02:18 The doctor said that I need to get Erma a surgery.
02:21 I don't have that kind of money.
02:26 I only have seven thousand.
02:28 I thought it was just a normal delivery.
02:33 Don't worry. I'll take care of the expenses. I'll help you.
02:37 Eric, I'll help too.
02:40 Really?
02:43 Yes, Eric.
02:45 Thank you, Ate.
02:47 [Foreign Language]
02:49 Thank you.
02:50 So, the name Kurt Russell is already passed?
02:54 No one will take it anymore.
02:56 Of course.
02:58 Yes, Ate.
03:00 Kurt is already conditioned to name our baby.
03:03 You see, Erma.
03:05 It's like you're announcing to us that you're pregnant.
03:10 Now, you're already pregnant.
03:12 You're so beautiful, Grace.
03:15 Yes, I am.
03:17 And if you don't ask me, I'll introduce myself.
03:23 Oh, my.
03:25 So, what do we do?
03:27 We'll go first, Eric.
03:29 Erma.
03:30 Thank you.
03:32 We're not done yet.
03:33 Are you done, Ma'am?
03:35 You're taking a rest, right?
03:37 You're really full.
03:39 I'm reducing.
03:41 You can bring it.
03:44 Thank you for coming.
03:48 Grace, I'm going to marry you.
03:52 We'll be back.
03:54 Ate, thank you.
03:56 Bye.
03:59 [laughs]
04:00 [sighs]
04:03 I'm tired.
04:04 Are you tired?
04:05 My body is aching.
04:08 Maybe because I'm lying down.
04:10 It's likely.
04:11 I'm itchy.
04:13 What do you want me to do?
04:14 I want to massage your side.
04:16 Okay, I'll help you to position your side.
04:19 What?
04:23 Just do it.
04:24 What?
04:27 [sighs]
04:28 Why?
04:30 I can't move my body, Eric.
04:33 How can that happen?
04:35 Try to move your feet.
04:38 Your knees, and your...
04:40 this.
04:42 I can't move my shoulder.
04:44 Oh, my.
04:46 How can that happen?
04:47 I can't feel anything, Eric.
04:49 Are you sure?
04:50 I can't move.
04:52 Are you sure?
04:53 I can't move.
04:55 Try to move your feet.
04:57 I can't move.
04:58 Try to move your feet.
04:59 No, I can't feel anything.
05:01 Look, I can't feel anything.
05:03 Look, I can't feel anything.
05:06 Erma, don't panic.
05:08 [sobs]
05:09 Try to move your feet.
05:12 I can't move.
05:13 Look, I can't move my body.
05:18 What do you mean, there's no doctor on duty?
05:21 This is a hospital.
05:23 Is that allowed?
05:25 It's not even night, and they're not here.
05:28 Sir, you're under arrest.
05:30 What?
05:32 You can't do anything?
05:34 Can't you call that doctor?
05:36 Huh?
05:38 Will you let my wife go?
05:39 Sir, I'll call him.
05:41 Now, please, Mr. Mungkayo,
05:42 please calm down.
05:43 Other patients are getting anxious.
05:45 Okay.
05:46 Excuse me, sir.
05:55 We've already talked to your OB and anesthesiologist.
05:59 What did they say?
06:01 They're buying some medicine.
06:03 The neurologist will be here soon to examine Mrs. Is.
06:07 This is the name of the medicine that needs to be bought immediately.
06:12 Unfortunately, sir, it's not available in the drugstore downstairs.
06:16 I see.
06:17 Maybe, the other stores have it.
06:18 Okay, sir.
06:19 Thank you.
06:20 Let's check this medicine.
06:23 You're going to be here tonight?
06:26 Maybe, tonight.
06:29 There are many shops open tomorrow.
06:31 If I stay here, I'll be alone.
06:34 Yes, you need this medicine.
06:37 It won't take long.
06:38 Okay, then.

07:35 How much is it?
07:36 It's 900, sir.
07:38 900?
07:39 Yes.
07:40 That's expensive.
07:41 Here, I have this.
07:42 Sir, you need 6 of these.
07:45 So, 900 for one.
07:47 So, 5,400, sir.
07:49 That's expensive.
