00:00:40 We met him as one of the most in demand comedian and host in TV and television.
00:00:48 But like other artists who became famous for their acting,
00:00:52 his experience was not funny.
00:00:55 [Film audio]
00:00:58 [Film audio]
00:01:01 I've saved you for a week.
00:01:03 Giselle, later, during lunchtime, I'll follow you.
00:01:08 Because the food is too expensive in the canteen.
00:01:11 And if you bring the food home, you might see your classmates.
00:01:17 Just tell your teacher that I'm following you.
00:01:21 I'll wait for you at the gate.
00:01:22 Get out now.
00:01:24 Okay, mommy.
00:01:25 Okay. Study well.
00:01:27 Okay.
00:01:28 Love you.
00:01:29 Love you.
00:01:29 Love you.
00:01:31 Hey, Giselle. Is that true, mom?
00:01:39 Yes. Why?
00:01:42 God, my mom says she's dressed like a prostitute.
00:01:46 Well, like mother, like daughter.
00:01:50 Look at you. You look like a prostitute's daughter.
00:01:53 Hey, my mom is not a prostitute.
00:01:56 Maybe you are.
00:01:58 You're the only one who wears a headband.
00:02:01 Only prostitutes wear that.
00:02:04 Give it to me.
00:02:07 Yuck! That's cheap. Made of plastic.
00:02:12 Give it to me. My mom said it's cheap.
00:02:16 Right. Your mom is a prostitute.
00:02:19 And your mom is the one who will buy this.
00:02:22 You don't belong to our school.
00:02:26 And we don't like you. You're so poor.
00:02:29 [Crying]
00:02:56 She tried to finish her studies despite the hardship and the dangers of other people.
00:03:01 Sometimes, she tried to love the man she married.
00:03:06 And in the meantime, she was blinded by her own fame.
00:03:11 So that in the end, she can understand the importance of her family.
00:03:16 I don't know.
00:03:18 My bad agents, if they sell land, it's like they're selling pandesal.
00:03:26 But me, I'm already short of half of my quota.
00:03:30 My bosses warned me that if I don't meet my quota for this month,
00:03:40 they will reduce my income.
00:03:43 Oh, no. I hope not.
00:03:48 We only studied three subjects.
00:03:52 [Crying]
00:03:55 What happened?
00:03:57 I don't want to study anymore.
00:04:00 I don't want to stay here in this house.
00:04:04 What happened?
00:04:07 They always bully me.
00:04:10 They said that we're poor.
00:04:13 I don't belong to my school.
00:04:16 They said that I'm just rich.
00:04:19 And, and mommy, even your clothes, they're scolding me.
00:04:24 They said that I'm a prostitute.
00:04:27 Your classmates are so bad.
00:04:30 They're always rich.
00:04:33 They're like animals.
00:04:35 Come here, come here.
00:04:46 Son, just be strong.
00:04:49 Don't pay attention to them.
00:04:51 If you transfer to another school,
00:04:55 your scholarship will be gone.
00:04:58 You should be thankful that you're in a private school.
00:05:03 Unlike the kids you play with here, they're only in public school.
00:05:09 Right?
00:05:11 Linda, what do you want to happen?
00:05:12 Your son is just a lowly person?
00:05:15 Why?
00:05:16 Do you have a choice?
00:05:17 There's none.
00:05:19 That's why, son,
00:05:21 be careful.
00:05:26 The good education you're getting now,
00:05:30 the only thing that your dad has in common with you,
00:05:33 the things he gave you,
00:05:35 it's just envy.
00:05:37 Because you have something that they don't have.
00:05:41 And that's your brain.
00:05:44 You can do it, right?
00:05:45 Mommy, I can't do it.
00:05:48 I can't do it.
00:05:49 Giselle endured the hardships of her old schoolmates
00:05:56 until she reached high school.
00:05:59 But she will face a new challenge here.
00:06:04 [music]
00:06:19 Eat well.
00:06:21 Mommy.
00:06:22 Hello, Mommy.
00:06:24 Okay, okay.
00:06:26 Your uniform.
00:06:29 You should wear it.
00:06:30 I'll tie it so it won't get caught in your armpits.
00:06:34 Mom, it's okay.
00:06:35 And even if you tie it, it won't have any remedies.
00:06:38 Maybe it will.
00:06:39 No, it's okay. Don't worry.
00:06:41 Are you sure?
00:06:42 I'm sorry, son.
00:06:44 It's because I spent a lot of money.
00:06:46 The money I spent on your uniform,
00:06:49 it went to the house rent.
00:06:52 Don't worry about that, Mom.
00:06:55 And you know what? I already thought of a way
00:06:57 to buy a new uniform.
00:06:59 What way?
00:07:01 It's up to me. Don't worry.
00:07:03 What are you thinking about, Giselle?
00:07:05 Mommy, come on. We're late.
00:07:08 [music]
00:07:11 Deposit.
00:07:13 Two, four, six, eight, ten.
00:07:18 Five bottles, ten pesos.
00:07:20 Irene!
00:07:23 Are you done with your sauce drinks?
00:07:25 Yeah, do you have more?
00:07:26 No, actually, I'm not that interested in it.
00:07:28 I'm interested in the bottle.
00:07:30 Can I have your deposit?
00:07:31 Yeah, sure.
00:07:33 Can I post it to Quest?
00:07:34 Four pesos.
00:07:35 Thank you. I'll just buy it.
00:07:36 Jenny!
00:07:40 Yula!
00:07:41 You're so fast.
00:07:43 You finally went to the cheese curls store.
00:07:45 How much was it?
00:07:46 It was super delicious.
