00:00:20 How are you? I am Mel Tiangco, who will once again bring you a story of life in real life and has a place in our hearts.
00:00:29 Tonight, we will be talking about a true love story.
00:00:34 It is true because it is about two people with different backgrounds and lives,
00:00:40 but both have CP or cerebral palsy, a neurological condition that affects the movement of muscles in the body.
00:00:50 But this relationship did not stop them from seeking true love and happiness.
00:00:57 Because they found each other, they found the love and acceptance that others have given them.
00:01:06 My friends, this is the story of love between Marlene Manlangit and Jerry Mariano.
00:01:14 Let's watch this.
00:01:16 [Video playing]
00:01:20 Hi Jerry.
00:01:21 Oh, auntie.
00:01:25 Did you see your friend, Marlene?
00:01:27 Yes, auntie. She's coming down.
00:01:30 And if you see her, she's so beautiful.
00:01:33 Okay, so everybody please, let's fall in line.
00:01:36 Let's go, we're on set. Anytime she's coming down.
00:01:39 Let's go.
00:01:40 Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please.
00:01:44 I have the honor to present to you tonight, my beautiful daughter on her 18th birthday,
00:01:52 Miss Marlene Manlangit.
00:01:55 [Applause]
00:02:24 Happy birthday.
00:02:25 Thank you.
00:02:26 You can make a wish and blow your candle.

00:03:24 [Music]
00:03:49 [Music]
00:04:02 Ah, Catherine, can I be your DJ?
00:04:05 No, I can't. I'm with my boyfriend.
00:04:09 What if you're with him? I have a lot of money.
00:04:14 He's looking at me in a bad way.
00:04:18 It's okay. I'll just bring you a lady drink later.
00:04:20 Okay, later.
00:04:22 Okay.
00:04:23 Later, I'll take care of you.
00:04:24 Okay.
00:04:25 Catherine, can we go home now?
00:04:41 We have to go early tomorrow.
00:04:44 What's wrong with you? It's not closing yet.
00:04:46 You're a fool that you're still paying for the bar fines.
00:04:48 If you want, we can dance.
00:04:53 You're not dancing with me yet.
00:04:54 Just one. Come on.
00:04:55 Huh?
00:04:56 Just one dance.
00:04:57 You're so weird.
00:04:59 You can see my situation here.
00:05:02 You know I'm not really dancing.
00:05:04 You're still busy. You're still here.
00:05:05 You're not going to dance with me.
00:05:06 Come on, let's go home.
00:05:07 I don't want to go home.
00:05:08 Catherine, let's go home.
00:05:09 Jerry was normal when he was born.
00:05:11 But when he was two years old, he fell from the window and his head was hit by a car.
00:05:16 That's why the left side of his body became weak.
00:05:19 But despite his disability, Jerry became the guardian of his parents and three siblings.
00:05:27 Meanwhile, Marley was born with cerebral palsy.
00:05:33 But despite his condition, his parents and best friend, Jerry, love him very much.
00:05:40 This is also the reason why Marley grew up with full of confidence in himself.
00:05:46 I'm tired.
00:05:48 Did you see me dancing?
00:05:50 Huh? Yes, you were good, Marley.
00:05:55 You're good.
00:05:56 I'm the one who's tired.
00:05:59 It's like I'm the one who's tired.
00:06:00 You're not yet okay.
00:06:02 No, I'm okay.
00:06:04 I'm okay, Marley. Thank you.
00:06:05 You should have a girlfriend already so that she can take care of you.
00:06:14 And you can dance with me. It's my birthday.
00:06:22 Later.
00:06:25 It's hot. I'll cool down first.
00:06:29 I promise. Do you want me to get you something to drink?
00:06:34 Sure.
00:06:36 Excuse me.
00:06:40 What's wrong with you? You're my treasure.
00:06:45 You know that my loves will be jealous.
00:06:48 What loves?
00:06:50 You're just a girl.
00:06:54 It's okay. I'm not jealous.
00:06:58 Don't be jealous. Please, don't be jealous.
00:07:02 Why not?
00:07:04 Because she's normal. I'm not.
