FunTranscript
00:00We walk hand in hand, we dream together. We giggle and laugh like kids forever.
00:12We're two different people, but we're having fun. We talk about anything under the sun.
00:19We are sisters, we are friends. We've got magic that never ends.
00:27I got you sis, you got me. The best of friends we'll always, always be.
00:39We always have fun, being together. You know me the best, we're friends forever.
00:46Through good times and bad, I'm here for you sis, right by your side.
00:52Hit or miss, we are sisters, we are friends. We've got magic that never ends.
01:01I got you sis, you got me. The best of friends, the best of friends.
01:09The best of friends we'll always, always be. We are sisters, we are sisters.
01:22We are female power here at SIS. Fun. Fearless. Fabulous.
01:48When everything is going wrong, and you can't see the point of going on.
01:53Nothing in life is set in stone, there's nothing that can't be turned around.
01:58Nobody wants to be alone, everybody wants to love someone.
02:03Three women of the new millennium who lead fun-filled, exciting and challenging lives on their own different ways.
02:10They are our guests today here at SIS.
02:15The first one we'll talk about, oh my, I admire this young lady because of her courage and determination.
02:22Do you know how hard it is to penetrate the world, the fabulous world of Hollywood?
02:28But she did it, and now she's enjoying her opportunities.
02:33Among other things, beautiful, brainy, tall, wow.
02:37Well anyway, Ms. Rufa Gutierrez, hello.
02:41Hello, I used to call you Ate Janice, but now I'll just call you Janice.
02:44Because you're so tall.
02:46Can I call you Ate?
02:49No, because remember when I arrived from the States, I was only 12.
02:53And you were doing a movie with my brother and my dad.
02:57I forgot the title, I went to Puerto Azul.
02:59I said, Janice, she's my idol with Aga.
03:02Because I watched you in the States, I used to watch those videos.
03:05And my mom used to watch Tagalog movies.
03:08So I used to watch you and Gabby, the PS I love you.
03:11It's like she's been watching you for a long time.
03:13Oh anyway, how has Rufa changed?
03:16What has changed about Rufa Gutierrez?
03:19Aside from the hype, what has changed about me is that I'm more mature now.
03:26Little things don't faze me anymore.
03:28I used to cry all the time when I was intrigued and I read bad things written about me.
03:34But now, it's more of an attitude because I don't care.
03:36Because they're not the ones making me happy.
03:39And I have my own life.
03:41And I think traveling also helps.
03:43And your accomplishments.
03:44Yeah, and also when you meet different people.
03:46You meet people from all walks of life and different cultures.
03:51That's what helps.
03:52How is your life in Hollywood?
03:54Well, my life...
03:55Exciting?
03:56It's exciting because I get to go to events.
04:01I get to go to parties.
04:03I get to meet the stars.
04:05But I think the most exciting part about living in LA is my freedom, my privacy.
04:11I get to walk around and nobody bothers me.
04:14You get to be who you are.
04:16You get to do what you want.
04:17Yeah, I get to be who I am.
04:18And at the same time, I travel for free.
04:20I go to these great parties.
04:22I interview celebrities.
04:23So for me, that's not something that I do because I get paid to do it.
04:29It's something that I want to do because I'm happy doing it.
04:32And then you get paid for it also.
04:34I get paid for it too, of course.
04:36But in Hollywood, the demand is different.
04:38Especially when it comes to physical appearance.
04:41Because you have to keep up with everybody.
04:43With all those beautiful bodies, beautiful faces.
04:46All glammed up.
04:48How is that?
04:49What do you do?
04:50How do you meet those demands?
04:53How do you keep up with them?
04:55Before, I used to be an artist.
04:57I used to love doing makeup.
04:58Other things.
05:00But maybe what I do is I read magazines.
05:05I go out.
05:06And everywhere you go, everyone is dressed up.
05:09If you go to parties in L.A.
05:11Some are casual, but rock and roll chick is popular there.
05:14So everyone is rock and roll.
05:16That's how it is.
05:17Here in the Philippines, when you dress up, it's kind of boring.
05:19You just wear a T-shirt and pants.
05:21Well, one, because of the weather.
05:23It's hot, right?
05:24It's hot.
05:25Plus, maybe because it's different.
05:27It's a different lifestyle.
05:29Here, it's simple, of course.
05:31But that's not a problem for me.
05:33Because before, I already like getting dressed up.
05:37Getting dolled up.
05:38Getting glammed up.
05:39Going to parties.
05:40That's my life when I go to events.
05:42Hi!
05:43I'm Miss Chica Chica.
05:45Of course, everybody is different.
05:46I enjoy what I do.
05:47Yes, and I enjoy it.
05:49Oh, here's another love line.
05:51Love line.
05:52Of course.
05:53That's my favorite topic of everybody.
05:55Of all your boyfriends,
05:57this boyfriend of yours is Turkish.
05:59He's from Ilmas.
06:01He's just like your mom.
06:03What did he do?
06:05He courted your mom.
06:06You know what?
06:07He came at the right time and the right age.
06:10Perfect timing.
06:11Perfect timing.
06:12Others might have a type of mom,
06:14but it's wrong timing because she's still young.
06:16Check.
06:17Rufa is still young?
06:18Okay.
06:19It's not allowed yet.
06:20Yes, it's not allowed yet.
06:21He's kind.
06:22They really like the man's personality.
06:24He's not your type?
06:25No, he's my type,
06:27but I'm still young.
06:29Oh, okay.
06:30So until now,
06:31when it comes to women,
06:32I leave them.
06:33Oh, goodbye.
06:34Lagumbay.
06:35So, where is this leading to?