00:07:47 It was only 10 pesos.
00:07:48 Is it bad?
00:07:49 I need to buy a new uniform.
00:07:51 New uniform?
00:07:52 I'll buy it.
00:07:53 Five?
00:07:54 Oh, thank you.
00:07:55 Just get five.
00:07:56 One, two, three, four, five.
00:08:00 Game, game. Come on, come on.
00:08:01 Thank you, thank you.
00:08:03 Get one, get one.
00:08:04 Sorry, she has a hole.
00:08:06 You have to buy.
00:08:10 Here you go.
00:08:12 You have one peso.
00:08:21 Boy, thank you.
00:08:23 You have one peso.
00:08:24 Oh, wow.
00:08:25 You're rich, you only have one peso.
00:08:28 Thank you.
00:08:33 Wait a minute.
00:08:34 Hey, Anna, you have one peso.
00:08:36 Why?
00:08:37 Come on, you're rich.
00:08:39 Come on, tomorrow you order cheese curls from me again.
00:08:43 It's just 10 pesos.
00:08:44 That's so cheap.
00:08:47 The other day, I saw you selling snacks to your classmates.
00:08:50 I'm sure you're aware of our school regulations.
00:08:53 We do not allow our students to sell or engage in any commercial activity inside the premises of the school.
00:09:01 We have a canteen.
00:09:03 They are the only ones who have the authority to sell food to the students.
00:09:08 I'm sorry, Ms. Vasas.
00:09:11 I'm just saving up to buy...
00:09:15 I know, I heard.
00:09:17 What is that?
00:09:26 Don't you need this?
00:09:28 Ma'am, I don't have money to buy that.
00:09:33 No, you can have this.
00:09:35 I personally bought this for you for free.
00:09:43 Thank you, Ma'am.
00:09:45 This is four sets.
00:09:47 One for each day.
00:09:49 Just ask your mom to give you the first set so you can have something to use every Friday.
00:09:54 Thank you so much.
00:10:00 You're welcome, Giselle.
00:10:02 I know what you've been through.
00:10:04 I'm just worried because your grades are going down because you're being busy with cheese curls.
00:10:12 And I also know that some of the upper classmen can be really mean to you.
00:10:18 But you know, they can't be mean to you.
00:10:22 You're a consistent honor student.
00:10:25 But you have to promise me that you'll stop selling cheese curls to your classmates.
00:10:32 I promise.
00:10:34 Thank you again.
00:10:39 Even though he's being mean because of his looks,
00:10:42 Giselle still has confidence in herself.
00:10:46 Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! This is scars! This is scars!
00:10:51 I'm going to die.
00:10:53 Oh my gosh! I really went to sleep.
00:10:57 It's like I just took a bath.
00:10:59 Yes, and his lips are so kissable.
00:11:03 I'm melting.
00:11:07 Guys, are we just going to sit here?
00:11:11 You know, you have to make a plan.
00:11:14 And so, I decided that today is the day.
00:11:19 The day for what?
00:11:21 That I'm going to ask Julio to the prom.
00:11:24 What? Are you crazy? Julio is the crush of the town?
00:11:29 Yes, Julio is the crush of the town.
00:11:33 Come on.
00:11:36 Watch and learn.
00:11:37 Hold my bag.
00:11:39 Now what? What happened?
00:12:01 Oh my gosh! Oh my, I'm so scared!
00:12:06 He's going to wake up. He's going to wake up.
00:12:08 Bye Julio! Bye!
00:12:10 That's what happens when you're too much.
00:12:13 Julio, is it true what we heard?
00:12:19 You're dating that freak at their prom?
00:12:21 Oh come on guys, give me a break.
00:12:23 So, what's the score between you and her?
00:12:26 I mean, look at her. She's a decent girl.
00:12:28 She's funny and you know, she makes me laugh.
00:12:31 That's why I chose to date her.
00:12:34 She's a decent girl.
00:12:35 If you want to be funny, we'll find you a clown for you.
00:12:40 And a decent girl?
00:12:42 When will you start following your standards, good girls?
00:12:45 Are you trying to be charitable?
00:12:47 Come on Julio, we know you.
00:12:50 You're not going out with someone who's just a decent girl.
00:12:53 Are you okay?
00:12:55 I don't have a plan. I have no plan.
00:12:58 Then why do you have to be with her company?
00:13:01 You're just going to laugh.
00:13:03 Yes, we're just concerned about you Julio.
00:13:05 We're your friends.
00:13:07 You'll just make them laugh.
00:13:09 And if you're going to embarrass us, we'll be embarrassed too.
00:13:12 But if you insist on dating that freak,
00:13:15 then you'll have to stop seeing us.
00:13:17 Okay, okay. I'll call her later and I'll cancel our date.
00:13:21 Good.
00:13:23 Huh?
00:13:25 Jisel is so pitiful.
00:13:27 Who's her date at the prom?
00:13:29 Well, you know, she doesn't deserve a date.
00:13:32 They should just date on her floor map.
00:13:34 They should even look alike.
00:13:36 Julio! Hi!
00:13:38 Hi!
00:13:40 I'm really sorry Jisel.
00:13:45 I'm really, really sorry.
00:13:47 I'm really, really sorry.
00:13:48 You're so ugly.
00:14:03 You're so ugly.
00:14:16 You're so ugly.
00:14:17 You're so ugly.
00:14:20 You're so ugly.
00:14:22 You're so ugly.
00:14:24 You're so ugly.
00:14:29 Why did you make me ugly?
00:14:42 Why did you make me ugly?
00:14:46 You'll forget that.
00:15:10 Mom, look at me.
