DARRYL YAP PART 2 : Out of the box writer-director || #TTWAA Ep. 200
00:29.5
Kung idedemanda nila ko, I'll just erase it.
00:31.5
Yan ang nasa isip ko eh.
00:32.7
So I asked lawyer friends din about it.
00:35.1
So I got their attention and it worked my way.
00:37.9
So I'm just very happy.
00:39.0
So that was the start.
00:40.4
But ABS was not because ABS during that time.
00:43.1
They must felt bad.
00:45.5
They felt na they were used para lang magpataas ako ng presyo.
00:50.0
But I told them my side.
00:51.8
I told them naman na it's not like that.
00:53.9
It's just that Boss Vic works in mysterious ways.
00:57.1
Alam mo rin si Boss Vic, masyadong mabili siya.
01:01.1
Jewel Ball ang naging unang material mo sa Viva.
01:04.3
So this came out 2019.
01:06.4
Rouncing movie ni Kim Molina.
01:08.7
Dito rin nag-take off.
01:09.8
Pareho kayo actually.
01:11.3
You were so unknown at that time.
01:13.5
And my request was to give me, to not let me handle a superstar.
01:18.4
Yeah, that's my request.
01:19.6
Sabi ko ayoko po ng...
01:21.3
Ang balik na, diba?
01:23.0
Parang feeling ko po deserve ng script ko ng Ronis.
01:25.7
Ayoko pong nakikita nila yung artista.
01:27.9
Gusto ko po yung gawa ko.
01:28.8
Baka sabihin kayo.
01:29.4
May kumita kasi ganito yun, diba?
01:31.7
But gusto ko rin, Tita Astro, ang hirap kasi pag sikat na sikat yung artista,
01:34.7
hindi nila maalas yung artista dun sa role eh.
01:37.9
Pero ngayon, kapag ako, pag nanonood ako ng Netflix,
01:41.0
mas effective sa akin pag hindi ko kilala yung artista,
01:43.7
mas interested ko yung siya yun, diba?
01:45.6
So may ganun akong thinking.
01:46.9
And my dream for the industry is to be like that,
01:49.3
to be script and director based na tipong parang Hollywood na,
01:53.5
kaninong pelikula yan?
01:54.5
They say the name of the director, they say the name of the script writer,
01:57.9
hindi lang nung artista.
01:59.4
Always give the throne to the script, to the story.
02:02.4
Parang ganun po ang pangarap ko sa showbiz.
02:05.1
Pero ang galing mo, no?
02:05.9
Kasi because you're right, karamihan naman na actually ng mga directors,
02:08.6
magagaling na director ngayon,
02:09.9
they're also writers at the same time.
02:11.8
Ako po, my contract with Diva is I don't direct what I don't write.
02:15.0
So my 16 films in Diva were all written by me.
02:18.0
If they are offering like a Korean version of this or a Spanish version of this,
02:23.4
I don't direct what I don't write po eh.
02:26.0
That's in my contract.
02:27.3
Okay, that's good.
02:27.9
When Sharon was offered to you, doon sa pelikulang Revirginized,
02:32.3
na-intimidate ka ba?
02:33.4
Siyempre, Sharon Cuneta to, mega star.
02:35.8
I remembered, Sharon wanted to do something different.
02:40.8
Ang Diva po parang ganito eh.
02:42.2
If may artista ang nagsabi ng, I want something different,
02:45.1
parang it's my name on the list.
02:48.7
Parang, ah gusto mo nakakaiba ha, tawagan natin si Daryl.
02:51.7
Something like that.
02:52.4
So, I have this script, Revirginized.
02:55.5
It's really intended for Sylvia Sanchez.
02:59.3
Because I was so in love with Ate Ibiang doing the Jerry Grasho.
03:04.7
Nakalimutan ko po title eh.
03:06.0
Basta it's love sa ABS.
03:08.9
Yung may amnesia siya.
03:10.2
Greatest love, that's it.
03:11.8
So, I'm friends with Sir Jerry Grasho.
03:14.4
Tapos sabi ko, ang galing naman ni Sylvia Sanchez dyan.
03:16.7
Sabi ko, I want to do a film with her.
03:19.8
Pero dahil sobrang model mother niya, parang I want to do her dirty, sabi ko.
03:26.1
So, I wrote a script entitled,
03:28.6
I wanted Sylvia Sanchez.
03:30.2
But, you see, Tita Ibiang kasi is a producer na din.
03:33.7
So, I think they had a meeting with Boss Vic.
03:36.9
Boss Vic, parang he doesn't want to make me pahiram.
03:39.8
Sabi niya, sabi ko, baka pwede mo akong pahiram kay Ate Ibiang.
03:43.1
Bayaran na lang ni Sylvia yung talent because of iba, ganyan.
03:47.5
So, parang masyshelved siya.
03:49.4
Until siya, we reached out and said she wanted to hear the story.
03:54.9
So, nagulat po ako na si Sharon Coneta ang kazum ko.
