00:00:00 [Music]
00:00:13 Take one.
00:00:14 Action!
00:00:18 [Music]
00:00:47 [Music]
00:01:02 Cut!
00:01:03 [Music]
00:01:14 Hey, watch out!
00:01:16 What's this?
00:01:17 You're crying.
00:01:19 I don't want to do this anymore, Boyet.
00:01:22 I can't do this anymore.
00:01:23 You can't say no.
00:01:24 You have to like it.
00:01:25 You can do it.
00:01:26 But, Boyet.
00:01:30 You have to do this for your fame.
00:01:32 For your name.
00:01:34 And above all, for you to help your family.
00:01:37 Isn't that the only thing that's important to you?
00:01:40 Your family.
00:01:42 [Music]
00:01:47 He grew up without knowing his real father.
00:01:51 He was called "Ampun" and was envied by his own siblings.
00:01:56 He was just a child when he entered the world of being an artist.
00:01:59 But as he grew up,
00:02:01 his films became more popular.
00:02:05 Now, he is one of the hottest sexy stars in the Philippines.
00:02:11 And he is still trying to prove his ability to be a real actress.
00:02:17 He first became famous under the name of Ana Marie Falcon.
00:02:22 Now, we know her better under the name of Francine Prieto.
00:02:27 This is her story.
00:02:30 Let's watch it.
00:02:37 [Music]
00:02:39 Marie, you really love buying things.
00:02:42 Ana, what are you doing there? We have a helper.
00:02:46 Because mommy, the plates are dirty.
00:02:49 And it's been a while since I've been here.
00:02:52 So I broke it.
00:02:54 Maybe daddy will come and he will see the mess in the house.
00:02:57 And this is fine for me.
00:02:59 Ana, you should keep it. Don't do that.
00:03:03 Marie, this is your sister.
00:03:06 You are so lucky and so helpful.
00:03:09 Good afternoon.
00:03:11 And she is so elegant.
00:03:13 The beauty of the child is an artist in the way.
00:03:17 But her siblings are not allowed to touch her.
00:03:21 What? No, they can touch her.
00:03:24 No, Ana is a mistress.
00:03:28 Your other children are in check.
00:03:31 Ana is my mistress.
00:03:34 Her other siblings are in check with their father.
00:03:37 You said it.
00:03:40 But you know,
00:03:43 you are a showbiz.
00:03:46 The beauty of the child is an artist in the way.
00:03:50 Showbiz?
00:03:52 Yes.
00:03:53 How?
00:03:54 In short, you are in the Philippines.
00:03:59 Even when she was young, Francine already had the potential to be an artist.
00:04:04 She was a mistress, that's why she was often made fun of for being an artist.
00:04:09 During those times, she was known as Ana Marie.
00:04:14 And this is the name she used when she participated in the Little Miss Philippines contest of Eat Bulaga.
00:04:20 [music]
00:04:42 But why did Ana participate in the Little Miss Philippines?
00:04:47 If my company didn't tell me, I wouldn't know.
00:04:50 What's wrong with that? Your child is enjoying there.
00:04:53 You know why I don't want to go.
00:04:57 What if my parents find out?
00:04:59 They will be angry.
00:05:01 Your parents first.
00:05:03 What do I care what your parents think about being in check?
00:05:07 Until now, they haven't accepted that you married someone like me who is not in check.
00:05:11 Esther.
00:05:16 Oh, Noel.
00:05:17 I'm tired of thinking what they will think.
00:05:20 How can I think about our family?
00:05:23 Until now, you haven't brought us to you.
00:05:28 I'm still flying.
00:05:32 And you know our tradition.
00:05:34 That's it. That's our big problem.
00:05:38 They really won't accept that you married someone who is not in check?
00:05:42 Is that so?
00:05:44 [music]
00:05:47 Esther, give me some time.
00:05:50 I'm still trying to get along with Papa.
00:05:53 And one more thing, I'm also working in the company.
00:05:57 I don't know, Noel.
00:06:00 If it's just me,
00:06:04 I hope that if someone like you will do something to Ana in participating in that kind of contest,
00:06:09 I hope you will let me do it first.
00:06:13 I don't want to be a nuisance to my family.
00:06:15 Ana.
00:06:18 Ana.
00:06:21 Ana.
00:06:22 Ana.
00:06:27 Ana, don't cry.
00:06:33 I'm so sorry, Mommy.
00:06:38 Because of me, you and Daddy fought.
00:06:43 Don't blame yourself, my child.
00:06:45 You're not at fault there.
00:06:47 It's really my fault, Mommy.
00:06:52 I didn't participate in the contest.
00:06:54 You and Daddy fought, right?
00:06:56 I thought he would be proud of me.
00:07:00 But it's not like that.
00:07:02 My child,
00:07:04 the situation of your father's family traditions is difficult.
00:07:10 And your father can't lose his traditions.
00:07:15 I don't understand, Mommy.
00:07:18 Don't worry, my child.
00:07:20 You will understand that someday.
00:07:23 Just think that we love you as much as your father.
