00:00 [Filipino Newsreel Narration]
00:28 Sandra Aguinaldo. Sandra?
00:30 Yes, Vicky Emil Atom, the experience of a shooting in Israel,
00:39 broke the heart of a family here in Pampanga.
00:44 I was able to interview Paul Vincent Castelby's parents,
00:48 and here is my report.
00:54 Yakap-yakap de Aling Lelina, the image of her son Paul Vincent Castelby
01:00 when we went to their house in San Fernando, Pampanga.
01:05 He's a picture because he can't be embraced anymore.
01:09 He can't be kissed anymore.
01:11 If he goes home to his parents, how can I embrace him?
01:15 He's gone.
01:17 Paul is one of the two Filipinos who died
01:20 in the attack of Hamas in Israel this Saturday.
01:24 Perhaps, there is no enough words to describe
01:29 the tragedy of Lelina for her son.
01:33 I can't imagine how they did this to my son.
01:39 He's such a good boy. He's so good.
01:44 There's no one like him.
01:46 They talk almost every day.
01:48 That's why he's looking for the way to embrace him.
01:52 When we're on video call, when he's about to say goodbye,
01:58 "Okay, Paul, love, love, madam, love, love, mama."
02:01 He's really like a mother.
02:03 So, every day, I'm saying, "Love, love, madam,
02:09 love, love, mama."
02:11 We're really like that.
02:13 Even though he says, "Love, love, ma,"
02:15 he's still like that to me.
02:17 Now, no one will say that to me.
02:19 He's gone.
02:21 It's hard to reach the level of empathy
02:29 of a mother who is in tears.
02:32 But she says she needs to be strong for Paul.
02:37 Whoever did this to him,
02:40 this brutal killing,
02:42 I know that God will take care of him.
02:46 And he doesn't have to worry
02:49 if his family is here.
02:51 I won't leave his son.
02:54 Because no matter how much I love him,
02:57 I will love his son.
03:00 That's all.
03:02 In what is called Kibbutz B'ri,
03:07 in the eastern part of Israel, near Gaza,
03:10 Paul's caregiver is in Destino.
03:13 This is where he takes care of his old patient
03:16 who is sick.
03:17 This is one of the places where Hamas first attacked
03:20 on Saturday.
03:21 In this drone video,
03:23 you can see what Kibbutz B'ri caught
03:26 after the attack of Hamas
03:28 and the subsequent invasion by the Israeli Defense Forces.
03:33 Many houses were destroyed.
03:35 Based on Israeli media,
03:38 around 100 people were killed by Hamas in this place.
03:42 No one knows about Paul's last moments,
03:45 but his father has a belief.
03:47 For me, by that time,
03:51 the Palestinians entered their place
03:55 and they were house to house.
03:57 For me, what he did,
03:59 he was able to escape his enemies,
04:05 the terrorists.
04:07 That's how his son behaves.
04:09 He's hopeful in times of need.
04:12 As breadwinner of the family,
04:14 Paul is also a witness of his parents and three siblings.
04:18 It's like we were cut by a foot.
04:23 We don't know what will happen in the future.
04:28 Paul has been a caregiver for more than 4 years.
04:32 To his father,
04:33 he was so happy,
04:35 he was given a ticket to go on vacation in the Philippines in December
04:40 with his wife and son,
04:42 who will be born in November.
04:45 Paul's only son,
04:47 who was brought up by a human,
04:49 he will not see.
04:51 He will not continue
04:53 the surprise return to his mother.
04:57 He said that when his mother talked to him,
05:00 he will not go home.
05:02 He will only go home with his wife and son.
05:05 That's when he wanted to surprise his mother.
05:08 Atom, according to Paul's family,
05:15 several government offices have contacted them
05:19 to give help.
05:21 But one of the main requests of the family
05:24 is for him to have a job and two of his siblings
05:28 to help their family.
05:30 Atom?
05:32 Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
