00:00How long will you live?
00:10How long will you live, you will regret it
00:14It's not your fault
00:26This family has been destroyed for a long time!
00:28Is this what you learned in being a security personnel?
00:32Did you lose your trust that no one can save you from the law?
00:37Did that happen?
00:38The one who is in the position to kill him?
00:43If there is a tragedy or a crime against your family,
00:48will you repent or forgive?
00:53That is what makes us all emotional
00:56in the true story of a woman who is a certified security professional
01:01who has been through a lot of abuse
01:04and in the end, she lost her loved one.
01:09What were her steps to use the justice that is right for her and her family?
01:17Will she be killed and jailed?
01:23Let's find out in this episode of Pinamagatang Higanti Nang Anak.
01:37Uncle Roman, I want to go home.
01:40Please forgive me.
01:41I want to go home.
01:42Uncle Roman, I want to go home.
01:47You want to escape?
01:49You want to escape?
01:53You want to escape?
02:07You want to escape?
02:10I will kill you.
02:12Do you understand?
02:13You want to escape?
02:21You want to escape?
02:24No, Uncle Roman.
02:26I don't want to go home.
02:28Listen to me.
02:32If you get caught again,
02:36I will kill them.
02:39Do you understand?
02:40Yes.
02:41Do you understand?
02:43I want to go home.
02:44I will kill you.
02:46I don't want to go home.
02:52Uncle Roman.
02:57Stop it.
02:59Maram, my love.
03:01Stop it.
03:04Stop it.
03:05It's been a long time.
03:07Forget about it.
03:13It's been a long time.
03:24About the abuse you received,
03:27about the abuse you received,
03:29how did that affect you?
03:31Aunt Mel, I was in college that time.
03:34I didn't know that it would happen.
03:37I was so scared, Aunt Mel.
03:39I didn't know that it would happen.
03:40Of course, I hadn't experienced it yet.
03:41I was still a virgin at that time.
03:42Yes.
03:43I was still a virgin at that time.
03:44Yes.
03:45What happened, Aunt Mel?
03:46I was so scared.
03:48I felt sorry for myself
03:51because I couldn't say anything.
03:53Although I was warned earlier,
03:56I couldn't say anything
03:58because I might get angry
03:59at my family,
04:00at my aunt's family.
04:02That's it.
04:03You can't fight.
04:04You don't know what to do.
04:06You made the decision
04:09to become a certified security personnel.
04:13What happened?
04:15I graduated from college
04:17and I worked in the government.
04:19After that,
04:20I saw that there was an offer for that course.
04:22Yes.
04:23But you have to finish your bachelor's degree first.
04:25That's a different course.
04:27That course will help you
04:29to become brave
04:31because certified security means
04:33you have to secure lives and property.
04:37Okay.
04:38They will train you how to be brave.
04:40They will help you hold a gun,
04:42defuse a bomb,
04:44and do everything.
04:46So, I studied.
04:48You have gone through encounters
04:51with the rebels, right?
04:53Yes, Aunt Mel.
04:54Where did you work at that time?
04:56In the government.
04:57Oh, in the government.
04:58I worked in City Hall
05:00but I connected with these people.
05:03Uh-huh.
05:04They called me in case
05:07there were going to be rescues.
05:09Okay.
05:10They called me.
05:11We began a project
05:12to find out who is the bravest.
05:14Is it true that
05:16you really joined the rebel places?
05:21Yes.
05:22Areas?
05:23Yes.
05:24Kidnappings and such?
05:25Yes.
05:26Oh.
05:27It became my task.
05:28And your son?
05:29Aunt Mel is a big man.
05:31I pitied him.
05:32I left him.
05:34Get him!
05:36Hey!
05:41Harold!
05:43You're so stubborn!
05:44What?
05:45What's wrong with you?
05:46Stop it!
05:48I told you to stop it!
05:57Are you making the kids tired?
05:59Are you really that rebellious?
06:01What rebellious?