00:07:28 I love him so much, Mommy.
00:07:30 I hope he's not mad at me.
00:07:33 My child, he can never be mad at you.
00:07:38 My child,
00:07:39 I want you to smile.
00:07:43 Because it doesn't suit your beautiful face to cry.
00:07:47 Okay?
00:07:49 Smile.
00:07:50 If Francine wants her grandparents to be close,
00:07:54 it seems impossible to happen.
00:07:56 I have a lot of toys at home.
00:07:59 I want a new doll, Dad.
00:08:03 Sheila, we'll just buy it last week.
00:08:07 But it's old, Dad.
00:08:08 And Anna has a lot of toys.
00:08:10 Okay, then we'll just buy it next time.
00:08:12 Just buy what we bought.
00:08:14 You take care of the kids first.
00:08:18 Okay, okay.
00:08:19 Ma, Ma.
00:08:21 Mommy, who are Daddy's friends?
00:08:26 They are your grandmothers.
00:08:31 Why don't we go to them?
00:08:36 So we can get to know them.
00:08:37 My child, it's not the time yet.
00:08:40 Let's just look around the other store.
00:08:43 There, there might be a lot of pretty things.
00:08:45 Okay, Mom.
00:08:47 Let's go.
00:08:48 As a child star,
00:08:50 Francine also became famous.
00:08:53 She made a few movies,
00:08:55 including "Darna".
00:09:04 Oh, my grandmother.
00:09:06 My grandmother is very beautiful.
00:09:09 She is very beautiful.
00:09:11 Here.
00:09:13 This is a very beautiful doll.
00:09:18 Thank you, thank you.
00:09:22 I'll take care of it.
00:09:24 Thank you, thank you.
00:09:26 Ma, did you call me?
00:09:33 Come here.
00:09:34 Noel.
00:09:45 Is your child on TV?
00:09:49 And a movie called "Anna Marie Fakom"?
00:09:55 I'm going to marry you.
00:10:03 Is he your child or not?
00:10:05 Yes, Pa.
00:10:07 Why?
00:10:09 You don't have money,
00:10:11 you're making your child an artist.
00:10:13 Or I'm not paying you enough.
00:10:17 I'm not going to marry him.
00:10:20 So what?
00:10:22 You're not going to marry him?
00:10:25 You're embarrassing me.
00:10:31 You're embarrassing our family.
00:10:35 You're embarrassing the Chinese community.
00:10:38 You're a coward.
00:10:41 Pa, I'm not a coward.
00:10:44 You want to marry him?
00:10:50 Stop your son from doing stupid things.
00:10:59 You're a coward.
00:11:01 I don't want your son to be an artist.
00:11:14 Why is everything you have out?
00:11:22 Daddy, these are all the things I'm going to use for the shooting tomorrow.
00:11:27 And I'm going to be the young Narda in the movie "Darna".
00:11:32 Are you enjoying what you're doing?
00:11:35 Yes, Daddy. I'm happy with the shooting.
00:11:38 And I'm just playing around.
00:11:40 I know a lot of artists.
00:11:42 I'm always in school.
00:11:45 Why, Daddy?
00:11:50 Don't you want me to be an artist?
00:11:53 Is Grandpa angry?
00:11:56 Because Mommy told me that they don't want me to be an artist.
00:12:00 Son, I don't care what others say.
00:12:05 As long as I know that my little angel is happy, I'm happy too.
00:12:10 Really, Daddy? Are you proud of me?
00:12:13 Of course, I'm very proud of you.
00:12:15 Because not all fathers have sons who are artists.
00:12:18 I love you, Daddy.
00:12:22 You're the best daddy in the whole world.
00:12:26 And you're the best daughter in the whole wide world.
00:12:29 I love you, son.
00:12:31 Because Francine was more favored by their father,
00:12:36 her brother, Sheila, couldn't help but feel jealous.
00:12:41 Sheila, don't destroy my doll, Mem!
00:12:51 What's that?
00:12:54 Don't destroy it!
00:12:55 It should be destroyed! What's that?
00:12:58 I'll tell Mommy!
00:13:00 You won't be able to tell her.
00:13:02 Do you know why?
00:13:04 Because you're just a doll.
00:13:06 You're not the real daughter of Mommy and Daddy.
00:13:08 That's not true! I'm not a doll!
00:13:10 What do you mean?
00:13:12 I heard that from the stories of the people who pretend to be Mommy.
00:13:15 Look at yourself.
00:13:17 You look different from us because you're just a doll.
00:13:19 You're just a doll.
00:13:21 I'm not a doll!
00:13:23 [screams]
00:13:24 Sheila said that she was more confused by Francine
00:13:29 because she wanted to know who her real father was.
00:13:36 Son, why are you crying?
00:13:40 Mommy, I'm just a doll.
00:13:46 I look different from my siblings because I'm a doll.
00:13:51 I'm a doll.
00:13:52 Who told you that?
00:13:55 It doesn't matter who told me that.
00:13:59 I just want to know the truth.
