00:00♪♪
00:10♪♪
00:30I'm Jackie Sobrea Rice, 15 years old.
00:33Jackie, are you abnormal?
00:35You're beautiful, but I can't see your beauty on TV.
00:40For everything, my winner is Jackie.
00:42We saw in you the potential to be a singer.
00:46Your voice is unique.
00:47There's a texture that we didn't hear in them.
00:50It's not common for your voice to come out.
00:53The Pinoy Pop Super Starstruck is...
00:57Jackie Rice!
00:58♪♪
01:04A Starstruck computer opened
01:07and all the secrets and surprises of tonight's program are there.
01:13I don't know what's real. I didn't open it.
01:15Jackie! Jackie!
01:17Starstruck says thank you to...
01:19Jackie! Jackie! Jackie!
01:23Arcee.
01:25You may take your final bow.
01:27♪♪
01:30Jackie!
01:32Jackie, my child.
01:34You're so good. You're safe.
01:36You didn't get removed.
01:38Why are you crying?
01:39Mom, I shouldn't have been removed.
01:42I shouldn't have been defeated.
01:44I went through so much to get here.
01:48I shouldn't have been removed,
01:49especially if that computer issue will be the reason.
01:54My child, what really happened there?
01:57Tell me.
01:58Mom, it's true. I saw it.
02:01But it's not true that I was the first one to know.
02:05There were many other candidates who saw it.
02:08There's nothing wrong with that, Mom.
02:13My child, I believe in you.
02:18But believe me,
02:20you will not lose in this contest.
02:24Now you must prove that you deserve to win.
02:29Mom, I think I need to confess.
02:32I think I need to clear my name.
02:37Do whatever you think is right.
02:40I won't let you down. I'm right behind you.
02:43I won't leave you, my child.
02:46Thank you.
02:49For a short time,
02:50she became the ultimate female survivor
02:53in the Starstruck Nationwide Invasion.
02:56In her victory,
02:58her childhood dream came true
03:01to become an actress.
03:03But who is this woman behind her beautiful angel
03:08and her newfound success?
03:11Dear friends,
03:13Mrs, here's your baby.
03:15It's a beautiful baby girl, Mrs.
03:18I wish I had a baby like her.
03:21She's so beautiful and neat.
03:23She's so neat and neat, like an angel.
03:26Hello.
03:27She's so beautiful and kind.
03:30She's really like an angel.
03:32I'm so happy for you.
03:34Here.
03:36Thank you.
03:37You're welcome.
03:38She's so beautiful and kind.
03:41She really looks like Angel. She's so beautiful.
03:43You're so lucky, sis.
03:48Baby is so cute, right?
03:49Yes.
03:50She looks more like me.
03:52Yes, you look so much like her.
03:54Baby the moon.
03:57She's so cute.
04:01James?
04:03James?
04:04Vicky?
04:05James?
04:06What's wrong? What happened?
04:09I'm bleeding, James.
04:10Come on.
04:11I'm bleeding.
04:12Let's go. Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital.
04:14I'm bleeding.
04:17Take care of the baby, okay?
04:19Okay.
04:23You know,
04:26I used to say that
04:29if I have a daughter,
04:31I can die.
04:34Then when I saw Jackie,
04:36when I gave birth to him,
04:39I said,
04:41I can't die yet.
04:44I want to live because I want to take care of him.
04:49Honey, I don't want to die.
04:53I don't want to die.
04:55Don't worry.
04:57You're fine.
04:59You're going to live till a hundred.
05:01That's for sure.
05:03Yes.
05:09Doctor,
05:11how did the operation go?
05:13Well, we found a considerable amount of placental debris in her uterus.
05:17We have to remove it because it's starting to rot.
05:21It could cause septicemia or blood poisoning.
05:23Actually, it has already affected parts of her reproductive organs.
05:27So what does that mean?
05:29Don't worry, Mr. Rice.
05:31Your wife is in a stable condition.
05:34It's a good thing that we were able to catch her.
05:36Because if we let this rot,
05:39it could cause cancer.
05:42So, are you sure?
05:43You took everything out?
05:44She's out of danger?
05:46Don't worry, Mr. Rice.
05:48Your wife is safe and in a stable condition.
05:52But you have to know something.
05:55What is it, Doc?
05:57I'm sorry, Mrs.
05:58Because of what happened,
06:00you won't get pregnant again.
06:13Because they found out that they won't be able to have children again,
06:18James and Vicky became too careful with their youngest son, Jackie.
06:23Even though Vicky gave all of his organs to his son,
06:27he was too strict with Jackie.
06:29He didn't want her to go out of the house.
06:32One thing that he didn't know,
06:34Jackie was already feeling it.
06:37Because he's a son and a daughter of a woman,
06:40Jackie became close to his father.
06:43Meanwhile, since he was a child,
06:45Jackie's dream was to become an artist.
