01:34 [Singing]
01:47 [Singing]
01:56 There, you're still strong, you're still strong, son!
01:59 That's what we're hoping for.
02:00 So that when you get to the contest, when you fight,
02:02 your voice will be clear, and of course, you'll get the people.
02:06 We'll have a contest.
02:08 Huh?
02:09 Not a contest, a concert.
02:11 Then, we'll be able to sell a lot of albums.
02:14 Yeah.
02:15 And not only that, here's another thing, I'll build you a mansion.
02:20 Really?
02:21 Of course.
02:22 No, son, you're doing a good thing.
02:23 Keep your dreams, son.
02:25 You'll help us, we'll support you.
02:28 Of course.
02:29 Okay.
02:30 [Singing]
02:33 Hey, Anthony, stop it there, someone might hear you.
02:37 Tell them we're a family of others.
02:39 You know, Andy, you're really a troublemaker.
02:44 Pa, will you really let Manila participate in that singing contest?
02:49 You know, Andy, don't make your brother visit you with an ambition.
02:55 Improve yourself, aren't you ashamed?
02:59 Your other brother in Manila has a good job.
03:02 Oh, you're still the eldest.
03:06 Just like me, Anthony will spend a lot for those contests.
03:11 We'll waste our money.
03:13 How can I waste it?
03:14 My son will probably win, right?
03:17 I'll get a lot of money from the pigs you'll raise.
03:23 So, it's okay.
03:24 Okay, let's go.
03:27 Pa!
03:28 Ma!
03:29 Pa!
03:30 Why? Why?
03:31 I came from the pig farm.
03:32 Yes.
03:33 All the pigs were sold.
03:34 Huh?
03:35 Then you ran away and took the money.
03:37 How did that happen?
03:38 Let's go.
03:39 Pa!
03:41 Pa!
03:42 Anthony, you can't ride a boat to Manila anymore.
03:51 Even if you don't participate in the contest, you'll lose.
03:55 Anthony, what kind of kid were you?
04:02 Were you obedient?
04:04 I was a kid.
04:05 How many siblings?
04:07 Five.
04:08 That's a lot.
04:09 I was taken care of.
04:11 I was a happy kid.
04:13 I was the one who took the kids to the school.
04:19 So, you were in the Bibo?
04:20 I was in the Bibo grade school.
04:22 I was in arts, dancing, singing.
04:24 Actually, I can say I was a mama's boy and a papa's boy.
04:28 Because I was used to being pampered by my parents.
04:32 I was about to say that.
04:33 Yes.
04:34 You were pampered when you were a kid.
04:35 Yes.
04:36 Okay, Yoleng. Put that down. Thank you.
04:39 Ask Ma'am Soriana if she'll be participating.
04:41 Okay. The more work, the more income.
04:44 Right.
04:45 Ma, what are you doing? That's a lot.
04:53 Let me help you.
04:54 Oh, no. I can do this.
04:57 I told you that it won't break.
04:59 Don't.
05:01 That's a lot.
05:02 No.
05:03 Why did you put it there?
05:04 You're going to get us fooled.
05:06 I need to wash the dishes so we can spend.
05:09 Brother.
05:11 Anthony.
05:12 I'm sorry.
05:15 You won't be able to continue in Manila.
05:18 Ma, I asked for help for my business.
05:23 Auntie Lor agreed to let me live with her.
05:25 So, I won't have any more problems.
05:27 Everything is okay.
05:28 How will you spend that?
05:31 We already made a decision.
05:33 Ma, Pa.
05:36 We wasted our chance.
05:38 You're going to let us pass.
05:39 You'll definitely get in.
05:41 Anthony, remember your pride and confidence.
05:46 Remember that Manila is awesome and great.
05:50 Papa just lost his job.
05:52 I've been waiting for an opportunity for a long time.
05:56 What about you?
06:02 I'll fight for it.
06:03 Brother, if you lose hope, I won't.
06:07 I won't let Mama and Papa grow old.
06:10 They're still burning the copra.
06:13 I'll steal other people's clothes.
06:15 I'm doing this for us.
06:17 This is not just for me, but for all of us.
