00:00Um, Gerald. I hadn't seen Gerald since he was 20 and he's now 37, he says.
00:08So, because we featured his home in Yes! magazine, that's when I saw him.
00:13You were beginning pa lang, no?
00:14Oh, dito. I'm zeroing in on the job.
00:19Na napaka-dilim na ang mga karakter kung hindi perpetrator, victim, or both.
00:25Paano mo pinasok yung mundong yun na ibang-iba naman sa mundo mo?
00:31Well, first of all, good afternoon po siya yung lahat.
00:35Sa totoo lang, kanina pa ako nasa stress dito kasi di ko po alam kung paano ako na-invite at
00:41napasama pa dito sa stage with these incredible people who've done so much para sa industriya.
00:48Hindi ko po ata nabasa na maayos yung invite.
00:51Pero buti na lang, hindi ko po nabasa kasi if I would have known na ito pa lang mangyayari ay
00:56mahiya po ako kasi siyempre, you know, to be in the presence of these kind of people who've done so
01:03much para sa industriya natin.
01:04But nevertheless, maraming pong sanam mo sa invitation and I'm very proud to be here.
01:10Pinapakinggan kung lang yung mga storyya nila.
01:11It's motivating me so much para magtrabaho.
01:14So, um, but yeah, um, ano po ma'am John, um, that, we shot that movie in 2011.
01:22So, I don't know, I must have been 20, 21 years old, parang ganoon.
01:28And that was the time of my life and my career where I wanted to really focus on the craft.
01:33Kasi po, um, lahat po ng projects ko, I was in a love team.
01:38So, I wanted to kind of, you know, transition to trying to become an actor.
01:44You know, the best actor I could be.
01:46And, you know po, sunon-sunon na po yun.
01:48After OTJ, I did Budoy and I did these, these amazing, oh po, tayo tayo, tayo, Tito Pip.
01:53You know, I get, I, because when you, when you always challenge yourself, you know,
01:58and you always, right, you feel uncomfortable at, at, at, hindi ka sure kung kaya mo gawin,
02:04that's when beauty happens and the magic happens.
02:07So, sa awa po ng Diyos, tong idad na yun, medyo makapal po yung muka ko at, um, talaga naglaka
02:12-slope lang ako.
02:13But, um, yeah, you know, as an actor, na sabi na rin po nilang lahat,
02:18you always prepare, you always, you know, research and, uh, you study the script.
02:22But, uh, this movie did not become this kind of movie dahil ang puso sa karakter ko.
02:27It really took the whole team, you know, the brilliance of direct Eric Mati, um, yung, yung producers,
02:34the whole staff, and I'm just very proud to be part of it.
02:37And, masasabi ko, I just really did, at that young of an age, I just did my best.
02:41Um, wala po akong amazing story katulad nila, but, um, I think it's also, hopefully,
02:47that could also inspire the new up-and-coming actors and actresses out there,
02:52na really focus on the craft, especially po sa panahon ngayon na puro social media,
02:57influencers, just really focus po sa craft kasi I was so blessed to nakakasama ko po si Tito Pip
03:04and other great actors.
03:06So, yeah, di ba?
03:07So, yun po, and directors, of course.
03:09Um, but, yeah, yun lang po.
03:11And thank you again sa invite.
03:13We're very happy to have you.
03:15We're very happy.
03:16Nung nasa loob po ng BBB, hindi ako makapaniwalan, makakasampa ko sa stage na,
03:20with all these amazing people.
03:22But, thank you, thank you.
03:24Thank you for being here.