06:48Jackie became active in spreading school pageants.
06:51Hoping that this will be the way to his dream.
06:55But this is where Jackie's pain for his mother began.
07:02There, make do with that.
07:05But auntie, this is not enough.
07:08We have a lot of friends.
07:10What's not enough?
07:11And who told you to invite the whole barangay?
07:14Make do with that, okay?
07:16And come back at 8 o'clock at night.
07:18Okay, ma'am.
07:19Okay, bye.
07:20Take care.
07:21Come home early.
07:22Okay, ma'am.
07:23At 8 o'clock at night, okay?
07:24I'll be here.
07:27Mom,
07:29my teacher invited me to the school pageant.
07:34Again?
07:36There you go again.
07:38I don't want that.
07:39That's a waste of money.
07:41And we get paid a lot.
07:43We spend a lot.
07:44If you want, you can tell your father.
07:46But mom, you know that dad won't allow it.
07:50That's why I'm apologizing to you.
07:52But if you don't want to, just don't.
07:56There's your dad.
07:57Tell him.
07:59What did Jackie say?
08:02Nothing.
08:07What was that all about?
08:09Well, she wants to join a school beauty pageant again.
08:12Well, she wants to join a school beauty pageant again.
08:42Help!
08:58Uncle!
08:59Aunt!
09:00Help!
09:03What happened?
09:06James!
09:07James!
09:09James!
09:10James!
09:11Call for help!
09:12Call for help!
09:14Hurry!
09:15Call for help!
09:16It's your uncle!
09:17Hurry!
09:18Let's get him!
09:19Slowly!
09:20Slowly!
09:21Jackie!
09:23Slowly!
09:24Hurry!
09:25Call for help!
09:36Mom?
09:37Mom?
09:40James?
09:46Thank God, James, you're alive.
09:51What happened? What am I doing here?
09:54You passed out while you were inside the bathroom.
09:57Good thing Mark woke up.
09:59He saw you there.
10:02You mean I'd probably be dead now if not for Mark?
10:05Yes.
10:08Thank you, Mark.
10:09I owe you my life.
10:13Oh, baby.
10:14Stop crying.
10:15I'm fine now.
10:16I'm okay.
10:17Stop crying.
10:19I thought you were going to get caught because of us.
10:24Everything's okay now.
10:26It's okay.
10:29Fortunately, James was saved from the accident.
10:33After the accident, James became closer to his family.
10:38Meanwhile, as he grew up,
10:41Jackie's beauty became more visible.
10:45Class, we need a strong foundation for Miss Intram.
10:51The best foundation.
10:53Ma'am?
10:54Yes?
10:55Let's go with Jackie.
10:56Yes, ma'am.
10:57We're sure of it.
10:58Not only is she pretty, she's really beautiful.
11:00Yes, let's go with Jackie.
11:03Okay.
11:04I'm okay with that idea.
11:06What about you?
11:07The whole class, are you okay with it?
11:08Yes, ma'am.
11:09Yes, ma'am.
11:11Okay.
11:12What about Jackie?
11:13No, I can't.
11:14There she goes again.
11:15I can't.
11:17But, ma'am, I already said yes.
11:18The whole class is hoping that I'll be their opponent,
11:20and you won't allow it?
11:22Why did you answer when you didn't even say goodbye to me?
11:26The whole class is supporting me.
11:27They said they'll help with the expenses.
11:29Oh, I don't know about you.
11:31It's up to you.
11:32But you, no matter what I say to you,
11:34no matter how much I stop you,
11:36you won't listen to me.
11:42With Jackie's pregnancy,
11:44Vicky became more attached to the baby girl.
11:47She's guarded by her,
11:49even when it's time for Jackie to go home.
11:53Okay, brother.
11:54You talk to your mom.
11:55Where did you come from?
11:56It's already late.
11:57It's already late.
12:00It's my classmate's birthday.
12:01We already ate outside.
12:03So, it's your birthday again?
12:05Is that what you're going to do?
12:07Or is it a school project?
12:08It's really my classmate's birthday.
12:10Whose birthday?
12:11Whose wedding?
12:12Whose funeral?
12:14I hope, Jackie,
12:15you'll learn how to say goodbye next time.
12:17Do you understand?
12:19Ma,
12:20Tita,
12:21I'll take care of her.
12:24Sorry, Ma.
12:27Sorry.
12:33I didn't do anything right.
12:37You said goodbye,
12:38but you won't let me go.
12:40You went home late.
12:41You didn't catch the bus.
12:43I didn't know what to do.
12:45It's always impossible.
12:46It's impossible.
12:47It's impossible.
12:48I'm always trapped here.
12:52Try to understand Tita.
12:54She's just worried about you.
12:56Why you?
12:57Why does she allow you to go out?
