00:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:09 And welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

00:16 [APPLAUSE]

00:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:20 Welcome to the program.

00:27 [APPLAUSE]

00:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:34 Please welcome my very special guest, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:37 Janice DeVillette.

00:38 [APPLAUSE]

00:40 I miss you.

00:42 I miss you more.

00:43 I miss you.

00:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:46 Of course.

00:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:48 I thank you.

00:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:51 That's music to any woman's ears.

00:53 Of course.

00:53 Thank you.

00:55 And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

00:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:59 I'm OK.

01:00 I'm good.

01:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:02 I'm talking to the original soap opera princess.

01:05 [APPLAUSE]

01:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:12 Floor de Luna Days.

01:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:17 When I think about it, I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:22 I was just happy, fun, playing.

01:25 And then [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I get the toy.

01:30 So yes, I was happy.

01:32 I get the toy.

01:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:35 I got it from sources that you were originally

01:40 supposed to play--

01:42 Wilma.

01:43 Wilma, the contrabida.

01:45 To Julie.

01:46 Yes.

01:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:49 Originally, I was supposed to play Wilma

01:51 because Julie was going to be Floor de Luna.

01:54 We're talking about Julie Vega.

01:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:59 Because at that time, she already

02:01 did [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] And she was under contract,

02:07 I think, with the film studio.

02:08 So she couldn't do that.

02:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:15 How was that friendship or even rivalry, at least,

02:19 on screen with Julie Vega?

02:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:24 We weren't really thinking of the competition.

02:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:30 We never thought of it that way.

02:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:34 I was doing Floor de Luna.

02:35 She was doing Annalisa.

02:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:38 But when we were together, when we do movies together

02:41 for regal, we were friends.

02:42 We were OK.

02:43 We'd get along.

02:45 We'd actually have play dates, if that's

02:49 what you call it, play dates.

02:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:01 I'm talking about not just Tito Ronyo, not just Danny

03:05 Jalsita, Peke Galliaga, Broca, you had Bernal.

03:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:15 Now that I think about it, when I look at my filmography--

03:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:20 --I think, wow, I am really proud of my roster of directors

03:26 that I've worked with.

03:27 Most of them are not here anymore.

03:29 So the younger generation--

03:31 Some are national artists.

03:32 Some are national artists.

03:33 And some of them, the younger generation

03:36 will never get to work with and experience working with it.

03:41 And I've worked with them.

03:43 Let's talk about their styles.

03:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:57 Or what you can do as an actress.

03:58 So normally, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:00 the director will make you do a rehearsal.

04:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:11 He had me do my full lines.

04:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:17 With blocking and with feelings.

04:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:24 Rehearsals it, though.

04:25 Rehearsal.

04:26 OK.

04:27 And then that was the first day.

04:29 The following days, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:34 Like, he brings you to spaces.

04:35 Like, for example, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:37 If it's four lines, two, three minute monologue,

04:41 for example, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:42 I was walking.

04:44 Walking?

04:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:45 We were walking.

04:46 We were walking.

04:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:48 Walking, and then?

04:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:51 Cheetos, he doesn't motivate you.

04:54 He doesn't tell you, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:00 That's not my job.

05:00 I'm a director.

05:01 You're an actress.

05:02 That's your job.

05:02 Let's talk about Shalsita.

05:04 Shalsita.

05:05 See, Shalsita, you just show up.

05:08 He'll call you.

05:09 Oh, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:12 He'll ask my mom and my dad, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:14 OK.

05:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:16 You don't know what's going to happen.

05:19 OK.

05:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:21 And then you don't even have a script.

05:31 All right.

05:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:34 You don't have a script.

05:35 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:39 So memorize [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:41 Then he asks you to rehearse again.

05:44 He doesn't give you the same lines.

05:45 He changes the lines that you just memorized.

05:49 OK.

05:50 Then finally, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:54 It has to feel right.

05:56 It has to sound right.

05:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:00 Just flows from I don't know where.

06:03 Let's go to Peke Galiaga.

06:05 See, Peke.

06:07 See, Peke, he is a big fan of not acting.

06:12 Acting, but not acting.

06:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:15 Oh, yeah.

