00:06:36 we can be together again.
00:06:39 I don't want to! I don't want to go home!
00:06:43 I know, Mommy. But just wait, just wait.
00:06:48 Don't worry. I won't let you go.
00:06:52 I don't want to go, Mommy!
00:06:54 I have to go, Roy.
00:06:57 I have to go.
00:07:01 Mommy!
00:07:04 I don't want to go.
00:07:06 What?
00:07:07 I don't want to go, Mommy.
00:07:10 I don't want to go, Mommy.
00:07:12 Even though Richelle was forced to leave her mother,
00:07:17 she couldn't do anything about it.
00:07:19 Meanwhile, Richelle's grandmother forced her to pick up the fruit that her mother left behind.
00:07:26 She was the second mother of Richelle.
00:07:31 [crying]
00:07:33 You're crying so much.
00:07:36 Here, I brought you some milk.
00:07:39 Drink it.
00:07:41 You don't want to?
00:07:45 Then don't.
00:07:47 Let's put it there.
00:07:51 There.
00:07:53 We'll drink milk later.
00:07:55 Hmm?
00:07:56 Hmm?
00:07:57 Why are you crying?
00:08:05 What's wrong?
00:08:08 Hmm?
00:08:09 Mom, is it my fault that Mommy left me?
00:08:17 Did I become bad?
00:08:20 No, you're not bad.
00:08:25 You're not bad.
00:08:27 Umm, there's nothing wrong.
00:08:32 It's not your mommy's fault, and it's not your fault either.
00:08:38 There's nothing wrong.
00:08:41 Why do we have to be separated?
00:08:45 Isn't a family supposed to be together?
00:08:50 All my classmates have their mom and dad, but I'm the only one who's not.
00:08:57 Don't be afraid.
00:09:11 Your mom is here.
00:09:15 I won't leave you.
00:09:18 I won't.
00:09:19 Come here.
00:09:24 Let's play hide and seek with Mommy.
00:09:26 It'll make you look better.
00:09:28 Come here.
00:09:29 Let's put this here.
00:09:33 Right?
00:09:35 Then,
00:09:37 Mommy will play hide and seek.
00:09:40 Let me see.
00:09:42 Here.
00:09:43 There.
00:09:46 That's enough, Mommy.
00:09:48 You look better.
00:09:50 There.
00:09:52 You look beautiful.
00:09:55 There.
00:09:57 You look beautiful.
00:09:59 You look beautiful.
00:10:09 Mommy.
00:10:11 Mom, why are you fixing me?
00:10:15 I know you, Mom.
00:10:17 If you're like this, you must have a plan, right?
00:10:20 Mom, what is that?
00:10:24 Surprise!
00:10:27 Oh, Mom.
00:10:30 Just a surprise.
00:10:33 Okay, Mom.
00:10:35 [laughs]
00:10:36 Mom, where are we?
00:10:48 Yes, Mom. Is this your house?
00:10:51 I won't answer your questions.
00:10:54 Richelle!
00:10:56 Mom!
00:10:57 Marie!
00:10:58 Mom!
00:10:59 I have a surprise for you.
00:11:03 What is it?
00:11:04 You'll live here.
00:11:05 We'll live together.
00:11:06 Your siblings are here.
00:11:07 Mom is here, too.
00:11:08 Really?
00:11:09 Isn't that what you want?
00:11:11 We'll live together?
00:11:12 Yes.
00:11:13 Mom, what's going on?
00:11:15 Mom, what's going on?
00:11:16 Let's go.
00:11:17 Hurry up.
00:11:18 Go to your new house.
00:11:20 That picture is still with you.
00:11:29 Yes.
00:11:30 Look at your childhood.
00:11:33 I still remember when I first saw this.
00:11:35 This is when we were laughing.
00:11:40 And then,
00:11:41 Kuya was so naughty.
00:11:43 What else?
00:11:44 You were so angry.
00:11:45 I tried to stop him, but he still didn't want to.
00:11:48 So, I said, "Okay, he's so naughty."
00:11:50 Do you know why I'm hiding this picture?
00:11:54 Because I thought,
00:11:56 one day, we'll be able to live together,
00:11:59 just like before.
00:12:01 We were so happy back then, right?
00:12:03 I'm so sorry, my dear.
00:12:05 I know I'm lacking a lot in you.
00:12:08 We need to be apart.
00:12:11 But I promise you, I'll make it up to you.
00:12:13 We won't be apart anymore.
00:12:15 Please forgive me.
