00:00What was your reaction the first time you realized that Mayor Boy Asistio liked you?
00:11That time, Tito Boy, honestly, I'm not exaggerating.
00:16But at that time, a lot of people were courting him.
00:21I really didn't know who he really was, but I knew he was Mayor Asistio.
00:26But, you know, I was young. I wasn't focused on, you know, I was focused on Richard Gong.
00:31I was focused on, you know, my barcadas, my age.
00:35But I never was, you know, intentionally, like, who is this Mayor?
00:40You were not interested.
00:42Tito Boy, because at that time, suddenly, there were gifts coming to the house.
00:47There were courting flowers. You meet them.
00:52Okay. This is the third time you've said that there are a lot of courting people.
00:55Who are they?
01:01Not only if you want. I mean, only if you can.
01:04We don't want to ruin your relationships.
01:07Yes. But, of course, there are politicians, actors, regular businessmen.
01:14And when you go home, there are gifts.
01:16Yes.
01:17Like that.
01:19How did it happen?
01:21Persistence.
01:23He was persistent.
01:25Very.
01:26How persistent was?
01:28Jewelry.
01:30Charming, you know.
01:32And at that time, Tito Boy, honestly, I knew he only had one companion, and they were no longer together.
01:39Again, again, say that.
01:41At that time,
01:42When he was courting you, what you knew was
01:45they were no longer together.
01:47So, he was no longer with you.
01:49Not knowing after.
01:51There's more.
01:53Yes.
01:54So, that's how it was.
01:56And when you found out that there's more.
01:59I resisted, Tito Boy.
02:00You resisted.
02:01There was no chance that I'm walking out.
02:05Well, there are some moments.
02:07Moments.
02:08You'll catch him.
02:09But, I never gave up on him.
02:11Did you have a conversation with him?
02:13Yes, Tito Boy.
02:14How was that?
02:15I had a conversation with Boy two weeks before he passed, not knowing he was going to pass.
02:20And every January, I do a prayer fast wherein I stay in my room for a few days,
02:28and I apologize to everyone I've wronged for that year, or to start the new year right.
02:36I do that.
02:37And when I did that to him, I texted him.
02:40I said, I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've done to you.
02:43Come down to my room.
02:44Because at that time, he was sick already.
02:46So, when I went down to his room, that's when we started talking.
02:49We had a two and a half hour talk that we never had for 29 years.
02:56And it was one of the most amazing moments that I will thank God for.
03:01Because of the closure, the forgiveness, the laughter of all the things we did to each other.
03:08The laughter of all the things we did to each other.
03:11The times that I caught him before, he didn't confess, he confessed already.
03:15You know, that.
03:16Not knowing he was going to pass.
03:18And I thank God for that day.
03:20What are the things that you remember?
03:22Everything, Tito Boy.
03:23Everything?
03:24Everything.
03:25How many of the everything?
03:26The kids.
03:27The kids.
03:28Okay.
03:29What did you talk about the kids?
03:30I won't let them go.
03:32Not only my kids, his kids.
03:35All of them.
03:36We're a family, Tito Boy.
03:38We may be an odd family, but we are a family.
03:42The kids of Boy, all 21 of them are intact until this day.
03:4721 outside of your 8 kids?
03:50No, with my 8 kids, yes.
03:54What did you say about the kids?
03:56I won't let them go.
03:59No matter what happens in our lives, we will fight together.
04:03And I'm very happy because the kids until this day,
04:07regardless of how many siblings they have,
04:12we're all different mothers,
04:14they still live with the word of their father.
04:17Nads, did he ask for forgiveness?
04:19Yes, Tito Boy.
04:20How did he say it?
04:22Because I was the first to ask for forgiveness.
04:24Because?
04:25Because it was my, that's what I really do every, you know, January.
04:29And it just came naturally.
04:31Because of the prayer fast?
04:32Yes.
04:33But what did you ask for forgiveness during that time?
04:35Everything.
04:36He knows.
04:37No one doesn't know Boy, Tito Boy.
04:40That's why we've been together for 29 years.
04:43That's what I want people to understand.
04:45Maybe the Filipino attitude, Tito Boy,
04:48that we have, the attitude that we don't want to be alone.
04:51This story of my life, Tito Boy,
04:53I feel alone,
04:54the feeling of a Filipino that I was alone with them
04:56by not telling my story.
04:58Tito Boy, it was stolen from me.
