TVTranscript
00:00 Legal separation, divorce, annulment.
00:05 It is not new for us to hear these words
00:09 in a time when unhappy marriages are becoming commonplace.
00:15 But in our culture, where the whole family is valued,
00:21 a broken family is still heavily burdened,
00:25 especially for women who are expected to be the caretakers of their families.
00:31 In the name of the power vested in me by the law of the Republic of the Philippines,
00:41 I proclaim and declare you married.
00:47 Congratulations.
00:49 You may now kiss your bride.
00:54 Congratulations.
00:56 You, get me a glass. I'm shy.
01:04 You didn't go with your siblings because you know your father might get angry.
01:09 You know how hard it is to be with Sunny.
01:13 Mommy, I don't want to hurt you.
01:16 And I'm not easy to please.
01:20 But I love Sunny. I love her as much as you love your father.
01:25 We can't do anything. You're going to have a baby.
01:29 Just prove to your father that you made the right choice.
01:33 Be a good wife. Be a good mother.
01:37 It's in your hands to take care of your family.
01:42 And because you're a woman,
01:44 you should be ready to understand and forgive.
01:49 I'm ready, Mommy.
01:51 And I don't think Sunny will have a problem with me.
01:54 She loves me too.
01:55 I'll bring this outside.
01:58 I'll serve the food here.
02:00 Yes.
02:01 Here you go.
02:08 Thank you.
02:09 [Music]
02:15 [Music]
02:41 You're singing me again. I'm in love with you again.
02:45 Aren't you regretting that you still chose me?
02:51 That even your family is like me.
02:56 Now you're pregnant.
02:58 You need to continue to stop studying.
03:02 Me? Regret? No, no.
03:09 Don't worry, babe.
03:11 I promise that I'll finish my studies.
03:15 I'll graduate so that our child will have a bright future.
03:21 And I'll make a promise to your family, especially to your parents,
03:26 that I can give you a life and I can protect you.
03:34 Dear Charo, Sunny has been so loving and caring to me.
03:39 We were even dating back then.
03:42 That's why I made my parents a wedding gift for her.
03:46 When we got married, I was full of hope for our happy and well-off family.
03:54 I ran our own errands while Sunny continued her studies.
04:02 We've been together for a long time.
04:04 Let's eat.
04:06 They said you've been here for a long time and you're not going to go to school.
04:11 They said you're in the university for a few months. Is that true?
04:18 Babe, what happened?
04:29 You said you'll do everything to graduate.
04:32 We haven't talked about that yet.
04:34 That's why I'm doing my best to run my errands so that you can study.
04:38 What are you trying to say?
04:43 What are you saying?
04:45 Are you trying to make me mad?
04:48 What are you saying?
04:50 What are you saying?
04:52 You're hurting me.
04:57 You think you're the one who can talk?
04:59 The truth is, my sister didn't give me any money.
05:04 That's what you think.
05:06 I'm so proud of you.
05:08 Go home alone.
05:11 Babe.
05:25 Babe.
05:26 I'm sorry about last night.
05:34 Forgive me.
05:36 Babe, you know that I love you so much, right?
05:45 I can't let you two be together.
05:49 I promise.
05:54 I won't do that again.
05:55 I won't drink too much.
05:58 I almost forgot.
06:06 I'm going to stop my course.
06:09 My professors are always nagging me.
06:12 That's why I decided that I won't continue my studies.
06:16 You're going to stop?
06:22 What are you going to do?
06:23 I'll take care of our rice.
06:25 And you, you're going to rest.
06:28 So that our baby can rest too.
06:30 And then, when you're pregnant,
06:34 when you're strong,
06:38 you'll do whatever you want.
06:40 You'll study again.
06:42 Then, what are you going to do?
06:44 You're being nosy again.
06:47 Stop being nosy.
06:50 Our baby is pitiful.
06:51 When she's out, she's also nosy.
06:53 Okay, okay.
06:55 Stop it.
06:57 Okay, okay.
06:59 I'm sorry.
07:01 Stop it.
07:03 I'm sorry.
07:05 Okay, okay.