00:12:17 Mom, you don't need to apologize.
00:12:21 Because I understand everything.
00:12:23 And what's important now,
00:12:25 we'll be together with mom,
00:12:28 Uncle Mike,
00:12:29 and my siblings.
00:12:31 Thank you for understanding, my dear.
00:12:34 Time flies.
00:12:36 You're so beautiful.
00:12:37 You're a girl now.
00:12:39 You can be an artist.
00:12:41 Mom, I want to be a singer.
00:12:46 You know, when I go to the mall,
00:12:50 when I see the cassettes,
00:12:54 I imagine myself.
00:12:57 For example, I cover cassettes.
00:12:59 I'm like my idol, Sharon Coneta.
00:13:02 Why not? You have a beautiful voice.
00:13:04 And there's no dream that won't come true if you're patient.
00:13:08 In mom's convincing,
00:13:10 Richelle agreed to join the Beautiful Girl Contest of Eat Bulaga.
00:13:16 And Richelle didn't hesitate to win in this competition.
00:13:20 Richelle also auditioned in That's Entertainment.
00:13:24 But she didn't pass.
00:13:26 Until she met the talent manager, Rading Carlos,
00:13:30 who helped her to join That's Entertainment.
00:13:33 This was the way for her to enter the world of showbiz.
00:13:38 She was known as Jessa Quintanar.
00:13:41 But at first, Jessa didn't become famous.
00:13:45 Sir, they're here, Jessa.
00:13:47 Continue.
00:13:49 Good afternoon.
00:13:51 Good afternoon.
00:13:52 Good afternoon.
00:13:53 Hello, sir Joey.
00:13:55 Please, have a seat.
00:13:56 I won't keep you waiting.
00:14:04 That's why I asked you to come here.
00:14:07 To offer a movie to Jessa.
00:14:14 Really?
00:14:18 Thank you, sir Joey.
00:14:21 Wait, let me finish.
00:14:23 The themes of the movies that are lined up for me are bold.
00:14:29 But I believe in your potential.
00:14:32 You have a great potential.
00:14:33 That's why you need to be able to accompany me.
00:14:38 Bold?
00:14:40 That's the trend now.
00:14:41 My grandson's image is not bold.
00:14:45 That's our selling point.
00:14:49 Jessa's image will mature from teeny bopper to sexy star.
00:14:55 And I believe in that because she's famous.
00:14:59 Sir, I don't want to make a movie that's bold.
00:15:07 Jessa, you don't know me.
00:15:10 Am I a fly-by-night producer?
00:15:13 I won't leave you.
00:15:17 Maybe you want me to give this offer to someone else.
00:15:24 Sir, Jessa will make the decision.
00:15:30 That's why I don't want my son to be a pig.
00:15:33 I assure you that your son won't be a pig in the movies that he will make.
00:15:38 The movies that I will make are not just bold.
00:15:43 I'm not a pig.
00:15:44 What do you say, Jessa?
00:15:48 Okay, sir.
00:15:56 Good.
00:15:58 Let's start with the complete repackaging.
00:16:02 Your name.
00:16:04 From now on, you will not be known as Jessa Quintanara.
00:16:11 You will be Jessa Saragosa.
00:16:14 Despite his arrogance, Jessa was forced to be in the movie.
00:16:22 [music]
00:16:40 Jeff!
00:16:42 What's up, Jessa?
00:16:44 Didn't I tell you that this scene is more passionate?
00:16:48 What are you doing? It's like you're a pig. You can't act.
00:16:51 Director, I don't think I can.
00:16:54 What do you mean you can't?
00:16:57 Didn't you agree to make this movie?
00:17:00 And then you told me that you can't.
00:17:03 Don't you trust me?
00:17:05 We haven't talked yet.
00:17:07 While you're taking off your blouse, I'm staring at you.
00:17:11 So when I watch that on screen, no one will see your body.
00:17:15 We've talked already. Don't you understand?
00:17:20 Director, I really can't.
00:17:23 Director, I think you're being too hard on my daughter.
00:17:27 You're making her take off her blouse.
00:17:29 I'm the director here.
00:17:31 I should be the one to follow you.
00:17:33 If you tell your daughter,
00:17:35 because she's famous because of this,
00:17:39 you'll thank me.
00:17:41 Oh my God!
00:17:43 Talk to her. I'm getting hot-headed.
00:17:48 I'll talk to her.
00:17:49 Jessa, what's the problem?
00:18:03 We've talked about this already, right?
00:18:07 Sir Joey, I really can't take off my blouse.
