Regal Films producer Roselle Monteverde remembers how her mother, Lily Monteverde, or Mother Lily, as she was fondly called in showbiz, got worried because of the movies she produced—Manila by Night and Sister Stella L. But despite this, Mother Lily told Roselle that she would hold on to these films and would not surrender them if the authorities go after Regal.

00:00Ms. Rosel, I believe you are the runaway winner of the most number of films produced included in the book
00:09Sine.
00:10To name them, Salawahan, Manila by Night, Pabling, Relasyon, Hinugot sa Langit, Sister Stella L, Underage, Virgin Forest, Scorpio Night,
00:21Sinner or Saint, Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit,
00:24Kuratcha, Signal Rock, Tuhog, Jesus Revolusyonario.
00:31Meron pa.
00:33Siyempre yung kay Direct Joel na hubog and also yung broken marriage.
00:41Nangkulang pa ako dun.
00:43Wala tuloy ako matanong.
00:45Muti na review ko yung book.
00:47Kundi rhetorical na lang.
00:49Are you pleased and how proud are you, just how proud are you of your mother and your family?
00:58Nako.
01:01Joanne, thank you, thank you for putting this together.
01:04And I know you spent so much time doing this.
01:07How many years ngayon?
01:09Never mind.
01:10Never mind.
01:11Okay.
01:12You know, Joanne, you know, I'm really very, very proud that I'm the daughter of Mother Lily.
01:22You know, like second year na siya, just no August 4.
01:29She's always in my mind kasi we've worked together.
01:33Of course, I'm her daughter, but iba naman yung daughter and mother when it comes to work.
01:40Iba yung dynamics.
01:42May days na talagang nag-aaway din kami.
01:45May things na we don't agree on.
01:47And then there are things that, you know, that we agree on.
01:51And there's many, many things.
01:53So, I learned so much from her.
01:56She's really my mentor.
01:59I'm very, very, I mean, Kulang ang very, very proud.
02:04I don't know how to express it, but I'm very, very proud to be a daughter of Mother.
02:11Kasi ano, Joanne, I would say she's very fearless to be able to produce that match.
02:18And hindi naman kami maraming pera, alam mo.
02:21But because she's very passionate about it.
02:25I would say na even those films and filmmakers and stories that I would think that there are, you know,
02:35when it could be like a movie that no one wants to produce, but she's willing to gamble.
02:42She took so much risk.
02:45At the same time, you know, she loves her directors.
02:51She loves her actors.
02:52To the point na, pati ako nagsiselos.
02:56Growing up.
02:57Wow.
02:58Okay.
03:00She puts more attention to them, right?
03:02I mean, you know, as, you know, I can speak on behalf of our family because she spends most of
03:08her time doing,
03:10you know, producing, producing, and to the point that siguro naguilti din siya, ginawa niya, yung trabaho niya, dinala niya
03:18sa bahay.
03:19Pero ganun din, mas gumulo.
03:22Pero after all that, wala namang mahirap na hindi ka matutuwa, di ba, in the end.
03:28So I'm just so happy.
03:30This is her legacy.
03:31This is what she gave us.
03:32And we really treasure all that, Joanne.
03:38Tanungin ko lang, dagdag lang, pero nahirapan din kasi kayo, di ba?
03:44Aling pelikula?
03:45Diyan sa mga napili natin, ang pinaka nagbigay ng heartache or headache sa inyo?
03:54Dito sa mga napili?
03:56Dito sa mga napili.
03:57Alam ko, my mom talked about Manila by Night and Sister Stella L.
04:04Kasi both those movies were, you know, very controversial in terms of, you know, how we are, the state of
04:12the Philippines that time.
04:13So to the point that she told me at one point, na parang huhuliin na ba siya?
04:21Di ba?
04:22And she needed to keep the film intact at hindi niya talaga ibibigay.
04:31So yun ang, I think, it's not really a headache, but it's more of a, something that you fight for.
04:39And she fought.
04:41Yeah, I think mother should be given credit for courage.