06:37Of course, when it comes to boyfriends,
06:40later on, marriage comes in.
06:43Are you looking at that in the near future?
06:46Maybe next year?
06:48Right?
06:49Your boyfriend has an internet message?
06:51Yes, did you watch it?
06:52Did you see it?
06:53An internet proposal?
06:54Oh, yes,
06:55because you're the one who added the S files.
06:57Right?
06:58Actually, what he did was super sweet
07:00because it was the first time that I felt this special.
07:03I said, wow.
07:05When I saw the website,
07:07I cried for about one hour.
07:09I couldn't believe it.
07:10Why did you cry?
07:11You're not happy.
07:12Why are you so excited?
07:13I cried because tears of happiness.
07:15Oh, okay.
07:16But now,
07:17when it comes to getting married,
07:18I'm still enjoying my life now.
07:20I mean, marriage,
07:22it's just one night.
07:26Okay, let's have a party.
07:27It's a ceremony and everything.
07:28But it's after that, what happens?
07:30Am I ready for it?
07:31Am I ready for the responsibilities?
07:33Am I ready to have children?
07:34You know, I'm still enjoying going out.
07:36I can stay at home,
07:40but I'm not super domesticated yet.
07:42Now, I'm starting to learn content.
07:44Because you're still young.
07:45Yes.
07:46You're learning content
07:47because when you were in Hollywood,
07:48you had to do those things.
07:49I had to.
07:50And at the same time,
07:51there are people who,
07:52even when they're young,
07:53they don't go out.
07:54I have like 10 malls on my feet.
07:56I can't film at home.
07:58Your feet are really itchy.
08:00My feet are really itchy.
08:01Okay, let's talk about that later.
08:04Your feet are itchy
08:05and you want to go out all the time.
08:07We'll be back with Sis Shebex.
08:09Where is she?
08:10Sis Shebex.
08:18Rufo Gutierrez is really a picture of,
08:21an epitome of beauty and brains.
08:23What else can you look for in a woman?
08:25Right?
08:26Rufo, when you're in Hollywood,
08:29you have a mix of celebrities,
08:32famous people,
08:33influential people,
08:34and basically,
08:35your job is to be a celebrity.
08:37You're a celebrity.
08:38You're a celebrity.
08:39You're a celebrity.
08:40You're a celebrity.
08:41You're a celebrity.
08:42You're a celebrity.
08:43You're a celebrity.
08:44You're a celebrity.
08:45You're a celebrity.
08:46Basically, your work is on the showbiz side.
08:50What if somebody from a famous news channel
08:54just goes up to you and says,
08:55I'd like to offer you an anchoring job
08:59with our network.
09:00Would you be open to that?
09:01Of course.
09:02I'm open to any possibilities.
09:04News anchoring, lifestyle.
09:07I already have an offer
09:09to host a lifestyle station
09:11that's based in Hong Kong.
09:12I'd have to be based in Hong Kong.
09:14Lifestyle, showbiz,
09:15it's still different from news.
09:16It's the same.
09:17It's the same as news.
09:18I also like news
09:19because I love politics.
09:20I love talking about,
09:21you know,
09:22issues,
09:23what things are happening in the world.
09:25Maybe I just need to laser my eyes
09:30so I can read the teleprompter
09:32because my eyes are blurry.
09:33My eyes are blurry.
09:34Okay.
09:35Since, okay, okay.
09:36So that's news.
09:37Okay.
09:38What are your views?
09:40We all know what happened
09:41to the World Trade Center
09:43and what is now happening in Afghanistan,
09:45the war that the U.S. waged.
09:48What's your say on that?
09:51You know what's happening now?
09:52It's like they're doing
09:53Muslims versus the United States.
09:56It shouldn't be like that
09:57because my boyfriend is Muslim
09:59and he has his own views about that too.
10:01But for me,
10:03my view is that
10:05whoever did what happened
10:08to the World Trade Center,
10:10he has to be punished.
10:11We all know that there are so many
10:13overseas Filipino workers
10:14that are now in the Middle East.
10:16And of course, they're still there.
10:18They're already home.
10:19Right?
10:20They're already home.
10:21They don't have to wait there.
10:22What if they get stranded there?
10:24If you were the President of the Philippines,
10:25what would be your first move?
10:27Knowing that right now,
10:28there's a war going on there.
10:30The possibility of them being able
10:32to come home immediately is a bit difficult.
10:34They should have thought of that.
10:36The Afghan refugees,
10:37they used to carry their own bags.
10:40But I think they'll still have time to come home.
10:42You're still an artist, right?
10:44How do you feel that
10:46everybody is saying
10:48or we all feel that
10:49our industry is dying,
10:51our movie industry is dying?
10:54I feel that right now.
10:56I feel that our time is happier
10:58when there are a lot of artists,
11:01a lot of celebrities.
11:02All the functions that you go to,
11:04there are a lot of artists.
11:06Right now,
11:08I don't know,
11:09I'm not a kid anymore.
11:11I'm like 27 years old.
11:12My batchmates are also different.
11:14I feel that the day is happier.
11:17Politics?
11:18Politics.
11:20Very corrupt.
11:22Right now?
11:23Would you get into politics?
11:24No way.
11:25I wish.
11:26My dream was to be a Senator or a Congresswoman.
11:28And then?
11:29And then I said forget it
11:30because I'm sure I'll be sad for the rest of my life.
11:32Terrorism?
11:33I hate terrorism.
11:34Everybody does, I guess.
11:35I hate terrorists.
11:37World peace?
11:39Do you think we'll ever have that?
11:40Complete peace in this world?
11:42That's what I'm praying for.
