10:26 Vic?
10:28 Hey, this is your friend.
10:30 How are you? Long time no see.
10:32 You know how to play guitar.
10:34 Yes, my father taught me.
10:36 Is it good?
10:39 It's good, but your tricks are old.
10:44 What?
10:46 It should be the sound of the Beatles.
10:48 Sound of the Beatles?
10:50 How is that?
10:52 Come, I'll teach you.
10:55 How is that?
10:56 It should be the sound of the Beatles.
10:58 Mutu taught Vincent how to play the instruments.
11:03 And because of his practice,
11:06 Vincent wrote his first composition,
11:10 which is called "Mundumay Magunaw".
11:12 Although they were not good at playing instruments,
11:16 Vincent brought a band called "Cats".
11:21 And in this band, Vincent started to have a bigger dream.
11:26 Do you know that Vic can compose songs?
11:29 [ALL]
11:31 Really?
11:33 Vic, show us so that these people will believe.
11:38 [ALL]
11:40 Okay, let's try.
11:44 Bro, listen to this.
11:47 Okay.
11:50 Okay.
11:51 [MUSIC]
12:00 If you are lost,
12:06 My heart is only for you.
12:14 Take it and take care of it,
12:20 That is the sign of love.
12:26 Even if we are far apart,
12:36 Take care of your heart and your devotion.
12:44 The day will come,
12:49 The two of us will not be apart.
12:56 My love is for you,
13:02 While I still have life.
13:10 I will love you, Mundumay Magunaw.
13:16 I promise to love you.
13:21 Because of their unique music,
13:24 Vincent invited more people to visit their hometown.
13:30 Not long after,
13:32 Vincent composed more songs.
13:35 And one of them is his song "Kabado".
13:39 It's a search for new musical compositions to be ongoing.
13:42 So for those who are listening,
13:45 If you have a good composition,
13:48 What are you waiting for?
13:50 Join us!
13:52 Bro, listen to this. Hurry up!
13:55 Hurry!
13:57 You know, you are the next most famous composer of our country.
14:02 So for those who are interested,
14:04 Just copy the phone number that I will say.
14:08 93-6154
14:13 With the help of his brother Larry,
14:16 Director and actor Leo Martinez,
14:19 From Tubong, Balayan, Dine,
14:21 The Cuds were able to buy three new guitars.
14:25 And this is what gave them the opportunity to continue their trip to Manila
14:30 And to audition for the program "Student Canteen".
14:35 "Student Canteen"
14:39 "Student Canteen"
14:43 "Student Canteen"
14:46 "Student Canteen"
14:50 "Student Canteen"
14:54 "Student Canteen"
14:58 "Student Canteen"
15:02 "Student Canteen"
15:06 "Student Canteen"
15:11 "Student Canteen"
15:13 "Student Canteen"
15:15 "Student Canteen"
15:18 "Student Canteen"
15:21 "Student Canteen"
15:24 "Student Canteen"
15:27 "Student Canteen"
15:30 "Student Canteen"
15:33 "Student Canteen"
15:36 "Student Canteen"
15:40 Vincent and his friends won the first competition in the "Sabing Patin"
15:44 But they also did not win the grand final.
15:47 So the group returned to Balayan.
15:50 And while Vincent's friends were still studying in the band,
15:54 He returned to deliver ice to the market.
15:59 Hey, put that there first.
16:02 Here's another one.
16:04 Put that there first.
16:06 It's heavy.
16:09 Here, take this.
16:10 Bro, I don't want to say this,
16:16 But I don't think anything will happen to you here in Batangas.
16:20 Wait, bro, what do you mean?
16:23 Vic, don't waste your talent.
16:28 Don't be content with delivering ice.
16:31 Go to Manila.
16:34 Look at our neighbor, Leo Martinez.
16:38 He's very famous in Manila.
16:39 Vic, if you'll permit us,
16:44 Nothing will happen to you here.
16:47 The songs you made,
16:49 Bring them to the VICOR or send them to the HEEDCOR.
16:53 Don't hide them in the apparator.
16:56 It's a waste, bro.
16:59 Because Vincent's friends were still studying,
17:02 He went to Manila alone to deliver ice.
17:07 And he tried to achieve his dreams.
17:09 Bro, take care in Manila.
