03:15Hello pepsters and welcome to pep live, I'm the welfare air Jerry olea
03:20Gordie ruler and collectively were called the pep toy
03:23Yeah, and yeah, I'm a Makasama Natin is an award-winning actor. There is better. Namit, Mina, Mahal na
03:30Pinag us up on the billboard. I held out shine
03:34Wala, but on and eat us up as a man. I'm in on the wall along
03:39So well done. Hello pepsters. It's an honor to be here
03:44Pep Troika, thank you. No. Well, Jerry Gorgie
03:47But I'm in Salama Poseidon at India Kuna Wala. I am NOT missing
03:53I am still alive
03:56So Joel soon maraming na bigla na surprise and I can't I don't know
04:01Don't go say on me sink. I don't know what I'm gonna get in a
04:05Naga, I don't want I had a bit of an attack on all that I have a hala in Balita. Nayon, it's an alarm
04:11But also to Tony and Hindi a commission
04:15Young missing is actually is an awareness campaign
04:19They will show you how to suddenly disappear from your loved ones because of a disease,
04:31a serious disease like RSV.
04:36RSV is respiratory syncytial virus.
04:42People are not aware of RSV.
04:49So we need to give them awareness that we should not be missing if we do the right things.
04:57Especially at our age, my age, I'm already a senior.
05:00We need to give awareness to diseases like this and people will be aware about RSV.
05:09To your senior.
05:11Of course, we're already seniors. We're not going down.
05:14Of course, a lot of people were tensed, Sir Joel, when they said you're missing.
05:18So maybe we really need to be extra careful.
05:22That's true. We need to be careful and give our health a lot of attention.
05:28You know, if you're a senior, your immunity level goes down.
05:35It's easy to get infected with diseases like flu, pneumonia, and RSV.
05:44A lot of people know about flu, influenza, and pneumonia.
05:50But we don't talk much about RSV.
05:54If this happens to you, it will give you a lot of complications.
05:59You will have a severe cough, difficulty breathing,
06:04and sometimes the complications will lead to hospitalization and even death.
06:11Correct.
06:12So it's very important to be aware about RSV because it's hard to lose your loved ones.
06:21It's painful.
06:23It's not just for us, but also for our loved ones.
06:27So we have to take precautionary measures.
06:30That's what the elderly say.
06:35Prevention is better than cure.
06:38How can we maintain our health? How can we fight this virus?
06:43That's right. Health is important.
06:45Actually, health is not that complicated when it comes to your health.
06:50You just need to eat properly, have a proper diet.
06:53Of course, exercise is also important.
06:57You need to exercise so you won't get a stroke.
07:01Of course, you shouldn't get stressed.
07:06Avoid stress and of course, get enough rest.
07:11Sleep is very important.
07:13But it's also important for me to consult with doctors about vaccines and vaccines,
07:22especially for people 50 years old and above, what vaccines are needed.
07:27Of course, vaccines prevent the disease.
07:31Let's not wait until we have a feeling and then we need to consult.
07:37We need a regular checkup.
07:40We need a routine checkup.
07:43Let's not wait for the disease to subside and then we need to get a checkup.
07:47So it's even worse.
07:49Like me, I have a yearly general checkup.
07:54I go to my doctor.
07:55One time, I didn't know that I have pneumonia.
07:58So I was walking around with a pneumonia.
08:02RSV, respiratory syncytial virus, is something that you can't breathe.
08:10It's very contagious.
08:14You can get infected.
08:16So it's important to get a regular checkup.
08:19And the most important thing is that it's not just for you.
08:23It's missing.
08:25Maybe you'll be missing your loved ones, missing those special moments,
08:31the milestones in life.
08:32You're missing because you're not taking care of yourself.
08:37So it's a wake-up call.
08:39Missing is an awareness about RSV.
08:43Everyone.
08:44For everyone.
08:46But for you, your lifestyle has changed.
08:50Of course.
08:51We're mellowing down.
08:53You still have work, Sir Joel.
08:55Your work is still ongoing.
08:56So what are the things that you're still working on?
09:00That's right.
09:01I'm still very active in my passions.
09:03I still do TV and film work, television, movies.
09:09And of course, in my other work, we have a business, JT's Manukan Grill.
09:17We're also very involved.
09:19And we're happy that our fellow countrymen, we've been here for 22 years,
09:26they're praising our product not only here but also abroad.
09:31But let's go back to when you started as an actor.
09:351978, Gumising Kamaruha with Lino Broca.
09:40With a national artist.