06:19 You're going there not for us, but for your dreams.
06:26 Do you understand?
06:27 Pa.
06:28 Pa.
06:33 Sell that for your needs.
06:35 Pa.
06:36 I'm importing this to you.
06:37 I'm not selling it.
06:38 What's more important to me is to fulfill my dreams.
06:43 Okay.
06:45 Pa.
06:53 I promise
06:57 I will sing in the entablado.
06:59 And I will dedicate my song to you.
07:03 To you and Mama.
07:06 I promise.
07:24 How brave and loving are his parents?
07:28 Anthony is a singer in Manila.
07:32 To fulfill his dream to be a famous singer.
07:38 [singing]
07:40 It's been three weeks.
08:04 [phone ringing]
08:06 Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord.
08:13 Here it is.
08:15 Here it is, Lord.
08:16 Thank you, Lord.
08:17 [phone ringing]
08:20 Hello.
08:26 Is this the one in GMA 7?
08:29 Yes.
08:32 Can I join the first screening?
08:34 Screening?
08:36 Why, son?
08:37 Are they still not calling you?
08:39 Pa.
08:43 They're not yet.
08:49 But maybe they can call me last.
08:53 Right?
08:54 Save the best for last.
08:55 Son, even if they haven't called for that contest yet,
09:01 it shouldn't be a reason for you to stop.
09:04 And to calm your mind.
09:06 Did you hear that, son?
09:09 Fight for the contest.
09:11 You too.
09:12 You can do it.
09:13 Yes.
09:15 Yes, Pa.
09:16 Ma.
09:17 Fight.
09:18 Son, take care.
09:21 Love you.
09:23 Take care, son.
09:26 You too, take care.
09:28 Bye.
09:30 Bye.
09:31 Hey, what's that?
09:36 What are you doing there?
09:37 You left the grill open?
09:40 Sorry, I didn't mean to.
09:41 You know, I've been trying to make you stay there for months because of your dream.
09:48 You're already making me feel bad.
09:50 It's better if you leave.
09:52 Aunt Lorna,
09:55 I don't have a place to stay.
09:58 And I don't know anyone here in Manila.
10:01 Maybe you can give me a chance to stay here with you.
10:07 You know, I don't feel sorry for you anymore.
10:09 You should leave.
10:12 Leave.
10:13 Aunt Lorna.
10:15 You should leave when I'm out.
10:16 Aunt.
10:17 After being sent away by the government,
10:24 Anthony has been living in a rented house.
10:26 Although he's poor,
10:29 he never stopped participating in the countless singing contests
10:35 from barangay to national competitions.
10:38 Excuse me, Miss March.
10:47 Yes, Ma'am.
10:48 Miss March, you can go home first.
10:49 Don't stay inside.
10:50 Okay, thank you.
10:52 Excuse me, good luck.
10:53 Good luck, March.
10:54 Ma'am, it's me.
10:57 What's the matter?
10:58 Sir Anthony, right?
11:00 Yes.
11:01 He said that we'll call you when you're accepted.
11:04 He'll call you?
11:06 Yes.
11:07 Okay, I'll go first.
11:09 Thank you.
11:10 Good day, I'm Anthony Rosaldo.
11:20 Didn't he audition for all of them?
11:22 Why is he still here?
11:23 You know what, I suggest we look for someone else first.
11:26 It's because I'm not good at auditioning, Sir.
11:29 Who's next on the list?
11:32 Call them first.
11:33 We'll call you later.
11:38 Thank you.
11:40 Thank you.
11:42 Call the next one.
11:43 Sorry.
11:44 Next, next.
11:46 Thank you.
11:48 You're welcome.
11:50 When you didn't win in the contests, how did that feel?
11:53 It drives me more to join again.
11:57 For me, it's like a goal for me that somehow I'll achieve something within that year.
12:03 Even if I don't win, I'll try again next year.
12:07 I've been auditioning for a long time.
12:11 When will I come back?
12:13 I waited.
12:15 My first appearance on TV, it's gone.
12:18 It's gone.
12:19 You know, we're all the same.
12:21 But you know, you should accept the offer from Sir.
