05:35 Alfred, at what age did you realize that you were gay?
05:39 Medyo late na po. Medyo nasa college na po. But I knew from the start nung bata ako that there's
05:45 Something different?
05:47 There's something different, yes po.
05:48 Bakit? Bakit? Bakit?
05:49 Kasi I love playing paper dolls. Tapos lumaki po ako ng mga babaing pinsan yung kasama ko.
05:54 How was your relationship with your dad?
05:56 With papa po. Ever since bata ako, siya na yung kasama namin. Kasi nag-abroad si mama.
06:03 Ah, okay. Nag-trabaho siya. Yes, nag-trabaho siya abroad.
06:06 Yung relationship ko kay papa, sa kanya po ko na-inspire ko manta. Siya po talaga yung frustrated singer.
06:12 And then when I was growing up, every Sunday po, medyo video-okay day yan.
06:18 Misan ipapagising pa po niya ako para lang mag-video-okay kasi doon lang po siya nasa bahay.
06:22 Kayong dalawa? Nag-video-okay kayong dalawa?
06:24 Kaya po yung repertoire ko medyo luma. Mga Engelbert, mga Matt Monroe, mga ganun po yung mga alam ko kong kanta.
06:32 Kasi po, it was him na nag-convince or nag-influence po sa akin na, "Alam mo, may boses ka anak. Ituloy mo yung pagkanta."
06:41 Kahit ano man ang mangyari, a ikaw at ikaw ang ukonahin.
06:55 Kahit dilim ay di mapawi, kung ikaw at ikaw makakayami.
07:10 Ikaw ngayon hanggang wakas.
07:19 Thank you, Cavite! Mahal na mahal ko kayo!
07:26 Whoo! Kanta dyan!
07:28 Ah! Ah!
07:32 Pero alam mo, sahayang talaga to si Alfreds, no?
07:36 Magaling sana, kaya lang, taba na nga, bakla pa.
07:40 Alam mo, Tess, magiging sahayang lang yang anak ko.
07:51 Maniwala siyang sahayang siya talaga dahil sa mga pinagsasasabi mo.
07:57 Bakit hindi ka manood ng barangay sinya yung contest, ha?
08:04 Kasi alam mo, kapag naging performer na yan, sa malaking benyo na, at doon may bayad.
08:11 Yun ang sahayang.
08:14 Kung ang best friend ng imang bata ay ang kanilang mga kalaro o kaklaseng,
08:21 ang unang best friend ni Alfrids ay ang kanyang ama.
08:26 Tila nakabuo sila ng isang mundo na tanging silang dalawa lamang ang mga bida.
08:33 Papanalo ko tong contest na 'to para sa'yo.
08:35 Nakuhaw, 'wag para sa'kin. Gawin mo yan para sa'yo.
08:39 Thank you, Pa.
08:45 Hindi dahil sa'yo, hindi ko marin-realize yung dream ko sa buhay.
08:50 At kabalang araw, makakapag-perform ako sa Cultural Center of the Philippines!
09:00 [laughs]
09:01 Sin galing 'to, Pa?
09:06 Wow! Parang pang Miss Universe, ha!
09:12 Ma?
09:16 [laughs]
09:17 Alfrids!
09:27 Yes!
09:28 [music]
09:29 Ito ba talaga yung susuit mo sa contest, ha?
09:40 Lumang style?
09:43 Alam mo, iba na ang dating nga sa Taiwan.
09:47 Mel, ako na may ilinya.
09:51 Alam mo, kayaan mo na muna.
09:55 Tutal, sa barangay pa lang naman ito, eh.
09:58 'Pag big time na, kuha mo siya ng magagamit niya galing Taiwan.
10:03 Eh, kaso, di na ako babalik sa Taiwan, eh.
10:14 Hindi nga.
10:20 [music]
10:21 Hindi ka na babalik sa Taiwan?
10:27 Inaasabihing sama-sama na tayo dito?
