00:47 She was the daughter of the former sexy starlet, Rowena Ruiz.
00:58 And now, she's also a sexy actress and one of the youngest members of Viva Hot Pace.
01:05 But at the age of 20, she has already gone through many trials in life.
01:11 Trials that hit her weak mind.
01:14 Trials that became the reason for her to learn to be strong, brave, and be a fighter.
01:23 My friends, let's listen to the colorful story of life of Joan Cristal de Sous,
01:30 who we know better as JC Parker.

05:09 Yes?
05:10 What are you doing?
05:11 What do you think?
05:13 Why are you staring at me?
05:14 Just help me pack.
05:16 Why are you packing?
05:18 Where are we going?
05:19 To Laguna.
05:20 We will stay there.
05:22 Why?
05:23 And where is Papa?
05:25 Papa?
05:27 You found your Papa.
05:28 He's gone.
05:29 He's fired us.
05:31 That's not true, Mama.
05:33 You don't believe me? Come here.
05:35 Look.
05:37 Is he still there?
05:38 He's gone.
05:39 He's not there anymore.
05:41 He's gone to your Grandpa and Grandma's house.
05:44 He's gone.
05:45 He's gone.
05:46 They fired us all.
05:47 [music]
05:52 What are you waiting for?
05:54 Go get your clothes.
05:55 Go on.
05:56 [music]
06:00 [music]
06:10 [music]
06:14 Son, why haven't you gone to bed yet?
06:20 We have to travel early tomorrow to Laguna.
06:24 [music]
06:38 Dad!
06:40 Hey!
06:41 Dad.
06:46 Hey, how are you?
06:51 Oh, she's your aunt.
06:54 Dad, this is Joan, my daughter.
06:58 Oh, my.
06:59 My granddaughter is so tall.
07:03 Joan, this is your Grandpa Ricardo.
07:06 And this is your Auntie Eie.
07:08 She's the one I told you about, my sister.
07:10 We're really close.
07:13 And this is your cousin, Jeffrey.
07:17 Joan, now that your father is gone,
07:21 we, your Auntie Eie, will be your protection.
07:25 Don't be shy.
07:26 And if you ever have a fight,
07:29 we, your Auntie Eie, will be there for you.
07:33 You can tell us.
07:35 Okay, okay.
07:36 Dad, let's have a snack.
07:38 Oh, my God, the trip is so far away.
07:39 It's so hot and tiring.
07:41 That bus is so boring.
07:42 I was so annoyed when there was an air conditioner,
07:44 but it was broken.
07:46 Let's eat.
07:47 Wait a minute, Rita.
07:49 Joan.
07:51 What really happened?
07:54 I didn't do anything wrong, Dad.
07:55 You're so good at guessing.
07:57 My husband brought my daughter to America without telling me.
08:01 Rowena!
08:03 Oh, it's you!
08:05 You're here!
08:06 Miss, it's me.
08:07 Oh, my.
08:08 Did you just come back from the Philippines?
08:09 Of course.
08:10 Let's go to Mrs. Adolfo's.
08:12 What's there?
08:13 There's a party there.
08:14 Oh, there's a party. Let's go.
08:15 Rowena, I thought you were going to eat.
08:17 Later, later.
08:18 What happened to you?
08:20 Oh, I might get pregnant.
08:22 Joan?
08:28 What time is it?
08:34 What are you doing there?
08:36 Are you waiting for your mom?
08:44 If I were you, don't wait for her.
08:47 Because you know, if she gets pregnant,
08:49 it will be in the morning.
08:51 She'll be home tomorrow.
08:53 So, go to sleep.
08:56 Go.
08:57 Apologize to your mom, okay?
09:06 Because you know, even if she doesn't admit it,
09:08 it was hurtful when your dad left you.
09:11 So, she just goes through drinking and gambling.
09:16 Mom is also addicted.
09:20 Is that the reason why dad left us?
09:25 Even though we're together, they're still addicted.
09:30 And now, what I know, she's still addicted
09:36 because she's always with us.
09:39 She's still addicted because I can see her things.
