01:25 Hello?
01:27 Hello Bebo, this is your father.
01:31 Yes, Dad, why?
01:33 Son, Tenten is gone.
01:36 Your brother left us.
01:40 [Music]
02:09 [Music]
02:16 Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
02:24 Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.
02:32 Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.

03:03 [Music]
03:05 Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
03:12 Tenten or Mary Rose Asisio Muñoz is from a family of two in the city of Caloocan.
03:19 She was given the nickname Tenten because she was born on October 10, 1976.
03:26 [Music]
03:29 Although her family is more known in politics, Tenten is good at singing.
03:35 Because of this, her parents supported her.
03:39 From buying karaoke for her rehearsal, to the creation of people to teach her in the field of music.
03:47 That's why Tenten became more successful in her growth.
03:52 Not only in singing, but also in composing songs.
03:57 That's why she didn't stay long, she joined the competitions until she became the Grand Champion in 1987.
04:07 Our Bolilit Grand Champion is none other than...
04:11 Let me know if you can hear me.
04:14 [Applause]
04:16 After winning the new champion, she became a scholar of the well-known composer and songwriter Ryan Kayabyab.
04:26 He gave her a chance to become known as a member of 14K.
04:32 And as a child, she was in a musical called "Katy".
04:36 It seems that success and success in Tenten's life became fast.
04:41 One of the reasons is the beating of her heart.
04:45 That started in a soiree of grade 7 students of Ateneo and her school, Miriam.
04:53 Where she met RJ, who was destined to love her and to love her too, until the last moments of her life.
05:04 This is nice.
05:09 Wait, I'll get some more pictures of my competition.
05:12 It's in their room, Mommy.
05:15 But do you really want to see that?
05:17 I look funny there, I'm even wrinkly there.
05:19 Yes, this is it.
05:22 And I want you to give me your picture too.
05:24 Why?
05:26 Because I'm your boyfriend, right?
05:29 So we need to have our pictures.
05:33 And by the way, I brought my picture.
05:36 Put it in your wallet.
05:39 So I can remember you, right?
05:46 Huh, corny.
05:48 Okay, I'll hide it.
05:51 Give me a dance, so when I miss you, I can look at you.
05:55 Yes, I'll get it. You're so corny.
05:57 Wait, and maybe later, you can give me a kiss.
06:04 One more, if you want.
06:10 One more.
06:13 One more.
06:14 Is RJ your boyfriend?
06:28 Yes, why? Is there a problem?
06:31 Don't you know that he was my boyfriend before, and he fooled me.
06:36 We're friends, right?
06:40 Divorce him, Tenten. He just fooled you.
06:44 And think about it, he fooled us, the two of us, to be friends.
06:49 Hi, hello.
06:56 Hi, Ten. I missed you.
07:02 Why do you look sad? You can't come in?
07:08 RJ, don't come here.
07:10 Huh? Why?
07:14 Your ex-girlfriend, my best friend, I'm not comfortable with that.
07:22 I feel like you're fooling her.
07:24 Sorry, but let's split.
07:29 I'm sorry.
07:30 If that's what you want, I can't do anything.
07:44 I love you, Ten.
07:47 I'm really sorry, RJ.
07:50 It's okay.
07:57 It's like you.
07:58 But you know what, Ten?
08:10 If you could just give me a chance,
08:16 I won't fool you.
08:25 I promise I won't leave you.
08:27 I really love you.
08:30 I hope one day I can prove it to you.
08:36 Tenten felt the separation of RJ.
08:48 Because of this, he spent all his time on his girlfriend.
08:54 And all his time on his studies and career.
08:56 At the same time, he also had to deal with the many court cases that he refused.
09:03 Some of them, Tenten liked, but he still loved his first man.
09:12 [music]
09:39 Ten, here's your gown for the prom.
09:42 Measure it so we can know if there's anything we need to adjust here.
09:45 Okay, measure it. Let's see if it fits you. Because if not, we'll buy another one.
09:50 I've measured it several times in the shop. And dad is so excited.
09:54 Of course, it's your first time at the prom. I want you to be perfect.
09:58 And I want you to have the best look.
