06:16 What is superstardom?
06:17 What is stardom?
06:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:20 It is longevity.
06:22 You know, because you can make it really big in the business,
06:25 but stay for two years.
06:26 But it's different [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:30 You started at 13.
06:31 You're still here, active, singing, dancing,
06:34 doing concerts.
06:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:38 Aside from talent, why do you think you stayed
06:41 this long in the business?
06:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:57 I have very, very fond memories of Geneva Cruz.
07:02 You were just so talented.
07:05 I didn't want to use the word "if."
07:06 You were just so talented as a young girl.
07:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:25 OK.
08:26 I didn't know this.
08:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:28 I am nothing without our National Artist for Music.
08:32 I am nothing without Ryan Kayabiab.
08:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

09:42 of all the experiences that you went through.
09:44 And thank you for saying, thank you for saying,
09:47 do not even acknowledge what people say.
09:49 I love what Michelle Yeoh said in that speech.
09:51 Never allow anybody to tell you that you are past your prime.
09:57 Another way of saying that is do not ever allow anybody to say
10:00 that you're outdated or you're irrelevant.
10:03 Nobody has a right to say that.
10:04 >> Precisely.
10:05 >> I'm just so proud of you.
10:07 >> So inspired.
10:09 Thank you.
10:10 >> It's so inspiring.
10:11 And we'll talk more about it.

12:47 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
12:50 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
12:53 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
12:57 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:00 At one point in time, [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:03 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:04 But you haven't answered my question.
13:06 [LAUGHTER]
13:08 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:09 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:11 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:13 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:15 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:16 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:19 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:20 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:21 [LAUGHTER]
13:24 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:26 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:28 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:30 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:32 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:33 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:35 You've been very public about your love life.
13:37 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:41 The lessons that you learned.
13:42 No, but you know, like, [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:46 And then that very public divorce with Casey.
13:50 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:53 What did you learn?
13:54 What did you learn?
13:55 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:57 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
13:59 When it comes to marriage.
14:09 Actually, I'm friends with the both of them.
14:15 But I really consider my second marriage--
14:20 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
14:22 So I consider my second marriage my real marriage
14:26 and my very first relationship.
14:30 Because we were together for 10 years.
14:34 And Casey raised my son with me.
14:36 Now he's happily married with a baby.
14:38 And I'm so happy for him.
14:41 And he deserves that.
14:43 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
14:45 Life is short, Tita Boy.
15:08 And you ask forgiveness from people
15:11 that you've hurt in the past.
15:13 And then, [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
15:15 I think that what you actually sow, you reap.
15:22 Was there a time when you became cynical?
15:24 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
15:26 Love parin ang love.
15:34 Love is love.
15:35 For me, I still believe in love.
15:37 I'm a hopeless romantic.
15:38 I believe that love is the answer to everything.
15:43 As a 47-year-old woman, to love myself,
15:47 to learn to love myself.
15:48 Because if I don't love myself, or if I don't take care
15:51 of myself, how am I going to take care
15:53 of my eight-year-old daughter?
15:55 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
15:57 You have to fill that cup until it runneth over.
16:00 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
16:03 That kindness, that forgiveness, it's lovely.
16:06 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
16:09 You never lost your faith in love.
16:15 I still believe in love.
16:16 Yeah, I know.
16:17 I can see it.
16:17 I hear you.
16:18 It's not like I'm going to die if I don't have a partner.
16:21 But--
16:22 But do you have a partner now?
16:23 No.
16:24 OK.
16:24 I have a best friend who is my daughter.
16:27 But maybe, just maybe God has someone out there for me.
16:32 And make yourself also your other best friend.
16:34 Aside from your daughter, your other best friend is yourself.
16:38 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
16:38 You just dance.
16:39 I loved it.
16:40 I mean, how do you dance when no one is watching?
16:42 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
16:45 How do you dance when no one is watching?
16:48 How is that movement?
16:49 Well, you dance like--
16:51 you know when you just wake up in the morning,
16:53 you're like, good morning, world.
16:55 Good morning, God.
16:56 And you just go--
16:58 and then you sing a little bit.
16:59 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:02 You know what?
17:03 You feel-- you're grateful to everything that you hear.
17:07 The little birds chirping, or whatever it is.
17:09 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:11 How do you dance when no one is watching?
17:13 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:15 OK.
17:16 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:18 And you have fantastic poses.
17:22 I'm sure [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:25 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:26 How do you do those poses?
17:28 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:30 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:33 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
17:36 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