00:07:08 Why? I can guess all the girls who are normal.
00:07:12 You're not listening to me.
00:07:14 I'm your best friend.
00:07:17 I don't want to hurt you. He's a guy.
00:07:20 Hey, that's my favorite song.
00:07:27 Maybe that song will have a meaning for me tonight.
00:07:30 Jey, let's dance.
00:07:36 Sorry, Calon.
00:07:38 Hey, what's wrong with you? You're not listening to me.
00:07:45 Come on, you'll get old. Let's dance.
00:07:48 Come on.
00:07:51 Marley, I'll dance with you. I promise.
00:07:56 Next song.
00:07:57 Okay.
00:07:59 Marlene never hides her feelings for a normal guy, Calon.
00:08:06 You have a big hair.
00:08:13 Wait.
00:08:15 Jery, do I have to change something?
00:08:22 I don't have any.
00:08:23 I'm a customer. That's why I bought it early.
00:08:26 I only paid 45 pesos. I'll give you 500.
00:08:29 What will I give you?
00:08:31 I don't have any. But let me. I already prepared breakfast.
00:08:36 Maybe, Kathryn will wake up.
00:08:39 Who? Your girlfriend?
00:08:42 You've been cooking for a while.
00:08:46 You didn't even say goodbye to the owner of the house.
00:08:51 Mom, you're starting again.
00:08:53 Let it be. Maybe, there's something I need to fix.
00:08:59 Oh, no. Maybe, you're fixing something else.
00:09:04 Son, you have a brain.
00:09:07 You have a future.
00:09:10 We're not asking your father to finish accounting so that he can teach someone else.
00:09:17 Don't talk like that to Kathryn.
00:09:21 Mom, I love someone.
00:09:26 Yes.
00:09:28 She won't make me happy if she doesn't love me, right?
00:09:34 That's what I'm telling you, son. Don't underestimate yourself.
00:09:43 Don't.
00:09:44 Lucy, what's wrong with you?
00:09:47 The person is already eating and you're still waiting for the food.
00:09:50 That's enough. Stop it.
00:09:53 You're eating too fast.
00:09:55 How can I not eat?
00:09:57 You're eating. You're still blabbering.
00:10:01 You're so annoying.
00:10:03 There.
00:10:05 You're the ones who ate what I prepared.
00:10:10 I'll go ahead.
00:10:13 Since Paul, Jerry's mother didn't accept his love for his lover.
00:10:21 Kathryn, what's wrong? I'm just asking.
00:10:27 That's what's making me nervous. Do I need to report every move of mine?
00:10:31 Can we talk?
00:10:37 We can talk about not losing, right?
00:10:41 What?
00:10:43 Jerry, stand up.
00:10:47 Jerry, we're ashamed to drink together.
00:10:50 That's why you're drunk.
00:10:52 Kathryn, wait. Don't chase me.
00:10:58 Kathryn, remember your words.
00:11:03 You're talking too much.
00:11:06 Jerry, stand up.
00:11:07 Don't mind them.
00:11:10 It's important for us to get along, right?
00:11:14 You're not the only one who's looking stupid.
00:11:16 Marlene met Caloy again.
00:11:20 Despite the memories about his true intentions.
00:11:25 Yes, he's that much important to me.
00:11:28 You're really the best, Marlene. I think I fell in love with you.
00:11:33 I told you, I'm not the type of person who will take care of you.
00:11:36 If we're together, I'll take care of you from head to toe.
00:11:42 Marlene, just drink.
00:11:44 Okay, I'll drink until 4 in the morning.
00:11:48 Because my parents are strict.
00:11:50 My parents.
00:11:51 Come here.
00:12:08 You, Caloy, you're so thick-faced.
00:12:11 Stay away from my friend.
00:12:13 Why? Why are you here? Why are you so noisy?
00:12:16 Marlene, don't go with them. They're just using you.
00:12:19 What are you talking about?
00:12:21 You know, I'm not lying to you.
00:12:26 Just don't ask me questions. Just don't go with them.
00:12:30 What are you talking about?
00:12:34 You know, I don't want to embarrass you.
