00:00From doing the dishes, to cleaning, to working hard, and now, he's able to build a house!
00:18New year, new house!
00:21Delivery rider and trashman
00:34This is the house of the Frias family in Cabuyaw, Laguna.
00:39The fruit of perseverance and perseverance in life,
00:43of Donnalyn's husband, who is an ultimate trashman,
00:46and of the trashman, Dexter.
00:51Because he only finished high school,
00:54this is Dexter's new job.
00:57The smell of trash is now a part of his daily life.
01:04It's also hard to pick up trash.
01:08It's sticky, dusty, when you don't have gloves.
01:12Sometimes, you get sick when you smell bad.
01:17But what Dexter earns is often not enough to support his family.
01:23They used to live in a barong-barong.
01:27We live here in our garage, in the parking lot of the truck.
01:31There's no electricity, no water. We only buy water from outside.
01:35This is painful for Dexter, especially since they are starting a family.
01:41It's painful for me as a parent,
01:44that I can't give them food.
01:48Life is hard.
01:50I don't have a job. I can't afford it.
01:55Despite this, Donnalyn is still a bright light in her life.
02:02She said, even if it's slow,
02:06as long as the two of us are together, little by little, we will also improve.
02:12Dexter used to work twice as much.
02:15He still continues to work as a trashman.
02:18While for Donnalyn,
02:23it's a racket here, a racket there.
02:27She can even sell rice.
02:30Instead of being able to support him every day,
02:34every salary is not enough, why don't I help him?
02:37And it's not just the husband who can do the challenging job.
02:41As a delivery rider,
02:44Donnalyn also joined.
02:47I thought, since I have a motorcycle,
02:50and I'm not a delivery rider,
02:53why don't I try it?
02:56Because they said, at first,
02:59that the income is good, it's good.
03:02Then I tried it.
03:05In the garbage dump,
03:07and after a lot of booking,
03:10from barang-barang,
03:13they were able to move to a decent house.
03:17We are able to live in a decent house.
03:22We have our own electricity, water,
03:25internet, water,
03:28air conditioner, bed.
03:31It's not as luxurious as others,
03:33but for me,
03:36we worked hard for it.
03:39But the dream of the couple is more than this,
03:42to have their own house.
03:45That's why the focus is on the goal.
03:48Donnalyn and Dexter, welcome to Good News.
03:51Your story is funny, how you fulfilled your dream house.
03:55How did you save for your dream house?
03:58Someone told me,
03:59Do you want to have a house?
04:01How did you save?
04:03What I do is,
04:05What kind of discarding did you do?
04:07Shop, shop.
04:09All the salary,
04:11it's with me, with Paisley.
04:13Did she really give it all to you?
04:15Yes.
04:17For me, it's all on the list.
04:19What I do is, I pay for the house and the rent.
04:22I pay for the house in Laguna, Katapusan.
04:25It's in detail.
04:27And even though they save for the house,
04:30they do not neglect the education of their two children.
04:35In fact, their eldest is an aspiring flight attendant.
04:42Even though they did not finish their studies,
04:45they promise that their children will not experience this.
04:48My children are very lucky.
04:51Because,
04:53they let me study even though life is hard.
04:56They tell me that,
04:58even though we are not around,
05:00we are still able to provide for your needs.
05:03That's why we work.
05:05And even though her father's life is a mess,
05:08she says that she is never ashamed of it to other people.
05:12I am proud of my father.
05:14My father's work is not shameful.
05:16All my friends know that.
05:18I am proud that,
05:20even though I am like that,
05:22I am still lucky because I have it.
05:24And this is what they say,
05:26there is a blessing for them.
05:29That in their dreams,
05:31they did not expect to realize
05:33the existence of their own house.
05:37My tears continue.
05:39Tears of joy.
05:41Even though it is hard to fall every month,
05:44there are so many sacrifices every month.
05:47The Frias family,
05:48all smiles continued by the Good News team in their new home.
05:53We don't have anything yet,
05:55because afternoons are just over for us.
05:59I am happy now.
06:01We now have a place to raise our children.
06:04The real joy is in the smile of the Frias family.
06:09Meanwhile,
06:11a surprise is waiting for the Frias family.
