00:00:00 These men in San Fernando, Romblon
00:00:05 are very affectionate,
00:00:08 affectionate,
00:00:10 and can dance in the rain.
00:00:12 Today is the day of hearts.
00:00:14 Cheers!
00:00:15 But they are jealous,
00:00:18 courting,
00:00:20 and being jealous
00:00:22 because they are old men.
00:00:25 I want to have a girlfriend.
00:00:27 But their being single
00:00:30 is not by choice.
00:00:32 They have no choice
00:00:34 because they are destined to be cursed.
00:00:38 I still hope that someone will come for me.
00:00:41 I'm a single, if you can understand.
00:00:44 In their town,
00:00:46 there is a saying that according to stories,
00:00:49 men who are drunk and drink water here
00:00:54 cannot find true love.
00:00:58 There is a vocal on the island of Cebuyan in Romblon
00:01:04 that seems to have a curse.
00:01:08 Because those who drink water here
00:01:12 remember that they are single.
00:01:16 This is the vocal that they call "payaw".
00:01:21 One of the men who were cursed by the payaw
00:01:25 is the 74-year-old man named Mang Oto.
00:01:28 I drink water here every day.
00:01:31 We don't drink alcohol anymore.
00:01:33 The water here is so beautiful.
00:01:35 It's sweet.
00:01:36 There is water, but there is no love life.
00:01:40 I'm a single.
00:01:42 Mang Oto did not curse us,
00:01:46 but in fact, he was an artist when he was young.
00:01:50 Many people say that I look like Peter Cho.
00:01:53 That's why he was able to find his first girlfriend.
00:01:58 In 1969, I met the woman I like,
00:02:02 because she is hardworking.
00:02:03 That's all?
00:02:04 She is my mother.
00:02:05 You're a jerk!
00:02:06 I was seven years old.
00:02:07 I was five years old.
00:02:08 I will never forget her.
00:02:10 Mang Oto is said to have a talking stage.
00:02:16 We are in a relationship.
00:02:17 We met in a bar.
00:02:20 But he was also sent home.
00:02:25 I was left alone.
00:02:27 I lost the will to find a girlfriend.
00:02:29 Mang Oto's feelings are true.
00:02:32 The stories about the curse of payaw are true.
00:02:36 I was also a victim.
00:02:38 I have a sister who is here.
00:02:40 She is married.
00:02:42 Bukal or payaw can be found in the jungle,
00:02:45 almost half a kilometer away from the houses.
00:02:49 The water flows here from the roots of a big tree
00:02:55 that is two meters high.
00:02:59 This is the source of drinking water for the barangay people back then.
00:03:06 It's delicious.
00:03:07 It's a bit sweet.
00:03:08 Back then, they were the first to get water.
00:03:13 At first, there was no resource to get drinking water.
00:03:18 They were used to getting water from there.
00:03:21 Mang Oto's cousin, Pidek, who is a payaw cleaner,
00:03:26 is still single at the age of 62.
00:03:30 I have no one.
00:03:32 I drink here.
00:03:34 Pidek has a love life.
00:03:37 But he was gnosed or he didn't show his first girlfriend.
00:03:42 He went to Manila.
00:03:44 After that, we lost contact.
00:03:48 He fell in love again.
00:03:51 He will come with me.
00:03:53 I told him, "You're studying."
00:03:55 Studying is a waste.
00:03:57 Until Pidek, it seems like he was cheated on.
00:04:00 He fell in love again.
00:04:02 I think it was around 2020.
00:04:05 He lost his wife at the same age as me.
00:04:08 He wanted to get married, but Pidek is not ready yet.
00:04:13 I told him, "I don't have money to get married."
00:04:15 We didn't talk.
00:04:17 I have a wife.
00:04:18 Now, I'm alone at home.
00:04:20 Of course, I'm sad.
00:04:21 I don't have anyone to help me.
00:04:24 I feel bad.
00:04:25 I envy you.
00:04:27 You have someone to be with in life.
00:04:32 I would be sad if I didn't get married because of what he said.
00:04:37 The siblings, Jomar and Marlon, are 41 and 38 years old.
00:04:47 They also have a relationship.
00:04:49 We're just kids.
00:04:50 We drink here.
00:04:51 It's nearer to the house.
00:04:53 Marlon tried to court him.
00:04:56 But he poured cold water on him if he was bashed.
00:05:02 Jomar is looking for LOL or Love Online.
00:05:08 I met her on Facebook.
00:05:11 We're together.
00:05:12 She left me.
00:05:16 Our relationship lasted only 2 years.
00:05:19 We talked about it.
00:05:21 I'm thirsty.
00:05:22 I'm not yet married.
00:05:24 But why do men always pour cold water on women?
00:05:31 According to stories, women are watched by a ghost.
00:05:38 Men drink water from here when they are touched by a ghost.
00:05:47 They curse it.
00:05:49 The tree has a hole.
00:05:51 It looks like a private part of a woman.
00:05:54 Maybe a woman is the one who watches it.
00:05:55 Men usually like ghosts who live here and watch over them.
00:06:00 The living ones are around 12.
00:06:04 The rest are around 21.
00:06:08 That's why Carla has 2 children.
00:06:12 You might get a ghost there and you won't be able to get married.
00:06:16 These people are not allowed to drink water from the well.
00:06:22 I want my children to get married.
00:06:25 Carla is just thankful that they have a well to drink water.
00:06:32 There are refilling stations.
00:06:34 We used to get water from this well.
00:06:37 We have alternative sources of water like deep well in Mercado.
00:06:44 We also have refilling stations.
00:06:49 The reason why many men get married here is not known.
00:06:55 It's a coincidence.
00:06:56 The world is so big and we have different views.
00:07:00 Especially in the province where people believe that there are spirits,
00:07:06 ghosts, and other elements that live here.
00:07:10 Because it gives a better understanding of our environment.
00:07:16 They don't believe that this water is the reason why they will be single.
00:07:23 There are a few reasons why they will be single.
00:07:25 First, they are content with their life.
00:07:27 Second, they are afraid that they might have problems if they get married or have a family.
00:07:34 They don't think of themselves as the marrying type.
00:07:37 Maybe it's time for me to know that I can get married.
00:07:41 I still hope that something will happen for me.
00:07:45 Being single doesn't mean that you don't know about love.
00:07:51 Sometimes, it's better to be single than to get married to a wrong person or a ghost.
00:07:59 Well, well, well.
00:08:01 This is the village of the people who live and work in the mountains.
00:08:10 When this community was hit by a landslide,
00:08:15 the three buses and one jeep were hit by rocks and soil.
00:08:27 I'm so scared. I'm afraid of the landslides.
00:08:29 This bus was hit by a landslide and the other buses were hit by five layers of soil.
00:08:38 The hills were destroyed.
00:08:40 The mountain was covered with moss, which made the village look like a desert.
00:08:47 While the landslide was happening,
00:08:49 the number of deaths was not less than 30.
00:08:52 Almost 100 people were also affected by the landslide.
00:09:02 It was past 7 p.m. on this Tuesday.
