00:39 Hi, hi.
00:40 Hello again, Uncle Boy.
00:41 Hello again.
00:42 Hello again.
00:43 Thank you for having me, Uncle Boy.
00:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46 This is your second time now.
00:47 I know.
00:48 Yep.
00:49 And you're on your way to the second.
00:51 Yeah.
00:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53 Next week?
00:54 Yes.
00:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:56 This is the first time that I'm doing, I think,
00:58 an interview with you together.
01:00 Yes.
01:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:03 Yes, that's right.
01:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:05 Yes.
01:06 I've done a lot of interviews individually.
01:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:11 What happened?
01:12 What happened, Mr. Bascon?

01:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:05 How much did you understand, and how much didn't you understand about that situation?
02:10 That question is for you, Mr. Bascon.
02:12 Yes, Mr. Bascon.
02:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:39 And for me, it wouldn't work if our relationship was long-distance.
02:45 She would be staying there.
02:47 I really had to accept that the next day, I just worked and worked and worked.
02:52 I learned a lot from myself in the world.
02:58 I wanted to be a better person if we ever got back together.
03:04 I fixed myself first.
03:07 But it took me a very, very long time.
03:13 Take me to the time when you met again, when you were both single.
03:17 How was that?
03:19 I think, Tito Boy,
03:21 because we were working together, we were in the same show.
03:25 And then, we had a chance to talk.
03:31 That's it?
03:31 Yes. I was able to apologize.
03:35 We finally had closure after all those years, after a decade.
03:40 Where did this happen?
03:42 Where did this happen?
03:43 We just talked once.
03:45 In one film?
03:47 So, during a break?
03:49 Yes, something like that.
03:51 You didn't plan to talk?
03:53 I felt like I had to apologize.
03:57 Because I know how hard it was to recover from...
04:02 You're the one who was in the middle.
04:06 But I think, at the time, it just felt so natural to say,
04:12 "I need to say I'm sorry."
04:14 But you made sure that you were single?
04:16 Yes.
04:17 Because you were both single.
04:19 Did you have a partner, Meme?
04:21 No, I was single for five years.
04:23 Correct.
04:24 So, you had to be very careful.
04:26 Especially with him, because it's very important.
04:31 So, during that conversation, you apologized?
04:33 Yes, I apologized.
04:34 When did you try to do it again?
04:38 I think we went to the beach together with friends.
04:44 Yes.
04:45 But you felt each other.
04:47 You would know that, right?
04:48 There was closure.
04:49 There was an opening.
04:50 You know, we're right.
04:53 Right?
04:54 Yes.
04:54 Because you had a proper closure.
04:57 We can explore now.
05:00 He's laughing.
05:01 Mr. Baskon!
05:02 That's not funny.
05:03 Mr. Baskon!
05:04 That's how it is.
05:05 He's always laughing at me.
05:07 So, when did that happen?
05:10 When you were already filming?
05:11 Yes, we went out with friends.
05:12 Because we were done with our work on the film.
05:15 And then...
05:16 We were very careful with how we felt.
05:19 Because we were worried that it might get too exciting.
05:22 I didn't want to.
05:23 Correct.
05:24 I didn't want to rush it.
05:26 Because it was coming from a relationship that was chaotic.
05:32 I wanted it to be more organized.
05:34 I wanted our lives to be more peaceful.
05:37 We talked about it during that time.
05:41 If we could go out, if we could have dinner.
05:45 And then, it was going well.
05:46 Slowly, we didn't rush each other.
05:49 Did you change anything?
05:50 "We'll change this, this, and this."
05:52 Did you do that?
05:53 Yes, definitely.
05:55 Tell us more about it.
05:56 I think...
05:58 I promised to change.
06:00 I'm just kidding.
06:01 When it comes to...
06:02 Yeah.
06:03 Because, Tito Boy, I think...
06:05 In all the people in my life,
06:07 Joe is one of the people who understands me the most.
06:12 And most especially, in my bipolar.
06:15 So, I think he understands me more than I understand him.
06:18 So, that's really something that I want to be aware of also.
06:24 So, I really...
06:26 I'm really engaged in saying,
06:29 "Okay, this is me. All cards on the table."
06:32 And then, "These are the things I want to change in myself."
06:35 I know during our time before,
06:37 I didn't really care.
06:40 I changed.
06:42 I changed.
06:43 Joe, what about you?
06:44 For me,
06:45 what I changed was my drinking.
06:50 That's the only thing that Meme doesn't like when I drink.
06:53 So, during the time when we got divorced,
06:57 to the point that we just got back together,
06:59 I was a really heavy, heavy, heavy drinker.
07:02 I was like, "Hey, are you okay?"
07:04 I was so drunk.
07:06 So, during that time, when the pandemic happened,
07:09 I felt like I was rehabbed inside the house because I didn't drink.
07:12 So, I said, "My anxiety is coming out."