07:09 I believe that the alcohol
07:13 was the reason why Sani Charo got sick.
07:17 I forgave her and I forced her to forget what happened.
07:20 How much is the price?
07:23 It's just 15 pesos.
07:25 Before, it was 30 pesos.
07:27 It's expensive.
07:29 Let's do it like this.
07:31 Let's do it 9.50.
07:33 I'm already rich.
07:35 I'll give you the change.
07:37 You're joking.
07:39 I'm already rich.
07:41 I'll come back when I'm sexy.
07:43 I'm already rich.
07:46 Here, I brought money.
07:48 Here.
07:50 I'll give you all of this.
07:52 It's for that guitar.
07:54 Here.
07:57 Here, take it.
07:59 You still have a guitar, right?
08:05 When will you buy another one?
08:08 I was sold it cheaply, babe.
08:12 And it's old.
08:15 What?
08:16 Babe, it's your fault.
08:19 You should've waited for our baby to be born.
08:21 We'll save it for my child.
08:25 You told me that you applied for charity in the hospital.
08:30 So that we won't have to pay for your child, right?
08:34 Yes, yes.
08:36 But there's no guarantee.
08:38 You spent the money already.
08:40 What if I don't get approved in the application?
08:44 You're not going to get money for my child.
08:45 Oh my God, babe.
08:47 I hope you're thinking about it.
08:49 Thinking about it?
08:51 What's your problem?
08:53 You're not going to get approved.
08:55 What's your problem?
08:57 If you don't stop, I'll send you to the precinct.
09:00 You're crazy.
09:02 Michelle, my child.
09:13 Why are you still here?
09:14 Have you been here for a while?
09:16 My child, what happened?
09:21 Did you fight with Sunny?
09:23 Because sometimes I don't know her.
09:32 I don't know her anymore.
09:35 I'm so lonely.
09:40 My child, it's normal for a married couple to have misunderstandings.
09:45 Of course, you're different from other people.
09:48 You have different tastes and beliefs.
09:51 We, women, should be the ones to apologize.
09:55 Pride is drowning.
09:58 That's our duty.
10:00 To support and understand our spouses.
10:03 But Mommy, Sunny...
10:06 Joyce.
10:08 [door opens]
10:09 The food is ready.
10:17 Please come inside.
10:19 I couldn't tell Mommy Charo the truth.
10:28 She's right.
10:30 My child needs a whole family.
10:33 That's why I came back to my husband.
10:35 My child.
10:36 Sunny, you shouldn't have gone to that concert.
10:46 I can't let that happen because it's my favorite band.
10:49 They have a gig today.
10:51 Oh, no.
10:53 I feel bad.
10:55 Hey, wait.
10:58 Sunny, wait.
11:00 Go ahead.
11:04 Sunny, wait.
11:05 Sunny!
11:07 My child, get the bag from upstairs.
11:11 My child, call Ms. Pananggali.
11:14 Miga, help.
11:16 My neighbors!
11:19 You'll see what happens when you move with Sholo.
11:33 I'm in the hospital.
11:34 I have to take care of my little children while my son is being born.
11:42 I haven't seen Sunny and Anino.
11:45 You're pregnant.
11:48 No.
11:52 Why are you telling me this?
11:54 You won't understand, Kevin.
11:58 I won't understand.
12:02 I won't understand.
12:03 I was shocked to find out the truth.
12:09 My husband, Charo, doesn't love me anymore.
12:13 But even though he's sick, I still didn't leave him.
12:17 I thought about the well-being of my children.
12:21 I still want them to grow up in a whole family.
12:24 There's more, okay?
12:26 You can eat more.
12:28 What kind of cake is that?
12:31 I have a cake.
12:32 It's mine.
12:34 My neighbors gave it to me.
12:36 It's my birthday.
12:38 Oh, it's your birthday.
12:43 What's your problem?
12:51 You're having a problem again?
12:53 You want to try me?
12:59 You're doing this to my daughter?
13:00 You're hurting my daughter.
13:02 You're hurting my daughter.
13:04 You're hurting my daughter.
13:06 You're hurting my daughter.
