00:00
If it's for you, it's for you.
00:02
Yeah, I went through a lot.
00:04
No one gave me a role because I was in an awkward stage.
00:10
I didn't know where to put myself.
00:14
I didn't know where I was part of.
00:16
You know, their career really took off.
00:20
And you were left behind.
00:22
Because if I say that,
00:24
of course, it had an impact on me.
00:28
If you don't put in the effort,
00:30
you'll be left behind.
00:34
Updaters, we watched her as Hannah in "Lover and Liars".
00:44
And of course, as Beatriz Royales in "Royal Blood".
00:49
And now, she's part of "Sparkle 10".
00:52
What else should we look forward to from Ms. Leanne Valentin?
00:57
Yay! Hello!
00:59
Hello!
01:01
Good afternoon!
01:03
Were you surprised by our photos?
01:05
Yes, it was a blast!
01:07
It was a blast!
01:09
Because we really didn't eat, Sir Nelson.
01:11
I remember a week or two weeks before the shoot,
01:15
there was "Sparkle Fans Day".
01:17
We all got together.
01:20
And after that, we decided to eat last hurrah.
01:24
After "Sparkle Fans Day",
01:27
we ate a lot of pasta, bread,
01:30
all the carbs that we could eat.
01:33
And we decided that this was the last one.
01:35
We ate after the shoot.
01:38
So when we got to the shoot,
01:41
I said, "I have food if we don't eat."
01:44
Because we didn't eat.
01:46
We heard each other eating while we were lying down on the swimsuit.
01:52
When I saw the picture,
01:54
I was like, "Oh, Leanne is not a kid anymore."
01:57
Because it's coming from Tropang Pochi.
02:00
This is it.
02:02
Leanne is a real girl.
02:05
Actually, it's true.
02:08
A lot of people said, Sir Nelson,
02:10
that you're really old.
02:14
You're not the 9 years old
02:16
that we see in Tropang Pochi dancing and playing.
02:20
Actually, everyone who knows me
02:23
saw that, "Oh my gosh, you've really leveled up."
02:26
"We can't accept that you're a girl anymore."
02:28
Because you saw Sir Nelson,
02:30
that was our journey.
02:32
We were still young.
02:34
And the stage was in the middle.
02:36
We were like teens until we became adults.
02:40
So, you know,
02:43
the reaction is different.
02:45
The feeling is different.
02:47
If I were to ask you,
02:50
was it hard to adjust
02:53
from being a child star
02:55
to being a teenager
02:58
and then you're on that stage?
03:02
Yes, of course.
03:04
Because I've been a showbiz star for a long time,
03:09
Sir Nelson, since I was 9 years old.
03:12
And for me,
03:13
because it's me,
03:15
time is a big deal.
03:17
But I appreciated the growth
03:21
that I experienced,
03:23
the journey throughout.
03:25
And I'm really grateful for that.
03:27
But I was also surprised
03:29
that it's been a while
03:31
that I was just playing around.
03:35
And now, we're together in Sparkle 10.
03:38
I'm with Ashley, Faith.
03:42
We were just surprised that we're together now.
03:46
And of course,
03:47
I'm also very happy
03:49
because the people around me are very supportive.
03:53
I know them.
03:54
I'm with others.
03:55
You share your journey,
03:56
your personal journey with others.
03:57
And others also share their personal journey with me.
04:00
So, I'm very happy about that.
04:03
It's hard to adjust.
04:04
Yes, because it's normal
04:07
that you adjust to the situations.
04:11
But I don't know,
04:13
so far, and I feel sorry for Lorde,
04:16
I'm very supportive.
04:18
And I cherish every moment of the growth.
04:22
You said you've been an artist for a long time.
04:26
What do you think,
04:28
what did you learn over the years
04:31
that you want to impart to those who are just starting?
04:35
Yes, based on my experience,
04:40
you really need to cherish every moment.
04:44
Every growth, every ups and downs.
04:47
What you need to experience is
04:50
be grateful and look at the other side.
04:55
I've been an artist for a long time.
04:57
Since I was a child,
04:58
I went through the puberty stage.