09:44 Joan, listen to me, okay?
09:48 Remember this.
09:51 No matter what happens, don't get mad at your mom.
09:56 You know, the day will come when it will change.
10:00 Even if she's like that, I still don't want her to leave.
10:06 Dad is gone. I don't want mom to leave us.
10:11 What's wrong with me?
10:16 Mom, why are you fighting?
10:19 That's why I'm asking because you're waiting for me.
10:25 You're so bad.
10:26 You're so bad.
10:27 What's wrong with you?
10:28 Don't mind me. She's my daughter.
10:31 You're so bad.
10:33 You're so bad.
10:35 You're so bad.
10:37 Wait, wait.
10:42 Mom, are you okay?
10:44 Dad, I'm fine.
10:47 Jo's sister, Alexandra, was addicted.
10:51 At first, she was happy to have a new sister.
10:55 But it changed when Rowena felt the need to get back with her husband.
11:03 What's taking you so long? Hurry up!
11:06 Yes, I'm coming.
11:08 Your sister is hungry.
11:11 Why are you taking so long?
11:18 I'm not taking long. I'm just in a hurry.
11:21 What do you mean you're in a hurry?
11:23 You're still going to answer that.
11:26 I'm your mother.
11:28 You're my daughter.
11:30 You're the reason why my husband left me.
11:33 No, it's not my fault.
11:36 You're still answering that?
11:38 What is it?
11:39 Stop it!
11:41 She's your sister.
11:43 Your sister is the one who's at fault for leaving us.
11:47 Get out of my sight!
11:50 Get out!
11:52 Go to the kitchen!
11:56 Because of their relationship, Rowena became addicted to alcohol and was forbidden to take drugs.
12:03 And Jo was the reason why she lost all her anger to the world.
12:08 You're a big girl now, and you're still peeing in your bed?
12:12 You're so lazy!
12:14 You're so lazy!
12:15 I didn't mean to!
12:17 Why are you still so lazy?
12:19 You're the one who's lazy in my life!
12:21 You're so lazy!
12:24 You're so lazy!

13:52 You're the one who's lazy!
13:54 Go inside!
13:55 Don't make a noise!
13:56 That's enough!
13:58 It's not like you're back already,
14:06 you can take your grandchild.
14:08 Wen,
14:11 I know you can't take good care of him.
14:13 It would be better for Jun
14:16 if I take him
14:18 and bring him back to Manila.
14:21 I'll take care of him.
14:23 He's not here.
14:25 And I won't let you take him from me
14:27 because I have more rights than him.
14:30 Grandma!
14:31 He's not with us anymore.
14:35 Mom!
14:36 You don't want me to be with Grandma Eya,
14:40 but you're contradicting me like I'm not your child.
14:43 Grandma Eya,
14:45 please take me with you.
14:50 John brought his Grandma Eya to Bulacan.
14:53 Everything changed here for him.
14:56 He became a princess
14:58 and became a king.
14:59 At the same time,
15:00 he learned how to fight
15:02 and become a warrior.
15:04 Until he changed his behavior.
15:07 That's the kid, Swerd.
15:10 His grandma and grandma
15:13 went to other countries, states.
15:16 They were so arrogant.
15:17 And it's just new here in Bulacan.
15:20 You think it's someone else?
15:21 Yes.
15:22 What did you say?
15:23 Nothing.
15:24 Are you paying?
15:30 No, I'll pay later.
15:32 I'm not in debt.
15:34 Oh, really?
15:35 Oh, you're a kid!
15:36 Never mind.
15:39 I won't let anyone take him
15:41 and leave my loved ones.
15:44 The people who should take care of me,
15:47 I left them.
15:49 I won't add to their burden.
15:51 I won't allow it.
15:53 Me too.
15:54 So now,
15:58 I'm a warrior.
16:00 I won't allow them to make me miserable.
16:04 No one will ever treat me badly.
16:07 No one will ever judge me.
16:10 John!
16:12 John!
16:13 John!
16:14 You!
16:15 Why did you throw away Felix's barbecue?