00:09:05 The rescuers were chasing the time after the landslide
00:09:08 hoping that someone would still be alive to save them.
00:09:13 Under the shaking bus,
00:09:18 a man's foot was stuck after he was hit by a big rock.
00:09:23 I was hit by a big rock.
00:09:27 Fortunately, they had a shovel, so they were able to remove the debris.
00:09:34 I'm so scared.
00:09:41 Oh my God.
00:09:44 Thank you, Lord.
00:09:45 Thank you, Lord.
00:09:47 I'm so scared.
00:09:48 Thank you, Lord.
00:09:49 They were able to get out of the hole.
00:09:51 Another man was hit, and half of his body was in a ditch.
00:09:57 Fortunately, he was still alive.
00:10:00 We are from the village of Luian.
00:10:02 We are from the village of Luian.
00:10:03 We are here.
00:10:04 We are here.
00:10:11 We are here to rescue the people.
00:10:13 We are here to rescue the people.
00:10:15 We are here to rescue the people.
00:10:19 The man who was rescued, Cirilio, was hit by a rock in his body.
00:10:24 He is currently being taken to the hospital.
00:10:27 The bus was not able to reach the hospital
00:10:30 because the ground was too rough to reach the church.
00:10:34 I am also thankful to the Church Of Christ that gave me a second life.
00:10:38 And to my fellow members who helped me.
00:10:41 They are here.
00:10:42 Come here, Luian.
00:10:43 Come here, Luian.
00:10:44 Come here, Luian.
00:10:45 Come here, Luian.
00:10:46 Come here, Luian.
00:10:47 Come here.
00:10:48 I thought I was fighting.
00:10:52 I will not let it happen that I will die.
00:10:56 I thought I was really alive because I know that the Lord is not letting me live.
00:11:02 In this picture taken of him in the hospital,
00:11:05 JL's body was covered with white.
00:11:08 They were supposed to go home when the tragedy happened.
00:11:12 Around 7.15, I arrived at the bus terminal.
00:11:15 It was normal.
00:11:16 I was using my cell phone when my fellow members ran to me.
00:11:19 They were so scared.
00:11:21 I also ran to them.
00:11:23 But after a few steps, the rocks started to crumble.
00:11:27 I heard the bus pushing so hard.
00:11:30 I just got up and prayed.
00:11:33 I knew that I would die.
00:11:35 I ran.
00:11:36 We arrived there.
00:11:37 There was cement.
00:11:38 JL thought he was saved.
00:11:41 A man shouted, "We are here again. We are here again."
00:11:44 We climbed up the hill again.
00:11:46 I was stepping on rocks.
00:11:47 My feet were hurting.
00:11:49 We arrived at a house.
00:11:51 We were rescued.
00:11:52 JL's only salvation was his white bag and watch.
00:11:56 I was so lucky that I was given a second chance.
00:11:59 We will cherish our lives because we don't know when we will be taken.
00:12:03 This is the Atok in Barangay Hall.
00:12:06 It is a two-story building.
00:12:08 The old mountain was covered with trees.
00:12:11 Now, it is like a white sea.
00:12:13 Ground Zero was closed to the public.
00:12:16 In the middle of the town, there are dormitories for workers or people who work as OJT.
00:12:26 The rescue operations continued.
00:12:28 The surroundings were quiet.
00:12:30 The only thing you can hear is the sound of a backhoe.
00:12:33 [Backhoe sound]
00:12:39 And the cries of families waiting for the backhoe.
00:12:43 [Backhoe sound]
00:12:46 Sometimes, the ambulance sirens are heard.
00:12:50 [Sirens]
00:12:57 Grace, 54 years old, was waiting for the search and rescue operation for three days.
00:13:05 She heard news about her son, Jesson, and his wife, Maria, who are both workers in Minahan.
00:13:12 They filmed the house and ran away.
00:13:16 They were sliding.
00:13:18 Yesterday, someone was also surprised.
00:13:23 Until this Friday, Grace heard that some of the bodies were retrieved.
00:13:29 Despite the possibility that this is what she was looking for,
00:13:33 Grace still went to the funeral home.
00:13:37 The two bodies that were found were confirmed to be Jesson and Maria.
00:13:44 They were together until their last breath.
00:13:47 [Music]
00:13:55 I confirmed that it was my mother and father because of the clothes and the dress of my mother.
00:14:00 Of course, it hurts but we will fight for our brother because it's just the two of us.
00:14:05 Bernadette was holding the portrait of her beloved Joseph,
00:14:10 who was also one of the miners who were rescued by the backhoe.
00:14:14 I didn't know that I was going to be buried.
00:14:17 I didn't know that I was going to be buried.
00:14:19 Bernadette hopes that her husband is still alive, especially since they are planning to get married.
00:14:25 We are planning to get married.
00:14:29 I hope that my husband is alive.
00:14:33 I don't want to see him.
00:14:40 I don't want to see him.
00:14:44 I don't want to see him.
00:14:48 I don't want to see him.
00:14:50 I don't want to see him.
00:14:52 I don't want to see him.
00:14:54 I don't want to see him.
00:14:56 I don't want to see him.
00:14:58 I don't want to see him.
00:15:00 I don't want to see him.
00:15:02 I don't want to see him.
00:15:04 I don't want to see him.
00:15:06 I don't want to see him.
00:15:08 I don't want to see him.
00:15:10 I don't want to see him.
00:15:12 The landslide happened on February 6,
00:15:14 the third time in just two decades.
00:15:18 The first time was in 2007,
00:15:20 and it was repeated the following year,
00:15:23 or in 2008, when 25 people were brought back to life.
00:15:28 There are different factors contributing to the landslide.
00:15:32 One of them is the heavy rainfall.
00:15:34 The DNR, through the Mines and Ecosciences Bureau,
00:15:38 has created a geohazard map of the Philippines.
00:15:41 We can see here that our area,
00:15:44 or our households,
00:15:46 is prone to landslides or floods.
00:15:49 Because the landslide is natural,
00:15:52 which means that it's about the steep slope of the area,
00:15:55 we continue to give caution to the public
00:15:59 because we cannot really know when disasters will strike.
00:16:04 We cannot disregard the fact that mining has nothing to do
00:16:07 with the continuous cases of landslides and erosions
00:16:11 in the whole Compostela, in the whole Davao region.
00:16:14 Because mining itself changes the landscape.
00:16:17 Either they cut down trees or they dig up mountains.
00:16:22 In both cases, there is a change in the soil
00:16:26 and the forest is no longer able to absorb the water it used to be able to absorb.
00:16:32 That's why there is instability in the topography of the area.
00:16:36 You can verify the data, the facts, here in the regulatory agencies.
00:16:40 We have the MGB, the DNR,
00:16:42 it can really be proven that this happens outside the mining activity of APEX.
00:16:48 Meanwhile, on the fourth day of the rescue and retrieval operations,
00:16:53 many more deaths were found.
00:16:56 This Friday, the rescue dog, Apa,
00:17:01 seemed to be inactive.