05:00
I went through a time when I didn't have a show.
05:03
I went through a time when no one gave me a role
05:07
because I was in an awkward stage.
05:09
I didn't know where to put myself.
05:13
I didn't know where to be a part of.
05:16
But you know, instead of focusing on what if,
05:25
just focus on how to make yourself learn.
05:31
The skills, for example, for me, acting.
05:35
I really learned it by watching,
05:39
I did workshops and all.
05:41
I didn't feel the hardships
05:44
because I focused on improving myself.
05:50
So, what I can say to them is
05:53
instead of looking at the bad side or not having good experiences,
06:00
just focus on growth.
06:02
And it's part of the journey.
06:03
You'll reach your goal.
06:06
And if it's for you, it's for you.
06:08
For you, for you.
06:09
Sometimes, even if you're avoiding what's for you,
06:11
you'll still go for it.
06:14
Yes, because if you overthink everything,
06:16
for example, we're together in the showbiz,
06:23
as in, you know, their careers really increased.
06:28
And you, you're the one who's in charge.
06:30
I can say that.
06:32
Of course, it has an impact on me.
06:35
But I just realized and I just focused on
06:39
what's for me, is for me.
06:41
It will come and it will come.
06:43
But, Lian, of course,
06:47
you learned a lot about being a director.
06:51
What will you impart?
06:53
The relationships in the showbiz.
06:57
Yeah, actually, relationships are very important
07:00
when it comes to showbiz.
07:02
You have to be able to connect with people.
07:04
Because you can't just find people
07:11
or friends in showbiz.
07:14
That's true.
07:16
You can't just choose your friends wisely.
07:18
In all aspects.
07:20
And of course, when you see that
07:23
you clicked with this person,
07:26
you really value the friendship you have with that person.
07:30
Because it's like a family, right?
07:34
You'll always help each other.
07:35
And your friends in showbiz are always there for you.
07:40
Like Faith and I, we've been together for a long time.
07:44
Until now, our friendship is still there.
07:47
Because we value what we have.
07:51
We're really supporters of each other.
07:53
No competition at all.
07:55
Because they think that it's going to be a competition.
08:01
But it's not.
08:03
We're really friends from the very beginning.
08:07
What I learned from my time in showbiz is that
08:10
you deal with people,
08:13
but you always think that respect comes first.
08:19
Yes, of course.
08:21
Sometimes, you cannot be kind,
08:23
but you always have to go back to that.
08:26
If it boils down to a choice between anger and being kind,
08:33
choose being kind.
08:35
That's it.
08:36
But if you can't do it, at least respect the boundary.
08:40
How you deal with it.
08:44
Because even if you're fighting, you should have respect.
08:47
Yes, you should have respect.
08:51
That's it.
08:52
As we all know, respect begets respect.
08:56
If you're respected,
08:59
most of the time, you'll get respect back.
09:01
And if it does not, you can demand for respect.
09:05
Because I respected you.
09:07
Why don't you respect me?
09:09
Right?
09:10
Something like that.
09:11
Okay.
09:12
What do you think?
09:13
Why did you join Sparkle10?
09:18
Maybe, I saw the management of Sparkle10,
09:26
the hard work throughout the years.
09:29
They saw my growth and how much I love my craft.
09:35
But wait,
09:36
when I saw you there,
09:38
I still had one question in mind.
09:40
Is this 10 points ready for mature roles?
09:43
I think, because I've experienced mature roles,
09:49
and so far, I'm happy with the work I've done with it.
09:53
If you're asking if I'm still mature, let's see.
09:58
But for now, I'm happy with what I'm doing.
10:00
And with the boundaries I've created when it comes to mature roles.
10:05
Yes, there you go.
10:07
You know, your billboard,
10:10
this is what's been on the wall since the cold season.
10:16
This is what started the summer.
10:19
It's really summer.
10:21
Recently, we went to Sapporo, Japan.
10:24
I really enjoyed the cold.
10:27
That's how it is.
10:29
What are your next destinations?
10:33
I want to buy more of Japan.
10:37
I want to go to Disney.
