Why Direk Cathy Doesn't Consider Herself Successful | Toni Talks

With several blockbuster movies under her direction, Cathy Garcia-Molina shares how she started, what she learned from her mentors and the very reason why she doesn't consider herself successful until now.

[@rggiii5089]

13:57 Naiyak ako kay Derek. My sister is also working in the film industry. Her first project as Post Production Assistsnt is She's Dating the Gangster (directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina). Madaling araw aalis, madaling araw uuwi. 2 oras na tulog, tapos pasok ulit. Maswerte na siya pag ganun. Kasi may times na 1 month kong di makikita ate ko. Lalo na pag MMFF kaso doble doble project nila. Which is sad kasi 2 lang kming magkasama dito sa Manila. I always make sure na mahatiran ko siya ng damit sa post prod office nila sa Tomas Morato kasi that's A chance for me to see her. Maswerte kung may makakasabay na artista sa elevator. :) Pero I understand my sister kasi I know that she's doing it for us nung nag aaral plng ako and alam kong passion tlga niya. I didn't used to love watching Pinoy Films. Mas gusto ko dati international. I feel na hindi maganda or baduy. But I got to appreciate it more nung malaman ko gaano kahirap gumawa ng pelikula at gaano kalaki sinasakrisyo ng bawat staff para matapos at umabot sa premier night. So please, kung di niyo trip manuod ng Pinoy Films respetuhin niyo na lang.

[@franiemaetayaban5789]

This Toni talks really suits Toni Gonzaga. She's letting the people on showbiz tell their stories we never heard. That's why we should never judge a person without knowing all their stories.❤️

Success comes in stages and can be measured progressively but not just materially. Ultimate success, of course, is when we are finally reunited with our true Father in heaven. This, after all, is our real mission in life.

Kapag Direk Cathy ang director ng Movies or Teleserye pinapanuod ko talaga lahat.😊❤️

[@ccyesornocc7989]

Same here. She’s a genius !

[@kimevanbatacando4057]

yung kakaiba sa mga talks ni toni... binubuksan nya yung side ng guest nya na hindi masyado alam ng mga tao... the emotions and honesty talaga made her talks great

[@p-jay6942]

OMG I am crying. 😭 She only made us cry through her films. Now she's making us cry with her own story. Thanks Direk!

[@mikay9911]

I'm a grandchild of a lighting director that works with GMA/ABSCBN. The industry is harsh pero grabe impact sa employees nila. Sobra silang magmahal ng trabaho. Totoo, ang sacrifice nila ay time sa family. My lolo now is 70+ years old pero kapag tinawag sya management for a project, go pa din sya. Ganon nila kamahal ang industriyang ito 🥰

[@franciaalcaraz6827]

Im not a fan before of toni, but because of her wisdom i always wanted to watch her now, all of her videos is lot of wisdom hehe..

This is not Toni talks but Toni listens which is sooooo great about this channel...

[@bennethfong5086]

I'm amazed at how Direk managed to not cry upon stating the death of her husband. I don't know her personally but I was crying the whole time. I admire her courage ❤. Thank you for giving us videos like this.

[@uldri]

Everytime na manunuod ako ng ToniTalks lagi akong may natututunan. Very Inspirational, very eye opening. Thank you Lord. God Is Good All The Time. 🙏❤️

[@deeLucas1612]

Grabe naiyak ako kasi di ako umiyak nung namatay Papa ko. Umuwi ako galing Saudi at buong burol niya di ako umiyak. Di ko alam kung bakit pero nung bumalik na ako sa Saudi may isang araw na dun bumuhos luha ko. Nangingilid luha ko habang ang eecg sa patiente. At nung umuwi ako sa flat namin dun na ako nag breakdown. Tumawag ako sa nanay ko at umiiyak ako ng grabe. Ngayon bumalik na naman yung feeling. Toni talks brings out our emotions and through the stories that is featured we find comfort that it’s not only us who experienced it and we draw strength in knowing that we are not alone that we can relate to others. That’s the beauty of this vlog. Thank you Toni

[@JasminYT1]

Parang movie rin ang buhay ni Direk Cathy dahil sa pinagdaanan nya. Very inspiring! Stay strong and keep the faith to God. 🙏🏻❤️

[@papipaulo8874]

I was picturing the moment Direk Cathy found out about her husband’s death as if it was a movie she created. Toni’s transitioning of questions are alaays amazing. She really listens to her guests and goes to the core of such story they tell. 💯💕

[@ShaiCabernet]

Every single content ng Toni talks is so real sobrang tagus ang effect samin na nanunuod parang pinapakita samin na kahit ang mga successful na mga tao may hugot din pala...

One of the best Movie Directors in the Philippines Direk Cathy 😍😍

[@joshabelpaguio3329]

I'm so happy with this interview, I am a big fan of Direk Cathy since I became passionate in filmmaking in 2018, since I became aware of her works in Star Cinema, Direk Cathy is my stan in Philippine directors. 🤩❤️💯 Apart from looking up on how she worked on her successful films, I was teary-eyed by her stories on how she overcame the struggle of being a single mother knowing that her husband died many years ago. I can see and appreciate how strong she can be through her answers in this interview. I am also raised by a single mother, so apart from my admiration in film directing skills of Direk Cathy. I appreciated her even more as a mom on how she really wanted to give time to her kids and on how she really wanted to raise them as a good example to other children. 😌👏🏻❤️💯 I also admired Direk Cathy's faith to God that she never give up and trusted Him completely despite of the struggles. ❤️💯 Direk Cathy is indeed an inspiration 🤩🥺❤️👏🏻💯

"Pero ok lang. Alam ko kaya ako napagalitan dahil nagkamali ako.