12:25 Let's just band abroad.
12:28 You'll earn more there.
12:29 So you can help your family.
12:32 So, what do you say?
12:35 I'll go first.
12:36 Okay, okay.
12:37 Don't tell me you'll send there.
12:46 You'll send there.
12:47 Pa, Pa, what are you doing here?
12:53 Can I allow my chicken to fight on TV?
12:57 But it's gone.
13:04 You lost.
13:07 Sorry.
13:09 You know, when you should say sorry?
13:14 When you accept that crazy guy.
13:16 Coco.
13:19 It's like, Coco has a point.
13:27 You know, I want to give you a good life but I can't.
13:31 And I'm tired of repeating that I'm ashamed of myself.
13:37 To all those who rejected me, they think I'm just like this, Pa.
13:44 Just like this, there's no space in the industry.
13:46 It's a waste, there's no profit, nothing.
13:49 Maybe now, they may not see you.
13:55 And maybe they won't see if you give up right away.
13:59 Son, your dreams are here, son.
14:03 Not in other countries.
14:05 So, fight here in the field that's worthy for you.
14:12 Okay.
14:13 Pa, are you okay?
14:17 Despite the father's words, Anthony continued to fight in other countries in Asia.
14:26 Because of this, he was able to give his family a good life.
14:32 And these people were able to move back to Manila.
14:36 It's still raining, it looks like an emergency.
14:38 Okay, thank you.
14:39 Thank you.
14:40 Hello, Ma, you've been calling me for a while.
14:44 Why?
14:46 Son, your father.
14:50 Why, Ma?
14:52 What happened to your father?
15:01 Son, you know that I'm too O.A.
15:08 My tests results are already finished.
15:10 It's just a few cancer.
15:12 What?
15:14 Stage 4.
15:16 Stage 4?
15:19 Hello, son?
15:26 Hello?
15:28 Your son is gone.
15:36 Your son is gone.
15:37 I thought you were dying, that's why we were talking.
15:53 Why would I do that?
15:59 You're still good.
16:01 I'm not going to die.
16:05 Your dream is not yet fulfilled, right?
16:09 Son, when I'm already old,
16:13 and you're suddenly famous here in the Philippines, I'm really going to curse you.
16:19 How's your chemotherapy, Ma?
16:24 Your medicines?
16:30 You're like your son, I'll fight as much as I can.
16:35 Are you going home?
16:38 I might be able to be with my son who's a best singer.
16:43 I can't go home yet because I still need to earn money to get you a medicine.
16:54 We won't give up on you.
16:56 You'll fight, we'll still see each other.
17:00 Son.
17:01 We'll fight for you.
17:04 Go home.
17:08 Sing for me, here by my side.
17:13 I miss you so much.
17:16 I miss you so much.
17:20 I miss you so much, Pa.
17:26 When I get home, I'll sing for you right away.
17:30 Right by your side.
17:32 Brother, I'll send you my two months' salary. I'll save it.
17:50 Thank you, Anthony.
17:54 I'll leave the case to you and Papa.
17:56 Thank you.
17:58 Yes, brother.
18:00 Okay, I'll call you again.
18:03 R, Billy, Charles, I'm looking for my bag. Did you see it?
18:12 Did you see it?
18:14 I didn't see it.
18:15 No, I didn't see it.
18:16 No, it's not in the standby area. It's not in our room. I can't see it.
18:19 Maybe it's here. I didn't see it.
18:21 Maybe it's on the side. Is it not on the side?
18:23 I looked here earlier, but it's not here.
18:25 We checked the CCTV. I saw Coco.
18:29 She put your bag in her bag and she left quickly.
18:33 It's Coco. It's my money.
18:37 It's from my Papa's operation.
18:40 How did Coco do that? Aren't you close?
18:43 My Papa has cancer. Why did he take it?
18:51 How's my Papa?
18:53 You lost your 2 months salary.
18:57 You should have used it for your father's operation. How did that happen?
19:02 The drummer who's close to me in the band,
19:05 we saw on the CCTV that our drummer put my bag in his backpack.
19:12 What happened after that?
19:14 He ran away.
19:16 He ran away with your money?