00:15:12 Look at me.
00:15:14 I'm so ugly, right?
00:15:16 I'm not going to the prom anymore.
00:15:19 They're the only ones who suit me.
00:15:22 What suits me is to be here in my room,
00:15:26 to be able to cry and to feel sorry for myself.
00:15:30 If you say that,
00:15:34 you'll also hurt me.
00:15:38 You'll also hurt me.
00:15:39 It's your fault.
00:15:41 You made me believe that I'm beautiful.
00:15:46 Look at me, Mom.
00:15:49 You told me that I'm beautiful.
00:15:53 I'm not saying that.
00:15:57 If they can only see what we can see,
00:16:04 you don't need to make them believe that you're beautiful.
00:16:08 Don't believe them.
00:16:19 Believe me, Mom.
00:16:24 I won't take back what I said because that's the truth.
00:16:33 The mirror won't show you.
00:16:37 The mirror won't show you.
00:16:42 Your soul won't show you.
00:16:46 The mirror won't show you, son.
00:16:49 Your beauty is your soul.
00:16:52 Especially when you look at other mirrors.
00:16:56 Son, please understand me.
00:17:02 That's what's important.
00:17:03 Giselle finished her second honors in their high school.
00:17:10 And in her college, she also worked as a tutor.
00:17:14 What she earned from this job is
00:17:17 for her hair,
00:17:19 for her face,
00:17:21 and for her teeth.
00:17:24 During this time,
00:17:26 Giselle is already planning to become an actress.
00:17:31 And it didn't take long for Giselle to be the one who's being chased by men.
00:17:35 Hey, hey.
00:17:37 Hi.
00:17:38 I was just telling my beloved bossman,
00:17:41 I reminded you about your party last night.
00:17:44 He said you should be ready.
00:17:46 And?
00:17:48 He said you should be there after the last night.
00:17:51 Why did I have to tell him?
00:17:54 Why didn't he just tell me directly?
00:17:59 And why are you guys bossmen?
00:18:01 Are you guys in a syndicate?
00:18:03 That's how it is.
00:18:05 So, later,
00:18:07 just look for the bossman at the party.
00:18:10 He said he's the one who's going to be there.
00:18:11 Okay.
00:18:13 We'll go now.
00:18:14 Bye.
00:18:15 Oh my, you're so handsome.
00:18:20 But remember, your date at the party later,
00:18:23 the most macho and the most handsome guy here at school,
00:18:27 Carlo, what?
00:18:28 Is it you?
00:18:29 What? No.
00:18:30 Is he really a macho guy?
00:18:33 Why not?
00:18:35 Oh my, I'm already a macho girl.
00:18:37 Oh my, first of all, I can never be Carlo's boyfriend.
00:18:41 Why?
00:18:42 We don't really fit together.
00:18:44 Number one, campus heartthrob.
00:18:46 Number two, he's really famous in campus.
00:18:49 Number three, he's so handsome.
00:18:51 Maybe later, when we walk together, I'll just laugh at the girls.
00:18:55 Okay, Giselle.
00:18:56 You're so funny.
00:18:57 So, how much is he?
00:19:00 Carlo is the most social and famous bossman.
00:19:05 But Giselle still doesn't accept that there are men who are interested in her.
00:19:11 But it won't take long,
00:19:13 and she'll meet the man who's destined for her.
00:19:19 Hello, can you please talk to Miguel Buen Camino?
00:19:23 Sorry, he's not here. Who is this?
00:19:25 This is Giselle, his classmate in COM3.
00:19:28 Never mind, thank you.
00:19:30 Wait, who is this?
00:19:31 This is Emil.
00:19:33 Are you the brother?
00:19:34 Yes, I am.
00:19:36 I'll just tell him and you can call me.
00:19:38 No, no, no, wait. Sorry, I'll just get to the point.
00:19:41 Do you have a video cam?
00:19:43 Because I really need it for my project tomorrow.
00:19:46 Well, actually, we do.
00:19:48 But we need a long extension cord because his battery pack is broken.
00:19:52 Never mind, because our shoot is outdoors.
00:19:55 Can you please ask Giselle Sanchez to call?
00:19:58 Thank you.
00:19:59 Wait, wait. Giselle Sanchez?
00:20:02 Yeah?
00:20:03 Are you the one who's in the play, Lorena?
00:20:05 Yes, why? You watched it?
00:20:08 Yeah, actually I did.
00:20:10 I was with the band who made the music for your play.
00:20:14 I watched your play, I did.
00:20:17 And I'm a big fan of yours.
00:20:18 Really?
00:20:20 Yes.
00:20:21 You're joking, right? I'm not an artist.
00:20:23 You're just a fan.
00:20:24 No, really.
00:20:25 Are you from UP?
00:20:26 Yes, College of Engineering.
00:20:28 Really? What a small world.
00:20:30 That's so weird.
00:20:33 Hey, what's wrong? You've been there for 30 minutes.
00:20:35 I have to go.
00:20:37 Let's talk.
00:20:38 Sorry, sister.
00:20:42 Next time, make sure you have your own phone so that you don't have to use our phone.
00:20:49 Okay, Sister Ludie. I'll go now.
00:20:51 Giselle didn't think that the conversation would lead to a serious divorce.
00:20:58 Giselle, what's wrong? What are you so scared of?
00:21:01 I'm just nervous about the look of my date right now.
00:21:04 I asked her what Emil looks like to her friends.
00:21:07 One of her friends said that he's dark.
00:21:09 The other one said that he's fat.
00:21:11 The other one said that Emil is fat.
00:21:14 Imagine, he's fat, dark, fat.
