00:00Every person has the right and freedom to help themselves and take care of their family.
00:07But what if some were forced to do this?
00:11This is the situation of the children of PDL, or Persons Deprived of Liberty.
00:17This is the story of Kara David in the new episode of the Digital Documentary Program of GMA Public Affairs,
00:24Karadox. Let's watch it.
00:31I was about to be born in prison.
00:36In 1973, because of the violation of the military law, my mother was arrested by a teacher at the university.
00:43But because it was her birthday, she was released on bail for her crime.
00:50This is the reason why my name is Kara Patria or Bayang Minamahal.
00:58But not all mothers are the same.
01:05The documentary Selda Inocente is one of the first documentaries that I wrote
01:11about mothers who gave birth to babies in prison,
01:18about babies whose first home was in jail.
01:27It's heavy!
01:28Danica, a child, learned to crawl and speak inside the cell.
01:33Both of her parents were in jail.
01:38I made that documentary in 2002.
01:42Twenty years have passed.
01:44Has anything changed in our cells?
01:48Yes.
01:57Like Danica, Bell's mother was also in jail.
02:00She didn't have a real name.
02:02But unlike Danica, who grew up in prison,
02:05Bell was separated from her parents.
02:08How many years have you been here in the POC?
02:11Five.
02:12Five years.
02:13Do you still remember the day you were brought here?
02:19After my birthday, I was brought here.
02:23It was painful because...
02:36I was scared when my mother disappeared.
02:39Why?
02:40I don't know.
02:41When I was young, my mother and brother took care of me.
02:51But did you want to live here?
02:54You didn't want to because...
02:56We couldn't be with my mother.
02:59We only saw her sometimes.
03:01At first, I really didn't want to be here.
03:06The POCCH, or Philippine Outreach Center Children's Home,
03:11is an accredited NGO by the DSWD.
03:14They take care of children who have been abandoned
03:17or who have been separated from their parents.
03:21Bell has been in this shelter for six years.
03:26She has been six years away from her mother in prison in Piitan.
03:31Bell's life in the shelter is good.
03:34She has a free place to live, food, clothes, and education.
03:40But she is fully equipped with all the needs
03:43that a mother's embrace cannot replace.
03:48What is your wish? What do you want to happen?
03:52I hope I can see her again someday.
03:59Before we separated, Bell brought us a letter
04:03in the hope that it will reach her mother.
04:07This led to a paradox in the women's correctional.
04:19Today, not only will she be able to write her personal letter to her mother,
04:25but also the tight embrace that she has been praying for.
04:33This is the paradox, the story of each number.
