00:06Ah!
00:07Ah!
00:08âȘ
00:13Don't go, I assure you.
00:15You're rude.
00:16You're hurting me.
00:17I'm hurting you?
00:18Yes.
00:19I'm hurting you, Jersey.
00:21âȘ
00:22Get out!
00:23Why don't you listen to me?
00:24Get out!
00:25Get out!
00:26I'll explain everything.
00:27Get out, we don't need you.
00:28Mina!
00:29Mina, open the door!
00:30Mina!
00:31Mina!
00:33He was only 17 years old when he first experienced
00:39a man's desire to be his wife.
00:45But he clung to the heavy hand of a man who completely
00:51crushed his humanity.
00:54My dear, let's listen to the story of the battered wife,
01:00Mina Idao.
01:02Sania?
01:04Sania?
01:11Sania?
01:16Sania?
01:18I'm here.
01:21Sania?
01:25Sania's not here.
01:27Michael, your sister and I need to talk.
01:32Please tell her to call me.
01:36I'll go ahead.
01:39Wait a minute.
01:42I just asked her to come.
01:43She'll be back soon.
01:45Is that so?
01:48Sit down.
01:51Go ahead.
01:54Go ahead.
02:12You know, Sania is kind.
02:17You're lucky to have her.
02:25You know, you're luckier if I'm your answer.
02:30Okay, I'll go ahead.
02:31Wait a minute.
02:33Go ahead.
02:37Okay.
02:38Michael, what are you doing?
02:40Mina, listen.
02:42Mina, I love you so much.
02:44I love you so much.
02:45What are you doing to me?
02:46I love you so much.
02:47Listen.
02:48You're hurting me.
02:49You're hurting me.
02:50You're hurting me.
02:51You're hurting me.
02:52You're hurting me.
02:54Michael.
02:56I love you so much.
02:57You're hurting me.
02:58Michael.
02:59What are you doing?
03:00Let me go.
03:02Let me go.
03:03Michael.
03:05What are you doing?
03:07Let me go.
03:08Let me go.
03:09Let me go.
03:10Let me go.
03:11Let me go.
03:12Let me go.
03:14Because of the fire,
03:15Mina hid what happened to her from Michael.
03:19But a few weeks passed.
03:23Hey.
03:24Mina.
03:25Wake up.
03:27Don't you have plans to go to school?
03:29You'll be in trouble if you don't go.
03:30You'll get sick.
03:33Stop being lazy.
03:34Wake up.
03:36I'm going to school.
03:37Wait a minute.
03:39What do you mean, wait a minute?
03:40It's already 8 o'clock.
03:42Your class starts at 7 o'clock.
03:45Wake up.
03:46I told you to wake up.
03:48Mom.
03:49Stop being lazy.
03:53Sunny went here.
03:55She's looking for you.
03:56She said you're avoiding her.
03:58Why?
03:59Do you two have a problem?
04:02Why?
04:03What's happening to you?
04:08What's happening to you?
04:14Mina, are you pregnant?
04:17Mina, face me.
04:19Tell me the truth.
04:21Are you pregnant?
04:25Does Sunny know about this?
04:29It's not Sunny, sister.
04:31It's not Sunny?
04:32What do you mean?
04:34If it's not Sunny,
04:35who's the father that you're taking?
04:39Sunny, stop it.
04:40I told you to stop it.
04:41All of what you're doing to me is not enough.
04:43I didn't do it on purpose.
04:45I don't have you, Michael.
04:47I know how much you love that woman.
04:49But I didn't think
04:50that even the woman that I love,
04:51you'll need her.
04:53Sunny,
04:55forgive me.
04:57I didn't want this to happen.
04:58No.
05:00You made a fool of me.
05:02You made me believe that you love me.
05:03But what?
05:05Sunny, I love you.
05:07I love you so much.
05:09I love you.
05:10I love you.
05:11I love you so much.
05:12I love you so much.
