SPEAKER_02 0:00

I'm not gonna fake anything. I'm going to be honest with him and I'm gonna be upfront and I'm gonna show him what my intentions were. Every household is different, Eva. And to me, I'm under your household. So off I'm not gonna say what I want to truly say, but I'll just accept that this is this is you guys. This is how you guys are in terms of conflict or when you fight. It's humbling. I know it may be hard, especially at LS your eldest. You wanted to entrust your daughter to a person who's not a maniac or a psychopath.

SPEAKER_01 0:36

Welcome to Marriage is a Marathon, the podcast. I hope you see Anthony Pangilinan.

SPEAKER_00 0:41

And I'm Marisa Laksa Pangilinan. We are on season two.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

And today, ang pagusa pampunaten, I tungusamanga in-laws and outlaws. Woohoo! So our guest is actually our son-in-law, Enrique Miranda. Pagusa Pampunaten ang secreto niela. Please welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Marriages of Marathon the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

Enrique Miranda.

SPEAKER_02 1:10

Yay! Thank you for having me. Thank you for actually been also waiting for you guys to invite me. So, yeah, I'm not sure. I was given a time limit, so I might um exceed it pang ha wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_01 1:30

What what was your mindset? Obviously, na nyo, guys. But getting into this uh family. Yeah joining this family.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

It's not a family, it's a barangay.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

Yes, what was your mindset getting into the Pangilinan clan?

SPEAKER_02 1:47

I've like, yeah, that's actually a good question. I've I've known who you guys were, um, obviously, because of you're you're in the industry and at one point you were in politics, and I would see you, I would see you actually I used to watch your show on CNN. And it was really nice, you know, you'd interview um business leaders, but anyways, going back to your question, um I think I think the mindset was really in like with within your barangay as a family. I I've I found it very interesting how all of you, even though you're so big, you're all so close. Um and I think that close-knitness really also excited me to want to get to know all of you. Didn't scare you off. It didn't scare me because in my family, we're also I come from a very big family, but we're very clingy towards each other. We always want to be around. So I kind of liked that. I like that. And when I first met the entire family, to be honest, I'm not being cocky or anything, I was actually really excited because I was I wanted to see how a group of people that I've never met in my entire life, completely different values and background and industry, because all of you guys are entertainment, you have politics, so it's really like a whole boodle or like a halo halo of different people. And I think that's what really excited me. Um at that time also Ella was really nervous. She was the one nervous pang. Right. Um so yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

Well, actually, na gula tinakoka Enrique.

SPEAKER_01 3:23

Da hell.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

Kasi yung si na sabinya na he met the entire family. Kasi na that was during the campaign, one of the campaign sorties of Kiko.

SPEAKER_03 3:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:33

And she na lynch nya si gari na suma yao. Siku ya gari chaka si Jan Jan. Jan Jan happens to be the person na pinaka outgoing sa boong. Baga ka pate.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

Nan was, yeah, moment na began to doubt.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

No, no.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

Iba ito iba ang ta pang nit.

SPEAKER_00 3:53

Oh and for the first time na nakilala mo si Anthony, you wore a floral floral shirt. Nah, normally, sh're kung makikilala mm yung tata y ng lili gao.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Yeah, big mang background, yung outin na. It wasn't just what he wore. Sha pa'ang ang huming meeting na yung. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Why did you ask to meet Anthony?

SPEAKER_02 4:17

Yeah. You know, I'm if you look at it, if you look back now, I'm sure that both of you as parents also knew that my like you wanted to see what my intentions were with your daughter. And I wanted to sh for me, it was really like Ella made it clear that I need to go through her parents first. So I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

So that was Ella's side.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

That was like non-negotiable. So for me, it was really like, okay, if this is what it would take for me to get to know you on a deeper emotional and relationship level, then by all means I'll meet your dad. I'll sit down with him. And I'm a, as you know, I I love to be surrounded by people, older people. That's where parang, like I come to life when I'm around older people. And when I actually when I thought about it, I was like, you know what? I want to meet him, to show him who I really am. I'm not gonna fake anything. I'm going to be who I'm really. Oh my god. I'm going to I'm not gonna fake anything. Or, you know, I'm not I'm going to be honest with him and I'm gonna be upfront and I'm going to show him what my intentions were. Even if it meant by the way I would dress. I was dressed at that time. You know, I was yes, I was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, I was in shorts and Birkin socks. I was comfortable and I wanted to know that I wanted you know dad to see that wow, this guy is really either there's something, there's a lot of loose screws with him, or he's really, this is really his personality.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

What's that to date or to court?