00:18:15 I can't.
00:18:16 Okay, let's do this.
00:18:25 Do what the director told you to do.
00:18:28 And I promise you that no one will see your body.
00:18:35 I just don't want this shooting to be a pack-up.
00:18:39 It will be a huge loss for me if we do a pack-up.
00:18:43 I already spent a lot of money.
00:18:46 So, everyone will pay for it.
00:18:51 So, Jessa, please.
00:18:55 Please.
00:18:56 But that promise didn't come true.
00:19:15 Until one day,
00:19:17 his sister discovered something.
00:19:19 Julian, right?
00:19:21 Oh, what happened to you?
00:19:24 What's happening to me?
00:19:25 I don't want to ask you.
00:19:27 Ask your sister.
00:19:29 What are you talking about?
00:19:30 You know what happened when you bumped into me at school?
00:19:34 Why?
00:19:36 My sister was being bullied.
00:19:37 She said I was a ball star.
00:19:39 My sister doesn't like it.
00:19:40 You know that, right?
00:19:41 Wait, what do you mean?
00:19:44 Can't you read this?
00:19:46 Look at that.
00:19:53 [sighs]
00:19:54 Hey, what's that?
00:19:58 Huh?
00:20:00 Nothing.
00:20:01 Hey, you shouldn't see this.
00:20:03 Wait a minute.
00:20:04 No, it's not.
00:20:05 I saw this first.
00:20:06 It's a ship.
00:20:07 [music]
00:20:30 Mom, they said you won't be able to go out.
00:20:34 I should have done that.
00:20:35 It's embarrassing.
00:20:36 Mom, calm down.
00:20:37 Don't be sad.
00:20:38 Oh, shit.
00:20:39 They said you won't be able to go out.
00:20:42 I don't know what to do.
00:20:44 My sister.
00:20:45 They said you won't be able to go out.
00:20:49 They put this on me.
00:20:51 Oh, shit.
00:20:53 Let's think about it.
00:20:56 I don't know what to do.
00:20:58 Let's think about it.
00:20:59 I'm embarrassed.
00:21:03 Jessa was so embarrassed when she went out to the market.
00:21:08 Because of this, Jessa avoided showing her face to the public.
00:21:12 She also experienced a severe depression.
00:21:15 But she can't avoid the media's attention that is always waiting for her every step.
00:21:24 I just said that.
00:21:26 Just wait for the album to be released.
00:21:28 And it's almost there.
00:21:30 Maybe next week.
00:21:31 Jessa!
00:21:33 I'm done with this.
00:21:34 Why did you go out just now?
00:21:36 Are you shy?
00:21:37 Are you afraid that you'll be seen again?
00:21:39 Is it true that you won't continue your movie?
00:21:40 You don't want to be bold?
00:21:41 You're going to be bald and you're shy.
00:21:42 What do you plan to do?
00:21:43 Until you see me in your next movies, will you be a nudity?
00:21:47 I used to be a sexy star.
00:21:48 You're still a sample.
00:21:49 Answer us.
00:21:50 Yes.
00:21:51 Answer us.
00:21:52 So that we can clarify.
00:21:53 You're a bold star.
00:21:54 Are you shy?
00:21:55 Enough!
00:21:57 Are you shy?
00:21:58 Let me go.
00:21:59 I'm begging you.
00:22:00 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:01 I'm begging you.
00:22:02 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:03 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:04 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:05 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:06 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:07 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:08 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:09 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:10 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:11 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:12 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:13 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:14 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:15 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:16 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:17 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:18 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:19 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:20 I don't want to do this anymore.
00:22:21 Are you okay?
00:22:34 I'm scared.
00:22:38 Of what?
00:22:41 Of Richelle.
00:22:43 She's been acting weird these past few days.
00:22:47 She's not talking to anyone and she's not leaving the house.
00:22:50 I know that.
00:22:52 She's not even talking to me.
00:22:56 Mom, what can we do?
00:22:59 Nothing.
00:23:04 She's the only one who can heal herself.
00:23:07 I think we should leave her alone.
00:23:17 Or maybe we should just stay by her side whenever she needs us.
00:23:22 I think we should just stay by her side whenever she needs us.
00:23:26 I'm sorry.
00:23:35 I'm sorry.
00:23:55 I'm sorry.
00:24:05 I'm sorry.
00:24:15 I'm sorry.
00:24:25 I'm sorry.
00:24:35 I'm sorry.
00:24:57 What was that?
00:24:58 What was that?