03:57.9
Pinapasok lang ako sa Zoom link.
03:59.9
At hindi pa kayo magkakilala nun, personally?
04:01.5
Hindi pa po. Naka-black yung screen niya eh.
04:04.4
Hindi rin po nakasulat na Sharon.
04:06.5
Sabi niya, Darryl, sabi ni Boss Vic, Darryl, kwento mo nga sa akin ulit yung Revirginized.
04:10.2
Tapos po, kwento ako ng kwento na napaka-casual.
04:13.5
Yung bunga nga ako na talagang bastos, palang mura.
04:16.8
Bunga nga ako ng bunga.
04:17.9
Tapos po, hindi na napigilan ni Shawi.
04:20.1
Nag-on po yung video niya, tsaka volume, tawa siya ng tawa.
04:23.7
Nagulat ako, tinignan ko pa talaga sa monitor kung si Sharon Coneta talaga.
04:27.2
Tapos sabi ni Boss, oo, si Sharon yan.
04:29.6
Ano sa tingin mo?
04:30.7
Sharon was really, you know naman, hagik-gik ng hagik, tawa ng tawa.
04:34.5
Sabi niya, Boss, I like it, Derek, I like it. Can we do it?
04:37.1
Alam niyo po, hindi ako makapaniwala.
04:39.3
There is this history.
04:40.6
Tapos, I made him say a lot of things na hindi niya pa sinasabi sa karir niya.
04:44.9
Pinag-baiting suit ko siya.
04:46.0
Offbeat talaga, di ba?
04:47.0
Yeah, offbeat talaga.
04:47.9
So, very happy, no?
04:49.6
That when ako, during my...
04:51.4
Of course, my generation is Claudine and Judy Ann.
04:54.4
But for me, when you say artista, it's really Sharon.
04:57.5
Endorsements, acting, performing.
05:00.8
I grew up with the Sharon Coneta show.
05:03.4
I grew up na pinapanood kayo, nag-guest niya kayo.
05:06.3
Parang after yata ng pagpa-perform siya, may isang taga showbiz na mag-i-interview sa kanya.
05:11.5
I remember that. It's very vivid.
05:14.2
So, sabi ko, siya talaga ang artista sa akin.
05:17.0
I don't want to say it, pero very showbiz si Sharon.
05:20.1
Yun ang pagkakilala ko sa kanya.
05:21.9
Very mabati sa lahat ng tao.
05:26.6
Siya talaga, pag sinabi mo, sino yung artista sa'yo?
05:29.2
Tingin ko, artista, Sharon Coneta talaga.
05:31.4
I'm really working with an artista na.
05:33.1
Parang gano'n ang tingin ko.
05:34.6
It was like, Sharon was carrying me all throughout.
05:37.7
I really adore her. I love her.
05:40.0
We've grown a relationship na we've been very open with each other.
05:44.0
I know. Naging very close kayo.
05:45.1
Very close, yeah.
05:45.6
While doing that movie.
05:46.8
Yeah, kasi niregaluhan niya ako ng Louis Vuitton.
05:49.9
Sobrang naging close kami after that.
05:53.0
So, sabi niya, Direk, wala ka pa palang branded?
05:56.0
Sabi ko, naku, kahit lasingin niyo po ako, hindi ako bibili ng ganyan.
06:00.3
Tapos, after a while, pinadala niya ako ng bag.
06:03.4
Ng Louis Vuitton.
06:04.3
Of course, bumalik na naman ako sa pagiging mukhang pera.
06:07.6
So, naging super close namin niya.
06:09.9
I mean, even after elections, you know, her husband ran for vice president.
06:15.6
My client is also running for vice president.
06:19.0
Ang hirap nun, ha?
06:20.8
But we maintained it.
06:22.0
We maintained it.
06:23.0
I guess because she's really a nice person.
06:26.0
Malik ko siya, eh.
06:26.7
Yung kabaliwan naming dalawa.
06:28.7
Paras kaming Capricorn.
06:29.7
January 6 siya, January 7 ako.
06:31.3
Yes, correct, correct.
06:32.4
Magkasunod na araw lang.
06:34.4
Gusto kong i-hear-in ang nanay ko ng 6.
06:36.3
Hindi kinaya, eh.
06:38.1
I'm 12.30 in the morning, eh.
06:40.3
Muntik kami naging magka-birthday.
06:42.9
Ah, kayo naman pala.
06:44.0
Kayo pala kayong magkasundo.
06:45.3
Swap, swap na swap.
06:46.6
Ngayon nga po, parang I have a pitching sa kanya.
06:49.3
Ng second movie namin.
06:50.7
I just don't know kung paano.
06:53.2
That's nice to hear.
06:54.9
Aminin mo man o hindi,
06:56.2
you're a very controversial personality.
06:58.9
Yung mga ginagawa mo lang,
07:00.4
binibigyan lang ng malis ng ibang tao,
07:03.2
Though I write scripts,
07:04.1
I'm very unscripted.