11:43I don't even pray for anything material anymore.
11:45I just pray for world peace.
11:46Especially now,
11:47if I'm going to have children one day.
11:49Right now, I'm so scared of my safety.
11:51Safety, traveling.
11:53Safety, just walking in the street.
11:55You don't know if there are bombs.
11:57You don't know if somebody's going to mug you.
11:58Even cellphones are being robbed.
12:00Were you there?
12:01The Benamang World Trade Center?
12:02No, I was in Istanbul.
12:03There are a lot of Filipino,
12:05our brothers in the industry,
12:07who really want to get into Hollywood.
12:09Who want to be able to penetrate,
12:10whether it's in the movies,
12:11their television industry,
12:13their recording industry.
12:15What can you say to them?
12:17It takes a lot of hard work.
12:19And not everybody can make it.
12:23But if you try, you'll never know.
12:24You might be lucky.
12:25But at least you tried, right?
12:27Before, they were saying,
12:28Rufa, don't join Miss Philippines.
12:29You're already an artist.
12:30What if you lose?
12:31You won't have a career to return to.
12:33What if I lose my height?
12:35I joined, I won.
12:37And then I went.
12:38But it opened so many doors for me.
12:40So you'll never know.
12:41I think life is good when you take the risk.
12:46It's boring if you just sit there.
12:48You live only once.
12:49Yeah, you live only once.
12:51So maybe I'm not ever taking the chance.
12:53Yes.
12:54I love taking chances.
12:55That's good.
12:56You're young.
12:57Why not?
12:58I hope you're not growing.
12:59Are you still growing?
13:00No.
13:01I'm just looking for heels.
13:02Is Rufa content with everything she has?
13:05Or are you still on this constant search
13:09for achievements, challenges,
13:12new things to conquer?
13:15If I die tomorrow,
13:16I can say that I've lived a fulfilled life.
13:19Already?
13:20Yes.
13:21I've made the most of each day.
13:22And the mere fact that I'm alive,
13:24I'm already happy.
13:25Each day is a gift for me.
13:27And I'm happy.
13:29I'm happy with my life.
13:31But as of now,
13:33I can say that I'm happy,
13:34I'm content,
13:35I'm blessed,
13:36and I couldn't ask for anything more.
13:38Rufa Gutierrez,
13:39the word,
13:40fabulously personified.
13:42Coming back,
13:43we have another exceptional female character.
13:47Wait for that.
13:51Amazing!
13:52You're amazing!
13:53Yeah!
13:54After December,
13:55we have another gift.
13:56You'll get a singing Jelena doll.
13:58If you press the pendant,
14:01it'll go like this.
14:02I won't get tired.
14:06She'll always sing.
14:08A Filipino version,
14:09not Japanese.
14:10I can say that the saying,
14:12size does not matter,
14:14is true.
14:15Because her accomplishments in life are still great.
14:18A young celebrity
14:19who has no fear to experiment.
14:21A trendsetter,
14:22a role model for young people.
14:24Please welcome,
14:25our sister,
14:26Jelena Magdana.
14:27Hello, Ate Joey.
14:28Hello, Jelena.
14:29How are you?
14:30I'm good.
14:31And also,
14:32even though I'm small,
14:34I still think a lot
14:36about what to do with my body.
14:38Since you're small,
14:39you're really interested in experimenting.
14:41This is your entrance to the showbiz.
14:43When I was young,
14:44I liked Madonna and Cyndi Lauper.
14:46There are a lot of accessories.
14:48My sister and I,
14:49and when I was young,
14:50I watched Dutch Entertainment.
14:51Of course!
14:52And also,
14:54I liked to wear my mom's earrings,
14:56or my mom's choker,
14:58or bells.
14:59Yes.
15:00But when I became a showbiz star,
15:01that's when I thought,
15:03how can I invent my own accessories?
15:06Since you're interested.
15:08Yes.
15:09And also,
15:10if I'm going to be an overman,
15:11I can say,
15:12I'm an artiste.
15:13Yes, you can.
15:14Yes, right?
15:15Yes.
15:16Didn't your mom scold you when you were young,
15:18that when you experiment,
15:19you look like a Christmas tree?
15:22No.
15:23My mom laughed at me.
15:24I still have a picture of me
15:25and my sister wearing Cyndi Lauper.
15:27When I was sleeping,
15:29I put a bell here,
15:30and I asked her about her chokers.
15:32She was still laughing at me.
15:33I was still young.
15:35That's really up to you.
15:36Yes.
15:37Do you experiment in fashion?
15:39Something to do with your height limitation?
15:41So that people will still notice you,
15:43even if you're not tall.
15:45No.
15:46They say,
15:47even if I'm short,
15:49people will notice my color.
15:51It's not like that.
15:52It's just that,
15:53when I thought that
15:54this is what I'm going to wear,
15:56at that time,
15:57because I like it.
15:58You just like it.
15:59I just like it.
16:00I'm just satisfying myself.
16:01It's not because
16:02we need to be on TV a lot.
16:04I need to be noticed.
16:05It's not like that.
16:06I just like it when I dress like that.
16:08When you started,
16:10how do you take it
16:11when they say,
16:12of course,
16:13what you're doing is new to them?
16:15Yes.
16:16How do you feel when they say,
16:17Jolina is so weird?
16:19What will she wear?
16:20It's new.
16:21There are a lot of colors.
16:22What is that?
16:23At that time,
16:24I was just laughing.
16:25I was just laughing because,
16:28it's like for me,
16:29a lot of people are copying me.
16:30Right?
16:31Right?
16:32I feel like,
16:33if there's someone copying you,
16:35it means that
16:36they're happy with that.
