00:38Good evening everyone and welcome to another night on The Sweet Life.
00:41Right now Wilma and I are working on a project for the house.
00:45Wilma, I hope you can help me so that we can get through this.
00:51Do you do any odd jobs at home?
00:54Do you like it when the bulb goes out and you replace it?
00:59No, but my favorite is when the gate is painted.
01:02What's the color of your gate?
01:03It's different every month.
01:05Really?
01:06Yes, me and Asiana paint the gate.
01:08I remember when I was pregnant with Juliana, I painted the rooms.
01:13Really?
01:14Yes, me too.
01:16It's a good thing we didn't go outside.
01:18No, because I used the paint that doesn't smell.
01:22You're so social.
01:24It's safe.
01:25What do you do?
01:26Here, here.
01:29What do you do at home?
01:31At home, I just do this.
01:34When I get home, I say, good morning.
01:38And that's it.
01:40It's a good thing that I have a lunch, Wilma.
01:42Wilma, thank you.
01:43We're so lucky because during our mothers' time, they were the ones who...
01:48Did you do it?
01:49I embroidered, I sewed.
01:51I know how to sew.
01:52You're really amazing.
01:54I'm making a cushion.
01:55I hope you're right about the curtain.
01:57That's right.
01:58Come here.
02:03This curtain is amazing.
02:06What is it?
02:09You know what?
02:10We're so lucky because during our mothers' time, everything is so fast.
02:22You know what?
02:23This is Wilma's first job together.
02:25We will get better at it.
02:27Promise?
02:28Yes.
02:29Practice makes perfect.
02:31Yes.
02:32You're so good at it.
02:34Our curtain is beautiful.
02:36And this is for...
02:39For what?
02:41For that.
02:42For the hair.
02:43Don't include the white part because I might get tanned.
02:46I might get a sunburn.
02:48It's like a belt.
02:50Is it like that?
02:51I think.
02:53Do you change your curtains at home?
02:56Yes.
02:57That's it.
02:58I really like housework.
03:01This is ugly.
03:03You're not just tidying it up.
03:06You're washing the dishes.
03:08Yes, I'm washing the dishes.
03:10Really?
03:11I know how to leave the house.
03:13That's perfect.
03:15I discovered that I'm leaving our house outside.
03:20It's beautiful.
03:21I think it's not...
03:22I don't think it's beautiful.
03:24I just did it.
03:26That's okay.
03:28You know what?
03:29You know what?
03:31There's still something to fix.
03:34It's okay.
03:35Next time.
03:36Okay.
03:37What other odd jobs did you do?
03:39Me?
03:40No.
03:41Before I became an artist and a model,
03:43I worked at a factory.
03:45I made rubber shoes.
03:47Reebok.
03:48Yes, for a year.
03:49Really?
03:50Yes.
03:51I was a cementer.
03:52Usually, it's an assembly line.
03:53Yes, I was in the assembly line.
03:55What part did you do?
03:56Did you put the shoe lace?
03:57Or did you put the glue?
03:59I put the cement on the outsole.
04:02On the bottom.
04:04Then?
04:05Then you put it on the conveyor.
04:07One by one.
04:08In one day, you need 5,000 pairs of outsole.
04:13One person, 5,000 pairs?
04:14Yes.
04:15You just have to do it like that.
04:16It's beautiful.
04:17Do you remember how much my salary was?
04:20Minimum wage.
04:21Around 180.
04:23A day?
04:24A day, yes.
04:25So, you earned 10,000 for a day.
04:27Your salary is still 180.
04:29Yes.
04:30What else?
04:31What else?
04:32After that, I resigned.
04:34Because I was tired of the smell of glue.
04:37Rubber?
04:38Yes.
04:39Then, I became a secretary to my aunt.
04:41What was your aunt's job?
04:43Good morning.
04:44RC Electrical.
04:45Electrical?
04:46Yes.
04:47She made car air conditioners.
04:49Ask her how much my salary was a day.
04:51How much was your salary a day?
04:5350 pesos.
04:54Serious?
04:55Wait.
04:56You earned 50 pesos a day over the 180?
04:59Yes.
05:00With 5,000 pairs?
05:01Yes.
05:02Why?
05:03It's because of my aunt.
05:04Even if I'm late, it's okay.
05:05There's no pressure.
05:06All in the family.
05:07Yes.
05:08That's right.
05:09Yes.
05:10It's beautiful, right?
05:11At one point in our lives, we all had odd jobs.
05:14And that's what we are going to talk about when The Suite Life returns.
05:25Every day's a new beginning.
05:27The Suite Life.
05:29Every night starts a new night.
05:34Please welcome on the show, our guests for tonight.
05:37Showbiz reporter, Rey Pumaloy.
05:39Yay!
05:40Good evening, Ms. Lucy.
