00:38.9
Ladies and gentlemen, finally!
00:40.8
Matagal na kaming magkaibigan sa social media, pero ngayon, nahuli na natin siya rito.
00:45.9
Mr. John Singson!
00:49.3
Thank you, thank you. Nice to see you. Nice to see you, Paco.
00:53.0
I know, it's been a while.
00:54.2
But you know what? I guess there really is a plan and a purpose, eh.
00:57.9
Had we done this when...
00:60.0
When it began, baka konti lang pinag-uusapan natin.
01:03.3
But now, you've gone a long way.
01:05.4
By the way, for all of you guys and for you also,
01:09.1
when I invited you here first, kasi simula pa lang ng Paco's Place.
01:12.7
And it only means you were on our shortlist.
01:16.2
Oh, what a pleasure.
01:19.1
So now, let's talk about, I've seen your real estate projects.
01:24.0
I've seen the cars.
01:25.5
I've seen you with Mike Tyson.
01:28.4
How did this all begin?
01:30.5
It began really, kasi when I was in high school, I didn't really know what to do or what I wanted to do for a living.
01:39.2
So, I just met some friends that were doing real estate.
01:43.7
And my father also has a lot of real estate projects in the Philippines.
01:48.2
You know, hotels, mga airport, mga ganyan.
01:50.7
So, I was motivated by that.
01:53.1
So, that's how it started.
01:54.9
Okay. Simulan natin sa lineage.
01:56.7
When I say Singson,
01:58.0
Singson, Lawag, no, no, Vigan.
02:01.6
Vigan, Ilocos, Singson.
02:03.3
How are you related to Chavit Singson?
02:07.5
What have you learned from your lolo?
02:09.6
Because your lolo is very smart when it comes to investment.
02:12.6
Thank you, thank you.
02:13.9
Siguro, I've learned from him besides investment is the word of honor and credibility.
02:20.3
Lagi na lang niya sinasabi na whatever you promise the people, you have to perform and you have to do it.
02:25.2
So, I picked that up from him.
02:28.0
Very strict siya, yeah.
02:29.6
But he's a cool guy naman.
02:33.4
So, you know, maluwag kasama, hindi mabigat kasama.
02:40.0
He can be funny when it's the right time.
02:43.8
Like pag kayo-kayo lang?
02:45.0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:45.8
Ano naman siya, very easy going.
02:48.8
So now, real estate.
02:50.7
You could have gone into the stock market first.
02:54.0
But you saw your dad acquiring all these properties.
02:58.0
When did it dawn on you, yung epiphany na, oh my God, gagawin ko ito, first question.
03:06.1
Second question is, how did you ask or find the puhunan to actually go into business?
03:14.7
So, I think I was about 15, 16 years old.
03:17.7
I was just going with my dad to all his projects in the Philippines.
03:22.6
That's when it started to your first question.
03:26.0
And then, secondly,
03:28.8
yung puhunan, actually, walang nanggaling from my dad's side or mom's side or parents.
03:35.4
Yeah, when I came here to the United States in 2008, I studied here further.
03:40.7
Kasi nag-Ateneo and Lasal din ako in the Philippines.
03:43.1
So, nauna yung Ateneo.
03:44.6
Ibig sabihin, alam ko na kung ano nangyari pa, kaya ka nag-Lasal.
03:50.8
So, whatever happened, that's what it was.
03:56.2
So, you came here to study?
03:57.7
I came here just to study, you know, in high school.
04:00.3
And I was just enjoying here.
04:02.3
And that's when I met a lot of friends.
04:05.1
You know, nag-networking ako.
04:06.9
Wait, networking?
04:08.0
As in networking?
04:09.2
No, like networking.
04:10.4
Like, you know, just attending it naturally.
04:12.7
Yeah, attending events.
04:13.8
And I met a lot of people that were really successful in the game.
04:18.1
And that's what motivated me as well.
04:20.5
You say the game.
04:22.3
I've always told my kids, and I've learned this myself, but to our listeners and viewers,
04:27.7
it really is a game.
04:33.4
There are people who spend.
04:34.9
And, you know, I've seen you spend.
04:36.8
But before you can reach that level, there has to be a day, there has to be a time to really build your portfolio.
04:45.0
Yes, that's right.
