00:00Within four decades, Mimi Villarreal was recognized as one of the best jazz dancers in the country.

00:08But despite her successes, she faced a big problem in her life once upon a time.

00:14This is her story.

00:30My name is Mimi Villarreal.

00:47I am a professional dancer.

00:51I have been dancing for the longest time in Douglas Niera's Power Dance.

00:56Since 1990 until now.

01:00Prior to that, when I was still in grade school,

01:03my dad would get tickets from his work to shows in CCP.

01:09And the first time I told myself I wanted to be a dancer

01:14was when I saw Ramahari by Ballet Philippines choreographed by our national artist,

01:22Alice Reyes, national artist in dance.

01:25That's when I fell in love.

01:27That's when I imagined myself on stage.

01:31That was the first time.

01:32I don't remember how old I was, but I was still in grade school.

01:36I said to myself, I will become a dancer.

01:39A well-known performing artist,

01:41her love for dancing came from her early participation in the world of theater.

01:48We got involved in theater and we loved it.

01:52Because theater is an integrated art,

01:55there's dance, there's movement and dance.

01:58Aside from acting, aside from visual arts, script writing.

02:04And of course, movement and dance became my favorite.

02:07I enrolled in ballet.

02:09I think I became a teacher to all the talented ballet teachers in the Philippines.

02:15But I didn't learn ballet.

02:16I didn't feel that I needed the strength and the technique.

02:21Tapos I would enroll.

02:23Outside of PETA, ako and a partner, ako and another dancer in PETA,

02:31we would go to all the dance schools.

02:34We would go to CCP workshop.

02:38We would go to the Met.

02:41And when there are guest dance companies who gave master classes,

02:46we would be the ones sent by PETA.

02:48In one of their commission shows,

02:52bigla akong in-ask ni Tito Douglas.

02:56Studente lang ako no na.

02:59Mimi, pumunta ka sa rehearsals.

03:03Sa pagdating ko sa rehearsals,

03:05meron ang tinuro sakin, nabilis, four dances.

03:08Kasi bakit daw?

03:09Tomorrow na yung show. Bukas na.

03:13Siguro mga one week na sila nag-rehearse.

03:15Bakit ako napunta dun?

03:17Kasi hindi dumating yung isang dancer.

03:21The day before rehearsals.

03:23So photo finish, inaral ko lahat ng sayaw.

03:26And nag-perform na ako at power dance.

03:29So nag-remember na ako ng power dance.

03:31Wala nang balikan yun.

03:33Sa kabila ng kanyang makulay na karera,

03:36maraming pagsubok ang hinarap ni Mimi.

03:38Kabila nga, ang pagkasira ng tahanan kinhenya

03:42sa kasagsagan ng bagimondoy.

03:45Umabot sa second floor ng bahay,

03:47yung baha ng undoy, in Antipolo.

03:51Because the house was located in the area

03:56that's a catch basin.

03:58It's beside a creek.

04:00Tapos ang daming nang kinalbo

04:03ng mga parts ng bundok.

04:05Ginawang subdivisions, upstream.

04:08Nabasa lahat yung piano ko.

04:10By the way, I used to play the piano.

04:14So yung piano ko nasira.

04:18In the account ko nun,

04:20aning nasako na libro tapo na lahat.

04:24So maraming nawala.

04:26So nung nakikita ko yung sunog,

04:29parang hindi na rin new na nakikita kong nasisira

04:33na kinakain ng apoy yung laman ng second floor.

04:40Noong ika-isa ng huyo,

04:42isang trahedya ang muling dumating

04:44na masunog ang bahay ni Mimi.

04:47First experience ko yung nasunog,

04:50na nadamay yung bahay ko sa sunog.

04:53Nagsimula doon sa sunog

04:55nung bahay sa likod namin na nakadikit.

04:58Bahay yun ng mga pinsan ko.

05:01Gabi yun, after 11pm,

05:04buti nalang gising ako.

05:06I was on the phone.

05:07Tapos nagsisigawan yung mga tao sa labas.

05:10Yung sabi,

05:11labas na kayo dyan, labas na kayo dyan lahat.

05:13So I had no idea na may sunog.

05:16Wala naman kasi sumisigaw ng sunog, sunog.

05:19So I guess,

05:20dahil nakikita nila yung susunog,

05:21wala nang sisigaw ng sunog.

05:23So akala ko nun,

05:24na baka meron lang nagwawala na tao

05:28na nakapasok doon sa gate namin.

05:31Kasi yung pala,

05:32yung apoy,

05:33nagsimula,

05:34nagsimula sa second floor nung kapitbahay.

05:37So imagine,

05:38kung tulog ako nun,

05:39wala akong aamoy,

05:40e di,

05:41at hindi ko rin may,

05:43kung tulog ako,

05:44hindi ko maririnig yung sigawan

05:46kasi tulog ako, tulog.

05:49So,

05:50kinuha ko lang yung backpack ko,

05:52yung gamot ko sa,

05:53yung essential oils ko

05:55para sa elevated blood pressure.

05:59Tapos,

06:00naalala ko yung isang bag ng mga artworks

06:03na hindi pa naframe ng isang best friend ko,

06:06isang madami yun.

06:08So,

06:09isa yun sa mga most precious,

06:12valuable na meron dun sa,

06:14dun lang sa baba ng bahay ko

06:16kasi sa taas,

06:17hindi na ako aakyat doon.

06:18Kinuha ko lang yun,

06:19sandali na,

06:20lumabas na ako.

06:21Bagamat masakit ang pangayaring ito,

06:24hindi na tinagsinimi.