06:02I'm not rebellious.
06:03What do you mean you're not?
06:04You're rebellious!
06:06You're helping them, right?
06:08What now, Harold?
06:09You've seen what your mom can do.
06:12You still don't believe me?
06:15She's rebellious!
06:16Your mom!
06:18Rebellious?
06:19Let's go.
06:27Kid.
06:31Kid.
06:47Come here so you can heal your wound.
06:51Come here.
06:54Come here.
06:55I'm fine.
07:01Harold.
07:03Harold.
07:06Mara.
07:08Let your son be.
07:09Let him be?
07:11He's already learning how to break his head.
07:13What's next?
07:15He'll join the gangs.
07:17Benji, you're always with him.
07:19Watch him.
07:20I know what your son is doing.
07:23What about you?
07:24Do you know how many times he broke his head?
07:27Do you know why he's fighting?
07:28Why he's being bullied?
07:31Is it because of you?
07:33Is it because you support the rebels?
07:35Is it because...
07:37Is it because you're a rebel sympathizer?
07:40I don't support them,
07:42especially when it comes to their wrongdoings.
07:45But I swore an oath of allegiance
07:47with the fulfillment of peace.
07:50How will you give that peace
07:52if it's your own family that's causing it?
07:55If you really care about your son's well-being,
07:57stop fighting.
08:02What world will I leave my son in
08:04if I do that?
08:07If I keep quiet?
08:11His wound will heal.
08:14But if he loses his trust in justice,
08:17he'll never get it back.
08:26When will you understand
08:28that I'm doing this for you?
08:37As time went by,
08:39Harold's love for his mother, Amara,
08:42grew more and more distant.
08:44He was deeply affected
08:46by his parents' frequent defeats
08:49until...
08:52Mom.
08:53Mom.
08:57How long have you been doing this?
09:00I thought you'd be home in a week.
09:07Are you crazy?
09:09Why, Harold?
09:12Why are you doing this?
09:16Why are you ruining your own life?
09:20Do you really have to ask that?
09:23Why do you know why?
09:26Because of you!
09:28Because you don't know
09:30what's happening to me.
09:32You just know your job.
09:37You're blaming me
09:39because I'm working for our family.
09:44I want to give you a good life.
09:50How's that?
09:54Is my life good?
09:58Is my life good?
10:01No, right?
10:05Do you know who gave me a good life?
10:08To the kids,
10:10to the Japanese,
10:11and to all the kids
10:12who were hosted by the rebels
10:14that you saved.
10:16Now,
10:17it's not me.
10:19They understand my job.
10:22They need my help.
10:25They need my help.
10:28It's me.
10:30Mom, it's me.
10:34When are you going to help me?
10:38When are you going to give me attention, Mom?
10:42When are you going to give me attention, Mom?
10:47When are you going to stop those rebels?
10:50I'm your son.
10:52You should choose first
10:55who you're going to help, Mom.
11:02It's enough.
11:03It's enough.
11:05It's enough.
11:07It's enough.
11:11It's enough.
11:21Mom.
11:31It's shameful.
11:33It's shameful.
11:34Where's your husband?
11:36He's the one who should be preaching
11:38and taking care of your son.
11:41He's the one who should be looking for a husband.
11:43He's the one who should be looking for a husband.
11:44It's happening.
11:47Harold is right.
11:51I'm good at taking care of others.
11:56But I can't help my own son.
12:00I can't help him.
12:02I can't take care of him.
12:06It's me.
12:11It's me.
12:18You'll get through this, son.
12:21You didn't give up on other people.
12:24Even your family.
12:27I'm just here for you.
12:33Thank you, Dad.
12:39You're the one who's been taking care of me since I was young.
12:42I love you so much.
12:44I don't know what I'm going to do if you're not in my life.
12:48I don't know, Dad.
12:52I'm just here.
13:05My son, this is for you.
13:08He gave it to you by mistake.
13:35I'm sure you have death threats there.
13:37Yes, a lot.
