07Because he wanted me to experience it already.
41:10And when you experienced it,
41:12there's no turning back anymore.
41:13You really, really want this life.
41:15Yeah.
41:16What about school?
41:17School?
41:20For now, it's taking a backseat.
41:24Not really.
41:25I try my best to balance it.
41:30So you're still in school?
41:31Yeah.
41:32So what's your priority?
41:33Showbiz or school?
41:34School.
41:35That's good.
41:36I'm nervous.
41:37All of you?
41:38School.
41:39School.
41:40What about you, Paolo?
41:41I stopped.
41:42You stopped to go full blast?
41:44What's your ultimate dream in showbiz?
41:48Your dream,
41:49this is your goal for this month.
41:51To be successful in anything that I do.
41:55Okay.
41:56And how long do you see yourself in showbiz?
42:02Because most of our great stars now
42:04started really, really young.
42:06Like Vilma,
42:08Lorna,
42:09Snooki,
42:10Sharon.
42:11They all started when they were young.
42:13Really?
42:14Yes.

42:16some even younger,
42:17plus Snooki.
42:18Yeah.
42:19I'm not that long.
42:20Not that long?
42:21Not that long.
42:22Wait a minute.
42:23How far will you go?

42:29we'll just give our best.
42:32We'll show what we can do.