00:17:05 There is something that the rescuers want to teach
00:17:08 about this part of the landslide,
00:17:10 in the land where people passed through, in the middle of nowhere.
00:17:15 There is a strong hope.
00:17:21 Don't move, don't move.
00:17:24 A miracle, despite being in a state of panic for more than 50 hours.
00:17:31 It's alive.
00:17:39 Angel, angel.
00:17:41 The three-year-old boy was rescued from the brink of death.
00:17:46 The angel of the landslide was Chin Chin.
00:17:50 Orlando's youngest son, a security guard in Minahan.
00:17:57 He was in jail, he was not left behind.
00:17:59 He was walking, he was not there.
00:18:00 He was just serving, he was just a little bit.
00:18:02 He was just about to get there, maybe he was just about to get there, he got on.
00:18:06 He was okay, he was serving, he was just a historian, we were historians.
00:18:10 I was surprised how he survived,
00:18:12 how the boy survived. God is really with us.
00:18:17 They were having dinner when the landslide suddenly hit.
00:18:21 Orlando was able to save one of his children,
00:18:24 but his wife and child were saved.
00:18:27 Chin Chin was saved,
00:18:29 but his wife and eldest son were hit.
00:18:35 I was not yet recovered.
00:18:38 My mind was still in a mess.
00:18:40 We have insurance, burial assistance,
00:18:42 and additional assistance for them to use immediately.
00:18:47 We also provided to the victims that even if they are not employed,
00:18:52 we will still sue them.
00:18:54 Meanwhile, the next morning, Bernadette returned to the scene.
00:19:01 This is the day when she will finally find her fiancé, Joseph.
00:19:06 She will continue to wait.
00:19:10 She will continue to wait.
00:19:13 I was so happy when I heard the news.
00:19:15 I was so happy to see him.
00:19:19 I was so happy to see him.
00:19:23 I was so happy to see him.
00:19:26 The rescuers were shocked.
00:19:36 This is a disaster.
00:19:39 They were hoping that they will be saved.
00:19:50 Angel, Angel.
00:19:52 Because of the collapse of Roland's leg,
00:20:01 she thought she will grow old alone.
00:20:06 But everything changed when she met Jennifer,
00:20:10 who was ready to accept and love her wholeheartedly.
00:20:17 Of the 11 women who went through Roland's life,
00:20:21 none of them was serious about him.
00:20:25 I was about to be a month old.
00:20:28 They all walked away whenever they found out his hidden secret.
00:20:36 I told them that I wanted to show them that I am not a thief.
00:20:40 They were shocked.
00:20:43 I told them that I will leave them here.
00:20:48 I told them that I will leave them here.
00:20:57 Roland was 20 years old.
00:20:59 He was born,
00:21:01 he was born,
00:21:02 and he grew up.
00:21:03 He was also hard to move around because he weighed 30 kilos.
00:21:09 He was heavier than half a sack of rice.
00:21:15 I was discouraged.
00:21:17 How did he start to run for love and trust again?
00:21:26 Roland lived in Sultan Naga de Maporo, Lanao del Norte.
00:21:31 When I was about to fall, I couldn't control myself.
00:21:34 I was about to fall.
00:21:36 Because of his condition, he was limited in his weight.
00:21:45 When I walk, I feel dizzy.
00:21:54 I couldn't ride a motorcycle because I was too old.
00:21:58 I couldn't find a job.
00:22:00 He was poor even in riding a motorcycle.
00:22:03 I was so sick that I was bleeding.
00:22:06 I was sick on the motorcycle.
00:22:08 Roland was only 16 years old when his left foot started to swell.
00:22:18 I was about to die.
00:22:20 I was about to die.
00:22:22 A month passed and his other foot was also swollen.
00:22:26 He was also bitten by small bugs.
00:22:29 I was bitten by a bug.
00:22:33 I couldn't help him.
00:22:35 I was the one who took care of him.
00:22:42 The nurse said that he had elephantiasis.
00:22:47 She said that he couldn't operate because he was about to return home.
00:22:51 He was about to return home.
00:22:52 Elephantiasis or lymphatic filariasis.
00:22:59 It's a simple bite of a mosquito.
00:23:01 It's not an operation.
00:23:02 There's no indication of surgical in this case.
00:23:06 I was so emotional.
00:23:08 I was looking for my best friend.
00:23:11 I was the one who was looking for my best friend.
00:23:12 Despite his condition, Roland was determined to be a benefactor.
00:23:20 In 2015, he joined the construction in Cebu.
00:23:24 He met his housemate, Jennifer.
00:23:28 I saw him for the first time on the street.
00:23:32 He was walking.
00:23:33 He looked like an artist.
00:23:36 I liked his brown eyes.
00:23:39 When I saw him, my heart skipped a beat.
00:23:43 I was lost at that time.
00:23:45 I didn't like any art.
00:23:49 I also sent him food.
00:23:51 I noticed him passing by the ship.
00:23:54 "Roland, be careful with what you're doing so you won't get into an accident."
00:23:59 I wasn't ashamed because if you love someone, you'll do everything to make him notice you.
00:24:05 In the end, Jennifer was in love.
00:24:09 Roland liked and courted his best friend at that time.
00:24:16 I was angry at him, not at my friend.
00:24:20 Roland answered Jennifer's friend.
00:24:25 "Nothing, nothing, nothing."
00:24:27 But in the end,
00:24:29 We were together for a month.
00:24:30 I was so upset because of him.
00:24:33 When Jennifer found out,
00:24:35 I told him that I like him.
00:24:38 He replied to me.
00:24:40 He thought about it.
00:24:44 I was so upset.
00:24:45 I couldn't answer him.
00:24:47 I was so upset.
00:24:48 At that time, I was so happy.
00:24:50 I was so happy.
00:24:51 I was so happy.
00:24:52 I was so happy.
00:24:53 I was so happy.
00:24:54 I was so happy.
00:24:55 I couldn't answer him.
00:24:57 He just changed his answer.
00:24:59 But it didn't develop yet.
00:25:02 Roland needed to work in the fishing village.
00:25:05 He promised to come back after 6 months.
00:25:09 He just called me.
00:25:10 He told me not to wait for him because he already has someone else.
00:25:15 I was hurt.
00:25:16 I was broken.
00:25:17 After he called me,
00:25:19 I didn't text or call him.
00:25:21 Jennifer insisted on moving on.
00:25:24 I don't know.
00:25:25 That's how much I love him.
00:25:28 After 6 years,
00:25:30 I posted on Facebook that it's my birthday.
00:25:33 I posted a comment.
00:25:35 I posted, "How are you?"
00:25:37 "I'm fine."
00:25:38 One month before he replied to my comment,
00:25:43 "I'm fine. I'm just tired."
00:25:45 I was so happy when he wrote that in my room.
00:25:48 He asked me,
00:25:51 "Did you love me when I was young?"
00:25:53 "Yes."
00:25:54 I told him, "I don't have any feelings for you."
00:25:57 But Roland was worried.
00:25:59 Jennifer didn't know his condition yet.