13:00But when it comes to me,
13:01she's so strict.
13:05Of course, we're different.
13:06We're men.
13:08No matter what happens outside,
13:10we can protect ourselves.
13:12No.
13:13What you're saying is,
13:14Mama doesn't love me.
13:16She only loves you.
13:17Jackie,
13:18what's wrong with you?
13:20What you're saying is not true.
13:22If I get mad,
13:23I'll tell Papa the truth.
13:25Jackie.
13:26Why?
13:27All I can say is the truth.
13:30That she doesn't treat you like her own children.
13:32That you,
13:33Brother Marvin,
13:35Brother Medel,
13:36and Brother Marlon
13:38are your first wife's children.
13:40But Brother Marlon
13:41is the only one she knows as her own child.
13:44Didn't you have a hard time?
13:47You didn't call her Mama.
13:50The two of us know how to talk,
13:52but you still call her Tita.
13:54How long are you going to pretend?
13:56Enough.
13:58Enough of what you're saying.
14:01Why?
14:03Do you think we're not having a hard time?
14:06We're having a hard time, Jackie.
14:09We're having a hard time.
14:11You're not taking Mama seriously enough
14:14to tell Uncle James the whole truth.
14:18Jackie,
14:19listen to me.
14:20Listen to me.
14:22No matter what Mama's reason is,
14:24why she's not telling Uncle James the truth,
14:28we need to respect that.
14:32Do you understand me?
14:34Even though he's smart and has a good heart,
14:37Vicky's daughter, Jackie,
14:39couldn't stand him.
14:40That's why on the day of the contest,
14:43Jackie.
14:45Jackie.
14:47Jackie, wake up.
14:48Mom, I'm sorry.
14:51Why are you sorry?
14:54You're not used to me anymore.
14:58Son, I'm not mad at you.
15:00It's just that sometimes,
15:02my mouth is a bit noisy,
15:04but that doesn't mean
15:06I'll be mad at you.
15:08Especially on the day of your contest.
15:11Huh?
15:12Oh my God.
15:13Now I need to get ready.
15:15That's why I'm waking you up.
15:16Because the makeup artist is already there to fix you today.
15:20Really?
15:21You did that for me?
15:22Of course.
15:23I want you to be the most beautiful person on this day.
15:26You should be the winner.
15:28Thank you, Mom.
15:29I love you.
15:30I love you too.
15:34Because of the support of her parents,
15:36Jackie was chosen to win that contest.
15:40That's why Jackie is closer to her mother.
15:43Mom?
15:48Why are you up so late?
15:51I'm not sleepy yet.
15:54Sit here.
16:06Jackie,
16:07I'm sorry, okay?
16:13I know that you're often mad at me because I'm too strict.
16:21I just don't want anything to happen to you.
16:28Do you know that
16:31I'm really sorry?
16:33Do you know that
16:36I had a complication
16:39after I gave birth to you?
16:43I almost died then.
16:47My whole body was weak
16:49and I was bleeding a lot.
16:54Then,
16:57after my surgery,
16:58the doctor said
17:00that I will never have a child again.
17:07That's why I love you so much, my child.
17:12That's why I protect you so much.
17:17I know that, Mom.
17:20I also know that sometimes,
17:22we're bad girls.
17:23That's why I understand why you're mad at me.
17:26But, why are you crying?
17:36Because I'm having a hard time.
17:44I'm having a hard time hiding my tears.
17:48I'm having a hard time.
17:49I'm having a hard time hiding my tears.
17:55Do you know that there's not a single day that I'm not afraid?
18:01There's not a single day that I'm not nervous.
18:07It's so hard.
18:10It's so hard to hide my tears.
18:14Mom, I know that when Papa finds out the truth,
18:17he will understand you.
18:20He loves you so much.
18:24I don't know.
18:26I don't know.
18:30For now,
18:33for now, the secret that I'm afraid of is no longer there.
18:40I'm afraid of what will be the reaction of your father.
18:43He might get mad.
18:47He might leave us.
18:50I won't be able to do that.
18:53I love your father so much.
19:00For a long time,
19:03Vicky has been carrying the burden of a secret
19:06that she can't tell her husband, Jay.
19:10She can't face her husband, James.
19:14She can't believe that her son, Jackie,
19:18is the one who will set her free from the burden she's carrying.
19:25Hey,
19:27it's a miracle that you're all here at home.
19:34Uh,
19:36why are you so quiet?
19:39Did something happen?
19:42Hey!
19:47Where's your Uncle James? Huh?
19:51Honey!
19:53What happened? Why are you so quiet?
19:56What's this?
20:05Why did you lie to me, Vicky?
20:08Why?
20:13I want to know the truth.
20:16I need to know the whole truth about Mark, Mindell, and Martin.
20:39It's true. Everything is written in this paper.
20:48They're my sons from my previous marriage.
