00:00The bright and peaceful reunion slowly became a burden for Joy when her partner Jeffrey lost his job.
00:08It is often said that the environment of the house is bad and this is where she receives bad words.
00:16Because of this, Joy decided to leave her husband, even though they are their three children, but eight months have passed.
00:25Joy decided to fight for her rights as a mother of children.
00:28What can X say about her comeback?
00:32Within 14 years, Joy and Jeffrey's reunion became a burden.
00:38Their friendship lasted until their three children were born.
00:43But, in 2020, Jeffrey lost his job.
00:48He doesn't have a job and he is always drinking and getting drunk.
00:53There are times when he hurts me.
00:59He changed his attitude.
01:01It's like we're already in a fight.
01:04This March, this year, we broke up.
01:09Jeffrey started to lie when he was drinking and when he was getting drunk.
01:14Joy was the one who got drunk.
01:18This is when he was really drunk.
01:23I was traumatized by him.
01:25According to Joy, Jeffrey also became painful whenever they fought.
01:30I entered the room with a black eye because he punched me.
01:34Because of his jealousy, there was no truth.
01:38She couldn't hold her partner's hand anymore.
01:42That's why Joy decided to leave their house in March 2024
01:46and left Jeffrey, even though they are their three children.
01:51It will happen again and again.
01:54I'm already traumatized, ma'am.
01:57But within 8 months, Joy decided to leave for the three children.
02:06What do you want to happen?
02:08I want my children to be with me.
02:11I miss them so much.
02:13Joy tried to message Jeffrey to visit her children.
02:19Instead of giving, she threatened and threatened Jeffrey.
02:23There were times when I thought that I will go to them, I will escape.
02:30It's like that, so that I can be with them.
02:33There were death threats that my husband also did.
02:37He chatted, I will kill you.
02:40You don't know me, Joy. I will kill you.
02:43In the hope that his children will be safe.
02:47November 18, 2024.
02:49Together with Recibo, Joy went to the place where she used to be with.
02:55Less than 10 minutes, she saw a familiar face.
02:59Her husband was on the side of the road.
03:02And there was a child with him on his back.
03:05Later, the children faced each other.
03:11And Joy was moved to tears when she saw her husband.
03:15Who are those two?
03:16The one with the red shirt.
03:20Joy went to the Violence Against Women and Children Office.
03:23Or Barangay Vausi of Manila.
03:26To help her talk to her children's father.
03:30I want my children to be with me.
03:34You don't have the right to take your children.
03:36Under the law, if the parents are not married,
03:40the child should be with the biological mother.
03:43Until she reaches the age of 7 years old.
03:46But before she reaches the age of 18 years old,
03:48the child has the right to walk if he wants to join.
03:52However, social workers still need to investigate
03:57to assess if the child should live with his mother or father.
04:02Okay, let's go.
04:03That's why that day,
04:05the barangay called Jeffrey to discuss the family's wishes.
04:12Later, the ex-lover of Joy, Jeffrey, also arrived.
04:16A few moments later, the discussion became heated.
04:20I want to give it to her.
04:21To my wife.
04:23But you can't talk to your children.
04:26I'm not hiding my children from her.
04:28I'm giving it to her.
04:29I said, if you want to give it to her, bring it.
04:31There's nothing wrong with it.
04:33Joy's accusations that Jeffrey is hurting her were loud.
04:37I held his hand, but it wasn't that bad.
04:39I was just nervous.
04:41In the middle of their conversation,
04:43mommy asked daddy for sustento.
04:48The only thing I asked him was for sustento for my children.
04:51I gave it to him.
04:52Even if it's just groceries.
04:53How did he return it?
04:55No.
04:56Even if it's just a runner,
04:58I told him to give it to my children.
05:00I'm feeding my brothers and my mother.
05:02I told him to give sustento to my children.
05:05I have 3 children.
05:06Why are you giving sustento to them?
05:08They're my children.
05:09How can I give sustento to them?
05:12You're the one who told me to give sustento to my children.
05:15I did it because I want you to get a job.
05:17You can work, Joy.
05:19It's okay.
05:21After the confrontation between the former in-laws,
05:23the barangay officers and social workers
05:27of the District Social Welfare Office called the children
05:30to have an initial evaluation and assessment.
05:34After the closed-door assessment of the 3 children,
05:37Joy and Jeffrey were asked to separate
05:41so that the decision would be made soon.
05:44We will do it when the time comes
05:47so that we can have a life of co-parenting
05:49on what will be the plan for the best welfare of the children.
05:53According to the MSWDO,
05:55even if the two sides do not agree
05:57on who will go to their children,
05:59for now, they will bring the children to the shelter.
06:03If there is no agreement,
06:05we will bring the children to the shelter
06:08so that they can go to their parents.
06:10Because of the decisions of the District Social Welfare Office
06:13to the children in Alubin,
06:15they recommended to Jeffrey Muna
06:18that the three of them will live with their children.
06:21We just want to explain to you, mommy,
06:23why we can't give it to you right away.
06:26In the first place,
06:28because of the 3-month abandonment,
06:31the children were left for 8 months
06:34without being explained to them.
06:37For now, ma'am, it's okay for me
06:39that the child is with him first
06:42while he is in the process.
06:44According to Jeffrey,
06:45many people will also help him
06:47to bring his children to life.
06:49After the following assessments
06:52and the consultation of the social workers,
06:55Joy and Jeffrey,
06:57their children arrived.
06:59Joy, hug him.
07:04After more than half a year,
07:12Joy hugged her children again.
07:26According to Joy,
07:27even if she blames the day she left her children,
07:30she will respect the decision of the social workers.
07:34For now, sir,
07:36it's okay for me
07:38that the child is with him first
07:40while he is in the process.
07:43We are here at their job
07:46to personally witness
07:48how the social workers will explain
07:51to the mother of the child
07:53the contents of the evaluation,
07:55how it will be easier for them
07:57to explain to the mother
07:59the contents of their decision.
08:07What is the result of the assessment?
08:09We interviewed one of the children.
08:13What the children really want
08:15is for them to be together this Christmas.
08:19To reunite.
08:20The father is willing.
08:23We will try with the mother
08:26how she will feel.
08:28Our priority is the best welfare
08:30and interest of the children.
08:32November 19, 2024,
08:34the social workers of Manila District Social Welfare Office
08:38or MSWDO
08:40went to Jeffrey's house
08:42to greet the parents.
08:44How are you?
08:46After what happened last night,
08:49how do you feel about the children?
08:52I was surprised.
08:53I didn't sleep last night.
08:55I was thinking about my children.
08:57What will I do to my children if I do that?
09:00The social workers also explained to Jeffrey
09:03the next steps
09:05to improve the condition of their children.
09:08We can now refer to District 4
09:11for the parental capability assessment report of the mother.
09:15So if there will be a co-parenting for them,
09:18it will be better for them
09:20because they want to continue.
09:23As a parent of children,
09:25I hope you will agree.
09:27Joy and Jeffrey promised
09:30that they will try to be good parents
09:32despite their disagreement and separation.
09:36Joy also hopes
09:38that her three children will return to her
09:41at the right time.
09:44The siblings' wish
09:47is for them to be together
09:50in the upcoming Christmas.
09:52Christmas is coming.
09:53What do you want to do?
09:55I want my mom and dad to be together again.
10:13I want my mom and dad to be together again.
