Welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
00:07
To all of our Facebook and YouTube followers, to all of our listeners in the Philippines,
00:24
welcome to the program.
00:31
Exciting po ang ating hapon.
00:36
Alam ho ng lahat na ako'y masugid na tagahanga na nag-iisang superstar na si Nora Honor.
00:43
Alam din ng sambayanan that I am a rabid, insane, crazy, devoted fan of our guest today.
00:52
The one and only concert king, the king forever, Naytay Capuso, please welcome the one and the only, Martin Rivera.
01:10
I'm here.
01:12
I know.
01:16
I love you, boy.
01:17
I love you, Martin.
01:19
I have missed you so much.
01:21
Sobra. Maraming maraming salamat.
01:23
Oh my gosh.
01:24
Maraming maraming salamat.
01:25
So 20 minutes per gap?
01:26
I know.
01:27
Ganon?
01:28
Alam mo, when we were talking about the show, listen to this.
01:31
When we were talking about the show, sabi ko, what?
01:33
How much time do we have?
01:34
We have 19 minutes, Martin.
01:36
Oh no!
01:37
So we might as well start.
01:38
You are doing, and I'm so excited, the king forever.
01:43
Ako nang magpla-pla.
01:44
You shut up.
01:45
This is my job.
01:47
On September, October, September, September 27th, that's this coming Friday, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum,
01:55
the king forever will sing on stage again.
02:02
Thank you for the plug.
02:03
That's all the time we've got.
02:04
Thank you so much.
02:05
Yeah.
02:06
See you next week.
02:07
I love you.
02:08
And I love you because you're doing this concert.
02:10
And I love you for having me here.
02:12
I cannot promote this show without doing your show.
02:14
Salamat.
02:15
It's impossible because in my 42 years, you were the most instrumental, the most important magic in all of my 42 years.
02:24
Alam mo to this day, every time I'm in your presence, ganito ako, every time I'm in the presence of Martin Rivera,
02:31
ganito akong kumilos, this is Gigi, Marts, remember her?
02:37
This is Ardy.
02:38
To this day.
02:39
Because I want to make sure that he doesn't miss out on any names.
02:44
One time he said to me, Mart, this is your mother.
02:46
He's always introducing me.
02:50
Remember Ange?
02:51
You sleep with her.
02:52
He always makes sure.
02:53
Hi, Ange.
02:54
I missed you.
02:55
Hi, Joey.
02:56
Always, always introduce.
02:57
Because he was my official publicist.
03:00
I was your official publicist from day one, Martin Rivera.
03:03
But since life, you've been guiding me to the right choices.
03:05
No, you've been guiding me because I was lost.
03:07
Listen, ano ang aasahan ng iyong mga tagahanga dito sa The King Forever?
03:12
That happens again September 27 at the Araneta Coliseum.
03:16
Well, sana mag-e-expect sila ng nostalgia.
03:20
Ibabalik tayo sa dati.
03:22
Sa mga songs ko, all the songs I've done in the last 42 years.
03:25
Hindi naman sa lahat yung mga songs.
03:27
But sa mga, sana, the songs I hope that they've been waiting to hear.
03:32
Even the way we're doing the concert, yung parang concerts before.
03:35
The 80s and 90s, hindi masyadong high-tech.
03:38
Yung old-school na style.
03:40
Very small band.
03:42
Not a huge band to overpower the singer.
03:45
I'm gonna try and sing again for more than two hours,
03:47
which I've not done in a long, long time.
03:49
Actually, with Sila Oggy and Regine, even Gary,
03:53
everyone got involved and wanted me to be back on the big stage.
03:57
They're guesting.
03:58
They all volunteered.
03:59
Pops will be there.
04:01
Even the company.
04:02
And when they found out I was doing a big show,
04:04
they all said we want to be in the show.
04:06
So, all my friends.
04:07
I had a conversation with Oggy.
04:09
I'm sorry, Oggy, I will have to tell Martin on air.
