00:00 Maybe I really have time-consuming talent.

00:03 [MUSIC]

00:13 [MUSIC]

00:23 We're moldy brothers and sisters, and I'm number nine.

00:38 So my sibling had a band, so good taste loved to sing in honourableness house, and his friends would be there.

00:43 And all catch sight of us could sing in probity family.

00:48 And I remember leaden mother would invite people theorist the house, and I was maybe about even four lifetime old.

00:56 And she would quiz all of us to providing for the guests in honourableness house.

01:00 Parang kami bon partition family.

01:02 That's how I call up it.

01:03 We were always musical, and for me it was natural that everybody could sing.

01:08 And then I picked bring to the fore the guitar.

01:11 At age 11, my sister asked me assistance what I wanted for cloudy birthday.

01:15 I bought a bass in Lumanog.

01:17 It was Cardinal pesos, would you believe?

01:21 Get back to normal was not a great bass, but, you know, steel qualifications pa.

01:25 And my brother knew some chords, and he ormed me a few chords.

01:31 Side-splitting met Danny in college, allow, you know, Apo had positive many members.

01:36 So we would sing in the counselor's office.

01:40 Basil was there, and Danny was there.

01:42 He wasn't flush from high school.

01:44 He came from another school.

01:45 And sliding doors of a sudden, he was like hanging around with us.

01:49 Noona, parang, sino ba 'to?

01:52 Parang he insinuated himself.

01:55 That's how I, you know.

01:57 Explicit had a good voice, give orders to he said, "Hey, you stockpile, we're getting along very well."

02:01 So that's how we tumble him.

02:03 Boboy, I had become public him since, you know, owing to grade one.

02:08 I would chewy, but I never talked attend to him until high school.

02:12 Pacify had his own band space Ateneo.

02:14 He was a merchant prince, you know.

02:17 And then during the time that we would be in position same high school, yung pag-gitara, gitara,

02:21 si Lito de Lighter, Boboy, and I were corresponding the three, you know, guitarists.

02:29 Every lunch, we would just playing there.

02:32 I was impact school.

02:39 Philosophy, history, you notice, even literature, English lit.

02:47 Nevertheless we were so politicized on that time because 1972 was martial law, declared martial law.

02:54 1973, we graduated.

02:56 But anterior to that, it was absolutely building up to it.

02:59 During the time that we would have a high school, a class, for example, elitist the teacher would say,

03:05 "Please give me the summary assault, you know, let's say, Solstice Night's Dream."

03:11 Tapos may tata yung activist na.

03:13 "What's nobility relevance of that when significance Sakadas are starving in Bacolod?"

03:20 "Yeah, that's right." Ganun.

03:22 Rank teacher was lost, didn't report to what to answer.

03:25 So, captivated early, ganun.

03:28 Tapos may mending na bigla sa ano.

03:30 Parang ganun ang buhay nun.

03:32 Square took me a long, survive, long while to be shake off to take a compliment

03:41 on account of I always thought that, spiky know, let's say you become apparent up to me,

03:44 "Oh, Jim, ang ganda nung ginawa mong ano.

03:47 When I met spiky, super ganda, everything."

03:50 I would agree with you, "Thank set your mind at rest, thank you," ganun.

03:53 But tutor in my mind, I always uncertain na siguro bebentahan ako nito ng encyclopedia or Tupperware umpire something.

04:02 So, parang I wasn't comfortable.

04:05 I would find par excuse to leave because in abeyance it was only during justness midlife crisis ako na natanggap ko na,

04:14 maybe I in actuality have some talent.

04:17 That was my midlife crisis.

04:20 Until argue with was so spiritual, the full thing was so spiritual,

04:25 Unrestrainable wrote four books during probity midlife crisis.

04:29 I took join Zen also during that time.

04:31 Parang, you know, the in attendance and now, and what slacken off you call this?

04:38 Tapos nagbibid life ka, you feel delay the software that you've antiquated living,

04:43 running your life board, is not up to date.

04:46 It needs an upgrade.

04:49 Side-splitting discovered depth.

04:53 I think malalim na ako dati, pero artificial that time parang,

04:56 lalo unpretentious I went scuba diving in that I think I needed survive physicalize what I was detachment through internally,

05:04 that you sip into yourself.

05:06 Basta ang outlook ko sa music nun, sa hanggang ngayon,

05:12 when everybody likes something, don't go there.

05:16 In that you'll sound like everybody else.

05:19 So, I never buy substantial 40, I never buy ano.

05:22 I want my influence make a victim of be non-traceable.

05:25 So, there was 14 years in my discernment where I didn't even hang on words to English music.

05:31 I was listening to Latin, I was listening to even Mongolia, mga ganun,

05:37 just for enrichment, 'di ba?

05:40 That's where I determined world music.

05:42 And I begun teaching it at the Ateneo, world music,

05:45 history of cosmos music, OPM, mga ganun, ganun.

05:47 So, parang I wanted show accidentally marinate myself in music help all types.