00:14:03 I'm just a doll, Mommy.
00:14:06 You're not a doll, son.
00:14:10 I'm your daughter.
00:14:13 But your father is not your real father.
00:14:20 [music]
00:14:21 Son, when we met your father, I was still working on my ship.
00:14:30 I have a boyfriend, a Norwegian.
00:14:35 I know that one day you'll ask me why I always kiss him because I like him.
00:14:46 I want you to know the truth.
00:14:48 Here, son.
00:14:51 He's your real father.
00:14:55 Daddy is not my real father.
00:15:04 No, son.
00:15:07 But even if he's not your real father,
00:15:12 he loves you so much and he considers you his real son.
00:15:17 Come here.
00:15:20 Son, I want you to tell Daddy that I told you the truth.
00:15:32 Yes.
00:15:33 Because he wants you to think of him as your real father.
00:15:40 He wants you to think of him as your real father because he loves you so much.
00:15:44 Yes.
00:15:48 I love you, Mommy.
00:16:02 Go ahead, son. You might be late for class.
00:16:04 Okay, bye, Mommy.
00:16:06 I'm going, Mommy.
00:16:08 Hey, your friend.
00:16:09 I'm going.
00:16:10 Sheila, you're not in class?
00:16:15 Is she your aunt's artist? She's really pretty.
00:16:18 Can we go inside? We have a project to start, right?
00:16:23 [music]
00:16:48 Sheila, you're wearing makeup so early.
00:16:53 Mom, you're the one who said it's early.
00:16:56 I'm the one who noticed.
00:16:58 I'll teach you, you're still a kid.
00:17:02 Sheila, I talked to one of your teachers.
00:17:06 She said I'm not going to join you because you're cutting classes.
00:17:09 She can't do anything there because she's bored teaching.
00:17:13 What else, Mom? Is there no other food here?
00:17:18 You're so fat. I'm on a diet, right?
00:17:21 Good morning.
00:17:22 Good morning, Dad.
00:17:24 Good morning, Dad.
00:17:27 Good morning.
00:17:28 Oh, get out of here. You're not eating yet.
00:17:33 I'm out of energy. I can only eat at school.
00:17:37 Aren't you going to join us?
00:17:39 No, I have a class there.
00:17:42 You're always like that when you eat.
00:17:50 Don't make your sister wait.
00:17:52 She might not be able to wake up early this morning.
00:17:54 Okay, let's eat.
00:17:56 Hi, Dad. I have news for you.
00:18:01 What is it, dear?
00:18:02 I auditioned for a modeling contest.
00:18:04 I got in. You'll be able to see me in body shots.
00:18:07 Wow!
00:18:09 Really?
00:18:10 When Francine was pregnant, she was already in movies and television.
00:18:16 She wanted to help her parents, so she joined modeling.
00:18:22 Mommy, this is what I got from my modeling racket.
00:18:42 It's from our neighborhood.
00:18:45 I'm so ashamed of you.
00:18:47 You know, I really need this.
00:18:50 I need money now. I can't get anything.
00:18:52 My mommy is acting again.
00:18:56 That's why I'm working to help us.
00:18:59 Mommy, I'm going to school. I'll be late.
00:19:02 Okay, thank you.
00:19:03 Okay.
00:19:04 Bye, Daddy.
00:19:06 Take care.
00:19:07 Okay.
00:19:13 Noel, why don't we just buy our own house?
00:19:20 So we don't have to pay rent to this house.
00:19:23 We'll pay for it.
00:19:24 We won't get money.
00:19:27 How about your father?
00:19:30 We've talked about this, right?
00:19:35 We can't.
00:19:37 Why not?
00:19:39 Almost all of your siblings bought their own house from your father.
00:19:43 You're the only one who didn't.
00:19:45 If it's true, you've already spent a lot of money in your father's company.
00:19:51 I'm ashamed.
00:19:53 I can't ask for money from my father.
00:19:55 So you'll just let your family live in this place?
00:19:59 What if you're gone?
00:20:01 What about me?
00:20:03 What about your children?
00:20:05 Where will they live?
00:20:07 Noel, this is for the family.
00:20:11 Just try.
00:20:13 Okay, I'll try.
00:20:18 But I won't promise.
00:20:20 Meanwhile, Sheila is forcing her father to agree.
00:20:26 But it's really far from his heart.
00:20:29 I hope so.
00:20:30 Sir, can I have a juice?
00:20:51 Okay.
00:20:52 Dad, juice, please.
00:21:12 I'm fine, Sheila. I'm not thirsty yet.
00:21:15 Okay.
00:21:16 Hey, come here.
00:21:22 It's already late.
00:21:27 Your makeup is too thick.
00:21:29 Sheila, I don't like people who are ugly.
00:21:32 You're a student.
00:21:34 You're putting makeup on your face.
00:21:37 Just imitate your sister. It's simple.
00:21:40 It will help our family.
00:21:43 Okay.
00:21:44 [♪♪♪]
00:21:47 [♪♪♪]
00:21:50 [♪♪♪]
00:21:52 [♪♪♪]
00:22:17 [♪♪♪]
00:22:19 Sheila?