16:37It fits.
16:38Yes.
16:39If more people are copying you
16:40and only a few are noticing you,
16:41why would they notice you?
16:43Do I know the reason
16:44why they're noticing you?
16:45Right?
16:46But if you feel like
16:47a lot of people are noticing you
16:48it means that
16:49there's something wrong.
16:50How do you feel
16:51when people are copying you?
16:52Of course,
16:53I say,
16:54you're very Jolina.
16:55I feel like,
16:56I'm laughing because,
16:57it depends.
16:58Sometimes,
16:59they're exaggerating
17:00to make me look crazy.
17:01Yes.
17:02But for me,
17:03it's okay.
17:04No matter what they say to me,
17:05as long as
17:06there are a lot of kids
17:07that make me happy,
17:08it's okay for me.
17:09So,
17:10all these looks,
17:11you created them?
17:12Yes.
17:13The ones like this,
17:14the ones that I combine
17:15with the colors,
17:16the beads of feathers,
17:17things like that.
17:18Don't you run out
17:19of ideas?
17:20Sometimes,
17:21because of course,
17:22when it comes to fashion,
17:23it's like,
17:24sometimes,
17:25it fits,
17:26and then it suddenly
17:27disappears,
17:28so you have to think
17:29about something new.
17:30Of course,
17:31sometimes,
17:32you feel like
17:33you're too lazy to think,
17:34so what you do is,
17:35you just stare at them
17:36and then,
17:37what else can I combine
17:38with this?
17:39Just like that.
17:40But you really have to
17:41think about it.
17:42How's your business
17:43in fashion?
17:44Do you even have clothes?
17:45We're concentrating
17:46on the accessories
17:47because the apparel,
17:48it's different,
17:49you have to concentrate
17:50on that.
17:51So,
17:52now,
17:53on the accessories,
17:54you have a lot of competition
17:55there.
17:56Yes,
17:57and you have to,
17:58if you have a supplier,
17:59you have to talk to them
18:00properly
18:01so you don't get fooled.
18:02Here,
18:03we get the raw materials,
18:04we'll make it ourselves,
18:05so there's not much
18:06to talk about,
18:07it's just us.
18:08It's all up to you.
18:09Yes.
18:10So,
18:11let's talk about
18:12the accessories
18:13that you're talking about.
18:14Yes,
18:15there,
18:16headband.
18:17It's like those kids
18:18who do ballet,
18:19right?
18:20They want to have
18:21something on their hair.
18:22There,
18:23just put it here
18:24so there's a contrast.
18:25This is for you.
18:26That's for me.
18:27Green and brown.
18:28Okay,
18:29there,
18:30I'm wearing a headband.
18:31Okay,
18:32choker,
18:33choker.
18:34Okay,
18:35choker,
18:36tie,
18:37choker.
18:38What about you?
18:39What about me?
18:40I need,
18:41I also have this,
18:42green.
18:43This suits your outfit.
18:44It's high.
18:45Yes,
18:46it's high.
18:47What we're going to buy is,
18:48Is this your crochet?
18:49No,
18:50this is raw,
18:51it's raw material.
18:52And this,
18:53these beads are also raw.
18:54We're just going to sew it there.
18:55And you're going to tie it?
18:56Yes.
18:57And this?
18:58That's also a part of it.
18:59And what is this?
19:00I call that
19:01the colored pesting ehem.
19:02Correct.
19:03Pesting ehem.
19:04Those are babies.
19:05Wait,
19:06I just want to know,
19:07what is this?
19:08It's pom-pom
19:09that has
19:10small dots,
19:11right?
19:12If you don't want to use it,
19:13put it on your Christmas tree.
19:14Right?
19:15How about dolls?
19:16There,
19:17Angelina doll,
19:18right?
19:19Do you have an idea for this Angelina doll?
19:20Yes,
19:21actually,
19:22this is from 1997.
19:23I really endorsed this.
19:241997.
19:25Isn't it like Barbie?
19:26Yes,
19:27and it's next to
19:28Britney Spears dolls.
19:29I saw it,
19:30yes,
19:31I went to the toy store.
19:32That's why,
19:33boys,
19:34your children,
19:35you can't give them dolls.
19:36We can't appreciate
19:37Jenny's daughters.
19:38Okay.
19:39There.
19:40This is from 1997,
19:41and we didn't
19:42have a supplier.
19:43Until this year,
19:44we saw a supplier.
19:45Then,
19:46my dad took me
19:47to Angulo,
19:48Patalikod.
19:49Yes.
19:50Then,
19:51I made a mold
19:52from China.
19:53We're the distributor here.
19:54That's great!
19:55You're amazing!
19:56Yes,
19:57and in December,
19:58as a gift,
19:59there will be
20:00a singing Angelina doll.
20:01When you press
20:02the pendant,
20:03it will be like this,
20:04I won't get tired.
20:05It will always
20:06sing.
20:07I know,
20:08I know.
20:09A Filipino version
20:10of Angelina doll.
20:11Yes,
20:12a Filipino version,
20:13not Japanese.
20:14You're one of a kind,
20:15you're unique.
20:16Yeah.
20:17You know,
20:18our staff just laughed.
20:19I can tell you,
20:20we've been here all day,
20:21they just laughed.
20:22Wow.
20:23Do you give tips
20:24to your customers
20:25when they go shopping?
20:26Yes,
20:27I talk to them.
20:28Really?
20:29But I don't want to
20:30go to a mall
20:31and tell them,
20:32hey,
20:33this is for you.
20:34I don't want to force them.
20:35Yes.
20:36I don't want to.