00:24:59 What was that?
00:25:00 What was that?
00:25:01 I think it came from Richelle's room.
00:25:03 Michelle! Michelle! Michelle!
00:25:05 Michelle!
00:25:07 Mike! Mike!
00:25:17 Mike!
00:25:19 Mike!

00:27:32 Jessa could not handle the heavy judgment of Showbiz about her sex in the movie.
00:27:39 So she ended everything by committing suicide.
00:27:46 But fortunately, she was saved and after a few hours in the emergency room, she was able to recover.
00:27:53 Don't do this again.
00:27:57 You scared me.
00:28:00 I'm sorry, Ma.
00:28:05 I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:28:12 It's just that I can't take it anymore.
00:28:18 I'm having a hard time.
00:28:23 I'm sorry, Ma.
00:28:28 Don't do this anymore.
00:28:31 You're apologizing for the sins that you didn't do.
00:28:37 You're going to regret it.
00:28:40 I'm sorry.
00:28:41 I'm the one who's to blame.
00:28:44 I shouldn't have allowed you to have a bald.
00:28:50 I shouldn't have been your mother.
00:28:53 I should have been the one who raised you.
00:28:56 But you didn't do it.
00:28:59 You're making me feel guilty.
00:29:02 Ma.
00:29:04 I'm so sorry.
00:29:05 Ma.
00:29:08 I'm sorry, babe.
00:29:10 You don't have to apologize.
00:29:12 It's not your fault.
00:29:14 We both became victims.
00:29:18 Don't apologize, Ma.
00:29:27 Ma, why are you doing this?
00:29:30 It's like I'm playing a game.
00:29:38 My dream is simple.
00:29:41 I just want to be a singer.
00:29:48 I want to show myself in a cassette.
00:30:00 I'm still pursuing my dreams even though I'm losing.
00:30:09 I'm doing everything.
00:30:12 I know, baby.
00:30:15 I know.
00:30:16 But why is this happening to me?
00:30:22 I don't know.
00:30:27 I'm so sorry for your questions.
00:30:29 But I want you to be strong.
00:30:33 You'll get through this, Rachel.
00:30:36 We're all here, Ma.
00:30:38 We're all here.
00:30:40 You can count on me.
00:30:42 You can't do this again, Rachel.
00:30:45 Meanwhile, Jessa stopped being an actress
00:30:48 after being diagnosed with a nervous breakdown.
00:30:54 She had to see a psychiatrist.
00:30:57 A few months later,
00:30:59 Jessa was back to normal.
00:31:02 Shell, do you remember your dream of becoming a singer?
00:31:05 I have a surprise for you.
00:31:07 What is it, Ma?
00:31:09 I got an appointment with Venice Aturno.
00:31:11 She's going to make an album.
00:31:13 You're so silly.
00:31:15 My dream was to become a singer.
00:31:18 You're still a kid.
00:31:20 Why don't you try?
00:31:23 You never know, you might succeed.
00:31:25 Bye.
00:31:26 Okay.
00:31:29 Have you been waiting for a long time?
00:31:31 How are you?
00:31:32 I'm fine.
00:31:33 I'm fine.
00:31:34 I just studied what your mom told me.
00:31:38 And I'm very excited that you're going to make an album.
00:31:43 Really?
00:31:47 Yes.
00:31:48 You're going to make an album for me?
00:31:49 Yes.
00:31:51 But we don't have a recording outfit yet.
00:31:54 We're going to release it soon.
00:31:56 So, it might take some time.
00:32:00 But I already have a lineup of songs for you.
00:32:04 In fact, I want to include the song "Bakit Pa".
00:32:10 [Music]

00:32:46 Sinong aking hahanapin?
00:32:50 Sino ang magpupuno sa'king paglalambing?
00:32:56 Jessa's album didn't come out right away.
00:33:00 But with the help of Aster Amoyo,
00:33:03 Jessa met Oily Ilacad and made some films in Octo Arts.
00:33:09 Not long after, Octo EMI thought that Jessa's album would be released.
00:33:15 Her hit single "Bakit Pa" became a huge hit.

00:37:29 You don't have to apologize.
00:37:31 It's not your fault.
00:37:33 We both became victims.
00:37:37 Don't apologize, Mom.
00:37:46 Mom, why are you like that?
00:37:49 It's like I'm playing with fate.
00:37:57 You know that my dream is simple.
00:38:00 I just want to be a singer.
00:38:07 I want to show myself in a picture on a cassette.