09:59 Of course.
10:01 Perfect? Wait, how will it be perfect?
10:02 You won't have a date at the prom and you won't look like a gossip.
10:04 Why are you so nervous?
10:07 You're the one who's thinking about it. You're a girl now.
10:10 Why should I fix it? You're the only one who can see me.
10:14 Okay, it's up to you. You're the one who doesn't have a date.
10:17 By the way, who's your date at the prom?
10:19 If you don't have a date, then your brother will be your date.
10:23 No, not him. He's too tall. I'll look like a gossip.
10:26 You're lucky with me. I think he's tall and handsome.
10:29 Brother, tall, dark. Yes, but handsome. I don't know.
10:34 You know what? You're lucky if your date is tall.
10:37 What? You're so annoying if I don't give you money for a date.
10:40 I don't have.
10:42 Okay, stop it. Do you really not have a date at the prom?
10:45 I have.
10:47 Who?
10:48 RJ.
10:50 Really?
10:51 Okay, it's up to you. If he makes you cry, don't come near me.
10:56 Will you be able to bear it? You know me.
10:59 That's why you're abusing me.
11:03 Dad, trust me. I'm old enough to choose the right boyfriend. Okay?
11:09 I'm still not sure.
11:11 Okay. I'll just cut this gown. It's too hot here.
11:18 Wait a minute. Your hair is not done yet.
11:22 I'm excited. I'm going to work.
11:24 Brother, it's my turn.
11:27 I'm so annoyed. Who's that?
11:29 It's my turn. Don't be mad.
11:32 Wait.
11:33 Okay. For you.
11:40 Thank you.

12:23 [Music]
12:28 You're so annoying. We're still the king and queen of the night.
12:30 Do I deserve to be king?
12:32 No.
12:34 You're so arrogant.
12:35 Do I deserve to be queen?
12:36 No.
12:38 Really?
12:39 You don't deserve to be queen.
12:40 Actually, you look like a princess. My princess.
12:44 Let's go there. Do you know that I really miss you?
12:47 Really?
12:49 Yes. I was surprised when you called me.
12:52 I thought you already forgot me or you don't know me anymore.
12:55 Oh my. How can I miss you?
13:00 I heard that you have a lot of chicks.
13:02 Maybe, a lot of people know me. They're on a date.
13:06 But you're my princess.
13:11 You're good at ball games. Maybe, you're doing that to make girls fall for you.
13:16 I'll make you fall for me. You know, I have a box at home.
13:21 Really? What box? I also have a box at home.
13:24 This is a different box.
13:26 All of your write-ups are in this box.
13:29 I collect posters, records, through the years.
13:32 That's a big ball.
13:34 Do you want me to show you?
13:36 Okay.
13:39 And if you love me.
13:42 Why? Do you still love me?
13:46 I never stop loving you, Ten.
13:49 Like what I told you, one day, I'll prove to you how much I love you.
13:56 Are you asking for a second chance?
13:59 Not now, Ten.
14:02 I told you that you have a girlfriend.
14:04 I'm okay. I don't have a girlfriend.
14:07 I'm okay.
14:08 Wait, I think you're confused.
14:10 You're saying that you love me, but you don't want us to be steady.
14:14 What's that?
14:16 I know I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.
14:18 That's why...
14:20 That's why?
14:22 I'm leaving.
14:25 I'm going to the States.
14:27 I'm going to follow you there.
14:29 I'm going to college.
14:30 But Ten, don't worry.
14:40 Because wherever I am,
14:43 like what I said,
14:45 I just love you.
14:50 And I also know that wherever you are,
14:58 we don't see each other or talk for a long time.
15:00 I know that you love me too.
15:03 You're so arrogant.
15:05 How did you know that I love you?
15:07 If you don't love me, why are you crying?
15:10 Huh?
15:13 I'm your only love.
15:21 I'm your only love.
15:26 You're not going to love anyone else.
15:28 You promised me that.
15:30 I promise.
15:35 I promise.
15:52 After going to the States,
15:53 Tente continued her love for music and its music.
15:57 But no matter how much she loved music,
16:01 it wasn't enough for her to feel the sadness
16:04 that came with the departure of her child.