20:37So,
20:38I don't force them.
20:39When they ask,
20:40how do you do that?
20:41I'll bring out
20:42the accessories like this,
20:43so if they want to...
20:44Make it for themselves?
20:45Yes.
20:46No,
20:47they can also make it.
20:48Right?
20:49Don't make it dirty
20:50so they can return it to me.
20:51It's a blessing.
20:52Yes.
20:53Right?
20:54Ouch,
20:55I'm joking.
20:56Let's soap it later.
20:57There,
20:58it's beautiful.
20:59Because you're a trendsetter,
21:00you became a role model.
21:01Oh,
21:02it fell off.
21:03You became a role model
21:04especially for young people.
21:05Yes.
21:06Don't you find it hard?
21:07Because you always need
21:08to be good.
21:09No,
21:10because...
21:11You always have to set
21:12a good example.
21:13I'm not like the others
21:14who are...
21:15Who are like sisters.
21:16Yes,
21:17who are in the closet.
21:18Yes, in the closet.
21:19When you open it,
21:20you're a different person.
21:21Yes.
21:22For me,
21:23what you see is what you get.
21:24I'm a very transparent person.
21:25When I'm sad,
21:26I can see my family.
21:27Even if they're laughing,
21:28my eyes are sad.
21:29So,
21:30if I'm happy,
21:31I'm really happy.
21:32Also,
21:33my dad raised me well.
21:34He said I grew up.
21:35He made me grow up.
21:36Your parents raised you well.
21:37Yes.
21:38That's why
21:39I'm not the type...
21:40I just made this image
21:41to say that I'm good.
21:42But,
21:43behind the camera,
21:44they're like,
21:45you're so annoying.
21:46It's not like that.
21:47No.
21:48So,
21:49we're going to talk about
21:50Jolina's love life
21:51when she returns.
21:52I'm going home.
21:53Sis!
21:54I'm going home.
21:55You're going home?
21:56Yes.
21:57You're going home?
21:58Yes,
21:59my love life.
22:00And we're back here on set.
22:01Yes.
22:02We still have Jolina
22:03with us
22:04for our girl talk
22:05this time.
22:06And we will talk about
22:07boys.
22:08Oh, my God.
22:09Bye.
22:10I mean,
22:11boys.
22:12We're boys here.
22:13Your career is successful now.
22:14Yes.
22:15How's your love life?
22:16I'm happy that
22:17this is how it is.
22:18My life is simple.
22:19There's nothing
22:20that intrigues me.
22:22Because,
22:23it feels better
22:24when you're concentrating
22:25on one thing.
22:26And I know
22:27that it will also come
22:28in my life
22:29that there's also
22:30someone who cares for me.
22:31For you.
22:32There's also
22:33a real person
22:34who loves me.
22:36Is it true
22:37that you and Robin
22:38became a family?
22:39What are you talking about?
22:40He's already married.
22:41We're done with the movie.
22:42We don't do movies anymore.
22:43So,
22:44it's over.
22:45So,
22:46it's over with Robin.
22:47Yes,
22:48it's enough.
22:49It's over.
22:50What is this?
22:51She's a fashion.
22:52You can't experiment.
22:53What about guys?
22:54I'm not like that.
22:55Badjun.
22:56Badjun,
22:57right?
22:58I'm beautiful.
22:59If I don't have
23:00a boyfriend
23:01and I experiment,
23:02I might get karma.
23:03I don't want to experiment.
23:04Don't be
23:05a collector.
23:06It's ugly.
23:07You'll get tired.
23:08It's not beautiful.
23:09Among the leading men
23:10you've been with,
23:11who's your favorite?
23:15That's hard.
23:17I can't answer that.
23:19Of course,
23:20the one I've been with
23:21for the longest time
23:22is Marvin.
23:23Because
23:24he's really
23:25the person
23:26who became
23:27a love team.
23:29You two weren't
23:30ever together?
23:31Marvin?
23:32I had a crush on him.
23:33Really?
23:34I had a crush on him.
23:35Really?
23:36But it didn't happen.
23:37It didn't happen.
23:39What?
23:40It didn't happen.
23:41Why?
23:42Because
23:43that's how he is.
23:46That's how love teams are.
23:47You know,
23:48it's normal
23:49for a love team
23:50to not be true.
23:51But now,
23:52he's okay
23:53to make his own movie.
23:54I'm ready.
23:55So,
23:56we're okay with that.
23:57What type of guys
23:58do you like, Jolina?
23:59I like...
24:01No.
24:02We might fight.
24:04I like guys
24:06who are older than me.
24:08Why?
24:09Of course,
24:10so I can take care of myself.
24:12I like guys
24:13who are older than me.
24:14Like 27,
24:1528 years old.
24:16To be mature
24:17and more intimate.
24:18Yes.
24:19And also,
24:20I like guys
24:21who are younger than me.
24:24When I was young,
24:25I worked.
24:26I like guys
24:27who are not
24:28older than me.
24:30He's younger than you.
24:33Um...
24:34I've never experienced that
24:35in my life.
24:37I like guys
24:38who are mature.
24:39You like guys
24:40who are mature.
24:41Yes.
24:42I like guys
24:43who are mature.
24:44What's the turn-off
24:45for you?
24:46He's smelly.
24:47That's the turn-off!
24:48He's smelly.
24:49And also,
24:50he's arrogant.
24:51He's annoying.
24:52Yes.
24:53And also,
24:54he's talkative.
24:55That's hard.
24:56I don't like
24:57guys who don't say anything.
24:58I feel like
24:59when I'm on a date,
25:00they're the only ones
25:01who talk to me.
