00:00Because I'm not the type to get butterflies.

00:02Maybe I'm the one who gets butterflies.

00:09I feel amazing because the security guards I meet in the buildings, when I enter,

00:14Sir, I don't see you guys on TV.

00:16Huh? Is that so?

00:17Okay, okay.

00:18I said, it's a sign.

00:19But you know, I love everybody here.

00:21I work with almost everyone from the old-timers.

00:25You know?

00:26Why are you reacting like an old-timer?

00:29Yeah, from the camera men.

00:31I've worked with them before.

00:33You know, I love the working environment here.

00:36I didn't count the years.

00:38But when I counted the years,

00:40the people who tagged me on their posts on the TimYap show,

00:48or on the S-Files, or Party Pilipinas,

00:53when I see my colleagues, you know,

00:55when I see Jillian, she's a big girl now.

00:58Of course, I see her when she was young.

01:01You know, I grew up with them also, somehow.

01:04Because I didn't disappear.

01:06I've always been in the periphery of the entertainment industry.

01:09Whether as a host in the GMA Gala,

01:12or in the events that the Sparkle artists go to.

01:18I'm the MC, I'm the host, I'm the producer, I'm the one who makes the events.

01:23I'm there, in their periphery.

01:25In the karaoke room, in front of the band.

01:29But on TV, I haven't been so visible.

01:34So, this is what I say to the security guards, to the police,

01:37when they catch you,

01:39Sir, sir, like that.

01:40But I'm so touched and humbled.

01:43I balance it with equal amounts of love and passion.

01:47I start my businesses and any endeavor, any venture,

01:53with, do I love this?

01:55Am I passionate about it?

01:57Because if I am, the honesty, the money comes, it follows.

02:03Abundance is there when you really think abundantly.

02:08I balance it because somehow things fall into place.

02:12If you like it, there's a way.

02:15If you don't, there's always a reason.

02:17You know, equality, all of the above.

02:19Because what people don't know is I'm an early riser.

02:23But that's okay.

02:24But I really wake up early.

02:26Because when there's a sunrise, I really wake up.

02:31So, you know, that's why they say,

02:33Do you want to go home early?

02:34They're surprised.

02:35Can you go home early?

02:36I say, yes, even if I'm out.

02:39Even at the time when I was actively clubbing and building and putting up clubs,

02:45I was awake because I was taking my masters.

02:47At 7 o'clock, we were there on campus.

02:50So, again, I am very open and excited to host again

02:57because that's really my passion.

03:00But again, it depends on a lot of things.

03:03Is it popular now?

03:05Is the timing right?

03:07Do we have...

03:10There are a lot of factors.

03:14But I am very versatile.

03:19Because when it comes to hosting, the highlight is the subject.

03:24You are just asking the right questions.

03:27Like you, how you are doing it.

03:29That's really what a host is.

03:31If there's a host in your house, you just make them feel at home.

03:35So, whatever the room of your house,

03:37if your room is karaoke room,

03:39if your room is blasters room,

03:40bedroom,

03:41if your room is workout room,

03:42that's where the hosting is.

03:48So, anyway, I'm open to all.

03:51I love pressure right now.

03:54Because for me, pressure is something that really motivates you.

04:00You need to perform better if there's pressure.

04:08I always view pressure as something that can make you do things better.

04:14So, in the end, I allow the pressure.

04:16And my influence, I know that I choose to use it for the greater good.

04:24So, that's why I do a lot of charity.

04:27I do a lot of things that I use it not for vanity.

04:32I mean, people might think that this industry is vain.

04:36But, you know, I like to...

04:39Another favorite word of mine is empowerment.

04:41Empowerment, E-M, empowerment.

04:43But E-M, reverse it.

04:45E-M, me.

04:46Me, empowerment.

04:47We are all selves.

04:48Self-love.

04:49Then, reverse the M, it's we, empowerment.

04:51The final M, we.

04:53So, you know, it all goes together.

04:56Well, because I'm not the one who's always excited.

04:59Maybe I'm the one who's always excited.

05:02Something like that.

05:03Again, I see so many talented and very intense actors.

05:10You know, there are a lot of great actors.

05:13I love, I see the work of Bianca.

05:18I see the work of Miguel and Felix.

05:21They're such amazing actors.

05:24There, I see Ruru, all of them.

05:26Because they're already married.

05:28You know, I love more than who I want to work with.

05:32I love seeing the growth of these people through Sparkle.

05:36And how Sparkle has nurtured them, given them breaks.