17:13 Just remember, no matter what happens,
17:19 Don't be with the crazy.
17:21 Remember.
17:23 Even if it's hard, as long as our name is clean.
17:25 I'll remember, dad.
17:27 Mom, I'm a nurse now.
17:34 I'm a nurse.
17:35 I really can't stop you.
17:42 Mom, I have to do this.
17:45 Enough, enough.
17:58 Let Vic go.
18:00 Take care, son.
18:03 We shouldn't stop our children from achieving their dreams.
18:06 Son, I trust you.
18:11 God bless you.
18:20 Take care, son.
18:30 [music]
18:31 Vincent is living in his sister's house in Caloocan.
18:49 And here, he met Allan.
18:51 The person who helped him to record his demo tapes.
18:57 Days passed, and Vincent's song was accepted in the Headquarters Music Company.
19:03 But because of bad luck, the Music Company suddenly closed.
19:09 But Vincent didn't give up easily.
19:11 So he submitted his other composition in OctoArts.
19:16 But he was still not lucky.
19:18 Even though he's feeling poor because he has no job to look for,
19:24 Vincent kept on going to the OctoArts compound.
19:27 And he was friended by producers and technicians there
19:30 to fully understand the world he dreams of entering.
19:35 You know, Vic, this is my advice to you.
19:37 Just make songs.
19:39 You never know, one of them might be liked by the people around you.
19:43 If it hits, you'll be even more popular.
19:45 Yes, I'm sure that out of the ten songs I'll make,
19:49 they'll like at least one.
19:51 Yes, that's for sure.
19:54 It's almost 12, let's eat first.
19:56 Let's go, Vic.
19:58 Okay, I'll eat first.
20:00 Okay, let's eat.
20:02 I'm full.
20:04 Let's eat.

20:43 The resumes of the latest bus we're developing for the artist have been sent already.
20:48 Have you seen it?
20:50 Not yet, but I've already made a press release for each artist.
20:53 Really?
20:55 It's two days, and they're done.
20:56 Oh, are you sure?
20:59 Yes, I'm sure.
21:01 Good, that's good.
21:04 I'm tired.
21:06 I'm leaving, I have a meeting.
21:08 Okay, me too.
21:11 Sir, here's your towel.
21:12 Thank you.
21:14 Thank you.
21:15 Sir, your water.
21:16 Drink it first, sir.
21:17 Thank you.
21:19 Thank you.
21:21 You've been here for a month already.
21:25 Yes, sir.
21:27 You know, I'll teach you.
21:30 What is it, sir?
21:32 You should study how to compose a song.
21:36 The one you sent me is a bit old.
21:40 You should study the trends, and listen to the new ones.
21:44 Okay, sir.
21:46 Aren't you going home?
21:49 Sir, I'm not yet home.
21:51 Here, read this.
21:58 Thank you, sir.
22:01 Thank you.
22:03 Okay.
22:05 The owners of Octo Arts have become good to Vincent.
22:09 They see his daily diligence to go to the studio to learn.
22:15 And even though they believe that Vincent has a talent,
22:19 they decided not to waste time to invite him to the showbiz.
22:23 So, for the time being,
22:25 they gave him another job as a participant in different shows of the famous group, Boyfriends.
22:33 Vic, Boss Chito is calling you.
22:35 Boss Chito?
22:37 Yes, Boss Chito.
22:38 Wait a minute.
22:39 Boss, he's calling me.
22:43 Yes, after that, join the University Tour of Boyfriends.
22:47 For now, you're their technician, but study their instruments and their movements.
22:53 Are you okay with that?
22:55 Boss, I'm fine.
22:57 I'm fine, thank you.
22:59 What is Garin going to say?
23:01 The composition "Mamahaling Kita"
23:03 maybe we can include it in our album.
23:05 Really?
23:06 You'll include it in your album?
23:07 Marina, you heard the song I made on the radio?
23:10 Sir Gary, thank you.
23:12 Vincent's composition was included in the first album of Boyfriends.
23:18 But before it was played on the radio,
23:21 a disaster came to Vincent's life.
23:25 Brother,
23:29 that's my father.
23:31 Mom,
23:33 Dad,
23:38 why didn't you wait for me?