SPEAKER_02 5:48

To date to date, to date. So I asked, so I asked not to marry Papa. Not to marry, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 5:58

This was 2017. Now I remember. So Ella wanted whoever would court her. Sorry, ask permission. First, gonna but which was not Ella all her life, huh? So but this is something she learned after you know years of of engaging with the opposite sex. I want I want my dad to remember. Now I remember how bold you were at what you wore. Yeah, how comfortable you are with what you to eat, to be honest.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

Yeah, no, like thinking about it. Now we only spoke about Ella for like 10 minutes. I was with you for maybe more than three hours to the point that my phone kept ringing. And I remember you kept trying to call him and be like, Where are you? Where are you? And then you didn't, you wouldn't even you wouldn't even respond, right? It was only after.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

So you had a good time.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

So we had a I had a great time honestly getting to know you. And for you also to see, and you know, hear my get to know me, because you don't you like I'm sure you've heard about me before, like what my where my family's from and all that, but it was not really on the get to know Enrique on a personal level.

SPEAKER_01 7:04

Well, let's go to two years, ta? Two years of marriage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, yeah, almost yeah. So the two become one. The two become one. How has that been for you? How has how have you become one in two years?

SPEAKER_00 7:18

Pero kailang natin established the fact that six years silang mag boyfriend and girlfriend, bago si la naga.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Six, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

Six years. So we really got to know Enrique in a very personal way, even during the pandemic. Yeah. You know, so and then now they entered into their marriage two years. How has it been for you?

SPEAKER_02 7:38

That two big harming that while you know, honestly, the two years have been, I'm not gonna sugarcoat anything. It was a challenge because um, you know, it was the first time that me and Ella also lived together. Yeah. Um, so there was a big adjustment there. But I already knew how Ella was over that span of time. I'd always visit your house, I'd always see how she would be around your, you know, whether it's kitchen or the living room. So I already like processed my my in my mind that okay, if she comes in, she comes into my household, this is how she's gonna be. So it was a big adjustment, you know. The first I remember the first night, the first night of our marriage, um, we fought about the air con. Because I like the air con cold. Really cold, like really, really cold, and she doesn't like it cold. So it was a big fight about whether, you know, what temperature it would be. Obviously, I just gave it to her in a dance. So yeah, like you know, stuff like that. It was a big adjustment. Um but in terms of like on a deeper, on a deeper level, it was I think we wouldn't we would have never been able to do it if it wasn't for guidance, guidance from our parents, such as you guys, and also like our gr my grandparents um and other people just giving us tips. Um obviously because of him also, right? Because he if it wasn't for him, and if it I wouldn't uh I wouldn't really know what to do, and so would Ella, she wouldn't really know what to do.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

So this is why I really appreciate both of you when it comes to asking advice. Kasi not a lot of young people are open to getting advice from other people. Cause normally magbago kay mg a sawa, kayun na lang moon na mag solve na mga problem. But in your case, you always ask us for advice.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

Actually, this is no seminar natin. Toto yeah, you attend or four.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Before, actually, four, I was like, you know what? Yeah, four times I attended your seminar without Ella even being there.

SPEAKER_03 9:43

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 9:43

I attended your seminar. And then even if, you know, you you guys would be in the glimpse, I'd still show my face. You know, I'd be like, hi Tito, hi Tita, I'm Enrique, and all that. And I'd still listen, I'd and I'd engage with other people. It was really good. It really helped me also.

SPEAKER_00 9:56

So where is this coming from? Is this something innate in you that you would ask people for me for advice?

SPEAKER_02 10:03

I think it is how my parents raised me, my mom and my dad. Um they they would always, and my parents admit if they didn't know something, they'd ask.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

They'd ask. Because you know, you don't you don't want to have too much pride. Um, and there's nothing wrong with asking. It can be a really faint question or it can be a big question. At least if you ask, you know what the answer could be.