06:14Because of the good news,
06:16there is an early housewarming gift
06:18that can start their journey.
06:22Surprise!
06:27We now have a place to raise our children.
06:31Thank you, Good News!
06:33Thank you, GMA!
06:35Thank you, GMA!
06:37Congratulations!
06:39It's our pleasure to give you happiness.
06:43Okay, what do you want to say to Donnalyn for the last time?
06:47I hope you continue what you are doing for our two children.
06:52And I will support you until the end.
06:55Thank you, Kiss.
06:57Thank you, I love you.
07:00Knox.
07:02Okay, thank you so much.
07:04And I hope your dream house will grow.
07:09Nothing is more delicious when you have your own house.
07:13And on one roof,
07:15you will be with the people you love the most,
07:19your family.
07:24It's a brand new year for inspiration and good vibes.
07:29Happy New Year!
07:31Start the good vibes here in Good News.
07:35My dears, are you ready to be committed to your 2025 healthy lifestyle?
07:412025 healthy lifestyle goal?
07:45There's a lot.
07:47Keep going.
07:48There's a wishing wall,
07:50where the requests of the prisoners will be fulfilled.
08:02For more of our Good News,
08:05let's find out in our experiment.
08:11Hello, 2025!
08:14Have you made a list of all the New Year's resolutions?
08:19One of the most important goals for the new year is to reduce the weight
08:25and make sure to be healthy for the whole year.
08:29Of course, the best day to start is this first month of the year.
08:34But the question is,
08:36can you do it?
08:37That was Andy's goal,
08:40because from 136 kilos in just one year,
08:45he transformed to 97 kilos.
08:49Mapapa, how to be you ka nalang talaga.
08:53His fitness journey,
08:55let's find out together here in Good News.
08:59Let's go!
09:01Let's go!
09:03Let's go!
09:04His fitness journey,
09:06let's find out together here in Good News.
09:10Andy was just a kid,
09:12he said he will see his health.
09:15I was the eldest, so it was a long time.
09:18Until I was 7 years old, I was the only baby.
09:20They gave me everything I wanted to eat.
09:23Until he grew up day by day.
09:26I had to wear a uniform.
09:29Every school year, we had to adjust.
09:31Because I grew up.
09:32If I'm happy, I eat.
09:34If I'm sad, I eat.
09:36Everything I feel, I eat.
09:38Because of this, Andy became the apple of the eye.
09:41I had a classmate, he said,
09:43I don't want to be your friend anymore,
09:45because another friend of ours said,
09:47if I'm fat, I'll go down.
09:49But as time went by,
09:51Andy was just a basher around.
09:53I think I got to love who I am.
09:55He said he was a plus-size man back then.
09:57His love life,
09:59grew bigger.
10:00Because of being single,
10:02Andy became a double.
10:04I was a teacher before.
10:06We were in the same batch in school.
10:08He was an HR.
10:10He didn't really matter to me,
10:12his size.
10:14Actually, I wanted a man with a good body.
10:16Because it's better to hug.
10:18Their love story,
10:20reached the church.
10:24Their wish back then,
10:26to have a big family.
10:28But because of Andy's situation,
10:30the couple,
10:32had a hard time.
10:34We were both frustrated.
10:36It reached a point,
10:38that I realized,
10:40maybe it's just the two of us.
10:42My body is not fit to have children.
10:44The doctor said,
10:46I will just miss Kerry.
10:48That's when Andy found out,
10:50that because of his continuous growth,
10:52his health was also affected.
10:54Type 2 diabetes,
10:56nodular goiter,
10:58plus hiccups.
11:00I was a bit scared.
11:02That's why I said,
11:04I have to do something.
11:06That's why,
11:08in October 2023,
11:10Andy and his wife,
11:12decided to change their lifestyle.
11:17They gradually changed their diet,
11:19and enrolled in the gym.
11:22Aside from Andy's supportive husband,
11:25another person who helped him,
11:28was his fitness coach,
11:30Ferland.
11:32How strict is he?
11:34He's so strict,
11:36that you'll cry.
11:39One day,
11:41one of his first clients,
11:43was Andy.
11:45I had a hard time with Andy.
11:47He sits for a long time.
