00:00
You know, me and Janice, I have a lot of things to tell her that she doesn't want to talk about.
00:08
Well, okay.
00:10
It's different.
00:12
It's different who's going to ask you.
00:14
So, here.
00:16
She's going to ask you.
00:18
Open your eyes.
00:20
She's an award-winning broadcaster.
00:22
Ms. Checha Laduro.
00:26
Hi, Janice. Happy birthday.
00:28
The floor is yours.
00:30
Thank you, Jenny.
00:32
It's like she's going to beat you up.
00:34
Why?
00:36
That's why I'm nervous.
00:38
You know, when you've been waiting for two weeks,
00:40
I really can't.
00:42
I'm good at taking surprises.
00:44
Really? But your life has been full of surprises.
00:46
Oh, yes.
00:48
A lot has happened in your life that's really a surprise.
00:50
Every turn of the wheel, right?
00:52
I am as surprised.
00:54
Happy birthday.
00:56
Happy birthday.
00:58
Actually,
01:00
I don't know.
01:02
Maybe,
01:04
older.
01:06
Maybe more mature by about 20 years.
01:08
Like this year.
01:10
Yeah.
01:12
Because of the experiences I've gone through.
01:14
But then, I feel young
01:16
because I feel renewed.
01:18
In a way.
01:20
Okay.
01:22
You're 33 years old.
01:24
I've never hidden my age.
01:26
It was never a problem to me.
01:28
At 33, what can I do?
01:30
What can you do when you've done so much in 33 years?
01:32
Yeah.
01:34
Was it a good or bad year?
01:40
I can't say
01:42
it's completely bad
01:44
because I think I've rediscovered
01:46
this part of me that I lost
01:48
for the longest time.
01:50
I can't say it's good because
01:52
it's a bad year.
01:54
But you said you've lost something
01:56
during that time.
01:58
How many years did you lose?
02:00
What did you lose?
02:02
Not many years.
02:04
What I lost
02:06
I think
02:08
I lost me.
02:10
You lost you?
02:12
What does that mean?
02:16
There's so many things about me
02:18
that I don't think
02:20
everybody knows or understands.
02:28
It's hard to describe.
02:30
It's hard to describe.
02:32
Nobody really knows who I am.
02:34
I don't think
02:36
anybody can ever say they know me
02:38
because no one knows me
02:40
but me.
02:42
No one knows you?
02:44
I lost so many things.
02:46
The things that I used to believe in.
02:48
My individuality.
02:52
My freedom to be able to say
02:54
and feel what I want.
02:56
Did that stop?
02:58
Did that steal you?
03:00
It didn't steal me.
03:02
I gave it away.
03:10
I was the one who took it away.
03:12
Why'd you take it away?
03:18
Because I thought
03:20
it would be the best thing to do.
03:22
It's like you're recoiling.
03:24
You're entering your shell.
03:32
I just wanted to be
03:34
the best of that person
03:36
was at the moment.
03:38
So
03:42
that became my thrust
03:44
and I was never lonely doing that.
03:46
I just wanted to say
03:48
that I wasn't lonely doing that.
03:50
I put myself aside
03:52
for other people.
03:54
I wasn't lonely.
03:58
The ending was lonely.
04:00
But you said
04:02
you changed.
04:04
It wasn't you.
04:06
Was there a time that you were not yourself?
04:08
That you were not Janice as you knew yourself?
04:10
This past year.
04:12
Yes.
04:14
This past year.
04:16
What did you give up?
04:20
My pride.
04:22
Was that good?
04:26
Ideally, yes.
04:28
It should've been.
04:32
But no.
04:34
It's not good.
04:36
Because together with the pride
04:38
went my self-esteem.
04:40
That's difficult.
04:42
Self-esteem, that's so difficult.
04:44
That's so difficult.
04:46
Self-esteem.
04:48
Do you remember when you were a kid?
04:50
You were the star of Flor de Luna.
04:52
I watched you.
04:54
I went to your set.
04:56
Of course, I don't remember.
04:58
I was teaching back then.