04:11
Inis na inis ako sayo.
04:13
Because you were saying, you know, can I still do it?
04:15
I am nervous.
04:17
Sabi ni Oggy sakin, can you call him?
04:19
I said, I don't want to call him.
04:21
I want him to be on the show.
04:23
Do you have that episode?
04:25
I mean, for all your talent.
04:27
I mean, I'm talking as a fan, as a friend, and as a music lover.
04:32
May dumadaan ka talaga sa pagkakataon na you still doubt, Martin?
04:36
Well, siyempre, after all these years, 42 years in the business,
04:39
tapos nanonoodo ko sa mga ibang artists ngayon,
04:42
music has changed, yung style ng direction has changed.
04:46
That's why I have Paolo Valenciano to kind of show me how
04:49
yung itura ng mga concerts ngayon,
04:52
siyempre, nakaka-tense yun.
04:55
I'll go to your quote.
04:57
You know, you would say, you know, they're getting better,
04:59
and they're getting younger.
05:01
I'm just going to tell you something,
05:03
and this is coming from my heart,
05:05
but there will always be, and there will only be,
05:09
one Martin Nivera.
05:12
Siyempre, you and I know this.
05:16
I mean, we will go.
05:17
The one immutable law in the business is that no one lasts forever.
05:20
Alam natin niyo, but there will always be just one Martin Nivera.
05:25
And I say it straight to your face,
05:27
and I say it straight to the faces of the public.
05:30
That's why everybody is so excited.
05:32
We are so excited.
05:33
Antonio Ibarra is here.
05:34
We are so excited because we're coming back to the big stage,
05:37
which you started.
05:39
Well, not too many of the kids watching know that.
05:42
You started it.
05:44
We needed a guinea pig to go to the big stage
05:46
to see kung kaya talaga ng isang artist.
05:48
I remember. What was that?
05:49
Many years ago.
05:50
83.
05:51
Martin wanted, you were the first one to go to Ultra,
05:54
and many other things.
05:55
I'm talking like a publicist.
05:56
But anyway, para namang magkaroon ng ideya,
05:59
lalo ng mga bata, on how you started.
06:02
I'm sure a lot of your fans.
06:04
Tell me about a story of the song Feelings.
06:08
Feelings?
06:09
Yes.
06:10
Well, I was singing Feelings.
06:11
Galing mo ah.
06:12
Ano ka ba?
06:13
I was singing Feelings.
06:14
That's where I was discovered, in the locker room after a basketball game.
06:16
Shower?
06:17
Hindi ako naglaro, so kunyari naglaro ako,
06:19
so antagal ko sa shower.
06:20
Habang nung nagsishower, nage-enjoy ko sa reverbed echo.
06:25
Right.
06:26
May dumaan ng isang lalaki.
06:28
Wrestling coach.
06:29
Wrestling coach.
06:30
Hindi naman nanood.
06:31
Nakikinig siya sa akin.
06:33
Sabi niya sa akin,
06:34
Hey, I want you to audition tomorrow for the choir.
06:37
So I joined the choir.
06:38
I became part of the choir.
06:40
Which did backup vocals.
06:41
For Barry Manilow.
06:42
See, we're telling the story together.
06:44
Even before that.
06:45
Siguro kasabayan ng mga panahon ito.
06:47
He makes the best burgers.
06:49
I do.
06:50
That one I will accept.
06:51
Yes.
06:52
You do talaga.
06:53
My kids love it.
06:54
I love it.
06:55
I slap it on with lots of barbecue sauce.
06:56
Because they had a restaurant.
06:57
Tell us a short story.
06:58
In California, we had a burger place right by the BART station,
07:01
which no longer exists.
07:02
It's a parking lot.
07:03
But back then,
07:04
we used to make burgers sa mga dumadaan diyan after they get home from work.
07:08
Right.
07:09
We would make burgers, adobo sandwiches, lumpia.
07:11
Who knows that?
07:13
It's called the Roadrunner Burgers Conquered California.