04:46.5
Yung patience of building, paano mo na-develop yun?
04:51.0
Well, the patience, I developed it now with, because life is sometimes wins and losses, right?
04:57.7
So, I acquired that through that.
04:59.6
Sometimes, yung mga failures ko, like, within the industry, it made me a better businessman.
05:06.1
How hard are you on yourself when you fail?
05:09.3
I'm very, very hard on myself.
05:11.2
Kasi gusto ko perfect lahat eh.
05:14.4
I'm always, like, conservative in thinking the worst case scenario for myself and also my clients.
05:22.6
So, hindi ka naman always OCD.
05:25.0
Cautious ka lang?
05:25.7
Yeah, cautious lang ako talaga.
05:27.7
So, talk to us about investing in real estate.
05:33.0
Why would, if you're a millennial, why is it wise to invest in real estate even if people say mahalang bahay ngayon?
05:42.5
Well, buying real estate is like creating another job you don't have to work for.
05:49.1
Explain that further.
05:50.1
Pag-usapan natin.
05:50.7
After, pwede ba tanggal yung salamin?
05:53.2
Kaya kapogi naman pala talaga eh.
05:55.0
Hindi, medyo madilim lang.
05:57.7
So, yeah, real estate is like that.
06:01.4
So, I learned it through personal experience, you know, buying houses, flipping houses.
06:06.2
It's where you really acquire true wealth.
06:09.1
Flipping is what you did first, right?
06:10.8
Yeah, flipping and selling houses as well.
06:12.6
We have agents and they sell like just standard real estate, conventional way.
06:17.8
For all the millennials out there, I believe that yung sakripisyo sa simula lang naman yun eh.
06:24.4
You know, I did the same thing.
06:25.8
Remember, no money came from me.
06:27.6
I did the same thing.
06:27.7
I did the same thing.
06:27.7
I did the same thing for my parents.
06:30.0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:31.1
So, it's just my connections and the people that I know.
06:34.1
Kasi yun yung net worth ko is my network.
06:36.8
But in the beginning, yun talaga nakatulong sa akin.
06:40.0
And as far as your question for the millennials, I urged them to buy, you know, as soon as they can.
06:47.3
Kasi yung, you know, the time runs every year.
06:50.0
And if you're making in your properties like $80,000 to $100,000 every year,
06:54.9
and you can cash it out in two, three years,
06:57.2
and just do it over and over again,
06:59.4
that's like common sense, diba?
07:01.4
You can refinance it or get cash out and roll that into another property.
07:05.8
Would you tell them to keep their house or to have it rented out?
07:09.9
Alam mo yung grant card doon na?
07:11.3
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:12.6
Well, it depends on their, it's case-by-case scenario na money.
07:16.1
You know, if they can afford to buy a house, then rent out the other one and then keep buying.
07:21.3
But if they have to keep it and they have just enough like for the living and stable income,
07:27.2
then they can just stay in their primary house.
07:30.3
But maraming gumagawa ngayon yung mga duplex, triplex, fourplex, or like an ADU.
07:35.4
Or something like that.
07:36.7
They can just live in the house and rent out the other part and then that's extra income.
07:41.1
At least yung mortgage mo kalahati na lang.
07:44.2
After a couple years, you can liquidate your house, you know?
07:49.1
People are like, and enlighten me or add to it,
07:53.7
I was under the impression dati na,
08:00.2
And then, reading, na-realize ko, teka muna, if you have money to spend, kahit ba sabihin mo 8.9 or anbang interest rate as we're speaking?
08:12.9
It's about that 6, 7.
08:16.3
At 7, okay pa rin bumili ng bahay.
08:19.8
Tapos may nagsabi sa akin, pero pa ako ang taas ng mortgage mo.
08:25.1
Mataas ng mortgage mo.
08:26.5
But then again, hindi naman palaging 7 ang interest rate.
08:30.8
Ang interest rate, bababarin niya ng 3? 2?
08:34.3
We don't know, right?
08:35.9
Pero pag bumili ka at an interest rate of 2, wala nang ibababayan eh.
08:41.0
So, mas may chance kang magkaroon ng equity
08:43.8
if you have the opportunity to buy at a high interest rate.
08:49.0
Maganda ang presyo ng mga bahay.
