00:03 Many have seen a delivery rider
00:08 who flexed his son to finish his cum laude.
00:15 This food delivery rider,
00:17 because his son was encouraged to finish his cum laude,
00:22 the graduation photo of his son,
00:25 he not only attached it to his bicycle,
00:28 he also made a quintas.
00:31 He showed the whole world how proud he is.
00:33 I saw his hard work.
00:35 I passed him,
00:37 and when we got to the stoplight,
00:39 that's when I had a moment to catch him.
00:41 After a week of work,
00:43 I saw this.
00:44 It's proud to be a parent who fights every day.
00:47 This is where the rider lives.
00:52 The picture of his son, Sofia,
00:55 will be printed on the wall
00:58 and will finish the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
01:03 major in Financial Management.
01:06 I thought of a way to shout to people
01:10 that my son will finish college
01:12 and that he will have a bonus of cum laude.
01:14 I will print the graduation picture of my son.
01:17 Elmer really planned to have his son's Tarpoli made,
01:22 but because it will cost almost P800,
01:25 he thought of another way.
01:28 I saw his picture on his cell phone.
01:30 I printed two pieces,
01:32 one is the size of a band paper.
01:33 I had it laminated for P95
01:35 on one piece of band paper picture.
01:38 Sofia's laminated graduation photo
01:42 was also attached to his quintas.
01:46 While he put the picture in a plastic envelope,
01:51 the picture was attached to the compartment of his bicycle.
01:54 I was embarrassed at first.
01:57 I was just stopping him.
01:58 I thought he wouldn't do it.
02:00 I was surprised that he was still insisting.
02:02 I was happy, ma'am.
02:03 I made my father happy.
02:05 Elmer was a former OFW in Saudi Arabia,
02:09 but in 2006,
02:11 he was forced to return to the Philippines
02:14 to take care of his wife, Sonia,
02:17 who was diagnosed with cancer in the womb.
02:21 After two years,
02:23 Sonia died.
02:25 Since they were born,
02:28 my mother adopted my daughter and son.
02:32 I left home every day to find a job.
02:35 Elmer became a food delivery rider.
02:40 Every day, he would travel for almost two hours
02:46 to Ortigas,
02:48 where he would wait for orders.
02:51 It's hard to deliver food.
03:14 It's very hot when it rains.
03:16 You're really wet.
03:18 There are also times when,
03:21 instead of making money,
03:23 he would get a bonus
03:24 whenever he was victimized by fake booking.
03:27 I didn't earn anything because of the scam.
03:31 It hurts inside because I was riding a bicycle.
03:34 My whole body was literally covered in sweat and blood.
03:37 Every day, he earns 500 to 1,200 pesos.
03:43 If I had finished my 4-year or 5-year course,
03:47 I would have been able to get a job
03:49 and a higher position,
03:51 a better salary.
03:52 To help his father,
03:54 Sofia became a working student.
03:57 I became a cashier in grocery stores.
04:00 I was thinking,
04:01 "Why didn't we just get born rich?"
04:04 But that's how life is.
04:06 Along the way, it will change
04:08 as long as you work hard and trust yourself.
04:11 I'm proud of you.
04:13 It's good that their sacrifices
04:16 are slowly bearing fruit.
04:18 Aside from graduating from the mechanical engineering course,
04:22 Elmer's eldest son, Benji,
04:25 will also graduate soon.
04:27 His youngest son, Sofia,
04:29 is still a student.
04:31 Papa's burden in education is light.
04:37 I don't have enough words to describe the happiness I feel.
04:41 I'm bouncing in the air.
04:43 Meanwhile, Elmer was accompanied by our team
04:47 by a specialist.
04:48 I'm not comfortable with sneezing.
04:51 There are many reasons why people sneeze.
04:54 Infections in the nose can cause what we call prostatitis.
04:58 So I had laboratories checked.
05:02 The hospital is generally willing to help.
05:06 Last year, the Antipolo government started
05:09 to give cash incentives to all Antipolo residents
05:12 who are graduating with Latin honors.
05:15 We're giving him 5,000 pesos.
05:18 Good job!
05:20 On his way home,
05:22 another surprise awaits him.
05:24 We watched your video, sir.
05:26 A brand new e-bike
05:29 that he can use at work.
05:31 Our hearts are really old.
05:34 He's the perfect candidate to give an e-bike.
05:37 Thank you very much, ma'am.
05:39 Thank you very big.
05:40 This is a big help.
05:42 Education in our country should be accessible
05:49 not only for the rich but also for the poor.
05:52 We need to give a solution to poverty.
05:56 On the recognition day of Sofia,
06:01 he gave his medal to his father, Elmer.
06:05 My father is my one and only hero.
06:10 He's my inspiration for everything.
06:12 I will do my best in my studies.
06:14 I'm thankful to my future wife.
06:18 I'm really thankful.
06:20 Because I have a lot of complaints about my wife.
06:25 She passed away early.
06:30 What I do is what a father usually does.
06:34 I shouldn't be credited.
06:36 My daughter is really not mine.
06:40 Superman is also crying.
06:44 P.E.S.T.D.
06:52 Please call our directors.
06:53 And this is the Wednesday,
06:55 the most awaited march of Sofia.
07:00 Malanaw Sofia E.
07:02 Malanaw Sofia E.
07:05 Long live!
07:07 Elmer was so happy.
07:09 It's so happy.
07:12 It's hard to explain the happiness.
07:14 After graduation, we will just go home.
07:17 I will buy two chickens
07:19 to celebrate the good and happy graduation.
07:23 Those who don't know how to be a father
07:26 are waiting for their surprise.
07:28 Because we have already answered their graduation celebration lunch.
07:35 Thank you.
07:51 I was thinking about what we should prepare.
07:55 I was thinking about buying pancit.
07:59 Even on my 18th birthday,
08:02 I didn't prepare anything.
08:05 I know that my father won't do this.
08:08 It's so happy.
08:11 You are not just a father to us.
08:15 You also stand as our mother.
08:17 That's why I want to thank you for your hard work and sacrifices.
08:22 Words are not enough to express how grateful I am to call you my father.
08:27 But I will proudly say, "Thank you, Papa."
08:30 Thank you.
08:31 Sofia, you have a dream.
08:40 You have a big dream that you can achieve.
08:43 Before I stop my journey,
08:45 I want you to be successful and strong.
08:48 I hope that every graduation is a start.
08:54 So that more of our countrymen can achieve
09:01 and continue to fight for their lives.
09:08 Thank you so much, Kapuso.