05:41Good evening, Ms. Wilma.
05:42Good evening.
05:45Katrina Halili, one of the mainstays of Lupin.
05:49Hi.
05:50Good evening.
05:52Good evening to all of you.
05:54And starstruck, batch one, Tyrone Perez.
06:02Where you are in your lives now, you're very successful,
06:06but at one point, you all had odd jobs.
06:09Can you tell us what they were?
06:11Let's start with Rey.
06:12What was your odd job?
06:14When I was in high school,
06:16actually,
06:18I was in grade 6 when I was in high school.
06:21My job was to sell vegetables.
06:26Okay.
06:27In the market.
06:28The market that doesn't have a roof.
06:31It's on the street.
06:32That's the market in the province.
06:34Actually, it's not in the province.
06:36It's in Libis, in Barangay Libis.
06:37That's where I grew up.
06:38That's where I was raised.
06:39I wasn't in grade 5 yet.
06:40What's that? Every day?
06:41That's every day.
06:42Just to have extra income.
06:46Extra income.
06:47And after that?
06:48After that,
06:49aside from that,
06:50in the afternoon,
06:52around 5 to 6 in the afternoon,
06:54I was selling ice drops and ice cones.
06:57Did you make them?
06:58No.
06:59We just get them from the store.
07:00Ah, okay.
07:01It's very heavy,
07:02and it's hard to sell ice cones
07:05because now, they use styrofoam, right?
07:07That's not.
07:08The wooden box.
07:10And you have dry ice?
07:12Yes, we have dry ice.
07:13It's heavy.
07:14And the handle is nylon.
07:17Nylon.
07:18Because it's painful.
07:19Yes, it's painful because we put a carton
07:21so at least it won't hurt here.
07:23And I was very thin back then.
07:25How old were you then?
07:26Maybe around 12.
07:2812?
07:2912 or 13, something like that.
07:30Do you remember?
07:31Ice cones are delicious.
07:32Yes, it's delicious.
07:33Because it has mung beans.
07:36Huh?
07:37It has mung beans because
07:38when we run out of 5 or 10,
07:43we have one for free.
07:44When you sell 10 or 5,
07:47we have one for free
07:48that we don't have to pay for.
07:53Aside from the free one,
07:54do you have a salary?
07:56Yes, we do.
07:57Okay.
07:58Let's ask Tyrone.
08:00He said you're a farm boy.
08:01Tyrone, you're a farm boy.
08:03You're so fair.
08:05This is what you get
08:06from the movies where you're a handsome farm boy.
08:09Where's your farm?
08:11Where is your farm?
08:14For us,
08:16excuse me,
08:17back then,
08:19no, until now,
08:20until now,
08:21we have...
08:22It's a family-owned farm.
08:23Yes.
08:24It's really ours.
08:25But we're siblings.
08:27There are 4 of us,
08:282 boys and 2 girls.
08:30How old are you, Tyrone?
08:31I'm the youngest.
08:32Youngest, okay.
08:34It's like this.
08:35My dad will get a boy
08:38or he'll be a farmer.
08:42But for us,
08:43my siblings,
08:45the 4 of us,
08:46I said,
08:47why would you get boys?
08:51We can do it.
08:52We can get a salary.
08:54So you're the one who's farming?
08:56So you're the one who's farming?
08:58Did you get a haircut?
09:00When it's hot,
09:01I get a haircut.
09:05What's your assignment, Tyrone?
09:07Because you do a lot on the farm.
09:10So what's the task assigned to you?
09:13What was assigned to me before,
09:15sometimes I really dig,
09:17I dig,
09:18I dig the soil.
09:20I dig the soil.
09:21That's it.
09:22Katrina,
09:23before,
09:24do you have Chinese blood?
09:26One-fourth.
09:27One-fourth.
09:28She's in Ongpin.
09:29She sells exotic Chinese medicine
09:32that's so fragile.
09:34How much is that, Katrina?
09:36About 200 per gram.
09:39200 pesos per gram.
09:40Yes, 200 pesos.
09:41Why is it fragile?
09:43I don't know,
09:44because that's the price.
09:47It's like a bird's nest.
09:49A bird's nest?
09:50Does a bird have a nest?
09:51It does.
09:52You're crazy.
09:53It's like a bird's nest.
09:56Okay.
10:00What does it do?
10:01What does it do?
10:02Why is it so expensive?
10:04For the Chinese,
10:05it's like a long life.
10:08So it's like vitamins?
10:10Yes,
10:11the Chinese have a lot of medicine.
10:19Is that why it's expensive?
10:20Do you have to collect a lot of birds?
10:22It's so expensive.
10:24Sometimes,
10:25the plastic one,
10:26What's this?
10:27A bird's nest?
10:28What's expensive?
10:29Both.
10:30It's made up of two birds.
10:32They make it up.