07:51 It's not enough.
07:52 I'm short of money.
07:53 I need 6 of these to take to the hospital.
07:56 Here, sir.
07:57 Here.
08:00 He had a little money.
08:02 He almost paid Eric's medical bills.
08:06 Until...

08:24 [indistinct chatter]
08:26 [indistinct chatter]
08:28 Mister?
08:38 Are you okay?
08:41 I'm one of the concierges here in our area.
08:47 Are you from here?
08:49 I think I've only seen you here recently.
08:53 I thought I could help you.
08:55 I'm sorry.
09:01 We couldn't do it.
09:02 Thank you very much, Ms. Hala.
09:05 This is a big help to us.
09:07 I'm sorry.
09:09 Thank you again.
09:10 For the sake of the couple,
09:13 Eric didn't hesitate to accept help from an unknown person.
09:19 But this is not the end of his family's story.
09:23 In order to find a cure for his illness,
09:25 Erma was transferred from Batangas Hospital to the Philippine General Hospital.
09:31 But after a few weeks, he was sent home.
09:34 And even though he attended many therapy sessions to get better,
09:40 nothing happened.
09:42 I'm afraid.
09:44 Mr. Mungkayo's wife's condition is permanent.
09:47 She's not well.
09:48 What do you mean?
09:51 At the rate that things are going,
09:53 or based on the absence of response of your wife's nerves,
09:57 despite the medicines and therapy we're doing for her,
10:03 it will probably take a long time, or worse,
10:07 as long as she can't walk.
10:10 Why do you have to do this to my wife?
10:12 [gunshot]
10:13 [sobbing]
10:17 But not just any medicine can cure Erma's illness.
10:33 [music]
10:35 Ma'am, you're the ones who are doing this.
10:53 Oh, Erna, you shouldn't worry about anything.
10:57 Just watch TV.
10:59 Go ahead and rest.
11:00 And we'll take care of everything here.
11:02 It's good that you're not going to cry.
11:06 And even if you put it in a crib, you won't be afraid.
11:09 You might fall.
11:11 And it won't hurt.
11:13 That's true.
11:15 Do you know that in our place, the new mothers,
11:18 the children are only a week old.
11:21 Yes, Ate.
11:23 Look, she's really healthy.
11:24 I don't have any problems with her.
11:28 I was delayed for a week, but it's normal.
11:31 She's healthy and really smart.
11:32 That's why I don't understand what's happening to me.
11:35 My pregnancy is healthy.
11:40 I'm taking care of the check-up.
11:42 Of course, I'm a nurse.
11:43 I know what's healthy and unhealthy.
11:45 That's why I really don't understand what's happening to me.
11:48 I'm just thinking about the hospital that Eric brought me to.
11:53 I'm doubting the capacity of that hospital.
11:56 Maybe if Eric didn't bring me there, I wouldn't be like this.
11:59 Because of the trials that were facing,
12:01 it wasn't easy for Eric and Irma to get together.
12:05 What are you saying?
12:08 Is it my fault that you're like this because they brought you to that hospital?
12:12 It's true.
12:14 My pregnancy is fine.
12:15 Until you brought me to that hospital, that's why I'm like this.
12:18 It's my fault.
12:20 It's all my fault.
12:21 Why did you force me to go to that hospital?
12:26 Because of the hospital's trials, you forced me to go there.
12:29 If you had listened to me earlier,
12:30 if you had left your job earlier,
12:33 you might not have this kind of complication.
12:35 You'll get your revenge from me.
12:37 I want to slap you, but...
12:39 What?
12:41 What do you want to tell me?
12:42 What?
12:44 What do you want to do to me?
12:45 Irma felt her condition worse.
12:50 And even though she fought,
12:52 her brain was slowly weakening.
12:55 Especially that she couldn't do her responsibilities and duties as a housewife.
13:02 Bye.
13:03 Mummy!
13:24 Mummy!
13:27 Mummy!
13:31 Irma!
13:32 What's wrong?
13:34 What's wrong?
13:37 What? Are you sick?
13:39 You're crazy!
13:41 Why did you have to go home?
13:43 Maybe you have someone else to love.
13:46 I'm blaming your husband.