05:00
And I wanted to see how to make
05:02
a drama. So I watched you.
05:04
What I noticed in that drama
05:06
is that
05:10
you really feel the role.
05:12
It's like you went through everything
05:14
when you were a kid.
05:18
Your tears were low.
05:20
At that time.
05:22
But you were still a kid.
05:24
What were your experiences that brought life
05:26
to Flor de Luna?
05:30
That's a hard question to answer.
05:32
Because
05:34
I was 9 when I started
05:36
and I was 14 when I left Flor de Luna.
05:40
Maybe it's
05:42
my passion.
05:44
But
05:46
I don't know what it's for.
05:48
But they say that
05:50
good actresses
05:52
their emotions
05:54
come from the inside.
05:56
What they feel.
05:58
But when you were at Flor de Luna at 9 years old
06:00
when I watched you when you were a preteen
06:02
when you were still a teenager
06:04
you were so easy to
06:06
relate to.
06:08
Did you really want to be an actress
06:10
when you were a kid?
06:12
When I was a kid
06:14
I don't know.
06:16
I cannot say that I really wanted
06:18
to be an actress because I did not
06:20
really.
06:22
The truth is, it's so funny.
06:24
Because I say this over and over
06:26
again because it really is true.
06:28
What I really wanted to be was a singer.
06:30
It was really what I wanted to be.
06:32
I would
06:34
tape the songs on the radio
06:36
and we have a small room
06:38
that no one uses.
06:40
I'd go there, I'd close the light
06:42
and I'd play.
06:44
I'd pretend that I'm having a concert.
06:46
I'd have spills.
06:48
I'd wave.
06:50
I'd play the lights.
06:52
That's what I really wanted.
06:54
But I know
06:56
that I was really arty when I was a kid.
06:58
When we'd go to my grandma's house
07:00
she had this big mirror in her room.
07:02
It was really big.
07:04
You could sit there
07:06
in her dresser.
07:08
You could sit there.
07:10
So every Sunday or every time
07:12
we'd go to her house, I'd rush to eat
07:14
lunch.
07:16
Then I'd go to her room, I'd close the door
07:18
of her room, I'd sit there
07:20
and I'd stand in front of the mirror
07:22
and I'd act. I'd sing.
07:24
I'd do this.
07:26
I was really dramatic.
07:28
Who encouraged you to enter the show business?
07:30
Nobody encouraged me to go into show business.
07:32
There was just one time
07:34
that my dad went to
07:36
the studio of another network
07:38
and I was tagging along with him because
07:40
my dad's in advertising so he was kind of
07:42
talking to the people there.
07:44
And I tagged along.
07:46
And then I saw that there was an audition going on
07:48
and I just didn't know.
07:50
I never really thought and I don't think
07:52
my dad ever thought that this would happen.
07:54
So I said, can I join?
07:56
My dad said yes.
07:58
They just gave me this
08:00
script
08:02
that I read with two other people.
08:04
Just read it. No emotions.
08:06
Just read it.
08:08
So we read it.
08:10
And that was the beginning.
08:12
Now, you have five children.
08:14
You have one child, Luigi, who is now
08:16
in show business.
08:18
Having been a child star and having
08:20
gone through what you've gone through,
08:22
do you recommend this for children
08:24
to go into careers early in their life?
08:26
Of course not.
08:28
Not really.
08:30
I mean, I came from being an artist.
08:32
I came from that.
08:34
I missed out on a lot of things.
08:36
Even if I say that
08:38
my mom
08:40
and my dad
08:42
and I tried so hard to make it seem
08:44
normal as it should have been.
08:46
It's not because as early as that age
08:48
you're exposed to a lot of
08:50
things that you should have
08:52
been exposed to later in life.
08:54
Did you miss out on a childhood?
08:56
Did you lose your childhood?
08:58
Part of it, yes.
09:00
I think I matured early.
09:02
Puyat.
09:04
At an early age, you're asked to
09:06
not eat too much.
09:08
Don't be too big on screen.
09:12
I didn't grow up.