13:38Left and right.
13:39Left and right?
13:40Yes.
13:41In what form?
13:42In a call, in a foot agent, in everything.
13:47If someone calls you, what will they say to you?
13:50Oh, get away.
13:51I'll kill you.
13:53Because I discovered so many things.
13:55Oh.
13:56Yes.
13:58About the kidnapping.
13:59And who's who is who.
14:02Despite all the dangers you're facing, what is the one thing you discovered about your husband?
14:12Don't worry, Pa.
14:14Even if they put a hundred million in my head,
14:17they will never be able to follow me.
14:21Just be careful, okay?
14:26Of course, Pa.
14:32Your neck.
14:34I'll fix it.
14:35Okay.
14:36Hello.
14:38Amara.
14:41Yes.
14:43Son, are you still there?
14:54Let's go.
15:01Let's go.
15:20I'm trying to fix everything, Benji.
15:24Our problems, Harold.
15:27But I'm not going to be destroyed by this family.
15:29You.
15:32This family has been destroyed for a long time.
15:35You just can't see it because your vision is in your head.
15:41Don't make my job an excuse to cover up your deceit.
15:45You.
15:58What's the matter?
16:04Your father has a woman.
16:11He's deceiving us.
16:15You.
16:26Okay.
16:28Okay, I'll leave.
16:31But I want to choose Harold.
16:38Who do you want to be with?
16:40With me or your mother?
16:42You have no right to choose me.
16:45You have no place in our lives.
16:46You have no choice.
16:47You have no choice, son.
16:48Who do you want to be with?
16:49That's enough!
16:52I won't be with anyone of you.
16:57You know better, Pa.
16:59Let's separate.
17:00Let's separate.
17:14Amara's family has been destroyed for a long time.
17:18Benji separated them.
17:20And the worst thing is,
17:22Harold chose to live with his grandparents.
17:26That's why Amara persisted in fixing Harold's relationship
17:32until he came to a decision.
17:38What?
17:39Are you going to stop being a certified security professional?
17:45This is the last time for our family.
17:49I want to save my relationship with my son.
17:51Harold will fix his relationship with you.
17:54You know,
17:56while your mother lives here with us,
18:00we always remind her
18:03how much you love her.
18:06Yes, son.
18:12Thank you, Pa.
18:22Hello, my beautiful sister!
18:25Ramon!
18:26I forgot to tell you that Ramon is coming!
18:32How are you?
18:33I'm good!
18:34How are you?
18:35I'm sorry.
18:36I forgot to tell you that he's coming.
18:42Your uncle Ramon,
18:44aunt Lucia's husband,
18:46is going to be here soon.
18:48Your uncle Ramon,
18:50aunt Lucia's husband,
18:52is going to be here soon.
18:53He's from America.
18:54He's already retired.
18:55He's already here in the Philippines.
18:56Say hello to him!
19:13Uncle Ramon!
19:16How are you?
19:18You've grown into such a beautiful lady!
19:49Amara,
19:56I'm sorry.
20:02I heard what happened to you and your husband.
20:10If you need anything,
20:12anything,
20:15just tell me.
20:18Okay?
20:39I'm here for you, Amara.
20:42And it's up to me.
20:43But,
20:48stay away from me.
20:51I don't need help from a demon like you.
20:59Wait a minute.
21:02That's been a long time.
21:05Move on!
21:06And besides,
21:08no one knows, right?
21:10I put up with everything you did to protect me.
21:16You're a demon.
21:19Every day, you bring the smell of your demon.
21:26Wait.
21:27If you can,
21:32I'll fight you.
21:36Wait, wait.
21:39Is this what you learned from being a security personnel?
21:44To be a violent?
21:47Amara,
21:49come on.
21:52It hurts.
21:55You will never be able to scare me again.
21:58You will never be able to bother me again.
22:02So if you want to live,
22:04don't show yourself to me again.
22:10Amara,
22:13he molested you.
22:15No, he didn't.