05:14I hope you won't regret what you did to me.
05:25Because of his shyness,
05:27Mina was forced to be with Michael.
05:30As time went by,
05:32he learned to love her.
05:34They had two children
05:36when Michael went abroad.
05:42He didn't even write to her.
05:47He didn't even let her know
05:49that he had plans
05:51to come back to the Philippines.
05:55What are you planning to do now?
06:00I'm afraid for my children.
06:04I'm afraid
06:06that I'll lose them.
06:08I'm afraid
06:09that I...
06:12I don't know if I can
06:14take care of them alone.
06:18You can do it.
06:20You can do it.
06:24I'm here.
06:27I won't let you down.
06:31Mina raised her children alone
06:34without any help from Michael.
06:37Until...
06:39Look at this.
06:40It's beautiful.
06:43This is too much.
06:45You guys
06:46have fooled your Aunt Marcy again.
06:49Aunt Marcy didn't give this to us.
06:57Mina.
07:07Mina, I missed you.
07:10I'm sorry.
07:18You're so thick-skinned.
07:22After four years,
07:25you'll come back here
07:26as if you don't exist.
07:30Mina, I'm sorry.
07:35Sorry.
07:39After four years,
07:42I'm sorry.
07:46Mina, I know I was wrong.
07:50I feel sorry for you.
07:51Forgive me.
07:55I know that
07:56I've done you wrong.
08:00That's why I came back here.
08:05Mina, I want our family to be together again.
08:10I want us to start again.
08:15Mama, don't be mad at Papa.
08:18He's back.
08:20We'll be happy again.
08:25Mina, please.
08:30Give me a chance.
08:36I don't care about the kids anymore.
08:39Give me a chance.
09:03You know what?
09:05I really miss you.
09:07There are beautiful women abroad,
09:09but you're still the best.
09:12Really?
09:13Yes, that's why I came back here.
09:18Liar.
09:20You're still the same.
09:22You're still a liar.
09:26Mina.
09:28After four years,
09:30you went back to the Philippines twice.
09:33We didn't see your kids.
09:36Mina, let me explain.
09:37Get out of here.
09:39Get out of here.
09:41You didn't take care of my kids.
09:43You're a liar.
09:44Mina.
09:45Get out of here.
09:46Let me explain.
09:47Stop me.
09:49Stop my kids.
09:50Get out of here.
09:51Listen to me.
09:52Get out of here.
09:54I'll explain.
09:55Get out of here.
09:56We don't need you.
09:57Stop us.
09:58Open this.
10:00I'll explain.
10:01Mina.
10:02Get out of here.
10:04Stop us.
10:32After breaking up with Michael,
10:34Mina forced her kids to live with her.
10:37But despite this,
10:39she was more eager to destroy her family.
10:45Looks like you're getting more and more drunk.
10:51Mina, your problem won't be solved
10:53even if you drink a few bottles of alcohol.
10:56And it won't be solved
10:57if you don't talk about it.
10:59And it won't be solved
11:00if you don't face it.
11:05Are you done?
11:08You can rest now.
11:13Mina.
11:17I know what you're going through is hard.
11:21But that's not enough reason
11:22to destroy your life.
11:26Remember, Mina.
11:27You have kids.
11:30What's your problem?
11:34Why do you want to destroy my life?
11:39Look at yourself.
11:40You're not mature.
11:42Look at yourself.
11:46You're getting old alone.
11:48You have no one.
11:51I'm not the problem here, Mina.
11:53It's you.
11:59Me?
12:01What's my problem?
12:05I have kids.
12:06Don't I?
12:09I don't have a husband.
12:13You're the problem here.
12:16Because
12:18that's why you're worried.
12:20Because until now,
12:23no man has ever liked you.
12:26Right?
12:28It's because of you.
12:30Look at yourself.
12:32Huh?
12:34How can a man like that like you?
12:38Besides,
12:42I'm just curious.