08:50.5
It's normalized kasi less on demand.
08:54.0
May sense ba yung sinasabi ko?
08:56.4
Actually, when I buy properties,
08:58.2
doesn't matter if it's commercial or residential,
09:01.0
I never looked at the interest rate.
09:03.4
What matters is the buying it at the right price.
09:06.8
Kahit naman sabi mong mababa yung rate,
09:08.6
pero yung tao nag-overbidding 100,000, lugi ka na.
09:12.3
So, it's best to buy it at a, it doesn't matter.
09:15.9
Kahit ano yung interest rate.
09:17.8
What matters is your negotiation skills of your realtor or you
09:22.4
and you just acquire through there.
09:25.7
You negotiate it directly with the seller.
09:29.1
Did you become an agent first before you became a broker?
09:31.8
So, you had to pay your dues as an agent?
09:33.8
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:34.7
Kasi bumibili ako ng mga property eh.
09:37.7
Nakikita ko na parang yung commission sayang din.
09:40.6
So, you know, I would rack it up and invest it more and more into units.
09:45.4
What's it like, okay ha,
09:47.8
you're a scion of the Sing-Sun clan
09:50.6
and here you are rolling up your sleeves.
09:53.7
People think you have it easy.
09:55.7
Now, people are realizing you actually started this,
09:59.3
your empire on your own.
10:02.0
You could have gone another route, but you chose this for yourself.
10:07.5
Have you ever wanted to make a difference in people's lives
10:10.1
as you make a difference in your life?
10:12.9
Maybe a career in the healthcare industry is right for you.
10:16.0
Well, think about this.
10:17.8
A good work-life balance, competitive compensation,
10:22.3
flexible schedule, fulfillment,
10:24.9
as you make a difference.
10:25.6
You can make a difference in other people's lives and your own life.
10:28.6
In as little as six months, you can be a dialysis technician.
10:31.8
And for over 10 years,
10:34.1
Dialysis Education Services here in Southern California
10:38.2
has been helping people fulfill their dreams
10:41.2
in starting a career in the healthcare industry.
10:44.2
So what are you waiting for?
10:45.8
Enrollment is going on right now.
10:48.1
Call the number on the screen or visit dialysiseducationservices.com.
10:54.5
Now back to the program.
10:55.9
You could have gone another route, but you chose this for yourself.
11:00.8
For me, it feels really good.
11:02.7
Kasi pag when everything comes crashing down,
11:05.9
you can only help yourself.
11:07.5
So what I tell people all the time is, you know,
11:09.9
build yourself first before you do anything in life.
11:13.5
At least if you fail later on,
11:14.9
you can always remember what you've built before.
11:17.3
For me, that's that.
11:18.6
If you were going to go back to your 15-year-old self,
11:21.4
what would you have done differently?
11:24.7
Knowing what you know now?
11:25.6
I would have maybe hung out more with elder people
11:30.9
because that's who gave me the knowledge.
11:33.8
You're an old soul, no?
11:34.8
Yeah, you know my friends, now they're all 60s and 50s.
11:37.9
Ako lang pinaka-bata sa mga investment group na amin eh.
11:42.2
Like si Mike Tyson, how did that come about?
11:46.2
Oh, Mike Tyson, yeah, yeah.
11:47.7
So I invested in his podcast called Hot Boxin'.
11:51.6
That's where he smokes marijuana and entertain the,
11:55.2
you know, the kids.
11:55.6
You know, high-caliber guests.
11:57.3
And his team and group, parang mutual friend lang din eh.
12:01.6
They were looking for funders for that.
12:03.8
And I'm in a big, like a financial circle.
12:08.1
So they reached out to me and I said,
12:10.2
yeah, let's try it out.
12:11.2
Of course, ako naman kahit wala masyado kitain,
12:14.3
syempre yung tulong ko doon at sya yung pangalan na,
12:17.4
you know, they can uplift my name.
12:20.5
And I can help their community.
12:23.0
I bring a lot of guests there as well
12:24.6
because I'm into,
12:27.0
So I bring other guests as well.
12:29.5
What was it like meeting him?
12:30.8
It was intimidating in the beginning.
12:35.7
hindi naman ako na-intimidate sa kanya
12:37.6
as if like the current.
