00:00
What I'm doing is that I'm living in the world.
00:03
I'm going back to nature,
00:05
where things are simple.
00:07
It's not too complicated.
00:09
I don't see any price.
00:20
What I enjoy is the action.
00:22
It's my first time,
00:25
but it's really full-length action.
00:29
I'm excited because I have new experiences.
00:32
I'm dressed as well.
00:34
The character is very active.
00:36
Even when I'm in the morning,
00:38
I'm going to have a breakfast.
00:41
But that's the adventure of the character also.
00:44
It's very intense.
00:46
It's very intense,
00:48
yet very focused, determined.
00:53
We had trainings before doing it,
00:55
with the character.
00:57
The character is a Muay Thai specialist.
01:02
I don't know if I can do it.
01:04
I was training with Muay Thai,
01:07
tactical training,
01:09
gun handling.
01:11
It's the training for the character
01:14
and for the show.
01:15
It's very meticulous.
01:17
It's not able to exercise more than that.
01:19
It's not as simple.
01:20
Like,
01:20
Like
01:22
ékamotation,
01:23
it's not even easier.
01:25
It's not …
01:26
Why not can I not can.
01:27
It's not always expected emisst strongly.
01:29
For what?
01:30
It's not a job of training.
01:31
It's not just that judge or
01:33
I was wearing a mask and wearing a mask.
01:35
It was difficult for me.
01:37
It was really difficult for me.
01:39
I didn't know if I was like,
01:41
I was like,
01:43
but I was very appreciative.
01:45
Even though I was pushing myself
01:47
to my own,
01:49
I was like,
01:51
I was like,
01:53
I was tired.
01:55
I was just running in my house.
01:57
I was walking in my house.
01:59
I was not alone.
02:01
They were Charles, Anthony, Tito Ian.
02:03
They had the body armor.
02:05
They had the body armor.
02:07
They had the power with a barrel.
02:09
They had a full pack,
02:11
and an human health.
02:13
He'd be home during a night.
02:15
I couldn't leave a group of health.
02:19
You need to walk.
02:21
That's what I was like.
02:23
It's very rewarding.
02:25
You're like,
02:27
I really need to push myself.
02:29
It was really nice to see it.
02:31
We taped it in Japan.
02:33
When we said, wow, it was nice.
02:35
The idea is eating sushi, drinking sake,
02:39
and that's what happened in Japan.
02:41
It was so far from the reality of our shoot.
02:44
Because when we started shooting Yamagata,
02:46
it was really a snow city.
02:47
It was not a snow day to day.
02:49
It was a minus six of the night.
02:53
Sometimes it was a night.
02:56
We were going to vacation.
02:58
That's the time when we go to the apartment.
03:00
I'm going to go to the apartment.
03:02
This is where you can't go.
03:04
You can do it.
03:06
You can do it.
03:07
You can do it.
03:08
You can do it.
03:09
You can do it.
03:10
But just push through.
03:11
Because it's nice to do it.
03:13
You love what you do.
03:14
And when you see the takes on the camera,
03:16
it's okay.
03:17
Even if you listen to it,
03:19
we're going to do it.
03:20
It's nice to do it.
03:21
I'm a little bit nervous about this character.
03:22
You can do it.
03:23
What the characters do you do?
03:24
It's like for me,
03:26
it's very new.
03:28
Yet,
03:29
I'm so glad that I'm going to make this character.
03:31
I think it's very popular.
03:32
I have a lot of people who are very popular.
03:34
But it's like that.
03:35
Because of,
03:36
the romcom shows,
03:38
the movies,
03:39
the characters are happy.
03:41
The characters are happy.
03:42
The characters are happy,
03:43
and they're a little drama.
03:44
The characters are different.
03:45
They're a little bit of a light.
03:46
I like doing that kind of roles because it's like a real life.
03:54
It's not always fun.
03:56
It's really nice to see the emotions here.
03:59
It's been a long time.
04:01
Very refreshing.
04:06
The character is a scout ranger.
04:08
I didn't have a long time to try their training.
04:12
It's been a long time for me to know how hard their work is.