16:06 And because of her young age,
16:09 Tente was able to achieve her dream in the Philippines.
16:13 She went abroad
16:16 to try and reach the new horizon of her dreams.
16:21 Daddy,
16:22 Yes?
16:24 I read about the California School of Arts in America.
16:29 I want you to try it.
16:31 Maybe I'll get a job there.
16:33 In America?
16:35 You won't be able to take us there.
16:39 I know, but
16:42 I think I've already achieved everything I want to achieve here in the Philippines.
16:48 I'm just worried that the world is so big, right?
16:51 I'm just worried that I'll be able to get that in that time.
16:55 Maybe you're just in a hurry.
17:00 Maybe you're just not noticing the things here that you should be thankful for,
17:05 that are just around you.
17:08 No,
17:11 I feel like I'm not in a hurry.
17:15 I feel like the time is short.
17:19 I still have a lot of things I want to do for my life.
17:25 I hope you understand.
17:27 Oh, you're going through her talks again, Daddy.
17:32 I've told you a lot.
17:34 Maybe you'll talk to RJ and you'll meet in America, right?
17:37 Adios.
17:39 Because of her own talent and self-confidence,
17:44 Tenten was able to get the scholarship she wanted.
17:47 That's why she was able to get what she wanted.
17:51 Oh, what's wrong?
17:55 You might forget your passport.
17:57 I'm ready.
17:59 Oh, what are you doing here? I thought you're already gone.
18:02 Brother, don't worry. I won't miss you.
18:05 I'm just kidding, Brother.
18:09 I'll miss you.
18:13 I'll miss you too.
18:14 I don't have money for a date.
18:16 I don't have feet and I don't have a voice.
18:18 Take care of yourself.
18:20 I love you, Brother.
18:22 Don't worry.
18:24 When I earn money, I'll give it back to you.
18:27 I'll give you anything you want.
18:29 Promise?
18:31 Yeah.
18:33 I want the bracelet of the watch because you're the one who gave it to me.
18:39 Ronnie, buy me the new one.
18:41 Okay.
18:43 When I have money, I'll buy you the most expensive bracelet.
18:45 I promise.
18:47 In America, Tenten continued her studies.
18:51 And at the same time, she was accepted as a member of a prestigious singing group,
18:57 The Young Americans.
19:00 It's a thing that the whole country is proud of because they're the first to be recognized
19:07 as a member of a group that is not an American citizen.
19:11 Aside from that, she was also named as one of the top ten students of all schools in America
19:19 because of her membership of the Gilma Peta Phi Society at Chapman University of California.
19:26 But despite the good life of Tenten in America,
19:30 they didn't have the chance to be recognized as a member of the Young Americans.
19:36 But now, it's time for RJ to join them again.
19:39 Until...
19:41 Hey, Ten. Are you alright?
19:51 Yeah.
19:53 Have your parents heard about the earthquake yet?
19:55 They must be worried sick.
19:57 The phone lines are working now so if you want to call them, you can.
20:00 I'll do that.
20:02 If you ever need anything at all, don't hesitate to come by.
20:04 Sure. Thank you.
20:05 Bye.
20:06 Hello?
20:13 Hello, Ten. I heard the news about the earthquake there.
20:17 I was worried about you.
20:19 How are you?
20:21 Who's this?
20:22 I thought you wouldn't forget me.
20:29 RJ and Tenten are back together again.
20:32 But because they live far from each other in America,
20:35 their relationship became awkward.
20:38 But they didn't consider it as an obstacle to their relationship.
20:42 Instead, they value the moments they spend together more.
20:49 RJ?
20:51 [music]
20:53 After the happy return of Tenten and RJ,
21:05 the Philippines brought the couple home
21:07 so that the family can be together again for the long time they've been apart.
21:12 But despite everything,
21:15 this return is just one of the last time they'll be together.
21:21 [music]
21:23 Young people of the Philippines,
21:35 tonight,
21:37 we are accompanied by our leaders
21:41 to talk about the problems you're facing.
21:45 Wow, brother.
21:47 You're a politician just like Grandpa.