16:18 Where did he learn
16:19 how to behave like that?
16:21 Aren't you disciplined?
16:23 You'll see.
16:25 Go!
16:28 Go!
16:29 Hurry up!
16:31 Do you think I'll be scared
16:36 of his God?
16:38 Faster, okay?
16:40 I'm going to play.
16:42 Faster!
16:43 I'm going to beat you up!
16:45 So, are you done?
16:55 Go ahead.
16:56 You're a winner.
16:58 Wait,
16:59 I'll tell my grandma.
17:01 Not long after,
17:04 John brought his grandma,
17:06 and grandpa,
17:07 to America.
17:09 Here,
17:10 he was able to reunite with his father,
17:13 who also has a new family.
17:15 Your son is really like you.
17:21 How many years
17:22 has it been since you saw your parents?
17:24 I'm sure she missed her daddy.
17:26 Yes,
17:27 finally,
17:28 I'm relieved
17:29 because I have a parent again.
17:31 Of course.
17:33 Hi, honey!
17:35 Hi, sweetheart!
17:37 Excuse me, Ma.
17:38 Oh, my baby!
17:39 Hi!
17:40 Hi!
17:41 Hello, baby!
17:42 Kiss grandma!
17:43 Kiss grandma!
17:44 Kiss grandma!
17:45 Oh, my baby!
17:46 Hi, mom!
17:47 Hi!
17:48 Hi, dad!
17:49 Hello, sweetheart!
17:50 Oh, right.
17:54 This is my daughter, John.
17:57 John,
17:58 this is your mommy, Marie Vigne.
18:00 Oh, my!
18:02 Your dad is so right.
18:04 You're such a beautiful girl.
18:07 Just give her some time.
18:08 She's still growing.
18:09 John's life in America became happy.
18:29 Aside from reuniting with his father,
18:31 who has been away from him for a long time,
18:33 he also got to be with his favorite grandparents.
18:36 He also got to be with his stepmother, Marie Vigne.
18:39 And above all,
18:40 John was happy that in America,
18:42 no one was hurting him.
18:44 John's happy life in America continued
18:47 until he entered St. Nicholas High School.
18:51 I'm so happy, son.
18:59 I got to give my daughter a chance to grow up.
19:02 And I got to give you a chance to make up for it.
19:05 You know, I missed a lot of opportunities.
19:09 Attending your school functions,
19:11 taking you to the mall.
19:13 I missed a lot of things, but I'll make up for it.
19:16 I promise.
19:17 I'll just listen to you, dad. I'm so happy.
19:20 Oh, what time is it?
19:22 You better go.
19:23 You don't want to make a bad impression on your first day, right?
19:26 Yes.
19:27 Okay.
19:28 Love you, dad.
19:29 I love you, son.
19:30 Bye-bye.
19:31 Bye-bye.
19:32 Oh, sorry.
19:42 Because of his new jump and his new outfit,
19:54 John's body became a burden in the school.
19:58 He endured it until a man stole his attention.
20:04 Excuse me, have you got the time?
20:09 Is your watch working?
20:11 Time?
20:12 Oh, yeah, yeah. It's four o'clock.
20:15 No, no, no, no. Five o'clock.
20:17 Five o'clock.
20:18 Five o'clock.
20:19 Yes, five.
20:20 All right, thanks.
20:22 I'm Joan Crystal.
20:26 You can call me Joan for short.
20:29 [♪♪♪]
20:58 Psst.
20:59 Psst. Hey.
21:01 Hey.
21:03 Do you want a copy?
21:07 Okay.
21:11 Lord, sorry. I'm just a child.
21:15 Hey, what are you doing?
21:24 Nothing.
21:26 You better not.
21:27 [♪♪♪]
21:30 Time is up.
21:46 Hand over your papers, even those who are not finished.
21:50 [♪♪♪]
21:53 [♪♪♪]
21:56 Brian.
22:10 Brian.
22:18 Brian.
22:20 [♪♪♪]
22:23 Phone number.
22:27 Deb, you're just being unfair.