SPEAKER_00 10:25

So you know what my favorite thing is that you guys ask is is there food? Is there food? Yes, and we always have food because we always want you to come there out.

SPEAKER_02 10:38

Five minutes, that's it, you know. I think that was also a good strategic move into the relation. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 10:45

You know what? Let's let's let's let's give you the chance to give them three tips, okay? What to do or maybe what not to do in getting uh acquainted with your in-laws, the first years of your marriage. Yeah, anung mga suggestion.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

I think that's that's really good. Like not in a categorized order, but I think what's really important, and what was really important for me was be yourself. Um why? Because yeah, by being yourself, they would see the truth about who you are. Um and no, that's one. Second would be obviously you can't do it, you can't do everything by yourself. So don't be afraid to like ask questions and don't be afraid to ask. And I think the third would be surround yourself with family all the time. Because yes, there may be times and there may be some people that being surrounded by family, they can get agitated because of this, you know, too much barking in their ears. But I I think of it as a as a blessing.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 11:45

You know, as a blessing to have, even if even if you want to strangle them, but be surrounded, you know, surround yourself with them is a great thing.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

You know, one thing also I appreciate about you is you have also been around us during times of conflict. Natalagang naga away tayo. Ta yung lahat, meron ta yung disagreement, and nahi aren't ya, pero angusoko sakanya is judgment. Kung baga, it's just remained the same. And I really appreciate that.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

Thank you. I think that you know there are two things there now. Um one would be every household is different. And to me, I'm under your household. So off I'm not gonna say what I want to truly say, but I'll just accept that this is this is you guys. This is how you guys are in terms of conflict or when you fight. And obviously it's not sometimes it's not sweet, but as a person, I'm just you know, just swallowing my saliva and just not talking, uh which has happened so many times.

SPEAKER_00 13:02

You've never become part of the problem.

SPEAKER_02 13:03

No, no, no, no. I try sometimes, I just change topic. You know, I just changed topic just to make everybody keep quiet and move on.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

So isa pang na pan sing kosayo is no immediately the day after kayokina sal ni ela, you started calling us mom and oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

That came from my dad.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

That came from my dad. And actually that came from my uh my Tito Clinton. Uh-uh. I remember he I remember my dad and Tito Clinton told me, even if it was hard, like my dad wouldn't really call my in-laws their, you know, by their like mom and dad. Uh he would have like a pa and a ma before their name, which is which is also really interesting, you know. But my one of my Tito, Tito Clinton, was like, just do it. Even if it's hard, just do it. And it wasn't hard for me, it was exciting. Like the dad, mom, you know, it was really exciting. No, it was hard for her. It does for her. And then for for for your did you did you hear that? Just call them mom. You know, I remember and and everybody else, like Donnie, Hannah, and Bench and Solana were all like, oh yeah, shift. Even for Ella, it was I told Ella, Ella just do it. Just do it. Even with your mom. Even with mom, my dad, Ella just called her mom and dad. Yeah, just call them by what they really are. At the end of the day, they are our parents.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

So to get it over with tip, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Yeah, yeah, it's like that.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

Actually, with my mother-in-law, she never treated me as an in-law, she always called me her daughter.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

Yeah. Oh, thank you. I was gonna ask you if you were gonna you know say that.

SPEAKER_00 14:37

I always say that. From the very beginning, I told you, you are my son.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Yeah, and I really like that.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

And I offered my last marathon to you.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

Yeah, that was great.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

That was great.

SPEAKER_01 14:48

Yeah. Let's go to your marriage. Yeah. Okay, in-laws, so again, two years. Give give me practical tips. Tutto bayon that Ella really prepares baon. Or yeah. Come on, come on.

SPEAKER_02 15:00

Actually, okay, regarding regarding the baon, and I'm sure everybody, everybody's seen it already. You should really tough guys. Yeah, it was really um. I I I told her, I was like, you know, I'm I'm in the point in my life also that I kind of want to be healthy. I want to eat healthier food. And if you can help me, please help me. So she was like, okay, let's start, let's start cook, let's start packing you bound. So usually the bounce is our leftovers, or sometimes she'd already cook a lot of meals and then she'd put it in containers and then put a date like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So that's just what I get. That's what I get from the fridge. There are times also, if she's not lazy, she'd put it in uh um uh my lunchbox and then just put it in the ref. But I I like how every single time it's always something new. So it's it's no, I don't really eat rice, but it's um sharitake rice, so it's mushroom. Um, and then she'd put like vegetables and she'd put like fish or meat. Um but and then also she'd add a dessert. Uh should even it could be fruits, like apple, banana, or you know, the fruits I like, grapes. And then sometimes she'd even make a shake. So it's like a whole well a whole prep meal already.