10:34It's so long.
10:35It's made up of rocks.
10:36It's made up because of the bird's nest?
10:38Yes, it's made up.
10:41How long have you been doing this?
10:45I've been doing this since elementary school.
10:47My grandma used to follow me to school.
10:52Then,
10:53we used to deliver to Chinese drugstores.
10:57My grandma used to be the one asking for money.
11:00But when I was in high school,
11:01it's hard to trust people.
11:03So I was the one asking for money.
11:05Do you do accounting?
11:07Yes, I do.
11:08I'm the only one who has a tupperware.
11:11It's dangerous.
11:12What if it's broken?
11:14It's a bit cheap to sell.
11:16You can sell it from 200 to 40.
11:19Oh, that's how it is.
11:23Can I ask you something?
11:24What do you do with it?
11:26Do you drink it?
11:27Do you dissolve it in water?
11:29Do you mix it in vinegar?
11:30Do you have a new costumer?
11:31I saw a program on cable
11:33where they mix it in vinegar.
11:36What are the highs and lows of your job?
11:40What do you like the most about your job?
11:42You used to be an iceberg
11:44and you sold sweet potatoes.
11:46What do you dislike the most?
11:48It's hot.
11:49It's hot?
11:50It's hot.
11:51Of course, there's no roof.
11:52Then, the shopkeepers will blow on it.
11:56If someone calls you,
11:58you don't want to forgive them,
11:59you say,
12:00Are you calling me gay?
12:02I don't know how to forgive them.
12:04Of course, when I was young,
12:05I wasn't like that.
12:07Oh, you were 12 years old.
12:09Yes, I didn't know.
12:10I was confused at that time.
12:11Really?
12:12But my shorts were small.
12:13I could see the ceiling.
12:15When I was selling ice-buckwheat,
12:17I was limping like that.
12:19Then, I was called gay.
12:20I was even angry like that.
12:22But it was small, right?
12:24I'm sure they buy from you
12:26because they're happy.
12:28They're so young.
12:29They're so young.
12:33I call them gay.
12:34Gay! Gay!
12:37Thank you. Thank you.
12:41What was the most challenging thing for you?
12:44What else?
12:47Challenging?
12:48Aside from the fact that sometimes,
12:49you break things.
12:51I didn't have any accidents.
12:55How old were you when you were doing that?
12:57I was still in elementary school.
12:58But when I was doing accounting,
13:00and handling money,
13:02I was in my first year of high school.
13:04Your training was good.
13:05So, now, in your job,
13:06you handle your finances.
13:08Now, in my job, I'm happy
13:09because even though I'm handling money,
13:11it's not like,
13:12I'm going to buy this and that.
13:13Because I was young,
13:14I was already handling money.
13:15It's a good training.
13:16It's okay for me.
13:18Tyrone,
13:19what did you like and dislike
13:21in your job before?
13:23In Bukit?
13:24I think what I disliked the most before
13:26was that we slept a lot there.
13:29In Bukit, really.
13:31Because we would water the rice fields.
13:34And you would wake up early, right?
13:36We would wake up at 3am.
13:38Maybe we would sleep there for 2 days.
13:40And the fields were really noisy.
13:43What does that mean?
13:44You didn't sleep at home?
13:46No.
13:47Because the...
13:50Watering?
13:51The watering.
13:52That was 24 hours.
13:53So you had to supervise.
13:54So you had to supervise.
13:55And you would put gas
13:58in case it would run out or overheat.
14:00So you had to supervise.
14:03And sometimes,
14:04we would switch.
14:05One would sleep,
14:06and the other would wake up.
14:08So it was 2 days straight?
14:102 days straight.
14:11It was really 2 days straight.
14:12And you couldn't sleep.
14:14And the fields were really noisy.
14:17What was the best part of your job?
14:19The best part was
14:22when you're really farming,
14:25you can see
14:27what you've worked so hard for.
14:29Especially when the crops are good, right?
14:31Especially when the crops are good.
14:38Interesting.
14:40More jabbering about jobs when we come back.
14:53Back on The Sweet Life.
14:55Let's get to watch people
14:56who hold peculiar professions.
14:58Watch this.
14:59There are usual jobs,
15:00and there are more than the usual jobs.
15:02Just like the job of a caretaker.
15:05Groomer, as in,
15:07you cut or bathe the dogs.
15:10You make them look good.
15:12Sometimes,
15:13there are jobs that require
15:15a lot of work.
15:17It's a lot of work.
15:19It's a lot of work.
15:21Sometimes,
15:22there are unexpected events.
15:24Sometimes, you get bitten.
15:26Did you get bitten?
15:28Yes.
15:29A few times.
15:30But it's all part of the job.
15:33Taking care of babies
15:34may be a labor of love.
15:36But for Lolot,
15:37it proved to be financially rewarding
15:39and glamorous as well.