06:17 How do you do that, Janice?

06:18 How do you not act an acting part?

06:22 I cannot answer.

06:23 [LAUGHTER]

06:23 I don't know how to answer that.

06:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:29 That's why I always say that one of the hardest jobs in this

06:32 world is being an actor.

06:35 Lino, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:37 National Artist for Film, Lino Broca.

06:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:43 I think I failed Lino.

06:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:48 Because when we were doing Flor de Luna,

06:49 and then when I started doing movies,

06:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:56 To produce tears, OK?

06:58 I produce a lot of them.

07:00 So at times, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:14 Maybe hearing it so many times, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:22 And on that day, I wasn't even able to produce not one tear.

07:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:27 Not one tear.

07:29 Can you imagine how frustrating and how

07:32 scared and embarrassed I was?

07:36 But of course, I was only 15.

07:37 But still.

07:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:42 No, because he said, OK, good.

07:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:50 Doesn't matter.

07:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I saw the feelings.

07:54 As long as they were there, it's fine.

07:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:59 Big moment.

08:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:05 Is you listen and you follow.

08:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:18 As in literally, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:25 And you will--

08:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:30 You'll have to do it because that's who he is.

08:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:37 As an actor, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:43 Discipline.

08:45 Discipline, listening, and coming on time.

08:53 That's very true.

08:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

08:59 You know, my 8 AM on the set will always be 7 30.

09:03 There are times [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

09:07 Because for me, the biggest disrespect to another person

09:14 is when you don't show up on time.

09:17 I agree.

09:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

09:21 And we're about to do it.

09:22 [CHEERING]

09:25 OK.

09:26 Janine.

09:27 I did my research.

09:28 I did my research.

09:30 Of course.

09:31 We have two minutes to do this, and our time begins now.

09:33 Horror, drama.

09:35 Drama.

09:36 Flor de Luna, Rosenda.

09:38 Rosenda.

09:39 14 going steady or life begins at 40?

09:43 Life begins at 40.

09:44 Moments of love or truly?

09:48 Truly.

09:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

09:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

09:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:01 Adobo.

10:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:09 [LAUGHTER]

10:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:22 Best actress, best cook.

10:25 Best cook.

10:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:31 Cell phone.

10:33 Kumot.

10:35 Charger.

10:37 Laugh trip, road trip.

10:39 Road trip.

10:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:43 Secretive.

10:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:52 It's a CR.

10:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

10:58 Next lifetime.

11:00 Your guilty pleasure.

11:02 Watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

11:05 Lights on or lights off?

11:07 Lights off.

11:07 Happiness or chocolates?

11:09 Chocolates.

11:10 Best time for happiness.

11:11 What is happiness?

11:17 I am Catherine Janice de Belen, and I am.

11:21 I am Catherine Janice de Belen, and yes, I am human.

11:25 Oh.

11:26 [APPLAUSE]

11:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

11:30 Number one, how important are awards to you, Janice?

11:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

11:38 Are you still willing?

11:41 Do you even think about getting married again?

11:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

11:46 Fast Talk with Boy.

11:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]

11:49 Back in the show with Janice.

11:53 Let's talk about awards.

11:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

11:57 Awards, I've never really made it as my goal.

12:04 I just always do your 100%, no matter what it is.

12:09 If you win an award for it, thank you.

12:11 It's a bonus to me.

12:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

12:15 You've got a lot of nominations.

12:17 You're one of the most nominated actress.

12:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

12:22 Because it is still a matter of taste.

12:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

12:27 There are jurors.

12:29 There are a pool of people who will watch your work.

12:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

12:35 If they like it or not.

12:37 It's a matter of taste.

12:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

12:41 I did a good job.

12:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

12:52 It brings you down harder.

12:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

13:05 Maybe I'm in a different phase of my life

13:07 because I'm not getting any younger.

13:09 But it doesn't seem much different from the way

13:14 it was last 10 years ago.

13:16 OK.

13:16 But what phase is that?

13:18 You have children.

13:19 You have work.

13:21 My children are all grown up.

13:23 My youngest is 25 years old.

13:28 So pretty soon, I'm going to be an empty nester.