21:00James,
21:02I've been wanting to tell you this since the beginning.
21:05I've been wanting to tell you this since the beginning.
21:12That's why I'm scared.
21:16Because since you came into our lives,
21:22my sons had a new happiness.
21:26You made them feel the love that they didn't feel from their real father.
21:31That's why I'm scared that if you don't know the truth,
21:38they will lose their father for the second time.
21:44The father who loves them.
21:50I'm sorry.
21:54I'm really, I'm really, very, very sorry.
21:57I'm really, I'm really, very, very sorry.
22:01Vicky, I told you how I never felt loved as I was growing up.
22:10I was 12 years old when my parents stopped sending me to school.
22:16And I had to start working, small jobs.
22:22And I've been working ever since.
22:25And I thought that that was all life was about.
22:30Until I met you.
22:34Until I met your wonderful children.
22:41You taught me how to love myself.
22:46You taught me how to love.
22:48You taught me how to love.
22:56I'm sorry.
22:58I'm sorry.
23:01I'm sorry.
23:03There's nothing you have to be sorry for.
23:06I understand completely.
23:10You did what you thought was right.
23:14You were trying to protect your children.
23:18I admire you for that.
23:22Thank you.
23:49I love you.
24:01After unveiling the secret that had been hidden for a long time,
24:06and was waiting to be revealed,
24:08they all took a deep breath, especially Vicky.
24:12Since then, their family has been formed.
24:15Because they were exposed to the truth and their love for each other.
24:20Jackie, on the other hand, continued his dream of becoming an artist.
24:25My daughter is so beautiful.
24:28She's smiling like that.
24:30It looks like you're just reeling from the beauty contests.
24:32Hey, if I'm reeling, there's nothing wrong with that.
24:37And my daughter is not forcing herself to attend these contests.
24:42She's the one who's taking it for your information.
24:43Mom, that's enough. Don't be so sympathetic.
24:46I won't allow anyone to speak ill of you.
24:49And you, Nene.
24:51Remember this.
24:53Next time, you'll ask me what's going on.
24:55And if you don't, I'll slap you.
24:58Like that?
24:59Yes.
25:00This mother is too much.
25:01I'm not too much.
25:02Mom!
25:03Stop it.
25:04She's just a kid.
25:05She's just a kid.
25:07Stop it, Mom.
25:08Okay, sit there.
25:13Life might take me away.
25:16I like love.
25:18I like the love in this town.
25:21Watching from, watching from the outside.
25:25I realize just what I need you.
25:30I've been going away.
25:34But I'm always coming back to you.
25:39Jackie.
25:40Jackie.
25:41I have to go.
25:43Are you being followed?
25:44No, I'm not.
25:45Oh, my.
25:46Someone's talking to me downstairs.
25:49They're asking if you're a print ad model.
25:51Really?
25:52Yes, yes.
25:54Congratulations, congratulations.
25:56Come, come.
25:58Not long after, Jackie became a model for various products.
26:03Since then, opportunities came one after another for her.
26:07She won the second runner-up in Miss Ambales 2004
26:12until Starstruck came along.
26:18You will not join.
26:21I've been supportive of you, Jackie.
26:23But joining a talent contest on television is just too much.
26:28I will not allow it.
26:30Dad, this is really what I want.
26:32You don't understand what you're getting yourself into.
26:34This is no ordinary show.
26:36It's reality TV.
26:38It's going to get ruthless.
26:40And we won't be there to protect you.
26:44Please don't do this to yourself, Jackie.
26:48And please don't do this to us.
26:58Despite her father's orders,
27:00Jackie continued her audition for Starstruck,
27:04The Nationwide Invision.
27:06Jackie was chosen to join the Top 200.
27:10But when she joined the Top 60,
27:14This is all old, Mom.
27:16We should buy a new one.
27:18The other contestants' clothes are new.
27:20I'm old.
27:21I'll just look pitiful there, Mom.
27:23Why did you just tell me now that you need new clothes?
27:26Where are we going to buy new clothes at night?
27:29Because I'm not going to join anymore.
27:32You're not even supporting me.
27:34If you don't want to, then don't.
27:36Who's forcing you to join?
27:39It's just you.
27:41Who are you messing with?
27:56You know,
28:00It doesn't matter whether the clothes you have on are old or new.
28:05You have already in you everything you need to win.
28:09Just be honest.
28:11And have the passion to make it happen.
28:13And it will happen for you, Jackie.
28:16I thought you were angry.
28:19I could never be angry with you.
28:23You're my little baby, remember?
28:25I know that.
28:27But this is what I really want to do.
28:30This is my dream.
28:32To be an artist.
28:34But I can't do this alone.
28:36I need your help, Mom.
28:39But you do have our support, Jackie.
28:42That's what we're here for.
28:44To help you make your dreams come true.
28:48Thank you.