22:16Are you an animal?
22:17I trusted you with my son.
22:19And then,
22:25he hit me!
22:26He hit me!
22:29Daniel!
22:30Why are you hurting my brother?
22:32What happened to him?
22:34He molested me again and again.
22:40Sister.
22:42You're a monster!
22:44You're a monster!
22:45You're a monster!
22:46Get out of here!
22:48Sister.
22:49He's gone.
22:50Get out of here!
22:51I don't want to see you anymore!
22:53You're a monster!
22:55You're a demon!
23:10You're a monster!
23:20Because of what happened,
23:22Amara's molester
23:24was completely destroyed.
23:29His parents didn't let him go,
23:32especially his beloved father,
23:35so that he can continue to drink
23:37his wound from the past
23:40until...
23:43It's good that you allowed Harold to undergo rehab.
23:49It's nothing.
23:51Let's just pray that his recovery will continue.
23:59If you weren't there that night when I confronted him,
24:02I might have killed Ramon.
24:07But,
24:08you know that the answer is not easy.
24:12The real victory
24:15is when you show that
24:17despite what they did,
24:20they will never destroy humanity.
24:24That you can fight justice with courage.
24:29And they will never jump with the evil
24:33of the goodness of your heart.
24:41Take care.
24:45You too.
24:48I know that you receive a lot of death threats.
24:54I know who they are.
24:57And,
24:59they just want to know
25:02that I have evidence of their corruption.
25:06But,
25:08don't worry.
25:10They won't be afraid of me.
25:13Do you know them?
25:21Alright, go home.
25:24Take care.
25:26Alright,
25:27I'll call you when I get home.
25:30My child,
25:34I love you.
25:40I love you so much.
25:46Take care.
25:49Alright.
25:56Ben,
25:57since I was a child,
25:58you were the one who taught me how to love.
26:02I don't know what I would do if I lost you in my life.
26:06I'm sorry.
26:10I'm just here.
26:26Stop!
26:56So, I was really outspoken.
26:58I was angry with them.
27:00I have to tell them,
27:01don't do that.
27:02The other person is trying too hard.
27:04So, they should be punished.
27:06So, my dad was with me.
27:07My dad told them,
27:09let's be okay.
27:11My dad was talking about
27:14what they were doing,
27:15the abuse.
27:17And, I was the bravest,
27:19Aunt Mel.
27:20You were so brave.
27:21That's why they couldn't kill me.
27:23So, they killed my father.
27:26Oh, my God.
27:27Because they were angry with me.
27:42Good evening, Vice Mayor.
27:43Good evening.
27:45Good evening, Vice Mayor.
27:46Be careful, Ben.
27:56We're just friends, Roson.
28:03My condolences.
28:09We're just friends.
28:15Don't worry, Mrs.
28:17I'm not going to kill you.
28:20I'm not going to kill you.
28:21I'm not going to kill you.
28:23I'm not going to kill you.
28:24I'm not going to kill you.
28:25No need for that, Mrs.
28:27We will help you
28:29to get justice for your husband.
28:35What would have happened
28:37if he was in a position to kill himself?
28:39Mara?
28:43Why Mara?
28:46Have you lost the trust
28:49that nothing can be saved by the law?
28:55We'll find out who did this.
29:00That's a bad law.
29:03Don't let people like him get away with it.
29:07Amara, this is not the right time.
29:15Amal, listen to me.
29:21Don't let the two of them get away with this.
29:25But really,
29:28selling without a basis doesn't help.
29:33Sometimes, it's even bad.
29:37You're just a liar,
29:40son.
29:44Not everyone is a liar, baby.
29:48Son, stop it.
29:52Stop it.
29:55How did you get your justice for the death of your father?
30:01It's impossible to get that.
30:04Because it's a wall.
30:06You're building a wall.
30:08It's hard to get justice.
30:10They took me to the province where I was born.
30:13They brought me to a safe place.
30:16They hid me there for a while to stop me.