13:48 Shut up!
13:50 I told you that I'm in the office.
13:53 There's a Christmas party.
13:55 Do you think I'm just happy there?
13:59 I just want to send a gift.
14:02 Any gift.
14:04 I'm being treated poorly.
14:06 What do you think?
14:08 If I buy anything for me,
14:11 or my stuff,
14:13 or my clothes,
14:14 I'll remember you.
14:16 I hope that before you go crazy, you'll think about it.
14:21 You'll see.
14:23 You're still crying.
14:25 Stop it.
14:27 I'm your husband, your useless husband.
14:29 You're the one who said that.
14:31 Do you want to break up with me?
14:34 Okay, break up with me.
14:36 Do you want to break up?
14:39 Do you?
14:42 [music]
14:56 You see?
14:58 The truth came out.
14:59 Do you want to break up with me?
15:01 I don't want to.
15:03 I want to die.
15:04 She's like a child.
15:05 I don't want to.
15:06 She's like a child.
15:07 She's listening to you.
15:08 I don't want to.
15:09 I want to break up.
15:10 I don't want to.
15:11 I don't want to be with you.
15:13 I don't want to.
15:15 Mommy.
15:17 I'm so sorry.
15:25 Mommy loves you.
15:37 Mommy.
15:38 I hope you understand what I'm about to do.
15:44 I'm sorry.
15:46 I'm weak, Mommy.
15:49 I hope one day,
15:54 you'll understand what I'm about to do.
15:59 Don't leave Daddy, okay?
16:05 Love Daddy.
16:06 Remember, he's not to blame.
16:09 He's not to blame.
16:11 Mommy!
16:23 Mommy, wake up!
16:25 Mommy!
16:27 Mommy!
16:29 Mommy, wake up!
16:32 Mommy, wake up!
16:34 Mommy, wake up!
16:35 Mommy, wake up!
16:37 Mommy!
16:40 Erma!
16:41 Erma!
16:43 Erma!
16:45 What's wrong?
16:46 Erma!
16:48 It was too soon for Eric to find his wife at Paranaque Medical Center.
16:53 But despite the rescue and the death,
16:57 it wasn't easy for Erma to face the trials she was trying to escape.
17:03 If there's anyone who can give her hope,
17:07 it's none other than Kurt, her only son.
17:10 But despite the little happiness Erma received from her son,
17:15 the trials in their lives still came one after another.
17:19 Okay, okay, carry on.
17:23 Carry on.
17:25 Carry on, we're going to fall.
17:26 Thank you, Dad.
17:29 Let's go home.
17:30 We're going home, right?
17:34 Eric, why?
17:43 This is so weird.
17:45 Why does it feel like someone changed?
17:49 Who changed it?
17:50 I don't know.
17:52 Mrs. Santiago.
17:54 Mrs. Santiago, what happened?
17:58 What happened?
17:59 Oh, Eric, I gave you so much time,
18:03 but it's been months and you still haven't paid me?
18:06 Mrs. Santiago.
18:08 Go find another place to live.
18:10 And I don't want to see your faces anymore.
18:12 Despite all these events,
18:17 the couple was able to get a house in Laguna through love.
18:23 [car engine]
18:25 Eric, can we pay for this house?
18:34 We need to be positive, Erma.
18:37 A new house, a new life.
18:40 Let's forget the bad things that happened to us.
18:45 But this is a big adjustment for you.
18:48 This is far from your job.
18:50 Erma, we've talked about this, haven't we?
18:53 It's best if we pray that our life here will be better.
18:59 Maybe, so you can be free,
19:03 it's best if I build you a small saris store here.
19:09 You need to change your diaper.
19:18 Huh?
19:19 As Kurt grew up,
19:22 he saw a different kind of intelligence and taste for his age.
19:27 He started to learn from the simple orders of his parents,
19:32 until he himself took care of his mother.
19:35 Eric's daughter became a partner in Erma's case,
19:39 especially when she was not at home and was looking for a job as a taxi driver.
19:45 And because Kurt and Erma are more often together,
19:49 that's how close the mother and son became to each other.
19:53 Are you excited about your entrance today?