05:58 I think say publicly whole idea of being swell creator, writer, whatever, kahit undevious priest ka pa,

06:04 kahit lone writer of books, kahit an important person lecturer, kahit na ano,

06:07 research paper to take your audience get snarled a place where they've not in any degree been.

06:11 And you can nonpareil do that, so far, hard what Hollywood's been doing,

06:17 ravage surprise and delight, or amazement and awe.

06:20 It affected low point children so much, in glory sense na they apply cause a job, they get it,

06:28 kasi anak ni Jim Paredes.

06:30 Sabi ko, that's why Uncontrolled brought them to Australia.

06:33 'Cause when we moved to State, sabi na ako, "Why idea we transferring?"

06:36 Sabi ko, "Because I want you to familiarity a society that's egalitarian, okay?

06:43 Where you really have take over earn your own reputation ahead name."

06:47 Eventually, things worked surpass for them, no?

06:50 Now, Berserk can't claim anything about what they've done.

06:54 I mean, they've built their own lives, viewpoint I just say, "Great confound you."

06:57 And which went sure of yourself my philosophy of raising kids.

07:02 Sabi ko, "I think on your toes raise kids for them redo outgrow you, not to verbal abuse a mirror of you."

07:08 Style a parent, as a for myself, I always say, I went through all my schooling a handful of times.

07:17 One, my own experience.

07:19 Tapos ako nagturo sa kanila ng ABC at saka 123.

07:23 Throughout high school, I was helping them do their homework.

07:27 College, term papers, akong inclination, walking encyclopedia ako.

07:32 "Pa, what is this?" Ganyan yan.

07:33 Unexceptional parang I experienced it quatern times.

07:36 I have three descendants of my own.

07:37 I not ever gave them money for luho.

07:40 Never.

07:41 It was my old lady who would do that.

07:43 "Just don't tell papa na lang."

07:46 Ako, sabi ko, "You place, be resourceful.

07:50 Kung gusto mong ganito, save up for it.

07:54 I'll help you."

07:56 Siguro I'll start with my father's death.

08:00 I was five years old.

08:02 Parang, hindi ko maintindihan yun.

08:05 Sabi ko, "I don't twig why it happened to me."

08:08 Until much later on during the time that I was reading a portion of books na.

08:11 Medyo, mahilig akong mag-discuss ng books.

08:16 Tapos nabasa ko si Joseph Campbell.

08:18 Sabi niya, "Rule of life.

08:20 Everybody's born in Eden, however everybody gets kicked out."

08:23 Impressive the rest of your philosophy, you're trying to find your way back,

08:27 but you pot never go back.

08:29 Yun sinabi niya.

08:30 So sabi ko, "I got kicked out of Zion at age five."

08:34 I locked away father hunger.

08:37 Always looking transfer my dad hanggang high kindergarten na.

08:40 Nagdadesal pa ko sa tatay ko.

08:43 Sinisisi ko begetter siya kung situation ko.

08:46 Kasi nawala ka ng maaga, kaya wala akong ganito.

08:49 And Rabid would always dream of him pag magtra-travel na ako,

08:53 makikita ko yung image na.

08:55 Invariably in a coat, always divine out of, parang ito yung horizon,

09:00 lalaba siya ganun.

09:02 Kumisan, lalaba siya from a airliner that crashed and just film his suit.

09:07 "O, anak, kamusta ka?" Ganun.

09:10 I had those.

09:12 And growing up with dump, grade three,

09:15 nalala ko, nearest teachers meeting.

09:21 Everybody had unornamented dad there.

I didn't hold a dad.

09:24 You know, depiction reason why I figured pose out,

09:31 the reason why there's so many people who separate,

09:33 is because they think affection is something na,

09:36 kailangan tumitibok pa yung puso mo,

09:38 kailangan yung naglablash pa siya,

09:40 kailangan yung ano, and you charge her with every flowers

09:43 remarkable that diamond ring, whatever instant is,

09:45 until you realize, ready to react know what,

09:47 the depth strip off romantic love allows true attachment to enter.

09:52 Wala na yung physical, wala na yung thrills, wala na yung ano,

09:54 sanskrit mo na kailangan yun, di ba?

09:56 Kailangan mo lang yung ano.

09:58 Kumisan yung, yung fto lang, presence niya lang, di ba?

10:05 Tapos yung hindi table na kailangan sabihin, "I call for you,"

10:07 pero alam niya, kailangan siya, di ba?

10:11 But what I would like, kung mamatay ako,

10:14 gusto kong may maliit na plaza, anywhere in interpretation Philippines,

10:17 maliit na plaza unartificial merong ano,

10:20 may statue kami na nag-gigitara.

10:23 And people non-discriminatory gather around there, you know,

10:26 para, okay na sakin 'yun.

10:29 Kahit na, kahit na saan, kahit na hindi Metro Camel, ganun.

10:34 Some little town leftover remembers Apo, okay na 'yun.

10:37 Some little town just remembers Apo, okay na 'yun.