11:49When it's time to sit,
11:51he has a lot of delaying tactics.
11:53Slightly lean forward,
11:55keep your chest up,
11:56that's right.
11:58Lower your forearms,
12:00keep your elbows high.
12:02That's a lot!
12:04Keep going, don't stop.
12:06Even though Andy is strict,
12:08Coach can see his dedication.
12:10When I'm having a hard time,
12:12when I'm frustrated,
12:14I cry.
12:27So I had to stop
12:29sugary drinks,
12:31junk food, and fast food.
12:42I work with kids,
12:44so I feel like he's my student.
12:46The three of us are like siblings.
12:48Chest up, chin up.
12:50That's a lot!
12:52That's already 13!
12:54You don't know how to count!
12:56Andy always gives me snacks.
12:58He always makes me eat lunch.
13:01Even on Andy's TikTok videos,
13:03Coach is not safe.
13:09That's why his followers
13:11are crazy about their fitness journey.
13:17Fast forward to October 2024.
13:20I am Hulk!
13:22Because of Andy's perseverance
13:24and the people around him,
13:26from 136 kilos,
13:28the good news,
13:30after a year,
13:33Andy lost
13:35almost 40 kilos.
13:39But more than that,
13:41the good news
13:43that he got
13:45is that Andy
13:47is now gay.
13:49I can't believe it.
13:51We had a lot of PT sessions.
13:53I panicked.
13:54It's your first time being positive.
13:56Coach and his friends at the gym
13:58are also very happy with his announcement.
14:01One of the reasons
14:03why I started working out
14:05was to have kids.
14:07We put everything we have
14:09into this journey.
14:11I wasn't afraid that I might die.
14:13I was afraid that Joseph
14:15might have a hard time taking care of me.
14:17I want to grow old with him.
14:19He became my motivation.
14:21Because Andy achieved his goal,
14:23he and his coach
14:25will share with us
14:27the good news.
14:29With us is Tin,
14:31whose goal
14:33is to become gay this 2025.
14:35Coach, are you busy?
14:37No.
14:39I have a favor to ask you.
14:41Tin will also join us.
14:43Hello, Ma'am Tin.
14:45What is your goal?
14:47I want to become gay this 2025.
14:49First, let's do an assessment.
14:53Let's stretch our chest, Ma'am.
14:55Coach has a tutorial
14:57of a home workout
14:59that Tin can do.
15:01First, the feet.
15:03Shoulder width apart.
15:05It means, the wider your shoulders,
15:07the wider your feet.
15:09Next, slightly point your toes outward
15:11for stability.
15:13Then, when you squat,
15:15the first movement is to move your glutes backward.
15:17Inhale.
15:19Up. Exhale.
15:20Inhale.
15:22Exhale.
15:24Good.
15:26Thank you, Coach.
15:28I will do what you taught me
15:30and I learned a lot from you.
15:32Because I really want to be sexy this 2025.
15:34Work hard on your fitness journey, Tin.
15:39My dear friends,
15:41are you ready to be committed
15:43to your 2025 healthy lifestyle goal?
15:46If you were inspired by Andy's story,
15:48here is his advice for you.
15:50It's hard at first.
15:52It's really hard.
15:54It makes me cry and sick.
15:56But it's worth it.
16:03As the new year approaches,
16:05let's break the promises of change.
16:08But what if the change
16:11is for yourself?
16:12What if it's for your family?
16:16But inside your prison,
16:18there's still hope.
16:20There's still hope
16:22for our fellow countrymen
16:24who are in prison.
16:29That's the situation
16:31that we call
16:33Cheche.
16:35Four years in prison
16:37at Naic Municipal Jail.
16:39The reason for his imprisonment
16:40is because he was involved
16:42in illegal drugs.
16:44I was living outside.
16:46My son was always taking care of me.
16:48I was a bit careless.
16:50We were selling drugs.
16:53The pandemic was really hard.
16:55My last friends
16:57became my customers
16:59when I was selling drugs.
17:01I didn't know that he was involved in drugs.
17:03Then I got involved with them.
17:05I got involved with my friends.
17:07I also got involved
17:08with my friends.
17:10The reason for his imprisonment
17:12is the pain of the truth
17:14that he needs to be separated
17:16from his family.