00:38:19 And in the contests that I'm participating in, even if I lose, I still do my best.
00:38:28 I'm doing everything.
00:38:31 I know, baby.
00:38:34 I know.
00:38:35 But why is this happening to me?
00:38:41 I don't know.
00:38:46 I don't know the answer to your questions.

00:39:44 That's right, Mom.
00:39:46 Okay.
00:39:48 Have you seen this?
00:39:50 It's okay.
00:39:52 It's okay?

00:43:18 Who is this?
00:43:19 Hi, Jessa.
00:43:21 This is Ding Dong.
00:43:22 Ding Dong Avanzado?
00:43:26 Yup, that Ding Dong.
00:43:30 Wait, how did you know my number?
00:43:33 And why did you call me?
00:43:35 You know what?
00:43:37 I just want to tell you that you really look beautiful and stunning wearing that beautiful red dress.
00:43:46 Huh?
00:43:49 How did you know my outfit?
00:43:52 Look behind you.
00:43:57 [Music]
00:44:02 Hi.
00:44:06 Hi.
00:44:07 How are you?
00:44:10 I'm okay.
00:44:12 You know what? I saw your show and I think you were great.
00:44:17 Salamat.
00:44:20 Oh, by the way, these are for you.
00:44:25 Jessa's hit single, "Bakit Pa" helped a lot to meet the celebrity that became her idol.
00:44:31 And because of this, Jessa became a phenomenal diva.
00:44:36 One by one, luck came into her life.
00:44:40 Including her own condominium unit.
00:44:44 And of course, the celebrity came with a new love.
00:44:51 And for Jessa, she found that in the body of another singer, Ding Dong Avanzado.
00:44:58 You're really something.
00:45:00 Okay, see you tomorrow.
00:45:03 Okay, you take care.
00:45:07 I miss you too.
00:45:09 Okay, bye-bye.
00:45:11 Who's that? Ding Dong?
00:45:15 Yes, mommy.
00:45:17 He's just acting.
00:45:19 I'm not interested in you, Rochelle.
00:45:21 But I hear a lot of bad things about women like Ding Dong.
00:45:27 Hmm.
00:45:30 Maybe he's not serious about you.
00:45:32 I mean, he's just a playboy.
00:45:35 Are you two on?
00:45:37 Why didn't you think about your career first?
00:45:43 Your career is getting better and you're going to have a boyfriend now.
00:45:46 Maybe he doesn't like you.
00:45:48 Maybe your fans don't like you to have a boyfriend.
00:45:50 Your career will be ruined.
00:45:52 But, mom, I love Ding Dong.
00:45:56 Rochelle, think about it.
00:45:59 I told you that he doesn't have a good reputation when it comes to women.
00:46:03 And I heard that he has a different kind of relationship.
00:46:06 What will other people say if you steal a man?
00:46:09 Your career will be ruined.
00:46:11 Mom, you haven't met the right person yet and you're judging me.
00:46:17 Give the benefit of the doubt to the person.
00:46:20 Maybe he has a pure intention to me.
00:46:23 And we talked.
00:46:25 He told me that he's not committed to any woman.
00:46:29 And I believe in that.
00:46:31 Mom, I followed you since then.
00:46:36 I followed everything you wanted for my career.
00:46:38 But I hope that now, mom, you'll let me make a decision for myself.
00:46:46 Let me choose who I want to love.
00:46:49 I don't want anyone to dictate me, mom.
00:46:52 I hope you understand that.
00:46:54 That's too soon.
00:46:56 Do you mean that you don't need me anymore?
00:46:58 Okay, don't be mad at me.
00:47:00 If that's what you want, then it's up to you.
00:47:01 Mom.
00:47:03 Is everything okay?
00:47:09 Yes, counselor. The caterer is here.
00:47:11 How about the string quartet?
00:47:13 They're also ready.
00:47:15 Good.
00:47:16 I don't want to make a mess here.
00:47:17 This is my surprise for Jessa's birthday.
00:47:20 I want this evening to be perfect.
00:47:22 I thought that was your big date with Ding Dong.
00:47:25 Why do you look like that?
00:47:27 It's because of mom.
00:47:30 We fought yesterday because of Ding Dong.
00:47:42 I just hope that she'll get to know the person before judging.
00:47:47 Don't think about your mom first.
00:47:50 You'll get mad at each other.
00:47:51 Wait, tell me about Ding Dong.
00:47:54 I told you, when Jessa comes, I want you to be excited.
00:47:58 I'm so excited, especially since it's my birthday.