30:19Because I was already connected to the other side.
30:22It was too strong.
30:23When I said,
30:25please remove this.
30:27Please bomb this.
30:29What can they do?
30:31Because they already knew that I was their friend on the other side.
30:35Yes.
30:37It was like a mistake.
30:39I had Stockholm Syndrome.
30:41What?
30:43Stockholm Syndrome.
30:45I get to fall in love with the enemy instead of not.
30:48Yes.
30:50Because I saw injustice.
30:51Because I saw injustice.
30:54Amara moved from one place to another for several months
30:58to hide from those who wanted to kill her,
31:02especially from those who held evidence
31:06that would lead to corruption in their government
31:11until she fulfilled her revenge.
31:51Amara!
32:00Amara!
32:13Amara!
32:21Amara!
32:37What are you doing?
32:51Amara!
32:52Amara!
32:53Amara!
32:54Amara!
33:19Did you ever think of taking revenge?
33:24Yes, Aunt Mel.
33:26Did you ever think of taking revenge?
33:28When I got a job,
33:30I spent all my salary on buying guns.
33:34I only left a few because I told them I would be back.
33:39Oh, Mom!
33:41What is it?
33:43I couldn't find your mom at home,
33:45so give this to her.
33:47You're from the government.
33:49Okay.
33:51Give this to your dad.
33:53Tell him to come back when he finds it.
33:55You're from the government.
33:57Okay.
33:59Hey, what are you doing?
34:01Give this to your dad.
34:03Give this to your dad.
34:05Give this to your dad.
34:07Hey, guys.
34:09I think they'll just drop by here.
34:11Three only.
34:13By the way,
34:15what about the Student Union Support Program?
34:17Who's that?
34:23Oh, Mom!
34:25What is it?
34:27I couldn't find your mom at home,
34:29so give this to her.
34:31You're from the government.
34:33Give this to your dad.
34:34If you're lucky, you'll get a gift from the government.
34:38Hey, have you seen it?
34:39I think this is the only one left.
34:41You can exchange it.
34:44Oh, by the way, their support program is in the Municipality.
34:48Don't worry.
34:49We'll send it to you.
34:51You know, not exchanging is not the answer.
34:55The real success
34:58is when you show that
35:00despite what they did,
35:03they won't destroy the people
35:06that you can fight for justice
35:10and they won't jump with you
35:13for the good of your heart.
36:02I changed.
36:04You changed?
36:05I changed.
36:06In what sense?
36:07I thought that I was punishing myself
36:10because of my anger towards them.
36:12So, the pain is still there.
36:14I said, how can I let go of this?
36:17Perhaps, I would
36:19low down my pride
36:21and be humble
36:23and accept and forgive.
36:26What lesson can our viewers learn
36:29in your life
36:30that they can apply?
36:32It's not like your job.
36:36It's okay.
36:38It's okay to have pain like this.
36:41But you have to remember this.
36:44Because pain also heals.
36:47Forgive.
36:48Stop punishing yourself with anger.
36:51Be careful.
36:53Be careful.
36:54Be careful in your profession.
36:57And God bless you, Amara.
36:59Thank you so much.
37:00And your family.
37:03Usually, when someone commits a crime
37:05against your family,
37:08others would say,
37:09forgive them.
37:11Or just forget about it.
37:14How can you move on
37:17when you know that the suspect is still free
37:20and he didn't let go of the crime he committed?
37:24Is that all?
37:26Just leave it to God?
37:29On the other hand,
37:31is it right for a mistake
37:34and a sin
37:36to be replaced
37:38by another sin?
37:43This is a thought
37:45that is hard to answer.
37:47And there can be many results
37:49or what we call consequences.
37:53Because we have a law that follows
37:55the law of man
37:57and the law of God.
38:00We should always pray
38:02that nothing bad
38:04will happen to our family.
38:06And we should also pray
38:08that those who are looking for justice
38:11should also be punished.
38:14Now, tomorrow,
38:17and forever.
