00:00It's been a while, but honestly, I've been good, Tito Boy.

00:09Change of pace for me, being in the limelight for a while, during that time being the center

00:14of attention, then suddenly focus on family.

00:17So it was a big turnaround for me.

00:19And I wouldn't have it any other way, honestly.

00:22How difficult was that turnaround?

00:26Well, it was difficult in the sense that I worked every day before, and then I'm stuck

00:32at home with the babies, and then in my case, and also my wife, we have kids one after the other.

00:39You have three, right?

00:39Yes, we have three kids.

00:42They're all—

00:42Seven, five, four?

00:44Seven, five, and four, Tito Boy, correct.

00:45And when they're together, it's complete chaos.

00:49But it's awesome.

00:51I wouldn't have it, like I said, I wouldn't have it any other way.

00:53It's really fun to be a father.

00:55Okay, so involved with the kids, meaning hands-on talaga?

01:00Yes, I wake up in the morning to wake them up to go to school.

01:04Ako naghahatin sa kanila.

01:05I'm the one who picks them up.

01:07As in, pretty much my world is really them.

01:11It's really my family.

01:12Jeff and you are happy?

01:13Yes, very happy.

01:14Kasama mo ang mini-me mo, sabi mo ba?

01:16Yes, yes, we're all this, yes.

01:18Paano ka binago?

01:19I mean, ano pa ang mga pagbabago na nangyari sa buhay mo dahil sa iyong mga anak?

01:23Because of fatherhood.

01:25I guess kasi the biggest change when you're a father, you tend to look inside more.

01:32Kasi ako, in my case, maraming nangyayari sakin na,

01:37Uy, I react a certain way to my kids.

01:40And after that happens, I think na, bakit ko ginawa yun?

01:44Honestly, I've never apologized so much in my life since having kids.

01:49Kasi sunod-sunod na, bigla ko nalaman na I'm such a hothead pala

01:53when it comes to like little things and all that.

01:55So what do you apologize for sa iyong mga anak?

01:59For ano, mostly being out of line.

02:03Kasi they are kids, it's hard for them to grasp certain things

02:08kasi they don't understand the world fully yet.

02:10So iba yung mundo ng bata sa mundo ng matanda.

02:14Siyempre, as much as possible, I try to explain myself to my kids na,

02:20it's because daddy's having a bad day, that's why I reacted that way.

02:23So I have to explain more things.

02:25And yun yan, I tend to apologize kasi nga lagi akong pumipitik.

02:30And it's not their fault.

02:31And have you become more giving?

02:33Have you become more patient?

02:35That's the word.

02:36Yes, yes.

02:37Ever since our firstborn, sobrang anlaki ng pagbabago na,

02:41especially now with our youngest who's four years old na,

02:43napansin namin ang wife ko na iba.

02:47The way we handle things with our youngest is different from our firstborn and our secondborn.

02:54So parang, kasi dun sa udang dalawa, we were still learning.

02:58So now it's more of like, we have everything under control.

03:02And everything, mas educated na kami about being parents.

03:06So it's easier this time around.

03:08Sinabi mo kanina na, you've never apologized more than, I mean, this stage in your life.

03:15At saka, ang pinanggalingan mo kasi, isang mundo.

03:16Sabi mo, ngayon fatherhood has made you look inside.

03:21Yes.

03:22And you were coming from a job, coming from a business,

03:24when the external, when presentation is what we live for.

03:30Yes, yes.

03:30Ano ang perception ng tao.

03:32Validation from an audience.

03:34Mahusaya akong artista.

03:35Gwapo akong artista.

03:37So that was where I was coming from when I was asking about the pivot, yung pag-ikot.

03:43Oo.

03:44Hindi ka naman masyadong nahirapan.

03:47It was quite an adjustment.

03:48It was a mind-bender, if I can say.

03:51Talaga?

03:52Yeah.

03:52Kasi totally different world talaga sya.

03:54Kaya pag-artista ka, you do play with your emotions on screen and all that.

04:01Pero it's, when you're an actor, when you're a public figure,

04:04it's hard to wear your heart on your sleeve.

04:07Tama.

04:07Because everybody will see.

04:10You can't have a bad day and show it to people.

04:12You should always have the…

04:14So ganun.

04:14So in a sense, medyo nagguluhan lang ako.

04:17But now everything's better.

04:20I'm at a better place now.

04:21Mas understanding of what's going on in my life.

04:23So happy.

04:24Jeff, did you imagine na mararating mo ang stage nito?

04:28Not this way.

04:29Not this way.

04:30I've always imagined myself na maaga akong magkakakids and all that.

04:35But technically, I'm a late bloomer.

04:37How are you as a husband?

04:39I would like to say I'm sweet.

04:41You are.

04:41Yeah.

04:43But I also have my shortcomings.

04:45That's for sure.

04:46No one is perfect.

04:47I mean, ako I always say that.

04:49Not because people say it.

04:51Wala hong perfectong tao.

04:52Lahat tayo may pitik.

04:54Yes.

04:54Lahat tayo may…

04:55Di ba?

04:56Yeah.

04:57Lahat naman tayo.

04:58We all have our aches.

05:01In my case, masarap lang kasi I found someone who understands

05:04what's going on in me, with me.

05:06So I explain to her.

05:09We talk about things.

05:10We're always on the same page about everything.

05:13Through our eight years together, maraming na kaming pinagdaanan.

05:17I'm sure that we're still going to be going through so much more stuff.

05:21But we're a team.

05:23It's going to be hard to stop us.

05:24Pero bilang isang artista, as a public figure, nami-miss mo?

05:28Yes.

05:29You do miss me?

05:30Yes, yes.

05:31I do.

05:31Wow, okay.

05:32It's something that I pretty much grew up in.

05:35Our whole family does it.

05:37I've done it ever since I was young.

05:39It's an understatement.

05:40Your whole family.

05:41And then your whole clan.

05:43Yes, yes.

05:44So it's good to be here again.

05:48Being inside the studios.

05:50Feeling nostalgic because of how my life was like 20 years ago.

05:55So it's been a while, but it's still in the blood.

05:59I don't think it'll ever go away.

06:01Yeah.

06:01Ang tanong dito, it's in the blood.

06:05Bukas ka kung isa sa mga anak o lahat sila ay sabihin,

06:08Pa, gusto kong mag-artista.

06:11Are you open?

06:12Honestly, today before coming here, my youngest daughter, who's four years old, had a school play.

06:19Yes, and she was spectacular.

06:22I'm not being biased or anything, but she was really so cute.

06:25She played Snow White.

06:26And sobrang happy lang ako.

06:28It brought a tear to my eye watching her perform.

06:30But honestly, with your question, Tito Mario, it's really up to them.

06:34The same thing my parents did to us.

06:37Mike and Gina.

06:38Yes.

06:41They gave us the option to choose if we want to be in show business or not.

06:45And that's beautiful.

06:46That's what we're gonna do with them.

06:48With your children.

06:49Okay.

08:08So

08:26You
