00:05I haven't been able to ask you this, but how did you know that your dad was the
00:13great Fernando Poe Jr? Gosh, how did I know? It wasn't a big conversation.
00:20Really? He didn't sit down and I want to tell you something. I don't remember it
00:24being like that, but it was just something that was there. The norm in my
00:33head, it wasn't a big deal sa home. My mom didn't make it like a big deal.
00:42Kailan mo nalaman? My gosh, I always knew since I was a kid. And it was just in
00:49passing. My name, I've always used my last name. But now when you look back, and you're
00:55able to, I mean in hindsight, what are the stories that lingers in your mind? Stories
01:04that your mom told you about your father? How kind he is to people. It's not just my mom,
01:14I think it's everyone that I've been here. Whoever I've been working, oh what an amazing
01:21feeling it is when they come up to me and like, you know what, your dad was so good to
01:25me.
01:26Like, a simple story. I started my first TV series here, of course, Bakekang. And Ate Shine,
01:35Dizon, told me great stories about my dad. And then you know what, the beauty of it is
01:40that she gave me the kindness of my dad. My God, I didn't want to be a part of it
01:45at all. But she sat down
01:48on the set with me. And I mean, she's the lead of the show. She didn't have to do this.
01:53She sat down
01:54on the set with me and watched me as a monitor and coached me in my scenes. And I believe
02:02it's also because of the stories
02:03because of the kindness that my dad showed her. You know, it's little things like that. And I appreciate it.
02:12Because wherever I go, the legacy he left behind, it's remarkable. You can't really match it.
02:20I get it. Without you even being aware about it, you become the beneficiary of the goodness of your father.
02:28Yes, that's nice. That's a nice way of putting it, for sure.
02:34Because we have stories about your dad and how kind he was. And how,
02:41I was the one who entered my mind, he was very gentle. You know, he wanted to tell me something.
02:47We were in a press conference. And the way he whispered an information to me,
02:53he was in my life. And you're talking to, of course, the king of the Philippine movies,
02:57who could just have said, can you call him? You know, I want to talk to him.
03:02He went to where we were and just said it. He was a kind, kind man.
03:07Well, we'll be right back.
03:09Well, yeah.
03:19I'm sorry.
03:34So, absolutely.