22:34 I'm the one who's unfair?
22:37 You're pampering Joan too much.
22:40 She's too much.
22:42 What's wrong with that?
22:44 She's my daughter.
22:46 We're your family now.
22:48 Don't put your daughter before other women.
22:50 In the first place, I don't want her to live here.
22:53 You're the only one who's forcing her.
22:55 Why don't you just let her live with your parents
22:58 instead of torturing your child here?
23:01 [♪♪♪]
23:17 [door slams]
23:18 You're just a bad person.
23:24 I thought I could make you my mother.
23:28 I didn't make you.
23:31 I didn't make you cry.
23:34 I told myself,
23:36 I won't be forced to do it again.
23:39 [♪♪♪]
23:44 [♪♪♪]

24:10 Come on, Brian, pick up.
24:17 Hello?
24:19 Hello?
24:21 Brian?
24:22 It's me, Joan Crystal.
24:25 Joan who?
24:27 Joan, you know, the girl from the bench.
24:30 Oh, I see.
24:33 I'm really sorry, but I don't really remember.
24:36 Um, the girls, um, today at the exam.
24:41 You know, the ones seated right next to you.
24:45 Oh, yeah, the chick with the big thick glasses
24:49 and the funky clothing.
24:51 Yeah, um, yeah.
24:54 So, um, anyway, what do you want?
24:58 Oh, nothing.
24:59 I just thought that maybe you want to chat.
25:02 You want to chat right now?
25:04 Yeah.
25:06 Right now.
25:08 Um, look, I'm really busy right now.
25:12 Oh, really? Um, maybe some other time then.
25:16 That's okay.
25:17 Yeah, listen, um, I'm not really interested, okay?
25:21 What do you mean?
25:23 Look, I really don't have time for this right now.
25:27 I am far too busy.
25:28 Uh, okay, wait, wait.
25:30 Before you hang up, I have your organizer's.
25:32 Um, you left it at the top of your desk earlier.
25:36 Oh, look, about the organizer, look, you can throw it away,
25:39 you can keep it, do whatever you want with it, okay?
25:42 I don't really need it anyway.
25:44 Look, I really have to go, okay?
25:45 So, um, okay, bye.
25:47 Oh, okay, bye.
25:50 Since then, Joe decided to change and improve his appearance
25:59 because he was too ashamed of the bad things that Bryant did to him.
26:03 Joe promised himself that he will not allow him to serve,
26:09 to make him small, and to be a burden to his own family, whether it's in school or in his own family.
26:14 I'm leaving.
26:16 Oh, are you playing basketball?
26:17 Yes.
26:18 It's good that you have someone to take care of you.
26:20 Bye.
26:21 Okay, be good.
26:22 Bye.
26:24 Marie Vinn, you started again.
26:27 When will you stop liking basketball?
26:29 It seems like you're getting more and more out of it.
26:31 I agreed to let her play varsity,
26:34 and I will also tell her that she should leave this house more often.
26:39 Okay, baby, let's go.
26:41 Okay.
26:42 Okay, be good to your son.
26:44 Look at daddy, he's so grumpy, right?
26:48 No.

27:43 Because of this, he had a lot of friends and became a star.

28:22 Joni, you have a visitor.
28:37 Thanks.
28:48 Please, sit down.
28:50 Hi, um, look, I'm really, really sorry for just dropping by unannounced.
28:56 You may not know who I am, but anyway, my name is Bryant,
29:01 and actually, we go to the same school.
29:03 Are you serious?
29:05 Am I really that ugly before?
29:08 I'm sorry, ugly? What do you mean ugly?
29:11 Bryant, we go to the same class in seventh grade,
29:15 and you actually sit right next to me. You used to copy off me.
29:18 You're kidding. We've been going to the same class in seventh grade.
29:21 That's right. You probably didn't notice me because I was kind of chubby,
29:25 with thick eyeglasses, zit on my face, braces, dress kind of funky.
29:30 In short, I was really ugly.
29:32 You were ugly? You're kidding me, right?