25:02I like guys
25:03who are talkative,
25:04who have a sense of humor,
25:05who have a sense
25:06of what they're saying,
25:07who are talkative,
25:08who are smart,
25:09and who love their family.
25:11That's a lot.
25:12Yes.
25:13It's not easy.
25:14But it's easy
25:15because I found
25:16someone like that.
25:17You'll find someone like that
25:18one day.
25:19Right?
25:20When we talk,
25:21I'll come back to you.
25:22You'll come back to me.
25:23Promise.
25:24I'll eat you.
25:25Does Marvin have
25:26those traits?
25:28What kind of question is that?
25:30Good thing
25:31Marvin is safe.
25:32I'm helping you.
25:34We don't know.
25:35Right?
25:36Because Marvin
25:37and I don't help each other.
25:40Why not?
25:41That's how it is.
25:43You two are so cute.
25:44Wow.
25:46What about Carlos?
25:47Really?
25:48Yes.
25:49Don't be like that.
25:54Carlos is kind.
25:55Carlos is kind.
25:56He has a beautiful smile.
25:57Yes.
25:58That's how he is.
26:00One time,
26:01you went to school
26:02with your showbiz.
26:05How did you share that?
26:07It's hard
26:08to work
26:09and study at the same time.
26:10How did you share that?
26:11At that time,
26:12it was hard
26:13because I was graduating
26:14from high school.
26:15And TV
26:16was really hard.
26:17But
26:18I thought
26:19it's good
26:20because high school
26:21is a foundation.
26:22Yes.
26:23High school really
26:24has a foundation day.
26:25I said
26:26I'll finish
26:27high school.
26:28Then,
26:29I did my first semester
26:30in UP.
26:31Then,
26:32I filed for
26:33LOA.
26:34Then,
26:35I enrolled
26:36in AMA.
26:37Yes.
26:38I did a regular
26:39tutorial in AMA.
26:40Then,
26:41now,
26:42I'm giving out
26:43movies
26:44to finish.
26:45I want to go back
26:46to school.
26:47Strike while the iron is hot.
26:48Yes.
26:49Right?
26:50To go back to school.
26:51It's just school.
26:52You can go back
26:53to school
26:54as long as you have
26:55the urge
26:56to go back to school
26:57one day.
26:58That's right.
26:59Also,
27:00during this time,
27:01let's save
27:02money for
27:03what will happen
27:04in our lives.
27:05Yes,
27:06anywhere.
27:07Where's your store?
27:08In Project 6.
27:0986C Road 1,
27:10Project 6,
27:11Quezon City.
27:12There,
27:13you can see
27:14the saris
27:15that we're wearing
27:16by Ate Jelly.
27:17Oh,
27:18this one
27:19suits your hair.
27:20Okay,
27:21let's put it.
27:22Yes.
27:23This is for your career.
27:24Oh,
27:25does it suit me?
27:26I don't know.
27:27People might think
27:28that it doesn't suit me.
27:29I don't know.
27:30You can wear
27:31pom-poms here.
27:33She's just
27:34making fun of me.
27:36Does it suit me?
27:37Yes.
27:38Right?
27:39The pom-poms
27:40suit you.
27:41It doesn't suit me.
27:42Let's put it on.
27:43What about
27:44Diva?
27:45Do you sing?
27:46Yes.
27:47Will you be a diva there?
27:48Of course,
27:49you should try everything
27:50in singing.
27:51You shouldn't
27:52limit yourself to that.
27:53But of course,
27:54it doesn't suit you.
27:55What else
27:56haven't you done
27:57that you want to do?
27:58Because
27:59you're in a drama.
28:00You're also in a comedy.
28:02You're even
28:03dancing.
28:04So,
28:05what do you want to do
28:06that you haven't
28:07ever
28:08tried?
28:09In Showbiz?
28:10Yes.
28:12I want to
28:13have a concert
28:14here in Metro Manila.
28:16It's not a big venue here.
28:18Right?
28:19Major concert?
28:20Yes,
28:21because all my concerts
28:22are in America,
28:23in Asia.
28:25I'm laughing
28:26at our joke.
28:27Right?
28:28So, what if
28:29it's here?
28:30I don't know,
28:31I just thought of it.
28:32In a folk arts chair?
28:33Okay,
28:34Araneta.
28:35And what's your concept
28:36there?
28:37I'm thinking
28:38I want to show
28:39your…
28:40Oh,
28:41Joy Inaday.
28:42Yes.
28:43She said it.
28:44Yes.
28:45With a harness
28:46and they're dancing.
28:47Life size.
28:48Yes.
28:49No,
28:50I don't know
28:51what kind of
28:52look I'll do
28:53when I have a concert.
28:54But I want
28:55people to really
28:56enjoy it.
28:57They'll really
28:58entertain.
28:59Funny,
29:00when you're already
29:0135,
29:02what's your look?
29:03No,
29:04sometimes,
29:05Ate Jelly,
29:06when I'm just
29:07dancing,
29:08I'm not like this.
29:09Right?
29:10I'm ugly,
29:11right?
29:12I'm ugly.
29:13So,
29:14when I'm off-cam,
29:15you'll see
29:16the simplicity
29:17of Jolina Magdangal.
29:18I'm just simple.
29:19You're just simple.
29:20Yes.
29:21It's only a little
29:22time for your love.
29:23It's not.
29:24For me,
29:25I'm not looking for it.
29:26You're not
29:27looking for it?
29:28We talked about this
29:29previously.
29:30She's not looking for it.
29:31For me,
29:32it might be soon.
29:33I'm still waiting.
29:34So,
29:35when she comes,
29:36she might be the right one.
