00:10 You don't think about it, but your wife thinks about it.
00:13 We always pray.
00:15 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:20 Over the phone, we pray.
00:22 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:25 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:27 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:31 Everybody knows how influential,
00:33 everybody knows how you can influence people's minds by the work that you do.
00:38 Have you ever had a chance in your career
00:41 that someone tried to attack you to affect the news?
00:46 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:48 What stands out in your mind, Rafi?
00:50 Of course, it's not a big deal,
00:54 but sadly, it happened before.
00:57 It happened.
00:59 Maybe we established ourselves.
01:01 At first, they tried to attack us,
01:03 and when they knew that we're not like that,
01:05 they stopped attacking us.
01:06 What's that? Like, they'll pay you?
01:08 Will you give them money?
01:09 Will you stop the story?
01:11 Or slant it towards a certain direction?
01:13 To make the story come out.
01:14 To make the story come out?
01:16 Yes, normally.
01:17 Sometimes, they don't say anything at all.
01:19 They just give.
01:20 It's like normal.
01:21 Okay.
01:22 Which is very sad.
01:23 When you establish yourself that you're not like that,
01:26 the journalists will stop.
01:28 But the integrity will always be affected.
01:31 And you'll think that that money will be spent.
01:34 It's your integrity.
01:35 Right.
01:36 And that integrity, Maris, you understand.
01:39 When you were running for the presidency of the Student Council
01:42 at the University of the Philippines,
01:44 that passion was there.
01:46 What were you thinking during that time?
01:48 Did you want to be a newscaster?
01:50 Did you want to get involved in the news?
01:52 Or did you want to be an artist?
01:54 No, no, no.
01:55 Not really?
01:56 Not really.
01:57 You weren't really excited?
01:58 You weren't really excited that you're beautiful and you can be an artist?
02:01 When I was in college,
02:02 someone invited me to join the Bini-Bining Filipinas.
02:05 But it wasn't really for me.
02:08 First of all, I couldn't wear two-piece.
02:10 So, during those times?
02:13 So, during those times, I was encouraged by my colleagues.
02:17 At that time, I was the number one counselor in the University Student Council.
02:21 And then after that, I was supposed to run for vice chairman.
02:24 But at the last minute, our chairman suddenly backed out.
02:30 And then I was asked to run for the chairmanship.
02:34 But at that time, I was just thinking about my colleagues who encouraged me.
02:39 But my mind was already for reporting.
02:42 At that time, I was already a graduate.
02:45 If I won that chairmanship, I would stay for another semester.
02:51 But at that time, I was already a graduate.
02:53 And at that time, I really wanted to be a reporter.
02:56 I wanted to join the GMA Center.
02:58 Wow.
02:59 It's so nice because you're able to connect the dots when you look back, right?
03:03 When you're doing voicing for DATS Entertainment,
03:05 what was playing in your mind, Rafi, during that time?
03:09 At that time, I was in college.
03:11 The voice talent of DATS Entertainment was absent.
03:15 We couldn't get anyone.
03:16 Even Director Perry, the floor director,
03:19 Yes.
03:20 So I was panicking because it was live at that time.
03:23 Who can do the voice?
03:24 My classmates taught me because I was doing voice at school.
03:27 So we tried it.
03:29 "Voice this one. Let's welcome."
03:31 "You can do it, too."
03:34 I did that too.
03:35 Yes.
03:36 I did that too.
03:37 I'm thankful for all the biscuits.
03:39 It's all true.
03:40 I also did that.
03:41 It's hard to read what's being written in the edit board.
03:45 But you have to modulate your voice.
03:47 It was a pleasant experience.
03:48 Anton?