07:05.3
I always try to...
07:06.8
Gusto mo yung out of the box.
07:08.0
Yeah, I try to be very natural.
07:10.0
Well, I grew up in Subic.
07:11.4
I grew up in Olongapo.
07:12.7
I was exposed to real life talaga.
07:17.0
I used to collect house rent for prostitutes.
07:20.8
So, at a young age,
07:21.8
I know what sex work is.
07:23.9
I'm so exposed to it.
07:25.5
Because it's, you know, American-based.
07:27.5
May base militar ng Amerika doon.
07:29.7
So, ang daming pokok sa amin, tita Astor.
07:32.4
So, ako ang nangunguha ng mga renta niya.
07:34.4
Nintusan ako ng lola ko.
07:35.9
I'm exposed talaga.
07:37.2
I don't know kung my upbringing is like that.
07:39.9
Kaya nagugulat ang tao sa akin.
07:41.8
Or Philippine Subic is, you know,
07:45.0
it has formula kasi.
07:46.0
Siguro kasi naging part yan ang buhay mo.
07:48.5
Parang kinagisnan mo rin yun.
07:50.7
Personal mo rin na experience.
07:53.2
parang surrounding mo rin yun.
07:55.9
And Philippine Subic is,
07:57.4
it has a formula.
07:59.3
you learn to magbaw sa mga...
08:01.7
I mean, it's a sign of respect.
08:04.4
But let's just say,
08:06.0
I'm really out of the box.
08:07.3
When I arrived in Subic,
08:09.3
I already have this mantra na
08:11.2
I want to give something new.
08:13.6
a lot of directors,
08:14.6
they say they're giving something new
08:16.2
but I think their new is not new enough.
08:18.3
I always try to shock everybody.
08:20.5
Maybe that's a style.
08:23.2
I always have to shock them.
08:26.0
to give something new
08:27.3
and to give something shocking.
08:28.9
And something different.
08:30.5
Something different.
08:32.1
How does it feel na
08:33.1
pati mga colleagues mo,
08:35.2
parang even directors also
08:37.3
in the industry ay
08:38.8
parang hindi swak
08:40.5
sa mga pananaw mo?
08:42.1
Well, I think it's very healthy.
08:45.0
how that is giving me conviction
08:47.3
because I don't want to be similar to someone.
08:50.2
Kapag sinasangayunan ka ng maraming tao,
08:52.5
kagaya ka lang nila.
08:54.1
So, hindi ako naniniwala na
08:55.9
na mapapansin ka ng mga tao
08:57.7
kung pare-parehas kayo.
09:01.4
o pagsabi na hindi maganda tungkol sa akin,
09:04.5
yun po ay isang barometro na
09:06.4
ako po ay nag-iexist.
09:08.0
Ako po ay napapansin nila
09:09.4
at masayang-masaya ako.
09:11.0
Itong mga director na to,
09:12.1
tinitingala ko to,
09:14.2
I always have high respects towards them.
09:17.4
If they don't approve of my art,
09:19.7
that's their taste.
09:20.5
I don't take it against them.
09:21.8
I'm very welcoming with that.
09:23.9
Masayang-masaya ako sa feedback.
09:25.3
That means I exist.
09:27.2
A lot of directors na dumating bago ako,
09:30.1
they come and they go.
09:31.2
Hindi man lang sila napansin
09:32.5
or nabigyan ng atensyon ng mga
09:34.2
parang panginoon na sa showbiz.
09:36.3
But them giving me attention,
09:39.9
giving me moment,
09:41.0
giving me their time,
09:42.4
it's something else to be proud of.
09:45.6
Mentioning my name,
09:46.9
it makes me kilig all the time.
09:49.6
Hindi nagkaroon ng time or panahon
09:53.1
because of this bashing.
09:57.1
I don't take it personally.
09:58.4
Even the friction between direct Joel,
10:00.6
I took it as a blessing
10:01.6
na him mentioning my name,
10:04.4
him mentioning my film.
10:05.7
My God, who am I?
10:07.1
It's like that eh.
10:08.4
Parang I was just attending workshops
10:10.4
na ikaw ang mentor.
10:12.0
I watched all your films.
10:13.8
One of my favorite,
10:17.3
oh this is a good opportunity
10:18.9
to be known by such a known director.
10:21.7
So I never took it against them,
10:23.9
especially direct Joel.
10:25.2
Yeah, personally, no.
10:26.8
It's just a matter of explaining your side.
10:29.2
I think naman everyone is,
10:30.8
has the right to explain their side.
10:32.6
So wala pong bad na nararamdaman.
10:35.6
ang mga nga is watching right now,
10:37.6
anong gusto mo iparating sa kanya?
10:42.2
baka pwede na tayo maging friends ulit sa Facebook?
10:45.3
Friends kayo dati?
10:46.4
Way, way back, yeah.
10:48.9
mabait naman yan eh.
10:50.5
Mabait yan si direct eh.
10:51.0
Very accommodating.