23:42 Dad,
23:44 Dad,
23:46 Dad, I love you so much.
23:50 Dad,
23:54 you have to know, Dad.
23:58 Dad,
23:59 Dad,
24:03 Dad,
24:08 Dad.
24:13 Dad,
24:14 Dad,
24:41 [music playing]
24:43 Gary, Gary,
24:51 you have to listen to the radio.
24:53 Isn't that your composition?
24:55 It's a waste.
24:58 My songs are not heard anymore.
25:01 He didn't see
25:09 the beginning of my dreams coming true.
25:12 The next blessings of Vincent's life didn't stop him.
25:26 His composition increased,
25:28 was included in the album of Boyfriends,
25:31 and he became a backup singer of Eva Eugenio and Claire De La Fuente.
25:37 Really? So, even your father is a music lover like you?
25:41 Yes, Sir. You know,
25:43 I really admire my love for music.
25:46 Vick,
25:49 lie down first.
25:51 Sir, wait. Maybe there's an order.
25:52 Sir, what is that?
25:56 What do you want to sing?
25:58 Because we want to hear your voice.
26:01 Sir, me? Sing?
26:03 Yes.
26:04 Go ahead.
26:06 Sir, please don't.
26:07 Go ahead.
26:08 Come on, Vick. Try it.
26:10 Now? Now?
26:11 Yes, now.
26:12 Sir, do you know "Kapalara"?

27:50 Your voice is beautiful, Tsong.
28:09 Yes, your voice is beautiful, Vick.
28:11 Thank you, Sir.
28:13 But we have a problem.
28:15 Sir, what is that?
28:16 You look like Vick.
28:17 If you're a ballad singer,
28:20 you should be more handsome than Haji Alejandro.
28:24 Right?
28:26 Sir, you know what?
28:27 The problem is,
28:28 I only have two baths,
28:30 and this Haji.
28:31 You see?
28:33 Vick is good at making people laugh.
28:35 It suits his face.
28:36 Why don't we hire him
28:38 to be a nobelty singer?
28:40 That's your master.
28:42 Yes, Sir.
28:44 But not yet.
28:46 When it's time for the nobelty,
28:47 don't worry.
28:49 We'll make you famous.
28:51 We'll give you a break.
28:52 Sir, that's true.
28:54 Thank you, Sir.
28:56 One of Vincent's talents
29:01 is to sing.
29:04 One night,
29:06 he didn't know
29:07 that he heard
29:08 the publicist and lyricist
29:10 Baby Hill
29:12 with Orly Ilangan.
29:14 But if you look like me,
29:16 they'll chase you.
29:19 That's why the problem is,
29:22 my pocket is already empty.
29:24 That's why my mom is angry
29:31 because I'm already angry.
29:34 That's okay.
29:40 I told you,
29:41 they all look like me.
29:43 All of them.
29:44 Ma'am, Sir.
29:49 Can you repeat what you need to say?
29:53 I'm just playing, Ma'am.
29:56 Boss Orly said you should repeat it.
29:58 Okay.
30:01 If your car is about to be chased,
30:07 go to the house.
30:09 The women are beautiful.
30:12 After Orly liked the song
30:14 that Vincent composed,
30:16 the next day,
30:17 he recorded it.
30:20 Oh, Vic.
30:21 You're in a good mood today.
30:22 Of course, I have a recording.
30:25 Naks? Recording?
30:27 You?
30:28 Yes.
30:29 I'm going to the other studio.
30:30 Okay.
30:32 Do you want to watch it?
30:34 I'm so excited.
30:39 Sorry, Bro.
30:41 Sorry, I didn't mean to.
30:42 Sorry.
30:44 I'm sorry.
30:45 I'm dizzy.
30:46 Vincent's career didn't stop.
30:50 But he had to change a lot of things
30:54 before he entered the showbiz industry.
30:57 With Orly's help,
31:00 Vincent learned the right attitude
31:03 and how to be an artist.
31:06 His composition,
31:07 "Spark and the Light",
31:09 was the first song he made famous
31:12 as a solo artist.
31:14 After the audience heard
31:15 Vincent's unique songs,
31:18 his TV guestings followed,
31:21 from "Student Canteen"
31:22 to "Discorama"
31:23 to "It Bulaga".