00:12:38 But if you want, it's up to you.
00:12:42 You ask him.
00:12:44 I've told you so many times.
00:12:48 Tell him the truth.
00:12:50 Go ahead, ask him.
00:12:52 Ask him.
00:12:54 Caloy.
00:12:56 Marlene, I'm courting Cherry.
00:13:06 But it's okay with you, right? We're just friends.
00:13:10 You're all so stupid.
00:13:12 You're all so stupid.
00:13:16 Marlene, I want to tell him the truth.
00:13:18 But I don't want to hurt you.
00:13:20 Marlene.
00:13:24 You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid.
00:13:31 [sobs]
00:13:33 [sobs]
00:13:49 Oh, our family is almost gone.
00:13:53 That woman even had her hair cut.
00:13:58 Mom, it's good that I'm going to have a family.
00:14:02 Do you think that a decent woman will give me a child?
00:14:07 Do you call her a decent woman?
00:14:12 She's still here, and now, you're going to add another woman?
00:14:17 What's your problem?
00:14:23 That we're going to be rich?
00:14:27 It's been a long time since I promised to answer to the house.
00:14:33 You're shameless. You're blaming me for that?
00:14:36 You're blaming me for that?
00:14:38 You're shameless because of that woman?
00:14:40 That's why we're helping you?
00:14:42 That's why we're helping you?
00:14:44 You're shameless.
00:14:46 You're a good-for-nothing.
00:14:48 You're not a good person.
00:14:50 You're a good-for-nothing.
00:14:53 [coughs]
00:14:54 I'm sorry, but I'm going to leave my mom first.
00:15:07 Leave me with her. Cherry, leave me with her.
00:15:10 She's a bad woman.
00:15:12 She's a bad woman.
00:15:14 Don't worry.
00:15:21 I saved some money.
00:15:23 That's for when I finish my studies.
00:15:27 That's what we're going to use.
00:15:30 We're going to get a job.
00:15:32 We're going to get married.
00:15:36 You know, I'm excited to be a father.
00:15:42 I'm also excited to have a family.
00:15:48 [sobs]
00:16:13 Do you think I want to hurt you?
00:16:18 Do you think I don't want to see the man who really loves you?
00:16:25 You're so stubborn. You don't want to listen to me.
00:16:37 You're so stubborn.
00:16:38 You're even trying to be our best friend.
00:16:40 You're a bit stubborn because of that stubbornness.
00:16:43 Who said that?
00:16:47 I'm not going to let you hurt us because of that man.
00:16:58 Am I stupid?
00:17:06 I'm laughing because of the makeup you put on me.
00:17:08 But I'm not thinking about it.
00:17:11 You were walking out earlier.
00:17:20 You were walking out.
00:17:23 And then I caught you.
00:17:26 Is that it?
00:17:28 Of course, my pride was hurt.
00:17:35 Of course, I wanted to court a man.
00:17:38 I don't want to be a fool.
00:17:42 Yes, you're right.
00:17:47 Hey, you're Kathrin's father.
00:17:57 Oh, you're so pitiful.
00:18:00 Go home with your son.
00:18:02 Come inside.
00:18:04 Come inside.
00:18:05 Jerry, come inside.
00:18:08 Jerry, I'm looking for you.
00:18:10 Where's the child?
00:18:12 Hey!
00:18:14 This is a animal.
00:18:16 I didn't dream that you're going to marry my daughter.
00:18:18 Where's Kathrin?
00:18:20 She's not here.
00:18:22 She went with the man who's taking care of the child.
00:18:28 [sobbing]
00:18:30 We'll be fine tonight.
00:18:37 We'll get married.
00:18:43 We'll have a family.
00:18:47 Why did that happen, Mom?
00:18:57 You're rich now.
00:18:58 You're not meant for each other.
00:19:02 You just focus on your studies.
00:19:07 That woman.
00:19:09 She took all my savings.
00:19:15 Oh, my God.
00:19:18 Oh, my God.
00:19:23 I'm so broke now.
00:19:26 Oh, my God.
00:19:27 Oh, my God.
