00:00You opened up about bullying, about being bullied, I don't think I know this part of your life.
00:14I guess, Kuya, it's not something that I really share and I didn't make a big deal about it.
00:21But you were bullied?
00:24I think, when I was small.
00:27Because it's new, Kuya, right?
00:31So, everywhere, even in school, when you're a new student,
00:35they kind of underestimate you because you're the new one.
00:39Because you don't know anyone.
00:41Me too, especially when I was young, you know me, I was very introvert, especially back then.
00:46I didn't know how to talk, I had no social skills at all.
00:51You were bullied a lot, right?
00:53Yes, a lot of times.
00:55And maybe because I didn't have many friends because I didn't know how to make friends.
01:03And also, because my grandmother didn't have a lot of money,
01:10we were the simplest.
01:13And when I say the simplest, how do we put it?
01:18We were the simplest.
01:22Almost none.
01:24And we were okay with that.
01:26So, this bullying comes from your family or the showbiz that you face?
01:32It's a mix of that.
01:34I feel like the toxic side of being in the industry hurts.
01:37And we all know that.
01:39But I guess what I'm proud of is that,
01:42we always chose to be the kind ones regardless.
01:50I hear that here and there.
01:52But I didn't know that you were serious about it.
01:56I carried it.
01:57Until now?
01:58Not anymore.
02:00But I'm sure you learned out of that.
02:02I learned. It became a motivation, actually.
02:05And from all the experiences I went through,
02:07of course, as a child,
02:09sometimes when you're a child, you can't help but compare yourself to your peers.
02:18And that's what I'm talking about.
02:20For example, all of my peers had sponsors.
02:24They had beautiful things.
02:27My grandmother and I brought a blanket from Palenque.
02:30It was a thin yellow plastic blanket.
02:33We brought one or two thin blankets.
02:37And I repeated that in the multiple episodes of the show.
02:41Because that's what I had.
02:43Of course, at that time, because I was young,
02:45it would make me sad.
02:46And it wanted me to have what the others had.
02:49But as I grew up, and as my grandmother always told me,
02:53she always said,
02:55your time will come.
02:57Always.
02:59When she catches me looking and wanting something I don't have,
03:04she always says,
03:06your time will come. Just wait.
03:08And true enough, I held on to that.
03:12Every time I prayed,
03:14I always told my mom and my dad up in heaven,
03:18Mama told me, my time will come.
03:21And I waited.
03:23And then, thankfully, this happened.
03:26I was able to focus on what I was doing with my grandmother.
03:30And it's my motivation that she sees where I am now.
03:35That I worked hard.
03:37Because she told me, my time will come.
