Alessandra & Empoy Get Personal with Toni Talks Cards | Toni Talks

Why did your friendship click?

It's gone. It's just like a residue. I'm addicted.

Did you court Alexander?

Why would I court him? Look at you. He said that he liked a girl with white eyebrows. So I asked him, and he couldn't look at me.

White eyebrows?

He laughed. I'm perfect. What kind of barahay is that? Who did that?

Did you really pay for it?

Yes, last time.

Tell her, if you see someone, who do you see?

Who do you see if you see someone?

Him.

He's wearing a bathing suit and riding a horse.

You have a strong friendship. If you see someone, to what you see. For example, when I see you, I don't ask anything from God.

Even the friendship that you have.

Especially when I didn't ask for that.

But, no!

And what I deserve, really? Is this everything? What are you? Is there nothing else? These questions are like beauty queens here in...

It smells like a toilet.

So, I called you guys here today.

Okay, why did you call us?

Of course, so you can see that I'm a real man. Just kidding. He always wears this, whenever he's courting me. This is the sweater he wears.

Did you court him?

No, I did. I even went to his house earlier.

Wait, because, Mpoy, I didn't tell you about this. Alessandra, 14, 13. She was the first person I met in Bubble Gang.

13 years old?

We met.

Is that true?

The one who was looking after her stuff was...

Catherine. Catherine. She used to call Catherine Alex, my sister. Cataract.

Why?

Nothing, I just like her nickname. She? I just like their nicknames. She was also in Asunta's Bubble Gang. They were the artists.

Did you become an artist?

A little bit, yes. But I didn't want to study. When I was 14, I didn't want to study. I wanted to become an artist.

That's a phenomenon. Do you know that there's an MMF that won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress? That's history. What movie was that? Best Actress Azunta de Rossi, Best Supporting Actress Alessandra de Rossi. First time in the history.

They combined the Best Actress and Best Supporting.

They were different to Azunta. I won right away. And then they're like, you guys are pitiful. And they're the best actors.

No, but I believe that the two of them are the ones who really got to know Hussay in acting. Your old movie teacher.

Ah, Mga Munting Tinig.

That's where it was.

Wait, has this been on a roll?

A while ago. Well, no. A while ago, they said it was on a roll. That was true before. We checked if your boobs were growing.

Every Monday, 4pm.

I'll visit here too.

In the Broadway set's bathroom.

Yes, in the bathroom. Is Alex with you?

No, just the two of us.

We're checking if they're growing. Hey, you know,

when we watch your movie, It was 10 years ago. 10 years? Ang Kita Kita? Yes. Oh, it was made? It was released in 2017. It was made in 2016.

For me, you guys were the ones who started the unconventional love team on screen.

You need to make the leading lady blush, right?

Yes, you need to blush.

Don't do that.

There's a scene where you're laughing at the boat. I told her, I is not a joke. Because she was laughing for real.

She was saying, Hey, Shark, how will I see you?

Yes.

But no, because the film was phenomenal. Because it was the first of its kind. It was the peak of the normal rom-coms. Cutie, cutie leading lady. Gwapo, gwapo leading man. But you, a comedian and a serious actress.

Serious actress? That's what Alessandra was best at back then.

Back then? Indie-indie serious actress.

But she's a contraband, right? Like Valentina or something.

But Alessandra said something. She doesn't want friends who like luxury. She wants her friends to cares about real life. That's why I'm thinking, that's why you're gay, because...

No, that's not it. That's why I want to be friends.

I want to learn something.

But why did you say that?

Actually, I just didn't elaborate. What I mean is, you're just being social. You don't talk much. So I'm just being nosy. You're just being social. You don't talk much. So, am I smart? No, that's why I'm not inviting you out.

She doesn't want social media anymore, friend. She wants real friendship. Why did your friendship click?

It's gone.

It's like a residue. She's addicted. What residue. It's a residue. You're addicted.

What residue?

We have a love team.

But if there's none, don't talk about it. First impression. When they said your leading man here is M. Poy. I was happy. I was scared.

Who else would be scared? He watched my Contra Vida Roles.

He thought I was just like that.

No, she's a comedian in real life.

When I haven't met her before, in our Japan days, I was really shy to approach her.

When was that? You're always late? You were shy?

It's easy, right? I always bring you yogurt in the mornings.

She was courting you.

I was courting someone. Why are you courting someone?

You look like you're courting someone.

Look at her legs. Do you see her legs? She's like Elsa. She said that she likes a girl with white tits.