13:09 Get away.
13:11 Get away.
13:13 Stop hurting my daughter.
13:15 Stop fighting.
13:17 You've lost all your pain.
13:22 All your pain is making me feel like a fool.
13:27 You've been with me for too long.
13:29 Because I thought,
13:31 I thought that if you're not a good wife,
13:34 you have hope to be a good father.
13:37 I was wrong, that's why you left.
13:42 Get away.
13:44 Because I was wrong.
13:46 Get away.
13:51 Stop hurting my children.
13:52 Get away.
13:54 Get away.
13:55 Shh.
14:05 Shh.
14:06 Shh.
14:09 Shh.
14:10 If you only listened to us,
14:13 your life wouldn't have been like this.
14:15 Everything that happened to you,
14:17 it's your fault.
14:18 Bart.
14:20 If you're thinking,
14:22 you should've left him a long time ago.
14:24 Did you wait for him to have three children?
14:26 What did you do to my grandchildren?
14:28 I'll find a job in Manila.
14:30 I'm sure I'll earn a lot more there.
14:33 Don't worry,
14:35 because we won't be here for long.
14:37 We won't be burdened by you.
14:41 We'll stay there.
14:43 My child,
14:46 if you live there,
14:48 who will take care of my grandchildren?
14:51 While you're working,
14:52 just stay here, okay?
14:54 I'll help you take care of them here.
14:57 I know that I'm the only one
15:02 who can depend on my children, Charo.
15:04 That's why I want to give them
15:07 a good future.
15:09 I found a job in Manila
15:12 while Mommy promised
15:14 to take care of them.
15:16 I'm staying in the apartment
15:18 of my two siblings
15:20 who also worked in Manila.
15:22 It hurts me
15:24 to leave my children.
15:26 But I endured it
15:28 so that I can support them.
15:30 Charo.
15:32 Andre.
15:33 It's break time, let's eat.
15:34 Let's eat.
15:36 I'm not hungry anymore.
15:39 I'm saving.
15:41 Let's eat.
15:42 I'll give you a free meal.
15:44 You're so special.
15:46 You always reject Andre.
15:50 Can't you see that he has a crush on you?
15:52 It's break time.
15:55 Let's eat.
15:56 Come with us, Michelle.
15:59 You have a crush?
16:01 You know what, Andre?
16:04 It's hard for me to have a crush.
16:05 Because if you have a crush on me,
16:07 you also need to have a crush
16:09 on my three children.
16:10 So, you have a wife already?
16:15 Yes.
16:16 But we're separated.
16:17 So, the three children are with me.
16:19 Actually, that's why I'm saving.
16:21 Because it's my second birthday in a week.
16:23 And I want to buy him
16:25 a lot of birthday gifts.
16:29 Let's eat.
16:32 Let's eat.
16:46 So, bro.
16:47 Are you courting Michelle?
16:49 No, I'm not.
16:51 It's hard.
16:53 She has three kids.
16:54 That's so sad.
16:56 You'll be a dad soon.
16:59 That's not all.
17:00 If you're in a car,
17:01 it's like you're buying a second hand car.
17:03 It's your last chance.
17:05 But you can buy a brand new car, right?
17:07 Yes.
17:08 Wait.
17:10 You're overreacting.
17:11 You might forget that you're still a couple.
17:13 A couple?
17:15 I'm still a couple.
17:16 Wait.
17:17 What happened to her kids' father?
17:20 I don't know.
17:22 I didn't ask.
17:23 But Leia said
17:24 she's not even legally separated from her husband.
17:27 Oh, bro.
17:28 It's not just the kids.
17:29 It's not just the kids who are separated.
17:31 She has a husband.
17:32 But, bro.
17:33 Women like that
17:34 are hot.
17:36 They're easy to find.
17:37 Right?
17:38 Right?
17:39 Maybe it's not like that.
17:40 I only heard words.
17:43 But I was too young, Charo.
17:45 I was reminded by those words
17:48 that my life was a failure.
17:50 And until I'm not separated from my husband,
17:53 I can't really start over.
17:57 I can't really forget
18:00 everything that I've been through.