09:42First, first film.
09:44What was your role in that?
09:45Did you miss him?
09:47Yes, I missed him.
09:48Because I watched Gumising Kamaruha so many times.
09:511978, first year high school.
09:54We had a theater group in Bacolod, Yuma.
09:57And Peke Galiaga was our drama coach, teacher, and moderator.
10:02My mentor.
10:04So what Lino did, the crowd scenes, he took our theater group.
10:10So I was there in Bacolod.
10:12Tita Susan is also from Bacolod.
10:15We went to this old mansion which is now a heritage by UNICEF,
10:20and I was one of the guests.
10:30And one of them was my mother-in-law.
10:32Who was wearing real pearls and alluring.
10:35Yes, the costumes were real.
10:39Jewelry.
10:40Just like Aura Plata Mata.
10:42Your next movie, you're already a star.
10:44That's right.
10:45We're introducing one of the major breakout films for us.
10:49One of our major bondings is really with Peke Galiaga.
10:53We've worked with the best.
10:54Peke Galiaga, Aura Plata Mata, and then Unfaithful Wife,
10:57and then Loris Guillen, Init sa Magdamag,
10:59Eddie Romero in the Rizal series, even Mike De Leon.
11:02Yes, Mike De Leon.
11:04And even Marilu Diaz in Bayan Karnal.
11:07Even Ismael Bernal.
11:09So national artists, etc.
11:12The best in the industry.
11:14How did they shape you?
11:16First of all, I'm really proud that I worked with the greats.
11:22Most of them are national artists.
11:25And I learned a lot from them.
11:28They're filmmakers who know their craft.
11:31I'm an artist, but film is a director's medium.
11:38So you need to know the vision of the writer and director.
11:43So as an artist, give life to that vision.
11:48But you still want to be a director, too?
11:50I also have part of my passion.
11:53I still want to do an independent film that I'll direct.
11:58That's our passion.
12:00We shouldn't be missing out on that.
12:03So it's important that you're not missing in action.
12:08That's why you shouldn't be missing, Sir Joel.
12:11Did you reach a point where you felt like quitting showbiz?
12:16Because you were disappointed in something or someone?
12:19Yes, of course. There comes a point.
12:22I lost my job.
12:24Before, I was in a movie for a year.
12:28So you feel very down and at a confidence level.
12:32It's like you want to quit.
12:35But Peke, who is my mentor, Peke Caliaga, taught us,
12:39Once you go in, you go all the way.
12:41There's no turning back.
12:43So that was my commitment as an artist.
12:46I said, once I'm here, there's no turning back.
12:50So 1978, how many years was that?
12:53The golden age was 42.
12:55So 46 plus 4, minus 4 years, 48 years in the industry.
13:01It's only been two years, 50 years.
13:04So we need to be successful.
13:08Let's get a check-up from the doctor.
13:11Let's know the vaccines that we need.
13:14And moreover, you need to review the respiratory syncytial virus or RSV.
13:22That's important.
13:24Another thing we discovered about you,
13:26you were born 100 years apart from Jose Rizal.
13:30So your name is?
13:32Jose Rizalino Torre.
13:34That was the centennial of Rizal.
13:37June 19, 1961. He was born in 1861.
13:40That's why Jose Rizal suits you.
13:43And even Christos Tomo Ibarra.
13:45I'm very proud that I made it to Jose Rizal in Mike Galeon's film,
13:50Bayaning Third World.
13:52Let's get more personal.
13:55We see you at work, and you've been working a lot.
13:58But how do you unwind?
14:00And how do you use your me-time?
14:03Me-time is usually every day.
14:06I usually have 30 minutes of my own, one hour of my quiet time.
14:12When I wake up, I use the telephone.
14:15So now, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, clear cell phone.
14:21So I made it a habit.
14:23I go out, I travel.
14:26That's why we have branches of JT's in Siargao and Boracay.
14:30I go there for a site visit.
14:33But most of the time, I chill.
14:35We need that.
14:37How many branches are there in JT's?
14:39We have 40 branches here in the Philippines,
14:42and one branch in Singapore, and we're opening in Dubai in May or June.
14:49So we're trying to, or the humble inasal will be served on the international plate.
14:55Very good.
14:56Part of our mission vision,
14:59the Filipino cuisine,
15:02it's not just kare-kare or dinuguan.
15:05We're usually in Valencia, in Regal.
15:09In Mother Lily.
15:10Is it really original there?
15:12Not much of an original.