29:37 No, I'm not, and you're right here at my house,
29:40 swallowing your pride just because I look different.
29:44 Bryant, I'm sorry. I don't go for guys like that.
29:47 You may go now.
29:48 Thanks anyway though.
29:50 Aside from the change in the way Joan looks,
29:55 her perspective on her personality also changed
29:58 because she gained self-confidence and love for herself.
30:02 But that didn't end the trials in her life.
30:07 Joan received a bad news from the Philippines.
30:12 Her mother was imprisoned for using illegal drugs.
30:17 Even though she always hurts me, I still feel sorry for my mom.
30:23 I feel sorry for her, but I can't do anything.
30:28 You're a good girl.
30:31 You still love your mom, even though she's already done that to you.
30:36 I love her so much.
30:41 I know that when she comes back, she can really tell me how she feels.
30:46 She can only say that because she's under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
30:54 Pat.
31:03 No.
31:04 No.
31:06 Pat.
31:07 No.
31:10 No.
31:11 No.
31:12 Pat.
31:13 No.
31:14 No.
31:15 Call 911, Joan.
31:17 Hello?
31:22 911?
31:24 Yes, my grandfather is having a heart attack.
31:26 We're here at number 79, Mayverly Street.
31:28 Please come fast.
31:30 Joan's grandfather forbade her to go beyond her feelings.
31:34 They immediately flew to the Philippines, where Joan found her mother.
31:40 After being released from your mother's prison, your grandfather, Ricardo, even answered their questions.
31:45 It's been months since your mother left your grandfather's power.
31:50 And your mother really doesn't want to come back.
31:54 Is it pride?
31:55 Here?
32:00 She lives here.
32:02 Yes, there she is.
32:04 She lives here?
32:05 Yes, there she is.
32:07 I'll take her.

33:48 even though a lot has happened,
33:52 I don't need you anymore.
33:58 You're so beautiful.
34:04 [♪♪♪]
34:06 Ma, let's go home to your grandfather.
34:20 I don't want to.
34:22 I don't want to go there.
34:25 Ma, let's go home. Look at yourself.
34:28 If your grandfather doesn't treat you well, it will be good for you.
34:32 There.
34:33 Let's go home, Ma.
34:36 Let's go home.
34:40 Please.
34:41 Please.
34:44 For me, Ma, let's go home.

35:08 John succeeded in convincing his mother and grandfather, Ricardo.
35:15 That same night, Rowena returned to her father's house in Laguna.
35:21 Meanwhile, a talent agent noticed John's beauty.
35:25 He invited her to audition for a movie.
35:29 This is where his showbiz career began.
35:32 He was introduced to the screen name JC Parker.
35:37 At the same time, he met a famous dancer-actor who would be his lover.
35:45 [♪♪♪]
35:47 Cut!
36:00 [applause]
36:01 John, take a break.
36:03 Say cut!

36:40 Joan also appeared in various print ads and became the emcee of a famous bar.
37:00 There, there, there. It's almost here.
37:06 That's a lot of hair.
37:08 Isn't the clock in your house a trend?
37:12 Why are you guys still awake?
37:15 Ever since you got on a boat and came back from America, you've been waking up early.
37:21 But I'm working.
37:23 At night?
37:25 Your grandmother is not absent from the Philippines.
37:28 You can't be disciplined.
37:30 You live with us, that's why we're taking care of you.
37:34 You told me to wait for you to come home.
37:36 I'm old enough to take care of myself.
37:39 I'm old enough to go home.
37:41 In fact, I'm old enough to live by myself.
37:44 What do you want to show?
37:46 Go ahead, hit us.
37:47 You're having a hard time with me, right?
37:49 Well, then I'm leaving.
37:51 I'll make it easier for you guys.
37:53 Stop treating me like a kid.
37:55 I'm not a kid.
37:56 Meanwhile, Danilo's mother, Joan, was kidnapped.
38:00 They were always together.
38:04 Come here, Iha.
38:05 Put your luggage there.
38:08 Thank you.
38:10 I'm sorry, Iha.
38:14 I'll give you a small room.