19:55 Huh? Huh? Kurt, Kurt boy, Kurt boy.
19:58 Daddy, can I play there?
20:03 You can't play there, you'll learn a lot there.
20:06 Go get your bag from the living room.
20:09 Wait a minute.
20:12 Erma, are you okay?
20:16 Erma, what's that?
20:25 What's that? Why are you sad?
20:31 I'm annoyed with myself.
20:34 I can't even bring my own child to school.
20:40 Erma, Kurt goes to a lot of schools.
20:44 And you're still sad?
20:47 I want to see his school.
20:50 I want to see his room.
20:53 I want to see him playing with his classmates.
20:57 I want to see him sharing his snacks.
20:59 I want to see it. I want to see it.
21:02 I'm so annoyed.
21:05 [sobs]
21:07 [sobs]
21:11 Kurt.
21:13 Mommy, don't worry.
21:16 I'll tell you when I get home.
21:19 Promise, son?
21:22 Promise.
21:24 Kurt, son, wait.
21:34 Daddy will go to work. I'll leave you here.
21:37 Are you leaving?
21:39 Yes, I'm still busy.
21:41 And you're a big boy now.
21:43 Don't be like the other kids who are always clingy to their mommy and daddy.
21:48 You can do it yourself, right?
21:50 Kiss daddy.
21:52 I'll go now.
21:56 Bye, daddy.
21:58 [music]
22:25 You're not going to sit down? I'm already sitting there. Get out.
22:28 Get out of here.
22:31 What are you looking at?
22:34 Get out.
22:36 Get out.
22:49 Psst. You're here.
22:52 [music]
23:01 So, you're Rica? What's your name?
23:05 I'm Kurt.
23:07 Kurt, let's play a game of swing.
23:17 We're going home early.
23:20 I can't because nobody will look after my mommy.
23:24 Just for a while.
23:26 I really can't because my mommy is pitiful.
23:31 Okay.
23:33 [music]
23:40 Unlike other kids, Kurt's mind is not just about playing and studying.
23:46 At a young age, he has a lot of responsibilities in life.
23:50 From taking care of his mom, to going to the market.
23:54 Sometimes, Kurt doesn't even remember the duties that were assigned to him since he was born.
24:01 Because of his over-responsibility, sometimes, he forgets that he's still a kid.
24:10 [music]
24:13 Eric?
24:18 Yes?
24:20 Where's Kurt?
24:22 Kurt? He's not here.
24:25 I thought he was with you.
24:27 You thought I was... Where's Kurt?
24:30 Find him. I don't know. He's missing. Hurry up.
24:33 Maybe the kid found him. Find him.
24:36 Kurt?
24:39 [music]
24:40 Kurt?
24:42 Where did you come from?
24:44 From Joseph.
24:46 Who's Joseph?
24:48 The new transfer from the neighbor.
24:50 Eric?
24:53 I thought you're still learning how to be a good neighbor.
24:54 Eric, don't.
24:56 Come here. And when you learn how to read, give me the kid.
25:00 Give me the kid.
25:02 Don't! Eric!
25:04 I told you to leave.
25:06 Eric!
25:08 Eric, don't!
25:09 Eric!
25:11 I told you to leave!
25:13 Eric!
25:15 Don't!
25:17 Don't leave me!
25:19 Eric!
25:24 Son.
25:27 Are you happy?
25:31 I don't want to hurt you anymore.
25:36 We're afraid that you might lose us.
25:39 We love you so much.
25:42 I'm sorry, Daddy.
25:44 I'm sorry.
25:47 It's not that we don't want your childhood to be normal.
25:51 We don't want that.
25:54 We need...
25:56 I know you have a lot of responsibilities as a child.
26:05 We're happy for you.
26:06 I'm not angry, Daddy.
26:11 I'm okay.
26:13 Thank you, son, for understanding.
26:16 Just...
26:18 If Daddy is gone, you'll be the one to take care of Mommy.
26:22 Don't ever leave again.
26:26 Thank you, son.
26:33 [music]
26:34 Son, come here for a minute.
26:43 I just want to thank you, Kurt.
26:51 Because you're still a child.
26:54 You have a lot of responsibilities here.
26:57 It's okay, Mommy.