00:26:02 And he was afraid that,
00:26:04 just like other people he was in a relationship with,
00:26:06 he would leave him.
00:26:07 He told me,
00:26:08 "If you leave me, you won't be discouraged."
00:26:11 "You might not have feelings for me."
00:26:15 "You might not love me."
00:26:17 I was so happy when he sent me a picture.
00:26:22 I wasn't happy when he sent me a picture.
00:26:26 I still love him.
00:26:28 And to prove that he really felt for Roland,
00:26:33 Jennifer traveled from Cebu to Palanao del Norte.
00:26:37 No matter what you do to me,
00:26:40 even if you tell me that I'll go back to Cebu,
00:26:43 I won't do it.
00:26:44 I felt that he was the one who would wash my hands.
00:26:48 He was the one who would wash my hands.
00:26:52 I saw him kissing me.
00:26:54 I was so happy.
00:26:55 I was so happy.
00:26:56 I was crying.
00:26:57 I felt like a woman.
00:26:59 I felt like a woman.
00:27:01 I was so happy.
00:27:02 I didn't know what to do.
00:27:04 He kissed me and hugged me.
00:27:06 He hugged me and kissed me.
00:27:07 I was so happy.
00:27:08 I was so happy.
00:27:10 He was the one who would wash my hands.
00:27:16 I felt that he really loved me.
00:27:22 He didn't hurt me.
00:27:24 I will accept him no matter what.
00:27:26 Even if he doesn't have a leg.
00:27:28 They've been together for two years now.
00:27:32 And because Jennifer is going to Cebu,
00:27:35 they often have LDR or long distance relationship.
00:27:39 They also often have LQ or lover's quarrel.
00:27:42 I told her that if we have a fight,
00:27:45 we shouldn't separate.
00:27:47 Now, Jennifer is making sure that Roland is regularly visited in Mindanao
00:27:57 so that he can serve.
00:28:00 Bayabas leaves, Agabon leaves, and Agunoy leaves.
00:28:06 I boil it and after it boils, I put it in a container.
00:28:11 It won't rot.
00:28:15 It won't smell bad.
00:28:17 I don't get tired because he is strong.
00:28:20 I don't ask for anything in return from him.
00:28:24 Just him.
00:28:26 And for their future, they have a small pork shop.
00:28:31 I'm also the first one.
00:28:32 When I was young, I didn't have a job.
00:28:35 How can I live with him?
00:28:37 Some people also ask me why I'm the one who is chasing after men.
00:28:41 I also answered them that your heart doesn't love me.
00:28:45 My heart does.
00:28:46 And on December, Roland proposed to Jennifer.
00:28:52 This ring is cheap but my love for him is priceless.
00:28:57 The importance of the ring is not for me.
00:29:00 What's important is that we can wear it.
00:29:03 And because it's Jennifer's birthday on Wednesday,
00:29:08 Roland surprised her with his love.
00:29:12 Surprise love.
00:29:14 Happy birthday.
00:29:15 Thank you.
00:29:18 [Roland's birthday]
00:29:20 I'm so happy to meet you.
00:29:32 Thank you for everything.
00:29:33 I love you so much.
00:29:34 Thank you for everything.
00:29:39 I'm so thankful to you.
00:29:41 Love you, love.
00:29:42 I love you too.
00:29:43 [Roland's birthday]
00:29:45 We are old now.
00:29:50 We will be separated when we die.
00:29:53 I still want to fight for her.
00:29:56 Because she felt that even my situation is like this,
00:30:00 she accepted me.
00:30:02 Meanwhile, to help the couple,
00:30:06 the LGU of Sultan Naga Dimapuro reached out to them.
00:30:11 Grocery items and his livelihood to be followed at Municipal Agricultural Office.
00:30:18 I hope that there is help for my situation so that our relationship will continue.
00:30:26 And I still want to get better so that I can make up for my shortcomings.
00:30:31 Often, wherever love is found,
00:30:35 even if it's far from us,
00:30:40 it's just a step.
00:30:42 In remote barangays like Kapalong in Davao del Norte,
00:30:54 only hanging bridges are the only ones that connect to the rice fields and other barangays.
00:31:00 What if they now gave up their lives?
00:31:07 [Crying]
00:31:09 The barangay of Suaon in Kapalong, Davao del Norte
00:31:17 is almost at a loss
00:31:19 because of the recent earthquake.
00:31:22 I will get you!
00:31:24 [Crying]
00:31:27 Oh my God!
00:31:28 I'm dead!
00:31:30 I will get you!
00:31:34 The hanging bridge in their barangay was given.
00:31:39 What they are looking for is the heavy wood
00:31:46 because of the constant rain in this part of Mindanao these past days.
00:31:53 I will get you!
00:31:55 I will get you!
00:31:57 I will get you!
00:31:59 I will get you!
00:32:02 I will get you!
00:32:04 What's worse is that the 120-meter-long Taguango Hanging Bridge was cut off
00:32:12 while more than 40 people are still hanging on the bridge.
00:32:17 The residents helped save some of the victims
00:32:22 who are fighting for their lives right now.
00:32:27 [Crying]
00:32:30 [Crying]
00:32:31 [Music]
00:32:34 [Crying]
00:32:36 19-year-old Cyril was ordered to buy rice
00:32:42 when a river crossed his motorcycle.
00:32:45 I was in a hurry to get to the hanging bridge
00:32:50 because the motorcycle was about to hit the bridge.
00:32:57 I was already hurt by the motorcycle.
00:33:00 I was already hurt by the motorcycle.
00:33:04 I was bleeding.
00:33:06 Cyril's motorcycle was lucky enough to hit the bridge.
00:33:11 So, Cyril and his cousins risked their lives to get it back.
00:33:17 Rice!
00:33:26 Almost half an hour later,
00:33:28 they were able to save the motorcycle.
00:33:31 I am very thankful to my aunt, sir,
00:33:35 because she helped me get the motorcycle.
00:33:37 [Cheering]
00:33:39 Jeric was able to let go of everything,
00:33:42 except his cell phone.
00:33:44 He held it tightly,
00:33:46 even though one of his hands was holding the cable of the rope
00:33:50 until he saw his nephew, Cyra,
00:33:54 who fell and was about to drown.
00:33:57 I sacrificed my cell phone
00:33:59 so that my nephew could be saved.
00:34:02 I could see his cell phone,
00:34:04 but I couldn't see his face.
00:34:06 I took off his clothes and told him,
00:34:08 "Please, be kind to me, sir."
00:34:10 I held a few banana leaves.
00:34:14 We ran to the bridge.
00:34:16 I was thrown there.
00:34:18 [Screaming]
00:34:22 Annalyn, who is 33 years old,
00:34:24 was at home when she heard that the water level in the river rose.
00:34:29 I saw the water rising,
00:34:31 so I told my son,
00:34:33 "If you come, let's go home."
00:34:36 She said that she was really shocked
00:34:38 when she saw her children,
00:34:40 who were 14 and 9 years old,
00:34:42 riding a motorcycle.
00:34:44 But Annalyn was brave enough to go to the bridge.
00:34:46 I was really scared.
