Transcript

00:00Welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

00:21For all the viewers on Facebook and YouTube listening to DZW, welcome to the program.

00:31Thank you very much.

00:34Our guests this afternoon are Lilith Matias, but that's going ahead of the story.

00:40Please welcome Lloyd Samartino and Rita Aguilar.

00:52Hi, Lloyd.

00:53Hello, Boy. Nice to see you.

00:54How are you?

00:55What is this? Why are we here?

00:57Who is this?

01:00Did you think you're the only one with a talk show?

01:02Me too.

01:03And it's even faster.

01:04I know.

01:06It gives people legal advice.

01:10Yes.

01:11Which he will need soon.

01:14Lorena, relax.

01:17Don't let it fall.

01:21Yes!

01:30What's it for?

01:31What an exercise.

01:32I know.

01:33The one you helped me with.

01:35Yeah.

01:37Let's talk first about it.

01:38Yes.

01:39I brought this because I want to thank you nationwide.

01:43Because Boy Abunda wrote the blurb for my Tagalog funny love story.

01:51I didn't know you're a novelist.

01:53That's true.

01:54I asked for help and he didn't refuse me.

01:59Thank you very much because the blurb you wrote is beautiful.

02:03Proud to be part of that book.

02:05By now, we all know that she is Lilith's mother.

02:10Yes.

02:11Were you surprised?

02:13I was.

02:14You were surprised?

02:15I was.

02:16Okay.

02:17But there's more to come.

02:19So it's not over yet?

02:20Not yet.

02:21Yes.

02:22People think that when Lilith's real mother finds out, the show is over.

02:27No.

02:28Because that's what they've been waiting for.

02:30The revelation.

02:31Correct.

02:32It's been a long time.

02:33Yes.

02:34But no.

02:35There's more to come.

02:36You know, I'd like to know.

02:37I mean, get your opinion.

02:38I'd like to get your opinion.

02:39What is the magic of Lilith Matias?

02:43What is the magic?

02:45I think, first of all, Joe Berry has a fan base.

02:50And I've always said this even in other interviews.

02:54I'm very happy that GMA and other stations are giving people like her a platform.

03:01Because the talent is there.

03:04You know, this is the first time I've worked with her.

03:07And I was amazed at how, what a good actress she is.

03:10Yes, she is.

03:11You know, and you forget the small size.

03:14Dita, what do you think?

03:16What is the magic of Lilith Matias?

03:19Joe Berry herself.

03:22She has angels like us.

03:24When she started, her father died.

03:27Her brother and an uncle within a month.

03:30And then she started taping for her show.

03:34So, her feelings were heavy.

03:36But now, I think she's being guided.

03:39And the kid is good.

03:41She's so kind.

03:43And she's so funny.

03:46She's really sunshine.

03:48She has a good disposition.

03:50Yes, yes.

03:51Our guest, Lilith Matias, how are you both?

03:55You remember the good old days.

03:57What comes to mind first when you talk about Nora Honor?

04:01I mean, I will say this over and over again, boy.

04:05My career is what it is because Nora Honor became my leading lady.

04:10When Annie Batumbacal came out, it catapulted me into leading man status.

04:16Only because she chose me to be part of that.

04:20Were you in a relationship during that time?

04:22No.

04:23I think it was made up to sell a movie.

04:28And I didn't know anything about that.

04:30Initially, because we were friends when we were doing Annie Batumbacal.

04:35And, of course, we saw each other.

04:38And people would take pictures.

04:40So, they would write all these things.

04:42And I would be told, not by her, but I would always be told,

04:46do not contradict because we're selling a film.

04:49Okay.

04:50So, go with the flow.

04:52All right.

04:53Until the movie finished.

04:57But there was never a boyfriend-girlfriend situation with her and me.

05:03Showbiz in the past and now.

05:06Differences and similarities.

05:08What is your experience?

05:09Because this is Seiko baby.

05:11In the past, I think we were the last batch of movie stars.

05:16Because movie stars and television stars are different.

05:19We were just guests in TV shows.

05:23Only to sell.

05:24And to sell a film.

05:25Yes.

05:26To sell a film.

05:27Yes, to promote a film.

05:28Then, I also experienced Sampaguita.

05:31Yes.

05:32There were fan clubs that were really shy.

05:36Then, when they asked for a picture with you,

05:41you would really write it.

05:43You would send it to them.

05:44You would mail it.

05:45Things like that.

05:47It was fun.

05:48It was fun.

05:50Then, when we were in the province,

05:53there were a lot of people.

05:55Either I would be carried to the other side.

05:59Or you would be under the people.