15:41Baby child handler,
15:43or in other countries,
15:44it's called wrangler.
15:46The baby needs patience
15:48to prepare the baby
15:49in front of the camera.
15:50Not all children are applicable
15:53to enter a commercial.
15:55There are special skills
15:57or special requirements
15:59to enter a commercial.
16:01Filipinos are naturally caring.
16:03If we put a little effort
16:05to this chore,
16:06we might just carve
16:07a career out of it.
16:09There are children
16:10who can walk at that age.
16:13But what the client wants
16:14is a younger look,
16:17but they're able to walk.
16:19All of that needs to be
16:21rounded and formed
16:23so that the commercial
16:24will turn out well.
16:25We will pinpoint
16:27or recommend to the client
16:28that this baby is okay.
16:32Let's welcome on the show
16:34a person with a very,
16:35very interesting job.
16:36He's a personal shopper,
16:38walker.
16:39Please welcome,
16:40Alfonso Puroganan.
16:43Better known as Al-P.
16:46Al, we've heard
16:47of personal shoppers,
16:49but what's a personal walker?
16:51What's a personal walker?
16:53You do everything else
16:54other than shopping?
16:55Yeah, you do anything
16:58under the sun.
16:59Like if they need,
17:01for example, Gretchen or Tony
17:02needs some wedding gifts.
17:04Al works for Gretchen and Tony.
17:06So you're like,
17:07we always kid Gretchen,
17:09you're like her butler of sorts.
17:11In a way, it's like that.
17:12Anything she needs,
17:14she calls for me.
17:16Like she needs a wedding gift
17:18or a gift for her friends.
17:20So I'll be the one
17:21to think of what to give.
17:23And you'll be the one
17:24to shop for them?
17:25Yeah, like if Tony
17:27needs some shirts.
17:29They're very busy
17:30so they ask me to do it.
17:32So is it a 24-hour job
17:34now?
17:35It's not 24 hours.
17:36But you're on call?
17:37I'm on their beck and call.
17:38You're on their beck,
17:39but you don't live with them?
17:40No.
17:41You don't live with them?
17:42Yeah.
17:43So what do you do with that?
17:44When they have trips,
17:46you're with them?
17:47Yeah.
17:48In all of their family trips.
17:50What do you do?
17:51You're like,
17:52like there's an advance party.
17:54Yeah.
17:55For example,
17:56if they spend their vacation
17:57in the States,
17:58so I would leave.
17:59Because they have a house there.
18:00Yeah.
18:01So I'll leave 2 or 3 days
18:02before them.
18:03So when I get there,
18:04I'll open the house.
18:06So it doesn't smell.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Then I'll contact housekeepers
18:10so they can clean.
18:11Then I'll do the grocery.
18:13So it's full when they get there.
18:15When they get there,
18:16there's food.
18:17Their life is so fun.
18:19I really want to be
18:20Gretchen Barreto.
18:22That's so cool.
18:23It's so fun to be an LP.
18:24I'm having fun, actually.
18:26Yeah.
18:27I love to cook.
18:28So you cook?
18:30Sometimes.
18:31He has a wonderful restaurant.
18:33It's called KKK.
18:34Where is that?
18:35There's one at the Mall of Asia.
18:37There's another one
18:38near...
18:39West Avenue.
18:40West Avenue.
18:41The hito with burro is delicious.
18:43That one?
18:44Yeah.
18:45That's why he cooks.
18:46Are you a cook?
18:47Yes, I'm a cook.
18:48Yeah, I'm a cook.
18:49Ah, okay.
18:50But I also opened
18:51a Thai restaurant
18:52at the Mall of Asia.
18:53What's it called again?
18:54Chatuchak.
18:55Ah, Chatuchak.
18:56That I do on the side.
18:57Ah.
18:58So, LP,
18:59I'm a bit jealous.
19:00So I hope you don't mind me asking.
19:02Do you have a lot of money?
19:05Ah, yeah.
19:06I'm very comfortable
19:07with my salary.
19:08Plus the perks
19:09that I get.
19:10Well compensated.
19:11Yeah.
19:12No, because both
19:13Tony and Gretchen
19:14are very generous people.
19:15Yeah.
19:16I can't complain
19:17with all the perks
19:18and the benefits
19:19that I get.
19:20So you also buy
19:21Gretchen's clothes?
19:22Is that right?
19:23Basically, Gretchen
19:24knows what she wants.
19:26She, ah,
19:27she likes, you know,
19:29she likes clothes and shoes.
19:31She knows.
19:33So you're the one
19:34who gets it?
19:35Yes.
19:36For example,
19:37we're in Singapore.
19:38Then she says,
19:39Al, I like this.
19:40Can you just pick it up
19:41and get it for me?
19:42But she knows
19:43exactly what she wants.