18:02 Agnes, do you know a lawyer?
18:06 My batchmate from high school.
18:11 I know he's a lawyer now.
18:13 Why?
18:14 I just need to ask.
18:18 I was planning to get married.
18:21 I want to erase my life
18:24 of having no husband.
18:26 Wait.
18:29 I just don't have my batchmate's number,
18:32 David.
18:33 But I think we're friends on Friendster.
18:36 There.
18:38 Oh, never mind.
18:39 I forgot his number.
18:41 But let me ask our batchmates.
18:44 Okay. Thank you.
18:46 Okay.
18:47 Thank you.
18:48 Hi.
18:54 My name is Michelle.
18:56 I need some advice regarding family law.
19:00 I'm married with three kids
19:02 and I'm looking into having my marriage annulled.
19:07 I need some advice on how to go about the process.
19:12 Here is my cell phone number.
19:16 Come, I made pancit.
19:28 I'll prepare it for you.
19:29 It's still hot.
19:31 You're just in time.
19:35 You'll have to use the computer after this.
19:37 I might have to pay for electricity.
19:42 You've been giving me little shares.
19:46 Happy birthday, son!
19:52 Did you get the gifts Mom sent you?
19:56 Yes, Mom.
19:57 There's a lot.
19:59 Play with it all the time.
20:02 You'll always remember me when you play with it.
20:05 I miss you, Mommy.
20:07 When are you coming home?
20:09 Son,
20:16 save up some money for me.
20:19 I don't want to go home.
20:22 Of course, Mommy wants me to be with you everyday at school.
20:28 I have a lot of birthday gifts for you.
20:32 Mommy will be working far away.
20:37 I love you all.
20:40 I love you all, my siblings.
20:43 I love you too, Mommy.
20:46 Good night, son.
20:50 Go to sleep.
20:51 Don't forget to pray.
20:53 Yes, Mommy.
20:55 I miss you so much.
20:58 I love you so much.
21:00 I love you too, son.
21:02 I love you.
21:03 I love you too, Mommy.
21:05 Hello?
21:27 Hello, is this Michelle?
21:30 Yes.
21:32 Hi, Attorney David Rojas here.
21:35 Attorney David, thank you so much for calling me back.
21:39 Actually, I just called to say I'm not in litigation anymore.
21:44 Meaning I don't appear in court.
21:47 I'm a corporate lawyer now, but if you want, I can refer you to my friend who handles annulment cases.
21:52 But, Attorney David, all I need right now is just a background regarding annulment.
21:59 Just so I'd have an idea. Maybe you can help me with that, sir.
22:03 Please?
22:05 Alright. I think I might have time tomorrow to discuss it with you.
22:11 We can meet at the coffee shop near our office tomorrow.
22:15 I'll text you the address.
22:17 Okay. Thank you so much, sir. Thank you very much.
22:20 One last thing.
22:22 My consultation with you, would there be a fee?
22:27 Don't worry. You can just treat me to a cup of coffee.
22:31 Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. I'll see you tomorrow then.
22:56 Michelle?
22:57 Attorney David Roques.
23:05 Oh, it's you. You're still young.
23:10 I'm sorry. I just delivered food to my aunt.
23:19 That's okay. Before we discuss, shall we order first?
23:25 Yes. Come on.
23:27 Later, sir. Later.
23:30 I'll have a tall Americano, please. How about you?
23:36 Me? Just the same.
23:41 Two tall Americanos, sir. Something to eat. We have sandwiches.
23:47 I think we still have to order food.
23:52 I'm sorry?
23:54 I'm sorry. Nothing. I'm just saying that I'm not going to eat. I'm really very full.
24:01 Okay. Okay. That's all?
24:05 200 pesos, sir.
24:06 200 pesos?
24:07 Yes.
24:08 Okay. Wait. Hang on.
24:09 I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, sir.
24:13 Here.
24:15 This?
24:20 I'm so sorry. I'm just a foreigner.
24:22 He's trying to steal my nose.
24:25 200 pesos, sir.
24:27 I'll just take this.