00:21:16 There, there. You believed it.
00:21:18 As if I'm not mad at his ugliness.
00:21:21 Oh my gosh, I'm ugly and he's ugly.
00:21:23 I don't think he can do it.
00:21:24 Stop it.
00:21:26 I know. If you're the first one to see him,
00:21:29 I'll just say this,
00:21:31 if he's handsome, I'll remove the red tape.
00:21:34 I'll know that he's ugly.
00:21:35 You said that, right?
00:21:36 Betay 100.
00:21:37 Okay, I'll remove it.
00:21:38 But if I don't remove it, I'll get 100.
00:21:40 If he's ugly, I'll get 100.
00:21:42 You're the one who's waiting for the meeting.
00:21:44 Okay, I'll do it.
00:21:45 I'll remove it.
00:21:46 If he's ugly, I'll get 100.
00:21:48 Oh my gosh, he's ugly.
00:21:49 He's ugly.
00:21:50 He's ugly. I know that.
00:21:53 You'll die here.
00:21:55 I'm ugly already.
00:21:56 I'm ugly.
00:21:57 You're ugly.
00:21:59 You're really dead.
00:22:00 I'm dead.
00:22:01 Excuse me, wait a second.
00:22:03 I'm Emil.
00:22:06 Excuse me.
00:22:09 Hi.
00:22:13 This is for you.
00:22:15 Thank you.
00:22:16 100.
00:22:18 You want to join us?
00:22:21 This is my best friend, Sheila.
00:22:23 Hi.
00:22:24 Hello.
00:22:25 What time?
00:22:26 I brought him, but it's okay.
00:22:27 What time?
00:22:29 I don't know.
00:22:30 What time is it?
00:22:32 [music]
00:22:54 Emil and Giselle also became lovers.
00:22:59 Their relationship lasted for a few years.
00:23:02 During those times, Giselle tried her dream to be an actress.
00:23:07 Because her natural being a comedian in the theater,
00:23:11 it wasn't hard for Giselle to cross the world of television and movies.
00:23:16 Hello, Beh.
00:23:18 Yes, we're going home early today.
00:23:21 We're taping, you know, showbiz.
00:23:24 But I'm excited because Manly Linares is my co-star today.
00:23:28 Yes, it's really different when you're an actress.
00:23:32 Talen, are you okay?
00:23:35 Yes, I'm looking for a girl to be my co-star.
00:23:37 Wait, who's that?
00:23:38 You're not joining us yet?
00:23:40 Come here.
00:23:42 I'm calling you.
00:23:43 Who are you talking to?
00:23:44 You're a stand-in again.
00:23:46 You're just acting like you're famous.
00:23:49 You're just extras here.
00:23:51 Where's Manly Linares?
00:23:53 Did he call?
00:23:55 Hurry up so we can go home.
00:23:59 Are you done?
00:24:00 Let's go here.
00:24:03 Hi, Miss Manly Linares.
00:24:06 You're so beautiful.
00:24:07 You're so beautiful.
00:24:10 Yes, there.
00:24:12 Your scene is Miss Manly Linares fighting in the graveyard.
00:24:16 But you'll be defeated.
00:24:17 Remember that.
00:24:18 Yes.
00:24:19 Okay?
00:24:20 Come here.
00:24:21 You're here.
00:24:22 You're a man here.
00:24:23 Here, here.
00:24:24 You're here.
00:24:25 You're okay now.
00:24:26 You're Miss Manly Linares.
00:24:27 You're here, Madam.
00:24:28 Okay?
00:24:30 Yes.
00:24:32 Let's rehearse.
00:24:33 Hey, you remember, okay?
00:24:35 You'll be defeated.
00:24:36 Yes.
00:24:37 You're not a stand-in here.
00:24:38 Yes.
00:24:39 From being an extra,
00:24:40 in the competition,
00:24:41 Giselle's talent was also noticed
00:24:44 and it didn't take long
00:24:46 for Giselle to look at a big deck
00:24:52 and host the SST.
00:24:54 It became a path
00:24:56 for her to become more famous
00:24:58 and to add her showbiz and business.
00:25:01 Thank you.
00:25:21 Son,
00:25:22 why are you an actress
00:25:25 when I'm still a tricycle?
00:25:26 It's okay.
00:25:28 I'm wearing a cap.
00:25:29 They won't recognize me.
00:25:30 I feel sorry for you, son.
00:25:33 I wish we had a car like before.
00:25:36 I wish I could drive you.
00:25:38 Mom, don't worry.
00:25:40 You know, my friend, John C,
00:25:42 he said that his parents can be guarantors
00:25:45 in my car loan.
00:25:46 Right?
00:25:47 So, I thought that instead of taking a taxi,
00:25:49 I'll just eat out.
00:25:50 I'll just save money for your car.
00:25:52 Right?
00:25:53 You have a lot of sacrifices.
00:25:56 Mom, don't worry.
00:26:00 I promise you and daddy
00:26:03 that I won't let you down.
00:26:06 When I have money,
00:26:07 the first thing I'll do
00:26:10 is to build you a house
00:26:12 and then I'll take care of Matt,
00:26:14 Richard, and Maui.
00:26:16 I promise you that, Mom.
00:26:18 My son is so kind.
00:26:20 But your dad has a job.
00:26:23 I want you to study first,
00:26:26 graduate,
00:26:28 and that's the only thing we can give you.
00:26:33 Mom, I promise.
00:26:36 I'll study hard.
00:26:38 And if you think that I'm being a busybody,
00:26:42 tell me and I'll turn my back on you.