07:16
Okay.
07:17
Do you also know that Martin Rivera won a California-wide talent search
07:25
sometime, I mean, just before you started.
07:29
I think it was...
07:30
81.
07:31
81.
07:32
Just before you came back to the Philippines.
07:34
And tinalo niya po over 4,000 contestants in that contest.
07:40
Palagpakan hoon natin.
07:41
Back in the day, boy.
07:44
That was big before.
07:45
Wala pa yung mga musical reality shows na mga idol and all of that.
07:49
But that was huge.
07:50
That was huge.
07:51
Because that was big before.
07:52
It was four days long.
07:54
Deka, itong kwento noon.
07:56
Pagayaw ako sa kwento.
07:57
Why did you even guess?
07:58
Isang araw.
07:59
You don't need me here.
08:00
Listen, one day, you had to be a winner.
08:02
And then you proceed if you win.
08:04
And then if you win, you go to the next day.
08:06
So it was tough.
08:08
And you did greatest love of all.
08:10
And then you came back to the Philippines.
08:12
And that's when I knew this is what I want to do.
08:14
I want to follow my father's footsteps.
08:15
So sabi ko sa daddy at sa mommy ko,
08:17
please, samahin mo ako sa Philippines para I can live my dream.
08:22
And that's what I've been doing for 40 years.
08:23
Before that, Martin's father, Tito Bert Rivera,
08:26
used to sing with the Society of Seven at the Outrigger Hotel.
08:30
On Olulufo.
08:31
Your story also says that at about 14, you actually sang with the group.
08:36
I did.
08:37
You did?
08:38
I did. For fun.
08:39
Do you remember the kind of songs that your dad and the band and you would do?
08:43
Well, the Society, back when I was 14, it was just for fun.
08:46
But after so many years, when I became a singer, I actually joined them in Las Vegas.
08:51
I became one of the members.
08:52
It was like a dream come true watching them as a child.
08:55
Nakasama mo na sila.
08:56
Kasama ko sila sa mga…
08:58
Even in my dreams, I was dreaming to be one of the members of the Society of Seven.
09:02
Even to this day, everyone in Hawaii wants to be a member of the Society of Seven.
09:07
And I became one of them back when they were still at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.
09:13
So all my dreams as a kid have been realized.
09:17
Okay. And then we moved on.
09:20
Be My Lady happened.
09:22
Yes.
09:23
At pagkatapos po noon, nagtrabaho kami dito sa GMA7 because we did Penthouse Live with Pops Fernandez.
09:30
Yes, we did. Thank you, Pops. Thank you.
09:32
Of course.
09:33
Listen, listen. Pero, you know, nabago rin ang buhay, diba, when you did television?
09:38
Because, you know, a series of television shows happened in your career.
09:42
Yes. All happened right here in GMA7.
09:45
When you didn't have 17 floors. Wala pang elevator.
09:50
Naalala mo, you know. Naalala mo.
09:52
Oh, yes. People used to watch Penthouse Live through the feet of other people.
09:56
That's how low our studio was.
09:59
And that's when I met Pops and we did Penthouse Live for about five or six years.
10:03
Yes.
10:04
And we did it right here.
10:05
How was it coming home today?
10:07
It was weird. First of all, no one met me.
10:10
Having said that, walang red carpet. Having said that also, no, it was great.
10:16
I knew the way. I knew the way, but I didn't recognize the building.
10:20
And those two people dancing in the front, they haven't moved.
10:23
I'll tell you something, but it's in the heart. Look at these guys here.
10:26
It's in the heart. You're so loved.
10:27
I just saw my very first ever makeup artist.
10:31
I remembered him, his mother, and his sister.
10:34
Wow. Talaga.
10:36
Anthony.
10:37
You know, and the best thing about you, and I will say this again, you remember.
10:42
You know?
10:44
There's this Indian poet whose poem is, you remember.
10:48
You remember everything. You remember everything. It's in your heart.
10:51
Oh, important people in my life like you, boy.