31:25 And because he's not only talented in singing,
31:28 but also in making people laugh,
31:30 he was also given the chance
31:31 to make a movie
31:33 like "Palpac Connection".
31:35 And he acted in TV sitcoms
31:37 like "Dorm Po sa Amin"
31:39 with Lloyd Sammartino and Sherry Hill
31:42 in the 1970s.
31:44 His songs became very popular
31:47 and he brought them to different places
31:49 in the Philippines
31:50 and even abroad.
31:52 But with his fame,
31:55 he also gradually fell into bad habits.
31:59 That's how it's done.
32:01 Right?
32:03 This is more delicious.
32:06 Hey, try it.
32:08 Hey, Vincent.
32:10 One more round?
32:12 Sure.
32:13 Nice.
32:14 Waiter.
32:15 It's more fragrant.
32:18 It's more fragrant?
32:20 Yes.
32:21 One more round.
32:23 You're going to make a hole there.
32:35 It's easy.
32:36 Hey.
32:46 Share it.
33:04 Thank you.
33:05 I'm home.
33:07 Sister.
33:09 Isn't that what mothers do?
33:12 We just went for a walk.
33:13 Maybe not.
33:15 Vincent.
33:17 Before we went in,
33:18 I heard something.
33:20 What?
33:21 You're on drugs.
33:22 Who told me the truth?
33:24 You.
33:25 Remember,
33:26 I'm not like a woman.
33:27 I'm not like this.
33:28 Do you understand?
33:30 I found out the truth.
33:31 You're a fool.
33:32 I'm not like a woman.
33:33 I'm not like you.
33:34 Sister,
33:35 I believe in gossip.
33:36 But a lot of people are jealous of me.
33:38 You're so arrogant.
33:40 It's just gossip.
33:41 Brother,
33:44 Sister,
33:45 Inay.
33:46 Oh,
33:47 what's happening to you?
33:48 Inay.
33:49 What?
33:50 I can't see Inay.
33:52 She's completely blind.
33:56 [music]
33:58 Brother,
34:10 the doctor said it's because of the drug.
34:12 It's not sudden.
34:18 I wish you told me earlier.
34:23 We could've done something.
34:25 Son,
34:28 don't be sad.
34:32 Your siblings don't know.
34:36 Vic,
34:40 I didn't scold you back then.
34:45 Your siblings don't know.
34:50 Vic,
34:51 what will happen to you now, Mom?
34:57 I didn't expect this to reach the point of my final destruction.
35:05 I'm so angry.
35:09 Vincent's father's death was not a coincidence
35:13 in his complete turning away from his vision.
35:16 And it didn't take long
35:18 for him to be used by the media
35:20 as a reason for banning drugs.
35:22 This became a sign of Vincent's gradual decline.
35:26 Along with drugs,
35:28 Vincent also became a victim of women.
35:30 He had relations with various women
35:33 and became a relative to them.
35:35 Until he met Cora,
35:38 the woman he loved
35:40 and would become the mother of his two daughters.
35:43 But because Vincent seemed to be aware
35:46 of his pity for himself
35:48 because of his ruined career,
35:50 their relationship with Cora didn't turn out well.
35:53 Stop it!
35:56 Do you still expect to get a showbiz job?
35:59 You've been here for a long time.
36:03 You're not an artiste anymore.
36:06 Move on.
36:07 Enough.
36:10 You're insulting me too much.
36:12 I'm not insulting you.
36:14 I'm making you feel it.
36:15 I know you're just depressed because of your wrong beliefs.
36:18 Shut up!
36:19 I'm getting mad at you.
36:21 If you're just joining me in real estate,
36:24 you're still useful.
36:25 If you don't notice,
36:27 I earn more than you.
36:29 I will never join you.
36:31 I will never sell land.
36:34 I'm an artiste.
36:35 I'm an artiste!
36:36 Good night, Daddy.
37:04 Daddy, mommy's not here yet.
37:06 Don't wait for her, Manga.
37:10 Go to sleep.
37:12 I'm getting tired.
37:14 Okay.
37:16 Come in.
37:27 Come here.
37:30 Come here.
37:31 You can put this in the garage.
37:39 Thank you.
37:44 Is it okay?
37:46 Yes.
37:47 You can put it on the other side.