10:30 Naisip ko kasi kaya na natin pagtulungan yung pwesto natin sa Divisoria.
10:36 Ma, kaya mo naman talaga kahit noon, pe.
10:43 Kaya lang mas pinili mong iwanan kami ng isang dekada.
10:48 [music]
10:49 Ano mo?
10:55 Di bali na pa.
11:03 Hindi naman ako sasali.
11:06 [music]
11:08 [music]
11:09 Ano lang ngayari nung nakabalik na siya sa Pilipinas?
11:21 Ayan nga po. Doon ako medyo nagkaroon ng sinasabi na rebeldeus stage or what.
11:28 Kasi po, growing up, okay po yung relationship namin ni Papa.
11:31 Pero hindi po naratanggal.
11:33 Siyempre, as a young kid or as a kid, may mga questions ka na hindi mo naiintindihan.
11:39 Bakit kailangan umalis yung mommy mo or yung mama mo?
11:42 Bakit hindi kayo kumpleto pag may events sa school?
11:45 Yan, naranasan ko po yun na naiingit ako sa mga kaklasi ko na kumpleto yung pamilya nila.
11:50 And during that time, hindi ko po siya naiintindihan.
11:52 Akala ko lang po noon, ah kasi ano, parang maganda yung future namin, pera, pera, pera.
11:58 Yun po yung intindi ko that time.
12:00 Which is, ngayon, narealize ko ng hindi.
12:02 Hindi.
12:03 Those are sacrifices na ginawa ni mama for us.
12:06 Oo.
12:07 Nasa teenage years ka, natutong somehow mag-inom, mag-bisyo.
12:11 Nagpagod na.
12:12 Ay, na pa kami sa labas.
12:15 Bakit mo kasi dinobolak yung gate?
12:17 Ang bihira naman eh.
12:19 Ano mo naman tatanghaliin ka ng gising dahil sa kalasangin mo nun sa gabi?
12:24 Ano lasing?
12:26 Saan niyo ba napulot yan?
12:29 O ano, nagsinungaling yung kapit-bahay natin?
12:32 Na hindi nagpunta dito yung mga kaparkada mo?
12:34 Oo nga, nagpunta nga dito, pero hindi kami uminom.
12:38 Ano ba, krimina ba yun ngayon?
12:40 Al, huwag ka na magsinungaling.
12:43 Alam ko mga katantaduhan ninyo.
12:45 Ito na ba yun?
12:49 Ito na ba yung sampung taon ng pagihirap ko sa ibang bansa?
12:55 Isang anak na puro ng abiso, wala pang moto, walang respeto, walang utang na loob.
13:00 Isang anak na nawalan ng nanay ng isang dekada, ma!
13:04 Isang anak na litong-lito!
13:07 May isang araw may bigla nalang bagong tao na susulput dito.
13:12 Tapos ano, pinupunan lahat ng mga bangay-bagay, pati yung mga isusuot ko!
13:17 Pinipilit mong baguhin yung kwento na nakasanayan ko na.
13:23 Ano ba ang kailangan kong gawin para maging ina mo lang uli?
13:28 Isang ina na sa mahabang panahon sa napakalayo at napakalungkot na bansa
13:40 na nungulila sa kanyang pamilya.
13:49 Lalo na sa kanyang anak na mahal na mahal niya.
13:52 Lalo na sa kanyang anak na mahal na mahal niya.
13:54 Mahal niya.
13:55 Mahal niya.
13:57 Mahal niya.
13:58 [sobs]
14:26 Nakahanap na ba kita ng ibang matitiran, ha?
14:29 Para man ni...
14:33 Alam mo, kasalanan ko 'to eh.
14:43 Kung ako may talento ako sa pagkantahin,
14:48 pero pinili kong sayamin.
14:54 Nagtinda na lang ako ng kuha-nolo.
14:56 Sa nanay mo naman, napilitan na rin magtrabaho sa malayo.
14:59 At ngayon naman ikaw, unti-unti ka nang lumalayo sa kanya.