21:50 Do you do anything good to people?
21:54 Of course.
21:56 Grandpa Ariel left a legacy.
21:58 That's why I want to be a lawyer
22:01 so I can help the victims.
22:03 Oh, really?
22:05 And you speak differently.
22:09 I'm a lady, right?
22:10 You're still an arty.
22:13 Why?
22:14 My brother is so annoying.
22:17 He said I'm an arty.
22:18 Hey, you two. You're starting again.
22:21 Hey, you two.
22:23 Remember, don't be a nuisance. There are many people around.
22:27 [music]
22:29 Brother, you're a counselor, right?
22:38 The bracelet you promised me. Where is it?
22:41 What's that?
22:43 The bracelet of Rilo.
22:46 The one you promised me.
22:48 Oh, yes, the bracelet.
22:50 Buy me a new one.
22:51 I'll buy you one. Don't worry. I promise.
22:53 And now, to give us a song,
22:57 let's call the president of a young man in our district,
23:03 Counselor Tebo Munoz,
23:05 along with his younger brother, Tenten Munoz.
23:09 Give him a round of applause.
23:11 Thank you.
23:13 Tenten's homecoming in the Philippines was a happy occasion.
23:16 And on his return to America,
23:19 his family came here to spend a moment with him.
23:23 While in America,
23:25 there was also a chance
23:28 to complete the people who are close to his heart,
23:31 his family,
23:33 and RJ.
23:35 Mommy, Daddy's here. Why are you late?
23:37 I bought clothes to wear.
23:39 Is it okay?
23:41 Yes.
23:42 I know your daddy is mad at me.
23:43 No, he's not. Mommy, Daddy,
23:48 Brother, this is RJ.
23:50 Good afternoon.
23:52 Hi, RJ. Good afternoon.
23:54 Okay, go to the living room.
23:57 Okay. Thank you.
23:58 Okay, I'll prepare some snacks.
24:01 Brother, what are you doing with RJ?
24:03 I'm cooking. Come here.
24:04 Let's go.
24:06 Come here.
24:07 I'm sure that guy is mad at me.
24:17 I told you, I'm not that kind of guy.
24:21 This kid is really stubborn.
24:24 Look, he looks like a playboy. He looks like a happy-go-lucky guy.
24:27 Daddy, we haven't talked about that yet.
24:32 I will be the next one to come in your life, especially in my love life.
24:37 Because I love you so much, that's why I'm just reminding you.
24:42 Mommy, Daddy, you know I really feel that you love me.
24:46 But you know, the time will come
24:49 when I will prove to you that I made the right choice with RJ.
24:54 I love him just like you love me.
24:56 What do you think?
25:06 Wow, it's beautiful.
25:10 Maybe you will buy this for me or you brought me here.
25:14 Do you want it?
25:16 It depends.
25:19 If you will buy it for me, and it's your Christmas gift.
25:23 Why would I buy you?
25:28 You have your own money.
25:31 And you said that's why you're working, right?
25:34 So you can buy whatever you want.
25:36 Maybe, Daddy, you don't love me anymore.
25:40 You're not spoiling me anymore.
25:42 You're so bad.
25:47 That's why I brought you here.
25:49 So I can make sure that you like it before I buy it.
25:53 Really?
25:55 Tomorrow, I will buy this for you.
25:59 But you know, Daddy,
26:10 if I will give up, it's like I got everything in my life.
26:15 That's why whenever I think that I got my dream,
26:18 I am thankful to God that He gave me everything that I want.
26:23 I'm taking a bath.
26:50 You're so fast in driving. It's like you're running out of gas.
26:53 I'm just excited, Dad. Sorry.
26:55 You know, I should have bought you a Volkswagen.
26:59 I think I will bring you to Delicado.
27:02 Dad, I'm not a baby anymore.
27:04 For us, your mommy and your brother, you're still a baby.
27:09 What happened to you?
27:17 Nothing.
27:18 You're getting pale.
27:20 What are you feeling?
27:22 Huh?
27:26 You have a fever.
27:28 Drink your medicine. Come inside.
27:33 Yes, RJ, I still have a fever.
27:40 Did you drink your medicine?