19:17 He ran away.
19:19 Did he know that your father is sick?
19:20 No.
19:21 Pa, I'm sorry. I'm the only one who sent the money.
19:27 I didn't expect that.
19:30 Why are you the one who's in a bad position?
19:34 You're the one who's in a bad position, right?
19:38 I'll get mad at myself if we don't give you medicine.
19:42 I want to be with you for a long time.
19:49 I miss you so much.
19:50 You miss me? Then go home.
19:55 Where are we going to get your medicine?
19:58 I don't want to stay long.
20:03 Just go home.
20:09 Take me with you.
20:15 Don't say that.
20:17 Because you'll get better.
20:20 I'll do everything for you to get better.
20:24 Fight.
20:27 Fight for me.
20:31 Fight.
20:33 I love you, son.
20:36 I love you.
20:39 If you love me,
20:44 you'll fight.
20:45 You'll get better if you love me.
20:50 I love you so much.
20:54 In order to make his father's life meaningful,
21:03 besides traveling,
21:05 Anthony also worked as a host in Japan.
21:10 He didn't waste time and opportunity to go to every country.
21:14 That's why he agreed and saved for his father.
21:17 During my time in Singapore,
21:21 my cancer was terminal.
21:24 It was really hard.
21:27 Every night I performed,
21:30 I felt heavy inside.
21:33 Even if I'm sad, I need to be happy for my work.
21:37 Yes.
21:39 [Anthony's death was a tragedy.]

22:16 For your needs.
22:18 This is important to you.
22:20 No, no.
22:21 More important to us,
22:24 is to fulfill my dreams.
22:26 Okay.

26:23 Pa...
26:26 Pa, do you remember what I told you?
26:30 I promised you that...
26:37 one day...
26:40 I will marry you.
26:43 [sobbing]
26:45 This is that day.
26:54 Even if it's not on the end of the world,
26:59 I will still sing to you.
27:08 [singing]
27:26 [singing]
27:38 [singing]
27:53 Pa...
27:54 I will never...
27:59 leave you again.
28:05 Yes, Brad.
28:22 It's a good thing we're not in Japan.
28:24 You know, I got sick there.
28:26 No, I mean, my news is that our next contract is in Malaysia.
28:34 Yes.
28:39 Okay, okay.
28:41 Take care.
28:43 Brother.
28:49 Brother.
28:51 You know, your cough has been going on for a while.
28:53 It's nothing.
28:55 How about you?
28:59 Are you going back to the country?
29:01 Going back abroad?
29:03 Yes.
29:06 That's where I'm going to set my income.
29:10 Son.
29:19 Before your father died,
29:21 he didn't have a mouth,
29:23 but you left your dream here.
29:26 I just thought,
29:30 maybe you want to go back.
29:35 I don't know, but it doesn't seem like it's right for me anymore.
29:43 Why?
29:44 It's like I don't remember
29:53 being a singer here in the Philippines.
29:57 At least abroad,
30:02 there are people who are watching me, no matter what.
30:07 And the income is big.
30:11 But, brother,
30:13 when you were determined to leave Manila alone for your dreams,
30:20 I was ashamed to be your brother.
30:23 Because, to be honest,
30:27 I'm really scared of all that.
30:30 But, look at you.
30:33 You're not afraid to try,
30:36 even if you get beaten up a few times.
30:38 You're not afraid to be beaten up.
30:39 I know, Tol,
30:42 I'm not the best brother,
30:44 but I'm not afraid to go back to Anthony,
30:47 who is not afraid to fulfill his dreams here in the Philippines.
30:51 You're a rock,
30:55 and your brother is by your side.
30:57 I'm your father's proxy.
31:00 I'm your assistant.
31:03 I'll do everything for you.
31:06 I'll do everything for you.
31:07 You guys go ahead.
31:15 Anthony!
31:23 It's noon, your airplane will leave soon.
31:26 Brother,
31:33 where are you?
31:35 [coughs]
31:36 Oh,
31:39 where's your briefcase?
31:41 Brother, who told you that I'm going to the airport?
31:47 Huh?
31:49 Andy,
31:53 your brother will join you.