28:50Come here, come here, come here.
28:54Come here.
29:18Mom, I'm sorry.
29:20Please don't be mad at me.
29:24I really can't.
29:26I won't force you anymore.
29:30And I won't join Starstruck anymore.
29:35It's good if that's the case.
29:38If you're here in Gapo,
29:40I'm already worried if you'll go back to Manila at night.
29:45Manila is so big.
29:47There are a lot of thugs there.
29:50Mom, please don't be mad at me.
29:52I'm sorry.
30:02Come here.
30:13You know what?
30:17No matter how far Manila is,
30:19and no matter how big it is,
30:23I won't stop you.
30:26Because I know that's where you'll find the fulfillment of your dreams.
30:33Mom.
30:38So, go to sleep.
30:41We'll leave early tomorrow so that we can reach Manila early.
30:45Then we'll go straight to the mall.
30:46We'll buy the clothes that you need.
30:48Really?
30:53Don't cry anymore.
30:55Huh?
30:57Later, your tears will run out in the audition.
31:01If you cry, you won't be able to cry anymore.
31:04Thank you.
31:08I love you.
31:10I love you too, Mom.
31:16I love you too, Mom.
31:29Jackie was so happy when his mother announced that he will continue his audition for Starstruck.
31:37His mother's determination and support made Jackie go to Manila early to audition.
31:43It didn't take long for him to be included in the final 14.
31:49But at this point, Jackie had to face more trials.
32:00I noticed his nervousness right away.
32:04Let's watch Ms. Olonga who already had a pictorial before.
32:14Crazy Frog is here.
32:31Jackie, why aren't you rehearsing?
32:36You're so pale. What's happening to you?
32:39I'm just confused, Mom. I don't understand. But I'm okay.
32:41Huh? You're not sick. Do you want me to excuse you?
32:46I'm okay. I'm really okay, Mom.
32:49Are you sure?
32:50I promise.
32:52You might have a sweat on your face.
32:54Okay, final 14. Ready for your next test. Let's go, guys.
32:59Can you do it?
33:00Yes.
33:01You can do it.
33:02You can do it. Be happy.
33:03Okay.
33:04Good luck.
33:07It looks like you don't want to do this, Jackie.
33:09Jackie, you have a hard head.
33:11Jackie, are you abnormal?
33:13Why are you turning to the right and suddenly you're turning to the left?
33:17What is your problem, Jackie?
33:19You better stop that right now or I'm going to send you out of the room.
33:23I will not tolerate drama-drama in this room.
33:28Are you okay?
33:30I'm just dizzy and I'm afraid of Sir Douglas.
33:34Jackie, how are you?
33:36Hey, you're still dizzy.
33:39Do you want to eat?
33:41Do you want me to buy you medicine?
33:43What do you want?
33:44Mom, I'm really okay. I promise.
33:46You're still dizzy.
33:48Are you hungry?
33:50Mom, you're not okay.
33:52You might collapse first.
33:54Aside from reminding Jackie about the starstruck,
33:57she also complained about her family being left behind in Olongapo.
34:01That's why she went back and forth on the trip
34:03from Manila to Olongapo until…
34:07Hi! Hello!
34:09I'm here!
34:12Mom, how are you?
34:14Mom, how's Jackie?
34:16She's fine.
34:18Is she happy there?
34:20You know, we would've liked to go there so we can see an artist.
34:26Mom, we're with you.
34:28It's boring here in Gapo.
34:29It's boring here in Gapo.
34:31Oh, my children.
34:33She's happy there, that's why she's tired.
34:37Hi!
34:38Hi, honey!
34:42I think we should pull Jackie out of that contest.
34:47Why are you saying that?
34:49I don't like seeing her humiliated on national television.
34:53Oh, honey, that's part of their training.
34:56And they're not being scolded for no reason.
35:00You know, I can see Jackie's determination to win.
35:04She's very happy with what she's doing.
35:07I don't know.
35:09It's just too much.
35:11Honestly, I'd be happier if she gets thrown out of that program.
35:20Mom, you saw on TV how Jackie was being scolded by the choreographer.
35:26Jackie used to be in Gapo.
35:28No one could compare to her.
35:30And now, she's being humiliated all over the Philippines.
35:34That's why she's angry.
35:47Mom, I can do this.
35:49No, I can do this.
35:50Mom, I can do this.
35:51I said I can do this.
35:52I'm okay.
35:53You don't have to do that, Mom.
35:55I can do this on my own.
35:57I'm doing this because I don't want you to have a hard time.
36:01You're making fun of me. You're making me look like a kid.
36:13I'm sorry, dear.
36:18Maybe I forgot that you're not a kid anymore.
36:24Maybe you can take care of yourself.
36:29I'll just stay here with Ate.
36:35Mom.
36:53Mom.