12:39.5
I was just intimidated because
12:41.0
I was seeing him on TV
12:43.6
for who he was before.
12:46.2
Pero him as a superstar or anything like that,
12:49.4
sanay na naman, you know.
12:51.8
It's a blessing that I met him
12:55.6
a lot of incredible individuals in his circle
12:58.9
and that also changed my life even better.
13:03.0
So I met him, what is it,
13:04.7
2016, eight years ago.
13:08.0
So I would bring like guests
13:09.7
and we would just hang out.
13:13.6
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:14.4
He's a sweet old grandpa now
13:15.8
while he does smoke weed.
13:18.9
Pero tinan mo ha,
13:19.9
tinan mo si Mike Tyson,
13:21.6
dun mo masasabi na
13:22.4
you really can't judge a person eh.
13:25.6
People, may mga semplang yan eh.
13:27.9
Pero it's not about the semplang.
13:30.4
are you gonna dust yourself off
13:34.9
May mga ganun eh.
13:36.4
Having been exposed to Mike Tyson,
13:38.6
anong napulot mo sa kanya?
13:40.1
Marami akong napulot sa kanya
13:44.4
Hindi, alam ko lang.
13:46.7
It's a lot of like,
13:48.9
I wouldn't say quotes,
13:51.3
but he talks like that eh.
13:52.7
Parang yung sobrang,
13:53.8
he's very knowledgeable in life.
13:55.6
And I would just remember,
13:59.6
everything he would say
14:03.7
pinagtunan mo ng pansin
14:05.0
and you realize it,
14:09.8
you really, really look back
14:12.1
and realize it was true.
14:14.6
Yeah, minsan talaga,
14:17.9
Pero totoo talaga lahat.
14:19.4
Natanong mo ba siya
14:20.8
lalabanan si Jake Paul?
14:23.7
Well, it's a money move.
14:25.6
but it's his own business.
14:28.8
But as a spectator,
14:31.2
kung dalawa tayong
14:31.9
nakaupo sa banketa,
14:32.9
is it a good move?
14:37.5
well, it depends.
14:40.1
Case by case scenario.
14:43.9
I would just leave it like that
14:45.2
kasi legend na siya.
14:46.5
But for the money,
14:47.7
maybe he has bigger purposes
14:48.9
to help other communities.
14:50.8
And without money,
14:51.6
you can't help the communities.
14:55.6
he has a larger goal.
14:57.4
I believe it's worth it.
15:01.1
around 60 years old,
15:05.8
a strike is a strike.
15:07.2
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:07.8
Well, siya lang naman
15:11.2
if he was kind of sideways.
15:13.0
it was rescheduled though
15:16.1
Based on his request?
15:20.1
Yung pinag-uusapan pa.
15:23.8
So, you're involved
15:27.5
We are doing like
15:29.1
a billiard project.
15:33.1
everything on your plate,
15:34.9
what's your baby?
15:40.0
San talaga yung puso mo
15:41.2
sa mga bagay-bagay na gano'n?
15:44.5
it's kind of like everything.
15:46.2
a lot of people say
15:47.1
balance is everything.
15:49.5
being not in balance
15:51.8
You know what I mean?
15:52.4
Being not in balance
15:60.0
yeah, you're not,
16:06.8
at the same time.
16:08.2
And I don't worry
16:09.6
about anything much
16:11.5
as long as I just focus.
16:14.5
hindi pa umuulan,
16:15.9
the umbrella, right?
16:17.1
I don't trip about
16:18.1
anything like that.
16:19.0
I just prioritize
16:19.8
everything as they come.
16:28.2
Pero you're not OCD
16:32.4
I'm not diagnosed.
16:35.7
I don't think so.
16:38.3
si John Singson, ha?
16:40.3
May checklist ka ba?
16:44.1
I have a checklist.
16:47.6
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:50.9
Tatawasin tayo mo.
16:51.9
Shout out, Diamond.
16:52.9
My wife, by the way.
16:54.0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:55.3
But that's my first baby,
16:58.9
And then everything else.
17:00.8
So ano na sa checklist mo?
17:15.0
Pag may hindi na check
17:16.7
dun sa checklist mo,
17:19.0
anong pakiramdam mo?
17:21.3
I think you got me.
17:25.3
I'm stressed out.
