00:00When I visited Santo Papa in the Philippines on January 15, 2015,
00:06I had the rare opportunity to talk to Pope Francis.
00:14I gave a small cross made by correctional grandmothers to Pope Francis.
00:21It was as big as a letter and a picture.
00:24She was praying and asking for help to set Lola Petra free.
00:31Even if only the President of the Philippines has the power to set the Bilangos free,
00:38I hope that with the help of prayer, Lola Petra can use the freedom she is hoping for.
00:54I hope that with the help of prayer, Lola Petra can use the freedom she is hoping for.
01:02Pope Francis and President Noy Noy Aquino met several times.
01:07I hoped that this would be the way to set Lola Petra free through executive clemency.
01:15But until Pope Francis returned to Rome, Malacanang's mouth remained shut.
01:37I felt heavy-hearted when I returned to the Women's Correctional.
01:41My mission was to set Lola Petra free.
01:48But despite this, I was still warmly received by the grandmothers of Dorm 12.
02:11How are you?
02:14Where is my favorite grandmother?
02:16Lola Petra.
02:18Where is Lola Petra?
02:20Lola Petra!
02:22Your granddaughter is here and she's coming back.
02:28Your granddaughter!
02:32Just after Lola Petra's birthday, she is now 92 years old,
02:38I don't know if you're crying or laughing, Lola, my God.
02:47My God!
02:54Lola can't speak.
02:58I have a gift for you.
03:01But before I can give my gift,
03:04Lola Petra suddenly appeared.
03:06Are you giving this to me?
03:09This is my souvenir.
03:11Are you really giving me a gift, Lola?
03:16And for me, what's the price?
03:18Lola told me that she saw me with the Holy Father, but he was not near.
03:24Now, I will give this to you so that you will always remember the Pope.
03:29This is a rosary.
03:31The Pope blessed this for you.
03:34So that when you pray,
03:45we will always pray for you, Lola.
03:48And we will not only pray for you, but also for the Holy Father.
03:53My daughter has been sick for a long time.
03:56She has fever up to December.
03:59In November, I didn't know what to do.
04:04I tried to ask her to stay home,
04:06but she didn't say anything but,
04:08please have mercy on me.
04:12When we pray,
04:14please have mercy on us.
04:16Please have mercy on us.
04:17Please have mercy on us.
04:18Please wait a little.
04:22Don't cry.
04:23Don't cry, Lola.
04:29Okay, Lola.
04:30God bless you.
04:34Okay.
04:36Thank you, too.
04:44Thank you, too.
04:46Thank you, too.
04:58I prayed.
05:00I hope what the Holy Father said is true.
05:04I hope what is written is true.
05:07The Lord hears all that is said.
05:15Thank you so much for tuning in to Eyewitness, Kapuso.
