THE HEART...

What when was you your were favorite a student? motto or mantra

Up to now: “Seize the day.” And also: “Live more, laugh often, love passionately.” How would you like to die?

Happy. That’s why I always seize the day. So that when the time comes, I don’t regret anything. The saddest feeling in the world is regret. How would you like to be remembered?

As a man who lived and loved. I want to leave a legacy, which is forever. Everything we do is temporary. When you make money, you can’t bring it with you.

This is a question Ricky Lo would probably ask you: If a movie were to be made about your life, what would be the title and which actor should portray you?

Hindi makulay ang buhay ko, it’s boring. But right now we are making a movie for Marawi. Piolo Pascual is producing. Robin Padilla is starring in it and Joyce Bernal is directing. This is for the Metro Manila Film Fest in December. What makes you cry? Watching a love story. What are your cheap thrills?

Eating at Jollibee. My kids love it. I’m happy just eating out in such places with my family. What is your favorite advice to your children and young people?

Pursue your own happiness and passions, as long as they’re legal. And always be respectful. What is the most overrated thing in the world?

When people think of business as their life and equate their wealth to happiness. The most underrated thing?

Simple things in life we used to enjoy — experiences without the cellphone. Dati, kwentuhan lang, masaya na. Corny as it may seem, simple things we take for granted like sunshine, good weather. What fault do you have the least tolerance for?

Being maawain to a fault. If you have too much of it (taking pity on someone), you lose your objectivity. In business, sometimes relationships come into play. What is the first thing you do when you wake up? I drink one to two glasses of water. Last thing you do before going to sleep? I can’t sleep without watching TV. Mostly sports. Sometimes, HBO. What do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?

Retiring. I can retire tomorrow — from work, from business. And go into another passion. Maybe help in sports. Maybe travel. I haven’t been to Africa and Egypt. I want to see the Northern Lights.

I want to take a vacation and travel for three months. I also want to try another passion — maybe join a marathon. Though that would take more than three months of training. Do you pray? What do you pray for?

Yes, I pray. And I pray for my family, good health and for God to protect us from harm.