07:15 And I'm very happy that I'm with the person I love in life,
07:20 but at the same time, my anxiety is coming out.
07:22 And at the same time,
07:24 I saw the change in her because she was worrying about me throughout the pandemic.
07:29 And then,
07:30 of course, I was worrying about her because during that time,
07:35 we decided to have a baby.
07:37 I want to go to what you said about bipolar.
07:40 You're talking about bipolarism?
07:42 Bipolar disorder.
07:43 I've been diagnosed since, I think, 17 years now.
07:49 Okay. But, how is that?
07:52 Are you under medication?
07:54 Are you constantly going to your doctor?
07:57 Yes.
07:58 So, you really have to take care by really knowing the condition.
08:04 And it took me a long time, Uncle Boy.
08:06 I think I was at peace and I really had acceptance in my condition.
08:13 I was in my 30s.
08:14 And the good thing is, look at the dynamics.
08:19 You started to listen to each other.
08:22 Yes. Yes.
08:24 And I think that really worked.
08:26 Yeah.
08:27 Because how can you have fun? How can you laugh?
08:29 How can you be good parents if you're not able to take good care of yourselves?
08:32 Right?
08:33 And how can we do fast talk without doing fashion?
08:36 Right?
08:37 The reaction of the people is so sudden.
08:40 Yes. It's like you're doing a prank.
08:43 For you two, me and him, who's the most picky?
08:47 Me.
08:48 Who's the most childish?
08:50 Him.
08:51 Who's the strictest with kids?
08:53 Me.
08:54 Who's the spoiler?
08:55 You.
08:56 Him.
08:57 Who's the most expensive?
08:59 Me!
09:00 So much.
09:01 Who's the most expensive in terms of equipment?
09:04 Me.
09:06 Who's the cook?
09:08 Both.
09:09 Who's the washer?
09:11 Him.
09:12 Who's the cleaner?
09:16 Me.
09:17 Who's the most secretive?
09:19 It's like there's no secret.
09:24 Who's the first to get close?
09:26 Him.
09:27 Me.
09:28 Him.
09:29 What's that?
09:30 Me.
09:31 Who's the one who often refuses?
09:34 None.
09:36 None.
09:37 None.
09:39 Call each other.
09:41 Love.
09:42 Tigre or Leon?
09:44 Leon.
09:46 Meryl, 1 to 10, how wild is Joem?
09:49 28.
09:50 Meryl, 1 to 10, how wise is Joem?
09:55 100.
09:56 Meryl, I get mad at Joem when?
10:01 He gets mad.
10:03 I get nervous with Joem when?
10:06 Every day.
10:08 In the morning when I just bought coffee.
10:10 Describe Joem as a father.
10:12 The whole package.
10:13 Joem, what's your similarity with Leon as a man?
10:18 I'll get what I want.
10:20 I'm a man.
10:23 Meryl is the sexiest when?
10:26 In the morning.
10:27 Meryl is the one you get hooked on when?
10:29 She doesn't know what she'll do with her bag.
10:33 1 to 10, how scared is Meme?
10:37 10 being the highest, 20.
10:40 How crazy is Meme?
10:43 100.
10:44 Describe Meryl as a partner.
10:47 The best.
10:49 Lights on or lights off?
10:51 On.
10:52 I said off.
10:54 Happiness or chocolate?
10:57 Happiness.
10:59 Best time for a date?
11:01 Happiness.
11:02 Best time for happiness?
11:04 All day long.
11:06 Love is lovelier now because?
11:11 Because we're sure of ourselves.
11:14 Joem is a part of my husband's wife.
11:20 For example, you two,
11:23 you feel like you're stealing from your wife.
11:28 What will you do?
11:29 And vice versa, that's number one.
11:32 And we'll act it out later.
11:34 We'll see you two steal.
11:39 We'll make a scene.
11:40 Second, do you have plans to get married?
11:43 The answers will be revealed in Fast Off with Boy Abunda.
11:47 We're back to the show.
11:51 You have plans on getting married?
11:54 Joey, you answer that.
11:58 You're like a woman.
12:00 I need to let everyone know.
12:05 I'm still old school.
12:09 I can't just ask her.
12:11 I need to ask her parents.
12:14 I'll tell my parents.
12:16 I need to show everyone my beauty.
12:19 That's funny.
12:25 You're still old school.
12:26 We've talked to some.
12:28 How are you as parents?
12:29 We are very challenged in the toddler phase.
12:36 I'm already a parent coming from Eli.
12:41 The difference for me is that I have a partner.
12:45 It's so different from being a single parent.
12:48 You get to decide everything on your own.
12:52 You're the only one.
12:54 Now it's a 50/50 thing.
12:57 I was like, "How will I do this?"
13:02 I cannot say I know better because this is a different child.
13:06 It's a different personality, different everything.
13:09 I'm very happy.