So I asked her.

She said she can't look at me.

She laughed.

What's the friendship pack? I'm We were inspired by what Alessandra said. She said that when you're talking, you should really talk about life. These are questions for the soul, for the heart, and for the mind. These are the questions that you don't ask your friend.

She doesn't have a mind.

I have a soul.

You have a soul.

Okay, let's do that.

Why do you have a soul?

Sorry. Sorry.

And wait, Tons. You're going to Madam Audie.

Because Alessandra said she doesn't like shallow conversations.

So we'll try something deep.

There's a way to do this.

It's a Tagalog version. It's for meaningful conversations. Instead of gossiping, let's talk about childhood trauma.

This is childhood trauma?

I don't want childhood trauma.

Do you have a mind?

Or the mind? They're not working properly.

What about the heart? Do you use it?

Sometimes. I have one. Why are you still single? I just had my checkup. Executive checkup. My heart is okay. Your brain has a problem, remember?

I also did an MIR.

MIR?

Don't say it.

Sorry.

How is it?

Nothing.

Complete.

What are you saying?

It's a boy.

It's a boy. It's a boy, it's confirmed. It's a boy, it's a girl. Did you really do a MRI? Yes, last time.

I did it because it was 30 minutes.

Tell her, when you close your eyes, who do you see?

Who do you see when you close your eyes?

Him. He's wearing a bathing suit, riding a horse. I was asked to do an MRI. No, I said, Lord, what's that? Alex, I'm like that. Because if I look at my face, I might laugh. And of course, what I'm holding here is like a broom. The one you press, the one you don't like anymore.

Yes, yes, that one. I'm not pressing it because I really want to… I really prayed.

Did you remove the mating suit from the horse?

No, you do that.

Alex does that. Why did you see that? I really don't know.

That's how much I'm his comfort zone. He knows that I unconditionally love him. And I really, I was crying slowly.

Your friendship is so intense. When you're closing, he's the one who sees it.

You're a soul? Yes, I just bought it yesterday. How much?

30 to 50.

And it's discounted. Who wants to go first? Let's go with Mpoy. Ladies first. We'll do Tagalog cards.

That's for you.

I'll read it.

What's one thing you wish you had? Wait. Me? Me? I'll read it. Okay, okay.

What is one of the qualities you want to have?

Nothing.

I'm perfect. Of course.

What kind of way is that? Who did that?

You, Alex.

I'm thinking, I'm also perfect.

You're also perfect, right?

My answer to that is I like Alex's personality, that he can be friends with anyone.

I'm not like that either. My answer to that is I like Alex's personality. He can be friends with anyone.

I'm not like that either.

Friendly, friendly, yes. But I'm not a people person. Sometimes I think, I wish I was more...

Extrovert?

Extrovert, but honestly, I don't want to be one.

What's your vert? Birthday. What do you want to be called?

I wish he would know how to say no.

I'll answer.

Really?

People pleaser?

No, I mean, I'm not sure.

I think he's more of a people pleaser.

He'll say yes even if he's not happy. That's a good thing. That's a characteristic that I hope I know how to turn down people.

Especially if I don't like them. I don't like people to turn down people.

Especially if I don't like them.

Yes.

Alex, it's your turn.

Okay, let's go. What's this? Soul.

Ah, soul.

The question is, what would you do if you already have all the wealth in the world?

Let's make a way for the world. I'm going crazy here in the war. It's like, oh, there's a drone that can compute. Why don't you just send it to each other?

Why are the civilians suffering?

You know who your enemy is. Enemy. Yes, and I bought a car. Wow, the joke is so long. Yes, and I gave a statue to Empoy in France.

Wow. I'm not a blooming treat. Wow, you're going to put it on your front. On my front, yes. I want to try it.

What kind of pose do you do when you're on a statue? No, I want to see the teeth. There. That's perfect.

I want to be on a veneer.

We were talking earlier. Are we going to be on a veneer? We're old. And then, Empoy said, My friend is a veneer artist. It's hard for her to eat. Is it hard to eat when you're a veneer artist? Yes, she said that.

Don't be a veneer artist. Enjoy it. You've been living like that for years.

No, because my friend is only a bagang artist.

Isn't that so?

It's hard for her to eat because she's a bagang artist.

Maybe she's still getting better. Give it to me. I know. I'll give it to you so you can build a huge bazaar. What? Bazaar. We'll have a bazaar.

See? You're still thinking about it.

Me.

Me too. If you have a message for the next generation, what is it?