00:48:03 Oh, sis. What is that?
00:48:05 I don't know.
00:48:07 Wait, there's a text.
00:48:10 Maybe it's Ding Dong.
00:48:12 He's probably following up.
00:48:14 I want to know where I am.
00:48:16 Wait, wait.
00:48:33 Hello? Where are you?
00:48:38 Don't wait for me. I won't come.
00:48:41 Huh? Why?
00:48:44 She texted me.
00:48:47 You know what, Han?
00:48:51 I don't want to be involved in this kind of situation.
00:48:58 I'm already having a hard time.
00:49:01 Jessa, I'm the one you trust.
00:49:04 My intention with you is pure.
00:49:07 Please, why is this happening?
00:49:10 I don't know. I don't know who else I trust.
00:49:14 Yesterday, mom and I fought because of you.
00:49:19 And then this happened.
00:49:22 Ding Dong, Han, I'm sorry.
00:49:29 But I don't want to see you first.
00:49:34 I want to think about it first.
00:49:36 Come on.
00:49:45 Come on.
00:49:46 Mom.
00:50:05 Drink this.
00:50:06 Drink it.
00:50:08 Mom, why did you do that?
00:50:13 I just want to be happy.
00:50:16 I just want to be simple.
00:50:20 I want to be happy but it's hard to achieve.
00:50:26 It's okay.
00:50:32 Mom, I'm heavy.
00:50:34 It's like everything is not working.
00:50:39 A lot of things are blocking me.
00:50:41 It's okay.
00:50:42 Mom, I don't understand him.
00:50:51 You can't understand me.
00:50:54 Mom, I really love Ding Dong.
00:51:05 So I don't care.
00:51:10 I don't care what other people say about him.
00:51:14 Whatever they say about his past,
00:51:19 because that's how he is to me.
00:51:21 He accepted me for who I am.
00:51:26 What I see is the goodness of his heart.
00:51:33 Mom, I fought him.
00:51:40 Why is it still like this?
00:51:42 It's like we don't want to share our fate.
00:51:46 That's why I'm here.
00:51:55 Because I understand you.
00:51:58 Mom, thank you.
00:52:04 You're always by my side.
00:52:07 Sometimes I feel like I'm alone without a friend.
00:52:13 Mom, thank you.
00:52:16 You're not alone. I'm here.
00:52:22 And I won't be gone from your side.
00:52:32 That's why you should understand your mom.
00:52:37 That's why your mom is like that.
00:52:42 Because she loves you.
00:52:47 She's just worried about you.
00:52:50 Your mom just wants the goodness for you.
00:53:02 [sniffles]
00:53:03 Jess, Jess, just a moment please.
00:53:13 Give me a chance to explain.
00:53:15 Wait.
00:53:17 Ding Dong, I don't want to see you anymore.
00:53:21 I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:53:24 So please leave me alone.
00:53:26 I'm just hurting more when I see you.
00:53:31 But give me a chance to explain myself.
00:53:33 I don't want this to happen.
00:53:35 I don't want to hear your explanation.
00:53:39 I don't want to be involved in this situation.
00:53:42 I'm getting involved in your mess.
00:53:44 I don't want you to get involved in this mess.
00:53:49 But...
00:53:51 Please, Ding Dong, just go.
00:53:54 Leave me alone.
00:53:58 But you're the one I love.
00:54:00 Look, if you don't want to hear me out,
00:54:06 if you don't want to hear my explanation,
00:54:08 then let me just give my birthday gift to you.
00:54:12 At least allow me that.

00:55:50 At the beginning of the 10th century,
00:55:53 Jessa's mother learned from her boyfriend Ding Dong.
00:55:56 But Jessa's love for Binata grew stronger.
00:55:59 This was also the reason for her mother's feelings for Ding Dong.
00:56:05 Meanwhile, Ding Dong and Jessa's relationship didn't get easier.
00:56:09 They didn't give up their intrigue.
00:56:12 Especially when the reporters tried to fight Jessa
00:56:16 and her so-called rival who was linked to Ding Dong.
00:56:20 Welcome back, my friends.
00:56:22 We're happy because this afternoon,
00:56:24 we're here to visit Ding Dong to clarify the issues about him.
00:56:28 Good afternoon, Ding Dong.
00:56:30 Good afternoon, Ms. Lolit.
00:56:32 And good afternoon to all of our viewers.
00:56:34 We're happy that you chose this to clarify the negative issues,
00:56:38 gossip, and intrigue about you two and Jessa.