19:44Or I know also
19:45that sometimes
19:46when they have dinners,
19:47they'll just tell you,
19:48this is the guest.
19:49Yeah.
19:50You're the one
19:51who's in charge.
19:52Yes.
19:53So they'll just say,
19:54for example,
19:55Al, I have guests
19:56for next week.
19:57I have 20 guests.
19:58She will give me the menu.
19:59I want this or that.
20:00So you prepare it.
20:01You put it all together.
20:02I put it all together.
20:03For example,
20:04I will prepare the menu.
20:06Then I will set the table
20:08with the matching pattern.
20:10With the linens.
20:11With the linen
20:12and the glassware
20:13and the silverware.
20:14So your job is stressful.
20:15No, because you're surrounded
20:17by beautiful things.
20:18It's really fun.
20:19It's so much fun.
20:20I go to Dangua
20:21to buy the flowers.
20:22So you put it all together.
20:24It's like running a household.
20:26Yeah.
20:27I'm curious,
20:28what was your job
20:29before this, Al,
20:30before you get this job?
20:31Okay.
20:32I finished hotel
20:33and restaurant administration.
20:35So my last job before that
20:37was I was a restaurant manager
20:39of Shangri-La Makati.
20:41That's great.
20:42So you know all the
20:43where to serve.
20:44Yeah.
20:45So my background
20:46is hotel standards.
20:47So it was just like
20:48an extension of the hotel
20:49to their house.
20:50But how did you meet them?
20:52Through a common friend.
20:53Through a common friend.
20:54Yeah.
20:55So they totally wanted,
20:56needed someone
20:57in his office.
20:59Someone who should
21:00organize his parties
21:01and dinners.
21:02Yeah, because it's a headache.
21:03And also help Gretchen.
21:04What they were just starting out.
21:06Help them with their
21:08dinnerware,
21:09his cutleries,
21:10and things like that.
21:11Okay.
21:12Things for the house.
21:13And so what's that?
21:14What if you get fired?
21:15What if you get fired?
21:16I won't allow it.
21:17You won't allow it.
21:18Can you assist me
21:19in that?
21:20Of course.
21:21I think it's a
21:22it's a job
21:23that's full in itself.
21:24Having two of the same,
21:26two bosses of the same,
21:28it's not possible, right?
21:30Yes, it's not.
21:31It's a full-time job for them.
21:33Okay.
21:34What are the values
21:35that you guys can learn
21:36from all your odd jobs?
21:38What do you
21:39yeah, what do you
21:40appreciate most?
21:41Maybe how you take care
21:43or value what you earn
21:45now.
21:46Because looking back,
21:48if you think
21:49it's hard to work,
21:51it's hard to earn money
21:53under the scorching sun.
21:54Yes.
21:55So you should
21:56value that.
21:57So that's what
21:58I learned today.
21:59And it's easy.
22:01For all kinds of people,
22:03because you have
22:04a lot of connections,
22:05that's what you use
22:06to communicate
22:08to them
22:09how to be together.
22:11Because, Wilma,
22:12they say
22:13it's easy to spend money
22:15if you don't earn it.
22:16That's true.
22:17But once you earn it,
22:18you're more careful
22:19where you spend it.
22:20Al?
22:21I'm the only one
22:22who can go back
22:23because I'm living
22:24the good life, right?
22:26So I always have
22:27to remind myself,
22:28I'm not going to get you.
22:30I have to be grounded
22:32all the time.
22:33Yes.
22:34Because you can't
22:35bring yourself to
22:36the luxury of life.
22:37Because you're so,
22:38what do you call this?
22:40You know all the fine brands.
22:42You know all the good things.
22:43Yes.
22:44Delicious food,
22:45everything.
22:46Yes.
22:47All the best.
22:48Yes.
22:49Why?
22:50I have to be grounded.
22:51Don't you have
22:52a brother, Tony Boy?
22:53You're crazy.
22:54He's already married.
22:56Tyron,
22:57what do you appreciate most
22:58about the odd job
22:59that you had?
23:00Maybe,
23:03you know,
23:04you get so tired
23:05at the end of the day
23:06and then,
23:08after that,
23:09you see the,
23:10you see the,
23:11the most,
23:13the highest,
23:14the highest of,
23:15your fatigue,
23:16your sweat.
23:18It's like,
23:19you can't pay
23:20for that.
23:21Katrina,
23:22if you were to turn back time,
23:24would you still choose
23:26that to happen?
23:27That you would sell
23:28at Ongpin?
23:32Why not?
23:33But,
23:34for now,
23:35I can't do it.
23:36You can't do it
23:37because you are a star already.
23:38What I do is,
23:39my brother stays here
23:40in Manila
23:41and he's the one
23:42who delivers.
23:43Because he's really easy.
23:45He's really easy?