27:42 Yes.
27:44 Okay, take a rest. I miss you.
27:47 I miss you too. I love you.
27:50 I love you more.
27:52 Okay, bye.
27:54 Son.
27:59 Daddy.
28:00 How do you feel?
28:05 I'm better.
28:07 I'll just talk to RJ. I'm better.
28:11 Of course.
28:13 Of course.
28:14 You're so naughty.
28:17 Your fever is getting worse.
28:20 What if it's a virus?
28:22 I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow.
28:25 If it gets worse, I'll bring your mommy here.
28:28 So I can help you take care of you.
28:30 Daddy, it's just a fever.
28:33 It's better if you're sure, so it won't get worse.
28:39 Really, daddy. Oh, I'm just concerned.
28:41 You're giving me too much love.
28:44 You're spoiling me too much in loving.
28:46 That's why I'm like this.
28:48 You're spoiling me in love.
28:50 Okay, okay. Go to sleep.
28:52 Good night, daddy.
28:54 Good night.
28:56 Drink your medicine.
28:58 But the simple disease that Kenten is experiencing
29:08 is a more serious disease.
29:11 What's your problem, Doc?
29:20 Is it serious?
29:24 I'm sorry to have to tell you this, Mr. Munoz, but based on our tests...
29:29 Doc, I want to know the truth.
29:33 What's wrong with me?
29:37 Kenten,
29:38 you have a tumor in your brain.
29:44 I don't believe.
29:55 Dad, please.
29:57 Is it curable?
30:00 We can remove the tumor by means of an operation.
30:06 But it's very risky.
30:08 I can't guarantee anything.
30:10 Daddy?
30:18 I'm here.
30:22 Can you please call RJ?
30:33 Please tell him that I want to be with him.
30:38 Please tell him to come here.
30:43 Okay, please go ahead.
30:46 I love you.
30:47 I love you.
30:49 I love you.
30:51 I love you.
30:53 I love you.
31:21 Hello?
31:22 Hello.
31:24 Can I speak with RJ, please?
31:27 Speaking. Who's this?
31:30 This is Tenten's dad.
31:34 Good evening.
31:36 How's Tenten?
31:50 Tenten?
31:51 RJ?
31:52 Tenten?
31:53 RJ?
31:54 Tenten?
31:55 How are you feeling?
31:59 I feel great.
32:01 I've been holding on for a long time, but I can't breathe.
32:03 Why? Why do you look like that?
32:05 Of course, I'm worried about you.
32:07 You thought I was going to die, right?
32:11 That won't happen. You'll prove something to me.
32:14 What is that?
32:16 I'm just happy that you're here.
32:19 I'm happy too.
32:20 [Music]
32:34 [Music]
32:51 You didn't tell me where I was going.
32:54 That's why I didn't tell you. I don't want to ruin your vacation in Europe.
32:58 I want to enjoy your vacation.
33:02 And look, I'll be good too. You'll see.
33:06 You should be. Because if you don't, you won't wear the bracelet I bought for you.
33:10 I already have one. Where is it?
33:12 Of course, it's not with me. I'll be quick to go here.
33:15 You're really a liar.
33:17 Look, a promise is a promise.
33:19 The operation is next week. Aren't you nervous?
33:24 If I'm going to die, I'll die. I'm happy.
33:29 Don't say that. You'll live.
33:32 You should get better. You're ugly when you're sick.
33:35 You're uglier. I'm not ugly.
33:37 Yeah, I'm not ugly.
33:39 Okay, fine. You're handsome, but your boss is ugly.
33:43 What did he say?
33:45 He said you're a pervert.
33:46 You know what, I love you so much.
33:51 You're the best brother in the world.
33:54 You're the best sister.
33:58 You're the best.
34:25 Just think that I'm here. I'll wait for you after your operation.
34:31 You'll probably come back.
34:35 Of course. Wait, why are you more afraid than me?
34:44 I love you.
34:53 I love you more.
34:54 A week later, Tente's operation was successful.
34:59 An operation that was performed by a woman and her family who will save her from the death.
35:08 This is the bracelet I promised you. I'll give it to you after the operation.