04:18
What I've done is I've watched a lot on YouTube of our scout rangers.
04:24
And I didn't have a long time.
04:26
So now I understand why it's like that.
04:28
It's a long time for my brotherhood.
04:30
And my friends.
04:32
I'm a family.
04:34
Because I've seen that they're not a long time.
04:38
They're not a long time.
04:40
They're loving their name, Scouts Ranger.
04:42
They're really proud of me.
04:44
And I thank our scouts and thank our scouts.
04:48
And to our people who are protected,
04:50
In this period of time.
04:52
Sometimes when you say, what is your character? How is your character?
04:59
How is your character? How is your character?
05:01
I don't know how to behave like this.
05:04
But I realized that my character is like that.
05:09
When I have a character, I feel like I'm in my heart.
05:12
I've got the mannerisms that I've done before.
05:15
I've got my character.
05:17
I've got my character.
05:19
How is your character? How is your character?
05:21
How is your character?
05:23
You've got your character.
05:25
You've got your character.
05:27
I don't think I've ever seen it.
05:29
Sometimes when I don't know what to do,
05:31
I feel like it's normal.
05:33
But when I'm wearing everything,
05:35
I don't know what to do.
05:37
But I don't know what to do.
05:39
I don't know what to do.
05:41
I don't know what to do.
05:43
I don't know what to do.
05:45
I don't know what to do.
05:47
I don't know what to do.
05:49
I've actually got the idea of this.
05:51
We're in the team Milakay.
05:53
We're in the Baguio.
05:54
We're in the Baguio.
05:55
We're in the Baguio.
05:56
We're in our mixed martial arts fighters.
05:59
We're always watching this one champion.
06:03
We saw our Filipino fighters.
06:05
We're in the Baguio.
06:07
We're in the Baguio.
06:09
We're in the Baguio.
06:11
I was the inspiration for that.
06:13
I got my legs.
06:15
Because they're fighters.
06:17
They're in the Baguio.
06:19
I don't know what to do.
06:21
I don't know what to do.
06:23
I don't know what to do.
06:25
I don't know what to do.
06:27
I don't know what to do.
06:29
You have to pay respect also.
06:31
Because he's in the culture.
06:33
Who's the one?
06:34
Who's the one?
06:35
Who's the one?
06:36
Who's the one?
06:37
Who's the one?
06:39
I don't know what to do.
06:41
I think it's a very important point.
06:43
He's a bit clean cut.
06:45
But I thought it was a little rebellious.
06:47
I thought that it was perfect.
06:49
This haircuts were perfect.
06:53
It's so important to see our culture.
06:55
It's because it's the origin.
06:57
It's about to look at who we are.
06:59
We're in the Philippines.
07:01
We're often able to adapt to other cultures.
07:04
We can't forget how rich our culture is, and how rich it is.
07:10
It's nice to be able to move on.
07:12
We used to be able to move on to other cultures,
07:16
especially in other countries.
07:18
We used to be able to adapt.
07:20
Which is part of our history also.
07:23
After what happened to the country, we used to be able to adapt.
07:26
But it's nice to be able to move on to who we are.
07:28
Because it's great.
07:30
We used to be able to learn how to be Filipino,
07:33
and our arts,
07:35
and our music.
07:37
I learned a lot about the Igorot culture.
07:42
It's great.
07:43
It's different.
07:44
Very spiritual.
07:45
Very close to Native Americans.
07:48
Until now, they still have a culture.
07:50
They're like cowboys and Indians.
07:52
It's very cool.
07:53
We're going to learn how to observe.
07:55
It's beautiful.
07:56
It's a beautiful culture.
07:58
But we know who we are.
08:00
So it's nice to be able to do it.
08:06
Before I did it,
08:07
my heart is here now.
08:09
And I enjoy doing it.
08:11
I didn't imagine that I was able to move on to the different styles,
08:15
the different tone of the film.
08:18
I used to be able to action.
08:20
I was able to bring back to the music and I was able to do it in the background.
08:35
I'd be like to be more active.
08:37
What about your work?
08:39
Eventually, it was part of my list because now we have a production house.
08:47
We enjoy creating concepts, videos, documentaries.