24:32 You're still in the eyes of the law, but you're still separated in proximity.
24:40 You're going to use your husband's last name and you can't get married to anyone else.
24:47 Here, you both agree that you were thinking right when you got married, but you just don't want to be together.
24:54 In the annulment, your marriage will lose its visa.
25:00 You can use your last name and you can also let your children use your last name if you want.
25:08 But I'll tell you one thing.
25:12 That's a long and difficult process because you still have a lot of things to prove to the court.
25:18 If you were 18 to 21 years old during that time and you don't have parental consent, you can use the grounds for annulment.
25:26 What a waste. I was already 22 years old then. I should have gotten married earlier.
25:34 But if either of you had mental illness or was psychologically incapacitated,
25:40 drunk or forced to get married or just had an affair, you can just get married.
25:48 That's it, Tony. We're sure to win because my husband really has a mental illness.
25:53 That's what you need to prove to the court. That's a long time.
25:56 But when you think of it, you can save more in the pocket and in time when it comes to legal separation.
26:04 Attorney, I'm really busy with the annulment.
26:07 But if you really want an annulment, you will need a lawyer to help you file your case.
26:14 I have a friend who handles annulment cases. You can join him.
26:19 But first, you will need to prepare these documents.
26:28 You will need to have your complaint affidavit, your witness affidavit, your police report and medical legal.
26:37 I immediately filed the documents that I needed, Charo.
26:42 I was full of hope that the time would come when my past would be revealed.
26:49 Attorney David accompanied me to his friend, the lawyer.
26:54 Before I got married, my husband said that it's easy to get married but it's hard to have children.
27:00 If you can't afford it, you can still file your annulment.
27:06 Attorney, I thought I was fine now.
27:09 You know, the feeling that you've been wandering for a long time,
27:12 the feeling that you're not complete, that you don't know yourself.
27:15 That's how I felt when we were together until now.
27:20 But I realized that I can't be like that now because I'm not complete for my children.
27:25 I thought that if I lose my visa to get married, I might get to know myself again.
27:31 Do you understand me? Or I'm not making sense to you?
27:34 I understand. Believe me.
27:40 Attorney, thank you so much for everything. Thank you so much.
27:47 I hope we'll have a chance to meet again. I hope you won't let me down.
27:50 Of course. Where are you going?
27:53 I'm going there.
27:55 I'm here. Okay. Bye.
27:58 Thank you. Thank you so much for coming.
28:00 Michelle, do you want to have a snack first?
28:06 Attorney, maybe next time. It's okay. You don't have to do that.
28:13 Just a moment.
28:16 Here you go.
28:17 Attorney, how much is the fee for the food? I haven't paid you yet.
28:22 Don't worry. I'm the one who's paying.
28:25 I also went to college there.
28:30 You also went to college there?
28:32 Econ major.
28:36 Really? I'm in literature.
28:38 I also have a friend who's a lit major. Job Navarro.
28:43 Job? He's your friend? He's my friend.
28:45 He's always being nice to me. He's crazy.
28:49 Attorney, thank you for helping me even though you don't know me.
28:57 Why are you helping me?
28:59 I don't know.
29:02 But you know, honestly,
29:08 I don't want to trust people who I just started to get along with.
29:13 But you know now, there are a lot of people who are lying, especially on the internet.
29:18 I saw your pictures on Friendster.
29:21 I saw your pictures with your children.
29:24 I told myself, I'll tell the truth.
29:28 I'll trust you.
29:30 I want to say, you're really right, Attorney.
29:35 I can make you my character reference.
29:38 You can, right?
29:40 Don't call me attorney.
29:42 David, just call me David.
29:45 Okay, David. I will call you David.
29:50 That wasn't the last time we saw each other,
29:56 we became friends, Charo.
29:59 I became careful that we're just that.
30:04 It's a pity that they're not there, right?
30:06 Yes, it suddenly got cancelled.
30:08 So I thought it was sudden, then Eric suddenly got a new guy.
30:11 Really?
30:13 It's okay, at least we're together, right?
30:14 Yes.
30:16 Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
30:33 Happy New Year!