29:37I'm always praying for her.
29:38Because,
29:39all you're doing
29:40is singing
29:41Jolina Magdangal
29:42and you'll sing as well.
29:43Right?
29:44I don't want that.
29:45And maybe,
29:46you don't find
29:47the right one for you.
29:48I think
29:49you'll find her
29:50She'll come to me if she's really meant to be with me.
29:53See?
29:54They're touching each other.
29:56Oh my, thank you very much, Jolina.
29:58Thank you, too.
29:59For our very colorful conversation.
30:02Yeah.
30:03A bugly and fearless spirit wrapped in a small package.
30:07That's Jolina Magdalena.
30:09Yeah.
30:10Yay!
30:11Thank you very much.
30:12Oh, thank you, Jolina.
30:14Thank you, too.
30:17Oh, this is too much.
30:21I was most scared during the gunfight with Abu Sayyaf.
30:25Oh, you were there?
30:26Yes, because it was too close.
30:28We were hiding behind a small wall.
30:31And?
30:32And there was a small barrier.
30:33That's it.
30:34Your barrier was small?
30:35The barrier was small.
30:36But there were two of us reporters.
30:37Were you ready?
30:38No.
30:39We sat down.
30:40You sat down.
30:41You sat down.
30:42A whole bunch of brave people were talking in Hollywood.
30:44And Jolina was fearless.
30:45When it comes to fashion,
30:46our next guest is the bravest of them all.
30:51Will she put herself in danger whenever she brings news?
30:55Please welcome on, sis, Ms. Mackie Pulido.
30:58How are you, Mackie?
31:01Hi!
31:02Hello!
31:03We're not too serious and we're not too factual today.
31:07We're not too rugged today, right?
31:08We're just telling stories.
31:09And of course, you're still wearing a blazer.
31:11Yes, because it's prohibited for us.
31:13The one without a blazer.
31:14It's prohibited for us the one without a blazer.
31:15Even if you're wearing a tank top, you still have to wear a blazer.
31:17Except if you're wearing a tank top.
31:19Except if you're wearing a tank top.
31:20I can't forget the end of the show.
31:22You're being watched.
31:24There's a tank top here!
31:25There's a tank top!
31:26And you're wearing a blazer.
31:27Ah!
31:28There's a tank top!
31:29A tank top!
31:30You're not aware.
31:32And you can feel my face.
31:33No, no, I really didn't know.
31:34I really didn't know.
31:35You really didn't know?
31:36That the camera was on.
31:37While you were wearing a blazer.
31:38That time, while I was wearing a blazer.
31:40And the tank top,
31:41I've been covering Malacanang for two years now.
31:44And I never saw,
31:45And I never saw,
31:46I never saw,
31:47that there's a tank top going inside Malacanang.
31:49So you really felt that you were scared for hours.
31:52I thought that they were going to bury Erap.
31:55That time.
31:56Because the situation was like that.
31:57Because he wasn't aware yet.
32:00So you think,
32:01from that time,
32:02that's why most of your assignments were life-threatening.
32:04It's really nerve-racking,
32:06it's scary.
32:07No, it just happened.
32:09Because before Malacanang,
32:11I was a military reporter.
32:13So usually, what's the first thing that pops up in Mindanao?
32:16That's what you find out.
32:17But here in Manila.
32:18Kidnappings.
32:19No, usually Mindanao.
32:20You still go there?
32:21Yes.
32:22You also went to Mindanao?
32:23Yes, the height of the MILF.
32:24Really?
32:25Yes, the height of the MILF and the military clashes.
32:27But that was around 1996-1997.
32:29I was still young.
32:30You really go there?
32:31Weren't you afraid?
32:33Admit it.
32:34It's true.
32:35No.
32:36Not during.
32:37Before.
32:38You'll just realize.
32:39The thing that scared me the most during
32:41the gunfight with Abu Sayyaf.
32:43Oh, you were there?
32:44Yes, because it was so close.
32:45Where did you hide?
32:46We hid in a small wall.
32:49And?
32:50And there was a small barrier.
32:51That's it.
32:52Your barrier was small?
32:53The barrier was small.
32:54But there were two of us reporters.
32:55Were you still ready?
32:56No.
32:57We sat down.
32:58We sat down.
32:59We sat down because there was a bomb going off.
33:01What goes through your mind at that time?
33:04Me?
33:05How can I say goodbye?
33:06Like that.
33:08How can I say goodbye?
33:09That's what happened to me.
33:10Your thoughts are so tragic.
33:12How can I say goodbye?
33:13I'm here.
33:14My parents won't know what happened to me.
33:17You should really think about that.
33:19And my boyfriend.
33:20How can I say goodbye to my boyfriend?
33:22Of course, your boyfriend.
33:24Is that right?
33:25Were you really a reporter?
33:27When I was a kid, yes.
33:29That was your dream in life?
33:31Yes.
33:32News reporter?
33:33Reporter.
33:34More on print.
33:35Not TV.
33:36I never thought that I would become a TV reporter.
33:38Something like that.
33:39Of course, while you're reporting,
33:41sometimes you make mistakes.
33:43There are incidents like this.
33:45You have a lot of blueprints.
33:46Yes, a lot.
33:47Especially when it's new.
33:48You have a lot of blueprints.
33:50And the technology is new.
33:52Because it's not like before, right?
33:54It just came in when there was a PayPal.
33:56PayPal visit.
33:57Yes.
33:58Before, you were really nervous
34:00because for the first time,
34:01we were annotating live.
34:03In front of the camera.
34:04Yes, what's happening.
34:05What's happening.
34:06That's why at first,
34:07we were adjusting to the technology of live reporting.