17:26.1
Talagang, I cannot sleep.
17:27.8
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:35.1
Kasi diba, there are people
17:39.6
And then let it go, diba?
17:40.7
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:41.4
Pero, having this conversation
17:43.1
with yung nakikita ko na,
17:45.1
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:45.7
Yeah, for me talaga kasi
17:47.2
domino effect ng buhay eh.
17:48.9
You know what I mean?
17:49.8
People need to hear that.
17:51.1
For me, it's like,
17:51.9
even when we have a yaya or not,
17:55.3
I fix the bed also.
17:57.2
And that bed that I fix
17:59.4
goes to like, you know,
18:00.9
other tasks that I want to complete.
18:02.6
Parang, you know.
18:03.9
Sunod-sunod na yan.
18:04.6
Sunod-sunod na yan eh.
18:06.0
Pero pag gumising ka,
18:07.2
alis ka ng bahay,
18:07.9
di ka naligo, diba?
18:08.9
Parang ganun lang.
18:10.0
You won't feel good.
18:13.4
I have a checklist.
18:17.2
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:18.3
And it's important also eh.
18:19.5
Yes, very important.
18:20.4
Kasi makalimutan din ako eh.
18:23.1
You know, with a lot of things going on.
18:28.6
nagkaroon na ba ng time na
18:29.4
it was just you, your dad,
18:30.7
and your lolo in one room?
18:32.9
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:33.3
What's the conversation like?
18:35.4
I've always wanted to ask you this eh.
18:37.7
Like, paano yung,
18:38.8
ano yung three generations yan eh?
18:40.4
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:41.0
And you're looking at the wisdom
18:43.9
Like, may conversation na silang dalaw eh.
18:46.3
And then dadagdag ka pa eh.
18:47.8
Yeah, well, it's always like business
18:49.3
what they talk about, you know.
18:50.7
Especially for the big events
18:52.1
like the Miss Universe, right?
18:53.8
We were all together.
18:55.3
Ah, parang normal naman.
18:57.5
Memorable sa'yo yung Miss Universe na yun.
18:59.4
Very, very memorable.
19:03.5
that was a good event.
19:05.1
So, you guys talk about business.
19:07.3
Are you the silent one in the room
19:09.2
absorbing everything?
19:10.2
I'm always the silent one
19:11.6
because talagang inaabsorb ko lang eh.
19:15.6
I always treat myself
19:17.3
as a beginner of everything.
19:19.0
Yeah, even with the stuff
19:20.9
that I know now in real estate,
19:22.7
you'll never really know everything in life.
19:26.1
It's a learning pace.
19:27.7
Now, when you deal with people,
19:32.3
nababasa mo na sila eh.
19:37.7
ito walang pera to,
19:38.6
ito ubusin lang yung oras ko.
19:39.8
But you can't reveal
19:40.8
what you see in them eh.
19:43.1
how do you deal with people
19:46.5
I just drop my ego
19:47.6
and I drop my pride.
19:49.5
kasi like you said,
19:50.4
if you're reading people
19:51.6
and you say mayabang to,
19:59.5
I can read within the,
20:01.5
five to ten minutes
20:02.5
of talking with somebody.
20:05.3
Mapupulot mo na eh.
20:07.2
me being in business,
20:09.3
to be in this equilibrium.
20:11.2
I'm always in the middle.
20:15.7
as long as I help them out
20:17.0
and provide them convenience,
20:20.8
We're not gonna talk about politics,
20:22.2
but I just want to know,
20:24.3
talking about politics?
20:28.7
It's in your periphery,
20:32.2
How do they get you to,
20:34.1
let me say something,
20:34.9
or how do you avoid that
20:36.9
as best you could?
20:39.0
As best as I could.
20:40.6
Talagang business lang talaga,
20:43.8
I just did it now.
20:47.3
Kaya ako natawa ako,
20:48.5
yung mga sagot na gano'n.
20:50.2
redirect na lang natin dyan.
20:52.2
I've never been involved
20:57.4
or anything like that.
20:58.7
I wanna know now.
20:59.6
I don't think I would.
21:01.9
Because that would,
21:04.1
like my lolo said,
21:05.9
he said this one time,
21:09.0
there's no permanent friends
21:10.2
and there's no permanent enemies.