38:16 Really?
38:18 I should be the one to apologize to you.
38:21 Why?
38:22 Because if my relatives don't mind, I won't disturb you.
38:27 You know that I'm like your daughter.
38:30 And I'd like it more if you come here than to stay with me.
38:36 Iha, aren't you regretting and leaving?
38:41 I wanted this, so I'm giving it to you.
38:46 Even if it means that I have to work more to earn more.
38:50 But your grandmother might be worried if you're not with your relatives.
38:57 Especially if you haven't told her where you're going.
39:02 Meanwhile, Joan's career was slowly fading away.
39:09 Until...
39:11 [music]
39:27 So, where do we go from here?
39:31 What are you planning?
39:37 It looks like it's not working out.
39:41 So?
39:49 Because if we continue this relationship, there will still be disagreements.
39:59 So it's better...
40:03 It's better to break up.
40:06 [music]
40:09 I don't know what I'm going to do with you.
40:12 [music]
40:34 Imagine, sis.
40:36 I've been on a pancit canton diet for two weeks.
40:39 Maybe even if I don't go to the gym, I'll still be fat.
40:42 Perfect timing, right?
40:45 I don't have gas, I don't have a gym.
40:49 I don't have any other food to buy other than this freaking pancit canton.
40:54 How pathetic.
40:56 I don't know why we're still together.
41:02 Isn't it enough that Dan and I are already separated?
41:05 I don't have a job anymore.
41:08 I don't have a racket.
41:10 I even quit my job at the mosque.
41:12 And to mention, I haven't paid my rent yet.
41:17 I'm so brave to pay my rent.
41:21 I can't afford to pay it.
41:23 I don't have money anymore.
41:26 I don't have money anymore.
41:29 I just can't afford to pay it.
41:32 Don't be nervous.
41:34 Just relax.
41:36 You know, everything's going to be okay.
41:39 Huh?
41:41 [phone ringing]
41:49 Here, answer this.
41:52 A no number.
41:53 Who knows, it might be a racket.
41:58 Hello?
41:59 Yes, this is Tracy.
42:02 Hello?
42:07 Sis, are you okay?
42:18 Someone's calling you.
42:20 I don't know if it's true.
42:22 [music]
42:24 [gasp]
42:25 I'm so tired.

44:15 This is all my fault, mom.
44:20 I'm sorry.
44:24 I'm really stubborn and proud.
44:29 I'm sorry, mom.
44:31 Shh.
44:33 Don't blame yourself.
44:37 I'm alive.
44:42 And you're here.
44:44 That's what's important.
44:47 I love you, mom.
44:58 In 2002,
45:04 when people started to know John,
45:07 he was finally named a member of Viva Hot Babes.
45:13 Everything was fine for John.
45:16 His mother was able to start a new life.
45:19 He was also able to start a business in Laguna.
45:23 Until...
45:24 John, do you want to go shopping?
45:27 We'll go after this.
45:28 Okay, but don't you feel blessed?
45:31 Before, you didn't have many projects.
45:33 Rockets.
45:34 But now, your schedule is so hectic.
45:36 Of course.
45:37 I mean, look, my grandma is undergoing therapy.
45:41 My dad is on the phone call away.
45:43 My mom stopped using drugs.
45:45 Rehabilitation is okay.
45:46 So, what else could I ask for?
45:49 Hey.
45:50 Hey, ma'am.
45:52 Ma'am!
45:53 How are you?
45:55 How are you?
45:56 I'm fine.
45:57 You look better now.
46:00 Thank you.
46:01 I'm really, really proud of you.
46:03 And I always see you on TV.
46:05 Thank you, ma'am.
46:06 This is Jen.
46:07 Hello, ma'am.
46:08 Hello.
46:09 I'm with Dan.
46:10 Here.
46:12 Ma'am, we haven't talked in two years or one year.
46:18 I'm proud of you.
46:19 I'm proud of you.
46:20 You two are like a bunch of losers.
46:23 You should pay attention.
46:25 It's been a long time.
46:27 You should pay attention.
46:30 Just listen to me.