15:13The owner there, Vera Peretit,
15:16one time, Tita Gloria Romero was eating there.
15:19Tita Gloria said,
15:22i.e., this tree here,
15:26where the restaurant was,
15:28this used to be the gate of Sampaguita.
15:33This was our guardhouse.
15:36So they were reminisced.
15:38Until now, it's still theirs, Vera Peretit's.
15:41It's really successful.
15:43There are many who want to franchise.
15:45Yes, you bought it from Ma'am Christy.
15:47So how did you buy it, and what was your inspiration there?
15:52This is an ode to my mother.
15:54When I was young, we were 13 in the family.
15:58My mom was a terrific cook.
16:01So she said, instead of feeding 13 children,
16:05why don't we start a business?
16:07Because it's really delicious to cook.
16:09So she decided to sell lunch to people we knew in Bacolod.
16:18Bacolod families are classed away from La Salle, from Jane's School.
16:22That's where they get their lunch.
16:24For me, that was one of the first cloud kitchens,
16:28or a virtual restaurant,
16:30where people would come every day on weekdays.
16:34They would get their lunch, one or two,
16:36but Vera, there were a lot of diners there.
16:39So this is an homage to my mom.
16:43She taught me a lot about food.
16:46And also to get to know the Ilonggo cuisine, the Bacolod cuisine.
16:53Like in a Salkan scene, yes.
16:55So all of you learned how to cook?
16:57Yeah.
16:58Food was, the kitchen was the most,
17:01the most chaotic part of our house.
17:04And the most activities.
17:07When I was young, my mom would take me to the market.
17:12She would go to the market and buy a lot of things.
17:16So that the car wouldn't smell.
17:20When we got home, we would ride on the road.
17:23Because it was so close.
17:24It was six blocks, eight blocks away from our house.
17:27And my talent was to sell,
17:31while I was riding on the road.
17:33So that's why you stopped acting in Under a Piaya Moon.
17:39Like in Bacolod.
17:41After Oroplata Mata, this is the movie where you played Ilonggo.
17:46Correct.
17:48And you won Best Supporting Actor, even though you were missing in the movie.
17:54So it's important not to be missing.
17:57Keep working.
17:59Not just work, but our activities in life.
18:03The milestones.
18:04So how are you with your wife?
18:05Your wife cooks also?
18:06No, no, no.
18:07But she's a very good taster.
18:09If she doesn't want to eat at home,
18:11she would call the restaurant and ask for pecho and isol.
18:16True, she doesn't cook.
18:18And your daughters?
18:19Very involved, very involved.
18:21Island is now in Siargao.
18:25We have two restaurants in Siargao.
18:28And she really likes it there.
18:30They decided to live with her husband.
18:33And Mariela, who's also an actress,
18:37she's the one who's more of a negotiator.
18:40She's the one who brings the food.
18:43So they're interested in food.
18:45Yeah, yeah.
18:46And they love the company, the JT's family.
18:50So they grew up with it.
18:52So it's really part of their passion.
18:54So what's your whole take about not to be missed?
18:58For Joel not to be missed, what do you do?
19:00You have to take care of yourself.
19:04Wellness, self-care is very important,
19:08especially at our age.
19:10Before, I was addicted to my body.
19:13You know, we would stay up late at work until long hours,
19:16even drinking.
19:19So I quit smoking.
19:21I don't drink as much anymore.
19:23I sleep early.
19:24They say 9 p.m. is the new midnight.
19:28You know, I don't have much nightlife.
19:31But I enjoy it because when I wake up,
19:34I feel lighter.
19:36Because when I drink, it takes me 2 days to recover
19:39from a hangover.
19:40So I don't drink anymore.
19:42And health is wealth, they say.
19:44So the lifestyle really changed.
19:46Yes, the lifestyle changes.
19:47People also mellow down.
19:49But we also become active in our work.
19:52Like I work for JT's.
19:54I do movies.
19:56We do travel a lot.
19:57And you do advocacies like this?
19:59Yes, we do advocacy like this.
20:01Awareness.
20:02We are also working with the World Food Program in the UN.
20:06Feeding school children.
20:08We also do corporate social responsibility in CSR.
20:12We also do Move-Ed where we have scholars,
20:165-year-old children,
20:18who can't do it yet.
20:21So we have scholars there.
20:23And education for all Filipinos.
20:26So we start them early with good education.
20:28It's only 1 year.
20:301,000 a month.
20:31So in a year, you have 12,000.
20:34So if you have 10 school children, okay.