21:12.3
There's only permanent interests.
21:14.7
So, pag may permanent interests ka,
21:17.3
you have to take sides.
21:19.9
I cannot take sides.
21:22.1
success I've ever made
21:25.3
was just being in the middle.
21:27.5
Being friends with everybody.
21:32.9
When you're in the middle,
21:34.4
when you're friends with everybody,
21:36.6
and people around you,
21:37.8
right side, left side,
21:39.7
how do you make it known
21:41.8
that you don't wanna get involved?
21:45.4
they can feel my vibe
21:46.9
that I'm not about that,
21:50.4
I'm really focused on
21:51.6
just doing my own thing
21:53.1
having a good time.
21:55.9
and expanding our businesses.
21:57.6
Ganun lang talaga eh.
21:59.4
bago naman ako pumunta sa place,
22:03.6
I have a checklist.
22:06.4
Pag-uusapan natin
22:11.9
problems as much as I can.
22:14.9
seeing you and your wife,
22:16.7
Ganda ng partnership,
22:17.8
ganda ng dynamics nyo.
22:19.6
Especially before we
22:21.8
the tape for the show.
22:25.1
You remind me of my wife.
22:27.1
Kasi ganun din ang
22:29.2
before ako mag-drums,
22:30.8
chine-checklist na niya ako na
22:36.7
How blessed are you
22:38.9
a very supportive wife?
22:40.4
I'm very blessed.
22:45.0
it's very hard to
22:49.2
certain relationships.
22:52.6
easy in every angle.
22:55.2
So I'm very blessed.
22:56.6
great businesswoman.
22:59.1
And this is where
22:59.6
my next question will be
23:00.8
because kanina you said
23:03.1
putting your ego aside,
23:05.9
Tumating na ba sa time
23:09.9
itong gagawin mo?
23:12.9
And Diamond comes in
23:18.3
There was a time,
23:21.3
With your permission,
23:21.9
I wanna hear this.
23:22.6
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:24.4
99% women is right.
23:30.2
listen to her now.
23:32.2
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:34.3
advise these people
23:35.5
because you're a very
23:37.1
How important is it
23:38.4
to listen to your wife?
23:41.3
kay Nino na rin yun.
23:42.7
you have to listen
23:44.0
forever and ever.
23:46.0
They run the world.
23:47.4
No, I'm just kidding.
23:48.0
alam mo yung feeling na,
23:50.4
na-experience ko,
23:57.3
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:58.6
Alam mo yung pag-sumabit ka,
24:03.0
when you wanna do something
24:05.7
I think we should go
24:07.4
how easy is it for you now
24:10.4
It's very easy now.
24:11.8
It's very easy now.
24:13.5
her suggestions are
24:16.0
is better than mine.
24:17.3
Even at the highest level
24:18.6
of business move.
24:23.2
but in real estate,
24:26.4
we just meet in between.
24:28.5
Where's the next step?
24:30.5
nang journey ni John sings?
24:36.9
and my community.
24:41.9
that's where it's at.
24:44.3
if you wanna make an impact
24:45.5
and a real change in the world,
24:47.1
it cannot just be financial.
24:48.8
You have to truly care
24:51.1
and that's where you start.
24:52.7
Little by little,
24:54.8
I'm gonna ask you,
24:55.9
I like what you just said
24:58.5
because nakikita ko na
25:00.1
you're taking care of
25:02.1
like sinabi mo kanina,
25:05.7
Let's talk about your toys.
25:13.2
subisena si Diamond.
25:17.0
Because this drum kit,
25:21.8
halos sampun libo yan eh.
25:27.1
parang inismagel ko yata yan
25:29.0
inside the studio
25:30.5
para hindi malaman ni Janelle
25:32.9
drum kit na ganyan.
25:36.1
it looks acoustic
25:37.6
but it's an electronic drum kit.
25:40.2
there are probably mga 500 sounds.
25:44.3
It's like 500 drum kits
25:47.5
So, you didn't tell her
25:48.3
you were gonna buy it?
25:51.2
pinahiram lang sa akin yan
25:53.6
But you can't do that
25:55.8
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:56.4
Especially a car that you have
25:57.8
or cars that you have.
25:59.4
What's the conversation like
26:00.7
before you buy your toys?