06:25Para sa kanya,

06:26ang mga material na bagay

06:28ay hindi kasing halaga

06:31at kapatagan.

06:33Sabi nung sumaklolo sa amin,

06:38na isang cousin-in-law ko,

06:40Ate, ate, ano ka nga nun eh?

06:42Relax na relax lang nga nun eh,

06:44hindi ko nga nagpapanik at all.

06:45It was,

06:46kasi secure ako,

06:47nakuha ko na yun,

06:49nakuha ko na yung artworks nung kaibigan ko,

06:52nakuha ko na yun,

06:53gumagamot ko,

06:55wala naman ako magagawa.

06:57At saka na-experience ko yung undoy.

06:59Pinaka,

07:00ang daming mga halagang na wala kasi dun eh,

07:02mga photos na hindi pa digital,

07:05at saka yung nga yung mga libro ko.

07:07So yun,

07:08dahil second experience yun ng calamity,

07:10hindi,

07:11hindi na ako masyadong affected.

07:14Dagdag pa ni Mimi,

07:16hindi ang bagyong undoy

07:17o ang sunog

07:18ang pinakamabigat na pagsubok na kanyang hinarap.

07:21Para sa kanya,

07:22ang pinakamasakit

07:24ay ang hindi siya nakapagsayaw

07:26noong kasagsagan ng pandemia.

07:28Tapos na yung lockdown,

07:29so pwede na kaming magkiklase.

07:31May point,

07:32wala akong pamasahe.

07:34Ang lapit na nga, ha?

07:36Nandiyo na lang sa Pasig,

07:37nasa Antipolo ko.

07:38Yung pamasahe ko dyan,

07:39ano na lang,

07:40lalakad ako sa jeep,

07:4225 pesos.

07:44Kung mag-EFX ako,

07:45kung mag-Vavana ko,

07:4735 pesos.

07:48Hindi ako magka-tricycle,

07:49so yun lang ang kailangan ko.

07:51Pero may times,

07:52after the lockdowns,

07:54mamimili ako kung magpapab...

07:56Bibili ako ng food,

07:58o bibili ako ng pamasahe.

08:00Siyempre,

08:01hindi naman pwedeng nang kumain.

08:03Pagpunta ako doon,

08:04wala akong lakas, di ba?

08:05So yun yung iniiyak ko noon.

08:07Ang tragic na iniiyak ko,

08:10tsaka na-depressed ako,

08:12yung wala kaming sayaw

08:15noong entire lockdown.

08:18And we don't know,

08:20nagtatawagan kami,

08:22we don't know hanggang kailan,

08:25di ba?

08:26Hindi natin alam.

08:27Grabe talaga to,

08:29itong COVID na to,

08:31na yun talaga pa,

08:33ninakaw yung buhay.

08:35Yung pakiramdam mo,

08:37ninakaw yung buhay mo.

08:39Wala, wala yung fire nga yan,

08:40wala yung sinabi.

08:41Kasi araw-araw,

08:43kami nagsasayaw e.

08:45Noong nasa Shangri-La, di ba?

08:47Araw-araw ang klase.

08:49Araw-araw.

08:50Dati, noong bata-bata ako,

08:52pag may araw na hindi ako nakasayaw,

08:54ang pangit ng pakiramdam.

08:56Importante ang to live in the present.

08:59Isang mahalagang aral na itinuro sa kanya

09:01ng pagsasayaw.

09:03Gawin mo lang yung dapat gawin.

09:05Presence of mind lang.

09:07Siguro ako, I'm a very present tense person.

09:10Siguro yung ganitong pagtingin,

09:12alam mo, nakuha ko rin sa sayaw yan.

09:14Kasi yung training sa sayaw,

09:16ganun din.

09:18Present tense.

09:19Hindi ka pwedeng iniisip mo yung nakaraan,

09:22hindi mo pwedeng iniisip mo kung ano pa yung susunod.

09:25Magta-train ka para maging equipped ka

09:28na yung susunod magagawa mo

09:30kasi nirehearse mo yun.

09:32Pero, kailangan nandun ka sa present moment.

09:36Kung ano yung lift na kailangan mo gawin.

09:39Nandyan ka.

09:41Hindi pwedeng advanced.

09:43Para sa isang artist tulad niya,

09:45ang sining ng pagsasayaw

09:47ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng kanyang pagkatao

09:49na nagbibigay ng kulay at saya sa kanyang buhay.

09:53Hindi ko mai-imagine yung sarili ko

09:56na may buhay na hindi nagsasayaw.

10:00So, ibig sabihin nun,

10:02hindi pwedeng mawala yung sayaw sa buhay ko.

10:06So, I would say siguro it's a calling.

10:08Yung paniwala ko,

10:10hindi ka naman tatawagin ng Diyos

10:13gumawa ng isang bagay na ayaw mo.

10:15Ayaw mo, hindi mo love gawin.

10:18Ang sining ng pagsasayaw

10:20ay hindi lamang nagpapalakas ng katawan,

10:22kundi nagbibigay daan din sa mas malalim na pagunawa sa sarili.

10:26Sa bawat indak at galaw,

10:28isinasalaysay ng mananayaw

10:30ang kaning damdamin at sa loobin

10:32na nagiging daluyan ng presensya ng isip at pusipina.

10:36Ang kwento ni Mimi Villarreal

10:38ay isang patunay na ang tunay na lakas

10:41ay nagmamula sa kakayahang magpatuloy

10:43at magtagumpay

10:45sa kabila ng matinding harmon sa buhay.