37:02Because of the intense fatigue and pressure that Jackie was feeling in Starstruck,
37:08she yelled at her mother.
37:10Vicky felt bad after what happened.
37:13She went back to Olongapo to explain to her family.
37:17Every time I think of her, I feel bad.
37:22Why? Who is she worrying about?
37:26Mom, maybe Jackie is just tired.
37:29Marlon, if she's tired, I'm tired too.
37:33If she's crying, I'm crying too.
37:35If she has an early call time, I wake up earlier than her.
37:39I'm the one who's worried. I'm the one who's embarrassed.
37:43Honey, don't let the stress get to you.
37:47It's a contest and it's very competitive.
37:51Put yourself in Jackie's shoes.
37:53There's probably a thousand things going on in her head.
37:57But what's important is you know that she loves you.
38:01Please be a little patient with her.
38:03Honey, you know what? I don't understand you.
38:09At first, you were the one who wanted to pull Jackie out of that contest.
38:13And now you're trying to stop her.
38:16Who are you taking side with?
38:19Honey, please don't get me wrong.
38:22Mom, maybe what Uncle James is trying to say is that he's not taking side with anyone.
38:27Besides, we shouldn't be taking side with anyone.
38:33Maybe Jackie is just annoyed that you're always together.
38:38Maybe she feels sorry for you.
38:40That's why she wants to carry her things.
38:43That's why I came home so that I won't have to shout.
38:48And I don't want to be called a stage mother.
38:52Is that so?
38:54Mom, maybe you shouldn't join Starstruck.
38:59Because you're better at crying than Jackie.
39:05Okay, laugh at me.
39:08I don't know where I'm going.
39:11When I'm in Manila, I shout.
39:14When I'm here, I laugh.
39:17Honey, so nice.
39:27After Vicky went back to Olongapo,
39:30Jackie faced a new challenge for herself.
39:34Jackie faced a new challenge for herself.
40:04Jackie faced a new challenge for herself.
40:07Jackie faced a new challenge for herself.
40:09Vicky.
40:34Jackie Rice is really beautiful.
40:36But she's a whore, isn't she?
40:38Even her mother is shouting at her.
40:40She hasn't won yet.
40:41She'll probably kick her if she wins.
40:43She probably will.
40:44It's like her daughter is a turn-off.
40:52Jackie, don't pay attention to them.
40:54You know what they're saying is not true, right?
41:01At that moment,
41:03Jackie felt her loneliness.
41:06She was overwhelmed with sadness and grief
41:08for her family.
41:10Especially,
41:11on Christmas Eve.
41:14Hello!
41:15How are you guys?
41:16How's Mama?
41:18We're okay.
41:20Do you want to talk to her?
41:22Wait a minute.
41:23Ma,
41:24this is Jackie.
41:25Do you want to talk to her?
41:27I don't want to.
41:34Mama has a lot of things to do.
41:36She said she'll call you later.
41:39Is that so?
41:41Do you want me to go down to Manila
41:44so you can be with someone?
41:45No, I'm okay.
41:47I'm fine here.
41:48I just called to wish you a Merry Christmas.
41:51Are you sure you're okay there?
41:53Yes, I'm fine here.
41:56Okay, bye.
41:58Merry Christmas to all of you.
42:00Merry Christmas to you too.
42:02Bye.
42:26Merry Christmas to you too.
42:57Even though there was a misunderstanding,
43:00Vicky's support for her son continued
43:04while Jackie continued to fight for Starstruck.
43:09Until...
43:11Pa, thank you for coming here.
43:14I didn't know you were coming.
43:17I just want you to know
43:19that we're all completely behind you.
43:22You're doing a great job.
43:23You're putting up a good fight.
43:25And I'm proud of you.
43:27Thank you.
43:29But why isn't Mama here yet?
43:33Maybe she's still mad at me.
43:39Is that what you think?
43:42Ma.
43:43I can't stand you.
43:51I'm not mad at you.
43:55Ma, I'm sorry.
43:58I didn't mean to hurt you.
44:02It's okay.
44:04It's okay.
44:18I'm proud.
44:19I'm happy she has developed a certain sense of direction
44:24that it's something that she seems to really like
44:28and she's willing to work towards this,
44:31so I'm happy for that.
44:54I love you.
45:00After a successful meeting between them,
45:03another event happened
45:05that seemed to be a test for Jackie's resilience.
45:08Someone opened the Starstruck computer
45:11and all the secrets and surprises of tonight's program are there.
45:17No one wants to admit to you
45:19that this is just a show
45:21to show that you should trust Starstruck.
45:24Then I showed it to SST,
45:27then Jackie opened it.
45:30Do you know what's true?
45:32I didn't open it.
45:33But when we went back to...
45:35I didn't open it first.
45:36I know you already know.
45:38Jackie told me that when she was doing her make-up,
45:41she said that RC was reading with her.