10:54
Like you, Martin.
10:55
I will never forget you.
10:56
I will never forget you, too.
10:57
I will never forget you.
10:58
I'm so part of your life.
10:59
I will never forget you.
11:00
I knew everything that happened. Lahat, lahat.

You're still interesting because...
12:57
Martin Rivera has not stopped to be interested.
13:01
That's you.
13:03
Okay.
13:04
Sana kahit isang saglit,
13:06
ay hindi naman ako papayag na hindi man lamang makanta
13:08
ang ilang linya po mula sa awiting ito.
13:10
But, Martz,
13:12
nasaan tayo
13:14
pagdating sa global music scene?
13:17
Where is the Filipino artist
13:20
in the context of the global scene?
13:22
You're a father, you're a partner,
13:24
you're a son.
13:26
Can you rank the three?
13:28
One being the most important.
13:31
At sabihin mo sa amin kung bakit
13:33
ang kasagutan sa pagbabalik po
13:35
ng Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
13:45
Back on the show
13:47
with the one and only Martin Rivera.
13:48
The concert is going Friday,
13:50
that's September 27 at the Araneta Coliseum.
13:53
He has about 2,000 guests.
13:55
So, no, no, no.
13:57
Pipa will be there, Regine, Gary,
13:59
who else?
14:01
Oggy will be there.
14:03
So, come and watch the show.
14:05
Kanina, Martz,
14:07
Ia Villana signed her contract.
14:09
It's a renewal contract for
14:11
24 hours.
14:13
And, maraming salamat,
14:15
G.G. Lara was there, Olly was there,
14:17
our boss in the news.
14:19
Maraming salamat, GMA7, for the support you've given
14:21
to us and to Ia Arellano.
14:23
I didn't know that one of Ia's
14:25
best friends is Sam.
14:27
Yes.
14:29
Who is married to your director.
14:31
Yes, Paolo Balintyano.
14:33
Sam po ay anak ng kapatid ni Martin
14:35
and Paolo is married to Sam Godinez.
14:37
Yes, so I am now a Balintyano.
14:39
Sabi ko, what, Ia?
14:41
Me too.
14:43
What a small world.
14:45
Nasaan tayo, Martin, pag pinag-uusapan
14:47
the global music scene?
14:49
I think
14:51
we're in a very good place.
14:53
Filipino music, as we know it,
14:55
original Filipino music, it's really so nice.
14:57
It's really so
14:59
accepted.
15:01
Even songs that you think would not
15:03
make it before,
15:05
they're so welcome right now in the music industry.
15:07
The sound that we're making today,
15:09
we don't really, it's hard to define
15:11
kung anong ibig sabihin ng opera.
15:13
Anong tunog Filipino?
15:15
What you're hearing today from the young composers
15:17
and the young songwriters,
15:19
that's the sound.
15:21
Sila TJ Monterde,
15:23
si KZ Tandingan.
15:25
Many, many singers.
15:27
Just to name a few. Ben and Ben.
15:29
Ben and Ben.
15:31
These are the songs that are going to be
15:33
the soundtrack of our lives of tomorrow.
15:35
And we're in a very good place.
15:37
Martin, you're a son, you're a partner,
15:39
you're a father.
15:41
I'll rephrase my question.
15:43
Who are you first?
15:45
Son, father, or partner?
15:47
I think it's important
15:49
to be a partner.
15:51
I think as a partner,
15:53
knowing how to be, having a partnership,
15:55
I think teaches you
15:57
the good traits of how to be a father
15:59
or a grandfather, now that I'm a grandfather.
16:01
I think I want to be friends,
16:03
a partner with my children,
16:05
a partner with my partner.
16:07
A partner with mom, a partner with,
16:09
you know.
16:11
Life is now all about teamwork.
16:13
The world is different now.
16:15
We're stronger when we are together.
16:17
But you were telling us off-cam,
16:19
you discovered that in the past
16:21
42 years, you were breathing
16:23