00:19:29 I'm so broke now.
00:19:31 [screams]
00:19:33 I told you.
00:19:35 What's wrong?
00:19:39 [sobs]
00:19:42 [music]
00:19:56 Huh?
00:20:02 It's me. It's me.
00:20:04 It's me.
00:20:06 Thank you.
00:20:08 You're welcome.
00:20:11 You're so lazy.
00:20:12 That's why the guys here are so many.
00:20:14 I'm not lazy.
00:20:17 I'm just busy.
00:20:20 And I'm a receptionist here.
00:20:24 I'm also a tutor in our outreach programs.
00:20:29 I don't have time to study.
00:20:33 Oh, my God.
00:20:35 That's not possible for me.
00:20:36 Why? Because we're like this?
00:20:38 We don't have a love life?
00:20:39 That's not possible for me.
00:20:40 You're so lazy.
00:20:41 You don't like that?
00:20:43 You don't have a competition here with the guys?
00:20:47 You're really...
00:20:49 You're so lame.
00:20:50 Marlene's court was so harsh on Richard.
00:20:58 Just like her, he also has cerebral palsy.
00:21:01 How's my sweetheart?
00:21:05 Huh?
00:21:08 Why did you wear the suit I gave you?
00:21:11 Huh?
00:21:13 You're wearing a suit now?
00:21:15 I didn't give you a break.
00:21:18 Really?
00:21:21 Okay.
00:21:24 I'll tell the people I gave you that it's hard.
00:21:29 You'll get something.
00:21:32 He's so arrogant.
00:21:37 It's like there are guys who are always courting you.
00:21:40 Just like me, I like you.
00:21:45 Hey, Richard.
00:21:48 Leave me alone.
00:21:50 You're not helping me.
00:21:52 Are you scared?
00:21:56 I don't have time for long-term courtship.
00:22:01 We're the same.
00:22:05 You don't have a chance to court me.
00:22:08 And I don't care about you.
00:22:11 And for your information,
00:22:13 I'm not looking for a boyfriend.
00:22:16 If you want, you can be my girlfriend.
00:22:19 Jerry worked at the Philippine Cerebral Palsy Institute
00:22:32 or PCPI to save money and finish his studies.
00:22:37 He didn't know that his fate would change in this job.
00:22:42 There.
00:22:43 You're the one who's helping me.
00:22:48 And you're the one who's angry.
00:22:50 Miss,
00:22:55 you're the receptionist here, right?
00:22:58 Yes, why?
00:23:01 How did you know?
00:23:02 Because,
00:23:04 what I was asked,
00:23:06 the receptionist here is very strict.
00:23:10 So, it's obvious that you're the one, right?
00:23:13 Richard!
00:23:15 Jerry and Marlene went to the Philippine Cerebral Palsy Institute or PCPI.
00:23:23 Jerry worked there as an accountant
00:23:26 and Marlene as a secretary and receptionist.
00:23:30 Their first meeting wasn't good,
00:23:32 but they didn't know that they're the ones who are suitable for each other.
00:23:39 You know, Marlene, our new accountant is really handsome.
00:23:42 What a waste.
00:23:44 Oh, my. You know, I'm telling you,
00:23:47 even you, your garter will be cut.
00:23:49 Don't you have other thoughts other than men?
00:23:55 Oh, my God. What else should I think?
00:23:59 And you know,
00:24:00 I'm embarrassed. You should've seen him one day.
00:24:03 You should've told me that you're the one for each other.
00:24:06 Anyway, when I meet him,
00:24:10 I'll ask you,
00:24:12 "If you see a man who's wearing a bangle,
00:24:17 can I just kiss you?"
00:24:20 You're so...
00:24:22 Oh, my God.
00:24:23 Miss, hold the pillow.
00:24:43 Hold the pillow.
00:24:45 No!
00:24:46 No!
00:24:49 No!
00:24:59 No!
00:25:00 I didn't know that Trini had a seizure
00:25:19 because I don't have one.
00:25:22 You're lucky if you don't have a seizure.
00:25:27 Am I still lucky in this situation?
00:25:30 Thank you.