00:22:22 Sheila, what are you doing here?
00:22:26 You're cutting classes again?
00:22:27 What do you care?
00:22:30 Oh, you're answering me?
00:22:32 I don't know about you, but you're ruining my day.
00:22:35 Wait, don't talk to me like that.
00:22:37 What?
00:22:38 What's your problem?
00:22:40 Why are you so angry with me?
00:22:41 Do you want to know what my problem is?
00:22:44 You!
00:22:46 Me?
00:22:47 Yes, you!
00:22:48 Because you're beautiful.
00:22:50 You have a beautiful skin.
00:22:52 Everything you do is beautiful.
00:22:53 That's why all of Daddy's attention is on you.
00:22:57 You don't see that you're hurting other people.
00:23:01 So, can you please
00:23:04 stop bothering me because I don't care about you anymore.
00:23:08 [♪♪♪]
00:23:10 [♪♪♪]
00:23:26 Until the end of time,
00:23:31 Francine's life continued
00:23:34 until she was introduced to the Chinese family
00:23:37 of her father.
00:23:39 She really wanted to see these people in person,
00:23:42 especially her grandfather.
00:23:44 Francine's only intention
00:23:46 was to occasionally receive blessings
00:23:49 from her father's relatives,
00:23:51 the Chinese.
00:23:53 Noel,
00:23:55 what is this?
00:23:56 We're getting old for this.
00:23:59 Easy, easy, easy.
00:24:01 It's just a little.
00:24:03 This is really for the poor.
00:24:04 It's just a little.
00:24:05 Okay, just stay there.
00:24:07 One, two, three.
00:24:10 This is so meaningful.
00:24:16 We're going to live here.
00:24:18 This is our own house.
00:24:20 What?
00:24:21 How did that happen?
00:24:23 Daddy gave it to us.
00:24:25 I told him that you wanted to live in our own house.
00:24:28 So, he gave it to us.
00:24:29 Really?
00:24:32 Thank you so much.
00:24:33 We're not going to be scared anymore.
00:24:34 We have our own house.
00:24:36 Daddy, our house is so big.
00:24:39 Yes, it is.
00:24:41 It's really big.
00:24:42 And you have your own room here.
00:24:43 Thank you, Daddy.
00:24:45 Daddy, Daddy,
00:24:47 how about us?
00:24:48 You two, stay outside.
00:24:50 No, you have a room.
00:24:53 You can stay there.
00:24:55 You're so big.
00:24:57 Mine is bigger.
00:24:58 You're so big.
00:25:00 We have a lot.
00:25:01 Sheila,
00:25:05 aren't you happy with our new house?
00:25:08 I'm just happy.
00:25:12 I'm really happy.
00:25:14 Our house is beautiful.
00:25:16 Don't you understand your sister.
00:25:23 I noticed that she's really hot this morning.
00:25:26 She's always like that, Mommy.
00:25:29 But Francine's father's income went down
00:25:31 since they moved to the townhouse.
00:25:34 Because he's addicted to the addiction of firing.
00:25:38 Hold that gun again.
00:25:45 Don't mind me, Esther.
00:25:48 You know that I'm just good at this.
00:25:50 Yes, but that addiction is expensive.
00:25:54 You're spending a lot of money on it.
00:25:57 We need that money, especially now that we're broke.
00:26:00 We're struggling, right?
00:26:02 Yes, because Anna is helping us.
00:26:04 What if she doesn't have a racket anymore?
00:26:06 The kids will be left to suffer.
00:26:09 Don't be so negative.
00:26:12 Mommy,
00:26:19 I feel sorry for you.
00:26:23 Mommy, that's for our expenses.
00:26:27 And don't be shy.
00:26:28 We're a family.
00:26:30 We can't be shy.
00:26:32 And I'm happy when I can help.
00:26:35 Thank you, Anna.
00:26:38 Not long after,
00:26:40 Francine finally fulfilled her wish
00:26:44 to introduce her grandfather and grandmother.
00:26:47 Noel, aren't you ashamed?
00:26:50 Do I look okay?
00:26:52 You're fine. Don't be too nervous.
00:26:55 I'm fine.
00:26:56 I'm fine.
00:26:59 Dad.
00:27:16 What's going on?
00:27:17 Why are you so sad?
00:27:22 Quecha,
00:27:23 Pa,
00:27:25 Guaycanchu Esther,
00:27:26 Guayca,
00:27:28 Sheila,
00:27:29 Anna,
00:27:30 Richard,
00:27:31 Patrick.
00:27:32 Go to your table.
00:27:34 Chichalo.
00:27:36 What are those things?
00:27:46 Mommy's old stuff.
00:27:49 She asked me to put them in the warehouse.
00:27:50 Warehouse?
00:27:51 Hey, you're not paying attention.
00:27:56 Daddy is not my real daddy.
00:28:13 No, Anna.
00:28:15 But even if you're not his real daddy,
00:28:19 he loves you so much.
