“There’s fear in not knowing, so whenever I see fear, I rationalize things so I can handle it well. I think deeply so I can understand it better. There is nothing that the mind cannot control.”MANUEL CHUA
(Here are some of Excerpts from Tim Yap interview for Supreme.ph)
I was never afraid of…Heights, deep water, speed…I’m basically an adventurous person.
I fear…Failure.
And I conquered this fear by…Thinking positive. Believing in God and myself.
When I was a kid, I used to be scared of…My mom, because she is really the disciplinarian in the family. Growing up with two other hard-headed brothers, we used to get involved in a lot of mishaps but we backed up each other all the time.
The hardest challenge in the show would have to be…The pressures of the show. Giving my best, expectations that I need to meet and trying to push myself to win. Stunt-wise there were actually three stunts that stood out for me as the hardest, first was the snake tank stunt that I never get to try because I earned the “IWAS PELIGRO” for that round of elimination (I was lucky on that one); second was the candy shop where we had to eat insects, rats, worms while trying to beat each other’s time (not lucky at all); third was another stunt whose difficulty I underestimated at first.
When I’m scared, I…Tend to block it off. Fear is all in the mind.Something that with strong determination you can control and overcome.
In your own words, complete the line in the song “When I was afraid, I was…” When I was afraid, I was really damn afraid.
I’m not afraid to show my… Kryptonite (everybody has his own weakness).
This coming year, I promise to… Be the best that I can possibly be.
You can watch me in…Pinoy Fear Factor on ABS-CBN primetime bida.