12:46Are you still a virgin?
12:50You have no right to talk to me like that.
12:58Mina.
13:00I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
13:02I'm sorry.
13:07I'm sorry.
13:11I'm sorry.
13:20I'm sorry.
13:27I'm sorry.
13:30I'm sorry.
13:34Mina worked in Hong Kong as a domestic helper.
13:38She returned to the Philippines in 1995.
13:43I think this is enough for me to start a small business.
13:49Do you mean you won't go abroad again?
13:52No.
13:53I'll stay here.
13:54I'll take care of the two of you.
13:57I'll make it up to you.
13:59So, we'll be together again.
14:02And it's possible that Papa will come back.
14:07Why is he with us?
14:11Nothing.
14:12I just thought of the possibility that we'll be together again.
14:16We'll be happy.
14:17And we'll be a family.
14:18I think he's a man.
14:21Is that so?
14:22Why not?
14:25To be honest, I don't think he's a man.
14:28I'm used to him not having a body.
14:31I think it's better to be single.
14:33You don't understand anything.
14:34Right, Ate?
14:36Actually, Ma'am,
14:38it's okay for me that you won't return to Papa.
14:42But,
14:43you have to promise us that you won't court anyone else.
14:49Oh, my.
14:51After what happened to us, I learned that I don't need those in-love anymore.
14:57Of course, what's important to me are my two children.
15:00You two are the ones I love the most in my life.
15:03Of course, you're with Ate Don, right?
15:06You're the ones I'll take care of, my children.
15:08You're the ones I'll take care of, my children.
15:10There's no one else.
15:11Really.
15:12Promise.
15:13I promise.
15:15I love you, Ate.
15:16I love you.
15:26Can I buy a cigarette?
15:34What's this?
15:35Money.
15:36One thousand.
15:37I know.
15:38What I mean is, do you have a cigarette?
15:41I don't have one.
15:43Are you going to buy one or are you just asking for a cigarette?
15:47I'm going to buy one.
15:49And I also want to know the name of the owner of this store.
15:55It's me, Jersey.
15:57Okay, here.
15:58This is mine.
15:59Go to another store and talk.
16:01Okay, here.
16:02This is mine.
16:03Go to another store and talk.
16:05Go on.
16:06She's so nosy.
16:07What did you say?
16:09Nothing.
16:10I said, you're beautiful when you're flirting.
16:13Okay, I'll just buy from the other store.
16:16What time do you close?
16:17None of your business.
16:19Okay.
16:23Jerk.
16:32Wait.
16:33Huh?
16:34Are you following me?
16:35Why are you following me?
16:36No, just relax.
16:38I just want to make sure that you're okay because the road is a bit dark.
16:42What dark?
16:43I'm used to it.
16:44I don't need a bodyguard.
16:46You know, that's the truth.
16:48I just want to know where you live.
16:50Because when I go to court, I want it to be formal.
16:53Stop me.
16:55I don't have time for your nonsense.
16:57Wait.
16:58Wait.
16:59Wait.
17:00Wait.
17:01No.
17:02I'm serious.
17:05I love you.
17:09And I know that you have a child.
17:11I also know that you broke up with your ex-wife.
17:12Wait.
17:13How did you know that?
17:15That's not important anymore.
17:18What's important is that I love you.
17:20And I don't care what other people say about me.
17:25Really?
17:26Yes.
17:27Or are you telling me now?
17:28Yes.
17:29Let's go.
17:30You're just wasting your time.
17:32Huh?
17:33Even though Mina is trying to avoid Jersey,
17:36he still fell for her.
17:41Oh.
17:44Oh.
17:45I thought you're sick.
17:46And no one will file a case against you.
17:47That's why I'm here.
17:50Are you okay?
17:52No.
17:53I'm fine.
17:54Let's go inside.
17:56I have something to show you.
17:58Let's go.
18:08It's beautiful.
18:12What occasion is this?