00:28:21 And he treats you like his own child.
00:28:25 What are you looking at?
00:28:28 Nothing, just a book.
00:28:31 Daddy, that's enough. You look tired.
00:28:44 I'm fine. Don't understand me.
00:28:48 But you know what, I'm happy.
00:28:50 I'm happy because my parents have recognized my family.
00:28:56 But you know, it's not hard for them because I broke the tradition.
00:29:01 I'm also happy.
00:29:03 But I hope I can get to know my grandfather better.
00:29:06 That will happen, too.
00:29:07 But above all, I'm happier because you're my son.
00:29:11 Thank you for helping your family.
00:29:14 You're welcome, Daddy.
00:29:16 But I'm really lucky because you're my son.
00:29:18 Daddy, why?
00:29:22 Did the doctor call me?
00:29:24 No, no.
00:29:27 I'm fine. Don't understand me.
00:29:30 I'm just tired because I've been sitting here in the car for a while.
00:29:34 But Daddy, you still need to see the doctor.
00:29:37 What if something happens to me?
00:29:38 No, no, my child.
00:29:40 Your daddy is strong.
00:29:41 He doesn't treat me with any illness.
00:29:43 So don't worry.
00:29:45 Nothing will happen to me and I will not leave you.
00:29:47 Nothing will happen to me and I will not leave you.
00:29:49 Nothing will happen to me and I will not leave you.
00:30:17 Sheila, this is your tuition fee.
00:30:19 Thank you.
00:30:25 Why?
00:30:29 You're not happy.
00:30:31 I'm not happy?
00:30:35 What's wrong with you?
00:30:37 I'm happy, right?
00:30:38 Because you're helping this family a lot.
00:30:42 And you're the one who's teaching me.
00:30:45 And I'm just really happy.
00:30:47 Sheila, I'm not helping you with anything.
00:30:52 Yes, you're not.
00:30:53 But do you know that because of this money, you're the only one who sees Daddy?
00:30:58 You're the only one who notices him.
00:31:01 Do you know the truth?
00:31:05 It's like you're his only child.
00:31:08 He's his only child.
00:31:09 Despite Sheila's bad attitude towards him,
00:31:29 Fanzine did not lose hope that one day,
00:31:33 she will be able to convince her brother.
00:31:36 Fanzine continued to work hard to bring her family closer.
00:31:40 Noel, what did you eat?
00:31:42 Why did you suddenly dress up like a mother?
00:31:44 Nothing, we're just going to the beach.
00:31:46 Really, Daddy? Why? What occasion?
00:31:49 Why? Do we need to have an occasion to be with our family?
00:31:53 So, hurry up so we can get there right away before morning.
00:31:57 Wait, I'll prepare the food.
00:31:59 Don't, we'll just buy there.
00:32:00 And I assure you, our vacation will be fun.
00:32:04 Go ahead, call them.
00:32:05 Yes, wait.
00:32:06 Son, teacher, Patrick, Sheila, hurry up.
00:32:13 Daddy?
00:32:14 Noel?
00:32:16 Noel, it's Sheila!
00:32:17 Daddy!
00:32:18 It's your daddy!
00:32:19 Daddy!
00:32:20 Noel!
00:32:21 Hey, teacher, it's Noel!
00:32:22 He's in a panic, hurry up! Call him!
00:32:24 Okay, he's in a panic.
00:32:25 Noel!
00:32:27 Noel!
00:32:28 Daddy!
00:32:29 Oh my God!
00:32:30 Noel!
00:32:31 Daddy!
00:32:33 Noel!
00:32:34 Daddy!
00:32:35 Mommy?
00:33:02 [Police radio chatter]
00:33:06 What?
00:33:08 Your daddy?
00:33:11 Let's be strong, Mommy.
00:33:15 God won't leave Daddy.
00:33:18 Doc, how's my husband's condition?
00:33:24 Mrs., you're late.
00:33:25 Why? What do you mean?
00:33:29 We've finished all our examinations on him.
00:33:32 And I'm saddened that your husband has colon cancer.
00:33:38 And he's in a terminal case.
00:33:42 No, that's not true. You're lying.
00:33:47 I'm sorry, Ma'am.
00:33:48 Son, that's not true!
00:33:52 [Crying]
00:33:55 Suddenly, Francine's father was sick with colon cancer.
00:34:05 In a short time, his condition worsened.
00:34:09 My God, save my daddy.
00:34:14 Have mercy on him.
00:34:20 I can't lose my daddy.
00:34:24 I'm the only one who can do this.
00:34:29 I don't want to lose my daddy.
00:34:32 Have mercy on him.
00:34:36 [Crying]
00:34:40 [Sobbing]
00:34:43 [Sobbing]
00:34:47 [Sobbing]
00:34:50 [Sobbing]
00:35:14 [Sobbing]
00:35:17 I'm scared.
00:35:21 Daddy can't be gone.
00:35:28 I don't want him to be gone.
00:35:33 Let's have strength in our hearts, Sheena.
00:35:38 God won't leave us.