20:38We're also excited about the World Food Program.
20:41And of course, this one.
20:43This is about health awareness.
20:45So you'll never be missed.
20:47Oh, you'll never be missed.
20:48Nobody knows.
20:49Because anytime, right?
20:50But we should prolong our time with our loved ones.
20:56Don't do it not only for yourself,
20:59but also for your loved ones.
21:01You're not going just yet.
21:02Because we'll do a pep challenge.
21:04No one escapes this pep challenge.
21:06Okay, I didn't know this.
21:12So now, Sir Joel,
21:14we'll just ask you,
21:15but you'll just answer if you're guilty or not guilty.
21:19Number one, Sir Joel,
21:20did your director scold you?
21:23Guilty or not guilty?
21:24Guilty.
21:25Number one.
21:26Lateness, of course.
21:29Because when I first came to Manila,
21:31I'm not too familiar with the hustle and bustle here.
21:35There's no waste.
21:36I used to carry a map.
21:38So ABC, I was the only one driving.
21:40So it takes you a time.
21:42They call it Google Mouth.
21:45Do you know Google Mouth?
21:47You look for it.
21:48Where is it?
21:49You just ask as soon as you get there.
21:53It's not Google Earth.
21:55It's Google Mouth.
21:56Out of all your co-stars,
21:59was there anyone you got along well with?
22:01Did you have a relationship?
22:03None.
22:04Not guilty.
22:06Not guilty.
22:07I was guilty when I didn't have a wife.
22:13Of course.
22:14Who?
22:15Other people.
22:18It's the same.
22:19It's unfair to them.
22:20Maybe they have a wife now.
22:22But did you ever work with a co-star
22:25that you didn't like or you were angry with?
22:27Guilty or not guilty?
22:29Not guilty.
22:30I always work in a good mood.
22:35Even if they can't do it,
22:38I make sure that I'm okay.
22:41So I don't do grudges.
22:44I don't get angry.
22:45Because that's part of the job.
22:47I don't want to be distracted.
22:50I also ignore rather than give bonds.
22:54Next question.
22:55Did you ever refuse a project?
22:57Actually, guilty or not guilty?
23:00Not guilty.
23:02Guilty.
23:04Because everything you do is deliberate.
23:06You told me that.
23:07It should be intentional.
23:09I've dealt with Juday and Isa Calzado.
23:12When it's a Joel Torre project,
23:14we don't refuse.
23:17That's why it's automatic.
23:19That project is on the right track
23:21because Joel is there.
23:22I want to thank Isa and Juday.
23:25Of course, there are some projects
23:28that don't really suit you.
23:29Especially now that I have children
23:32who are pregnant.
23:35Divamax is prohibited for me.
23:39But you also had sex, right?
23:42Straight or plastic?
23:44It's hot in Magdama.
23:47If it's from Seiko,
23:48it must be good.
23:50I'm still young.
23:52I'm still young.
23:54I'm still young.
23:59Did you use being Joel Torre
24:02to get favors?
24:03Guilty or not guilty?
24:05Not guilty.
24:06For a small parking space.
24:10Sir, here.
24:12It's the fringe benefits
24:13of our work.
24:15But you've reached a status
24:17where there's respect for you.
24:18How do you feel?
24:19Respect is very important.
24:21It's one word that I say
24:23that I took care of.
24:25Because my father
24:27took care of me
24:30in his deathbed.
24:32Joel, remember,
24:33you only have one name.
24:36And make sure you take care of it.
24:39So I carry that.
24:42Like JT's.
24:44That's my name.
24:46And then you have to flog,
24:48tell everyone to follow you
24:49in your social media accounts.
24:51That's your name.
24:52What's your social media account, sir?
24:53Jose Rizalino Torre,
24:56which is my real full name.
24:58My nickname is Joel.
24:59Jose Rizalino Torre.
25:01And JT's Manukan Grill.
25:03Because our activities are there.
25:07If we have projects,
25:09we're there.
25:10And some others,
25:11on TikTok, Instagram.
25:13We have people doing it for us.
25:16But on Instagram,
25:18it's really mine.
25:19On Facebook,
25:20and what else?
25:22Whatever media platform we have,
25:24we do it for our business.
25:27It's a business
25:28because this is the medium now.
25:30The medium is the message.
25:32If it's Marshall Manukan,
25:34it's social media now.
25:35On behalf of PEP Troika,
25:36thank you very much.
25:37It's our honor to be with you, sir.
25:39Thank you very much.
25:40Thank you very much, Troika.