23:46Yes.
23:47He just delivers
23:48to the house.
23:49Before you leave the house,
23:50do you have a list
23:51of where you will deliver?
23:52Yes, I have a list
23:53of where I will deliver.
23:54Oh, so you don't
23:55walk around anymore?
23:56No, I don't walk around anymore.
23:57You don't walk around anymore?
23:58Hey, you should buy that.
23:59No, I don't.
24:00It's a bit difficult.
24:02Okay.
24:03And the clients there,
24:04they don't buy
24:05the candy
24:06from the people
24:07they trust.
24:08Because there are
24:09fake ones as well.
24:10Oh, okay.
24:11There are still fake ones?
24:12Okay, we will pause for a break.
24:13Odds and events,
24:14more about it
24:15when we come back.
24:22porter
24:24shirll
24:37Welcome back.
24:38Now, our guessed
24:39who are doing
24:40a do-it-yourself table.
24:44It only lasted a short time, right?
24:45Yeah, it was a glass table.
24:46Now, we are lucky
24:47that everything is done instantly.
24:49Before this,
24:50we knock on this from scratch.
24:51Now, you just attach the screws.
24:56Screw.
24:57Rotate, rotate.
24:58Rotate, rotate.
24:59Tighten it, because it might fall.
25:02Man, hold this from above.
25:04Okay.
25:05Katrina, do you like doing this?
25:08The things you do at home?
25:11No.
25:12No?
25:13I told you we're just like that.
25:15I like to leave.
25:16You like to leave.
25:17I like to clean the house.
25:19I like to do this.
25:21What about you, Ray?
25:22Me?
25:23Here, I do cutie care.
25:26Do you like to do this, Lucy?
25:28I just said it.
25:29Okay, you do it.
25:31Ouch.
25:32I don't know how to do it.
25:33I'll do it.
25:34What's your dream odd job?
25:39If there was a dream.
25:41I want to have a company like this at home,
25:43because if you're going to hire carpenters,
25:45it's expensive, right?
25:46Yes.
25:47It's a waste.
25:48Like what you said,
25:49there are things like do-it-yourself.
25:51So, you just have to be patient.
25:53And you have to be more careful.
25:55Yes.
25:56And if you have ideas that you want to do,
25:59right?
26:00Like a style,
26:01you'll be able to do it,
26:02you don't even have to order.
26:03Yes.
26:04And polishing.
26:05Polishing.
26:06Polishing is what you do,
26:07if you can do it.
26:08Because if you don't,
26:09it's like you're doubting.
26:10You might ruin it.
26:11Tyron might doubt it.
26:12Tyron?
26:13But Tyron,
26:14if you really do it,
26:15you really polish it.
26:17Do you have a dream job, DJ?
26:20I really want to be a painter.
26:24Wow.
26:25But you know,
26:26when I was young,
26:27maybe 6 or 7 years old,
26:29my ambition was to become a manicurist.
26:32That's great.
26:33I told you.
26:34I was so jealous of my mom
26:36because she was doing home service.
26:38And I really admired Ms. Belen.
26:41She brought a bag full of nail polish,
26:45and there were things like this.
26:47I really said,
26:48when I grow up,
26:49I'll become a manicurist.
26:50I want to be a barber.
26:52I want to be a parlourist.
26:54Parlourist.
26:55That's possible, right?
26:56Come, let's ask together.
26:57Yes, let's ask.
26:58Let's be parlourists.
26:59Where's your mic, Tyron?
27:01Here.
27:02Did you have a dream?
27:03Before, when I was driving in Calabasas,
27:05I dreamed of being a thief.
27:07I wanted to see myself in a movie theater.
27:11Just in a movie theater.
27:12Really?
27:13Yes, just like that.
27:14So you had a flashlight in a movie theater?
27:16It must be nice to be in a movie theater, right?
27:18No, I was just lying down.
27:20I imagined myself in a movie theater.
27:22Do movie theaters have careers?
27:24They do, sometimes.
27:27Me and Wilma, we have a dream.
27:29What is it?
27:30We dream of being...
27:31Now, I just talked to Alpi.
27:33I dreamed of being Gretchen Barreto.
27:36That's my dream now.
27:38You're so social.
27:39You don't want to be Alpi,
27:41you want to be Gretchen.
27:42Is this a table or an aquarium?
27:44It's an aquarium.
27:45Wait, our base is bigger.
27:47Let's make it smaller.
27:48Like this?
27:49Guys, let's do this.
27:51Okay.
27:52I forgot that I'm gay.
27:54No, you're not.
27:56I'm not gay.
27:57There, Ray.
27:58I'm gay.
28:01There.
28:02We're so good.
28:03We are so great.
28:11Do you hire people to do odd jobs for you?
28:15How about you?
28:17Any odd job?
28:20It's hard.