10:41
I want to go to Universal.
10:43
DisneySea?
10:44
DisneySea.
10:45
I've already been there.
10:47
I've already been to Universal.
10:49
Really?
10:50
Because I still have a kid at heart.
10:52
Really?
10:53
I still go crazy because
10:55
I don't know, I want the feeling of being on a roller coaster.
10:59
You have butterflies in your stomach.
11:01
Really?
11:02
Yes.
11:03
I want to go on an adventure.
11:05
You're more of an adrenaline junkie.
11:08
Yes.
11:09
If you invite me to the Enchanted Kingdom, I'll go.
11:12
Really?
11:13
Yes.
11:14
Because I've already been on all of those.
11:16
I don't really enjoy it.
11:18
I'm also scared.
11:20
We're very opposite, Sir Nelson.
11:24
I might repeat the same things twice.
11:29
Maybe that's the plan.
11:31
Okay, what's next for you?
11:33
I told you we've already watched the two series, Lovers and Liars.
11:38
Of course, Royal Blood.
11:40
You were really something there.
11:43
Royal Blood?
11:46
Yes.
11:47
I don't know if I'll get you there.
11:54
You'll get me there?
11:56
You'll like me?
11:58
Yes, it's mixed.
12:00
Because it's new.
12:03
But I think that's the most challenging role, right?
12:07
Yes.
12:08
I thought that I'll be the one to do the most challenging role.
12:12
But Royal Blood is different.
12:15
Because it's not just a show.
12:18
It demands so much.
12:20
Yes, and all of you are amazing.
12:23
You're all amazing.
12:26
I don't know, before you take your turn,
12:29
what are you going to do?
12:32
Actually, Sir Nelson, I was really pressured when I got my role in Royal Blood.
12:38
Because I was thinking of my co-stars,
12:41
Rian Ramos, Tirso Cruz, Deng Dong Dante,
12:46
Michael Dyes.
12:47
This is different.
12:48
I really need to follow.
12:50
I mean, I need to.
12:52
I'm not going to be like, "I'll do it together."
12:54
I really need to follow.
12:57
All of them are giving their best 100%.
13:00
So why don't you give your 100%?
13:03
And I feel like if you don't put in the effort,
13:09
you'll be left behind.
13:12
Yes.
13:13
Especially our scenes, Sir Nelson.
13:15
Every scene is not just a scene.
13:20
It requires so much to help the audience.
13:25
It's not just Royal Blood,
13:27
you're also involved in Blood.
13:29
High Blood.
13:30
High Blood.
13:31
Royal High Blood.
13:34
But what's next for you?
13:36
Do you have any projects you're working on?
13:38
Right now, I'm doing "Walang Matigas na Pulisang Matinig na Misis" season.
13:42
So they put me in Rom-Com.
13:45
Rom-Com.
13:46
Are you comfortable with Rom-Com?
13:47
Because of course, the dramas, suspense,
13:51
this is Rom-Com.
13:53
Actually, to be honest, Sir Nelson,
13:56
I'm not that good with comedy.
13:58
Every time I joke, I feel like I'm cringing or I don't have the timing.
14:03
But so far, with the help of my co-actors,
14:09
especially Senator Bong and Binti,
14:12
they're really effortless.
14:14
They really put in the effort.
14:16
And that's where I get the tips.
14:18
I've been to the set of "Walang Matigas na Pulisang Matinig na Misis".
14:21
It's a happy set because you laugh even when you're off-cam.
14:27
Yes.
14:28
Sir Nelson, even before we take,
14:32
sometimes we bring laughter, jokes, and stories
14:36
and we can't take it properly.
14:38
Our rehearsal took 30 minutes because we bring so much.
14:45
Because everything is really in their nature, laughing.
14:50
And it's a new experience for me that I really want to try.
14:54
Because you know, I'm okay with Rom-Com.
14:59
I'm very open to new roles and new challenges.
15:03
And I'm really just going for it.
15:05
Because even if the genre or at least I tried,
15:11
at least I didn't get scared.
15:13
I pushed forward.