06:02The fans back then were rabid.

06:05Always the fans.

06:07I see it.

06:08When I see Katniel, it's the same.

06:12It's the same boy.

06:14Actually, I had a phobia after a while.

06:18You cannot go anywhere without being mobbed.

06:22I didn't know.

06:24Look at him.

06:26I didn't know.

06:28I did not have the mindset to understand

06:34that you're being mocked.

06:38Mom was a superstar.

06:39So, fame was not a new concept to you, I would assume.

06:43Well, her fame.

06:46Not mine.

06:47Correct.

06:48But you saw it.

06:49I saw it.

06:50Because your mom was a huge, massive, colossal star.

06:53That's why I was turned on into this industry.

06:57Because I saw the adulation that they had.

07:02I didn't see the dark side of the intrigue and all that.

07:06I just saw that wherever they went,

07:09they're paid so massively.

07:13And then, you're given VIP treatment all the time.

07:16Didn't your mom scold you?

07:17She said, son, this is what happens when you come here.

07:20You know, I'll tell you, my mom didn't want me to enter showbiz.

07:23And I never understood why.

07:25And it was much later that she explained it to me.

07:27She said, because you don't understand the heartache

07:31that comes with it.

07:32How affected was your private life during that time?

07:35Your love life, for example.

07:37Because you couldn't go private, Lloyd.

07:39I mean, how affected were you guys?

07:42I always felt very protective of my personal life.

07:46You know, whoever I dated, I didn't want.

07:49Because with others, you really, you make sure you're seen.

07:57You flaunt.

07:58You flaunt it because you want to be talked about.

08:00And I get that now.

08:02But during that time, I felt it was such an invasion of my, you know.

08:06Because sometimes, when you're in a relationship,

08:08people get scared.

08:10Or the family of the girl doesn't understand.

08:13Why are people, you know, calling us 24 hours a day?

08:17Okay.

08:18So, that was my experience.

08:20For me, the publicity was coming from, say, films.

08:27I was crying.

08:28Because why is it like that?

08:29I didn't do that.

08:30Why is it like that?

08:32I was able to hide my private life.

08:35That's why my advice to Joe Berry is, you know,

08:40you just tell the press whatever you want to say or you want to share with them.

08:47But you can keep what you want to be kept.

08:49And that's the true measure of power for a public figure.

08:54You control the narrative.

08:56Of course, you have to.

08:57When you become public, you're public.

08:59There is no turning back.

09:00So, if you have something to hide, hide it properly.

09:04Because the moment you taunt, the moment you seduce a public,

09:08that's different.

09:09And sometimes, we're not aware of that.

09:11But anyway, let's do fast talk.

09:16Let's do fast talk.

09:17Lloyd, this is yours.

09:19All right.

09:20Okay.

09:21Close up, zoom out.

10:09Lloyd, pray to God now.

10:11Keep me grateful.

10:13Yeah.

10:14Let me wake up every day, Lord, and make me stay grateful so I don't nitpick about what's not there.

10:23Okay.

10:25If you wake up and you thank the Lord, you know, Lord, I'm awake.

10:30I'm alive.

10:31I have a room.

10:33I have air conditioning.

10:34I have a job.

10:37That starts it.

10:39And I share that with all other actors, too.

10:42All friends.

10:43Because we tend to focus on, I don't have this.

10:48I want Gabi's career.

10:50I want Coco Martin's career.

10:53You forget the blessings because you're so focused on the shallow stuff, in a way.

10:59So if you start your day with gratefulness, then doors open.

11:05And you're content.

11:06Lloyd, Rita, as parents, what are you afraid of?

12:44Happiness.

12:45Best time for happiness?

12:47Anytime.

12:49What is your message for yourself today?

12:54Rita, since you're turning senior, enjoy life the way you wanna enjoy it.

13:01Love yourself, grow, find more interesting things to do in life.

13:07Let's talk about being parents.

13:09How are you and your son?

13:10It's still a work in progress.

13:11It is.

13:12What are you afraid of as a father?

13:14That my son will become a failure, not financially, but a failure in becoming a productive citizen.

13:24And I want my son to do great things.

13:29He was fortunate because of my in-laws.

13:33They made sure that all the grandchildren go to very good schools.

13:37My son went to an Ivy League school.

13:39But that's only a beginning.

13:41That's not enough.

13:43It's what you do with it that matters.

13:45What are you hoping for?

13:48Can I name him with Sergio?

13:50Serio.

13:51What are you hoping for?

13:52I want to be a bigger part of his life.

13:54I want him to be part of my life more.