15:06 Ina, sana, ha?
15:10 Huwag ka lang mawala sa'yo,
15:13 huwag mo lang kalimutan, ha?
15:15 Kung ano at kung sino ang merong ka, ha?
15:22 [music]
15:24 [music]
15:26 Binalika ni Alfrez ang pagkantah
15:38 sa pamamanggita ng kanilang choir sa university
15:41 na kanyang pinapasokan noon.
15:43 Naging daan din ito para magkaroon siya ng papel
15:46 sa iba't-ibang musical play.
15:48 Hanggang sa...
15:50 [applause]
15:52 [applause]
15:54 Naging sunod-sunod ang mga pagtatanghal ni Alfrez
16:13 sa live events, concerts, at musical plays
16:17 na walang mintis na pinapanood ng kanyang ama.
16:22 Hanggang sa...
16:23 Ang galing mo talaga, anak.
16:26 Alam mo, kahit hindi ikaw ang bida,
16:29 lahat ng tao sa'yo nanonood.
16:31 O, gabi kaw pinag-uusapan.
16:33 Anak, proud na proud ako sa'yo.
16:38 Thank you, Papa, ha?
16:42 Mula noon, ikaw lang ang number one supporter ko.
16:49 [laughs]
16:50 Thank you, bin Mama.
17:01 [music]
17:29 Ma, Pa, may pagtatapat sana ako sa inyo.
17:38 Sana lang, wag ko kayo magalit.
17:42 Narealize ko lang ako kasi na itong pagpo-perform,
17:49 ito po talaga yung gusto ko eh.
17:52 Tsaka ito na po yung buhay ko.
17:57 Kaya po pinagtatrabaho ako po na
17:59 sana po makapasok ako sa play sa labas po ng eskwelahan.
18:03 Kaya po...
18:05 tumigil na po ako sa pag-aaral.
18:10 Ano?
18:14 Isan taong noon na lang, matatapos ka na.
18:19 Kaya nga po nagsakripisyo na malayo sa inyo na sampung taon
18:26 para makatapos ka.
18:27 Para magaro'n ka ng maganda kinabukasan
18:30 tapos itatapon mo lang ng ganun-ganun lang.
18:33 Pa.
18:34 Pa.
18:37 Pa.
18:39 Bakit?
18:40 Bakit?
18:41 Ano ko na yung...
18:42 Pa!
18:43 Pa!
18:44 Anong nangyari sa Papa?
18:45 Naturo po siya ng complications sa intestine po.
18:48 There was a time po na I stopped singing
18:51 kasi parang feeling ko po na hindi na 'to para sa'kin.
18:54 And yung fact po na,
18:56 syempre yung alam mo yung ano po ng Pinoy na
18:59 hindi naman stable na trabaho yung pagpa-perform, yung pagkanta.
19:02 They don't consider it as a profession,
19:04 especially dito sa Philippines.
19:06 May ganun type po tayong kultura.
19:08 Sabi ko, "Sige, magtatrabaho na."
19:10 So I stopped singing.
19:11 Pa.
19:17 Anong sinangalan?
19:21 Ah.
19:22 Kaya mo.
19:26 At ikaw.
19:28 Saan na yung boses mo?
19:31 Sabi ko naman sa'yo, eh.
19:35 'Wag ka nang mag-consent, eh.
19:40 Dapat sa'yo maging performan.
19:45 'Yun ang biyaga ng Diyos sa'yo.
19:51 Sa carnaval pa,
19:53 kailangan ko kasi 'tong trabaho na 'to, eh.
19:59 Makatulong man lang ako sa inyo ni Mama.
20:03 Ay.
20:07 Masalaan ako, eh.
20:12 Dahil sa akin,
20:17 pinatayin mo 'yung mga pangharap mo.
20:20 Pa.
20:26 Pa, wala akong kayong kasalanan.
20:34 Lahat naman po ng sakripisyong, ginawa niyo na lahat para sa amin, eh.