15:17
Lee, I'll just change. I'll get personal just a little bit.
15:21
We know that your heart is happy right now.
15:24
But is your boyfriend okay with the roles you're playing?
15:30
Yes.
15:32
Actually, my boyfriend is very supportive when it comes to my job,
15:38
when it comes to my roles.
15:40
Every time I tell him that I have these roles,
15:45
he's very, very happy for me, very supportive.
15:48
Of course, my boyfriend is non-showbiz.
15:51
And you know, this is the first time that he has a relationship
16:00
that has this job.
16:02
And you know, that's what I'm looking forward to in this job that I have.
16:09
But if I don't do anything, he'll be supportive to me.
16:13
He'll remind me how proud he is of the work I'm doing,
16:20
even if it's just a guesting.
16:22
And this is a job, right?
16:24
It's not like it's your life, right?
16:27
It's a part of your life, but it's not the definition of your life.
16:32
True. Actually, before he got divorced,
16:38
I told him that it's really hard to date someone,
16:42
in this industry, because the work that I have requires time.
16:50
Also, you're eating up your time because of tapings.
16:54
And there are roles that are given to me that I'll really change.
17:00
Especially if your boyfriend is very jealous, oh my gosh, it will not work.
17:07
Yes, but he's very supportive all throughout,
17:10
which I really, really appreciate.
17:12
And I can say I'm lucky.
17:14
Lee, before I let you go, I'll turn the tables around.
17:22
I usually end the podcast with asking my guest,
17:27
who is the one who will ask.
17:29
We call this segment, Ask Nelson.
17:32
If there's one question that you would like to ask, what is this?
17:35
Oh my, ooh!
17:38
Any question, at all.
17:40
Maybe I'll ask you, Sir Nelson.
17:45
You've been in this industry for so, so long.
17:52
And you know, you've experienced a lot that we haven't experienced yet.
17:58
What's your one advice to us when it comes to reaching the goal
18:06
in this kind of work?
18:08
Okay.
18:10
You know, to be honest, I'm sure you don't need advice
18:18
because you've been around for a while.
18:21
I mean, you're still young, your eyes are already open to things.
18:27
And showbiz is no different from real life.
18:29
Showbizness is no different from any other career.
18:34
You can be a doctor, a clerk, or what have you.
18:41
But there's one thing that I always say, every time.
18:45
I usually paint it as you're digging, digging,
18:50
and then you're digging deeper and deeper
18:55
in search for that diamond that you're looking for.
18:59
And then one day you just quit and say, "I've been digging for 50 feet,
19:04
I don't want to do it anymore."
19:06
But when you climb up, at that 50 feet, you quit.
19:13
And for all you know, the diamond is only 2 inches away.
19:18
So you'll never know when is that diamond going to pop out.
19:25
And if you quit, you'll never know.
19:28
Yes.
19:29
That's so nice!
19:32
Right?
19:34
It's like, you just push, push.
19:38
Yeah, just push.
19:39
I know it's hard.
19:40
Sometimes it gets to be hard.
19:42
Sometimes it gets to strain you physically, emotionally,
19:47
and everything, you just don't want to do it anymore.
19:50
And then, when I feel that, I think, I go back to my core.
19:56
Why did I start this? Why did I want this?
20:00
Because that's when I realize that maybe I have to walk further.
20:07
Because the further you walk, you get more of what you want.
20:14
You get what you want.
20:16
But sometimes, when you assess, you realize that you still have to walk further.
20:24
Don't quit.
20:26
Because there will come a time when you'll say, "I got the diamond."
20:32
I didn't quit, but I'm stopping now because I got the diamond.
20:38
So until you get that feeling, don't do it.
20:43
Yeah.
20:44
Just keep going.
20:45
Dionne, thank you very much for sharing with us your time.
20:49
I hope we can do this again.
20:51
Of course!
20:52
We'll see each other again.
20:54
I will see you very soon.
20:56
I'll see you soon, Sir Nassim.
20:58
Thank you so much.
20:59
Thank you.
21:00
Bye!
21:01
Thank you. Bye-bye!
21:02
Bye!