00:56:41 What can you say about these gossips?
00:56:44 Normally, I don't appear in interviews,
00:56:46 especially when it's a girl.
00:56:49 You know, it's not good if a guy speaks,
00:56:54 especially if it's not good.
00:56:56 But the gossip now is that Jessa is a thief,
00:56:59 you're a two-timer, what can you say about that?
00:57:01 Yes, that's why I see that Jessa is a bit arrogant in the interviews.
00:57:07 That's why I decided to clarify some issues.
00:57:13 First of all, I want to say that I'm not a two-timer.
00:57:18 And second, Jessa is not a thief.
00:57:23 I came into her life.
00:57:25 How much do you love Jessa?
00:57:27 Maybe just like this.
00:57:29 I see in Jessa,
00:57:34 the qualities of a woman I want to be with for the rest of my life.
00:57:40 That's so sweet.
00:57:43 [music]
00:57:56 You haven't talked to your daughter yet.
00:57:59 Ma, I'm her mother.
00:58:02 I'm not the one who should be close to her.
00:58:04 She's the only one I protect.
00:58:06 I know that.
00:58:11 And she also knows about your son.
00:58:14 I know why you're fighting.
00:58:18 Because your son just followed what his heart says.
00:58:27 But he's not mad at you, okay?
00:58:30 I know that, Ma.
00:58:33 I'm happy that Ding Dong is protecting her.
00:58:40 I miss her so much, Ma.
00:58:41 I miss being with her.
00:58:43 Not long after,
00:58:46 the gossip about Jessa and Ding Dong's past relationship died.
00:58:51 Ding Dong and Jessa's love for each other grew deeper.
00:58:56 Ma?
00:59:01 Ma, just a moment.
00:59:06 Ma, ever since I was a child,
00:59:09 I've been imagining that I'll get married someday.
00:59:15 That I'll have my own family.
00:59:19 Isn't that my little dream, Ma?
00:59:24 You know that because I always tell you.
00:59:33 But Ma, what I can't say is,
00:59:36 whenever I imagine that,
00:59:41 you're always by my side.
00:59:46 Ma, you're the most important person in my life.
00:59:55 Ma.
00:59:56 Ma.
01:00:01 Ma, I'm sorry for all my mistakes,
01:00:05 for all my shortcomings.
01:00:08 I can't tell you how I really feel, Ma.
01:00:14 I don't want you to be absent from my wedding.
01:00:20 Will you forgive me, Ma?
01:00:27 There's nothing that I can't forgive him.
01:00:30 I can't be without him in my heart.
01:00:33 Mommy.
01:00:35 Mommy.
01:00:36 Ma, I feel nervous.
01:01:01 Am I doing the right thing?
01:01:04 You're doing the right thing, Michelle.
01:01:06 I know that I didn't like Dindong for you,
01:01:09 but ever since I met him, he's become a better person.
01:01:12 I'm the happiest mom in the world.
01:01:15 Thank you so much, Mommy.
01:01:21 You're so beautiful, my child.
01:01:26 Really, Ma? Am I beautiful?
01:01:28 You're so beautiful.
01:01:30 Come here.
01:01:32 I'll bring you to the man you'll be with for the rest of your life.
01:01:35 Finally, everyone was happy for Jessa and Dindong.
01:01:40 The grand wedding that Jessa dreamed of came true,
01:01:44 and they were accompanied by her mother.
01:01:47 But there's another tragedy that will come to their lives.
01:01:51 Jessa's beloved grandmother has a serious illness.
01:01:59 Mom.
01:02:00 Mom.
01:02:02 Mom, I'm here.
01:02:10 It's good that you came.
01:02:22 Mom, don't talk.
01:02:27 I'm not talking.
01:02:29 I'm not talking.
01:02:33 I'm not talking.
01:02:39 I'm not talking.
01:02:43 I'm not talking.
01:02:55 I'm not talking.
01:02:57 I'm not talking.
01:02:59 I'm not talking.
01:03:03 I'm not talking.
01:03:05 I'm not talking.
01:03:08 I'm not talking.
01:03:10 I'm not talking.
01:03:12 I'm not talking.
01:03:14 I'm not talking.
01:03:16 I'm not talking.
01:03:18 I'm not talking.
01:03:20 I'm not talking.
01:03:23 I'm not talking.
01:03:24 I know how important you are, Dindong.
01:03:32 I love you, Mom.
01:03:36 I love you, Mom.
01:03:43 I love you, Mom.
01:03:44 Mom.