26:03.0
may ugali naman ako eh
26:04.2
na if I go to the dealership.
26:07.1
Mapafact check ko yan ha.
26:10.4
I just wake up one day,
26:12.2
I just go to the dealership
26:21.0
pag ginawa niya ito,
26:21.7
anong reaction mo?
26:23.9
she's used to it.
26:27.0
what was your first
26:28.1
Impulse buy on a car?
26:30.3
siguro the Bentley.
26:32.2
Na pinost mo yun eh?
26:33.5
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:34.2
The Bentley was my first one.
26:35.8
What was the story
26:40.3
Hindi ko realam eh.
26:41.2
Binili ko lang siya
26:44.1
Hindi mo ba sinabing,
26:45.2
pag ito out of stock,
26:46.3
it's not meant to be?
26:53.4
dapat merong mga stitching
26:56.1
So customized talaga?
26:58.5
And when it was finally,
27:00.0
is this a Phantom?
27:02.3
Bentley Continental.
27:02.9
Rolls-Royce pala,
27:05.5
And then I went to,
27:09.0
Let's talk about the Aston Martin.
27:10.4
Aston Martin is actually,
27:11.9
my wife is the motivator of that
27:13.5
because it's a gentleman's car.
27:15.6
You don't see a boy driving it
27:16.6
but you see a man driving it,
27:17.8
That's a James Bond kind of car.
27:19.5
tsaka what motivated me
27:22.9
So I've never had a V12,
27:27.3
Or rear wheel yan,
27:29.2
pero yung drive niya talaga,
27:33.4
and it can be aggressive
27:35.5
You don't feel the,
27:38.7
160 miles per hour,
27:39.8
you don't feel it.
27:41.7
I don't do things illegal.
27:45.6
Impulse by din yun o hindi?
27:47.6
Impulse by din yun right away.
27:50.0
she was in the Philippines.
27:52.7
I'm here by the house
27:57.5
do you like the grey
27:59.0
Ganda ng closing mo ha?
28:01.0
Hindi ka nagtanong,
28:01.6
can I buy this car?
28:02.9
No, no, no, no, no.
28:05.0
Pick a color ka agad.
28:06.8
Red talaga yung gusto ko
28:08.0
so I picked that one up.
28:12.6
none of these material things
28:13.9
will ever really last.
28:15.4
No, but they're rewards.
28:16.4
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:17.7
At saka motivation yan
28:18.8
for the next thing.
28:21.8
say in my comments,
28:24.9
they make fake accounts
28:26.8
wow, ganda naman yan
28:28.6
ba't kailangan mo i-post?
28:29.4
For me, it's different
28:30.2
because if you win the Olympics,
28:33.3
and you get gold medals.
28:36.3
Yeah, you have to.
28:37.6
You have to really show
28:39.3
not just your success
28:43.1
your own sweat into it.
28:46.6
Talagang yun yung talagang
28:49.0
in life, you know,
28:54.5
How many cars do you have?
29:03.3
What's your favorite car
29:09.8
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:14.4
I'm talking like I'm 60, right?
29:18.0
it's a moving living room.
29:21.7
Parang it's just so relaxed
29:23.7
you can go wherever.
29:24.8
You don't even feel the bumps.
29:27.0
just sitting here.
29:28.4
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:28.9
When was the last time
29:29.8
you rode a Honda Civic?
29:32.1
I don't remember.
29:34.7
no offense to that,
29:35.5
but I just don't remember.
29:37.6
the reason why...
29:37.9
But you know what,
29:38.8
sorry to cut you off,
29:40.7
but what kind of SUV
29:42.2
or car that I really like
29:44.2
plain and simple,
29:46.0
I really love Suburbans.
29:48.6
Parang ka nakasakay sa sofa pag...
29:50.5
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:50.8
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:51.0
Gusto ko lang talaga
29:59.6
I'm more on the space now.
30:03.8
At sa sobrang baba.
30:04.9
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:07.0
So we've talked about
30:09.6
We've talked about
30:13.0
What's a dream house?
30:15.4
you mentioned Newport Beach.
30:20.8
I don't really look at any,
30:22.6
parang dream house eh.
30:24.7
kung hindi siya up
30:27.4
and it's not paying me
30:29.3
I don't really wish
30:32.1
like apartment units.