28:21Like, what was the last one you hired, Katrina?
28:24What was it?
28:26Fixing the air conditioner?
28:27Yes.
28:30Come, let's sit down again.
28:31Let's talk.
28:32While you're talking,
28:33I'm going to clean our house.
28:36What did you hire?
28:37The last one you hired,
28:40was fixing the air conditioner.
28:42Yes, because it's hot now.
28:43So we need to clean it.
28:45It's dripping.
28:47It's not that cold anymore.
28:49How about you, Ray?
28:50What was the last one you hired?
28:51We didn't hire anyone
28:53because my dad is a carpenter.
28:54That's great.
28:55I want that.
28:56So he's the one who makes your cabinet?
28:58He's the one who makes our cabinet
29:00and he's the one who collects
29:02whatever is broken in the house.
29:05But when we were fixing our house,
29:07I was carving.
29:10Really?
29:11Yes.
29:12Did your dad tell you to carve?
29:14We're like masons, right?
29:16I had no choice.
29:18Even if he clicked a shot,
29:19I was still laughing.
29:21Your dad knows?
29:22Yes, but we didn't talk about it.
29:25Okay.
29:26You didn't talk about it?
29:27We didn't talk about it.
29:28My mom is a bit naughty.
29:30She told me,
29:31you need to get married.
29:34Your mom is a denier?
29:35Yes.
29:36So I told her, I'm a man.
29:38She said, no, you're a woman.
29:41We will pause for a break.
29:43We will be right back.
29:58Even though the best job,
30:00there's still a threat or danger.
30:03What will you do
30:04if you have an indecent proposal
30:06in exchange for a promotion or a raise?
30:09Tyron.
30:10For me,
30:13when Twilight started,
30:15I was a bit sexy.
30:18You were sexy?
30:19Not a bit.
30:20I was a bit sexy.
30:21You were sexy?
30:22Yes.
30:23I was a bit sexy.
30:24You were sexy?
30:25Yes.
30:26You were sexy?
30:27I was a bit sexy.
30:28Not a bit.
30:29You were really sexy?
30:30When it started,
30:33after a lot of people called me,
30:36I didn't know where to get my number.
30:38What do they say?
30:39What's the most indecent proposal?
30:42One time,
30:43when our film, Twilight,
30:45was included in Toronto, Canada,
30:48they said,
30:49Tyron, they said,
30:50you're leaving for Canada?
30:53I said, yes.
30:54I said,
30:55do you want us to give you a dollar's allowance?
31:00In exchange for what?
31:01That's what they're saying.
31:03They're saying that.
31:04No, they're not saying that.
31:05But I'm thinking,
31:06maybe if you accept what they're giving you,
31:10maybe they'll make me lie down.
31:12Right?
31:13Oh, Tyron.
31:14Yes.
31:15You're just going to lie down.
31:16I'm not.
31:17No.
31:18I'm just going to lie down.
31:19After you lie down,
31:20there's nothing we can do.
31:22No.
31:23Maybe if you lie down,
31:24maybe after that,
31:26the next one will be different.
31:28Yes.
31:29So, it's like...
31:30Then return the dollars.
31:31Here's the dollars again.
31:33He said,
31:34you're going to lie down.
31:35Go to sleep.
31:36Go to sleep.
31:38There.
31:39So,
31:40a lot of people are really...
31:42A lot of people are attempting.
31:43A lot.
31:44But it's just like that.
31:45They really don't have a plan.
31:48They don't have a plan.
31:49This is the exchange,
31:50you'll just be mine.
31:51There's no such thing.
31:53You have a beautiful line.
31:54It's beautiful.
31:55You're speaking Tagalog.
31:56That's okay.
31:58This is the exchange,
31:59you'll just be mine.
32:00This is the exchange,
32:01you'll just be mine.
32:02They're not saying anything like that.
32:03Oh, really?
32:04It's just...
32:05I think that's what they're doing.
32:07I don't know.
32:08Maybe they're just friends.
32:10But...
32:11Oh, don't believe in friends.
32:13That's really not true.
32:14Katrina?
32:15For me, so far,
32:16there's nothing.
32:17So far, nothing?
32:18There's no offer like that.
32:20I don't know.
32:21Maybe there's no...
32:22What did you say?
32:23Can I make an offer?
32:25Oh, no.
32:26Someone's sitting here.
32:27Someone offered me.
32:28It's you.
32:30Oh, me?
32:31Am I part of the decent proposal?
32:33No, she's the one offering.
32:34It's like no one's going to fall for me, right?
32:37Right?
32:38It's like I'm the one
32:39who's going to give a decent proposal.
32:40But no, it's true.
32:42Someone offered me
32:43to manage something like this.
32:45And then,
32:46a certain percentage
32:47will go to me
32:48to earn something like this.