37:51 And make it longer.
37:53 There.
37:57 Thank you.
37:58 You can put it outside.
38:00 Oops.
38:04 It's okay here.
38:05 You can put the chairs here.
38:09 Is it nice?
38:10 Yes.
38:11 Thank you.
38:14 You can put it here.
38:18 Thank you.
38:20 You can put it here.
38:22 Thank you.
38:25 Thank you.
38:26 Is it nice?
38:33 It's nice, right?
38:35 Do you think that you're the one who's looking for a life and you can buy things here in this house?
38:42 While I'm...
38:43 Are we starting again?
38:52 You can go upstairs.
38:55 You can go upstairs.
38:56 Why are you so noisy?
39:07 Why are you the one who's looking for things here in this house?
39:12 You're just like your mom.
39:13 That's your problem.
39:15 You're so stubborn.
39:16 That's why you're not moving up.
39:18 Whatever you do, you're not moving up.
39:21 And you should just accept it.
39:23 You're not moving up.
39:24 You're not accepting the showbiz anymore.
39:27 You're really happy, right?
39:31 You're so stubborn that you're not going to get anything from me in showbiz.
39:35 I don't care what you want to say.
39:40 Because you're not listening.
39:42 Even if I tell you, you don't care.
39:46 You're just showing off your pride.
39:51 If you're with me in selling land,
39:54 you should be moving up.
39:56 But if you're only thinking about your pride,
39:59 you're not going to get anything.
40:19 After his wife was convinced,
40:21 Vincent joined the real estate business as an agent.
40:25 For a short time,
40:27 he couldn't believe the size of his monthly income.
40:31 They were able to buy properties,
40:35 houses, and cars.
40:37 And most of the time,
40:39 the whole family is able to go on vacation abroad.
40:42 But despite the ups and downs in life,
40:47 Vincent's relationship with his wife still wasn't good.
40:51 That client is so weird.
40:57 He's been explaining for a long time, but he's not getting anything.
41:00 It's not the client's problem.
41:03 If you're fast in driving,
41:05 we wouldn't have been late.
41:07 If we're not late,
41:09 Mr. Chua won't turn off.
41:11 That's not right.
41:15 If you don't turn off your deal,
41:16 you'll blame me for everything.
41:18 Read the newspaper today.
41:20 It says that real estate businesses are losing a lot of money.
41:24 Another trial came to Vincent's life
41:29 when the real estate business went bankrupt in 1997.
41:34 They were forced to move to a smaller house.
41:39 And after a few years of hard life,
41:43 they were once again trapped in a tight spot.
41:46 That car is for sale.
41:55 The kids will be flying to America.
41:57 What did you say?
42:00 We don't have a future here in the Philippines.
42:04 I talked to the kids. They agreed.
42:07 Are you coming?
42:11 Because the family of a good life here in the Philippines
42:14 couldn't afford to give up their child,
42:16 Vincent couldn't stop his wife
42:19 from deciding to go abroad with the kids.
42:23 And one night,
42:25 before his mother and father could fly to America,
42:28 an unexpected thing happened.

44:04 Why did you do this?
44:06 Did you not think about it?

44:12 [♪♪♪]
44:16 Five days later, Vincent was released.
44:29 Although it was proven that the marijuana he was sold was a fake,
44:35 the news spread that he was jailed for drugs.
44:39 Despite what happened,
44:41 Cora couldn't stop him from going to America with the kids.
44:47 This made things harder for Vincent.
44:51 Tomorrow, you're leaving.
44:57 It might be a long time before we see each other again.
44:59 In our next meeting,
45:03 you might be adults.
45:07 Or you might be...
45:12 boys.
45:16 Daddy.
45:26 But...
45:27 this might be the last time.
45:31 Rhoda,
45:41 you might see someone you'll love more than me.
45:47 Daddy, we'll see each other again.
45:55 Mommy.
45:56 [sobbing]
46:00 A few days after his parents left,
46:16 Vincent's siblings decided to take him home.
46:21 But it wasn't easy for Vincent, who wakes up and goes to sleep every day,
46:26 to be worried about his children and saddened by the memories of his career
46:31 that he loved once, but suddenly he lost.

48:45 Vic?
48:55 Vic! Oh my God!
