00:00Anjanette is a part of my life because I managed Anjanette for many years and I worked with her here as a GMA7.
00:12We hosted a show called Show and Tell.
00:14If we need to, let's not talk about it.
00:16But we're talking about beauty.
00:18Come on AJ, let's try five best memories.
00:22Five beautiful memories about show business.
00:26My first memory of how I got into show business was through winning Binibining Pilipinas Universe.
00:33Binibining Pilipinas Universe?
00:35Yes.
00:36But that was controversial.
00:37Of course, it was controversial because of my stay, how long I was here for.
00:41Someone complained to me, also from here.
00:44Someone complained to me that I didn't meet the requirement of six months.
00:49That's why I resigned.
00:51You resigned?
00:52Yes.
00:53So, you were not dethroned, you resigned from Binibining Pilipinas.
00:57Yes, I resigned.
00:58But how was that experience?
00:59Oh, it was wonderful.
01:01Who was with you?
01:02Patti Batita.
01:04Oh.
01:05Yes, Jem Padilla crowned me.
01:07Lu Gonzalez replaced me.
01:09Okay.
01:10Yes, and Anjanette Fernando who I guess became a Binibining sometime later.
01:14There was a 60th anniversary of Binibining recently, right?
01:18Yes.
01:19I hope you got there.
01:20Yes, no, I don't think they have any of my contact number.
01:23And they have no idea that you are in town.
01:26Yes.
01:27It would be nice if you could meet your friends.
01:29Yes.
01:30So, Binibining Pilipinas, that was your entry point in the show business.
01:34Yes, that was my entry point.
01:35And secondly, of course, who can forget Darna?
01:37I cannot leave that out.
01:39Darna.
01:40A lot of people are saying that you are perhaps the sexiest, Darna.
01:44And what made it different is your scream.
01:47Come here, AJ.
01:48I'm Ding.
01:49Okay.
01:50You have this distinct way of saying Darna.
01:53I guess mine was because when you become Darna, that's your moment.
02:00Okay.
02:01So, take all the time in the world and scream.
02:04That's your idea.
02:05Yes.
02:06Not just Darna.
02:07No.
02:08Is it really like that?
02:09Well, most of the time, when you say, for example, Ding, right?
02:13Darna.
02:14Ah, no.
02:15You know, Tony Ibarra is here.
02:18He's our lawyer here in gym A7 because he used to watch you.
02:21But anyway, okay, go.
02:22So, how did you do your Darna?
02:24Oh, me?
02:25When I get the sonay?
02:26This is your camera.
02:27Okay.
02:28So people will remember.
02:29Okay, when I get the sonay.
02:30I'm Ding.
02:31Ding, the rock.
02:32There.
02:34Darna!
02:36Oh.
02:41I think it's longer, but that's all.
02:43Yeah, like that.
02:44Oh, the Darna.
02:46But how was that?
02:47Did you fly?
02:48How easy?
02:49How difficult was that?
02:50Oh, that was really hard because I had to wear a metal, a steel harness.
02:58Oh, my God.
02:59And then?
03:00When I fly, it's not there.
03:01But in the movie, the green screen, blue screen, I'm harnessed with steel.
03:05So, when I'm like that, everything is here.
03:09And then the steel is like cutting into my skin.
03:12It hurts.
03:13Oh, yeah.
03:14I can't hold my pose and smile.
03:15So, I'm like.
03:19Let's do Darna one more time.
03:20Okay.
03:21One, two, three, go.
03:22Darna!
03:24Okay, so that's it.
03:28Okay, that's the second memory.
03:29The third one.
03:30Well, it's also with Darna still.
03:32Okay.
03:33Because my third memory is of Darna and all the snakes I had to deal with.
03:37It's not just around me.
03:39I'm talking about the actual animals.
03:41Okay.
03:42Oh, it's you.
03:44Okay.
03:45It's scary.
03:46The 18-foot python, which I wrestled on my own.
03:50It's a real python.
03:5118-foot.
03:52You wrestled with a python?
03:54Yes.
03:55I will never forget that.
03:56Not many people can say they wrestled an 18-foot python and lived.
03:59And you did.
04:00And I did.
04:01Because it's hard.
04:03Then, the two cobras that were on me.
04:06One of them decided to do that to me while I was sitting like this.
04:10And one of the cobras decided to turn on me and started hissing.
04:14Then, it started slithering into my dress.
04:18And I was in the corner.
04:20Oh, no.
04:21I said,
04:23Nobody said anything.
04:24He said,
04:25You know, when I'm nervous, I like to crack a joke or something just to make myself feel better.
04:29And I said,
04:30I know who's the man here.
04:32Because there are two of them.
04:33So, that broke the spell.
04:35And they all laughed.
04:36And they were able to pull the snake out.
04:37I thought the snakes also laughed.
04:39Okay.
04:40So, they were able to pull the snake out.
04:43But, you know, it was very harrowing.
04:45I didn't know the story.