17:18That became the reason
17:20for his four children
17:22to be separated
17:24and left to take care
17:26of his family.
17:28At first, it was really hard
17:30because I was always thinking
17:32about my children.
17:34Then I lost a lot of them.
17:36My two children in Laguna.
17:38I lost a lot of them
17:40because of the weight of my heart.
17:42I have a PWD.
17:44Everything I do,
17:46I always beat him up.
17:48It's really hard
17:50because my son is sick.
17:52I'm the only one looking for him.
17:54As a mother,
17:56I miss them so much.
18:00Cheche's children
18:02who are currently with him
18:04are still small
18:06when he left them.
18:08It's only once a year
18:10that he can see
18:12and be with them.
18:14His children
18:16who are with him
18:18are in the care
18:20of his family
18:22that he rarely visits.
18:24That's why this new year,
18:26we have a new good news.
18:29Here in the Municipal Jail,
18:34there's a wishing wall.
18:38Where the requests
18:40of the prisoners
18:42will be fulfilled.
18:44This is the program
18:46that gives PDL requests
18:48especially their basic requests
18:50to see their families,
18:52to see their children,
18:54to get their basic needs.
18:56This is granted by our personnel
18:58and our visitors.
19:00And to fulfill Cheche's wish
19:02to see his children,
19:05two of them
19:06will be personally visited
19:08and there will be a surprise guest.
19:15I'm sorry, Conso.
19:17I'll see you later.
19:23There's a beautiful girl!
19:27Mommy!
19:29Hey!
19:31Mommy's here!
19:33She's so beautiful!
19:34She looks like a photographer!
19:36Mommy's here!
19:38Hey!
19:42Wow!
19:47Hi!
19:51You're so beautiful!
19:55Do you miss Mommy?
19:57Of course!
20:05Mommy's so beautiful!
20:07Mommy's so beautiful!
20:09Mommy's so beautiful!
20:11Mommy's so beautiful!
20:13Mommy's so beautiful!
20:15Mommy's so beautiful!
20:17Mommy's so beautiful!
20:19Why are you here?
20:21Didn't you tell me?
20:23And to make bonding worth it,
20:25they have a small gift
20:27from Good News.
20:30Lord, thank you so much
20:32for this afternoon.
20:34Thank you also to the people
20:36who made this experiment
20:38so that I can see and be with
20:40my two children.
20:42Let's eat!
20:47Cheche really missed
20:49eating together.
20:51I'm so happy because
20:53I didn't expect
20:55to see them today.
20:57It feels so good
20:59to see them again.
21:01I don't know how to describe
21:02how happy I am.
21:04So, I thank the Lord.
21:06In just a few hours
21:08that she's with her children again,
21:10Cheche's inspiration
21:12will serve to face
21:14the new year.
21:16I hope that Mommy
21:18won't feel lonely
21:20even if Mommy's not by your side.
21:22I hope you always think
21:24that Mommy loves you.
21:26Even if we're not together,
21:28when you're sad,
21:30you'll call Mommy.
21:32Mommy loves you.
21:34Mommy loves you.
21:36I hope you'll get well soon.
21:38I hope you'll be fine.
21:41I hope you'll be fine.
21:43God has mercy on you.
21:45Study hard.
21:48And Cheche promised
21:50that someday
21:52they'll be together again.
21:54It's almost a few days.
21:56Mommy will be out soon.
21:58I'll make it up to you.
22:00I love you too.
22:03A new year,
22:05a new life.
22:07Just like Cheche,
22:09who's starting a new life
22:11for the children
22:13who are waiting.
22:16Bye!
22:20Because it's back to work again,
22:22my dears,
22:24it's also back to commute
22:26for the road workers.
22:28But what if you're driving
22:30inside yourself?
22:32What if there's a war?
22:34In this viral video,
22:36you'll see two women
22:38fighting inside an EGP.
22:41I'm complaining that I'm losing money.
22:43I'm complaining to you.
22:46The reason is
22:48money.
22:50The student
22:52is complaining to the neighbor
22:54who took her money
22:56from her bag.
22:58Look at this.
23:00I'm losing money.
23:02This is what the neighbor did.
23:04You said I have a lot of money.