13:13 I'm a very happy parent.
13:15 To be able to share also something very special with Joey.
13:19 Because I love Joey.
13:23 As a parent, I think it's more of...
13:28 For me, the sacrifice that Meme gave...
13:32 Because this is my first time.
13:34 I'm just observing everything.
13:36 Meme is mostly...
13:39 If he's saying 50/50, he's mostly...
13:42 When there's a decision, I just agree with what he's saying.
13:46 He knows better.
13:49 The sacrifice he gave his body, his time, his whole personality for Baby.
13:55 He breastfed for 3 years.
13:57 3 and 4 months.
14:01 It just ended last month.
14:03 That's the only thing I can do for her.
14:07 Take good care of her.
14:08 Bring her whatever she wants.
14:10 Take her out wherever she wants to go.
14:13 That's the only thing I can give for her.
14:16 Because he gave his whole body to our baby.
14:19 I know what you mean.
14:20 I can support them in everything they want to do.
14:23 Would you have another baby?
14:25 We want to, but not advised by the doctor.
14:29 Because I'm 41.
14:31 When our OB said...
14:34 If we wanted, we'll have another baby.
14:37 As in the year after.
14:39 Guido is not even 1 year old.
14:41 He should have another baby.
14:42 It was so difficult because it's his first time.
14:45 We want to really savor and enjoy it.
14:49 It's so hard to prioritize getting pregnant again.
14:53 When we're just enjoying the blessing.
14:57 You have this toddler in front of you.
14:59 And you have each other.
15:00 We were scared because it was the pandemic.
15:05 We were so scared.
15:06 Even with Guido, the time he delivered.
15:09 We were all scared.
15:10 Do you have a relationship with Maria?
15:12 Yes.
15:14 When we were walking with Maria...
15:16 I'm just asking because you're not ordinary people.
15:19 But Uncle Boy, our family is so close.
15:23 That's what I'm trying to say.
15:25 And you know how my family is.
15:28 Very maturing.
15:29 You're very together.
15:31 You're very closely knit.
15:33 So you're not overwhelmed?
15:36 Now, I'm not overwhelmed.
15:38 But in the beginning?
15:39 I was overwhelmed.
15:40 I was like a kid who was lost when he saw me.
15:45 I was showing royalties to everyone.
15:47 I didn't know what was happening around me.
15:51 What did you do to make him feel at ease?
15:54 I think my whole family made him feel at ease.
15:59 Because they're all old people.
16:01 He's just an ordinary person.
16:04 But it's different when you're coming from the outside.
16:07 I can't be like, "I'll have lunch with Miss Maricel Soriano."
16:12 But you know, Aunt and Papa are also crazy.
16:16 So you'll automatically feel comfortable when you're with them.
16:21 Let's go to the scene.
16:22 I want you to know, Joem, that I'm also a good artist.
16:26 I was the one who was stolen.
16:28 But Joem came back to you.
16:31 I understand what you're saying.
16:34 [laughter]
16:37 And I'm sad because Joem came back to you.
16:41 Okay, direct. I'm ready.
16:43 Let's stand up.
16:45 5, 4, 3, 2, action!
16:49 Where's Joem?
16:51 Who are you?
16:56 [laughter]
17:02 My name is Maria Dolorosa.
17:04 Oh, Maria.
17:05 I'm the one Joem loved in the past 5 years.
17:10 I heard that you're with him now.
17:14 Return Joem to me.
17:17 Is Joem really with you?
17:20 Yes, he's mine.
17:21 He's mine.
17:22 He's mine.
17:23 [laughter]
17:26 Joem, get out of here!
17:28 Explain yourself.
17:30 Tell him who you love.
17:33 Who do you love? Him or me?
17:35 Who do you love?
17:37 Tell him now.
17:39 Him?
17:40 Look at him.
17:41 Look at him.
17:42 There.
17:43 Contestant number 1, contestant number 2.
17:46 Look at us.
17:48 Forgive me.
17:51 It only happened to us for one night.
17:53 It only happened to you?
17:55 One night.
17:56 You're a liar!
17:57 One night.
17:58 One night.
17:59 One night.
18:00 One night.
18:01 I don't want to.
18:02 I don't want to.
18:03 I don't want to.
18:04 I'm afraid to get scolded.
18:06 I don't want to.
18:07 [laughter]
18:12 Flowers for you, Ma'am.
18:14 Thank you so much.
18:18 Thank you.
18:19 Thank you so much.
18:20 I haven't seen you in a while.
18:22 Thank you, Uncle Boy.
18:23 Thank you.
18:24 Thank you.
18:25 [applause]
18:26 Meme and Joem.
18:28 Naytay, Kapuso, thank you so much for your support.
18:32 For your love and support.
18:34 Let's support Meme and Joem in all of their endeavors.
18:38 Be kind.
18:39 Make your Nana and Tare proud.