SPEAKER_00 16:11

Yes, that's a production.

SPEAKER_02 16:12

Yeah, it's a it's our it's a real production, and I'm very thankful for that.

SPEAKER_01 16:15

How did that lead to the TikTok thing of So Karon?

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Yeah, honestly, that just came that just came by because like you know, in in being beside, I always say Karon. So like now, what's gonna happen now and all of that. No, so that So Karun thing, it just came out on my first TikTok video. Actually, to be honest, I'm a very shy person. Like, I don't really like being like videos and stuff, but I'm talking about I'm proud to say that my my TikTok videos are one take. I'm proud about that. Obviously, there's a little bit of edit here and there because I can go out of line. Sometimes I would say words that I shouldn't even say, but I think that's just Bisaya lingo for anybody of you who are Bisaya, you know, you know that. Um para makatipid. Ah, the makatipid. Okay, the makatipid came from her. She was like, you have to be practical. You know, let's not let's you should make a video that shows the audience or what it really means to save. And and because, you know, because you have to be able to do it. I'm a victim also of that. That I spend on food, you know, I grab food panda, I just buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. And I realized that over time it adds up in expenses. It gets more expensive, expense, expense. So I told Ella, um actually sorry, rather, Ella told me, why don't we just focus on your videos about telling the audience and showing them what it really means to save. So essentially she's the one who recommends you to be honest with the I wouldn't say content create, I would just I would which I'm not. I think it it's really more of like just making practical practical videos that you know, practical videos that a lot of people like. And it's funny. I think it's the language.

SPEAKER_00 18:17

I think it's it's also the language, but also because you're not acting. I'm not I'm being real. You really are doing exactly what you do in real life.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

It's like exactly organic, they call it there. Yeah, that's what that's what people were saying. And I also like how when you know, like let's just say when I go to Cebu or a Bessiah person spots me, goes up to me and tells me, I really like your video. Obviously, for me, I'm like, um, okay, but at the end of the day, you know, also reading the comments, it's it's practical tips that it's like find you know financial literacy or just teaching them practical tips on how to save.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

Okay, okay, let's go to practical tips. Yeah, so okay, can I just go straight to that?

SPEAKER_00 18:56

Can he do it in Besai?

SPEAKER_01 18:58

I don't know, it's up to him. But yeah, practical tips for a newlywed couple.

SPEAKER_02 19:04

I can do it in English. Okay, um, I think practical tips for a newlywed couple. Um, obviously, like if if you're are are we talking about like getting married?

SPEAKER_01 19:15

Anything, anything the fact that two years now into the marriage really helps.

SPEAKER_02 19:21

Really putting your money into different savings, right? So like obviously one for me, a big thing for me and LS the tithing. A really big thing is tithing, because what we put, we receive tenfold.

SPEAKER_01 19:34

Amen.

SPEAKER_02 19:35

Um secondly, it would be having uh well, I we categorize it into like four different accounts. So we have one account which is uh big fun, so that's money where we that's money where we used to spend on traveling or um other fun activities. Then we have a home account where operations, everything home expenses, so from electricity bills to to water bills, um to food allowance, food salary for our staff, a gasoline. Um the third would be the third would be a giving account, right? So in the giving account, it's what we give, right? What we give back.

SPEAKER_01 20:15

Yeah um and then the fourth, um thank you for the giving that you're any of our advocacy.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

Yes, yeah, of course. And then the fourth would be well, aside from our personal, which is just ours, like we have an investment. So every payday I get, um I put a big chunk into that investment.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

Not to touch, just keep it there. And this is this is something you both have agreed on. Yes, was it on day one or is it after the first year?