00:25:34 I'm Marlene,
00:25:38 the receptionist here.
00:25:40 But you know that...
00:25:43 It's nothing.
00:25:45 At least I know that you can accept help.
00:25:50 I'm Jerry,
00:25:56 his new accountant.
00:25:57 Marlene, you don't fit in here.
00:26:09 You're smart and you have a personality.
00:26:12 That's why you shouldn't be locked up in this place.
00:26:15 I'm happy here, Jerry.
00:26:19 And it's useful.
00:26:22 It's not heavy.
00:26:25 But it's just work.
00:26:26 We can't go out.
00:26:28 Or maybe you're planning to get married.
00:26:32 What's wrong with that?
00:26:35 I told myself that when I turn 25,
00:26:42 I'll get a chance to get married.
00:26:44 Stop that kind of joke.
00:26:48 It's not nice.
00:26:52 Why? It's not bad.
00:26:55 I even told my mom about it.
00:26:58 Stop that.
00:27:00 What if you meet someone here?
00:27:02 You'll be rich and you'll be locked up here.
00:27:05 That's not true.
00:27:16 I promise.
00:27:19 Jerry, I'm going to hire Katrina.
00:27:25 Marlene, have you thought about my offer?
00:27:35 What offer?
00:27:38 My poor son.
00:27:43 He's so lazy to study because of work.
00:27:47 He's so lazy to study.
00:27:48 If I don't change my bed, he won't change his bed.
00:27:54 I'll change my bed.
00:27:57 Please help me, son.
00:27:58 Your bed is so messy.
00:28:12 You didn't change it.
00:28:14 I'm sorry.
00:28:15 He's still in my mind.
00:28:30 [music]
00:28:50 Son,
00:28:51 he's not good to you.
00:28:59 He should be out of your heart.
00:29:03 Forget him.
00:29:06 But, why can't I forget him?
00:29:16 I don't have any other one to blame.
00:29:27 I dreamt that he'll take me seriously.
00:29:32 Forget him.
00:29:43 But,
00:29:47 I'm the one who's not in your place.
00:29:51 But,
00:29:55 I've learned that
00:30:00 people like me
00:30:07 shouldn't dream
00:30:13 of finding someone to love.
00:30:24 I'll accept that.
00:30:29 I know.
00:30:31 You're just saying that because you're still angry at what happened to you and Kathryn.
00:30:39 Don't rush.
00:30:41 You can't rush things, son.
00:30:47 One day, you'll find a woman who will truly make you happy.
00:30:56 Mom,
00:31:03 I don't want to see you get hurt because of me.
00:31:12 So, if I'm with you, don't expect anything from me.
00:31:41 [music]
00:31:44 Can you just leave me alone? I don't have a system.
00:31:51 Marlene, you just don't want to be taught.
00:31:55 You know, among all the women I've met, you're the one who's stubborn.
00:31:59 I just don't want to depend on others. Is that bad?
00:32:06 Oh, my.
00:32:07 Marlene,
00:32:12 I think it's hard for you to be my girlfriend.
00:32:17 That's why you're lucky with Katrina.
00:32:22 She's very obedient.
00:32:24 Wait, why do you keep challenging Katrina whenever we talk?
00:32:32 Are you the one who's challenging her?
00:32:36 Are you two together?
00:32:38 No, we're just going out but we don't have a commitment.
00:32:47 I don't want to be tied up.
00:32:50 Why?
00:32:52 Maybe, I don't want to depend on others.
00:33:01 Or maybe, I haven't seen the woman who will tie me up yet.
00:33:08 Maybe, you're just challenging me for something else.
00:33:13 Who am I challenging? Myself?
00:33:17 Why not?
00:33:26 You're so shy. Don't be shy.
00:33:30 Even though Jerry still has the same attitude with his ex-girlfriend,
00:33:35 the pain is slowly healing.
00:33:38 Since he met Marlene.
00:33:41 I think he's a very serious guy.
00:33:44 You're so picky.
00:33:47 I'm just happy, right?
00:33:52 You're so happy?
00:33:53 You know what, Marlene?
