Video ng isang bride mula Lantapan, Bukidnon na nakasimangot umano habang kinakasal, viral online!
Ang babae, pinakasal daw kasi sa lalaking 23 taon ang tanda o halos doble ng kanyang edad! Parusa raw kasi ito sa pakikipagrelasyon ng bride sa isang foreigner.
Ang bride at groom, magsasalita na!
Ano nga ba ang katotohanan sa kanilang kasalan?

00:03 Bride and groom in the field.
00:05 Intrigued by their marriage,
00:11 they gossiped.
00:13 Set up?
00:14 What's the truth behind their unification?
00:18 [dramatic music]
00:19 It's her wedding day and she doesn't want to be there.
00:22 [dramatic music]
00:23 This video was posted online on Facebook.
00:27 The bride is obviously upset while getting married.
00:33 She was forced to be separated from her unloved husband.
00:39 The poor teenager can't even smile.
00:42 Because of the alleged marriage,
00:44 the bride's father was punished.
00:47 Because the bride fell in love with a man
00:50 who is against their culture.
00:54 So her father sold his daughter to a dealer
00:58 and married a 23-year-old man,
01:02 almost twice her age.
01:05 [dramatic music]
01:07 The ritual and ceremony of their unification
01:10 was witnessed by the whole country.
01:13 The girl had to say goodbye to her freedom forever.
01:16 [dramatic music]
01:17 At the end of the video,
01:19 it was said that these events
01:21 will be a disaster for the faraway countries
01:24 that are concerned about the privacy of women.
01:28 [dramatic music]
01:29 The reason for this was received by the Batikos
01:32 from those who watched the video.
01:34 This poor young girl being sold into a life of slavery
01:38 and never-ending misery.
01:40 That's messed up.
01:41 That's not a good punishment.
01:43 Parents should be ashamed.
01:45 The older man is ashamed and disgusted for agreeing
01:48 to marry her as a punishment
01:49 for falling in love with someone
01:51 other than who's allowed in her cultural traditions.
01:54 [dramatic music]
01:55 This marriage was held here in the Philippines
01:59 and the bride is a Filipino.
02:02 [dramatic music]
02:05 Until we received a message in our inbox
02:09 asking for help.
02:11 The bride in the video is a sister.
02:14 To find out what really happened in the marriage,
02:18 our team went to Barangay Sonko
02:21 in the town of Lantapan in Bukidnon
02:24 where the bride and groom live in the viral video.
02:28 They are members of the Talaandig tribe.
02:31 [dramatic music]
02:35 But before our team could enter their community,
02:40 [indistinct chatter]
02:42 they performed a ritual
02:44 in accordance with their beliefs.
02:47 [drum music]
02:59 Later on,
03:00 our team met the bride and groom
03:03 in a controversial video.
03:05 [dramatic music]
03:07 They were called Rumalia and Reiji.
03:09 [dramatic music]
03:10 The ceremony was performed when they got married
03:13 in accordance with the traditional wedding ritual
03:16 that is called Kaamulan Asawahay.
03:19 The life of a married woman is different when you're still a woman.
03:22 Because now, you have a lot of things to remember,
03:25 like work, children,
03:26 and when everyone is at home.
03:29 There are times when I'm really tired.
03:31 I hope I don't rush.
03:33 When the video was leaked,
03:35 they became the subject of discussions in the whole town.
03:39 I was embarrassed to go out because our neighbors
03:43 were always asking questions.
03:46 "Is this true or not?"
03:47 I was so sad because people were judgmental.
03:51 They commented.
03:53 I'd run away rather than be held prisoner against my will.
03:56 It's basically abuse and practical rape.
03:58 She should have run away with a foreigner.
04:00 I'm sorry, but that shouldn't be allowed.
04:02 When I saw this video,
04:04 I was always sleepy because
04:06 anything could come out of their mouth.
04:08 But they didn't know that it was very painful for us
04:10 because we were the ones who saw it.
04:12 It became a myth that the husband and wife were fighting.
04:16 Especially Mr. Reggie,
04:18 who was in doubt if his wife, Romalia, was forced to marry him.
04:24 He was also angry with me
04:33 because he was convinced in that video that our marriage was not true.
04:39 I was just wearing plastic.
04:42 I was so angry.
04:46 I just believed it.
04:49 It was just a look.
04:50 It was just a look.
04:51 I thought that we would just separate.
04:54 But many said in the video that it was a lie.
04:59 We were interviewed to clear our names.
05:05 First of all, this video was taken in 2019.
05:09 When did they get married?
05:11 They have been married for 5 years now.
05:14 Their son has been single for 4 years.
05:17 We love our son so much.
05:19 When he fights, when the child smiles,
05:22 he also gets angry.
05:24 Reggie was already married at first
05:27 before he married Romalia.
05:29 It was a good thing that he accepted their tribe.
05:32 Their age gap is really big.
05:35 But,
05:36 It's not true that we are 23 years old.
05:40 We have been separated for 10 years.
05:42 Above all, Romalia was not really forced by her father.
05:48 That's why Reggie married her.