13:58Because I'm not getting any younger.

14:00I'm slightly older than you, Rita.

14:03But with the people that you love, they enrich your lives.

14:08And that's what I want.

14:10And most of my intimate or close friendships are always with friends.

14:16Because I'm an only child.

14:19I have my mother.

14:21I don't have a father.

14:23And then my son is also an only child.

14:26So there are many holes in our lives that need to be filled up.

14:31I hear you, Lloyd.

14:33Rita, you're a mother.

14:35And your motherhood is complete.

14:37You know now you have Kate, right?

14:40While he was talking, what was playing in your mind?

14:45I'm also an only child.

14:46My parents are also separated.

14:48Kate is also an only child.

14:50Her parents are also separated.

14:52So, I guess...

14:55It perpetuates, sadly.

14:56I told him that we were meant to meet, to learn from each other, to help each other.

15:03Because we have the same wound.

15:06That's true.

15:09I'm afraid to be like my mother.

15:14I don't want to be...

15:16Sorry, my mother to her.

15:19I want to embrace her as a better mother.

15:24That's what she needs.

15:26You want to fix them.

15:28No, and I want to be a better mother.

15:31I want to be a better mother than my mother.

15:34It makes a lot of sense.

15:36Even for the best mothers.

15:38That's all, Rita.

15:39Because I also wanted to pay tribute to you.

15:41I will always remember you.

15:43Because you're from FM.

15:45You stuck to your core.

15:47You stuck to your truth.

15:49And this is us.

15:51That's why I asked you earlier.

15:53Are you able to talk about the babies, for example?

15:56Being dull parents, for example.

15:59It was not easy.

16:01Yeah.

16:02It was not easy.

16:04But you stuck to your guns.

16:06Where did you draw your strength from?

16:09And even with Yesu.

16:11I mean, sorry to mention his name.

16:13But I said, you're a creation of both love and pain.

16:16But I said, look at my friend, he's still holding on.

16:19Yes.

16:21God.

16:22Yeah, right?

16:23True.

16:24Maybe it's because I have the truth.

16:29You have the courage, right?

16:31Because other people, it's easy for them to judge that you're crazy.

16:37You're crazy, right?

16:39You're crazy.

16:41True.

16:42Because, sorry, but they're stupid.

16:45True.

16:46They're stupid.

16:48They're dumb.

16:50They're crazy.

16:52If they don't understand what you're doing.

16:54True.

16:56And in the Philippines, boy, there are a lot of crazy people.

16:59We brought the Daos to other countries.

17:02Everybody was delighted.

17:05It's different.

17:07The reception is different.

17:09Even in the airplane, the stewardess said,

17:11Oh, your kids are the most behaved on this flight.

17:13It's different.

17:14I said, why do Filipinos look at us like this?

17:18Here, it's so normal.

17:20They're so positive.

17:22So, there's still a difference in the way Filipinos think.

17:26Sorry.

17:27There should be a club for doll owners.

17:30Doll parents.

17:32Because there are people who come up to me,

17:34Ms. Rita, I also have a doll.

17:37We also celebrate birthdays.

17:39I said, why are you shy?

17:41Like that.

17:43I said, it's okay.

17:45So, they were inspired at that time.

17:48So, if there are people who think that it's not good for me,

17:51there are people who have lived their lives.

17:54They found their voice.

17:56Because you have your voice.

17:58And they know that they're not wrong.

18:00There's nothing wrong with what we're doing.

18:02But thank you so much for this opportunity.

18:04And let's invite everyone to join us in Lillet Matias.

18:07Yes.

18:09Ladies first.

18:10How long have you been waiting?

18:13You still have a lot to wait.

18:16Okay?

18:18Lillet Matias, attorney at law.

18:20You still have a lot of cases, you still have a lot of problems,

18:22you still have a lot of fights with Meredith.

18:25It's because of you.

18:27Meredith, Meredith.

18:29For me, I am very, very grateful to the fans of Lillet.

18:32Because of you guys, we have been extended until next year.

18:36Yes.

18:37Let's give her a round of applause.

18:43What a wonderful Christmas gift that you've given us.

18:50And Director Adolf and our EP, Ms. Arlene Pilapil.

18:53They are our parents.

18:55They are our supporters.

18:57Thank you so much.

18:59And to you, thank you so much.

19:01I still call Rita a flower.

19:03But you have a heart.

19:04Thank you so much for your support to us.

19:07To your homes every day.

19:09And be kind.

19:12Make your mom and dad proud.

19:14And say thank you.

19:16And do one good thing a day and make this world a better place.

19:19Goodbye for now. God bless.