35:13 Thank you, brother. Mommy, I love you.
35:18 I love you.
35:20 I love you.
35:22 I love you.
35:24 I love you.
35:25 I love you.
35:26 I love you.
35:28 I love you.
35:30 I love you.
35:32 I love you.
35:34 I love you.
35:36 I love you.
35:38 I love you.
35:40 I love you.
35:42 I love you.
35:44 I love you.
35:46 I love you.
35:47 I love you.
35:48 I love you.
35:49 I love you.
35:50 I love you.
35:52 I love you.

36:17 Kahit na malayo ka ati muli pang makita

36:55 It was not easy for RJ and Tenten's family to accept what was happening to the girl.
37:02 They even raised her so that she could face the fate.
37:07 And in these times, there was no one to take care of her and accompany her.
37:15 Tenten could see how much she loved the girl.
37:20 And because of her love, Tenten was able to stay happy.
37:24 She never got weak and fragile.
37:29 Instead, she got strong and strong.
37:34 If you want to eat, just tell me and I'll buy it for you.
37:40 But it's not forbidden to you.
37:42 What is it?
37:43 Ice cream.
37:47 It's not allowed.
37:49 Chocolate shake?
37:53 That's more than that.
37:54 Hello.
37:58 Hi, baby.
38:02 How are you?
38:05 We brought your favorite fruits.
38:07 Thank you.
38:11 RJ, we'll take care of it.
38:13 Go home and rest.
38:15 Okay, I'm fine here.
38:17 Go home.
38:21 We might get tired of it.
38:25 And I told you that I won't die.
38:28 And you're getting jealous.
38:32 Okay, but I'll miss you.
38:37 Bullying.
38:40 I'll go ahead.
38:41 I'll just buy it downstairs.
38:43 I'll accompany you because I have something to ask downstairs.
38:46 Okay.
38:47 Dad, am I right?
39:03 Yes, you're right.
39:08 You should choose RJ.
39:09 You're a grown up now.
39:12 You're a grown up now.
39:20 You're smiling now.
39:23 You know what, Dad?
39:29 You're the best.
39:34 You're the best.
39:35 What's happening?
39:51 I don't know.
39:52 Something's wrong with her.
39:53 Please call the doctor.
39:54 Ten.
39:56 Ten.
39:58 Ten.
39:59 Ten.
40:03 Ten.
40:04 Ten, enough.
40:32 Are you okay?
40:33 Ten.
40:37 You know what?
40:40 Your whole body is shaking.
40:42 I'm so scared.
40:44 I don't know what to do.
40:46 You know, your brother, Bebong, missed you.
40:58 That's why he didn't want to come here.
41:02 He said he can't stand to see you weak.
41:06 That's why he went back to the Philippines.
41:09 But he bought me a bracelet.
41:13 He said that if you get pregnant, you should wear it all the time.
41:17 And don't be afraid.
41:18 Your brother loves you so much, right?
41:25 You know, I love you so much, too.
41:29 Even Dad loves you so much.
41:34 Mom loves you so much.
41:36 That's why you need to get better.
41:38 You need to get better.
41:41 Don't leave us.
41:43 Don't leave us.
41:45 RJ left for a while.
42:00 But he'll be back soon.
42:03 You know, RJ has proven to us that he loves you so much.
42:12 Don't leave us.
42:14 Mom loves you so much.
42:17 You know, don't leave us.
42:22 Don't leave us.
42:28 You'll be back soon.
42:30 Don't leave us.
42:32 Don't leave us.
42:58 Rito, I want to ask for permission from you.
43:06 For what?
43:09 I want to marry Tenten.
43:15 RJ, you don't have to prove anything to Tenten.
43:19 You don't have to prove anything to us.
43:25 But we know that you love our son so much.
43:28 And because of your love, you gave him happiness.
43:32 We wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly want to thank you.
43:37 Maybe, you don't know this.
43:45 But because of you, Tenten got through all of this.
43:52 You became his strength.
43:54 You're the reason why he wakes up every day.
44:01 You're the reason for everything for him.
44:08 You're the one who makes his world.
44:11 That's how important you are to Tenten, RJ.