00:34:48 [Screaming]
00:34:51 I was really scared.
00:34:52 I was really scared.
00:34:54 I was really scared.
00:34:56 [Screaming]
00:34:58 She fell into the deep river,
00:35:01 and she was seriously injured and wet on her face.
00:35:05 I was really scared.
00:35:07 I was really scared.
00:35:09 [Screaming]
00:35:11 I was really scared.
00:35:13 I was really scared.
00:35:15 I was really scared.
00:35:18 Nais was just lucky that she was at the end of the river when it was hit.
00:35:22 Her grandfather, Kian, was rescued.
00:35:25 I was really scared.
00:35:27 I almost died, sir.
00:35:29 My child was also injured.
00:35:31 Four days after the accident,
00:35:36 the hanging bridge that was given to her
00:35:39 was still submerged in the middle of the river.
00:35:41 They were excited to go there.
00:35:43 There were so many people.
00:35:46 Some of them were watching, some were catching wood,
00:35:49 and some were taking selfies.
00:35:51 That was the reason why the hanging bridge was given.
00:35:53 According to the barangay of Suaon,
00:35:56 he was the one who was injured in the accident.
00:35:58 The NGO acted quickly.
00:36:00 They immediately sent help.
00:36:02 [Screaming]
00:36:04 But some were injured and left with a long-term cut of their ribs,
00:36:10 just like what happened to Joseph's father, Castillo.
00:36:15 When I arrived, someone called me,
00:36:17 "Sir, your father's ribs are gone."
00:36:19 The rescue of their father was not easy.
00:36:22 I couldn't do it because I was a poor man.
00:36:25 I couldn't even hold my wife's hand.
00:36:28 I couldn't do it because I was just a child.
00:36:30 I couldn't do it because I was just a child.
00:36:33 They tried to bring him to the hospital,
00:36:36 but everyone was already caught.
00:36:38 [Screaming]
00:36:41 But what was the real reason for the hanging bridge?
00:36:45 In 2015, the Taguango Hanging Bridge was built,
00:36:50 which connects Puruk 1, Adelanto, and Puruk 2, Taguango, in the barangay of Suaon.
00:36:56 It was a way for students to go to school.
00:36:59 And people also pass through here to buy products.
00:37:03 But in 2017, it collapsed for the first time.
00:37:09 And then, we went back to 2021 up to now.
00:37:11 That's the history of the bridge being destroyed because of the flood.
00:37:14 The bridge was repaired and reopened in 2021.
00:37:19 The two towers there are made of steel and concrete.
00:37:23 We used 1-1/2-inch diameter standard steel.
00:37:27 We have an angle bar on the side of the flooring.
00:37:31 We also have a secondary so that the children won't fall.
00:37:35 The flooring is made of wood.
00:37:38 The Municipal Engineering Office of Kapalong clarified that
00:37:41 the heavy load of the wooden floor is not due to the continuous rain,
00:37:46 but rather due to overloading.
00:37:49 [Screaming]
00:37:52 The load limit of people is 5 to 10 persons.
00:37:56 Because of the destruction of the bridge,
00:38:00 life in Barangay Suaon is now difficult.
00:38:04 Before, it only took 5 minutes to cross the bridge.
00:38:08 Now, residents still have to walk for 1 to 2 hours to reach an alternative route.
00:38:17 They can also ride a raft made of wood
00:38:32 to cross the river quickly.
00:38:34 But it's only 7 in the morning and the line is already long.
00:38:42 Since the bridge was destroyed, we have been riding here
00:38:45 because there is no other way to go to the school.
00:38:48 It is also heavy in the pockets, especially for the students.
00:38:52 It is very difficult because 20 pesos per person is enough for the children to carry in the school.
00:39:00 If I have to carry a raft, I will just use a plait to cross the river.
00:39:03 To help the students, we will make free massages for them.
00:39:08 We also made that before.
00:39:10 They also don't have life vests.
00:39:13 It is still dangerous, especially when the river is 15 feet deep.
00:39:17 This is a big adjustment for us.
00:39:23 It is very dangerous, sir.
00:39:26 [Music]
00:39:28 To save money, some residents are swimming manually.
00:39:42 Like this man who is diving with his dog.
00:39:51 He is carrying a bag and he is trying to lift it so it won't get wet.
00:39:55 This is a massager, sir.
00:40:01 I'm just kidding.
00:40:03 The rope is important to us because first of all, we have students.
00:40:08 And the products, there is no other way to cross our needs,
00:40:13 if not the rope.
00:40:16 We are asking for help from those who are watching right now.
00:40:21 Even if it's just a little help, because it's really hard if there is no rope.
00:40:26 Meanwhile, the City Engineer's Office has already made an inspection.
00:40:30 Their plan here is to replace concrete rope that they requested from DPWH of Region 11.
00:40:38 The Mayor's office has already written to DPWH
00:40:43 to inform them of the immediate need for the repair or if not, reconstruction of the new road.
00:40:48 Unfortunately, it was not in the hands of DPWH that the rope was found,
00:40:52 because it is not along the national road.
00:40:54 Because the mandate of DPWH is national roads and bridges and major flood control only.
00:41:00 What we can suggest for them is to draft a resolution
00:41:04 and submit it to the provincial government or to their representatives for possible funding.
00:41:11 Meanwhile, as a help, the local government unit of Kapalong
00:41:14 has already sent groceries, medicines, and checked up the affected residents.
00:41:20 We just gave them antibiotics, pain reliever, and anti-tetanus shots.
00:41:26 I have also made an official request to the government
00:41:29 to send their support to the reconstruction of the new road.
00:41:32 But the problem is, we have already signed the list of the flood control.
00:41:35 Do you know? The resolution is not in our hands.
00:41:37 [Chanting]
00:41:44 I hope that the promises to them of a stronger and safer road will not be left unfulfilled.
00:42:01 Attention! Let's meet the viral, strong, brave, and sympathetic GWA police of Leyte.
00:42:11 There are many guilty who were caught by the police's eyes and ears.
00:42:19 They are willing to be imprisoned for their charisma.
00:42:24 Sir, if loving is a crime, please arrest me now.
00:42:29 The netizens are asking, who are these GWA police?
00:42:34 So, for research purposes only, our team moved to the Police Regional Office 8 in Palo, Leyte, where they are located.
00:42:45 And one of the three of them, we will bravely face.
00:42:51 The strong, strong, and sympathetic
00:42:59 is Patrolman Julius Rael or Jules at your service.
00:43:07 They will just imprison me.
00:43:10 You have heard a lot of police.
00:43:13 I have an experience like that. I will also be a police because I want to be with Sir Jules.
00:43:19 He is a police, a confessor, and a pervert.
00:43:22 He was bitten by painful words.
00:43:26 When I was a student, my friends bullied me that I was dark.
00:43:31 My classmates told me that I cannot have a girlfriend because no one likes me because of my appearance.
00:43:39 He was bashed several times.
00:43:42 I was courting him. He said that he will answer me.
00:43:47 Last night, we were still okay.