30:35 Beautiful!
30:38 I know that my children are here, I'm sure they'll be happy.
30:42 Happy New Year, Michelle.
30:45 Happy New Year.
30:47 Happy New Year!
30:49 Happy New Year!
30:53 Happy New Year!
30:55 Happy New Year!
30:56 Michelle?
31:13 Michelle?
31:14 You're gaming, okay? Take care.
31:18 Hi.
31:21 Michelle, Michelle, wait a minute.
31:24 I'm sorry.
31:29 I'm sorry.
31:31 I'm sorry.
31:33 I'm sorry.
31:35 I'm sorry.
31:37 I'm sorry.
31:40 I'm sorry.
31:41 I'm falling in love with you.
31:46 Good morning, Michelle.
31:49 Good morning.
31:51 Do you feel something for me?
31:59 Do you know what you're saying?
32:08 You know my life, right?
32:10 I'm not like other women.
32:12 If you love me, David, you should love my three children.
32:16 I'm not like a coffee that you can customize.
32:20 No, I'm instant coffee.
32:22 Three in one, can you do that?
32:24 I can do that, Michelle.
32:26 For you.
32:29 You know, it's easy to say that, but it's not that easy.
32:32 I'm not looking for a relationship, David.
32:35 I don't want it anymore. I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't want it.
32:38 I just want to give my children a good life.
32:41 I don't want it anymore, okay?
32:42 Michelle, please.
32:44 I'm going to be late. Bye.
32:45 Michelle.
32:46 Go home. Go home, David.
32:47 David, we already talked, right?
32:55 Bye, Michelle.
32:58 Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.
33:00 What's wrong with you?
33:02 I told you to go home.
33:03 Go home.
33:04 Michelle, wait.
33:05 Michelle, I won't hurt you.
33:08 If that's what you're afraid of, I won't hurt you.
33:12 You know, that's great.
33:14 Because that's what my husband told me when we first started.
33:18 It's perfect.
33:19 But I'm not your husband.
33:21 And not all men are like him.
33:24 I don't know that.
33:25 I thought I chose the right man, but it's wrong.
33:29 It's wrong.
33:30 That's why you'll understand me if I don't trust myself when it comes to the men I like, right?
33:35 I just have one question.
33:37 Do you feel anything for me?
33:40 David, David, David.
33:44 Michelle, I understand.
33:46 I understand that you're afraid.
33:50 I'm afraid too.
33:52 I was hurt before.
33:58 For eight years, I loved my girlfriend only to find out that she's just trying to steal me.
34:06 She's trying to fool me.
34:07 After that, I felt like I'm the ugliest man in the world.
34:13 That only women will like me if they have something to do with me.
34:19 Michelle, after that, I'm afraid to love.
34:27 But then, I met you.
34:30 Because of you, I want to be brave again.
34:35 I want to believe that this time around, I will get it right.
34:43 That this time around, I will be happy with the woman I love.
34:51 [breathes heavily]
34:58 Michelle, please.
35:00 Be brave.
35:04 Don't worry.
35:19 Don't worry.
35:20 I won't bother you anymore.
35:24 I'm more than happy that I met you.
35:30 David, David, David, just a moment.
35:42 Just a moment, just a moment.
35:44 [breathes heavily]
35:45 You know, I just want an almanac.
35:50 Why did you come to me when there are so many lawyers in the Philippines?
35:58 I don't intentionally love David Charo.
36:08 If I ever close one of the doors of my life,
36:12 and if the door opens,
36:16 I still have fear and doubt in our relationship.
36:21 But at the same time, I still hope that my second chance to love will be better.
36:29 Hi, so nice to meet you.
36:32 So nice to meet you finally.
36:36 It's good that you came, right, Daddy?
36:38 So happy you made it.
36:40 Thank you. Happy birthday.
36:42 Oh, thank you, Mom.
36:43 So, David tells me that you're a good cook.
36:46 It depends on who tastes it.
36:50 Well, I trust my son's taste.
36:53 What are your favorite dishes?
36:56 Just simple ones.
36:58 Menudo, Pancit, Shanghai.
