00:00On the other hand, Belle is also lucky because she somehow met and was with her mother before she was imprisoned.
00:11There are children who, after being imprisoned, are immediately separated from their parents.
00:23Peter spent two hours with his mother.
00:30When you were born inside the prison, were you there until you grew up?
00:37No.
00:38Ah, no. What happened?
00:40Two hours. I was just two hours old in the prison and I was taken here.
00:46Because while the POC was ministering, I was seen there and I was taken.
00:53So when you had a face and you learned to speak, you were not with your mother.
00:58There was a case of his mother being pregnant when she went into jail.
01:04And I think his father was also in prison at the same time.
01:09He did have older siblings but they were not in a position to help. There was nobody.
01:16Peter is now 15 years old.
01:20When he grew up, he had almost no memory of his mother.
01:24From the first words he spoke, the first time he learned to walk,
01:29he was accompanied by house parents of a shelter.
01:33Peter was only five years old when he first met his real mother.
01:39When you were five years old, how did you meet her?
01:42Did you visit her?
01:44Yes, I visited her. She approached me and said my name.
01:49I wondered why she knew my name. I didn't know her name.
01:55Then I realized that she was my mother.
02:01I felt joy in my heart when I saw my mother for the first time.
02:11Peter's mother was jailed for 15 years for a drug case that we will hide under the name Esther.
02:19I have no relatives here.
02:21I also don't want my siblings to know about this.
02:25That's why they thought I was dead.
02:27They thought I was dead when I was just born.
02:30She was worried about the future of the baby she was carrying.
02:35She contacted the POCCH to take care of her child while it was still young.
02:43My children are two months old.
02:44I haven't seen them for a while.
02:46I talked to them.
02:48Maybe half an hour.
02:51When I went out, I just held her.
02:55Because the pastor told me that anytime I want to take the baby, I can do it.
03:05Esther thought that she would never see her child again.
03:10Fortunately, she was visited by social workers along with Peter.
03:16They visited me for 2 months, 5 months, 6 months, and 7 months.
03:23They visited me for 2 years.
03:29They will leave me for a while.
03:31Maybe for a few hours.
03:33After that, they will go to the ministry.
03:36Then they will take my child.
03:38That's why they stayed with me for a long time.
03:42I was happy, but when they left, I was very sad.
03:46I didn't know if I would run away or not.
03:52I didn't know what to do.
03:55I wanted to run away.
03:57I really wanted to leave that place.
04:00I wanted us to meet, to be together, and to have a good life.
04:09In 2018, her prayers were heard.
04:14Esther was released.
04:16She brought back the child, but Peter was not allowed to take her.
04:21His life was not settled yet.
04:25I don't know how I will live.
04:27But I know that they will be fine.
04:30When I left, I went straight to Olongapo.
04:33I looked at the situation there.
04:37Everything was fine.
04:39That's why I stayed there for a long time.
04:41I asked myself how I will be able to stand on my own.
04:46Because I was the one who asked for my case.
04:49This year, Esther's Parental Capability Assessment Report was approved.
04:55She can be with Peter anytime.
05:01I am ready.
05:03I will do my best.
05:05I will do everything I can to make him happy.
05:08This is how my life will be.
05:23I don't know what to do.
05:28We talked.
05:30He said he will finish his 10th grade first.
05:33I told him, if you want to study here,
05:38I will help you.
05:40I love you.
06:08I love you.