00:33:58 You're different from the other girls in the institute.
00:34:05 I'm really shy with people.
00:34:14 But you?
00:34:19 You're not shy, it's like everyone is okay with you.
00:34:22 You're really different.
00:34:29 Maybe, you're falling for me.
00:34:31 Okay, you're really mean.
00:34:35 I think you're really falling for me.
00:34:38 You're so silly.
00:34:42 [Music]
00:34:54 They started dating, until they fell in love.
00:34:58 Jerry and Marlene didn't realize that they're falling for each other.
00:35:03 Something that they hid from their PCPI colleagues, especially Trina.
00:35:10 [Music]
00:35:13 Jerry, I'm pregnant.
00:35:18 [Music]
00:35:25 Don't worry, I won't force you.
00:35:34 And I won't force you to marry me.
00:35:41 [Music]
00:36:02 Why are you sad?
00:36:04 I'm not sad, I'm just scared.
00:36:12 Marlene, you can't be alone.
00:36:21 I'm here, and your family is here.
00:36:29 I'm not scared.
00:36:34 I think I love Jerry.
00:36:41 What's wrong with that? He's the father that will be your child.
00:36:48 I don't know what he feels for me.
00:36:57 Because we don't talk about what's happening to us.
00:37:03 What about the child I'm carrying?
00:37:09 Everything is in the air.
00:37:14 I'm just sure that he still loves his father, Nobe.
00:37:22 Even if he hurts me so much, I will not answer him.
00:37:32 Why don't you ask him?
00:37:36 Maybe he can't answer me.
00:37:46 Because we are still keeping our secret until now.
00:37:52 I don't know if he's hiding something from me or he's just shy.
00:38:01 That's why you want him to know so that he won't hurt you.
00:38:11 Hey, Marlene, where's the Marlene I know?
00:38:17 She's crying again.
00:38:27 I'm not the one who should be crying for him.
00:38:37 Jerry, is this how it feels to fall in love with someone you know?
00:38:42 You'll accept it no matter what they say.
00:38:47 Jerry loves Marlene, but it won't last long.
00:39:03 Their relationship will be revealed to everyone.
00:39:07 Hey, girl.
00:39:09 Trina, let's talk.
00:39:12 What are you doing?
00:39:14 Are you challenging Jerry?
00:39:17 And you're already rejecting him.
00:39:19 Trina, I was going to tell you but...
00:39:22 You're so heartless.
00:39:24 Do you want me to explain?
00:39:26 You know that I'm not doing anything wrong.
00:39:31 You're so heartless.
00:39:33 You're so heartless.
00:39:39 Stop it.
00:39:40 What happened?
00:39:41 Trina?
00:39:42 Tell me.
00:39:45 What did you see in that woman?
00:39:47 You're mistaken.
00:39:51 She didn't steal me from you.
00:39:53 I didn't plan what happened.
00:40:00 I'm sorry.
00:40:01 I'm going to ask for forgiveness.
00:40:04 I'm going to ask for forgiveness.
00:40:07 Trina, Marlene is beautiful.
00:40:14 You're so heartless.
00:40:17 Why? Do you love her?
00:40:20 She's my daughter.
00:40:24 I'm ready to marry Marlene.
00:40:29 [music]
00:40:31 Marlene didn't expect Jerry to laugh at her.
00:40:40 But Marlene was more surprised by her parents' acceptance of this news.
00:40:45 I admit that I was shocked when Marlene's mom told me about this.
00:40:54 But if the kids are not ready, let's not force them.
00:40:59 And we're not forcing them to get married.
00:41:03 But it doesn't mean that we're not going to accept Marlene as our granddaughter.
00:41:12 Mr. Manlangit,
00:41:19 I can't give Marlene the respect that she deserves.
00:41:28 But I will defend my mother.
00:41:37 I will do my best.
00:41:43 By the power vested in me, by the laws of this country,
00:41:48 I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:41:50 [music]
00:41:53 In May 2000, Marlene and Jerry got married.
00:42:11 [music]
00:42:15 [music]
00:42:17 Marlene has long dreamt of having her own family.