20:40 Kaya po inalaban po namin kayo, Pa.
20:46 Kaya sana, papaban din po kayo.
20:49 'Di na akong nangtatagal.
20:55 'Di na lang ang iling ko, eh.
20:58 'Yung bumalik ka na ulit sa pag-awit.
21:03 'Di na lang ang iling ko.
21:08 Wala nang iba.
21:11 Gusto ko pa.
21:12 Pakita ka.
21:15 Pagtamahal muli.
21:20 I miss you, Po.
21:26 [sobbing]
21:42 Dito na nag-desisyon si Alfres.
21:46 Nabalikan ang isang entabladong minsan niya nang tinalikuran.
21:55 Tara yun naman ang outfit natin, Contessa number 10!
21:58 Pangmalakasan!
22:00 Bongga!
22:02 Actually, pinatahito ng papa ko.
22:06 Dapat noon ko pa siya sinuod.
22:08 Pero ngayon ko lang gusto.
22:11 Oo, ang sweet naman.
22:13 Andito ba siya ngayon?
22:14 Wala nga, eh.
22:16 Naconfined kasi siya ngayon.
22:19 Pero di bali.
22:21 Sosurprise ko naman siya ng trophy ko.
22:24 Ganon, so alam mo na mga judges,
22:26 papanunan natin ang batang ito para bongga ang surprise sa kanyang papa.
22:30 Papa?
22:44 Bakit nandito ka?
22:52 Bakit ba paano ka pa niyan?
22:54 Napakatigas ang ulo ng papa mo.
22:57 Paano naman eh?
23:03 Huwag ka na kumaharti siya, nanak.
23:09 Andito ko.
23:15 Hindi ako akalis.
23:18 [music]
23:23 Salamat anak ka.
23:24 At nagbalik ka sa pag-awi.

25:54 Labis ang saya ni Arnulfo na makita ulit na kumakanta at nagtatanghalang kanyang anak.
26:01 Pero unti-unti rin siyang tinalo ng kanyang malubhang sakit.
26:07 Arnulfo,
26:12 kung hirap na hirap ka na,
26:18 kung hindi mo na kaya,
26:21 painga ka na.
26:26 Pa.

26:55 Pangarap po natin yun, 'di ba?
26:59 Salamat.
27:04 Salamat.
27:06 Pa.
27:08 Mamamati ako, mamasaya.
27:16 Wag.

29:29 Well, you should be, Al.
29:30 I gave you this spot because I believe in you.
29:34 So don't waste it, okay?

30:49 in the LRT,
30:51 on the streets,
30:52 in the bathroom,
30:53 or even in the bathroom where Mariah pees,
30:57 I'm always there smiling.
31:00 I'm always there.
31:01 I can hear the voice of my beloved son.
31:07 Papa...
31:09 You can do it, son.

33:38 I dreamt that he was there in the audience and watching.
33:42 Just a dream?
33:44 Just a dream. He was there in the audience and he was just handsome.
33:47 And the next day, we did our last show.
33:51 I saw Tito Danny Javier watching the show.
33:57 And he was sitting where my dad was sitting in my dream.
34:01 He was sitting there.
34:03 And his son was with the cast.
34:06 So when I saw Tito Danny, I hugged his son, Juvim.
34:09 I said, "You're so lucky because your dad is still here and you're still doing his show."
34:14 Because that was my dream, that I would watch Papa again on stage.
34:19 The show, "Ki Apo High Kani Society," you were there, right?
34:21 Yes, this musical, I played one of the lead.
34:24 I was with Mark Bautista, Rita Daniel.
34:28 Too bad, Papa couldn't make it.
34:31 [laughs]
34:34 [laughs]
34:36 Wow!
34:40 You're so good, son.
34:42 I'm sure that your dad will make it to heaven.
34:45 Yes.
34:47 Mom, I'm also very sure.
34:49 Until now, Papa is still supporting me.