23:06You want me to pay for it?
23:08That's what you're holding.
23:10You're holding the wrong thing.
23:12I'm complaining
23:14that I'm losing money.
23:16At this point,
23:18a man intervened
23:20to make up for the two.
23:22I'm complaining to you.
23:24I'm complaining to you.
23:26At last,
23:28the fight was settled
23:30and the student got his money back.
23:32Are you ready to stand
23:34for the truth?
23:36In our next experiment,
23:38we'll talk about money
23:40that can also be used
23:42as an excuse
23:44to lose money.
23:49Ma'am, have you seen
23:51a bag full of money?
23:531K?
23:55One of our friends
23:57took it.
23:59It's not here.
24:00We'll also bring
24:02a witness
24:04who witnessed the scene.
24:07It's not here.
24:09Ma'am, is it true?
24:11Did you notice the money?
24:13Can you just
24:15give it back to me?
24:17What can I give you?
24:19I didn't take anything.
24:21Ma'am, I saw something in your bag.
24:23Our Egypt is in danger.
24:25Selena dropped
24:271,000 pesos.
24:29Did you notice the money?
24:31Ma'am, it's not here.
24:34Can you just give it back to me?
24:36I didn't take anything.
24:38Look, she's not sure.
24:40It's not here.
24:42Can you just give it back to me?
24:44I didn't take anything.
24:46I won't give it back to you.
24:48Give it back to me.
24:50Ma'am, it's not here.
24:52Give it back to me.
24:59Ma'am, we're running out of money.
25:02Our first target
25:04was quickly brought to the conductor.
25:07I was a bit nervous
25:10that's why I stood up.
25:12I didn't see anything.
25:14For me,
25:16I'll just ask
25:18if I won't be able to see again.
25:20And we'll look for the money.
25:24Meanwhile,
25:25let's see if Tatay
25:27will be left alone on the stage.
25:30Heidi started to dance.
25:37It looks like the audience
25:40got Tatay's attention.
25:43Later, Tatay
25:45remembered something.
25:46Remember,
25:48don't give money
25:50to the police.
25:52Give it to them first
25:54before selling it.
25:56Even to the police,
25:58give it to them first
26:00before selling it.
26:02There's a point.
26:04Thank you, Tatay.
26:07But in the middle of our experiment,
26:10several scenes were interrupted
26:13and the money was stolen.
26:18It's a new year.
26:20How honest are the Filipinos?
26:23Let's change the scene.
26:25In this experiment,
26:27let's say the money
26:29of our fellow Filipinos
26:31will suddenly fall.
26:33Is there a good intention
26:35to return the money?
26:38Do we still have a plan
26:40for our fellow Filipinos
26:42to return the money?
26:44That's what we'll find out
26:46in our experiment.
26:48We'll test
26:50the honesty of our fellow Filipinos
26:52at the beginning of the year.
26:54Are you ready to return
26:56the money that fell?
27:07You're very good at that,
27:09fellow Filipinos.
27:10Even on the road,
27:12even if I can't see anything,
27:14I'll return it
27:16because the money may fall
27:18more than me.
27:20This woman
27:22didn't hesitate
27:24to return the money that fell.
27:26That's not mine.
27:28Why did you take it?
27:30It's not mine.
27:32It's a big gift from God.
27:34That's my experience.
27:36Of course, it's hard for me
27:38if it's P1,000.
27:40It's hard for me.
27:42Most of the people
27:44in our experiment
27:46showed a strong conscience.
27:48But according to the expert,
27:50it's not always enough
27:52to remain honest.
27:54If they're in a survival mode
27:56where they need money
27:58to provide food,
28:00clothing,
28:02shelter for themselves
28:04or their families,
28:06then their need
28:08for that object
28:10will increase.
28:12Sometimes,
28:14no matter how conscientious
28:16we are of our actions,
28:18there's still a temptation
28:20especially if there's a need.
28:22In this difficult time,
28:24we have a lot of needs
28:26that need to be fulfilled.
28:29But the hope
28:31of a new year
28:33reminds us
28:35to be true to our fellow Filipinos
28:37even if we can't see
28:38what others can see.
28:41We're still in Operation Kabutihan
28:43in our Good News Movement.