01:03:57 Mom.
01:03:59 Mom.
01:04:01 Mom.
01:04:03 Mom.
01:04:05 Mom.
01:04:07 Mom.
01:04:09 Mom.
01:04:12 Mom.
01:04:13 Mom.
01:04:15 Hi, Mom.
01:04:40 We're here to bring you home.
01:04:42 You know what, Mom?
01:04:45 No matter where Mom is now,
01:04:48 I know she's happy.
01:04:50 I know that what Mom wants is for us to be together.
01:04:55 I'm also happy for you, Michelle.
01:04:58 Because I know you've been through a lot.
01:05:01 You always lose but you always fight.
01:05:04 So for me, you're the winner.
01:05:08 You know what, Mom?
01:05:09 I can't do all of that without you and Mom.
01:05:12 Uncle Mike, my siblings, and Dindong.
01:05:17 And even if Mom is not here now,
01:05:21 she will still be in our hearts.
01:05:24 And I know I'll be happy because
01:05:28 many people love me and you're here.
01:05:31 That's why I promise, Mom,
01:05:35 I'll do everything
01:05:37 to keep my family whole and happy,
01:05:40 no matter what.
01:05:42 Mom.
01:05:45 Mom.
01:05:47 Mom's girl.
01:05:48 Mom's girl.
01:05:49 Mom.
01:05:50 Mom.
01:05:51 Jessa, you've been through a crisis in your career.
01:05:55 Have you transcended that?
01:05:57 Yes.
01:05:58 You've been through a lot.
01:05:59 Yes, I have.
01:06:00 What does a woman feel when she goes through that?
01:06:04 My age.
01:06:06 I'm not yet 18.
01:06:07 Correct.
01:06:08 So it was really too much for me.
01:06:13 I can't handle it.
01:06:15 So I reached a point where
01:06:17 it's not right.
01:06:20 I wanted to end my life.
01:06:23 What was going on in your mind?
01:06:25 Can you tell us?
01:06:26 I feel like I'm dirty.
01:06:29 I feel like I have no hope.
01:06:34 My life is over.
01:06:36 There's no second chance.
01:06:38 Did you forgive those who did those things to you?
01:06:43 I realized that
01:06:44 there are also many good things that came to me.
01:06:48 So I put aside the bad things.
01:06:53 But of course,
01:06:54 one of the good things you're talking about is your family.
01:06:57 Yes.
01:06:58 When I was young,
01:06:59 that was one of my dreams.
01:07:02 To have a whole family.
01:07:06 I can say that I'm really blessed.
01:07:08 Even though a lot of bad things happened to me before,
01:07:12 I don't regret it.
01:07:14 What lessons can you learn from your life?
01:07:17 Try and try until you succeed.
01:07:19 The crisis, could that have been avoided?
01:07:21 Yes.
01:07:22 Don't think that you're always alone.
01:07:25 That you can't understand anything,
01:07:27 especially your family.
01:07:28 Because your family,
01:07:30 no matter what happens to you,
01:07:32 wherever you go,
01:07:34 in the end,
01:07:35 they're still your friends.
01:07:36 And also,
01:07:37 have a strong belief in God.
01:07:42 What is your ambition for your child?
01:07:45 To be a God-fearing person.
01:07:48 We want her to have a good life.
01:07:51 We want her to be happy when she's a teenager.
01:07:55 And when she becomes a mom,
01:07:56 we want her to have a future.
01:07:58 And we're thankful that you allowed us to use
01:08:03 a part of your life to serve God.
01:08:07 Thank you.
01:08:08 Thank you very much,
01:08:09 Sister Mel.
01:08:10 And to GMA 7 Kapuso,
01:08:12 thank you very much.
01:08:14 I really trust you.
01:08:16 And to you,
01:08:19 because your ambition is so beautiful.
01:08:22 I hope that our stories will spread
01:08:25 so that the teachings will be spread
01:08:27 and it will be an inspiration to other people.
01:08:29 Thank you very much.
01:08:31 Thank you very much.
01:08:32 Different hardships came in her life.
01:08:36 Jessa's belief in her own ability was not strong.
01:08:41 Now, with her husband, Ding Dong,
01:08:43 and her daughter, Jada,
01:08:45 Jessa is now able to live.
01:08:48 She really has nothing to ask for.
01:08:51 She just wants to be happy and to be a blessing to her family.
01:08:56 I am Mel Tiangco,
01:09:00 and this is the story of each one of us,
01:09:02 now, tomorrow, and forever.