45:45We asked RC.
45:46Maybe it's just me.
45:47Al already knows everything about RC.
45:49I don't want to be biased.
45:51They're all good.
45:52I admit that I was also the one who opened it.
45:56In the middle of the controversy,
45:58Jackie admitted to joining the so-called issue.
46:02It's not impossible for her to reach her dream.
46:06I know it's my fault for looking at it,
46:09but I didn't think about it
46:12because there are many people who saw it before me.
46:16I'm apologizing to you.
46:18I hope you'll give me another chance.
46:25To be honest,
46:27it's not easy for you to admit it.
46:30That's why I'm asking you to do it.
46:33But in the middle of this,
46:35people will still decide what will happen to you.
46:39I hope you're ready for what might happen.
46:42Because of Jackie's confession,
46:45her fans supported her even more.
46:47They gave her a lot of support.
46:50That's why...
46:51Let's call the first one to sit on the starstruck seat.
46:56You may now come up stage
46:58and take your starstruck seat.
47:05Jackie Rice!

47:45My Little Prince
47:49Jackie user the oxygen
47:51during the final 4.
47:54From Olongapo,
47:55we can witness her effort
47:58in getting closer and closer
48:00to achieving her dreams,
48:14James, don't drink too much, okay?
48:41I'm happy because before the finals night, at least, you were allowed to go home.
48:49Oh, why are you still not happy?
48:53Nothing, I'm just nervous because the finals night is coming.
48:58I don't know if I will win.
49:01Jackie, my child.
49:04Listen, even if you win or not, for us, your father and your siblings, you are the winner.
49:14And even if you don't become the ultimate survivor, at least you're already an artist.
49:21Isn't that your dream?
49:24And you know what?
49:25You're already famous, not just in Gapo, but in the whole Philippines.
49:32I can't believe that you can achieve all of this.
49:35Imagine, back then, I didn't want to let you go out and you might get hit by a car.
49:43What if something bad happens to you?
49:46But now, my child, the world is full of challenges.
49:52That's because of the support you gave me.
49:56I believe that it's because of your perseverance and determination.
50:03And we're so proud of your father and your siblings.
50:07We love you so much, my child. Remember that.
50:15Mom, thank you.
50:18Let's go.
50:21Mom.
50:22Joey.
50:23Where are you going?
50:24I'm going to get some food.
50:25Okay.
50:26Let's go.
50:42Jackie, how's life as an artist?
50:45What are you talking about? I'm not an artist yet.
50:48But you're reading a script.
50:51You know, it's hard for me.
50:55It's tiring, but that's how it is.
50:59If you love what you're doing, you won't notice how tiring it is.
51:03Everything's getting easier.
51:05What about the gimmick in Manila? Is it fun?
51:08Gimmick? I can't sleep because I'm so tired.
51:11You're a gimmick.
51:12If I'm rich, I'll be rich.
51:15That's how it is.
51:16So, you'll be an artist forever.
51:19There's nothing stopping you.
51:21What about your studies?
51:23Hi, there.
51:24Hi, Daddy.
51:25There you are.
51:28So, how's my baby?
51:30He's okay. He's happy, but he's tired.
51:34I know. I can see that.
51:36Promise me one thing, Jackie.
51:39Promise me you'll finish your studies.
51:42Pa.
51:43Can you promise me that?
51:46That's Jackie Rice.
51:49She's not just a dreamer,
51:51she's not just a believer,
51:52she's also an achiever.
51:53She's a star.
51:56Because of her support,
51:58not only her family,
52:00but also Jackie's countrymen,
52:03are waiting for a sweet victory for her.
52:16Starstruck Ultimate Female Survivor is…
52:22Jackie Rice!
52:23Jackie Rice!
52:53M, A, or B, and send to 4627 or 2364.
52:57Here, you can win P10,000.
53:08Wait a minute,
53:09your lipstick is still thin.
53:11Let's add more.
53:12Mom.
53:13That's lip gloss.
53:14That's mine, Mom.
53:16It's simpler and prettier.
53:18That's what I learned from Starstruck.
53:20Is that so?
53:21Yes.
53:23It's simpler.
53:24You'll show your true self.
53:26Makeup will fade.
53:28Beauty is inside.
53:30It won't fade.
53:32No matter how long.
53:34I've known you for a long time.
53:38I love you, Mom.
53:39I love you, too.
53:42Oh no!
53:43She's coming!
53:44We might be late.
53:45Congratulations.
53:54Wow!
53:55You're already a star.
53:57Is that how you feel?
53:59No,
54:00because an artist should be idolized.
54:04That doesn't mean
54:06that I became a star.
54:08But deep inside of you,
54:10you're not the Jackie from the past.
54:12You're so far away.
54:13You're so far away.
54:14You're so far away.
54:15You're so far away.