10:53.6
I remember him calling me anak pa nga eh.
10:58.4
So, ayun direct, anytime.
11:00.8
I always wanna reach out.
11:02.6
I think I sent a friend request 2023.
11:06.1
Hindi pa niya ina-accept.
11:07.4
Parang nawala ulit yung request.
11:10.2
baka dinecline ni direct Joel eh.
11:12.5
So, pwede naman ako magpadala ulit?
11:15.1
Try-try lang ako.
11:16.8
There's no harm in trying.
11:18.5
Of course, of course.
11:19.4
You've been in this business for 7 years, right?
11:21.7
16 movies under Viva.
11:24.4
10 years ang kontra ko sa kanila eh.
11:26.1
So, may 3 taon ka.
11:26.5
6 years pa lang ako.
11:30.9
Marami ang nagagalit sa'yo,
11:33.5
pero marami rin ang natutuwa sa'yo.
11:36.0
So, siyempre hindi rin nawawala yung mga sinasabi ng iba na
11:38.7
sobrang lumaki ang ulo mo,
11:40.7
sobrang yumabang ng direct Darryl.
11:43.0
So, ano ang take mo on this?
11:45.1
I always guard myself, Tita Asra.
11:47.9
I don't think I changed.
11:50.5
what they see is what they want to see.
11:54.1
I always keep myself grounded.
11:56.7
I'm always like this.
11:57.6
Way, way back, I'm like this na.
11:59.9
I speak what's in my mind.
12:02.8
I guess it's, I'm just...
12:03.8
Na may misconstrued lang na may yabang ka.
12:05.8
Yeah, because I say things.
12:06.8
So honest, so candid.
12:08.2
I don't think it's yabang on their side.
12:10.0
I think it's more of fear, I guess,
12:12.2
because I always tell what I want.
12:14.2
And I don't censor myself.
12:16.6
I don't think I changed.
12:20.5
And you learned a lot.
12:22.7
I'm just so blessed na I'm growing sa mata ng publiko.
12:28.0
I guess that's the right term.
12:29.8
I don't want to say I've changed.
12:30.8
I think I'm still growing and...
12:32.6
Oh, especially you're still young.
12:34.1
May nga na 36, di ba?
12:37.5
So, I think you're one of the youngest filmmakers in the industry.
12:41.2
Yun nga po eh, di ba?
12:42.4
I'm still learning.
12:43.3
So, people should also give me space.
12:45.5
I'm doing the films I like,
12:47.1
but I'm not saying that they are my obras na.
12:49.5
Just like what you said, Tita,
12:51.1
I need to find, you know, a mature voice.
12:54.1
I need to find what really makes me happy.
12:56.1
Magiging tunog may abang na naman when I say,
12:59.1
at this age, I've done a lot of films.
13:01.1
Some of them, I'm very proud.
13:03.1
Some of them, not so.
13:04.1
But that's the journey of a filmmaker,
13:06.1
finding your voice, finding your heart.
13:08.1
So, I guess, I'm still on that journey.
13:10.1
And a lot of people, they judge you based on their ignorance,
13:13.1
based on what they don't know about you.
13:15.1
And it's okay with me being on public eye.
13:20.1
we give people chance.
13:21.1
Your biggest grossing film was
13:23.1
Made in Malacanang in 2022.
13:26.1
Magkano ang kinita nun?
13:28.1
I guess combined.
13:30.1
I think it's 740 million.
13:36.1
Sana naramdaman ko yun.
13:44.1
Did it change you after doing that movie?
13:47.1
Well, it made my life more comfortable.
13:49.1
When it comes to finances,
13:52.1
I've achieved a lot.
13:53.1
What I want to buy,
13:54.1
what I want to, you know, own in life.
13:56.1
But what made me realize more is that
13:59.1
the influence I have with people,
14:01.1
I realized na this is not play anymore.
14:05.1
This is not a hobby anymore.
14:07.1
People take you seriously
14:08.1
and you have to do your crap seriously.
14:11.1
Kasi, Tita Astra, sa totoo lang,
14:12.1
Made in Malacanang was supposed to come out
14:14.1
sa Vivamax platform.
14:16.1
It's just that Senator Aimee said,
14:18.1
katabi natin mga parang bold-bold.
14:20.1
Pag kinlik yung Vivamax katabi ng pelikula natin,
14:24.1
Parang di ko carry, sabi ni Senator.
14:26.1
So, they talked to Boss Vic and said,
14:28.1
why don't we release it somewhere else?
14:30.1
Eh, during that time,
14:31.1
there was no other platform naman.
14:33.1
Netflix naman won't accommodate.
14:35.1
At hindi pa open ang cinemas at that time.
14:39.1
why don't we open the cinemas?
14:40.1
Why don't you talk to the Cs?
14:42.1
Why don't you talk to the clan of Henry C
14:47.1
I realized na playtime lang to, Tita Astra.
14:50.1
Alam mo, nag-shoot kami sa bahay lang nila sa San Juan.