46:32 The former couple didn't expect that to happen.
46:36 But they made it happen.
46:39 Wait, wait, wait.
46:42 I have a question.
46:43 We've been going out every day.
46:45 Is there no one there?
46:47 Are you nervous?
46:50 Yes, Jen.
46:53 We're going out.
46:55 Out.
46:56 I thought it's a good idea.
46:59 You and me together.
47:02 Are you sure?
47:05 What if it's just one person?
47:08 Yes, one person.
47:10 That's right.
47:11 No.
47:12 It's over.
47:14 You know that.
47:15 There's an issue.
47:16 But it's okay.
47:18 What do you think?
47:21 Should we ask the girl?
47:23 I'm the proof.
47:26 I'm the proof.
47:27 You're the proof.
47:28 She's a proof.
47:31 I miss Angela.
47:34 Call her.
47:35 Maybe she's important.
47:36 Okay.
47:38 Hello.
47:44 Sis, I'm here at the restaurant with Jen and her cousins.
47:49 Why?
47:50 What?
47:53 [dramatic music]
47:57 How did that happen?
47:58 Okay.
48:03 Why?
48:06 Mama was arrested again.
48:12 What?
48:13 She's in jail again.
48:15 [dramatic music]
48:30 We have a long trip ahead.
48:39 You should rest.
48:40 I thought I was tough.
48:44 But now what happened to Mama,
48:46 I don't know what to do.
48:49 I can't always be strong.
48:53 I'm scared, Jen.
48:57 I'm weakening.
48:59 But I can't give up.
49:03 I can't give up for Mama.
49:08 No, Jen.
49:13 I won't give up.
49:14 I'm just here.
49:17 I won't let you go.
49:20 I won't let your Mama go.
49:23 Joan and Danilo have arrived at Laguna City Jail.
49:30 That's how much Joan has been waiting for her mother to be released from jail.
49:38 [dramatic music]
49:44 [sighs]
49:45 What happened?
49:53 They raided the house.
49:55 They raided everything.
49:57 They were looking for drugs in my things.
50:01 I don't want this anymore.
50:06 I don't want to be jailed.
50:07 You know I want a new life, right?
50:11 I hope they give me a chance to have a new life.
50:16 I don't want to be jailed.
50:18 Don't worry, don't worry.
50:20 I promise I'll get you out of here.
50:23 I'll do everything.
50:25 I won't stop.
50:27 I promise.
50:28 I'm so thankful to you.
50:33 I hope you know how much I love you.
50:37 Forgive me for my shortcomings.
50:43 That's enough.
50:45 That's enough.
50:47 I haven't asked for forgiveness yet.
50:50 Forgive me, my child.
50:53 I wasn't good enough for you.
50:57 But I want to change.
51:01 I think I'll die here.
51:03 How can I get revenge on you two?
51:08 No, Ma.
51:11 You won't die here.
51:14 I'll get you out of here and you'll have a new life.
51:19 That's why I'm doing this for you.
51:24 That's why I'm doing all of this.
51:28 You told me, "I love you so much."
51:34 I love you so much, Ma.
51:37 Forever.
51:40 I love you so much, Ma.
51:42 Forever.
51:45 Casey, your life is so sad.
52:03 It's good that you're beautiful.
52:05 Thank God.
52:07 I know you're beautiful.
52:09 I look like my mom.
52:11 You're beautiful because you look like your mom.
52:15 Yes, my dad likes me.
52:17 In your story, you grew up with your mom.
52:22 You see her using her mom.
52:25 What was the effect of that?
52:27 It was an inspiration for me to work hard in my life.
52:34 I don't want to repeat what happened to my mom and dad.
52:39 I don't want to grow up like that.
52:44 I don't want my children to go through what I went through.
52:50 What was the hardest thing you went through?
52:54 I grew up without a parent.
52:56 I had to move house.
52:58 When I had a family, my husband and I lived in one house.
53:04 We were a big family.
53:06 But you didn't grow up with your grandmother.
53:10 Yes.
53:11 So, isn't it the same?