05:50 Let's ask Romalia's father himself.
05:55 It's not true.
05:57 She was happy when she was young.
05:58 She was happy when her mother was on vacation.
06:00 She was happy when she was single.
06:03 She was happy when she was alone.
06:06 There is nothing wrong with our tribe.
06:10 The fight against foreigners is not true.
06:12 It is not allowed to marry outside.
06:17 It's been a long time.
06:18 That's why this is a mixed community.
06:21 There are people from different places.
06:24 In fact, before Romalia and Reggie got married,
06:28 they were lovers for a year.
06:31 The man who was courting our daughter is not a real arranged marriage.
06:35 But why was Romalia angry on the day of their wedding?
06:42 That day, my mother was covered with high blood.
06:47 I was really worried.
06:49 It is also prohibited to smile because it is part of the ritual of their wedding.
06:56 You should be able to focus.
06:58 I was worried because of her face.
07:00 I thought that she has a long face and she is quiet and shy.
07:05 They also suspected that Suhol took the money.
07:11 They said that it was an offering that is part of their culture.
07:15 I didn't pay anything.
07:17 I am not her father.
07:18 I am not her father because she is my daughter-in-law.
07:23 I was the one who got married, but I didn't get married and my mother was buried.
07:29 I was really angry when I watched the video that they made on us.
07:34 It's not funny and you can't do anything.
07:37 I thought of KMJS because I know that they have the capacity to help.
07:42 I hope that she will be consensual and delete those videos.
07:46 I hope that she will also detect who she is because what she did is shameful.
07:51 The big question now is,
07:53 who spread this fake news?
07:58 The wedding was around April.
08:01 I think there were no foreigners at that time.
08:04 Most likely, there were many foreigners visiting here.
08:07 But they went in October because our community is open for IP Man celebration.
08:12 It is included in Republic Act 10175 or Cyber Crime Prevention Act of 2012.
08:20 The punishment of ordinary libel is prison correctional, 6 months to 6 years.
08:26 Elevate the prison major 6 years and 1 week to 12 years if you did that through the social media.
08:33 1.2 million maximum fine under the new law.
08:37 Aside from the fine, you can pay for doing that in the experience of depression.
08:44 Next, we should investigate who is the one who took the video.
08:49 Romalia and Reggie were given the name of the videographer.
08:54 When we got married, a man took a video but we did not know him.
08:59 This is the volunteer who took their wedding.
09:02 Our team contacted him.
09:07 Did he know why the wedding video was posted online?
09:14 Don't ruin the life of other people to earn money.
09:20 It is not funny.
09:21 His reaction?
09:23 The videographer said that...
09:25 On our way back.
09:29 Hot topic of Marites Online.
09:33 The marriage in Lantapan, Bukidnon.
09:36 It was punished by the bride because she loved a foreigner.
09:40 That's why she was forced to marry a man she did not love.
09:45 But the bride and groom in the video, Romalia and Reggie, were fooled by all the intrigues and tricks.
09:54 They were victims of fake news.
09:57 The fight with the foreigner was not real.
09:59 I am not the father.
10:00 Our husband is the one who did that.
10:02 We did not pay anything.
10:04 In our team's investigation, the only one who knows the bride's brother, Lizel, is the videographer of the wedding.
10:12 When we got married, a man took a video but we did not know him.
10:17 It was a coincidence that he was in this place.
10:20 That's why he presented the wedding gift for free.
10:24 We got the number of the videographer.
10:29 But he refused to be interviewed.
10:32 According to Lizel, in their first conversation with the videographer,
10:39 he explained that he had nothing to do with the leaked video.
10:43 He said that his laptop was stolen in 2020.
10:47 Where the materials he got were saved.
10:50 I think it's possible that the one who stole the laptop is the one who took the video.
10:56 But one of the things that the bride's family is responsible for is that they have many more people who believed in the content of the viral video.
11:04 Especially, there are other pages that have uploaded it.
11:08 The aggrieved party may file a complaint before the office of the Cybercrime Division.
11:12 And from there, we can ask Facebook to take down that particular Facebook page,
11:16 subject of course to the platform's community guidelines.
11:20 We also tried to contact the pages that uploaded the video.
11:25 But we still haven't gotten any response.
11:28 Fake news has many effects on people or on half of the society.
11:33 But one of the concrete effects that we can see is when a person's narrative or identity is misrepresented.
11:42 This kind of activities are monetized or profitable.
11:47 There are also features, platforms where we are given the opportunity to report this kind of information.
11:55 The couple's conversation, because it does not correspond to their page that posted the video,
12:01 is asking for help from the viewers who are together to report the video to Facebook to take it down or remove it.
12:13 I just want to delete it or remove it because it may be affected by others.
12:23 The person who made the video, if he wants money, he should look for a decent job.
12:28 He should not destroy the lives of others.
12:31 It's up to the many pages that share or post online.
12:39 And they post things that are not true.
12:43 It's her wedding day and she doesn't want to be there.
12:46 In every comment and post, remember that there are real people who can help you.
12:56 People who can be destroyed just because of fake stories.