37:03 That's the favorite of the kids.
37:05 Kids?
37:06 Happy birthday.
37:07 Mom, it's Aunt Lily.
37:09 I'm so sorry, Michelle.
37:11 We'll get back to you later. I want to get to know more about you.
37:13 Okay, yes, me also. Okay, see you later.
37:15 Thank you.
37:16 Hello.
37:17 I told you that you'll get along with them.
37:19 David, don't you want them to know about my children?
37:25 Michelle, it's not like that.
37:29 We can find a good timing to tell them.
37:33 Not now.
37:34 You'll get to know them.
37:37 Don't worry. I'll tell them.
37:40 Let's go there.
37:44 Thank you.
38:01 Is that your boyfriend?
38:03 Yes.
38:12 Come on, sis.
38:13 Come on, bring him.
38:16 You only have three kids and you're already thinking of having a boyfriend?
38:19 Maybe what Dad said about you is right.
38:23 That's why you want to work here in Manila.
38:26 So you can be a good cook to the men.
38:30 Let's live in the same house.
38:32 You see, I'm working hard.
38:35 I spent my last savings for my children.
38:38 I'm doing this for you.
38:40 Whatever you say,
38:43 leave your children with Mommy.
38:46 So that it will be delicious here in Manila.
38:48 Sis, brother.
38:50 I don't have the right to say that because you don't know how I feel.
38:57 I'm not going to be with my children.
38:59 Leave here.
39:02 Be a burden to your boyfriend.
39:05 Not to me.
39:07 Sherry, get your sister's clothes.
39:11 Sherry, come on, hurry up.
39:14 Sherry, come on, hurry up.
39:15 Are you okay?
39:31 I'm fine.
39:33 I was hoping to call you because it's already late.
39:36 You can call me anytime.
39:39 I'll bring you to my place.
39:43 You can stay there tonight.
39:44 No, David.
39:46 Don't.
39:48 I'll be a burden to your parents.
39:49 Maybe I'll just stay with Partel or Kaya.
39:53 I can only stay with one person tonight.
39:55 Do you think I'll let you stay in that kind of place?
39:59 What if you're a bad person?
40:01 I insist that you stay with me tonight, please.
40:07 Let's just fix your moving problem tomorrow.
40:11 David.
40:12 David, have you told your parents?
40:22 Have you told them about my children,
40:25 that I'm not legally separated from my husband?
40:28 Not yet.
40:31 They need to know.
40:33 They need to understand who I am.
40:38 Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow.
40:42 But just please, come with me.
40:47 Let me take care of you.
40:50 I just want to talk to my children.
40:58 Son, just call them later.
41:01 Just call them later.
41:02 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
41:04 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
41:07 I know what you're doing there.
41:09 You're ashamed of yourself.
41:11 I won't let you talk to your children.
41:15 What will you teach my grandchildren?
41:18 But they are my children. I have the right to talk to them.
41:23 I have the right to talk to them.
41:51 I talked to Mr. Suarez the other day.
41:53 He said that you're handling his case.
41:55 Yes, definitely. It's going to be a challenge for me.
41:58 Michelle, why don't you tell us more about yourself?
42:02 David hasn't told us a lot about you.
42:06 Mom, like what I told you,
42:09 we're both from the University of Michelle.
42:12 We're also friends from college,
42:15 but somehow we didn't meet.
42:17 David,
42:20 I don't want your mom to know
42:22 about my family.
42:27 I have three children.
42:49 My husband and I are separated,
42:51 so I was looking for someone to help me with my annulment.
42:57 I called David.
43:00 I asked him for help.
43:02 These are my children.
43:06 These are my three children.
43:11 They're all good kids.
43:15 I love them very much.
43:17 [music]
43:18 Michelle,
43:37 I told you that I want an annulment.
43:41 I want to start over.
43:45 But I realized earlier that it's not true.
43:47 I want an annulment because
43:52 I'm ashamed of my past.
43:57 I'm ashamed because I'm ashamed of my parents.
44:03 I'm ashamed because I'm ashamed of my siblings.
44:09 And now you're ashamed of me.