09:14
Maybe it's not because of show business.
09:16
Maybe it's the puyat.
09:18
Maybe it's the puyat.
09:20
I never experienced having a JS prom.
09:22
Because of that.
09:24
Did your show business
09:26
change your views
09:28
about love?
09:30
About money?
09:32
About what you can be
09:34
when you grow up?
09:36
About different views?
09:38
Not really.
09:40
Whatever I want to be,
09:42
I don't have a definite
09:44
want or definite ambition at that time.
09:46
When I started
09:48
being an artist,
09:50
I embraced it tight.
09:52
I enjoyed it.
09:54
I loved what I did.
09:56
I still love what I'm doing.
09:58
Why did you give up?
10:00
I didn't really
10:02
give it up.
10:04
Maybe my family
10:06
became my priority.
10:08
Why did your family become your priority?
10:10
Because that's how it should be.
10:12
That's how it should be?
10:14
That's how it should be.
10:16
That's what I wanted.
10:18
Maybe I didn't think that
10:20
if I didn't grow up like that.
10:22
But I grew up that way.
10:24
My mom didn't work.
10:26
She gave everything to us.
10:28
That's what I knew was right.
10:30
I have a clear sense of everything
10:32
that I wanted.
10:34
It's very clear to me
10:36
the role of a mother
10:38
and a housewife.
10:40
If it's possible,
10:42
I want a job.
10:44
There was a time that I had to accept
10:46
jobs because it was a need.
10:48
When?
10:50
Of course, when I was single.
10:52
Of course, there's a need.
10:54
But when everything was going on smoothly,
10:56
I had the liberty
10:58
to not accept jobs.
11:00
If there's an occasion,
11:02
if it was my son's birthday,
11:04
if it would interfere with my daughter's birthday,
11:06
my anniversary,
11:08
my birthday, somebody else's birthday.
11:10
If it had anything to do
11:12
with my immediate family,
11:14
I wouldn't accept it.
11:16
Your commitment to your family is strong.
11:18
Yes.
11:20
When I wake up in the morning
11:22
from taping,
11:24
if one of my children is sick,
11:26
I'll call them.
11:28
Even if they get mad at me or blacklist me,
11:30
I'll still hug them.
11:32
If I give you a chance to take priorities,
11:34
what's the most important thing in your life?
11:36
The three most important things in your life.
11:38
Now.
11:40
In your life?
11:42
No, but now, this period.
11:44
First would be my children.
11:46
Second would be
11:50
me.
11:52
Me.
11:54
You.
11:56
Because I think I deserve to be second this time.
11:58
Why? Did the me in your list disappear?
12:00
It's gone.
12:02
It's gone far away.
12:04
Really? What's the third?
12:06
The third would be my work.
12:08
Do you believe
12:10
what they say,
12:12
everything that happens to us in life
12:14
is a coincidence?
12:16
Oh yes, very much.
12:18
I've always believed in that.
12:20
Nothing under the sun is accidental.
12:22
Celestine Prophecy.
12:24
Do you believe that?
12:26
Do you think that everything that happens in your life
12:28
is planned?
12:30
No accidents?
12:32
No.
12:34
That has a purpose.
12:38
Maybe...
12:40
For the last year, all I've been doing
12:42
is thinking
12:44
what is the purpose.
12:46
What's the purpose?
12:48
What has the purpose been, Janice?
12:52
Maybe to build my character.
12:54
Build my strength.
12:56
And at the same time,
13:00
maybe
13:02
God wants me to be strong.
13:06
Has he been successful?
13:08
Sometimes, I think
13:10
what did I do wrong?
13:14
Then after a while,
13:16
I think
13:18
that's why God gave me that.
13:20
Because I love God.
13:22
I hope He doesn't have too much confidence in me
13:24
so that He doesn't give me too much.
13:26
But you know Janice,
13:28
he's been very successful.
13:30
Happy birthday.
13:32
At 33, you look 22
13:34
and you think like a 60-year-old.
13:36
Happy birthday.
13:40
Happy birthday.