00:35:42 [Sobbing]
00:35:45 I don't think you understand me.
00:35:56 I love my daddy so much.
00:36:02 I can't lose him.
00:36:07 [Sobbing]
00:36:11 [Sobbing]
00:36:14 I can't lose him.
00:36:17 [Sobbing]
00:36:22 [Sobbing]
00:36:28 [Sobbing]
00:36:35 [Music]
00:36:38 Esther, I feel like I'm not my daddy anymore.
00:36:51 Don't say that. We're just here, your children.
00:36:57 I love you. I love you so much.
00:37:04 I love you.
00:37:05 If I did something wrong, forgive me for my shortcomings.
00:37:17 No, Wil.
00:37:19 Sheila.
00:37:32 Daddy.
00:37:33 Wil, I can't tell you that I love you.
00:37:41 I'm proud of you, not just for your hard work.
00:37:51 When you're sleeping, I'm proud of what you do.
00:38:02 I told you that one day you'll be famous as a painter.
00:38:08 Daddy, I love you so much.
00:38:11 You don't have to say it anymore, my child.
00:38:15 I love you. I love you too.
00:38:19 I love you, my child.
00:38:21 I love you.
00:38:25 [Sobbing]
00:38:28 Patrick.
00:38:37 Patrick, your dad is okay.
00:38:40 Richard.
00:38:41 Your dad is okay.
00:38:42 My child, you're a good boy.
00:38:46 If you're going to give your mom a problem,
00:38:53 don't let it go.
00:38:56 Richard,
00:39:01 when I'm gone, you'll be the father of the family.
00:39:10 You take care of your siblings.
00:39:15 I will, dad.
00:39:17 Thank you, son.
00:39:21 [Sobbing]
00:39:25 Mom? Dad?
00:39:28 [Speaking Filipino]
00:39:40 Take care of your family.
00:39:44 [Speaking Filipino]
00:39:52 Ana?
00:39:54 Ana, your dad is calling you.
00:39:57 Ana.
00:39:59 Thank you.
00:40:04 Thank you for helping our family.
00:40:09 [Speaking Filipino]
00:40:19 [Sobbing]
00:40:25 Don't look for God, because I know you're there for them.
00:40:35 [Sobbing]
00:40:39 Study hard.
00:40:41 Finish your studies.
00:40:44 Yes, dad.
00:40:47 Even if you're in trouble.
00:40:48 I promise you.
00:40:52 My child,
00:40:55 I have something to tell you before I say goodbye.
00:41:04 My child,
00:41:05 I want you to know,
00:41:11 I'm not your real father.
00:41:17 We're not related.
00:41:23 But God knows,
00:41:32 even if I'm not your real father,
00:41:34 I love you more than I love myself.
00:41:43 Dad, I knew that before,
00:41:52 but it doesn't matter anymore.
00:41:56 Because here in my heart,
00:42:01 you're the only one I have,
00:42:04 and no one else.
00:42:07 I love you, my child.
00:42:11 I love you too.
00:42:13 Daddy!
00:42:26 Daddy!
00:42:29 Daddy!
00:42:31 Daddy!
00:42:36 [Sobbing]
00:43:05 Mommy, are you okay?
00:43:08 My child, what will we do now?
00:43:15 How will we live?
00:43:20 God has mercy, mommy.
00:43:27 We can also get lost.
00:43:30 I love you.
00:43:31 Daddy.
00:43:45 Esther,
00:43:48 I know that we're not close to your family.
00:43:59 But,
00:44:00 my child,
00:44:03 I know that you love each other.
00:44:10 So,
00:44:14 don't worry.
00:44:17 I assure you,
00:44:21 you will have a good life.
00:44:27 This is from me.
00:44:30 Thank you so much, daddy.
00:44:36 Thank you so much.
00:44:39 Fancy's family was in great loss after their father's death.
00:44:48 After his burial,
00:44:50 the next flood came to their family.
00:44:55 Fancy was thinking of ways to help her mother.
00:44:59 Mommy, are you okay?
00:45:25 [Sobbing]
00:45:26 My child,
00:45:28 your grandfather is giving us so little.
00:45:32 Look,
00:45:34 this is just a market.
00:45:37 Mommy,
00:45:44 our situation is so difficult now, my child.
00:45:48 Since your father died,
00:45:51 I feel like we're being robbed.
00:45:54 I don't know how much they'll give us.
00:45:56 I talked to my agency.
00:46:01 The modeling is really hard.
00:46:05 I don't have any projects.
00:46:08 How will we manage?
00:46:11 In a week,
00:46:14 your two brothers will be on a tuition again.
00:46:17 Where will we get the money?
00:46:19 [Sobbing]
00:46:20 Don't worry, mommy.
00:46:25 I'll find a way.
00:46:28 We'll get through this.
00:46:32 Mommy, stop it.
00:46:37 We'll get through this. I promise you.
00:46:41 Amen.
00:46:45 Joining the Binebining Pilipinas became Fancy's way to help her.
00:46:50 But she didn't let her win this competition.