54:16You're so far away.
54:17You're so far away.
54:18You're so far away.
54:19You're so far away.
54:20You're so far away.
54:21You're so far away.
54:22You're so far away.
54:23What do you miss the most
54:24when you're not the Jackie Rice of Starstruck?
54:27When it rains,
54:28I let the rain fall on my bag.
54:30You buy fishballs from Anto's.
54:32I buy everything.
54:33But now, it's not allowed anymore.
54:35A lot of people say
54:36that's where I go to the malls.
54:37Do you still have time to buy your own clothes?
54:40Some people already do.
54:41And now, it's not allowed anymore.
54:43You won't go out pretty.
54:44You need to smell good.
54:46But do you like it?
54:47At first, I liked it.
54:49But now,
54:50I feel like it's too much.
54:51You miss your independence.
54:52Yes.
54:53Is this really the career you want?
54:55Yes, this is it.
54:56What's the hardest thing you've done so far
54:59as an actress?
55:02Crying.
55:03It was hard for me at first
55:04because I was thinking,
55:06why would I cry?
55:08Are you close with your father?
55:09We're close.
55:11But I don't have the strength
55:13to tell him the secret.
55:15So, your father is an American?
55:17Yes.
55:18No wonder, his nose...
55:20Look at his nose.
55:21Do you want to go to America?
55:24Is that one of your ambitions?
55:26Yes, I do.
55:27I want to get to know my father's side,
55:30my relatives there.
55:31Who do you idolize?
55:33Angel Oxen.
55:35Angel Oxen?
55:36Yes.
55:37So, you want to be an Angel Oxen one day?
55:38It's not far.
55:39Maybe, if you really want to.
55:41It's not far.
55:43There are a lot of showbiz stars
55:45who become famous
55:46because they take on bold roles, right?
55:50No.
55:51Is that how parents treat you?
55:53Yes, of course.
55:54Oh, is that so?
55:55If they see that your clothes are too sexy,
55:58can you change that?
56:01Who's strict?
56:02My father.
56:03Because my father,
56:04I'm his only daughter.
56:06He didn't lack in advice
56:08that you need to be kind to everyone.
56:11Did he tell you that?
56:12Yes.
56:13Before, he didn't say that he didn't like it.
56:16Now, he sees that I love my job,
56:19what I do.
56:20Now, he says,
56:21you need to be kind to the people around you.
56:25Because,
56:26if you look good on TV,
56:29they'll be twice as tired if you're tired.
56:31And you appreciate that of your dad?
56:33A lot.
56:34Because there are other kids who don't like that.
56:36Especially on Christmas,
56:38when I called him,
56:39he really said,
56:41I'm so proud of you,
56:42even if you didn't win.
56:44So, can you say that your relationship with your dad improved?
56:48Yes.
56:49Because of your entry into Showbiz or Starstruck?
56:51Yes.
56:52Even if I wasn't with him when I was in Starstruck,
56:56or at home,
56:59we weren't that close.
57:02Now, I can say,
57:03if I'm separated from him,
57:05I want to go back to the time when we were together.
57:08I can't do it anymore.
57:10I wish I was with them at a time like this.
57:13But, I don't regret being here.
57:15Because I know they're happy for me.
57:17When was the last time you,
57:19or have you ever told your dad,
57:21I love you?
57:22When we were still together,
57:23when I wasn't an artist yet.
57:25I want to tell him that I love him,
57:28but I feel shy.
57:30I don't know,
57:31I really can't express it,
57:34because I'm with him.
57:36I can't show him how much I love him.
57:40Daddy, I love you.
57:42See how simple it is?
57:44And you know what?
57:45They also love to hear that from their children.
57:48Because now,
57:49I want to tell him that.
57:51He's far away.
57:52He's far away.
57:53Yes.
57:54There's no distance between two people in love.
57:58You just think that.
58:00How has your relationship changed with your mother?
58:02It's the same with my dad.
58:04I want to be with him.
58:06Do you think that we have an inspiration for your life?
58:11Before,
58:12I can't tell the truth.
58:15I'm afraid.
58:16I lie because I know that it will be revealed.
58:18But no.
58:19The value in your mind is right.
58:22Did you learn in your life
58:24that you should just follow your parents?
58:28Is that correct?
58:29Yes.
58:30And in the end, you realized how much they love you.
58:32Yes.
58:33They love me so much.
58:34That's why I'm here today.
58:36Thank you very much.
58:37Thank you, Aunt Mel.
58:38Thank you for everything.
58:39Thank you to GMA.
58:41Thank you to the viewers.
58:43I hope I can be a good inspiration to the kids
58:47who are my age or younger than me.
58:50Or even older.
58:51For everything that helped me.
58:53Thank you to Starstruck.
58:55Because they gave us a chance
58:57to show who we really are.
58:59Thank you.