31:55 He will audition for the new singing contest in Itbulaga.
32:00 Huh? Really?
32:02 You want me to join you?
32:04 Of course, brother.
32:05 There's no other way.
32:07 I promise you,
32:12 your brother Andy will accompany you in all your auditions here in the Philippines
32:17 until you become the most famous singer.
32:19 Wow, really?
32:21 Fight!
32:23 Bye, bye.
32:25 Okay, go ahead.
32:27 Good luck, son.
32:29 We'll go home.
32:31 Bye, bye.
32:33 Bye.
32:34 Although Anthony is happy that his father passed away,
32:39 his brother Andy supported his little dream.
32:43 He was by his side when he joined
32:46 and became a finalist in the Itbulaga Spogify Contest.
32:50 Andy's support was complete when Anthony fought and won
32:54 the 2017 World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood, California
33:02 where he became an all-around assistant, driver, and cheerleader
33:07 when he became a grand finalist in The Clash.
33:12 What did you achieve in The Clash?
33:14 Top 6.
33:16 Looking back on all the hardships I've gone through,
33:19 at the end of the day, it's not the winning that counts.
33:23 After the competition, that's where the real fight is.
33:27 I still can't believe
33:31 you're going to a concert.
33:32 See?
33:34 While before, you were just drowning in a drum with water
33:37 while you were swimming all summer.
33:39 Oh,
33:43 Ma, Kuya,
33:46 I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for you.
33:49 Thank you, Ma.
33:52 Kuya, thank you.
33:54 It's nothing.
33:59 So, what's next?
34:01 Our next connection?
34:04 Wow, I'm a star!
34:06 I know, I know.
34:08 What?
34:10 You'll be the star of the last El Bimbo, the musical.
34:13 That's hard, Kuya.
34:15 You know, Ma, I heard about the auditions.
34:18 They're already 400.
34:20 It's impossible for me to get in.
34:22 And their requirements are singing, acting, and dancing.
34:25 I'm not good at that.
34:28 You think?
34:29 You don't know that yet.
34:30 I just believe that if you audition,
34:32 you'll have a fight with them.
34:34 Hey,
34:36 we always fight.
34:38 Fight!
34:39 Kuya Andy,
34:41 I used to bully him.
34:43 And now, he's pushing me.
34:45 He's my number one fan.
34:47 You're really my number one fan.
34:48 You know that, right?
34:49 Kuya,
34:51 Kuya!
34:52 Why?
34:54 Ma,
34:58 Kuya Andy!
34:59 After the series of X-rays, CT scans,
35:04 and spiritual cytology,
35:07 we regret to inform you that
35:09 we found cancer cells in your lung.
35:12 I'm sorry, but
35:17 the cancer cells spread to his lung.
35:20 So, it's already at stage 4.
35:24 Your lung cancer.
35:26 [sobs]
35:27 Doc, no.
35:35 This is not possible, Doc.
35:39 Why?
35:43 First, my husband, then,
35:46 now,
35:49 my son.
35:51 No!
35:53 [sobs]
35:54 Son,
36:00 we fought, okay?
36:02 Listen to me,
36:05 we fought.
36:06 We can do this, Doc.
36:10 We can do this.
36:11 Oh, my God.
36:12 What really happened to him?
36:17 Like my dad,
36:19 he was heavy on smoking.
36:21 He has a strong urinary tract.
36:22 Oh, so lung cancer?
36:23 So, he had lung cancer.
36:24 He had cancer?
36:25 Yes, last year.
36:26 How are you?
36:32 Here.
36:35 Still handsome.
36:37 That's a matriculation.
36:39 Of course.
36:41 Mission accomplished.
36:48 Here.
36:52 What's that?
36:53 Oh.
36:57 What's that on your side?
37:04 I auditioned for the LBIMBO.
37:10 I'm the red roll.
37:13 Huh?
37:15 [coughs]
37:16 Yes.
37:24 I told you.
37:26 I'm really impressed with your determination.
37:32 Thank you.
37:35 Because you made me realize
37:41 that there are things I can do
37:43 that I thought I couldn't.
