00:05 But did your parents and Jane meet even though it was a long distance relationship?
00:10 Well, they didn't get the chance to.
00:13 It's a shame, right?
00:14 Yeah, because they were just there.
00:15 Right.
00:16 My parents were just on the island.
00:19 Doing their own thing.
00:21 And my mother was far away.
00:23 But Philmar's parents always show interest.
00:26 "When will I go here?"
00:27 "It's okay." You said it probably wasn't meant for this world.
00:32 But somewhere, sometime, it can happen.
00:35 But Philmar, I know you're shy, but being on a big island is very special.
00:43 Because I get hurt too.
00:46 You said earlier that in the beginning people didn't approve of your relationship
00:51 as if you needed approval.
00:53 But the fact was, she was very public.
00:55 She still is very public.
00:57 But now you understand her better.
00:59 Yes.
01:00 You understand her better.
01:01 You're able to get a reaction like, "Andy Eigenman's son is handsome."
01:05 [laughter]
01:06 Don't judge a book by its cover.
01:09 But you know you're crossing the line where the celebrity world meets.
01:15 Because this is not about Andy.
01:17 This is also about you.
01:18 You're a name in the surfing world.
01:21 So you're crossing the line.
01:24 You are a celebrity.
01:27 [laughter]
01:31 You're not used to it.
01:33 She's not.
01:34 Right?
01:35 Yes.
01:36 You're still not used to it.
01:38 But when someone's taking pictures, people come to you for photos.
01:42 Are you used to it?
01:44 Yes, I'm used to it.
01:46 It's nice to see when someone asks for a picture, you make them smile.
01:51 It makes me happy.
01:52 I can imagine in the beginning it was about Andy, people going to her for photos.
01:57 But now, I wouldn't be surprised if people are coming to you.
02:01 There are, right?
02:02 Yeah.
02:03 He handles it very--
02:04 Actually, when we were starting out, we were dating.
02:09 I was still living in Siargao, but he was always going there.
02:12 When we were going out, at the time--
02:15 Siargao became popular in the Philippines because a lot of Filipinos wanted to go there.
02:22 But before, it was already popular with foreigners.
02:25 I would just wait on the side because there were people taking pictures of him.
02:29 You were the one who asked for a picture.
02:31 Even me, I asked for a picture.
02:33 You were a fan of your husband.
02:36 I feel like it's not just because basketball or boxing is popular,
02:41 surfing is popular here in the Philippines,
02:44 but they achieved a big achievement.
02:48 That's what I told him because you can't stop the bashers or like what you said, the people that don't know.
02:54 I said, "Did they do what you did?
02:57 You brought the name of the Philippines to other countries,
03:00 and you became the number two best surfer in Asia."
03:07 They didn't do that.
03:09 Why would that affect you?
03:10 And it's surprising because we are an archipelago.
03:14 Surfing is natural, right?
03:18 Because we're the ocean.
03:20 It is more natural for us to go to the sea because we're surfing.
03:25 You said earlier that you go to bed at 7 or 8 o'clock.
03:28 How do you spend time together?
03:30 It's too early.
03:31 During the day.
03:34 They don't sleep early.
03:37 And it's not all the time.
03:39 He's a professional athlete, so he has a strict routine or schedule.
03:46 But in the island, we have a culture, right?
03:50 It's a province.
03:51 When you're off-season, you become laid-back.
03:55 You go out and enjoy yourself.