These questions are so beauty queen.

It smells like a broth pot.

That's not true. We were eating together.

And my food is tempura.

So when you eat here, what? Maybe, they will always have a humble heart. That's it.

You, Alex. You need to be a good person. Do you have one? What's your answer?

Just pray and have faith in God.

That's right.

Don't forget. I'll go next.

What category do you want?

Okay.

Okay, this one.

Oh, you're a soul too.

Let's go with that.

Okay, question for the soul. In your opinion, if you die now, where would you go?

In the grave?

I'm kidding.

I won't go there.

Sorry.

When you ran down the sins of all of us, you won't be able to enter.

Don't judge anyone because we all entered that place.

You know, this story is so beautiful. Because, you know… You're thinking about it? Yes, you're really thinking about it. If you right now. No one knows where we're going.

Of course, we want to go to heaven. That's what we were raised with, heaven and hell. I said, look, when I read the Bible, I don't understand anything. Do I not have a Holy Spirit?

You have a spirit!

But you're not holy. Why do you keep on reading my books? I don't understand. But so far, from what I've read,

no one will enter heaven.

We're not deserving.

We're not deserving.

So we need a savior.

Alex, what about you?

I hope it's heaven. Everything is perfect in heaven. I can't learn to play the guitar. I said, can I join the praising worship team in heaven, but I'm a guitarist and a backup vocalist. You know what I mean? I'm like that.

Yeah!

Yeah!

At least he's in the music ministry.

He's in the instruments. In the music ministry. You're in the music ministry, you're in heaven, what are you? I'm a vocalist. Oh wow!

Do you still want attention?

All of it is yours. Anton Singer? Yes, me. I'll be the audience. Aladdin, the singer?

Are you sure you're going to heaven?

Aladdin.

Alex's turn.

This one.

Let's go with this one.

For the mind.

If you could erase one memory, what would you do and why? I want to erase a lot of things in my life.

But if the lesson that I can erase is included, I don't want to. Just leave it there. Oh! No, don't do that. Edit out the nonsense.

Alex, don't do that. Why didn't Alex tell you?

That's why I asked you.

I'll tell you later off-camera.

Okay, okay.

I have something to tell you. The parts that hurt you, that's why you said so many things. If you didn't feel that pain, how could you be like this now? What is one thing that you want the whole world to know about your life?

My life is mine. No one can comment on it.

Because that's his production.

What production?

The movie, A World of Our Own.

Oh, that's you.

We're partners. That's also what you want?

Yes. Okay. God is partners. That's what you want? Yes.

Okay.

God is kind.

That's true.

He gave me something even though I don't deserve that blessing.

That's true.

What's this?

What? It's not deserving.

Don't say that.

There are instruments that God uses to… Right?

Do you feel like, do I deserve that?

Especially if you didn't ask for it. For example, when I see you, I don't ask for anything from God.

That's what you say, Lord, I didn't ask for this, but do I deserve this? But you gave it to me.

Right?

Him too.

Even the friendship that you have.

Yes.

Especially if I didn't ask for it. Hahaha. But, no!

And if I deserve this, really?

Is this everything? What else?

God gave you to me.

Wow!

As a friend.

So, I'm the gift and I'm the one who's not getting anything? There's something.

The friendship.

Me.

Okay.

Mboy, you.

Choose. You. You choose. I don't know how to read. Wait a minute. Are you sure? I'll go. If you could choose an artist that would happen to you in a movie, who would it be and why Maribet Bechara?

There's no such thing.

Oh, there's no such thing?

Who would it be? You're adding more questions. If you could choose an artist that would happen to you in a movie, who would it be? Me? Of course, my brother, Alex. Yes, of course.

You?

Of course, my brother too. Who?

John Prats. Maybe he would play his brother. Who?

Maybe Maris.

I think he would play Maris.

See, the question is easy. Here, finish the sentence. I always think about why...

I'm handsome.

Wow!

Beautiful.

And I have a strong sex appeal.

He doesn't have a mind.

To say that.

He reached that.

You, Alex.

The person is not equal.

Right.

He's going to say something.

No, I've been thinking about that for a while.

It's not that we're not equal.

There's Matangkad, Benji Paras, Medagul. There's a lot of people like that.

No, it's a state of life.

A state of life.

So even if we're not equal.

What about you?

I don't like you guys. Get a card. What about the card? I feel like I'm my own self and I answered that. That's okay. That's what you feel. There's no right or wrong.

Yes. Before you go to sleep, you still have that thought.