00:26:46 But if not,
00:26:48 and I can balance them,
00:26:50 that's okay, right?
00:26:51 But even though she was a busybody as an artist,
00:26:57 Giselle still didn't give up on her studies.
00:27:00 She proved to her parents
00:27:03 that she can be a scholar in UP
00:27:07 and to be a part of the world of television and movies.
00:27:12 [music]
00:27:14 Mia, why are you so quiet all night?
00:27:30 [footsteps]
00:27:32 Here.
00:27:42 My friends are talking.
00:27:45 They said we're breaking up.
00:27:47 [music]
00:27:50 Sus, this is nothing.
00:27:54 This is nothing, Sus.
00:27:58 This is not true.
00:27:59 This is a tabloid.
00:28:01 How can it be?
00:28:02 It says here that you're his fiancée.
00:28:07 What's this?
00:28:09 Emil, this is just legal to me.
00:28:12 This is, this is, he's harmless.
00:28:15 This is not true.
00:28:16 Will he write about this?
00:28:19 Emil, of course, in this job,
00:28:24 it's normal that I have corporate shows.
00:28:27 And in golf tours,
00:28:28 I sometimes meet guys like him.
00:28:31 Yes, I admit,
00:28:33 he offered me marriage.
00:28:35 He offered me a house, money, everything.
00:28:38 But I didn't accept it.
00:28:41 How can I be sure?
00:28:45 I'm not there.
00:28:47 I don't want to walk alone.
00:28:50 Babe,
00:28:55 you don't trust me anymore?
00:28:57 Huh?
00:29:00 We've been together for five years.
00:29:03 You don't trust me anymore?
00:29:08 You trust those kind of people?
00:29:10 Babe, I won't,
00:29:12 I won't exchange those five years for the two of us.
00:29:19 I won't exchange anything, babe.
00:29:24 Babe,
00:29:25 let's go.
00:29:27 Let's talk somewhere else.
00:29:28 Let's talk somewhere else.
00:29:30 Babe.
00:29:34 [music]
00:29:36 [music]
00:29:51 After graduating as a magna cum laude and school valedictorian
00:29:56 in her mass communication course in UP,
00:29:59 Giselle continued to expand in the world of showbiz.
00:30:03 Her talent in hosting was also tested.
00:30:06 And this is what brought her not only to different parts of the Philippines,
00:30:11 but to the whole world.
00:30:13 The graceful boss for Giselle was really unstoppable.
00:30:18 Not only did she accept,
00:30:20 she didn't think that her simple life would change her mind.
00:30:24 And here's my fiancé,
00:30:27 the man of my dreams.
00:30:28 Oh, this is the face of Manny Pacquiao.
00:30:31 Papa Manny,
00:30:34 give me a kiss.
00:30:36 Give me a kiss.
00:30:38 Girlfriend, that's okay.
00:30:39 I'm not jealous, right?
00:30:41 Give me a kiss.
00:30:42 Kiss.
00:30:43 It smells so good.
00:30:47 The smell of burnt tires.
00:30:49 Just kidding, darling.
00:30:52 My friends, I'll be back.
00:30:54 But before that,
00:30:55 I can hear the glasses tingling.
00:30:57 We should kiss first.
00:30:59 The bride and groom.
00:31:01 Kiss.
00:31:03 What do I hear?
00:31:04 Kiss.
00:31:05 They're so cute.
00:31:07 Maybe they're still preparing for the hotel later, right?
00:31:10 For the honeymoon.
00:31:11 I'll be back, ladies and gentlemen.
00:31:13 My name is Giselle Sanchez.
00:31:14 I'm a girl.
00:31:15 But the world was in a mess.
00:31:17 Because Giselle will meet again
00:31:20 the first man who made her feel the bitterness of love.
00:31:26 Excuse me, miss.
00:31:27 I just arrived here, you know.
00:31:29 By the way, my name is Julio Madrigal.
00:31:31 I'm the friend of the groom.
00:31:32 And your name is?
00:31:34 You don't remember me?
00:31:37 Actually, I was wondering if we could go out sometime, you know.
00:31:41 You really don't remember me, do you?
00:31:45 Actually, no.
00:31:47 Have we met before?
00:31:48 I'm Giselle Sanchez.
00:31:50 Remember?
00:31:53 The girl you dumped on my prom date.
00:31:56 I remember you.
00:31:57 Oh, you're an actress.
00:31:58 I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.
00:32:00 Because I've been in the States for five years.
00:32:02 So, how's life?
00:32:04 You know, I heard you're an artist and everything.
00:32:06 You're an actress.
00:32:07 You know, you've changed a lot.
00:32:09 Yeah.
00:32:11 People change a lot.
00:32:13 So, would you like to have dinner sometime?
00:32:15 You know, catch up on old times.
00:32:17 You're asking me out?
00:32:19 Yeah.
00:32:20 I mean, would you like?
00:32:21 Kiss me.
00:32:23 I'm sorry, Julio.
00:32:25 I'm not available.
00:32:26 And even if I was, I wouldn't go out with you.
00:32:29 Because you're not my type anymore.
00:32:31 Mom.
00:32:40 Yes?
00:32:41 What?
00:32:42 I'm going to the bathroom.
00:32:44 I'm going to sleep.
00:32:46 I'll tell my mom.
00:32:50 I'll get my baby.
00:32:52 And then, I have a show later.
00:32:55 I'm going to sleep.
00:32:57 Baby.
00:32:59 Baby, I'm here.
00:33:01 I got my baby.
00:33:04 I'll get my baby.
00:33:06 How's your wedding in Houston?
00:33:09 There were a lot of guests.