00:43:49 Then, he said I love you, I love you.
00:43:51 The next day, I was already drunk. I was gassed. He left me in the air.
00:43:56 His insecurities increased when he joined the training.
00:44:01 I have a lot of complaints.
00:44:03 Even my mom and dad, they do not know what I look like.
00:44:08 Are you our son?
00:44:10 This is where Jules will project his glow up.
00:44:16 He is a skin care expert.
00:44:18 I take gluta.
00:44:20 I do skin care.
00:44:25 He gained weight.
00:44:28 I go to the gym after work, 7pm to 9pm.
00:44:42 And he admitted that he thanked the doctor.
00:44:46 I did rhinoplasty.
00:44:48 So that my confidence would be boosted.
00:44:50 His makeover that took 2 years in the making.
00:44:55 It is worth it because glow up is real.
00:44:59 Oh, Pak, who are you?
00:45:05 Gargios.
00:45:10 He is handsome. And he is a police officer. I like him.
00:45:13 Neat and handsome.
00:45:15 Before, I was not noticed. Now, when someone sees me,
00:45:18 "Hey, you look different. Who is your doctor? Where did you get your makeover done?"
00:45:22 I just say, "I just prayed."
00:45:24 Jules is now being recruited as a brand endorser.
00:45:31 Clothing, skin care products, and opening of a restaurant.
00:45:38 He has a talent fee and you will endorse him.
00:45:40 And the former bastard to him.
00:45:43 I am already unblocked. I am already being chatted.
00:45:46 I was a bit annoyed.
00:45:49 I bought a push-up. I am grateful that I met him.
00:45:54 I am proud of him for what he has achieved now.
00:45:57 He deserves so much better.
00:45:59 But Jules is not just a former.
00:46:04 I am also hardworking, giving, and helping others.
00:46:08 I can also help the community.
00:46:12 He is a fan of community relations.
00:46:15 I was excited during the Eastern Summer that we brought PNP to remote places
00:46:21 to have a relationship between PNP and the residents.
00:46:25 Good day, fellow students!
00:46:27 And of course, fellow students, we will also go to San Juanico Bridge Aesthetic Ceremonial Lighting
00:46:34 When it comes to talent, he also has something to show.
00:46:37 I am a member of the Police Hurainon Mananayaw.
00:46:42 We perform folk dance, modern dance.
00:46:45 When I dance, there are girls who are excited.
00:46:54 There are also girls who are fighting and they are the first ones to take pictures of me.
00:47:00 I am so excited!
00:47:02 His ambition to join the police force is fulfilled.
00:47:10 This is my father's dream to become a police officer.
00:47:13 Son, fulfill your dream.
00:47:15 But the training was not easy.
00:47:17 You will be a member of your family.
00:47:19 You will go to the fields, like operations, you will encounter the NPA.
00:47:23 Patrolman Jules will serve for 5 years.
00:47:28 He is a talented and important person in challenging jobs.
00:47:31 He has inspiration.
00:47:33 He is a singer, a local artist here in Tacloban.
00:47:38 He has a beautiful voice.
00:47:40 The one who is being trained by our police officer is Honey Grace.
00:47:45 I met Jules in my school.
00:47:49 We were on a date, we watched a movie, and I sent her food.
00:47:55 Baby, answer me now.
00:47:57 Baby, answer me now.
00:48:00 Baby, answer me now.
00:48:02 Because you already trusted me with your love.
00:48:05 I am still courting her.
00:48:07 When everything is okay, I can wait for her.
00:48:24 The brave one in the field,
00:48:26 he has a strong heart in facing his true feelings.
00:48:31 This Wednesday, Jules again invited Honey Grace on a date.
00:48:39 After their dinner,
00:48:52 Jules asked Honey Grace a question.
00:48:56 Since I have been courting you for 3 months,
00:48:59 will I get your sweet lips?
00:49:02 Jules, you know, in the 3 months of courting you,
00:49:08 even when I stopped you,
00:49:11 you still gave up.
00:49:14 Because I finished, I told you to wait for me.
00:49:20 Now, I don't see any other reason for you to not answer me.
00:49:24 So, what is your answer? Will you answer me?
00:49:31 Mission accomplished!
00:49:39 Baby, answer me now.
00:49:41 Baby, answer me now.
00:49:43 Baby, answer me now.
00:49:45 Baby, answer me now.
00:49:47 Because you already trusted me with your love.
00:49:50 I was so surprised.
00:49:52 Speechless.
00:49:54 Speechless because I didn't expect this.
00:49:57 I can't deny that I didn't mix anything else.
00:50:01 Jules, thank you so much for all your understanding,
00:50:05 waiting, and making me happy.
00:50:08 I am so happy tonight.
00:50:10 There is no equal happiness.
00:50:12 I hope she won't cheat on me.
00:50:14 To the police, to her love life, or to her job,
00:50:19 cheating is prohibited.
00:50:23 Baby, answer me now.
00:50:25 Baby, answer me now.
00:50:27 Baby, answer me now.
00:50:29 Baby, answer me now.
00:50:31 Because you already trusted me with your love.
00:50:35 [Music]
00:50:42 After 15 years,
00:50:46 when the child was born in the forest,
00:50:50 there was a secret that was revealed.
00:50:55 Not only in the movie Mind Tandem,
00:50:58 that Elvis and James,
00:51:00 but also in real life,
00:51:03 we met a lot of people in the wild.
00:51:05 Elvis and James.
00:51:08 James grew up with fear of God.
00:51:11 He is a super good boy.
00:51:13 You can't see that he is cheating on you.
00:51:15 Elvis is a supervisor in a company.
00:51:17 That's why he was able to meet the needs and studies of James, who is now in 10th grade.
00:51:23 I do sports.
00:51:27 Taekwondo, basketball.
00:51:29 James is also a smart kid.
00:51:32 He is happy. I support him.
00:51:33 He knows that I love that kid very much.
00:51:36 Elvis gave everything to James,
00:51:40 even though he is not his real son.
00:51:43 In 2008, Elvis met Mary Joy,
00:51:47 who used to work in a bar in Cagayan de Oro City.
00:51:51 I was invited to a bar happening.
00:51:53 I was thrilled that time.
00:51:55 Elvis found out that Mary Joy had a 10th child.
00:52:01 I had a son, my real son.
00:52:03 I left him because I felt guilty.
00:52:06 I wanted to be a complete father.
00:52:08 That's why I took the child.
00:52:10 James is a kid.
00:52:12 They are like a family.
00:52:14 Especially that he fell in love with Mary Joy, the mother of the child.
00:52:19 But eventually, Elvis made Mary Joy face her biggest secret.
00:52:27 I couldn't do it because I'm more attracted to men than women.
00:52:31 I told him, "Go home."
00:52:35 Wow, you're so beautiful.
00:52:39 No matter what kind of bad days Elvis went through, James is still alive.
00:52:43 James was sick at that time.
00:52:46 I called my father "Papa" because he is rich.
00:52:50 I used to call him "Papa" because he is rich.
00:52:55 I called him "Papa" because he is rich.