53:12 It's the same, but your mom and dad are still there.
53:17 You still have your mom and dad by your side.
53:21 Is this what you can say that parents should learn?
53:27 I hope parents see how hard it is for a child to lose their parents.
53:34 How to grow up without proper advice.
53:41 Direction.
53:42 You don't guide your parents.
53:45 But your aunt and uncle are still there.
53:49 Yes, but my mom is in prison.
53:51 My dad is in America.
53:53 It's a different feeling.
53:55 I still wish that my family wouldn't be destroyed.
53:59 My mom wouldn't be in prison.
54:01 But despite that, do you still love your mom and dad?
54:08 Even if it's like that.
54:10 I know that my family won't be able to be together.
54:12 But at least, the time will come.
54:14 Like now, I'm okay with my mom and dad.
54:18 I can go to them anytime.
54:22 How does it feel to be in that situation?
54:25 It hurts.
54:26 Especially during Christmas and New Year.
54:29 My mom is not there.
54:31 I have siblings in Laguna.
54:34 They were not used to going to the barbershop.
54:37 Now, they go to the barbershop because my mom is in prison.
54:40 Now, when your mom comes out,
54:42 does she change you?
54:45 Maybe not.
54:47 I already showed my mom how much I love her.
54:50 How?
54:52 I didn't leave her.
54:53 I didn't embarrass her.
54:54 I didn't neglect her.
54:56 Do you visit her often?
54:57 Not often.
54:59 I usually go out of town and work.
55:02 I give her whatever I have.
55:04 You promised her all of that.
55:06 If I can, why not?
55:07 How is Danilo?
55:09 He's happy.
55:11 I'm thankful to him.
55:13 If I'm not there, he's there to help me.
55:15 Do you think he's the one?
55:18 I hope so.
55:19 What age do you want him to be?
55:22 I want him to be 26 or 27.
55:24 I'm only 20.
55:26 JC, what if your parents, your mom, your dad, and your grandma
55:31 are watching this?
55:33 Give them a message.
55:36 My mom, you know that I love you.
55:40 Hang on there.
55:43 You're almost out.
55:45 You said you want to give up.
55:47 Don't give up.
55:49 I have two siblings who are depending on you.
55:52 To my dad,
55:54 thank you for everything.
55:56 For your help and understanding.
55:58 Thanks for everything.
55:59 For giving me all that I need.
56:03 And to my grandma,
56:04 for raising me.
56:06 Thank you for everything you gave me.
56:09 For the love you gave me
56:11 that my mom and dad didn't give me before.
56:16 All their shortcomings,
56:18 they gave me.
56:19 All their shortcomings,
56:20 my mom and dad.
56:22 Thank you so much for raising me.
56:25 Thank you.
56:27 JC, I think you'll learn from your story
56:30 that even if it happened,
56:32 you didn't have bitterness in your heart for your parents.
56:37 One thing I learned,
56:39 no matter what happens,
56:40 your family will always be your family.
56:43 JC, we wish you all the luck.
56:44 Thank you.
56:45 In your career,
56:46 in your life.
56:47 And thank you so much
56:48 for allowing us to use your life
56:52 for the sake of the family.
56:53 I want to thank GMA7,
56:56 for you,
56:57 for the family.
56:58 To the staff of the family,
57:00 thank you.
57:01 They are so kind while taping.
57:04 To my parents,
57:05 to my grandma,
57:07 to Dan,
57:08 thank you for everything.
57:12 Despite the mistakes of his parents,
57:15 Joe was able to forgive and forget
57:18 what he was carrying in his heart.
57:21 Because he knows that despite the success he is facing,
57:25 wherever he may go,
57:27 he will always have his home.
57:30 And this is with his most beloved family.
57:35 I am Mel Tianko,
57:38 and this is the story of each one of us.
57:41 Now, tomorrow, and forever.

57:54 Handang dumamay
57:57 Sa iyong lulo
58:02 Abang buhay ay
58:05 Hindi, hindi maglalaho
58:10 Ang inig natin ay
58:13 Awitin ko