30:34.6
That's what attracts me more.
30:36.3
Like commercial towers.
30:39.0
Pero pag sa bahay,
30:40.7
wala naman masyado.
30:44.2
Like him, hate him.
30:46.9
I rarely hate on anybody.
30:49.1
nasa middle lang tayo.
30:49.8
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:52.0
I like everybody.
30:53.2
Maybe some people
30:54.1
have opinions about him.
30:58.5
let's count the times
30:59.5
he's helped millions of people too.
31:02.1
If you were to advise,
31:04.3
not 15-year-old you,
31:06.4
kanina millennials,
31:11.9
everything's being painted gloomy.
31:16.0
laughing about stuff.
31:19.7
Like 20 years apart?
31:21.9
Pareho natin nakita ang buhay
31:25.6
with or without us.
31:27.0
It's how we play the game.
31:28.8
Like what you said.
31:30.3
Before we end this,
31:33.6
what can you advise
31:36.9
people younger than you,
31:37.9
and people as old as you,
31:43.5
sa mga bata naman,
31:45.3
they shouldn't be afraid
31:48.1
and take their time.
31:50.3
the more mistakes,
31:52.9
not intentional mistakes,
31:55.2
mistakes that you encounter
32:01.1
siguro nung bata ako,
32:02.2
kasi lagi kong binabaliktad lahat eh.
32:04.3
If everyone was going right,
32:06.7
and check it out.
32:07.6
And nandun pala talaga yung,
32:10.1
kung mag-fail naman ako doon,
32:11.8
balik ako doon sa mga maraming tao.
32:13.2
Is that from your gut?
32:14.7
Yeah, it is from my gut.
32:20.3
better on the other side.
32:21.9
And if you don't,
32:22.6
at least yung backup plan mo,
32:24.1
nasa better side talaga.
32:26.4
Kasi nandun talaga yung mga ano eh.
32:28.2
So don't play it safe
32:29.4
when you're young.
32:30.1
No, don't play it safe.
32:32.2
Gamble everything,
32:33.3
but at the same time,
32:36.8
They're supposed,
32:38.4
they're where they're at right now.
32:39.7
They're supposed to be there.
32:40.7
You know, it's like,
32:41.8
parang nafe-feel kasi nila minsan,
32:44.4
dito ba ako talaga?
32:45.5
Like, always think that,
32:46.7
yeah, this is the right spot for you.
32:48.1
Even if you're sick,
32:50.3
kailangan talaga,
32:51.6
they make mistakes on their own,
32:54.4
but not like crazy.
32:55.6
Yung mga common sense na mistakes,
32:57.3
delikado naman yun.
32:58.3
But when you get old,
33:00.2
I think you should be listening to your kids.
33:03.3
Because the modern life
33:04.4
sometimes can make you more younger,
33:06.8
which is more health,
33:10.9
puro mga bata na yung nagpapatakbo ng mundo,
33:14.6
Or especially with social media,
33:16.1
or like gadgets and stuff like that.
33:20.8
it's risk everything while you're young,
33:25.1
and just build yourself.
33:27.0
Do you make sense on your dad?
33:28.6
No, not really, no.
33:29.9
Do you give him advice?
33:32.5
but he barely asks.
33:33.9
Did you ever see your lolo or your dad,
33:36.3
I wouldn't do it that way,
33:37.8
but you know what,
33:38.3
I'll just keep my mouth shut?
33:40.2
actually I'm like that.
33:42.1
at the end of the day,
33:45.4
baka masaktan pa,
33:49.0
I just feel like,
33:54.5
tell him na ganun.
33:55.9
I just let it be.
33:57.8
kung ano yung gusto nila gawin,
34:00.3
that's what's gonna happen.
34:01.8
Are you happy where you're at?
34:08.3
I admired you from afar,
34:09.6
I admire you more now, bro.
34:12.8
Ladies and gentlemen,
34:19.5
how you can get in touch
34:21.1
sa link in the description.
34:25.1
during the course of
34:27.9
yung information,
34:29.4
i-post nyo na lang,
34:30.5
or kaya balikan nyo
34:32.5
with John Singh Son.
34:40.4
Nakaka-inspire ka, bro.