00:52:57 I told him, "Papa, you are my life."
00:53:00 After 15 years, the father and son are now living in peace.
00:53:05 Until one day, they received a Facebook message from James' real mother.
00:53:11 I said, "Hey, this is surprising. Why are you making me feel bad again?"
00:53:16 She said, "James' lover is there. That's why I was shocked that time."
00:53:23 James has a lover.
00:53:26 I was shocked that my father called me "Kambal."
00:53:32 Elvis remembered what Mary Joy often said.
00:53:36 "This is a Kambal." She made a joke.
00:53:39 I said, "I can't believe that there's a Kambal because I have a certificate of a baby that there's only one baby."
00:53:47 When she went to Mary Joy, Elvis found out that James' Kambal is named Joveth.
00:53:54 Although he doesn't know where it is now.
00:53:58 When it's my birthday, I want to see my Kambal face to face because I want to share it with the world.
00:54:06 Elvis' call to find James' Kambal was broadcasted on social media.
00:54:13 Until someone commented that he knows the Kambal that James is looking for.
00:54:17 Three hours from Maramag, Manolo Fortich, in Bukidnon,
00:54:24 a man was left with a man.
00:54:27 His body is flat, although his hair is long.
00:54:30 His resemblance to James is noticeable.
00:54:34 He is 15 years old, Joveth, the son of Fernando and Jenny Lynn.
00:54:42 When Joveth was born, he was looking for a Kambal.
00:54:46 Joveth also eats.
00:54:49 I took Joveth at first because he was already vaccinated. It was painful. I was afraid of the baby.
00:54:54 When James was in 10th grade, Joveth was in 7th grade.
00:54:59 I was not allowed to go to school because I was afraid of the house.
00:55:06 It was a bit annoying because I was afraid of going to school.
00:55:12 I was afraid of going to the classroom.
00:55:15 Fernando, Fernando.
00:55:20 It has been 15 years since a famous Mary Joy gave birth to this new born Kambal.
00:55:30 His mother worked in a bar. I felt sorry for the children. They only drink water and brown sugar.
00:55:38 While they were one baby, they did not know who gave birth.
00:55:43 Joveth is a big man, but he is full of love for his parents.
00:55:50 But one day, something was missing.
00:55:53 I want to see them when I have a baby.
00:55:59 After 15 years, they were surprised when they heard that someone was looking for Joveth, who is possibly a Kambal.
00:56:07 I wish that I could see my brother.
00:56:11 I was able to say that they will be able to see each other.
00:56:16 A few days before the 16th birthday of Kambal, our team prepared a surprise.
00:56:23 The back of a van was decorated.
00:56:26 At that moment, James and Elvis were in the park.
00:56:31 Later, the van stopped them.
00:56:35 When the van door opened, James received a Kambal surprise.
00:56:45 Wait, I'm nervous.
00:56:49 Because of the van, Joveth was able to see his Kambal for 15 years.
00:56:57 The meeting was so exciting.
00:57:07 They are crying.
00:57:09 They are crying.
00:57:11 We will be back.
00:57:16 Kambal was separated by fate when their real mother was sent to a different family in the forest.
00:57:24 James grew up with his father Elvis.
00:57:30 I was just worried that I was wrong.
00:57:35 Joveth was raised by his father Fernando and his mother Irene.
00:57:42 So, Joveth was able to see his Kambal and his relatives.
00:57:46 Yesterday, Kambal was destined to meet.
00:57:52 From Maramag, Bukidnon, James and Elvis traveled for 3 hours to Manolo Fortich.
00:58:03 They went straight to a park.
00:58:07 Later, a van stopped in front of them.
00:58:12 Okay, okay.
00:58:15 Surprise!
00:58:22 Happy birthday!
00:58:24 Happy birthday, my friend!
00:58:27 James didn't know that he would be surprised here.
00:58:34 They were surprised to see their Kambal.
00:58:36 Advance happy birthday!
00:58:38 They were surprised to see their Kambal.
00:58:41 They were surprised to see their Kambal.
00:58:44 They were surprised to see their Kambal.
00:58:47 They were surprised to see their Kambal.
00:58:50 This is Axel, my Kambal.
00:58:53 Is that your Kambal?
00:58:56 Yes.
00:58:59 I was so happy when I saw my Kambal.
00:59:04 I was so happy because I just saw my brother.
00:59:08 I haven't seen my Kambal since I was 16 years old.
00:59:13 I was so happy when I saw him face to face.
00:59:17 James and Joveth were like mirror images of each other.
00:59:24 I want to see my Kambal and my family.
00:59:30 Kambal introduced each other to their parents.
00:59:36 This is Papa Fernando.
00:59:39 Fernando Ventura.
00:59:41 This is Mama Jenilene.
00:59:44 This is Papa Elvis.
00:59:51 I'm so happy that James and his family are together.
00:59:55 I think James is not alone in life.
00:59:58 He doesn't have a family.
01:00:00 He met his mother, but it's still incomplete.
01:00:06 He saw his Kambal about 16 years ago.
01:00:12 Meanwhile, our team tried to contact Mary Joy, the mother of Kambal.
01:00:19 She refused to give an interview.
01:00:21 She's not angry.
01:00:23 She's not angry at all.
01:00:25 I haven't scolded her or declined her.
01:00:28 I don't feel angry that I was given to another person.
01:00:34 Are you sure that you don't have a Kambal?
01:00:39 That you're just waiting to be with him again?
01:00:45 [Music]
01:00:53 Sometimes, the sea has a hidden treasure.
01:00:59 Like a bottle with a letter and money that a fisherman picked up in Romblon.
01:01:07 Where and who is it from?
01:01:11 [Waves]
01:01:18 Last July in Concepcion, Romblon,
01:01:23 JP was looking for something when he saw something that caught his attention.
01:01:28 I saw a bottle with a letter and money that I opened.
01:01:35 Who is the letter from?
01:01:39 It's written that the child is like a wife.
01:01:41 This is from Earth Erika Trasho. I am from Toledo City, Cebu.
01:01:46 I hope you enjoy or this 500 pesos will help you.
01:01:50 Just pray for me that I will finish my studies.
01:01:56 I'm happy too. I'm spending this money.
01:01:58 JP showed this to his wife, Christina.
01:02:02 I was surprised and happy that I couldn't understand my reaction.
01:02:07 I put the money and the letter in my wallet as a remembrance of the sea.
01:02:11 And from then on, they were like a family.
01:02:16 When I saw the bottle, I caught a lot of fish.
01:02:19 JP's income from fishing is enough for the daily needs of his wife and two children, Prince and Ira.
01:02:29 When I caught a lot, I sold 300 to 400. I'm saving that for the kids in school.
01:02:37 But no matter what, they never thought of spending the 500 pesos with the body.
01:02:44 We went to the market. The only thing in his wallet is the 500 pesos.
01:02:49 We just borrow sometimes. I believe that if you don't spend the 500 pesos, the wish of the child will come true.
01:02:57 If the child just knows how his message in a bottle became an inspiration.
01:03:05 I'm an expert in fishing to help the kids.