27:01 Mommy,
27:02 can you really walk?
27:05 Because when I gave birth to you, I was sick.
27:10 But it's not your fault, son.
27:12 You have no fault in that.
27:14 Mommy, can you still walk?
27:18 I don't know.
27:20 Maybe yes.
27:22 Maybe not.
27:30 Son,
27:31 what are you thinking?
27:33 What I'm thinking when I grow up,
27:36 I want to be a doctor
27:38 so I can cure you.
27:41 But while I'm not a doctor yet,
27:46 I'll save money
27:50 so I can buy a big car.
27:53 What car?
27:55 I'll drive you
27:58 and I'll take you to the church.
28:00 Mommy,
28:02 where do you want to go to the church?
28:05 I want to go to your school.
28:09 I want to see where you're studying.
28:12 I also want to go to the park
28:15 so I can catch some fresh air.
28:18 And most of all,
28:21 I want to go to the church
28:23 so I can see where you're getting married.
28:28 Don't worry, Mommy.
28:30 We'll be together
28:32 until we grow up.
28:35 Kurt.
28:45 Kurt, son.
28:49 Kurt.
28:52 Go to sleep.
28:56 Daddy, I'm waiting for you.
28:58 Go to your room.
29:01 Daddy,
29:03 eat your food.
29:05 I prepared it.
29:07 Son,
29:16 you know what?
29:18 I'm so lucky
29:20 because I have a son like you.
29:24 He's handsome.
29:25 That's all.
29:27 He's kind and responsible.
29:30 Thank you.
29:33 Thank you so much.
29:35 Daddy,
29:36 why don't you let Mommy go to church?
29:40 Because she's sad.
29:43 Did she tell you that she's sad?
29:47 I just saw her.
29:51 [sad music]
29:53 You know what, Daddy?
29:58 I don't want Mommy to be sad
30:01 because
30:03 she's pitiful.
30:06 Can't we just spend a day without fighting?
30:16 I'm always at fault.
30:19 You're always finding my faults.
30:21 You don't understand
30:22 that we've been here for days and nights.
30:24 That's why we built a store there
30:26 so you won't feel hot.
30:27 Kurt.
30:31 Kurt.
30:47 Kurt.
30:48 Kurt.
30:49 Where are you going?
30:51 Where are you going?
30:53 Why do you always fight with Mommy?
30:57 Don't you love Mommy?
31:01 Son,
31:03 I love Mommy.
31:06 I love you too.
31:08 We're just human.
31:11 I'm sorry.
31:13 [sad music]
31:15 Kurt! Kurt!
31:24 Mommy, this is my friend, Kurt.
31:26 Hi, Kurt. I heard you're a good boy.
31:29 Yes.
31:31 You look sad.
31:32 I know.
31:34 So you won't be sad,
31:35 come with us.
31:36 We'll eat out.
31:37 Do you want to?
31:38 No, I'll go alone.
31:40 I'm going home.
31:42 Okay, bye.
31:43 Son, where do you want to eat?
31:46 At the store.
31:47 Okay, let's go.
31:48 Let's eat.
31:53 Again?
32:08 I'm sorry.
32:11 I'm not good at cooking.
32:13 You're not good at cooking,
32:16 you don't know how to cook,
32:17 or you don't know how to budget.
32:19 I'm already struggling to earn money.
32:23 Eric,
32:25 don't be too loud.
32:28 Kurt will hear you.
32:29 You're so bad at worshiping.
32:32 You think I'm wasting your money?
32:34 Why don't you always give me food?
32:36 Hey,
32:38 is the money you're giving me good?
32:40 Don't make the food hot.
32:42 You say your food is bad
32:44 because your taxi is broken
32:46 and you don't have money to repair it.
32:47 Because you're new.
32:52 That piece is expensive.
32:53 Then, the truth will come out.
32:56 So don't worship me
32:58 those budget things.
32:59 If not, I'll worship the money you're giving me.
33:02 I don't want to stay in this house anymore.
33:04 I'm only worshiping you.
33:06 It's better to leave this house.
33:08 I'm not going to stay here.
33:09 Irma's stubbornness
33:12 is not the only thing that worries Eric's condition.