14:53.1
Yun yung ginawa naming Malacanang.
14:55.1
Oh, yes, yes, yeah.
14:56.1
Because hindi kami naman makapag-shoot
14:58.1
sa totoong Malacanang.
14:59.1
Of course, of course.
15:00.1
Hindi ko alam kung paano ako makakakawa ng permit
15:02.1
sa loob ng Malacanang.
15:05.1
You and your big mouth.
15:08.1
So, ako, hindi ko alam saan kami mag-shoot.
15:10.1
Hindi ko alam kung paano ko i-shoot yung Malacanang.
15:12.1
Naisip ko, doon na lang, sa mansyon.
15:14.1
Kaya pala sabi ko, how come?
15:15.1
Sabi ko, they look familiar to me.
15:17.1
Kasi before, na-feature ko yung San Juan
15:19.1
sa dati kong magazine.
15:20.1
Na-feature ko sa Celebrity Living.
15:24.1
Yeah, I featured that house.
15:25.1
So, sabi ko, doon na lang kami mag-shoot.
15:27.1
Tapos, nag-shoot kami ng Tita Astra around eight days lang.
15:30.1
So, the casting, I get to talk to the cast.
15:33.1
Imelda's request was rufa talaga.
15:36.1
Someone towering high, tapos pretty.
15:39.1
But when it comes to Ferdinand and Bongbong,
15:41.1
I really wanted a real father and son.
15:44.1
During that time,
15:45.1
hindi pa nag-uusap si Buboy at si Diego.
15:47.1
Yes! Oo, totoo yun. Oo.
15:49.1
So, tinawagan ko si Buboy.
15:51.1
I called Direk Cesar and said,
15:53.1
baka naman you can do Ferdinand Marcos.
15:56.1
And he automatically said yes
15:58.1
without knowing that I'm offering Diego as Bongbong.
16:02.1
Then I called Diego and said,
16:03.1
Diego, we finally have a project.
16:05.1
You'll be doing Bongbong Marcos.
16:07.1
Young Bongbong Marcos.
16:08.1
And then sabi niyo, ah, okay po.
16:09.1
Without them knowing that they will be working...
16:11.1
Magiging mag-ama sila.
16:13.1
And then time comes, nagulat silang dalawa.
16:14.1
They finally talked.
16:17.1
So, ikaw palang may ang dahilan.
16:18.1
Yeah. So, sabi ko, oh, sige, okay na yan.
16:20.1
Tapos there is this history.
16:21.1
Tinry lang namin.
16:23.1
Tapos hindi ko po alam na ganun.
16:25.1
Maybe because the bashing was so, so loud,
16:28.1
it became publicity.
16:31.1
Grabe. Grabe. Grabe yun.
16:33.1
After doing that film,
16:35.1
siyempre minsan, is there a pressure on you?
16:38.1
Kasi parang it's either mapantayan mo
16:41.1
Parang ang hirap.
16:44.1
I always see my projects to be apart from another.
16:48.1
My only competition is myself.
16:51.1
You know, Tita Astra, I'm only 36 years old.
16:53.1
This is only my sixth year in the industry.
16:56.1
My film is fifth highest grossing of all time.
17:01.1
You can't ask for more.
17:02.1
Yeah, yeah. So, sabi ko, hindi ko na ano yan.
17:04.1
Sa buong karera ng ibang mga director,
17:07.1
merong director na hindi man lang nakaka-100 million.
17:11.1
So, ako, I have films.
17:12.1
I have films like that.
17:14.1
Yung Jowa Ball ko,
17:15.1
three weeks pa nag number one sa Netflix, 2020.
17:18.1
So, sabi ko, I can't be pressured.
17:21.1
I can't be pressured because for me, it's too much already.
17:24.1
Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sa sarili ko na,
17:25.1
oh, dapat mas ganito, dapat mas ganyan.
17:27.1
Because I'm so happy na with the achievement.
17:30.1
Of course. Yes, yes.
17:31.1
I think ang nape-pressure siguro, Viva.
17:34.1
Kasi gusto pa nila kumite.
17:35.1
So, siguro, siguro they try to pressure me na,
17:38.1
oh, Direk, we should have like this, like that.
17:40.1
Pumapasok sa akin,
17:41.1
pero lumalabas lang din dito.
17:43.1
I think it's more of not only marketing,
17:46.1
I think it's also destiny.
17:48.1
When a film is destined to do box office.
17:52.1
Correct, correct.
17:53.1
Kahit anong gawin.
17:54.1
Considering ang daming restrictions.
17:56.1
Kasi at that time, hindi pa talaga open ang mga cinemas, diba?
17:59.1
And then the movies was not actually doing well.
18:02.1
Diba? Alam naman natin.
18:03.1
We started 89 cinemas.
18:05.1
Then, on the weekends, we opened another 20 from 89 to 117.
18:10.1
Naging 130, 160, 180, naging 200.
18:14.1
So, I guess, we opened the cinema.
18:16.1
Practically, yes.