48:57 What are you going to do to yourself?
49:00 Vic, let's talk. What else?
49:05 Let's talk about your problem.
49:09 I can't do it anymore, sister.
49:12 No, that's not true. That's not true.
49:16 You're just thinking about yourself.
49:19 If you're really in trouble, what about us?
49:23 What about your children?
49:26 That's not the only way to get rid of your problems.
49:33 Vic!
49:38 He did something amazing to me.
49:41 You guys!
49:43 You guys are amazing!
49:45 I'm doing good to my friends.
49:53 I just want to be famous.
49:58 To be happy.
50:00 Why did you do that to me?
50:05 Why did you take my family?
50:08 Vic!
50:10 Vic, stop that.
50:12 Be quiet.
50:14 Get back what you said.
50:17 Don't worship God.
50:20 Think of other people.
50:23 There are more problems than you.
50:27 Don't think that you're more fortunate than the majority.
50:31 Don't you love your children?
50:35 Don't you love them?
50:37 When people are alive, they have hope.
50:41 Vic, you have to believe.
50:43 You have to believe.
51:09 My God.
51:10 Forgive me.
51:14 Forgive me!
51:20 I'm sorry.
51:37 From now on,
51:39 I won't be weak anymore.
51:43 I'll be strong.
51:48 I'll give you my love.
51:55 I won't look at life in a wrong way anymore.
52:02 I'll give you myself.
52:07 We'll be together again.
52:08 Look at that, Vincent.
52:25 People know you're a novelty singer.
52:27 Your songs are so happy.
52:29 It turns out that your life is a bit deep.
52:33 I think that's how life is.
52:35 Look at your songs.
52:36 "Lunal" and "Sprack and Delight."
52:38 People might think, "Where did you learn that?"
52:41 But now, you can make songs and you even did a git.
52:44 Before we made the recording,
52:47 we brainstormed on our topic.
52:51 What words would be popular in the song.
52:54 I'm a song boy.
52:56 You're thinking.
52:58 I talked to the executive producer, producer, composer, and singer.
53:04 You're really composing it.
53:06 Your life is surprising that your family left you.
53:11 Is that how your life is?
53:13 It's a tough life.
53:15 Whatever happens in your life, just accept it.
53:18 You can't do anything but just accept it.
53:20 Do you mean that you can't avoid it?
53:23 No, because we're not like that.
53:25 So, you really mean that?
53:27 Yes, I mean that.
53:29 But is it painful?
53:31 It's very painful, Eddie.
53:33 All of your children are with someone else?
53:36 I don't have any children with me, that's why it's sad.
53:38 What lessons can you learn from your life?
53:41 You need to be strong.
53:43 In the trials that come in your life,
53:47 that's how life should be.
53:49 Even if you're still young, you need to get up.
53:53 I'm a little bit old, I can't get up.
53:55 How did you get up? That's important.
53:57 How will you get up?
54:00 My four sisters are very supportive.
54:03 They tell me to be strong.
54:06 Because you can't predict the future.
54:09 Your children will also have problems.
54:13 If you die, nothing will happen to your children.
54:18 They will be sad.
54:20 If they have a problem, they will call you.
54:24 Vincent, we are thankful to you, but before that, I have another question.
54:29 Why are you wearing that?
54:31 What is that?
54:33 Is it a form or a symbol?
54:35 Because I'm not that handsome, that's why.
54:38 Ah, that's why.
54:41 So, in short, that makes you handsome.
54:44 But we are thankful to you and you let us know about your life
54:49 so that our viewers can learn from you.
54:52 I want to thank my siblings,
54:55 Billen, Pelly, Esther, Dita,
54:58 and the Batangas, Balayan,
55:02 who always get me on their show.
55:04 That's why my show is still going on,
55:07 with the band Bubble Gum.
55:09 Vincent proves that all those who are lost
55:16 can still find a way to get out of it
55:19 and return to the right path.
55:22 And in the end, more than anything,
55:25 we will still be a family
55:28 in the biggest trials that we will face in life.
55:32 This includes the strong faith in the Lord,
55:37 who is our only Savior.
55:40 I am Mel Tiangco,
55:45 and this is the story of each one of us,
55:48 now, tomorrow, and forever.
55:51 Bye!