33:16 In the days that God has made,
33:18 we always fight.
33:21 He has a fault.
33:24 But I admit,
33:26 my fault is also big
33:28 because of my insecurity.
33:31 Insecurities?
33:33 Mare,
33:35 oh my,
33:36 it's good that your husband is still faithful to you until now.
33:40 Yes,
33:42 maybe because of my cousin,
33:45 everything that comes to my mind,
33:48 I'm thinking that maybe
33:50 he doesn't want me anymore.
33:51 Maybe he has someone else.
33:53 Maybe he's tired of me.
33:55 Maybe he doesn't want to go home.
33:56 Oh, my.
33:58 Because if you're fighting,
34:01 the child can hear you.
34:03 I'm ashamed to admit it,
34:05 but yes, I know that he can hear.
34:08 I feel sorry for him because he's affected.
34:12 He does a lot of things here in the house.
34:14 All of his responsibilities,
34:16 the pain that he still hears when his father and I fight.
34:20 He's really affected
34:22 and it's not good for the child.
34:25 Kurt,
34:26 where's your dad?
34:27 I still have LBM.
34:29 It's already late.
34:30 I'll just get the arenola.
34:33 Son,
34:35 you shouldn't be doing this.
34:38 It's okay, Mommy.
34:41 I'm sorry, son.
34:43 I'm sorry.
34:46 I'm sorry.
34:48 I'm sorry.
34:50 I'm sorry.
34:53 I'm sorry.
34:54 I'll just get the arenola.
34:58 Daddy's not home yet.

40:41 Hello!
40:42 Come here, come here.
40:43 A kiss.
40:44 Why are you just sitting there?
40:54 Erma, don't make the child angry.
40:58 You're just like your father.
41:02 You're tired of taking care of me.
41:05 That's why you're both refusing to come home because you know you'll just take care of me.
41:11 Come here!
41:12 Come here!
41:13 Erma, don't!
41:26 Kurt, I'm sorry.
41:28 Go to your mom.

42:34 Mother's Day.
42:35 It's only March now.
42:38 How will they know about our story?
42:43 Daddy, do you want to have an interview?
42:58 You decide.
43:02 Not long after, Eric and Erma agreed to have an interview with GMA7.
43:07 They didn't know that this was for the program, "Wish Ko Lang."
43:12 They shot the next day, and the staff of the program said that a friend wished for them.
43:23 Mazel, is this true?
43:26 They said that my mother's friend.
43:30 I can't think of anything.
43:32 You're my mother's friend, Grace.
43:34 Okay, I'll admit it.
43:37 But, Erma, don't worry.
43:39 It's for the child.
43:40 It's a blessing.
43:42 Nothing to worry about.
43:43 Of course, I won't get in your way.
43:46 Okay.
43:49 Kurt, we'll go ahead and get going.
43:56 If there's a shooting, you'll be the one to be in charge.
43:59 Okay?
44:00 We'll teach you.
44:02 Go ahead and get the child.
44:04 Okay.
44:05 This is Kurt's story.
44:15 At 7 in the morning, the 7-year-old child is already awake.
44:24 He will open their small store.
44:28 He will arrange the groceries.
44:29 And his day has already begun.
44:32 He will soon change his mother's diaper.
44:36 He has arranged his love.
44:38 He is waiting for the things he used to throw away.
44:41 This is his daily scene.
44:44 We're going to Kurt's house now.
44:48 And look, I have a big gift for him.
44:51 Because we heard that he has a favorite toy.
44:54 So, now is the time to start the next surprise for him and his family.
44:58 Hi Kurt!
45:03 I'm Ate Vicky.
45:05 And did you watch the show "Bishka Langat"?
45:06 Irma is very surprised.
45:08 Oh, my!
45:11 Kurt is quiet.
45:14 And when I asked him,
45:16 he replied with tears.
45:19 He is holding his mother's hand tightly.
45:22 One by one.
45:23 Even me, I'm holding my mother's hand.
45:26 Three days have passed since I gave my wish.
45:32 The wish of a friend for the Mungkayo family.
45:36 Here, they experienced their problems, even for a moment.
45:42 Inside the car, they are about to return.