SPEAKER_02 20:47

Because I was very upfront with uh well I didn't really know how to save growing up. So I, you know, I'm a kid, I was young. Every, you know, every allowance, I'd spend it on useless things. Things that, you know, thinking back now, oh my god, did I really need another remote control car? I already have like, or did I need a remote control airplane? Like, you know, those were my hobbies. Um and I realized like just looking back now, wow, if I just saved all of this and put it aside, I can have a lot. So when did you decide to do this? Second year? No, just during our first year. First year. First year, yeah. Okay, so it was after, actually, it was after during our honeymoon. We were already talking about our finances and how we would do it. Because I already told Ella and in my our in our minds at that time, what's mine is yours. So it's not my money, it's not your money, it's our our money.

SPEAKER_01 21:45

So when money comes, you already have a set person. Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

Yes, we are we are it's we're already memory we already memorized.

SPEAKER_00 21:52

It's for giving.

SPEAKER_02 21:53

So okay, so it's expense. Basically, first is diving diving. Oh. It can be five, ten. It really depends how much. Actually, for me, I just sometimes I just put more than what I want. Okay. So tithing. Um second is big fun, which is for big for big fun users, traveling and all that. Third is um home home expenses. Yeah. And then fourth is giving. Ibapa yung giving is a big thing. Yeah. Tithing is really just yeah, tithing. And then giving is giving.

SPEAKER_00 22:26

Okay. So you also have an emergency fund that's the investment, which is bad investment also.

SPEAKER_01 22:32

Okay, an apah. So budget, that's one. What else has worked for you?

SPEAKER_00 22:35

I know that organized ni la yung baha.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

Oh my gosh. Most I was telling Enrique and uh Maramidjan, it takes years. Sometimes it never happens, that they organize their home. When they start their marriage, priority in lies, their relationship, their bonding. But you guys made it a point that you will organize the home. Can you tell us a little more about that?

SPEAKER_02 23:00

I think I think with that, I was very, very blessed that my mom and my mom and my dad were like growing up, they were very much into helping. Me and my brother and my sister, um just helping us and setting us for our uh future. So on the in the line of my mom, she helped me. She helped me set up the home that I live in now with furniture. And of course, along the way, me and me and Ella started adding our own personal touches.

SPEAKER_00 23:27

But you keep it clean and ordinancy.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

Ah yeah, I think that's really just the OC in my family. We're very OC. Oh my god. It's it's uh master bedroom, you la bah it's clean as you go. That's our motto. Like that's my motto in the household. Clean as you go. And and I'm I don't like dust. I don't like dirt. I don't like watermarks. So I don't like to see it because it just ruins it it messes things up. October. So it's it's my OC Ness now.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:00

So I always I always do inspection like that. So if I see and there's dust, I I get a towel and then I just wipe it.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

And you don't rely on people to do it for you.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Both of you do it together. Yeah, we help, we help each other at home with our stuff. Um you trained your stuff. Yeah, I just don't do cooking. That's the only thing I don't do. I don't cook.

SPEAKER_00 24:19

Ah, I've seen you cook and then you taste your own food and it's good.

SPEAKER_02 24:22

Oh yeah, of course, because already somebody's telling me already what to do. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You? He's the one in charge of all the sauça one. Yeah, okay, that that I can do well. You and Sausa? That I can do well. And I can do pasta. I can cook pasta. Or maybe fry bangos, because it's easy to do.

SPEAKER_01 24:37

Any other any other habits that you have embraced early on in marriage that you really think is is gonna well it already has impacted your life, but in the long run, it's really gonna help you. Any other habits you and Marie, you and Mariselle, you and uh Ella. I mean Ella. Habits.

Habits that have really Especially now that you're gonna be a daddy.

And you know, you guys are all triathletes, and here here I am with a six-pack, you know, with a beer in my hand all the time, right? So exercise. I had to really change that. That's what I'm trying to do. And same with Ella, also. I we push each other, we push each other. Um, especially now, you know, like I've gotten I like swimming now. Wow. So that's something I do, and and I jog, I try to do maybe five kilometers every day if I can. If not, I just do two, just just good sweat. Yeah, and then just release all the negativity and everything from me during work during the day. I just let it all out.

I like to do my devotions in the car while just listening to like podcasts on the way to the office. Um sometimes I do it in the office, or sometimes I go to to church.