05:00My story, you know, I realized this,
05:04I saw this clip from Selma Hayak,
05:06where she said that,
05:08I own my mistakes.
05:11I own my own mistakes, Tito Boy.
05:13I've always owned my mistakes.
05:15But it is my story to tell.
05:17Nobody has the right to tell my story.
05:20I caught that.
05:22I caught that line.
05:24Yes, you were there, Tito Boy.
05:25You were there when it all happened.
05:28And anyone who says that this person is vindicated
05:33for doing what she did to me 17 years ago,
05:35Tito Boy, is sick.
05:37Is sick.
05:39No one can ever be vindicated for ruining somebody's life
05:42just for a news.
05:44Tito Boy, I had seven children at that time,
05:48and I had a husband who was sick.
05:51Did anyone even consider that, what I went through?
05:55To put my family where I am right now,
05:57where we are right now, we are whole.
06:00And I'm living with my head up high,
06:03with dignity, because Tito Boy,
06:06as soon as I started pleasing God and not man,
06:09I found the right road.
06:11I took that road.
06:13We'll go there later.
06:15What made you fall for him?
06:17His heart, Tito Boy.
06:19They can say that he became a womanizer,
06:22or call him all these nasty names
06:25because he courted a child, or what.
06:28You know, this is what's painful with this world.
06:32They didn't know that person.
06:35And until this day, Tito Boy,
06:37for seven years that he's been dead,
06:39every day I wake up, I still think,
06:42what will Tito Boy say to me?
06:44In situations like this, because he would always be fair.
06:48He would always do everything
06:50so that no one would be hurt, no one would be threatened.
06:54And today when you woke up,
06:56you were about to do this interview,
06:58so what do you think Tito Boy would say?
07:00I'm so proud of you, Tart.
07:03He was always proud of you?
07:05Yeah, he was always proud of me.
07:12I don't think there's ever going to be another man like him.
07:16Was there an instance that he got angry?
07:19Was there something he didn't like?
07:21Tito Boy, for 29 years, he never got angry.
07:24He never got mad at me.
07:27He never insulted me.
07:30Maybe he was the one I hurt, but he never, Tito Boy.
07:35He never cursed me.
07:37He never called me names.
07:39How was he as a father?
07:41Oh, he's the greatest.
07:42I always said in all my interviews,
07:44if me and your son were separated,
07:46no one would be with me and my children
07:48other than this girl and this boy.
07:50Okay, how was that?
07:51He was always present?
07:52He was.
07:53He was very verbal with his kids?
07:56Yeah, if he could be there in all the graduations,
07:59he would, he would.
08:01Was he strict?
08:02Was he a disciplinarian?
08:03No, no.
08:04What about the boys?
08:05For example, how did he feel about the girls?
08:08Yeah, it was a long time before he looked me in the eyes.
08:13There was one instance, my daughter had a boyfriend,
08:16it was years before he looked me in the eyes.
08:19Who is this?
08:21I mean, one of the daughters.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Okay.
08:24Yeah.
08:25Is he angry?
08:26Yeah, of course.
08:27He's still a father.
08:28Yeah.
08:29He's still a father.
08:30There was no tension between the kids and Boy?
08:32Never.
08:33Never.
08:34They were always eager to come home,
08:36to run to his bed in his arms.
08:38They were always, you know, they were always eager
08:40for out-of-town trips or just even a simple trip
08:43to drive through.
08:45They never took it against their father that he has a different family?
08:48No.
08:49They never took it against their father that he has a different family?
08:52Because maybe if there's one thing that I really tried from the very beginning
08:58is to get to know each other.
09:00And you raised your girls well.
09:01Thank you, Uncle Boy.
09:02I did my best.
09:03You did?
09:04I raised them.
09:05Boy is just eavesdropping on this conversation, Nadia.
09:08He's just listening to our conversation.
09:10If you have something to say to Mayor Boy,
09:13what would you say to him right now, at this point in your life?
09:19Thank you.
09:21Thank you.
09:22Because I couldn't see myself, Uncle Boy, with anyone else.
09:27And if...
09:30Thank you for accepting me, even if I made mistakes.
09:34Because...
09:37He answered me.
09:38He forgave me many times.
09:41So...
09:43I'm blessed, Uncle Boy, that he became my partner.
09:46Because...
09:48If he's not a good person,
09:50maybe my children and I are not like that.
09:53That...
09:55We have the heart to serve, we have the heart to love, to give, to share.
09:58It's all from Boy.