So let's go to Alex.

What reminds you that you're not alone? Myself. You really need to bestfriend yourself no matter what happens. Because there's no one else, right?

And of course, God.

You, who reminds you that you're not alone.

Of course, are we going to be far?

When I look in the mirror, you're right. What do you see?

There are two of us.

There are two of us.

Tony is a bad guy.

That's your reflection.

That's right.

But it's also right, but what she said is deep. No, it's right. It's also deep.

It's right.

That you're with yourself. You're not alone because the M.Poi when you were 5 years old, you're still with that until now.

Sadly, but I'm 3 years old now.

3 years old?

Right?

Sometimes I talk to her,

what is this, two or three?

I'm not sure anymore.

So you're a toddler now?

Oh, you should've talked to Polly.

She'll get it. You'll understand.

Why is she like that? Of course, she's a toddler. You're still thinking about it.

Because she knows Todd Paul.

She knows Todd Paul.

Hey, I'm sure. What's the matter with you, tadpole? You're already small?

Yes.

Tony is cute, right?

Why?

I already answered.

Your sarcasm is so cute.

I'm saving you.

Thank you for saving me.

Here's God's instrumental.

Sorry, sorry.

God's instrumental.

What will remind you that you're not alone? You. Mental! What do you remember when you're not alone? The kids. The kids. The kids. Me too, the kids. My two parrots.

What's the name of your parrot?

Poppy and Kitten.

What's the name of your birds?

Cocker and Shouter. Is that really the name? Yes, Cocker. Because he's a cockatiel. Shouter, he's a loudmouth so he's Shouter. Really? What is happiness for you now?

When I met God, that was my shelter, my shield. When I wake up in the morning, I can say that I'm blessed because every morning is a blessing

for me and for all of us. That's why all the sorrows, unsighted depression, all of us. That's why all the sorrows, the unsighted depression, all of that is gone. It's being rebuked because of His name.

Alex, what is happiness for you now?

Peace. Because it's hard to find. And Empoy was right. The peace we get knowing that someone is in control and we have no control over anything, no matter how good we are at controlling it,

it will not go our way. So, that's it. You just waking up every day knowing that you have something to look forward to, then okay. But if we're going to cheat,

can we pay for the answer?

Of course.

Of course. Of course?

Of course!

She'll give me a suitcase.

I'll be the one to transfer it to this address.

I'll make a movie.

I'm happier now. Or when you've helped someone and you see the happiness on their face.

Yeah.

Hey, you might get sick like me. I lived my whole life as a kid up to 38 years old. Oh my gosh. The gift of giving. I thought happiness is making someone happy. And when you see your loved ones happy, you're happier for them. And you're happier for yourself up until you can't give anything anymore.

What I learned is you fill your cup. What's inside the cup is yours. What overflows is for them.

What's your cup? A or B? I'm just A.

Oh, same!

One more!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

How many cups of rice do you eat?

Half, I only eat half a cup.

You?

I can see it.

Injobot.

Is that a lie or basmati?

I think it's shirataki.

Shirataki.

Shirataki. Okay. Okay, then you wag wag. Wag wag. Pwesta. Kung biglang huminto ang buhay mo ngayon, ano ang pagsisisiya mo na hindi mo nagawa o nasabi? Ikaw, kung mawawala ka ngayon, eday wala ka na ngayon.

Hindi, kung mawawala ka ngayon, ano yung isang bagay na pagsisisiya mo na hindi mo nagawa? I didn't get to share the good news. The word of God. I think you shared it.

Not just in your life.

He's trying.

I don't know if I'll regret the legacy I didn't leave behind. The little Alex that will continue the work. I don't know if I'll regret it. I don't know if I'll regret it. Who will take care of my house? My birds? Who will take care of them? If your bird gets married, who will take care of them? Who will bring them to the altar?

Who will pay for the reception? If your bird continues to live, who will take care of it? Think about it. Don't think about it. What does it mean you be with? Think about it. Don't just think about it.

What does success mean to you?

When you wake up in the morning, you don't need to prove anything. I think that's it.

That's beautiful.

Before, when you look at me, what does success mean to you? When people come to you when you need them. That means you're reliable. Why did you think of it? You get it?

Oh my goodness, that's not it at all. Please delete all, I already answered that in my interviews. Success is just knowing that you made it. You're ready to accept yourself for who you are. You're awake, you're aware of your patterns. I think I succeeded.

Of course, Pa. After you went to the CR.

That's right.

Success.