32:50I was about to accept the offer.
32:52But I asked my friends first,
32:55the people I work with,
32:57what if this,
32:58what if that,
32:59and so on.
33:00She said,
33:01don't do it.
33:02So, I'm hesitating.
33:05What do they want?
33:06Like a talent manager?
33:08To manage a big bar.
33:11Oh, to manage a big bar.
33:12Okay.
33:13You're an industrial partner.
33:14I have nothing to do.
33:15You just bring in the people.
33:17Yes.
33:18You just manage,
33:19you just PR.
33:20Then, you get a big salary.
33:21Then, in three months,
33:22you get a car,
33:23and so on.
33:24So, why didn't you accept it?
33:26First of all,
33:27I thought about
33:28how long the bar will last.
33:30And I don't know them that well.
33:31True enough,
33:32when I didn't accept it,
33:35after six months,
33:37the bar closed.
33:38It's a good thing.
33:39It's a good thing.
33:40So, I said,
33:41God is really kind, right?
33:43Yes.
33:44Sometimes, it's really a blessing in disguise.
33:46Even if it's not like that.
33:47It's really nice, right?
33:48Where I am,
33:49what all their jobs were before,
33:50this is where they are now.
33:52Yes.
33:53It's really a blessing.
33:54Your feeling is really different
33:55when you came from poverty.
33:56It's really hard.
33:57Then, suddenly,
33:58wow, this is the money.
33:59So, you really didn't do anything,
34:00but you saved.
34:01And you must have all been good
34:03in your past.
34:04You must have really done something good
34:06for you to be this blessed now.
34:07Because it's like you're going through something.
34:08God is just preparing you
34:10for a bigger opportunity.
34:12It's like you're being trained.
34:14It's like there will come a time
34:16when there will be a big opportunity,
34:18you can handle it.
34:19Yes.
34:20Very good.
34:21Very well said, Mr. Ray Pumala.
34:23You've all come a long way
34:25from all the odd jobs you had.
34:26Now, I want you to take a look at this.
34:28Here is a man who made his fortune
34:30out of a very odd endeavor.
34:32Watch this.
34:33Two famous comedians
34:34went through a career shift.
34:36Little did they know
34:38that it will change their lives forever.
34:41Diego,
34:42after high school,
34:43he had no clear job.
34:45It was a long time
34:46before I had a show here.
34:48I really waited.
34:50Then,
34:51until Bubble Gang came along.
34:53He had a chance
34:54to work at a TV station.
34:56I started all around PA.
34:59So basically,
35:00I did almost everything.
35:01I did the script,
35:03I did the editing,
35:05I did the Egypt board.
35:07Until he joined
35:08the gag show Bubble Gang.
35:10I started with Bubble Gang
35:12because there was a sketch
35:14that I wanted to do.
35:15Diego became famous as an artist
35:17and at the same time,
35:19he became a production staff.
35:21I'm still a PA.
35:22Actually,
35:23I never thought
35:24that I would become an artist.
35:26I'm still a PA.
35:28And until now,
35:29that's how I feel.
35:30Diego needs to adjust
35:32to the things that
35:33he can't understand
35:34about his job.
35:35Why do you feel sorry for me?
35:37That's how it is.
35:39People feel sorry for me
35:41because I'm always in Bubble Gang.
35:43Until now,
35:44they have accepted it.
35:46Now,
35:47they have accepted
35:48that it's not like that anymore.
35:49They know that
35:50what I'm doing is wrong.
35:51I didn't dream of it,
35:53but it came true.
35:57John,
35:58or better known as
35:59Belly Flory,
36:00even though he can do it
36:01and didn't go through a hard time,
36:03he kept changing jobs.
36:05Before,
36:06I was a production assistant
36:08and then I became
36:10a supervising producer.
36:11Then,
36:12I became an AP.
36:13Then,
36:14I became an assistant director
36:15of SOP.
36:16Then,
36:17I lost a little bit
36:19in production.
36:20When he joined
36:21Nats Entertainment,
36:22When I came back,
36:23I became an assistant director
36:25for Nats Entertainment.
36:27After that,
36:29there was a segment
36:30of 30 days.
36:33That's where it started.
36:35Belly decided
36:36to become an artist
36:37instead of a staff.
36:38It was a disgrace.
36:40I wanted a wig.
36:41Then,
36:42Tito Joey saw
36:43that I looked like
36:44Bella Flores.
36:45So,
36:46I named myself
36:47Belly Flory
36:48for a change.
36:49From a simple life
36:50to a taste of stardom,
36:52from obscurity
36:53to popularity,
36:54you can never tell
36:55how your career will change
36:57even if you're doing it
36:58for laughs.
36:59Amazing!
37:00Amazing, right?
37:01Yes.
37:02You know,
37:03if he can do it,
37:04anything is possible.