18:18.1
At saka, sabik ang mga tao, diba?
18:21.1
To get out of their homes, diba?
18:23.1
That comfort of their homes.
18:26.1
It's not, I cannot, I cannot, you know, monopolize the success.
18:29.1
I cannot say na it's about the script, it's about the actors, it's about Viva.
18:33.1
No, it's destiny.
18:34.1
Bilang direktor, syempre, kahit sabihin pa natin na it's the biggest film you ever directed
18:38.1
in your six years career in the industry.
18:41.1
Siyempre, bilang direktor, itong ganitong particular na artista, gusto ko itong ma-direct
18:46.1
o gusto ko gumawa ng ganitong klaseng genre.
18:49.1
So, pumapasok pa rin ba yung mga ganong klaseng ano sa'yo?
18:52.1
Meron pa rin po ang mga, of course, I have...
18:57.1
Oh, yes. That's what you call it.
18:59.1
Yeah, well, I have a lot.
19:01.1
I really want to give life to the scripts I've written.
19:04.1
Ang ano ko lang po, I don't know if those artists,
19:08.1
are ready to work with me.
19:09.1
I really wanted to work with...
19:11.1
Can you name them?
19:12.1
Yeah, I had the chance to pitch projects for Sarah Geronimo.
19:17.1
But, you know, nagulat siya, Tita Astor, sa mga pinitch ko sa kanya.
19:21.1
Parang hindi pa sa ngayon. Marami siyang restrictions sa contract niya eh.
19:24.1
A lot of endorsements that she can't, you know, say a bad word or tackle issues about that.
19:30.1
I want to work with Claudine Barreto. I heard that...
19:36.1
Yeah, parang nakita ko sa personality niya.
19:38.1
I met Clau. I told her na I want to work with you.
19:41.1
And I've heard a lot of things about you.
19:44.1
Sabi niya, ano narinig mo sa akin, Direk?
19:45.1
Sabi ko, mahirap ka daw katrabaho pero okay akong mahirapang makatrabaho ka.
19:49.1
Then we laughed at each other.
19:51.1
Ganun ako makipag-usap kasi.
19:52.1
Claudine, totoo ba? Mahirap ka daw katrabaho?
19:54.1
Then sabi niya, Direk, mahirap ako katrabaho kasi magaling ako.
19:59.1
So sabi ko, okay, sige. Willing akong maghihirap.
20:01.1
Parang na-challenge ka.
20:03.1
Because just like what I told you, Tita Astor, siya ang superstar ng panahon ko eh.
20:07.1
I grew up watching Mula sa Puso, like Mara Clara ni Judy Ann.
20:11.1
Yeah, yung Dubai nila, yung pelikula nila ni Aga at saka ni John Lloyd.
20:15.1
So I really want to work with, you know, Sara Geronimo, Claudine.
20:19.1
I also want to work with John Lloyd Cruz.
20:22.1
Oh, wow! Another good actor.
20:24.1
Actually, I don't make tangga naman eh.
20:26.1
Sa line na palang ng Viva, napakarami na eh.
20:29.1
Ang daming pwedeng pagpilihan doon eh.
20:30.1
I recently did a pitching with Ate V.
20:36.1
The only concern is the time.
20:37.1
My availability and her availability.
20:39.1
Parang hindi pa mag-tama.
20:40.1
Hindi pa mag-swak eh. Hindi pa mag-swak.
20:42.1
It's a good project. It's a good project.
20:44.1
Sana mag-swak ang schedule namin.
20:46.1
Meron pa bang kulang ang isang direct da-reliab?
20:50.1
When it comes to living, I gave my family a decent house.
20:55.1
They get to go to the places they wanna go.
20:58.1
I think as a son, that's very huge to accomplish and I'm really happy I did that.
21:03.1
It's a short a time.
21:05.1
Ako naman ang kulang naman sa akin.
21:07.1
Sa ngayon siguro, I don't wanna say it out loud that I'm asking for it.
21:12.1
Medyo kulang ako sa tulog lately talaga.
21:14.1
Parang kulang ako sa tulog at saka sa pahinga.
21:16.1
I really want to make vacation.
21:18.1
I'm from Subic but to tell you, for the longest time, I don't want beaches kasi I'm from Subic.
21:24.1
Pero ngayon, Tita Astor, parang I miss it.
21:28.1
Pero Lord, huwag naman mawala ng trabaho.
21:31.1
I just want, you know, a healthy, balanced career.
21:36.1
After the 2023...
21:37.1
Martyr or Murderer.
21:38.1
Martyr or Murderer.
21:39.1
After that movie, parang nag-slow down ka sa paggawa ng pelikula?
21:42.1
Yes. I told Viva I want to focus more on my other contract.
21:46.1
Well, I have streaming contracts kasi Tita Astor.
21:49.1
I have to do two films a year to be streamed.
21:52.1
But with my other existing contracts, with advertisements, with promotions from other...
21:59.1
I have kasi contracts internationally.
22:04.1
Directorial jobs?