00:42:31 But in Jerry's case, he found a man who could truly make her happy.
00:42:40 [music]
00:42:44 [music]
00:42:46 [music]
00:43:15 I'll take care of your things here.
00:43:18 Get your bag from downstairs.
00:43:21 Okay.
00:43:40 Marlene doubted Jerry's love for her again after seeing the picture of his ex-girlfriend.
00:43:48 Marlene did not mention this to her husband, but her carelessness became noticeable.
00:43:55 Marlene, what's wrong? You're making fun of us.
00:44:00 Why? Is it funny for me to show how much I love my husband?
00:44:08 Don't do that in front of so many people.
00:44:10 I'm not like you. I'm shy.
00:44:13 Maybe if it's Katrina, you won't be shy.
00:44:21 What's wrong with you?
00:44:25 When we were husband and wife, you were still jealous.
00:44:29 What will you do when Katrina comes?
00:44:36 Didn't you hear what I said? I already have a husband.
00:44:40 So, let's not talk about that.
00:44:44 Do you love me?
00:44:49 Even if it's just a little, how can you be jealous of Katrina?
00:44:54 Do you still want me to marry you?
00:45:02 Why? Do you have a debt to that?
00:45:06 Do you know what I'm praying for?
00:45:13 That even sometimes, you show me how much you love me.
00:45:21 Even if it's just a little,
00:45:29 even if it's just a little,
00:45:32 I'm ready.
00:45:38 Even if you deny me,
00:45:41 I'm ready to believe.
00:45:45 Because I really want you to believe that you love me.
00:45:58 I love you.
00:46:00 I love you.
00:46:03 I love you.
00:46:05 I love you.
00:46:07 I love you.
00:46:12 I love you.
00:46:14 I love you.
00:46:16 [sobbing]
00:46:44 One day, Marlene just woke up.
00:46:47 Her whole body couldn't move.
00:46:50 It was a big problem for the baby she was carrying.
00:46:55 Marlene?
00:47:03 Marlene, what happened to you?
00:47:08 I was really happy.
00:47:10 I was with you.
00:47:15 Why? What happened?
00:47:21 Marlene, what happened?
00:47:24 I don't know.
00:47:27 Marlene?
00:47:31 [sobbing]
00:47:33 Marlene became paralyzed.
00:47:59 She had to rely on Jerry for everything she did.
00:48:03 Here.
00:48:06 After you eat,
00:48:09 I'll bathe you.
00:48:12 Even though Jerry's responsibilities were added,
00:48:15 sometimes, Marlene didn't hear the complaint from her husband.
00:48:20 And because of this,
00:48:22 even though Jerry didn't force the words he was waiting for,
00:48:27 Marlene proved that she was really in love with the man she married.
00:48:32 After the doctors examined her,
00:48:36 they found out that Marlene was lacking in vitamin B.
00:48:39 That's why she was suddenly paralyzed.
00:48:41 Marlene's condition was easily treated
00:48:45 and her life returned to normal.
00:48:49 But Marlene has a new reason to not be put in the hospital.
00:48:54 Marlene?
00:48:57 Why are you still awake?
00:48:59 You know,
00:49:03 Baby is not good for you.
00:49:06 Aren't you afraid?
00:49:15 Maybe,
00:49:25 when the baby is born,
00:49:28 we'll be like each other.
00:49:32 I don't want him
00:49:40 to be like me.
00:49:45 I want him
00:49:52 to be like the others.
00:49:54 I don't want him to be useless.
00:50:04 I want him to be playful.
00:50:11 I don't want him to be like me.
00:50:17 Playful?
00:50:18 Not the one who's always laughing?
00:50:25 Jerry,
00:50:29 what if our baby has a cip?
00:50:41 [sobs]
00:50:42 Whatever happens to our baby,
00:50:59 we'll love him.
00:51:09 What if he's going to be the one to take care of our baby?
00:51:16 He's not going to make us useless, right?
00:51:22 You can still dance, right?

00:52:34 Di na matitis pag-iirot ng titis
00:52:46 Sana'y mataramad na pag-iiri
00:52:55 I'm sorry
00:52:57 Marlene, don't worry. Let it be. Go to sleep.