34:53 I'm so proud of you, son. You're so good.
34:57 Thank you.
34:59 Hi!
35:03 Hi!
35:04 Alfred's, right?
35:06 Yes.
35:08 I am from Jimmy's 7.
35:09 I produced "The Clash."
35:11 Oh, boy!
35:14 I really think that you have the talent to win it.
35:17 Really? But...
35:19 Yes, my son will join. He's good.
35:23 Ma'am, do you have a calling card?
35:26 Wait a minute.
35:28 She doesn't have one.
35:32 Here.
35:33 Thank you.
35:34 I look forward to seeing you at "The Clash," Alfred's.
35:39 Thank you. Thank you.
35:41 Okay, I'll go ahead.
35:43 Thank you, Ma'am. Thank you. Thank you.
35:45 Thank you.
35:47 Because of the support of his mother,
35:50 Alfred's didn't waste the opportunity
35:54 to face the singing contest of GMA, "The Clash."
36:01 He was counted in the top 12.
36:04 Until...
36:06 Which of these two will you bring back to the top of "The Clash"?
36:10 The one who will return to the top of "The Clash" is...
36:14 Welcome back, Clark.
36:21 [music]
36:32 Son, how are you?
36:40 Why, Mom? What are you expecting?
36:44 I'm here because I lost in "The Clash."
36:47 Are you sure?
36:50 You're sure?
36:51 No walling with matching "hagulgol."
36:55 No, Mom.
36:58 Look at me.
37:00 I'll start...
37:02 What is that?
37:03 Live streaming.
37:04 I'll start live streaming.
37:06 I'll sing here.
37:07 And what Dad said is right.
37:11 The world deserves to hear my voice.
37:15 [phone ringing]
37:17 Oh.
37:18 [phone ringing]
37:19 Hello, Director?
37:23 Yes.
37:26 Oh?
37:29 Really?
37:31 Thank you.
37:34 Yes, yes. Okay.
37:38 This is good news, Director. Thank you.
37:42 What did he say?
37:46 He said...
37:47 I'm a good son.
37:50 What?
37:51 Just kidding.
37:54 It's just extra rice.
37:56 That's a lot of extra rice.
37:58 No.
37:59 The nominees for the 11th Field Stage Awards for Performing Arts have already been announced.
38:04 I was nominated as the male leading performance in a musical.
38:12 I was nominated for the Ato Musical.
38:16 I was nominated for the Superstar Award.
38:20 To the parents of LGBTQ children,
38:38 we need your understanding first.
38:42 Because even us, we have already questioned ourselves.
38:46 And sometimes, we can't find the answer.
38:50 That's where the importance of loving your family comes in.
38:54 If we're tired looking for answers,
38:57 "Why am I like this?"
38:59 The love of parents is more than enough for us to accept that
39:04 even if the whole world doesn't accept me, I'm accepted by my parents.
39:08 You don't care about the whole world.
39:10 Yes, because they are the important ones.
39:12 Our family, at the end of the day,
39:14 our relationship with each other is what's important.
39:17 And that's what I can say that can give us a happy life
39:21 that we're okay with our family.
39:23 Good luck to you and God bless you.
39:25 Thank you. Thank you for sharing my life.
39:28 I thought it was simple, but there are many things that can relate.
39:33 Thank you very much.
39:36 Of course, you're welcome.
39:38 In our culture, tradition, and religious beliefs,
39:43 parents rarely accept their LGBTQ child as a member.
39:51 They usually go through a lot of defeat and frustration,
39:56 or even a lot of frustration
39:59 before they fully embrace their children's chosen sexual identity and lifestyle.
40:06 Now, our episode has been a great experience.
40:09 And the hashtag #MPK is to open our hearts and minds,
40:14 not only to accept their child as a parent,
40:19 but also for children to accept their parents' imperfections, beliefs, and choices.
40:28 Because as families, we all must love unconditionally.
40:33 Love between family members is unconditional.
40:40 Now, tomorrow, and forever.