45:45 It seems that they have already slept.
45:47 Oh, there's a cat!
45:50 And inside their new store,
45:52 Eric and his wife are excited to go inside the house.
45:55 They are very surprised with the amount of gifts that they received.
45:59 Dr. P Adult Diapers' 3-year supply for Irma.
46:06 Not only a robot,
46:09 but also a mountain of toys from United Toys
46:13 are waiting for Kurt.
46:15 And the old, old-fashioned store,
46:19 has been added.
46:20 Kurt, we at Filamplants,
46:22 we want you to have a good future.
46:26 This is Kurt, the Filamplants,
46:28 From now on,
46:30 Kulot's education in the college is assured.
46:32 Because of the "Pangako Education Plan",
46:34 they will not have to worry anymore.
46:36 You can go to college, even if mommy is not around,
46:39 you can still study.
46:41 It's a big help to us,
46:46 to the child.
46:48 [Music]
47:12 The "Rigalong College Plan"
47:14 is a program for Kurt.
47:17 The only thing that can pass until now,
47:18 is to make Irma cry.
47:20 She is very thankful for this,
47:22 because she said that they can't afford to get married.
47:25 She gave Kurt all of her needs,
47:28 especially a good future,
47:31 which is something that makes her feel heavy as a mother.
47:35 But it seems like there's no end,
47:38 the surprises that were brought to them.
47:40 Because the next day,
47:42 the whole family was brought to the taping
47:45 of the famous telephantasia of GMA 7,
47:48 "Dana".
47:50 Dana!
47:52 In the vast majority of people in the world,
47:57 or in the Philippines only,
47:59 we were not chosen to experience the blessings of these past few days.
48:05 I thought it was over already,
48:10 but there are still many gifts,
48:13 important to all of us,
48:14 that we were able to get an educational plan for Kurt.
48:17 I told you already,
48:25 Kurt is the blessing in our lives.
48:28 But because of him,
48:31 Marcel is not old enough to write in my wish.
48:42 I feel sorry for Kurt.
48:44 He should be enjoying his childhood,
48:49 but he has a huge responsibility.
48:52 Eric,
48:58 I want you to know,
49:03 that our son will be very happy because of your teaching
49:10 and your walk in this family.
49:12 Everything is up to me.
49:17 You too.
49:20 You are my reason why we can raise Kurt properly.
49:26 I hope you can forgive me.
49:31 For the times that I always shout at you,
49:38 for the times that I always speak ill of you,
49:41 forgive me for the times
49:47 that I forget your sacrifices for us.
49:54 For the times that I have given you all of my bad love.
50:03 Forgive me, Eric.
50:05 For the times that I have forgotten
50:14 the promises I made to you
50:18 that I gave you when we got married.
50:21 Forgive me, Eric.
50:28 I don't want to say this again.
50:36 I love you so much, Eric.
50:42 For the hard times that we had,
50:49 for our weakness and our weakness,
50:57 for our weakness and our happiness,
50:59 this will not change.
51:09 No.
51:11 I promise you,
51:14 we will get through this, Mommy.
51:23 I love you.
51:24 I love you.
51:25 I love you.
51:27 I love you.
51:29 I love you.
51:31 I love you.
51:33 I love you.
51:34 [sobbing]
52:02 Mommy, Daddy, I love you so much.
52:06 We love you so much.
52:11 [kiss]
52:13 [sobbing]
52:15 We love you so much.
52:17 Kurt, how are you now?
52:35 After your wish,
52:36 did a lot of people recognize you?
52:38 A lot.
52:40 A lot?
52:41 What do they tell you when they recognize you?
52:44 They tell me I'm famous.
52:45 You're famous?
52:46 You're such a good boy.
52:48 How did you grow up?
52:50 I learned how to walk when I was cleaning her mother's room.
52:55 She would come near me.
52:56 For example, she would change her clothes,
52:57 I would reach her.
52:59 When I came home from work,
53:00 I would take my shoes off.
53:02 Where?
53:03 That's where it started.
53:05 I told her,
53:06 "Your mommy can't walk.
53:08 You should always help her."
53:10 How big is your love for your mommy?
53:12 It's true.
53:13 It's true?