00:33:10 That's why it took us a long time.
00:33:12 We waited for all the guests.
00:33:13 But guess who I saw at the wedding?
00:33:16 Who?
00:33:17 Julio Madrigal.
00:33:20 How is he?
00:33:21 Julio Madrigal, my high school prom date that I dropped.
00:33:26 Our high school heart prom.
00:33:29 And you know what he did?
00:33:32 He asked me out.
00:33:35 He asked me for dinner.
00:33:37 I said, "Sorry, I'm not available."
00:33:40 "Excuse me, because I'm famous now."
00:33:45 "He can ask me for dinner."
00:33:48 "I'm not the high school that's still waiting for him."
00:33:53 "Can I?"
00:33:54 While Giselle was busy with the world of showbiz,
00:34:01 it seems like Emil is the one who's keeping her away.
00:34:05 Morning, Ma.
00:34:15 Morning.
00:34:16 Where's Emil?
00:34:18 He's not here. He didn't wake you up?
00:34:20 He left.
00:34:22 He said he has something to do at the office.
00:34:29 Are you free today?
00:34:31 No, I'm just at home.
00:34:32 That's good.
00:34:34 You're so busy with your boyfriend.
00:34:37 It seems like you're just dreaming about him.
00:34:43 Don't you have any plans to get married?
00:34:47 Your dad is eager to have a grandchild.
00:34:52 Maybe you'll be the first one.
00:34:55 Emil and I have been together for a long time.
00:35:00 You know, with all the work and the racket,
00:35:04 it's a waste if I'll go through that, right?
00:35:07 Besides, Emil understands that.
00:35:09 Are you sure?
00:35:12 Of course.
00:35:13 He looks so small.
00:35:15 It seems like he can't wait.
00:35:18 What's your pager?
00:35:22 Emil's pager?
00:35:26 Maybe he's the one.
00:35:30 [alarm clock ringing]
00:35:58 My friend said that he saw Emil here.
00:36:02 He's with a girl.
00:36:04 Are you okay?
00:36:06 I'm okay.
00:36:08 Do I look okay?
00:36:11 I've been taking care of him for 7 years.
00:36:15 I know that he's having a grandchild.
00:36:19 You're his sister.
00:36:24 You didn't tell him.
00:36:26 You didn't tell me.
00:36:28 Do I need to know about the pager?
00:36:31 Sister,
00:36:39 please be quiet.
00:36:42 I'm not going to give you anything.
00:36:44 It's embarrassing.
00:36:45 Sister.
00:36:47 Sister, please be quiet.
00:36:48 It's embarrassing.
00:36:49 I'm not going to get anything.
00:36:52 Sister, please be quiet.
00:36:54 I don't want to.
00:36:55 Sister, please be quiet.
00:36:56 I don't want to.
00:36:58 They're fooling me.
00:36:59 Sister.
00:37:02 Sister, please be quiet.
00:37:05 You're so silly.
00:37:13 [sad music]
00:37:15 [music]
00:37:31 Giselle didn't think that she would be able to prove her love for Emil
00:37:37 after she discovered his relationship with another woman.
00:37:42 There were many men who came to me and chased me.
00:37:47 But I noticed that they didn't.
00:37:51 Because I love you.
00:37:55 And I thought that you love me.
00:37:59 But what you did,
00:38:02 you just fooled me.
00:38:06 I know that.
00:38:11 That's why...
00:38:12 That's why what?
00:38:13 That's why I'm busy?
00:38:15 That's why I can't talk to you?
00:38:18 You know where I go.
00:38:21 And you know what I do.
00:38:23 I know that.
00:38:25 But you understand me.
00:38:28 I'm sad and I'm looking for someone.
00:38:32 Did you think that you're the only one who's having a hard time?
00:38:35 I'm having a hard time.
00:38:36 I'm having a hard time.
00:38:38 Look at me, who's the one between us?
00:38:40 Who's the one between us who's having a hard time?
00:38:42 Why? Did I fool you?
00:38:45 You too.
00:38:49 I know that there are many men around you.
00:38:52 You don't have to tell me that.
00:38:54 But sometimes, you hear me.
00:38:57 The pain that I feel,
00:39:00 the jealousy,
00:39:02 I hid it.
00:39:07 I forgave you for your shortcomings.
00:39:09 But now, I'm the one who's being judged.
00:39:11 I'm the one who's at fault.
00:39:13 Why can't you forgive me?
00:39:14 I'm sorry, Emil.
00:39:17 But I told you before,
00:39:21 that when the day comes,
00:39:23 I'll know if you're fooling me.
00:39:26 You'll leave me?
00:39:36 That day has come.
00:39:38 So, leave.
00:39:42 Don't.
00:39:44 Giselle.
00:39:45 Leave!
00:39:46 Leave!
00:39:49 Emil.
00:40:02 Emil.
00:40:03 Emil.
00:40:13 Lalaine.
00:40:27 Do you know me?
00:40:31 Yes.
00:40:32 You're Giselle Sanchez.
00:40:34 You're Emil's girlfriend.
00:40:37 Not anymore.
00:40:39 We just broke up.
00:40:43 So, are you happy?
00:40:48 Why are you asking me?
00:40:52 I just want to tell you that
00:40:55 don't be too happy.
00:41:00 Because you're just passing your time.
00:41:02 I know that.
00:41:04 You don't match.
00:41:07 I know that.
00:41:10 You don't have to tell me anymore.
00:41:13 I know what I'm doing.
00:41:17 Brother Emil is just sad.
00:41:21 He needs someone
00:41:24 to be with him,
00:41:26 someone to talk to.