13:32 I'm a grandma to four children.

13:35 So I'm good.

13:36 OK.

13:37 This is not in the present tense.

13:39 This can be a [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

14:05 Everybody wanted to be Janice de Belen.

14:07 Oh my god, I know.

14:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

14:13 Yeah, people still tell me about that.

14:15 Up to this day?

14:15 Up to this day.

14:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

14:26 What was your view of men?

14:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

14:36 I never had a very deep view of those things.

14:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

14:50 And then when it fails, then you try and love again.

14:53 Then it fails.

14:54 And OK, maybe I should stop doing this.

14:58 OK.

14:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

15:02 If you were to write your epitaph,

15:05 in the context of men--

15:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

15:09 [LAUGHTER]

15:13 No, because--

15:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

15:18 What is your all-time favorite quote?

15:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

15:23 Which is?

15:24 Love yourself.

15:26 So I think as we go through life, we forget ourselves.

15:30 It doesn't matter what.

15:32 Or [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] are your children.

15:39 And then you forget yourself.

15:41 Because when your children leave home, when they leave the nest,

15:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

15:54 And then boyfriends, you tend to give everything

15:57 to your boyfriends or to whoever it is that you're with.

16:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

16:02 And you know, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

16:09 You'll be left in pieces.

16:11 Are you too hurt?

16:12 In the words of Bob, are you too broken to fall in love again?

16:17 I've never really thought of that, too broken.

16:20 But now that you brought it up, I think I'm broken enough.

16:23 I've been broken enough.

16:25 And I want to say this as a friend.

16:27 And I think that pain, that brokenness, must be respected.

16:33 By us, your friends, by family, because that

16:36 is an experience that is so personal.

16:40 I cannot even imagine how I can tell you

16:44 that I know what you're going through or what you went through.

16:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

16:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

16:57 I'm going to admit that everybody who wants to say,

16:59 no, don't be broken--

17:00 Means well.

17:01 Means well.

17:02 But this is my story.

17:04 This is how I felt. And I'm done with that.

17:09 And I totally understand.

17:10 That brings me to another big word.

17:13 Have you forgiven?

17:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

17:18 Because I will not get to this stage in my life

17:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

17:24 And I think that was the first thing that I wanted to do,

17:29 was forgive.

17:30 But forget is another story.

17:33 I totally understand.

17:35 I'd like to end this conversation by doing a heart

17:38 to heart talk.

17:39 We have about two minutes to do this.

17:41 But just tell me--

17:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

17:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

17:48 Two minutes to do this.

17:49 And just tell me the words that you want to say.

17:53 Last night of the world, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

17:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

17:58 In my house.

18:00 Dinner for three.

18:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

18:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

18:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

18:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

18:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

18:13 Cameraman.

18:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

18:16 Janice, what do you know about love for sure?

18:21 That it should be given in restraint.

18:24 Can you respect someone who doesn't agree

18:27 with your politics and religion?

18:30 Maybe not.

18:32 Who are you when no one is watching?

18:35 I'm the same, just quieter.

18:39 What is worse than betrayal?

18:42 Disrespect.

18:43 Is it kindness or love?

18:46 Wow.

18:48 Kindness.

18:49 Will you ever kill someone?

18:53 I won't know unless I'm in the moment.

18:56 You are the pearly gates.

18:57 God is there.

18:58 And he says, my daughter, before you enter heaven,

19:02 tell me what was the best thing you did for me?

19:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

19:10 Never stop believing.

19:12 [APPLAUSE]

19:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

19:16 The one and the only Janice Dibelen.

19:21 Thank you, Tito Boy.

19:23 I love you.

19:23 Thank you so much.

19:24 Thank you very much.

19:26 It's always fun being here.

19:27 It's always fun being with you.

19:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

19:31 For your love.

19:32 Thank you.

19:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

19:37 Be kind.

19:38 Make your Nana and Tata proud.

19:40 Hashtag say thank you.

19:42 And do one good thing a day, just one,

19:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] and make this world a better place.

19:47 Goodbye for now.

19:48 God bless.

19:48 [APPLAUSE]

19:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]

19:52 (upbeat music)