53:14 Yes, Boss.
53:15 Irma, how are you now?
53:18 I'm okay, Boss.
53:20 Did you accept what I told you?
53:22 I accepted.
53:24 Sometimes, Boss,
53:26 I still feel bad.
53:28 When does the bad time come?
53:30 I still can't accept what happened to me.
53:32 When does the bad time come?
53:37 The time when I'm sad.
53:40 It just keeps coming back.
53:42 Even if I try to be happy,
53:44 there's a time when I feel sad.
53:48 I don't know why.
53:50 Maybe I'm lonely at home.
53:52 I have nothing to do.
53:54 How do you help her, Eric?
53:57 Because she's depressed.
53:59 I'm just changing her mood.
54:00 Of course, there are promises that I make.
54:03 And I tell her,
54:05 "Don't think about your situation like that.
54:08 If you're going to face it,
54:09 you're going to do more than what's normal."
54:11 You're still making...
54:13 Washing machine, washing,
54:14 washing dishes,
54:15 I'm washing the dishes while sitting in bed.
54:18 Usually, I just sit there.
54:20 And Kurt is the one who puts the dishes in the cabinet.
54:24 We're cleaning the house,
54:26 washing the dishes.
54:27 I'm just helping her.
54:28 Because she's the only one I have at home.
54:30 So, my daughter is learning every day.
54:35 Do you ever get scared that Eric might look at other women?
54:43 Sometimes, I say, "It's okay,
54:45 because this is my situation."
54:47 But sometimes,
54:49 because I get jealous.
54:50 Of course, you're with her.
54:52 I'm just alone.
54:53 We don't have any relationship.
54:55 How do you make her feel better
54:57 when she's feeling that way?
55:00 Of course, the initial reaction...
55:03 Do you get jealous?
55:04 I get jealous because...
55:05 Why would you worry?
55:08 During the time I've been through,
55:12 I've learned a lot of things that...
55:15 It's hard to explain
55:17 so that she'll get used to it.
55:19 How come now,
55:21 you're so loving to your wife?
55:22 There's still someone.
55:25 Somehow,
55:26 the love of a husband is not gone.
55:29 If that's the case.
55:30 When mom and dad are fighting,
55:33 do you talk to mom?
55:35 Yes.
55:36 What about dad?
55:37 I hope they'll still love each other.
55:39 They really love each other.
55:41 Let's ask mom.
55:42 How much do you love Eric, Irma?
55:44 I love him so much because I'm still here.
55:47 How about you, Eric?
55:48 How much do you love Irma?
55:49 I love myself just like her.
55:52 Irma, what lesson can we learn from what you've said?
55:56 All hardships have a reward.
56:01 Kurt, what do you want to be when you grow up?
56:03 A doctor.
56:05 You want to be a doctor?
56:06 Yes, a doctor.
56:08 Yes, I want to be a doctor.
56:09 Irma, Eric, thank you so much.
56:11 You've told us your story
56:15 to be an inspiration
56:18 and to be a lesson to our viewers.
56:20 Kurt, thank you.
56:22 This is for you, Irma.
56:23 Thank you very much.
56:25 Thank you so much for your time.
56:28 Thank you for giving us a chance
56:31 to write my wish
56:33 because it's where it all started.
56:35 And to Vicky Morales.
56:37 And especially to Macell
56:40 who wrote it.
56:42 Okay, you're welcome.
56:44 Yes, Eric?
56:46 I also want to thank the sponsor of her educational plan,
56:49 PINAMLIFE.
56:50 And to Dr. P
56:52 because she gave me a big help
56:57 for almost one year of my wife's supply.
57:00 That's for Irma.
57:02 Thank you so much.
57:04 Thank you.
57:05 A blessing given by God to children.
57:08 But more than the happiness she gave to her parents,
57:12 Kurt also gave inspiration to all of us.
57:15 Especially at such a young age,
57:18 he didn't neglect a huge responsibility.
57:22 In the end, he even served as a pillar to his family
57:26 so that the light can be seen at the end of the long and dark road they are walking.
57:31 I am Mel Tiangco
57:34 and this is the story of each one of us.
57:37 Now, tomorrow, and forever.