00:41:29 I'm sorry.
00:41:30 I'll go ahead.
00:41:35 I'll go ahead.
00:41:37 Giselle?
00:42:00 Where did you go?
00:42:03 To the States.
00:42:04 Giselle.
00:42:11 You don't have to do this.
00:42:15 Let's talk first.
00:42:18 How's your career?
00:42:24 Your family?
00:42:26 Are you ready to leave all of that?
00:42:29 Giselle,
00:42:32 what about me?
00:42:33 What about me?
00:42:34 I don't know.
00:42:36 I don't know.
00:42:39 All I know is
00:42:42 when I'm here in this house,
00:42:47 you're the only one I think of.
00:42:49 When I'm in the kitchen,
00:42:51 I always remember that you're cooking for me.
00:42:56 When I'm in the living room,
00:42:59 I remember that
00:43:01 you're sleeping there
00:43:02 and you're waiting for me.
00:43:03 When I'm in the living room,
00:43:06 I don't want to remember that.
00:43:11 Emil,
00:43:14 I've lived for five years
00:43:17 breathing with you.
00:43:19 Then you'll just fool me.
00:43:24 I can't do that.
00:43:26 I need someone to teach me how to live.
00:43:30 I need someone to teach me how to live without you.
00:43:32 Giselle,
00:43:36 I'm sorry if I hurt you.
00:43:41 I'm really very sorry I hurt you.
00:43:44 But you don't have to do this.
00:43:48 You don't have to leave.
00:43:50 If you can learn to live without me,
00:43:54 I can't.
00:43:56 I can't.
00:43:58 I can't live without you.
00:44:00 Giselle, please forgive me.
00:44:03 Please forgive me.
00:44:04 I promise you,
00:44:07 you're the only woman I'll love and make happy for the rest of my life.
00:44:11 Please forgive me.
00:44:14 Please.
00:44:16 Please, Giselle.
00:44:20 Please.
00:44:21 I'm sorry.
00:44:37 I'm sorry.
00:44:39 I'm sorry.
00:44:41 I'm sorry.
00:44:43 I'm sorry.
00:44:44 [music]
00:44:46 [music]
00:44:55 After being together for almost 7 years,
00:45:04 Giselle and Emil went back to Altar.
00:45:09 Emil.
00:45:10 [music]
00:45:12 Thank you.
00:45:25 Thank you.
00:45:28 For making me happy.
00:45:29 You too.
00:45:32 You also made me happy.
00:45:35 [music]
00:45:36 What's wrong? Why?
00:45:41 I have something to confess to you.
00:45:44 What is it?
00:45:47 Do you remember when we were about to separate?
00:45:50 When I said I was going to the States?
00:45:52 That's not true.
00:45:54 It was just a drama.
00:45:56 I promised myself that I'll forgive you if you'll go down in front of me.
00:46:04 Are you not mad?
00:46:05 I know that.
00:46:08 Your mom told me.
00:46:10 Your mom really doesn't know how to lie.
00:46:15 You're not going to leave me?
00:46:17 What? Are you confused?
00:46:19 Why would I do that?
00:46:21 I just married the sexiest woman alive.
00:46:25 Oh, really?
00:46:27 I'm going to lose you.
00:46:28 I'm really in love with you.
00:46:32 [laughs]
00:46:33 Kiss me.
00:46:35 Just a kiss?
00:46:37 For more than a decade, Giselle has been an artist.
00:46:42 She's also the one who took care of her family.
00:46:46 But when she got married to Emil,
00:46:48 Giselle decided to leave her job to face her life with her husband.
00:46:54 This decision to leave her job will create a divide between Giselle and her mother.
00:47:01 Hey, where's your show?
00:47:03 I have a show in the Philippine Plaza.
00:47:06 I'm ready.
00:47:07 I'm going to run to Cebu.
00:47:08 We have a car there.
00:47:10 Really? That's a lot.
00:47:12 Why did you come here?
00:47:14 Mat, your brother, needs money.
00:47:23 Again?
00:47:25 How much is that?
00:47:27 30,000 pesos.
00:47:30 30,000 pesos?
00:47:31 Mom, what do you think I am? A money factory?
00:47:33 Okay, no problem.
00:47:36 If not, it's okay.
00:47:38 Mom.
00:47:39 Mom, it's not like that.
00:47:40 You know, since I became an artist,
00:47:44 I promised you that I will take care of you and Daddy.
00:47:48 Even if I have to close down the condo,
00:47:50 I will still make you a house.
00:47:52 Look, I'm still supporting you.
00:47:55 You're still ultimate, Mat and Richard, you have a family.
00:47:57 I'm still fulfilling their responsibilities.
00:47:59 But don't abuse me.
00:48:02 I have a family now.
00:48:04 We know that, my child.
00:48:06 You don't have to fight for us.
00:48:09 I'm not fighting.
00:48:12 I'm just really tired.
00:48:15 My whole life,
00:48:17 my whole life, I'm just pushing you.
00:48:22 Richard, Mat, Maui, Daddy,
00:48:25 you're just the same.
00:48:27 What about me?
00:48:29 Think about me.
00:48:30 My life,
00:48:32 my husband's life, and our child.
00:48:35 You're really out of your mind.
00:48:38 Mom, I'm not out of my mind.
00:48:41 It's not like that.
00:48:43 Kisel,
00:48:46 I'm not the one who took the money from you.
00:48:51 You're the one who gave us the money.
00:48:53 And if you're supporting us,
00:48:57 you have a life.
00:48:58 We're not doing anything to you.
00:49:00 I almost let your father and your brother
00:49:06 just because of you,
00:49:07 because of taking care of you.
