00:06 You're okay, son. You're okay.
00:08 I'm good. I'll just think about it on Saturday.
00:12 You're growing up, Luis.
00:14 Your mother was going through one of the roughest patches of her life.
00:20 Yes.
00:21 Especially when it comes to finances.
00:24 Their computation back then was about your mother having a stroke with an 8 million loan.
00:34 You heard this story?
00:35 Yes. That's one reason why my name is Lucky.
00:38 Okay. One story on why my name is Lucky.
00:42 My original name was supposed to be Nicolai.
00:45 That's right.
00:46 Nicolai is the right name.
00:47 Yes. I like the name Nicolai.
00:49 Nicolai is the right name.
00:52 My birth weight was 7.7.
00:55 So that's one. Lucky 7.
00:57 Second is when my mother passed away, we all know how the Filipino audience used to be,
01:02 and to some degree may still be,
01:04 that the leading lady, because our audience relies on availability,
01:09 the leading man needs to be single.
01:11 The leading lady needs to be single.
01:14 The love team needs to be together as much as possible.
01:17 So I guess it was the same way before.
01:21 My mother got married at the same time as my father.
01:24 That's when my mother's star power shifted.
01:29 Her demographic changed because she had a husband.
01:32 But when my mother got pregnant, that's when all the awards started coming in.
01:38 She won so many awards.
01:42 I think that's when she signed a 15 movie deal between three outfits.
01:48 In those 15 movies she made, she didn't get a single peso.
01:51 All of that was to pay the bank.
01:54 Get out of my way!
01:56 It's so hard in our relationship. You're the one who's always following me.
01:59 Where are we going? What time are we leaving?
02:02 What are we going to eat? What am I going to wear?
02:05 I'm the one who's always following you.
02:06 You're like a torpedo. Yes, master. Yes, master.
02:09 But she realized that when she got pregnant,
02:13 that's when all the movies started coming in, all the awards.
02:15 She got a Grand Slam in movies.
02:18 My mother loved scenes. This is the shot.
02:20 She even ran in the scenes.
02:22 She was just pretending to be in the shot.
02:24 My husband was so lucky.
02:26 That's why she was lucky. I know that.
02:29 That's why it's not a bad thing.
02:31 My mother is quite like that with money.
02:35 It's not saying it's bad.
02:36 She became more wise with money.
02:38 But she was making very, very bad decisions before you were born.
02:43 You know why? Because I was only 27 then.
02:46 27 years old.
02:48 When I had you, I was 42, son.
02:51 You were 42 when I was born.
02:53 I'm 28.
02:54 Yeah.
02:55 I was 27 when I gave birth to my brother.
02:59 Because of what you saw and heard from your mother,
03:03 at her lowest,
03:06 you became a child when it came to finances,
03:10 when it came to money.
03:12 Yes.
03:13 Do you know what symbol you used?
03:15 That's how my mother was.
03:16 Yeah, that's how she was.
03:17 On your right.
03:18 But even if you were like that,
03:20 you were right in the right way.
03:21 Right.
03:22 If necessary.
03:23 I made some bad choices in my life financially.
03:30 I trusted the wrong people.
03:32 Same as what happened to my mother.
03:34 But I said this in interviews.
03:37 It's a bit of a showbiz thing to hear, but it's true.
03:40 If what happened before didn't happen,
03:42 we wouldn't be having this conversation.
03:44 Everything that happens in your life,
03:46 good, bad, crying, laughing,
03:49 leads you to where you are right now.
03:51 If you change, chances are you wouldn't be where you are.
03:54 So I'm okay.
03:55 I have Peanut with me.
03:56 So I think all the experiences led me to that moment with my family,
04:01 us having this conversation.
04:03 And right after, I called my mom.