34:11Because as it happens,
34:13you have to describe all the time.
34:15Yes.
34:16And your viewers have to feel
34:17what's happening right there and then.
34:20So there's a bit of acting.
34:22A bit.
34:23Right?
34:24To liven it up.
34:25So that the audience can feel
34:29what's really happening,
34:30what's the atmosphere that time.
34:32When does it become fun and fabulous
34:34to be a reporter?
34:35Fun.
34:36Usually, it's not.
34:37It's fun only because
34:39you get to see a lot of places.
34:41And meet a lot of people.
34:42And meet a lot of people.
34:43Like, what cantoys,
34:45what corners of the Philippines
34:47you can go to.
34:49Usually, like,
34:50if you're a tourist,
34:52you won't be able to see the mountains of Basilan.
34:54For me, that's the perk.
34:56Even if they're shooting at you.
34:58You might die.
35:00Fabulous.
35:01It's fabulous.
35:02Is it pay?
35:03Pay is fabulous.
35:04How about the pay?
35:05Is it fabulous?
35:06In GMA now,
35:07is my boss going to get mad?
35:09No, it's just between us.
35:11It's just between us.
35:12Yeah.
35:13There's no story.
35:14Just a bit.
35:15Okay, fab!
35:16That's fab.
35:18A lot of big-time broadcasters
35:20of GMA
35:21are being pirated by other stations.
35:23If you were given a big offer,
35:25would you desert the station?
35:27For me,
35:28I can't speak for the others.
35:30But for me,
35:31it would be very hard for me.
35:33Because GMA 7 trained me.
35:35GMA 7 trusted me to get the right stories
35:39for the big events.
35:41You know,
35:42that kind of training and trust
35:45for a rookie reporter,
35:47for a cub reporter,
35:48it's hard to leave that.
35:50Of course, that's where you start.
35:51And it's home.
35:52And it's home.
35:53That's right, that's right.
35:54How about this?
35:56You said earlier...
35:57Boyfriend,
35:58when you're tense,
36:00you don't know what to do.
36:02Have you thought about that?
36:03The...
36:04How will you do it
36:05when you say goodbye to your boyfriend?
36:08Actually, I already did that.
36:09One coverage.
36:11I already did that.
36:13I already did that.
36:14Because I feel like
36:15I might not be able to go back.
36:16What did you say?
36:17Nothing.
36:18I love you.
36:19That's it.
36:21So that,
36:22if ever something happens,
36:25while I'm away,
36:26Yes.
36:27So that I won't be beaten.
36:28So that I won't be beaten.
36:29Like if, for example,
36:30I die in that coverage,
36:33God forbid.
36:34So that I won't be beaten.
36:35So that I won't be beaten in that relationship.
36:38What is the most unforgettable assignment you did?
36:43For me,
36:44when Erap left.
36:46When he was out there.
36:47Unforgettable,
36:48because you know,
36:49that's when we really met.
36:50Correct.
36:51In that coverage.
36:52I can't forget that.
36:53It's so sad.
36:54Right?
36:55You can't see him running
36:57from inside the gate,
36:58out of the gate.
36:59He doesn't know where he's going.
37:02Right?
37:03I can't forget that.
37:04You made my day.
37:07But I didn't know.
37:08Because I was rushing the tape.
37:10Because we couldn't annotate
37:12the way Erap was leaving.
37:14And there was a letter.
37:15You had to read it.
37:16Yes.
37:17Something like that.
37:18So for me,
37:19I was rushing the tape
37:20because I wanted the viewers to see
37:22as soon as possible
37:24the scene where Erap was leaving.
37:26So I was running for my life.
37:28Because my boss was telling me to.
37:30What was your dream coverage?
37:32The US attack.
37:34How?
37:35In Afghanistan.
37:36You want to go to Afghanistan?
37:37Because I haven't been to Kabul yet.
37:39Right?
37:40You have,
37:41but I saw it on Discovery.
37:43But I like that, right?
37:45You're a Filipino reporter
37:46and you're in Afghanistan.
37:48But Christian Amanpour was able to do that.
37:50How did you get in?
37:53Did you pretend?
37:54I guess.
37:55What it takes to go inside.
37:57You'd do that?
37:58I'd do that.
37:59Because you're risking your life
38:02to get a story.
38:03In the line of work he chose,
38:05it's a given.
38:08It's a given risk.
38:10But I always caution my bosses.
38:13Take care of yourself
38:15while you're in the field.
38:17They always remind us
38:19to take care of ourselves.
38:21Don't be too fearless.
38:23Don't be too fearless
38:24because anything can happen to you.
38:26What tips can you give
38:28to aspiring reporters
38:30who want to be Machi Pulido?
38:33You have to be strong.
38:34That's all.
38:35You just have to be strong
38:36and have a thick face.
38:38You have to have a thick face.
38:39You don't have to be shy.
38:41Because if you're shy,
38:42you won't be able to get the person
38:44you need to get.
38:45And you have to project your voice.
38:47Like, Sir!
38:48Right?
38:49They have a lot.
38:50To be noticed.
38:51They have a lot of mics on their faces.
38:53You have to be beautiful
38:54and have cleavage.
38:55Right?
38:56So you can get Sir.
38:57Sir!
38:59Sir, can I interview you, Sir?
39:00Usually, that doesn't work though.
39:02It doesn't?
39:03No.
39:04Why not?
39:05They want to be respected.
39:07Usually, yeah.
39:08In my experience.
39:09Maybe because I don't have cleavage.
39:13Thank you.
39:14Thank you, Machi.
39:15Thank you for sharing
39:16with us your experiences.
