When Pops and I split, the phone wasn't ringing, I was not getting offers, endorsements were not paying attention to me anymore, so I said, you know what, I need to get out.
00:08.2
When I went to Las Vegas, I did all these stupid shows, I even washed cars.
00:13.0
Oh my God, it was the worst. I changed the color of my hair, I became this rebel, I lived in a bodega, literally.
00:22.7
You were not paid?
00:24.8
Considering you have a contract?
00:27.1
And then my Filipino believer at the time, who was the one who pushed for me, disappeared. So in short, he ran away.
00:36.6
And I have a house in Alabang, I was selling it, I sold my car, my one and only car, selling watches.
00:42.5
Talaga dumating sa ganun.
00:43.5
Just to be able to pay my ban until to the point, wala na akong pera.
00:57.1
I thought it was Pilita who introduced you to Boss Vic.
01:01.4
Yes, oh yeah, actually it was, because Gina was the scriptwriter of the Pilita and Jackie show.
01:06.5
Hanggang ngayon, bulol ka pa rin magtagal.
01:08.1
Oh, sobra, sobra. That's why there's no movies, or teleserias.
01:13.4
You're going to do one.
01:14.9
I don't know about that.
01:15.8
Kind of like the kids now, Ben and Ben.
01:18.4
Pag labas na lang sa stage, sigawan lang tayo. Ganyan ang sigaw para kay Majin Rivera noon.
01:23.0
Ngayon medyo wala lang mga boss and mga fans ko, dahil may edad na.
01:27.1
Every single day, and became the champion.
01:30.1
It's called the California State Talent Competition.
01:34.2
Number one lesson, the girls love the drummer, the bass player, and the balladeer.
01:39.3
Thank you. In that order.
01:41.3
Pinatapon nila yung mga susi.
01:43.5
Come to my room. Parang ganun, ganun sila.
01:45.5
Wow, I want this job.
01:48.3
This looks like something I can do.
01:50.7
Why is Society of Seven so special to you?
01:53.7
Society of Seven are seven men who became seven fathers.
01:57.1
You know what I wrote on my card?
01:59.1
Barry Manilow, maybe one day, you can sing for me.
02:06.1
What I meant, Barry, was you'll sing for us.
02:08.1
My country, the Philippines. That's what I meant.
02:12.1
Hinalik ako nito, hinalik ako nito.
02:14.1
And he pulled me back and I said, have we met?
02:16.1
Because I'm such a fan of your music.
02:18.1
I have your first album and I'm a fan multi-market.
02:20.1
And he goes, no, no, no, you don't understand.
02:22.1
My mentor told me, if I go to the Philippines to look up a certain Martin Rivera,
02:26.1
and copy everything he does.

Everywhere in the world, there has to be some sort of competition.
02:31.1
So a lot of the success that I am enjoying now, I thank Gary for.
02:36.1
I can't say how did we do that.
02:38.1
It's because Pops allowed it.
02:40.1
All the credit should go to Pops.
02:42.1
Because she doesn't have to allow it.
02:44.1
Especially a flying high superstar who thinks he is it.
02:49.1
Above everyone else.
02:50.1
You need to tell him the truth.
02:52.1
You need to bring him down.
02:53.1
Because what goes up, must come down.
02:56.1
This is Martin Rivera.
02:57.1