00:46:54 Mom,
00:47:13 I did everything,
00:47:15 but I still didn't win.
00:47:19 My child, we can't do anything about it.
00:47:23 It's not your fault.
00:47:25 I feel like this is our last chance.
00:47:32 I just lost.
00:47:35 What will we do now?
00:47:38 Excuse me,
00:47:41 I'm Robitan's assistant.
00:47:43 He asked me to come here to give you his number.
00:47:46 Here it is.
00:47:47 He said you should call him because he wants to talk to you.
00:47:51 Isn't this the movie producer?
00:47:53 Yes, that's him.
00:47:55 My child.
00:47:57 Amin.
00:48:07 Sir, is Anna Marie here?
00:48:10 Yes, please come in.
00:48:11 Please come in.
00:48:13 Good afternoon.
00:48:17 Good afternoon.
00:48:19 Please sit down.
00:48:21 Thank you.
00:48:22 I don't want to keep you waiting.
00:48:26 I watched you on Binebining Pilipinas.
00:48:28 And personally, I like you.
00:48:31 I have a line-up of projects.
00:48:34 I want you to be in it if you agree.
00:48:37 But these movies are a bit sexy.
00:48:40 Do you agree to make it sexy, Anna?
00:48:42 This is a good opportunity.
00:48:44 It's a waste if you're not in it.
00:48:46 Okay, I agree.
00:48:55 Good.
00:48:56 You won't regret it.
00:48:58 I also thought of changing your name so that your image will be new.
00:49:04 What's your name?
00:49:06 Francine.
00:49:07 Francine Prieto.
00:49:10 Francine Prieto.
00:49:13 Francine has continued to expand in the field of making movies sexy.
00:49:34 In her desire to help her family and in her desire to have a name,
00:49:40 she's working hard to make bold stars who are her companions.
00:49:46 You need to do this for fame, for a name, and above all, to help your family.
00:49:54 Isn't that the only important thing for you?
00:49:57 Your family.
00:49:59 Your family.
00:50:00 Okay, I will continue this.
00:50:10 Okay.
00:50:12 [Music]
00:50:15 [Music]
00:50:18 [Music]
00:50:46 Hey, wait a minute.
00:50:49 Anna, this is for you.
00:51:02 Open it.
00:51:14 Look, sis.
00:51:16 You know, I made that.
00:51:23 Do you like it?
00:51:36 Sis, I'm sorry if I always fight with you.
00:51:44 I just didn't understand you then.
00:51:48 You know, I'm jealous of you.
00:51:53 I feel like you're the only one who loves daddy.
00:51:59 All his attention is on you.
00:52:03 I can't see all your hard work for us.
00:52:13 Sis, please forgive me for all the mistakes I've done to you.
00:52:25 Okay, you don't have to ask for forgiveness.
00:52:30 Because even before, I understand you.
00:52:35 I love you and I consider you as my sister.
00:52:40 I love you, sis.
00:52:44 [Music]
00:52:46 Francine has already started her career after the successful release of "Liberated",
00:53:07 her launching movie in Seiko Films.
00:53:10 She was also followed by another box office hit, the sex comedy "Bridal Shower".
00:53:15 But it seems that Francine doesn't like the way she's aligned with the movies.
00:53:23 That's why I called you here because I don't like what you're doing.
00:53:27 This school is also my duty to care for the reputation of our school,
00:53:39 of our institution.
00:53:40 What do you mean?
00:53:43 Many people are calling me and saying that your movie is a waste.
00:53:51 This is a Catholic school, sis.
00:53:55 I will not allow the reputation and credibility of this school to be ruined just because of your acting.
00:54:03 Sir, that's just a job.
00:54:06 Sorry, I've made a decision.
00:54:11 You cannot enroll in this school.
00:54:16 Sir, don't do that.
00:54:19 I have a promise to my father that I will finish my studies.
00:54:23 We all have our sad story to tell, but I have nothing to do.
00:54:33 But I have nothing to do.
00:54:36 It's in the guidelines of our university that you're not allowed to do anything.
00:54:43 That's why we can kick you out.
00:54:46 Sir, please have mercy.
00:54:50 It's just a job, that's why I did it.
00:54:54 Please sir, don't kick me out of here. Please sir.
00:54:58 I'm really sorry.
00:55:03 But I have nothing to do.
00:55:05 The decision is final.
00:55:11 The decision is final.
00:55:13 [music]
00:55:40 What's their problem? Why are they doing this to me?
00:55:44 I just want to finish my studies. I'm doing everything.
00:55:49 You know what, sis? Let them be. It's their loss.
00:55:54 Look, you're smart.
00:55:56 I'm sure you can find another school that is better than yours.
00:56:02 Why? Because they don't understand me.
00:56:09 Son?
00:56:10 Mommy, why?
00:56:12 Good news, don't cry. I talked to my friend, Dean.
00:56:16 He will help you transfer to another university next semester.
00:56:20 So you won't stop studying.
00:56:22 Yes, you see.
00:56:24 Why? Aren't you happy that I'm here?