18:13Nothing.
18:14I just want to make this day special.
18:16Here.
18:27I love you.
18:32I love you too, Jersey.
18:46Mina fell in love with the person named Jersey.
18:50As time went by,
18:52their friendship grew stronger
18:54until a decision was made
18:57that was a test
18:58for Mina's integrity
19:00and for the good relationship of their family.
19:04I'm sorry, but
19:06we can't go back to your father.
19:09Sometimes, he hurt us and fooled us.
19:12But I can't accept that Jersey.
19:15I don't want him for you.
19:17My child,
19:19I hope you understand.
19:22Besides, he won't stay with us.
19:25What?
19:26He won't stay in another house?
19:27You'll leave us again?
19:30No, my child.
19:32You're like that.
19:34You're used to being left behind.
19:38How long will you leave us?
19:41You promised me
19:42that you won't look for a man.
19:45But what is this?
19:47That's enough.
19:49Stop it, Mom.
19:51I hope you understand how I feel.
19:55I understand you, Mom.
19:58But will you understand us?
20:01We just want to have a happy family.
20:06Mom, no.
20:08My brother and I are his men.
20:12Mom,
20:15you can't answer that.
20:19What does that mean?
20:20Forget about me as your daughter.
20:23Lin, Lin.
20:28Because of the teachings of her children,
20:31Mina was forced to join Jersey.
20:34They lived as a married couple
20:36far away from her children.
20:40Why?
20:41Jersey, what's wrong with you?
20:43You're too scared.
20:44You're too nervous.
20:46Who's not nervous about you?
20:49Wait a minute.
20:51Why did you choose to live here?
20:53Why?
20:55It's scary here.
20:56The place is scary.
20:58We have neighbors who are a kilometer away from us.
21:02What's the problem with that?
21:04No one can disturb us here.
21:06Even if we scream here, it's okay.
21:09Even if we run around here naked,
21:10it's okay.
21:12Wait.
21:13Are you drunk?
21:14Why would we run around naked?
21:17Isn't that exciting?
21:19Stop.
21:20Wait, wait, wait.
21:22Isn't there anyone here?
21:23Come here.
21:25What are you doing?
21:27You should also run around naked.
21:28Why would I run around naked?
21:29No one can see us.
21:30Stop.
21:31Come here.
21:32No, I won't.
21:33Come here.
21:35What do you think, Karding?
21:3640-60?
21:38No, 50-50.
21:40No, that's what we're talking about first.
21:4240-60.
21:43Let's go.
21:44Okay.
21:45There.
21:46I'll go first.
21:51I'll go first.
21:52Okay.
21:53Thank you, Karding.
21:55Okay.
22:04Oh, Jersey, you're awake.
22:06Your food is ready.
22:08Huh?
22:09I already cooked breakfast.
22:11Oh, Jersey.
22:13You have a relationship with that guy, right?
22:16Karding?
22:17What are you?
22:18He's your friend.
22:19He's the one who sells pork, right?
22:21What does that have to do with me?
22:22Nothing.
22:26Don't fool me.
22:27If not, I'll bury the two of you in the ground.
22:30Remember that.
22:34Okay.
22:40Hurry up.
22:45I'm drunk.
22:48Jersey,
22:51that's enough.
22:52I think you're drunk.
23:00Jersey,
23:01aren't you ashamed of your friend?
23:05What do they know?
23:07Why would I be ashamed?
23:09Dude, that's enough.
23:10Hey, don't act like you don't know.
23:12Why?
23:13Are you ashamed of your boyfriend?
23:15Or is it true that you have a relationship?
23:16Jersey, who are you trying to fool?
23:20Let me be your boyfriend.
23:22Do you want me to beat you up in front of your face?
23:25Don't fool me.
23:26You're so rude.
23:28I'll get hurt.
23:29You'll get hurt?
23:31I'll get hurt, Jersey.
23:33I don't care about them.