08:52
I enjoy it so much. With the art of filmmaking.
08:57
I enjoy it.
08:58
But someday, I'll be here in the right school, which is the experience.
09:04
So, I'll be able to observe and listen.
09:09
It's nice to be outside the industry. It's nice to work and learn.
09:15
The owner of this place is my friend, Marvin and Chef.
09:18
It's nice to learn both of them.
09:20
It's a different world, which is also very exciting.
09:23
It's fun.
09:24
I don't know if I want to make a business.
09:27
Sometimes, I think it's like that.
09:29
It's really hard.
09:31
Yet, it's like that.
09:33
When you reach the problems, it's nice to be able to experience.
09:38
It's like learnings.
09:39
It's like learnings.
09:40
And eventually, it's like being a artisan.
09:42
It's not just like my life, I'm going to do it.
09:44
You know?
09:45
I want to do other stuff after this.
09:47
After five, ten years.
09:49
I'm not going to record the music.
09:51
I want to record the music.
09:52
I want to record the music.
09:55
The music is not in my heart.
09:57
It's not going to be able to be able to do it.
09:59
We were able to do it.
10:00
We were able to do it.
10:01
We were able to make a band,
10:02
so never know why we do it for our heroes.
10:05
It's not too soon.
10:07
Soon, we'll be able to sing songs.
10:09
Yeah, it's good.
10:15
I'm trying to be the cool teacher,
10:17
but he's still not a baby.
10:19
He's still one year old.
10:21
But yeah, definitely.
10:23
I'll try to be the coolest teacher,
10:25
for sure.
10:27
We have a lot of friends.
10:29
It's also very difficult.
10:31
But yeah,
10:33
we have a baby in our house
10:35
and it's different.
10:37
Now, I've seen that
10:39
it really brings the family together.
10:41
It's different.
10:43
It's different.
10:45
It's beautiful.
10:47
What are you doing?
10:49
I mean,
10:51
it's not easy.
10:53
What I'm doing is
10:55
you're going to be on social media.
10:57
You're going to be on social media.
10:59
You're going to be on social media.
11:01
You're going to be on social media.
11:03
And then,
11:04
the second,
11:05
what I'm doing is
11:07
that my world is
11:07
I'm coming to my own.
11:09
I'm going back to nature.
11:11
It's not simple.
11:13
It's not that much complicated.
11:15
You can see it.
11:17
It's like it's not a cost.
11:19
It's just an quiet.
11:21
It's just a quiet task.
11:23
When you're playing together,
11:25
you're playing again,
11:26
you're running on the earth.
11:27
It's just a quiet song.
11:29
I was able to talk to my family, talk to my family, talk to my friends, and that's what I was doing.
11:41
We had a secret spot on my Tanay.
11:45
We were just looking at that. That's what we were going to do.
11:48
It's important to us, madam. It's important to us.
11:51
Even if there's a secret spot, there are a lot of places where we can go.
11:55
We're going to go to reality.
12:00
My biggest fear, maybe, is not trying.
12:04
Maybe not trying.
12:05
Yun lang.
12:06
Hindi sumubok at mag-fail.
12:10
Yun lang. Hindi yung mag-fail.
12:12
I would rather fail trying.
12:14
Yun lang yung ano.
12:20
Ako, ganun din. Gusto ko lang ng farm.
12:23
Gusto ko ng farm at may mga hayop lang ako inaalagaan dun.
12:26
Tahimik na buhay lang, madam.
12:28
Ganun lang.
12:29
Bukid lang.
12:30
Doon lang, madam.
12:31
Gusto ko lang gumigising ng maaga, di ba?
12:34
Makain ng gulay.
12:36
Pero dati pa ako madami naman ang pangarap ko.
12:38
Kasama yan sa mga goals ko, kaya nagtatrabaho din ako.
12:41
Di ba, na magawa ko yun in the future.
12:44
Di ba, na tahimik na lang.
12:46
Di ba, na ra kamo pot ako.
12:54
Hindi kapal ko na maa ka na maagan na mag-fail.
12:56
camera.
12:58
Hindi kapal otong samo t unpredictable.
13:02