22:05.1
Yes, directorial jobs.
22:06.1
These are all advertisements.
22:09.1
So ako, I try to balance it off.
22:11.1
Okay lang ako siguro magkaroon ng kaso sa bansa pero kung international ang kaso, parang hindi ko kaya.
22:17.1
So I have to fulfill it.
22:18.1
And I also have to do writings for political clients, promotion for political clients.
22:26.1
Yeah, I'm juggling and sometimes I'm falling apart.
22:29.1
So I guess, when I told Viva that I want...
22:32.1
I can't do two films in one year, Boss Vic said naman...
22:37.1
Dati, every month ka ha.
22:39.1
Sabi ni Boss Vic, nung nagsisimula ka lang, sabi mo kahit buwan-buwan gumawa ka, ngayon tumatanggi.
22:44.1
Hindi ako tumatanggi, Boss.
22:45.1
Kung kaya, gawin natin.
22:46.1
Pero I think it's not as free as it is before because I have a lot of contracts.
22:52.1
Marami ka rin political clients.
22:55.1
So nahihirapan po ako i-juggle talaga.
22:58.1
Kung i-rewind ang buhay mo, anong gusto mong balikan?
23:01.1
Maybe not to savor the moment, not to enjoy the moment, but I wish I could have hurt my parents less.
23:09.1
I don't wanna put them in so much trouble because of the poor choices I did before.
23:14.1
Maybe it's more of saving them than to experience happiness.
23:18.1
Because now, I see to it that everything they want, they don't have to say it.
23:23.1
I should give it right away.
23:24.1
But, you know, seeing my mother and my father cry because of the problems I brought them.
23:29.1
I wish I can go back and, you know, live.
23:31.1
I wish I can lessen it a bit because it's just so hard to see them suffer.
23:35.1
Pero that's part of your growth as a person.
23:39.1
You're so candid.
23:40.1
Masyado kang transparent.
23:44.1
Sometimes it gets you into trouble.
23:46.1
A lot of trouble.
23:48.1
Hindi ka ba natatakot for your life or parang, you know?
23:53.1
You know, I have a lot of death threats after siding with Aimee.
23:56.1
I have lots of death threats.
23:58.1
I have lots of nasty messages.
24:00.1
I have lots of nasty messages that I get on social media.
24:03.1
But you see, it's part of the job.
24:05.1
And I always believe though if people want to do something bad to you, they don't say it, I guess.
24:10.1
But I always keep an open eye.
24:12.1
I am very vigilant.
24:14.1
It comes with the job.
24:15.1
And I guess that's the pitfall of being so controversial.
24:19.1
You try to get bad image about it.
24:22.1
I'm not complaining.
24:23.1
I just have to live with it.
24:25.1
When people bash you, it only means na they get affected.
24:29.1
And as a provocateur, when you get negative reactions, that's also accomplishment.
24:34.1
Your message to your bashers?
24:36.1
Well, you just have to keep it coming.
24:38.1
Just like what I've been saying, bash is cash.
24:42.1
So keep it flowing.
24:45.1
And of course to your supporters.
24:46.1
Well, maraming maraming salamat.
24:48.1
Dahil nauutoko pa rin kayo at nanihiwala kayo sa mga contents.
24:53.1
Lalo na sa pelikula.
24:56.1
I always try to reinvent myself.
24:58.1
Giving you something new that is really new.
25:01.1
And that's my mantra in working.
25:04.1
Always to give you matapang, makabuluhan, at makatotohanan.
25:09.1
Pwede natin i-consider si Boss Vic your discoverer.
25:11.1
And your mentor as well.
25:13.1
So may message to Boss Vic.
25:15.1
Boss Vic, yung cheque ko po hindi dumating nitong nakaraang linggo.
25:20.1
Pwede pa follow up.
25:21.1
Pero I'm very happy.
25:23.1
Not only with the love and the support but also sa pagkukonsente.
25:29.1
No? Spoiled ako eh.
25:31.1
To be very honest, wala akong pitch na tinanggihan ng VIVA.
25:34.1
And I'm very very happy.
25:36.1
They always say na we're saying yes to you because you deliver.
25:39.1
But it's more of love, Boss.
25:41.1
Every time you celebrate your birthday, every time I celebrate my birthday, I wish you good health.
25:47.1
Parents, message to your parents.
25:51.1
Ang pangalan ng sister mo?
25:54.1
So I always message naman dem.
25:57.1
I religiously say I love them.
25:59.1
I appreciate them.
26:00.1
And I'm always here.
26:02.1
Kahit siya yung nasa ibang bansa, ako ang nagpapasalubong.
26:06.1
So we are in a very harmonious relationship.
26:09.1
And I don't want to take a break from that.
26:12.1
Parang I want to live it like that.
26:14.1
Na I'm very chaotic in my career but my family life is my haven.
26:22.1
Kumusta na ang lagay ng puso mo ngayon?
26:24.1
I'm in a relationship.
