00:00Now, on December 25, Metro Manila Film Festival will be held with 10 entries, if I'm correct.

00:11One of these entries is Isang Himala.

00:14This is a reimagined version of the classic film which was shown 1982,

00:21that starred National Artist Nora Honor, directed by National Artist Ishmael Bernal,

00:26written by our National Artist Ricky Lee.

00:30Now, this is a reimagined version, and we will talk about the stars of Isang Himala.

00:37But this time, this is still written, of course, by Ricky, but directed by the brilliant Pepe Jokno.

00:43And the star is one of the most brilliant performers in the country today.

00:49Naytay Kapuso, please welcome Aisle Sande.

01:00Thank you very much, Aisle.

01:02Thank you for having me here. Thank you.

01:04You are welcome here every day.

01:07Thank you very much.

01:08I just watched the trailer, and I repeated it over and over again.

01:13How are you?

01:14Now, I'm nervous.

01:16I feel more nervous talking to you than singing.

01:19No, but I was telling Aisle off-cam that I've seen you in a number of musicals.

01:23You've done a lot. You did Katy, you did Rock of Ages,

01:27Rock of Ages, yeah.

01:28Rock of Ages, Maynila,

01:30Maynila sa Kokonang Liyuanag.

01:32Sa Kokonang Liyuanag, and there's more.

01:34Miss Saigon.

01:35Of course, you played Gigi in Miss Saigon.

01:37I like that story.

01:38Yes.

01:39When you auditioned, what did you sing? Music in my mind?

01:42I sang Movie in My Mind.

01:43Music, I'm sorry.

01:44Yes.

01:45Movie in My Mind.

01:46But did you find out who the white person in front of you was?

01:49I didn't know.

01:50You didn't know.

01:51That he was the composer of Miss Saigon.

01:54So, it's a good thing.

01:56I wasn't too nervous.

01:58I just found out that the panel in front of me was Sean Berg

02:04when I was in the UK.

02:06Okay.

02:07When you auditioned for Aisle, he said you're too nice.

02:09Yeah.

02:10He actually said you're too nice.

02:12Okay.

02:13So, he told me the story.

02:14Oh, this is the background of Gigi.

02:15Now, sing it again.

02:17So, I followed Gigi's story.

02:19When I sang, there was a tear in my eye.

02:22I accepted it.

02:24Because of the tear.

02:25Maybe because of the tear.

02:26It's funny because I was with Isay Alvarez,

02:30the original Gigi in the first edition of Miss Saigon in London,

02:35who played Gigi.

02:37Isabel was with the Manila Metropolitan Theater Chorus.

02:41I was a PA in the Met.

02:44But we were friends.

02:46Congratulations.

03:11Congratulations.

03:41Congratulations.

03:42Congratulations.

04:11Congratulations.

04:12Congratulations.