Listening from others story and experiences is already great way to learn. Kudos Toni.

[@patrickkugel5191]

[@maribethvalenzuela1435]

I can relate to Ms. Cathy,my husband died when our daughter was only 8mos.old. Life goes on and sometimes we dont have a choice but to be strong for our children. We will get by by our faith to God and love and support from our family and friends. Thank u Ms. Toni for this interview with Direk Cath,for sharing her story. Now i understand why she seems to have this strong personality. Kudos to all single parents like us.

[@leonardsemilla8739]

Watching this interview to Direk Cathy,it made me cry,I felt the pain, but it makes me strong to get up again and make me stand my faith to God.Thank you Toni.

[@ChanaChan100]

Nakakatouch. Sa industriyang pang-komersyal gaya ng pagpepelikula, nakakatuwang isiping may mga taong gaya ni Direk na puso pa rin ang una bago ang kita. Ramdam ko rin yung sakripsyong ginawa niya para sa sariling karera. Ito yung patunay na sa kabila ng tagumpay, may mga bagay na di natin namamalayan nabitawan na pala natin at sa panahong tuluyan ng nawala na ang mga ito, they become the harsh lessons we learn in life. Thank you po Direk and Toni for sharing this story.

[@thelonetraveler3073]

hay may napulot ako kay direk cathy ung huling tanong ni maam toni ,ang ganda sagot niya at relevant sa lahat ng nanay

Honestly, Direk Cathy is my favorite Director. Isa sya sa inspiration ko sa pag sususulat ng mga kwento na ngaun ay kinekeep ko. Pangarap ko din makapag Direk ng pelikula. Ang role ko palagi sa school director kasi un ang gusto ko hehehe. Thank you for inspiring me direk Cathy😍❤️

[@mc6004]

I can totally relate dun sa sinabi ni Direk na God will give you an aid or something to get by. I was only 22 yrs old when my Mom passed away and I have no savings, my Dad doesn't have permanent work pero never kami nawalan ng pagkain sa hapag kainan. Totoo yung God will always provide basta you do your part at magtiwala.

It really touched my heart especially as a mother. I really admire talaga the personality that direk Cathy has. Naiyak ako and it motivates me to be strong as a person lalo na sa Faith na pinanghahawakan mo.

[@rvm6679]

Lahat ng sinabi nya tagos sa puso kooo😭 napaka humble, yung iba nga wala pang napapatunayn pero ang yabang na. Sya meron ng karapatan na maging proud pero still she never considered herself a successful. Kasi bilang ina, ang pinaka mahalaga at mamahaling trophy sa buong buhay nila ay yung makita na mabuti, matino, may takot sa Dios at mapagmahal na bata ang kanilang mga anak. The best ito toni. Bakit ba ang galing mo? God bless your talent. Mahal kita.

[@NoorAndTuhin]

😢This made me teary eyed. Direk stay strong as you are. We all miss Epoy. He's a good a friend. I remember whenever we see each other in our car club, we really always laugh together and always enjoy car talk as well as racing. One of the most memorable Xmas party that the car club had was when you attended. We had such a great time during the party games. It was so lovely to see you and Epoy having so much fun. It's ok to take a break, you deserve it. You are a great director, we appreciate your beautiful films, you're a great wife to Epoy and a great Mum to your kids. Take it easy and always stay safe. Wishing you all the best Direk! Prayers for Epoy, he will always be missed.

I always watch your vlog, Ms. Toni. It seems like I am listening to an audiobook because you uncover true to life stories. I think one the best things I ever learned from all of your vlogs is the virtue of FAITH. Every stories that your guests revealed talked about their Faith in God.

[@ramosjeff]

Honestly I don't know who is she, then after ko mapanood humanga ako, namangha ako , at nakinig and familiar ako talaga sa mga movies nya. And habang lumalalim ang usapan i realized how strong she is. Naghalo yung pagiging totoo, matapang at malakas ni Derek. And dun ko nakita na at napatunayan na sarili ko na hindi kailangan pinapakita mong umiiyak ka sa pagkakataong dapat makita ka nilang umiiyak, dito ko narealize na mas maging matatag ka sa bawat yugto ng buhay dapat mas nagiging malakas at matibay ka and now here she is! Isang fully built strong woman, na hinubog ng karanasan na nagbibigay ng inspiration sa lahat ng makakarinig, makakapanood sa kanya... And sana habang kaya nyo pa po makagawa pa po kayo ng hundred of movies na magpapasaya, magbibigay aliw, ngiti inspiration at paghanga... You are such a treasure pagdating sa pelikulang Pilipino, magbibigay dagdag inspiration sa mga bagong generation... While listening ako iyak ng iyak napaka husay nyo po magkwento. Maraming salamat po Miss Toni for this super nice content. ❤️❤️❤️