26:25.1
I'm in a five-year relationship.
26:28.1
After that Batanes thing?
26:32.1
May na five-year relationship.
26:33.1
Malandi ako, tita Ate.
26:36.1
Actually, I admire you for that kasi ang tagal.
26:40.1
I'm really a long-termer.
26:44.1
I mean, I don't get into a relationship na hindi ko friend muna.
26:48.1
It's so hard to be in a relationship.
26:49.1
So I study the person.
26:50.1
I study a relationship before I get into it.
26:53.1
Is he in the same industry?
26:58.1
It works for you?
27:01.1
It works a lot because you don't get to…
27:03.1
Walang conflict kasi walang nakikialam eh.
27:06.1
So, stop na tayo doon, tita Ate.
27:11.1
Well, thank you for always giving my sanity back every time I…
27:16.1
It's more of being safe place din.
27:19.1
He must be very, very supportive.
27:23.1
He's like my conscience eh.
27:26.1
Parang may bumubulong-bulong sa'yo.
27:30.1
Ay, sorry, sorry.
27:31.1
Safeguard baka naman.
27:32.1
Si tita A baka naman.
27:34.1
Feeling ko hindi ako sponsor na ng safeguard eh.
27:35.1
Pang malinis yun eh.
27:36.1
So, bakit si tita A?
27:37.1
Tutal nabanggit na natin.
27:38.1
And of course, your message to everyone.
27:39.1
Well, my message is please always be very supportive with Philippine arts.
27:40.1
Let's continue watching movies.
27:41.1
Though watching movies has become very like an event.
27:42.1
Hindi na kagaya dati na when you watch movies.
27:43.1
Hindi na kagaya dati na when you watch movies.
27:44.1
Hindi na kagaya dati na when you watch movies.
27:45.1
Hindi na kagaya dati na when you experience recreational, you want to bonding.
27:56.1
Ngayon, they can do that at home, via mobile.
28:02.1
Ngayon, ang cinema, event na lang yun eh.
28:04.5
So, patuloy po tayong sumuporta sa pelikulang gusto nating panuorin.
28:08.3
Yung mga hindi nating gustong panuorin nagpagbigyan natin na magkaroon ng space at pagkakataon.
28:13.9
Lalo na tong pelikula.
28:14.9
nitong May 29, ang first day po ng Soulmate, starring Kim Molina and Gerald Nam.
28:22.9
Ang isa pang nag-request na gusto niyo mapanood yan, si Atty. Tufasio.
28:26.9
Oo, si Atty. Tufasio.
28:28.9
Gusto daw niyo mag-attend sa premiere.
28:29.9
Naka, umattend ka, Atty.
28:31.9
Naalala ko umattend ka ng Maiden Malacanang tsaka Marty or Murder.
28:35.9
May gusto akong itanong sa'yo, anong isang bagay ang magpapayak sa'yo?
28:39.9
I cry when I'm very tired because I'm not, paano ba ito,
28:43.9
I'm really a fighter. I don't cry because I'm sad or I'm happy.
28:48.9
But most of the time, I cry when I'm very, very tired of hearing a lot of things
28:54.9
or maybe putting up with someone else's lies.
28:58.9
What makes me cry really is when I can't tolerate people.
29:02.9
Inis eh, it's more of, it's more of like that.
29:05.9
Yeah, I don't, I can't see...
29:06.9
Parang hindi mo may ano, may tao, di ba?
29:10.9
Yeah, being in the public eye,
29:12.9
something like that.
29:13.9
Sometimes, that's it eh.
29:14.9
Sometimes, no matter how I want to be very transparent,
29:18.9
I can't have the 100% liberty to express what I really feel.
29:23.9
During the campaign with Maiden Malacanang up to Marty or Murder,
29:28.9
I've been hearing things that I really don't like.
29:30.9
Especially from people in showbiz, from people I'm friends with,
29:34.9
from people I look up to.
29:36.9
Yeah, it hurts. It hurts.
29:38.9
When I get hurt, I don't cry.
29:40.9
But when I'm being, parang nafe-fed up ako.
29:42.9
Doon ako, naiiyak.
29:44.9
Sometimes, when you have this kind of image and you cry in front of people,
29:48.9
it's perceived that it's, you know, acting or there's something to it.
29:53.9
So, I don't think I look pretty when I cry, so I cry alone.
29:59.9
Maraming maraming salamat to Pandan Asian Cafe.

30:53.9
Just like what I told them.
30:56.9
So I've been seeing you alongside with all the other legendary showbiz writers.
31:04.9
I call them showbiz journalists because you earned that.
31:07.9
So napapanood ko na po kayo.
31:09.9
And this is really a feat for me.
31:11.9
Alam niyo mga kaibigan.
31:12.9
The first time I met Direk Daryl was in 2019 for the...
31:17.9
Para sa presscon po ng pelikulang Jowable.
31:20.9
Doon pa lang, doon pa lang actually sabi ko there's something in this person.
31:24.9
Pati ako na intriga.