44:14 [music]
44:15 Michelle, let me explain.
44:20 I shouldn't be ashamed.
44:25 I made a mistake
44:29 that I chose a man to be my husband,
44:32 but I did everything
44:34 to make us happy.
44:36 I endured all his pain
44:42 so I could give my children a whole family.
44:45 And now I'm doing everything,
44:49 everything, everything to give them a good life.
44:52 Even though they're far away from me,
44:56 I'm enduring it.
44:58 But I shouldn't be ashamed
45:01 because I did everything.
45:05 I'm doing it
45:09 because I'm ashamed.
45:10 Michelle, I'm so sorry.
45:14 David, you asked me to be brave,
45:18 but I'm not afraid to be in this relationship.
45:24 You are.
45:27 But I understand
45:30 that you can love many women.
45:37 The one who is not stubborn,
45:38 the one who is more suitable to your life and your family.
45:44 And I don't want to be a burden to you.
45:49 I don't want to feel that I'm a burden to anyone because that's not true.
46:05 I want you to be happy.
46:06 I love you.
46:07 I love you.
46:08 I love you.
46:09 I love you.
46:10 I love you.
46:11 I love you.
46:12 I love you.
46:13 I love you.
46:14 I love you.
46:15 I love you.
46:16 [music]
46:18 [music]
46:46 Michelle, are you leaving now?
46:47 Yes. Take care.
46:49 Take care.
46:50 Yes, I will.
46:51 Michelle, where are you going?
46:55 I'm going home.
46:59 I'm going to visit my children.
47:01 Michelle, I'll go with you.
47:04 I know I can't say anything to get back my innocence.
47:09 But I might be able to show you that I'm serious.
47:14 Michelle, I'm not afraid to tell my family or anyone else.
47:18 I'll go with you.
47:20 I want to meet your children.
47:23 David, you know you don't have to do this.
47:26 Michelle, I love you.
47:32 I accept you.
47:35 What you've been through, what you are now.
47:38 I want to spend my life with you.
47:43 I want to spend my future with you and everyone who's important to you.
47:48 I'm ready to accept and love your children if you'll just give me a chance.
47:56 David, we're not going there for fun.
48:01 My father's acceptance of me won't be good.
48:06 And I'm not sure how my children will accept you.
48:12 It's not a joke.
48:13 It's not a joke that you'll go in there.
48:17 I know.
48:20 That's why I'm nervous.
48:26 But Michelle, I'm ready.
48:34 I'm ready.
48:35 Lift your head.
48:56 Baby, don't be scared.
49:01 [Music]
49:24 Oh my God!
49:26 My baby is a big boy now.
49:29 Mommy, daddy doesn't want to face you and your children.
49:35 I support your daddy in everything but not here.
49:38 Because you're still their mother.
49:40 You have the right to see and be with them.
49:43 Thank you, mommy.
49:45 Let's play.
49:51 We're going to play.
49:53 Let's play.
49:54 Let's play.
49:55 That's a play.
49:56 My children, I want to introduce you to someone.
50:02 This is Uncle David.
50:04 And he wants to meet you.
50:06 Will you be a mother to your mom?
50:13 Can I join you?
50:20 You know,
50:21 we're just in Manila.
50:24 I know a good playground there.
50:27 We used to play there when we were kids.
50:31 Is the playground here better?
50:36 Yes.
50:38 No.
50:39 Come here.
50:41 Show me.
50:43 Yes.
50:45 But that playground is better.
50:47 I'm happy with my decision to gamble and love again.
50:51 David is so kind to me and to my children that he accepted me wholeheartedly.
50:58 Now, my family and I are getting ready and we're planning to get David married
51:05 when my marriage is already without a visa.
51:09 It's completely free of charge.
51:15 You should be ashamed of a difficult marriage if you didn't do everything you can to make it last and last.
51:25 Sometimes, you need to close a door to make your loved ones and yourself better.
51:34 And if you have the courage to do that,
51:38 that's when you can open a new door and bring a new hope for yourself.
51:45 This is Charo Santos. Good evening to all of you.
51:50 [Music]