00:49:09 But Maui, he grew up like a mother.
00:49:12 I spent all my time and time on you.
00:49:15 Oh my, are we going to be left with debts?
00:49:20 Yes,
00:49:21 if I have to do everything for you,
00:49:24 it's just to remind you
00:49:27 that family is important, Kisel.
00:49:30 Your family will give you unconditional love.
00:49:36 Unconditional love.
00:49:39 Everything you have now,
00:49:42 it can be lost in a moment.
00:49:46 And if it happens,
00:49:49 you lose your money,
00:49:50 you're not famous,
00:49:52 your family will be left without a place to go.
00:49:54 I hope that when that time comes,
00:49:59 we're here,
00:50:01 your family,
00:50:03 that will support you.

00:54:52 I can't believe what's happening.
00:54:59 It's like God is so kind to me.
00:55:05 He gave me a family that supports me.
00:55:08 He gave me a kind mother who can endure my patience.
00:55:15 He gave me a beautiful child.
00:55:19 And above all,
00:55:22 I'm smiling at this house.
00:55:25 I've been smiling since I was a child.
00:55:28 That's good.
00:55:31 Maybe God knows that you're trying to make it up to Him.
00:55:35 But the best gift He gave me
00:55:40 is Matt's recovery.
00:55:43 He doesn't have skin cancer anymore, Ben.
00:55:47 You know what, Bebe?
00:55:48 God won't give this to you
00:55:50 if you're not worthy to receive it.
00:55:53 Here, take this.

00:56:47 Look at that!
00:56:49 Who would have thought that it's so beautiful?
00:56:52 Sometimes, it's like a mongoose.
00:56:55 Yes.
00:56:56 But I'm not--
00:56:57 Thank you, doctor.
00:56:58 My eyes are already--
00:56:59 No, that's why.
00:57:00 It's like braces, pimples,
00:57:03 and wild hairs.
00:57:05 I got it straightened, I got it derma-treated.
00:57:07 Thank you, both faces.
00:57:08 Wow!
00:57:09 And I got braces.
00:57:11 Yes.
00:57:12 That's how my face was.
00:57:13 I was ugly.
00:57:14 Yes, when you were little,
00:57:15 when you were ugly,
00:57:16 you really thought of yourself as ugly?
00:57:18 No.
00:57:19 Because my mom raised me
00:57:21 to be beautiful.
00:57:23 What prompted you to go through that?
00:57:25 To get straightened hair?
00:57:27 I really wanted to be an artist.
00:57:29 That's really it.
00:57:30 When I had a little money,
00:57:32 because of my tutor,
00:57:34 I used the little savings I had
00:57:35 to get straightened hair,
00:57:37 to get derma-treated,
00:57:38 to get my hair done.
00:57:40 But now,
00:57:41 why did it become straight?
00:57:43 I did this only for Magpais.
00:57:48 How did you end up with honors?
00:57:51 At the same time, you're working,
00:57:54 at the same time,
00:57:55 you're thinking of your family,
00:57:57 at the same time,
00:57:58 you have boyfriends on the side.
00:58:01 How did you...
00:58:02 How did I do that?
00:58:04 You were in a hurry
00:58:06 in a time frame.
00:58:07 Yes.
00:58:08 I guess it's proper time management.
00:58:09 I really took care of myself.
00:58:12 But do you think
00:58:14 you'll be good
00:58:16 if you didn't finish your studies?
00:58:20 I don't think so.
00:58:23 Especially if I make a lot of money,
00:58:26 which is corporate hosting
00:58:28 and corporate performances.
00:58:30 You'll be better
00:58:31 if you studied.
00:58:33 What's your principle
00:58:35 when it comes to your family,
00:58:38 your husband, your son,
00:58:40 your daughter, and your niece?
00:58:42 What are the principles you follow?
00:58:44 God is in the middle of our family.
00:58:47 My second principle is
00:58:48 whenever you go home,
00:58:49 your family should get the best of you
00:58:52 and not what is left of you.
00:58:54 How much do you love your husband?
00:58:57 Very, very, very much.
00:59:00 Now with a baby girl,
00:59:02 how did motherhood change you?
00:59:06 Oh my!
00:59:08 Before, I would go up to really, really green.
00:59:11 But now, I'm just a little naughty
00:59:13 because it doesn't suit me anymore
00:59:15 because I'm a mother now.
00:59:17 Congratulations to you.
00:59:18 Thank you.
00:59:19 I would really like to thank GMA7,
00:59:21 and Magpakailanman,
00:59:22 and you, Tita Mel.
00:59:23 Thank you so much
00:59:24 for giving me this opportunity
00:59:26 to be an inspiration to the children,
00:59:28 to the students,
00:59:30 and to those who feel that they're ugly.
00:59:33 Those who have a lot of pimples.
00:59:36 No, you're beautiful.
00:59:38 And that's what's important.
00:59:39 My mother said,
00:59:40 this and this is what's important,
00:59:42 to be able to succeed in life.
00:59:44 Thank you.
00:59:45 Giselle really needs to be thanked
00:59:50 for all the blessings she received.
00:59:52 Her simple dreams when she was young
00:59:55 were one by one fulfilled,
00:59:57 which were also the result of her sacrifices and efforts.
01:00:01 But for Giselle,
01:00:03 she was more blessed
01:00:05 because she was able to look back at her childhood
01:00:08 and value the people she owed her success to.
01:00:13 Those are none other than her own family.
01:00:17 I am Mel Tiangco,
01:00:21 and this is the story of each one of us.
01:00:23 Now, tomorrow, and forever.