00:53:06 I'm going to the hospital
00:53:12 Why? You can't move?
00:53:19 I'll call the doctor
00:53:23 I'm going to have a baby
00:53:28 Huh?
00:53:30 Call another anesthesiologist
00:53:32 I need three in the operating room
00:53:34 I'm sorry
00:53:36 I'm busy
00:53:38 Call your dad
00:53:40 I'm sorry
00:53:42 Marlene, I'm just here
00:53:44 I'm just here
00:53:49 Dad?
00:53:51 Dad?
00:53:53 God, please don't abandon your wife
00:53:57 I'm begging you
00:54:15 I hope you won't abandon my child
00:54:21 If you're not begging, I hope our baby will be normal
00:54:41 That's what my wife wants
00:54:45 Marlene wants our baby to be normal
00:54:55 I promise
00:55:05 From now on, I will show my wife how lucky I am
00:55:33 That she chose me
00:55:35 God, please don't abandon my wife
00:55:48 Please don't abandon my child
00:56:00 Don't abandon them
00:56:03 Take care of them
00:56:08 Sir, I'll call the doctor
00:56:25 [Music]
00:56:48 Congratulations Mr. Mayano
00:56:50 Your baby is a boy
00:56:52 Dad, you don't look happy
00:56:56 How's the baby? Is it normal?
00:57:00 The baby is normal
00:57:02 You don't need to worry Mr. Mayano
00:57:04 Your baby is normal and very healthy
00:57:07 Thank you God
00:57:09 Amen, the baby is normal
00:57:15 Three years have passed since Marlene and Jerry went through the most difficult time in their life
00:57:22 And this is the birth of their first child
00:57:26 They were easily overcome by the fear of knowing that their baby is normal and healthy
00:57:33 Now, they are an example of a happy family
00:57:36 Marlene stopped working
00:57:39 While Jerry is still a part of an organization that helps the poor
00:57:46 You've been married for four years Jerry and Marlene
00:57:50 Is there a difference at first Jerry?
00:57:53 At first, we had a period of adjustment
00:57:57 At first, I was a bit shy when we were together
00:58:04 But now, we are used to each other
00:58:10 What did you see in her?
00:58:13 What made you fall in love with her?
00:58:15 I saw almost everything that was opposite of what I saw in my first girlfriend
00:58:20 While Marlene, you were very sure
00:58:24 She loves me so much that she calls me everyday on my cellphone
00:58:29 She asks me if I'm eating
00:58:31 What do you want to be?
00:58:34 I want to be a teacher
00:58:39 You want to be a teacher?
00:58:41 Yes, I want to be a teacher
00:58:42 What degree do you want to have?
00:58:44 Like her father, an accountant
00:58:46 Do you want to be an accountant?
00:58:48 Yes, I want to be an accountant, an engineer
00:58:52 Engineer
00:58:53 We are thankful to you that you allowed us to meet
00:58:58 And you told us your love story
00:59:01 Not only your love story, but also the success of two people like you
00:59:05 Even though there are differences, you were able to love each other
00:59:10 Thank you so much
00:59:12 I am thankful to all the staff of "Pakailanman"
00:59:15 Especially to you, Tita Mel, thank you so much
00:59:20 And to GMA7 Kapuso
00:59:22 Whether there is a chance or not
00:59:25 The story of Marlene and Jerry will serve as an example for us
00:59:30 Both of them were able to overcome different trials in their lives
00:59:34 Despite their condition
00:59:36 Even though they still have fears
00:59:39 There are still many reasons for them to overcome the difficulties in life
00:59:45 And to love each other
00:59:47 I am Mel Tiangco
00:59:52 And this is the story of each one of us
00:59:54 Now, tomorrow, and forever
00:59:58 Forever, it will not change
01:00:06 What my heart is calling
01:00:13 Forever, forever
01:00:24 [Music]
01:00:30 In all that you need
01:00:34 I am here
01:00:37 Ready to go to your heart
01:00:46 Forever, we will not be apart