44:15 That's how much he loves you.
44:19 You're like a son to him.
44:22 What happened?
44:40 Your daughter, sir.
44:41 What happened to my daughter?
44:47 What happened?
44:49 I'm sorry. We've done all we can do.
44:52 Ten.
45:00 Ten.
45:03 Ten.

46:39 - This is a letter from Kuya Bebo.
46:43 (singing)
46:44 Daily, along with the sunrise before going to school,
46:49 Ten would be vocalizing,
46:51 and the entire household would be shaken by her belted tune.
46:55 On our way to school,
46:56 Ten and I often engaged in petty arguments
46:58 about how her powerful voice
47:00 would disturb my precious minutes of sleep.
47:04 Most of you are already familiar
47:06 with this side of Ten-ten, the singer.
47:09 I know that every time that an opportunity would arise,
47:14 Ten-ten could do something good for me, and she would,
47:18 even if it meant that she had to give up certain things.
47:22 What keeps me happy and secure is my faith
47:25 that Ten-ten is now in concert with the Almighty,
47:28 performing not only for a limited audience,
47:31 but for all creation.
47:32 To my mommy and daddy,
47:36 I am proud of the fact, and some may disagree,
47:41 that we are a perfect family.
47:43 People asked how we did it,
47:46 and I could not give them a straight answer.
47:49 All I know is that my parents were the architects,
47:52 and we, the kids, merely participated.
47:56 To my mommy and daddy,
47:58 Ten would want us to treasure our own lives, too.
48:01 Our life is a gift,
48:04 that in no terms should be wasted.
48:08 I love her so much,
48:11 and when I start to think about it now,
48:14 I'm not afraid of leaving this world,
48:17 'cause I know when my time comes,
48:20 I would be with my baby sister once more.
48:22 RJ,
48:26 you have made Ten-ten happy in a way nobody could ever have.
48:29 And thank you so much.
48:34 Like it or not,
48:37 dad, mom, and I love you like our own.
48:41 To our dear Ten-ten,
48:46 I cannot pretend that I know where you are,
48:50 and how you are doing.
48:53 I am certain because you do not fit in any other place
48:55 with a place filled with beauty, love, and God's grace.
49:00 And I love you.
49:03 (knocking)
49:11 - Hey, Tita.

53:44 - Bebong, there is a saying that goes,
53:46 you miss a person when you lose him or you lose her.
53:51 (speaking in foreign language)
53:55 None of us wasted a day to tell her that we love her
54:04 or to make her feel that she was important.
54:07 (speaking in foreign language)
54:11 (speaking in foreign language)
54:15 - Oh, how nice.
54:27 At that time, (speaking in foreign language)
54:32 you would lose her very soon.
54:34 (speaking in foreign language)
54:38 (speaking in foreign language)
54:42 - How did that feel?
54:48 (speaking in foreign language)
54:52 - And I was in Paris.
54:54 I didn't have a visa to the US because I was traveling.
54:58 - Oh, how did you prepare for the eventuality
55:03 (speaking in foreign language)
55:07 - I wasn't prepared.
55:08 I don't think I can ever be prepared
55:10 for something like that.
55:11 (speaking in foreign language)
55:15 It's not healthy, but that's how I deal with it.
55:21 - Last communication in your retentive,
55:25 I am not going to be intruding into something personal.
55:29 - No, you may.
55:30 When I went to the hospital,
55:31 she was under medication already.
55:33 (speaking in foreign language)
55:38 - Incoherent.
55:39 (speaking in foreign language)
55:43 - So that's why I think this story is more a message
56:06 of hope, a message of fulfillment than a message of loss.
56:11 (speaking in foreign language)
56:11 19 years of her life,
56:13 but she was able to find her one true love.
56:15 She was able to fulfill her dream
56:17 in the Philippines and in the States.
56:19 (speaking in foreign language)
56:23 I feel she lived a good life.
56:26 (speaking in foreign language)
56:27 - What would you say?
56:28 (speaking in foreign language)
56:31 (speaking in foreign language)
56:35 (speaking in foreign language)
56:47 - Thank you very, very much.