23:35Remember that.
23:37Why are you ashamed of us?
23:41No.
23:43I'll get hurt, Jersey.
23:47You won't be able to handle this if I'm your boyfriend.
23:49Remember that.
23:55Come on, let's drink again.
23:57Mina is now in charge
23:59of Jersey's huge sales.
24:02She's new to this business.
24:04Until one night,
24:06Mina will find out
24:08the true nature of her partner.
24:11You're right.
24:26Where are you going?
24:28Let me go.
24:31I don't care.
24:32Just don't come here.
24:37You're not going anywhere.
24:38I'll be the one to love you.
24:47Mina,
24:49I love you so much.
24:51Don't leave me.
24:54Please.
24:55I can't be with you anymore.
24:57Do you know why, Jersey?
25:00Because you're crazy.
25:02I'm crazy.
25:03You're crazy.
25:05I'm crazy.
25:22Even if you're cruel,
25:24even if you pity me,
25:26you can't stop me.
25:33I love you.
25:43Jersey,
25:45Jersey, don't do this.
25:48Jersey, don't do this.
25:49I don't love you.
25:50Don't do this.
25:57Mina!
26:01I'm wet.
26:04Don't leave me.
26:06I can't be without you.
26:08No, Jersey.
26:09Let me go.
26:10I'll talk to you.
26:12Let me go.
26:13Mina,
26:14I love you so much.
26:16I love you so much.
26:18I'll change.

26:26Jersey, listen to me.
26:28Let me go.
26:29Let me go.
26:31Let me go.
26:34I'll change.
26:37I'll change.
26:44Jersey, stop it.
26:47Jersey, stop it.
26:48Let me go.
26:50Stop it.

27:00I hate you.

28:00Mina.
28:02Mina.
28:05What happened?
28:14My wife,
28:16Mina, is dead.
28:18I killed her.
28:21She's at home.
28:32Mina.
28:33Mina.
28:34Mina.
28:35Mina.
28:54This is Allen Mina.
28:57He's dead, I guess.
28:58Let's help him.
29:00Wait,
29:01I'm going to call my dad.
29:05Jersey, I have two.
29:09I hate you!
29:11I hate you!
29:13I hate my mother!
29:15I hate you!
29:17Wait! I didn't do anything to her!
29:19I hate your mother!
29:21I hate my mother!
29:23What are you going to do to her?
29:25I hate her!
29:27I hate her!
29:29I hate her!
29:31I hate her!
29:51Mina?
29:53Do you want something?
29:55Are you hungry?
29:59Forgive me for all the mess I brought to our family.
30:10I didn't do anything wrong.
30:12I just got happy.
30:17I didn't mean to.
30:21I hurt you.
30:23I know.
30:26You know what?
30:28Even though you have decisions that I don't agree with,
30:32I don't know what to do.
30:34I don't know what to do but I support you.
30:40Because you're my sister.
30:44Because...
30:46Because I love you.
30:48I love you so much.
30:50I love you so much.
30:55I love you so much.
31:01Get ready.
31:03Where are the kids?
31:07Your kids are here.
31:13Forgive me.
31:17I know.
31:21I know how much you love your father.
31:27I know...
31:29that I disappointed you...
31:32when I went against God.
31:37I hope that...
31:39He will give me another chance.
31:45Mom...
31:47Forgive me.
31:50Forgive me.
32:01So many things happened to me...
32:06because of your father.
32:12I promise...
32:18our family will never be separated again.
32:24We will be happy.
32:29Don't worry.
32:39Dad...
32:47Dad...
32:58How are you?
33:01I'm fine.
33:04I'm safe.
33:06I'm not dead yet.
33:10I'm sorry.
33:13I know that...
33:15I'm not good enough for you...
33:19and for the kids.
33:22I forgave you a long time ago.
33:27Let's forgive ourselves...
33:31for the things that...
33:34we didn't do to be saved.
