Kaye Abad, Patrick Garcia, and Paolo Contis recently opened up about their personal bucket lists in an interview connected to their latest film, “A Journey,” which is currently Netflix’s number one film. The trio, who last worked together 25 years ago on the iconic series “Tabing Ilog,” shared their deeper personal wishes and life goals amidst their on-screen reunion.
Kaye Abad expressed her simple yet profound desire to spend quality time with her family, particularly her two sons, without the need for nannies. “I want to cherish my time with them because, as it is with Shane’s case, I don’t really know how much time I have left in this world to spend with the people I love,” Kaye reflected, drawing a parallel to her character in the film who is battling cancer.
Patrick Garcia, known for his dramatic roles, shared three specific goals: building his dream home for his family, traveling the world with them, and experiencing the thrill of skydiving. He also mentioned a unique wish to play basketball with LeBron James, highlighting his desire for adventurous and memorable experiences.
Paolo Contis, on the other hand, spoke from a place of recent personal challenge, focusing on his mother who suffered a stroke. His bucket list is more about making up for lost time and enjoying moments with his mother while he still can. “I regret not doing things I should have done with her when she still could… when she was still OK,” Paolo shared, emphasizing the importance of family and time.
The interview also touched on the thematic elements of “A Journey,” directed by RC delos Reyes, which deals with mortality and the bonds of friendship and love. The director shared his own reflections on family and the impact of the pandemic, which influenced the themes of the film.
The candid discussion with Kaye, Patrick, and Paolo not only gave insights into their current project but also revealed their personal priorities and the values that guide their lives off-screen. Their friendship and chemistry, both on and off the camera, add a layer of authenticity to their performances in “A Journey,” making it a heartfelt exploration of life’s priorities against the backdrop of enduring relationships.