No, that's a different kind of success.

Number two.

That's different. It's different. The foot is first.

Yes.

What?

What else?

The one you left in 2025.

That's it!

Now it's different, it's 2026.

Nice.

I'm already sleeping early. I go to sleep at 5pm.

You go to sleep at 5pm?

I need to go home because I'm already awake at 1am.

Before, he was still awake at 9am.

What time was that?

I don't know.

Hey!

I don't know.

It's past. He's still awake at 9am. What time is that? I don't know. Hey! I don't know. It's past.

What is it?

You left that life.

Let's go to the next one.

Let's go to the last question each.

What do you do when you're sad?

Oh, shucks.

If you're going to get tonsil surgery, why?

You're weird.

Don't be a worship song. Call a friend. You write your feelings down.

You'll see what you feel and you'll know why.

I also journal when I'm sad. But I can't do it anymore because I have two kids. It's hard to journal.

So what do you do?

I have a me time. I journal until I'm until the sadness subsides. So I just let her be. I just let her go.

It's like, if you're going through something, you take your jacket from the person you left behind and you put on the jacket of happiness again. Inside her closet? Yes, inside her closet.

Ah, so there's a metaphor.

She's thinking of a music video. Yes. I understand.

There's a visual that explains everything.

Yes, a visual.

You're right.

What's the biggest change in your life?

Oh!

There really is.

And it's ongoing. It's ongoing. It's really ongoing. Okay, And it's ongoing. It's ongoing. Okay, it's changed. I can't say what's mine, but my life has changed.

How about you, babe?

You can see what's important and what's not. Last question. See, we're done. What's one mistake that you did that taught you the best lesson?

I prioritized people. No one taught me to love myself. Even when I was young, it wasn't like, Oh, my child, choose yourself. It's not like that. That was my biggest mistake. But then again, it brought me to find myself and to love myself.

So now, I get it.

That's beautiful. What about you?

What she said was beautiful. It's even in English.

Yeah, I wanna join a beauty contest. More, her.

What?

What?

So, you answered her mistake.

Yes. For me, it's not about me. I'm thankful for my mistake. That's right. If I didn't go through it, I wouldn't be where I am now. And I also ask you two to pray for me so I can continue this purpose in our lives.

Do you know what your purpose is?

The arena.

I told you.

What purpose?

All-purpose floor. Tony, Tony, she doesn't get your nonsense.

You need to accompany her for two days. I'm selling a book.

I'm lagging. I'm lagging. I'm analyzing what you're saying. So to end our conversation, if you were to describe your friendship, how would you describe the friendship you have?

It's like there's a parallel universe. I feel like he's my son.

Ma?

You're a son?

Son?

Why son?

He's three years old, right?

This one is one year old.

Of course, he's already passed that card. Okay, four. No, I like our friendship because we look out for each other.

It's important that you have a friend like that, especially in this world.

He's a friend, front and back.

Not really, I was just blocked. But yes. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

See?

That's a game.

You know, he's the kind of friend who defends you in rooms even if you're not there.

You confirmed it?

Because I interviewed him.

You're my great defender. So if you're a great defender, what is Alex to you?

You're the universe.

Wow, he said that. He's in love with me.

Are you in love with Alex?

No, not really.

You're so stubborn. You're so stubborn.

You're in love with Alex.

I'm in love with him. With his...

He admitted it.

No, not that. I'm not like her. She's your mom. You're not like her? No, not at all. Not at all.

Why not?

I'll kick you later. No, I'm serious. I consider her like my sister. You can't say she's wrong.

That's the kind of friend you have. I deserve more. I'm sorry. You should want the best of friend you are. I deserve more. Why is she wrong? Sorry, sorry. She doesn't understand English. But you should want the best for me, Toni. I love you. I love you so much.

I was bashed by a guest who said, My employer, when I'm in love, I'm so mean to you.

She's so mean. If they only knew how mean I am. That's how like that.

We can't see each other in a malicious way.

Aside from the unconventional love team, you found the true friendship in each other.

It's true. I've been here for a long time.

Rare.

It's like his store in Bazaar.

I'll call you rare.

Unicorn.

You're deep.

You are rare. Unicorn. Hey, you're too deep. You are rare.

Yeah, you are ra-

ra-

ra-

Thank you very much Alessandra and Mpoy for this meaningful conversation. I hope they learned something from what we shared. Yes. They learned a lot for sure.

That's a lot. We'll edit all of that. That's a lot. We'll edit all of that.

No, we'll edit it all.