00:56:35 I'm so happy, Mommy. I'm just crying because I'm thinking of Daddy.
00:56:41 If I fulfill my promise to him, I can still finish my studies.
00:56:50 Hurry up, they're coming.
00:57:02 Okay.
00:57:04 Put this here.
00:57:05 I'm ready.
00:57:07 Move a little.
00:57:09 There.
00:57:10 Oh, what's happening here, Mommy?
00:57:15 Don't you know that it's your Daddy's birthday?
00:57:17 I know, but did you prepare?
00:57:20 Of course, even if your Daddy is not here, he still needs to celebrate his birthday, right?
00:57:26 Let's start.
00:57:29 Give me the postpone.
00:57:31 Here.
00:57:32 Anna?
00:57:42 Maybe you should blow your Daddy's candle.
00:57:46 Okay.
00:57:48 Happy birthday, Dad!
00:57:53 Happy birthday, Daddy!
00:57:55 Let's eat.
00:57:59 I know you're hungry. Let's eat.
00:58:01 Anna, why?
00:58:03 Nothing, Mommy. I'm just happy.
00:58:08 And I know that wherever Daddy is now, he's also happy for all of us, forever.
00:58:17 Forever.
00:58:20 Let's stop crying. Let's eat. I'm hungry too.
00:58:26 Let's eat.
00:58:27 [music]
00:58:29 Kardcine, what ambition does a person like you have at your age?
00:58:33 Since I'm still studying, I want to finish my studies.
00:58:38 I hope I can stay in this business for a long time, and I hope I can have my own business someday.
00:58:46 Because my job is not forever.
00:58:48 What are you taking up in college?
00:58:50 Psychology.
00:58:51 You're taking up psychology.
00:58:53 Do you understand what you've been through in your life?
00:58:57 Yes, I understand.
00:58:58 You've already accepted that.
00:59:01 It's hard when you don't know your father, right?
00:59:04 How did that feel for a young girl?
00:59:07 Nothing, because since I was a child, I felt a lot of love for my Daddy.
00:59:15 My Daddy now.
00:59:16 Because they say that when a child is like that, when you don't know either of your parents,
00:59:20 it affects your life.
00:59:22 Maybe for others, but not for me.
00:59:24 You don't know your real father.
00:59:26 You have this, but you're not welcome in the family.
00:59:31 That's it.
00:59:33 When we were young, of course, a lot of people asked, "Why is that?"
00:59:36 We heard that because they have a radio, we heard that they're talking,
00:59:40 they're going to a party, my Daddy is going there.
00:59:43 Sometimes, I'll go to the party on the other side.
00:59:45 It's like, "Why aren't we together?"
00:59:48 And did you eventually discover why?
00:59:51 Because we didn't accept it.
00:59:53 Why didn't you accept it?
00:59:55 Maybe they didn't want to get my Mommy and Daddy married.
00:59:58 Don't you get nervous that later, the men won't treat you seriously because of your job?
01:00:08 If ever that person comes, I think, if he really loves me and wants to marry me,
01:00:14 he will accept me, whoever I am.
01:00:16 If your father's family is watching, that you're not that close,
01:00:23 what would you want to say to them?
01:00:25 To my father's family, especially to my Dad and Mom,
01:00:29 thank you for accepting us as your family.
01:00:34 Even if we're just a little bit close, it's okay for us.
01:00:38 I hope you'll always love us, we'll love you too, no matter what happens.
01:00:46 And to your Mom?
01:00:47 Mommy, thank you for always being there.
01:00:51 I'll always be here for you, even if you don't want me to be your boyfriend.
01:00:59 That's okay.
01:01:00 Mommy, I'll always be here for you. I love you so much.
01:01:04 Thank you very much, Francine.
01:01:07 Thank you.
01:01:08 Thank you for your encouragement to use your story to be an inspiration to the youth.
01:01:18 And this is for you. Thank you very much.
01:01:21 Thank you, Tito Mel, and of course, for always being there.
01:01:24 And of course, to GMA Kapuso, thank you very much.
01:01:32 And I also want to thank the people who helped me.
01:01:37 First of all, to Tito Robby Tan, who opened the doors for me in the show business,
01:01:43 my boss in Seiko Films, Tito Robby, thank you for trusting me again.
01:01:49 And of course, to my manager, Tito Cesar Evangelista, for supporting me.
01:01:54 Thank you very much.
01:01:56 To my family, who always loves me, and to my friends and fans,
01:02:04 who always supports me, I hope you will always support me.
01:02:08 And for me to last longer and to be known as a real actress.
01:02:14 Okay, thank you, Francine.
01:02:16 Thank you very much.
01:02:17 Even if she had to give up her career to help her family,
01:02:24 Francine only aspires for respect and recognition for her abilities.
01:02:30 She knows that it's not easy to enter the business world, and no matter how chaotic the show business world is,
01:02:35 Francine is ready to fulfill her dreams in life.
01:02:40 I am Mel Tianko, and this is the story of each one of us, now, tomorrow, and forever.