01:03:08 I want to be a coast guard to help my mom and dad.
01:03:16 I thought that the child will also wish that he can help his family.
01:03:23 They tried to find the name of the child online but they couldn't find it.
01:03:28 So they asked for help in our program.
01:03:34 In our Pananaliksik,
01:03:36 we found the 10-year-old boy from Toledo City in Cebu whose name is Tugma in Liham.
01:03:47 Erica is just so.
01:03:50 Erica is really fond of writing.
01:03:52 I wrote Arlo Sans. We all have the same name.
01:03:57 I'm a Spanish.
01:04:00 Her dad is Ricardo, a former company driver in Cebu.
01:04:04 His mom, Mary Grace, was a former employee in a private company.
01:04:09 Our life was hard because our ATM has a receiving machine.
01:04:14 When the salary came, we couldn't live anymore because the rent was too high.
01:04:19 So we just ate food for consumption at home.
01:04:22 Erica is a big challenge for them.
01:04:28 She is a caesarean surgeon. We always take her to the hospital.
01:04:31 I don't have a hospital loan.
01:04:33 We have no money to pay the rent.
01:04:35 It was hard before.
01:04:37 You are the one who pays the rent.
01:04:39 We don't have money to pay the rent.
01:04:41 They are so strict with you.
01:04:43 We just pray.
01:04:48 I hope that we will have a good time and make money.
01:04:51 Until one day, Ricardo
01:04:55 I won the Swift Race. I won 30,000 pesos.
01:04:58 Then, I won the second and third races.
01:05:00 I won a big prize. I won 900,000 pesos.
01:05:04 I won 1.2. I won again.
01:05:07 450,000 pesos.
01:05:09 God really gave me money.
01:05:11 We hid the money.
01:05:13 They made a business out of rice and loans.
01:05:17 God gave me a little grace.
01:05:20 I realized that I want to help others.
01:05:24 I was able to help my mom.
01:05:26 I was able to help my dad.
01:05:29 I was able to help my mom.
01:05:31 I was able to help my dad.
01:05:34 My mom said, "I have money."
01:05:36 I said, "Why?"
01:05:38 I told her, "I have money."
01:05:40 I was able to help people.
01:05:42 I was able to help people.
01:05:44 I was able to help people.
01:05:46 I was able to help people.
01:05:48 I was able to help people.
01:05:51 Every time they travel to the sea, they are able to send a message in a bottle.
01:05:57 They have a lot of wishes.
01:05:59 When it comes to the bottle, it's made of plastic.
01:06:01 It floats. It doesn't sink.
01:06:04 It goes to different islands.
01:06:07 That's why I thought that I will use plastic.
01:06:10 And when they visited Mindoro on June 8, they thought of going to the sea again.
01:06:18 We wrote, "Daddy, I have a wish. I want to finish my studies."
01:06:22 I want to do that so I can help people.
01:06:27 My son said, "Let's put money in it, Daddy. Maybe someone will be able to help."
01:06:32 He wished and he threw it.
01:06:34 We looked at it until it disappeared from our sight.
01:06:38 They sent a bottle.
01:06:41 They traveled 90 kilometers from Calapan City in the Mindoro Oriental until JP was able to catch a fish in Romblon.
01:06:51 And now, JP has a wish.
01:06:55 I hope that I can see it.
01:06:58 JP's wish is beyond his knowledge.
01:07:02 He wants it to be fulfilled.
01:07:07 On Wednesday, the Trosho family traveled from Cebu to Romblon to see what was written in Erika's letter.
01:07:16 JP's wish is wish granted.
01:07:20 Sir, this is a good afternoon.
01:07:24 In our return…
01:07:28 I'm so happy because I thought that you won't see us when we were kids.
01:07:35 A fisherman in Concepcion, Romblon caught a message in a bottle that had a price tag of 500 pesos.
01:07:44 This is from Earth Erika Trosho. I am from Toledo City, Cebu. I hope you enjoy or help this 500 pesos.
01:07:54 The one who wrote the letter is a Cebu native, a child named Erika.
01:07:59 I have a wish. After I finish my studies, I want to put money here so that I can help.
01:08:05 I hope that I can see it.
01:08:08 This Wednesday, Erika and her parents traveled from Cebu to Romblon.
01:08:26 We were nervous. We saw the message. We wanted to talk to her and ask her what feelings she had.
01:08:33 In those moments, JP was by the sea where he was caught by the bottle.
01:08:41 He didn't know that he would meet the child who wrote the letter in the bottle and gave them inspiration.
01:08:52 Sir, this is a good afternoon.
01:08:55 Thank you.
01:08:56 Here you go, son.
01:09:02 Here you go, son.
01:09:04 This is a good afternoon.
01:09:06 Please, please.
01:09:08 This is Earth Erika. She wrote a wish for her dad.
01:09:19 I'm so happy because we didn't know that we would meet the child.
01:09:25 We searched on Facebook, but there were a lot of Earth Erika.
01:09:30 We asked if you are Earth Erika, but there was no reply.
01:09:35 I still lost hope in finding the child.
01:09:38 What's your name?
01:09:40 We're happy that you met.
01:09:42 Me too, sir.
01:09:44 Thank you.
01:09:46 Thank you.
01:09:47 I'm crying.
01:09:50 I'm so happy.
01:09:54 Look at me.
01:09:58 They are the ones who are doing what dad did.
01:10:04 But we didn't expect that you are the one who got the child.
01:10:09 We're from far away from Cebu.
01:10:15 JP also showed us the money and letters he hid from Erika.
01:10:20 This is for you and your family.
01:10:26 Thank you.
01:10:29 The family prepared a gift for JP.
01:10:35 This is from our poster.
01:10:37 School supplies for Prince and Ira.
01:10:43 There's chocolate.
01:10:45 What grade are they in?
01:10:52 Grade 2 and grade 4.
01:10:56 JP was given a fish by his family.
01:11:01 Just a little.
01:11:03 Thank you.
01:11:05 Thank you for being an inspiration to us,
01:11:10 so that we can work and give our children a better future.
01:11:14 May God guide us in our dreams.
01:11:18 Thank you.
01:11:20 JP and Christina's wish to finish their children's education was already in their hands.
01:11:31 They even gave a college scholarship for their children.
01:11:37 When we heard the story, our hearts were filled with joy.
01:11:40 We will give them a college scholarship.
01:11:42 Hopefully, their passion and heart will be sustained to achieve their dreams.
01:11:47 I'm so happy.
01:11:49 So that we won't have a hard time.
01:11:51 We will still strive.
01:11:53 Not only because of this scholarship,
01:11:55 but we will strive to hide it from them.
01:12:03 We can say that the intention and purpose of the person who made this work is good.
01:12:08 The action of throwing plastic in the ocean, we don't encourage it.
01:12:13 This will contribute to our marine pollution.
01:12:15 Our wildlife species can eat this.
01:12:28 The dreams, when we strive, no deep sea or far island can stop us to make them come true.
01:12:41 Thank you so much.
01:12:43 Thank you so much, Kapuso.