37:48 I should be the one to thank you, Luz.
38:03 I'm sorry.
38:10 For the last part of my life,
38:12 you felt like a real brother.
38:17 But this,
38:20 what last part?
38:22 There's no last part.
38:23 Right?
38:26 It's like what mom and dad are saying,
38:30 it's just a battle.
38:32 That's why you'll fight.
38:34 Huh?
38:36 We'll fight.
38:38 Yes, we'll fight.
38:39 Look at this.
38:41 I'm fighting here.
38:43 That's why you'll fight.
38:48 Huh?
38:50 Fight.
38:51 Anthony worked hard and agreed
38:56 to be given medicine
38:58 and fight Andy's disease
39:01 until...
39:07 [sobs]
39:08 Brother.
39:10 Brother.
39:15 Brother.
39:17 [sobs]
39:19 Brother.
39:22 Brother.
39:24 [sobs]
39:26 Why?
39:28 Why?
39:30 Why?
39:32 Why?
39:34 Why?
39:36 Why?
39:37 [sobs]
39:40 Why did you do this?
39:42 [sobs]
39:44 Why?
39:49 You finally made it,
39:52 as one of the leads
39:54 after the last El Bimbo.
39:56 How did that hit you?
39:58 I'm grateful because
40:00 I'm used to losing.
40:05 I'm used to losing
40:06 and I don't have a spotlight.
40:08 But this gave me a break
40:10 from the last El Bimbo
40:13 and it feels good
40:15 because thousands are watching
40:17 every night.
40:19 The first time
40:21 we did a curtain call
40:23 on the opening night.
40:25 Yes.
40:27 I cried a lot
40:29 because it's surreal.
40:31 I can't believe it.
40:33 [sobs]
40:34 Ma,
40:47 I want to thank God a lot
40:52 because a lot of good things
41:00 happened in my life
41:03 and in our lives.
41:05 But I can't help feeling guilty
41:17 and hurt
41:30 because in the middle of all this happiness,
41:33 Papa is gone.
41:41 Brother is gone.
41:46 We can't be together anymore
41:59 because
42:00 I'll be the first one to say goodbye to you, Brother.
42:03 Son,
42:10 Kirot
42:17 will never be gone.
42:21 We'll just learn
42:25 that he's with us
42:28 in our lives
42:29 through all the pain.
42:33 But I hope
42:38 that somehow
42:40 there will be a little bit of hope
42:43 in your heart
42:46 and in the certainty
42:49 that they were happy
42:52 in the last part of their lives
42:54 because
42:57 you made them happy
42:59 for the fulfillment
43:01 of your dreams.
43:04 What would you like to share
43:26 that you learned
43:27 from your journey
43:29 that you told us, Anthony?
43:31 I, Auntie Mel,
43:33 I'm a believer
43:35 that if you want something,
43:38 you really have to work hard.
43:40 Don't give up
43:43 because by the time you feel defeated
43:45 and nothing will happen,
43:47 you're the only one who decides
43:49 that it's over.
43:51 If you want to move on,
43:53 you can still fight
43:55 and pray.
43:56 Even if you can't reach your dream totally,
43:58 at least you're a step closer
44:00 and you're still not defeated.
44:02 You're a winner for me.
44:04 Always believe that everything is given by God.
44:07 Congratulations to you.
44:09 Thank you, Auntie Mel.
44:11 And thank you very much for guesting in Magpa Kailan Mag.
44:13 Thank you, Auntie Mel.
44:15 Anthony is one of those who proves
44:17 that perseverance is a virtue.
44:20 He says that persevering
44:23 is the best virtue of man.
44:25 No matter how many times he's defeated,
44:27 no matter how many times he's lost
44:29 and distant from his loved ones,
44:32 he never gives up
44:34 his dreams
44:36 until he achieves them one by one.
44:40 I hope all of you,
44:42 even my Kamilenials,
44:44 hang in there when you have time.
44:46 While you're still young,
44:48 while you still have opportunities,
44:51 hang in there and you'll continue to win.
44:53 Not only to our Lord,
44:56 but to your own ability.
44:59 Now, tomorrow, and Magpa Kailan Mag.