33:38But we can start again, right?
33:45We can start a new family.
33:52Stop it.
33:55We might hurt each other again.
34:01It's better if we don't hurt each other.
34:06It's better...
34:08if we don't hurt each other.
34:14It's better...
34:17if we become friends...
34:20for our kids.
34:35I love you.
35:06How are you?
35:12I've been through a lot in my life.
35:18Michael...
35:20and you.
35:25And for you two...
35:29I gave up my life for you.
35:33Forgive me, Vina.
35:38I wouldn't have come here...
35:41if I hadn't forgiven you.
35:46There's only one reason why I'm here.
35:57Jersey.
36:02Look me in the eyes.
36:08Just for now...
36:12be true to yourself.
36:18Promise me...
36:22that when you get out of here...
36:25you won't bother me anymore.
36:28You won't show yourself to me anymore.
36:34Promise me, Jersey.
36:58You're free.
37:02You can set me free.
37:28Vina...
37:29did you leave any traces of your identity in Jersey?
37:33Half of my body is here.
37:35And the rest is here.
37:37Is this your finger?
37:39Did you cut it when you were an immigrant?
37:41Yes.
37:43My bones are all the way back here.
37:48This is also from my second marriage.
37:50Where?
37:51My second marriage.
37:52Was it in the Philippines?
37:54Yes.
37:55It was my second marriage.
37:57Did you get married again?
37:58Yes.
37:59I got hit again.
38:00So I got two wounds here.
38:02On your head?
38:03Yes.
38:04Then I got back here.
38:05That's why I have a stainless here.
38:07How did you forgive him...
38:09despite the punishment he gave you?
38:13When I talked to Father Barbetos...
38:15at the Pink Sister...
38:16he said to me...
38:18because I was depressed at that time...
38:21that I should forgive him.
38:23I didn't know what he was doing to me.
38:25I was praying.
38:27Suddenly, my mind...
38:30Your mind became clear?
38:32I didn't care anymore.
38:35After that, did you see Jersey?
38:38He took me to my sister's house in Bacaking.
38:41It was 1 a.m.
38:42He hugged me.
38:43He asked for forgiveness.
38:44After that, I didn't...
38:46He sometimes called me on my cell phone.
38:49What lesson can you learn from your life, Mina?
38:53Later on, at my age...
38:56that's when I realized...
38:58That's when you realized?
38:59Yes.
39:00It's not just about the heart...
39:02but the mind and the body should be together.
39:05Because that's what happened to me.
39:07That's my experience.
39:09When you were young?
39:10Yes.
39:11What did your children say?
39:13What happened to you and Jersey?
39:16They told me to take care of my life.
39:20If something happens to my children,
39:24I told them to take care of themselves.
39:26How did you overcome the problems you faced?
39:31I prayed.
39:32I made myself busy.
39:35I took care of the livelihood of the organization.
39:40What do you want to happen to your life, Mina?
39:44I want my life to be full of happiness.
39:49I want my children to be my inspiration.
39:54I hope that we can be together again.
39:58Mina, thank you so much.
40:01You encouraged us to use your story...
40:05to serve our viewers.
40:08Thank you very much.
40:09Thank you very much, too, Ma'am.
40:12Thank you for everything.
40:15Thank you for having me in your program.
40:21With the help of her friends,
40:23Mina was able to support herself again.
40:26She helps as a volunteer...
40:28in the livelihood projects in Baguio City.
40:31Meanwhile, she joined a rehabilitation program in Jersey...
40:35and is now living happily with her new husband.
40:40Despite her bitter experience, Mina is happier now...
40:44because she is able to enjoy her freedom.
40:47Her forgiveness to Jersey is a great help to her...
40:51and her forgiveness to her children.
40:58I am Mel Tianco, and this is the story of each one of us.
41:02Now, tomorrow, and forever.
41:06No matter when, it will never change
41:14The cry of my heart
41:21No matter when, no matter when
