00:00I remember when I was a kid, I was different.
00:05I was so innocent.
00:08I just closed my eyes and when I opened them, I was here.
00:30I remember when I was a kid.
01:01The most beautiful moment of my life
01:14At the age of 16, she became a mother and was locked in the world of prostitution.
01:22She worked as a new GRO for many years, until she became a mother-son.
01:28She experienced how it is to be a mother to other women who are not her blood.
01:35But how will you face being a mother to your real child,
01:41who is the fruit of your virginity?
01:45My dears, let's listen together to the story of Maria Marcelina Shine Mariquit.
01:57Who is that boy?
01:59Ma'am, he's my son.
02:02Son?
02:04What are you saying?
02:06I told you that I will get you a helper.
02:08I didn't say that I will take care of your whole family.
02:11Ma'am, please. Inday is a good person.
02:16I really can't leave my son.
02:19I don't want to. I won't allow it.
02:21Ma'am, please.
02:23I won't allow it.
02:24I just need you.
02:26What's going on?
02:30Well, our supposedly new maid brought her daughter with her.
02:35And I don't like the idea.
02:37Why not? He seems to be a nice girl.
02:40Besides, we do need help around here.
02:43Rick.
02:45Just take them. You know that's the Christian thing to do.
02:47Thank you.
02:52Thank you for being so kind to my husband.
02:55Because if it's just me, I won't take you.
03:03Because of the hardship of life,
03:06Shine was forced to join as a helper with her mother, Melchora,
03:11in a wealthy family in Olongapo.
03:18Oh, what are you doing?
03:21You look tired, Ma'am. I'll help you.
03:25No, I can do this.
03:31You know, my child,
03:33I'm doing everything I can for you.
03:40I don't want you to be like me.
03:42I don't want you to be like me.
03:45A loser.
03:48I want your life to be different.
03:53Mom, that's enough.
03:55It's okay.
03:57I'll save up.
03:59And when I go to school, I want to go back to school.
04:03I want that too, Mom.
04:05It's a waste.
04:07And I was stopped.
04:09You know, Mom,
04:11I want to be a doctor.
04:14I want to be important.
04:17I want to help others.
04:20So that I can read comics.
04:24You can do that too.
04:26Don't worry.
04:28I know it will come true, Chan.
04:31Especially now, our boss seems nice, right?
04:35It seems like he won't leave us.
04:38That's right.
04:40Shai was taught by her teachers.
04:43She was so happy and excited
04:46when she was sent to her school.
04:49Even though she is serving as an assistant,
04:52her hope is still alive
04:54to finish her studies.
04:56But just a few months later,
04:59her hope will be replaced by fear.
05:39Fear.
05:57Fear.
05:59Be quiet.
06:02Quiet.
06:08Shai.
06:10Shai.
06:12Shai.
06:14Shai.
06:39Shai.
06:50You're a beast.
06:52I'll kill you.
06:54You better be quiet about this.
06:56You better not tell anyone.
06:59Because if you do,
07:01I'm gonna kill you.
07:03I'm gonna kill you and your mother.
07:05Do you understand?
07:09Do you understand?
07:24Because of his fear,
07:26Shai told his mother
07:28what his boss, Rick, did to him.
07:32But there are incidents
07:34that can't be hidden.
07:36Especially
07:38when it comes to fruit.
07:41It looks like you're enjoying what you're eating.
07:45Aren't you getting tired of it?
07:47I've been seeing you for a few days.
07:50That's all you want to eat.
07:52Just eat it.
07:54It's delicious.
07:57Son,
07:59Son,
08:01are you hiding something from me?
08:05For the past few weeks,
08:07you've been moving around.
08:11Are you hiding something from me?
08:14Yes.
08:16Are you sure?
08:29Are you pregnant?
08:33Are you pregnant?
08:37Answer me!
08:39Are you pregnant?
08:45What happened here?
08:50You don't leave this house.
08:54You don't know anyone here.
08:57You don't know anyone here.
09:00Who is he?
09:04Our boss.
09:08Is it him?
09:11He raped me, Mom.
09:15He forced me to do it.
09:19I didn't tell you because he was afraid of me.
09:21He was afraid of me.
09:25He said he would kill us.
09:28That's why
09:31that's why I didn't tell you.
09:36It's true.
09:37It's true.
09:50Look at what you've done.
09:53Maybe it's not good for you yet.
09:55I'll just repeat it.
09:57That's not important.
09:59Don't understand that.
10:01What's important is that we talk about what you were telling me earlier.
10:03Your son wasted his life when he was your boss.
10:07After that, you have nothing to do.
10:09Right, Melchora?
10:12It's just hard for us, Elisa.
10:14You know,
10:16those who are poor like us,
10:19there's no match for those like them.
10:22That's not true.
10:24Everyone is equal when it comes to the law.
10:28No one is rich.
10:29No one is poor.
10:31Fight, Melchora.
10:33Defend your son.
10:36There are so many ways.
10:39Make a demand.
10:46Han, hurry up.
10:48We'll be late for the church.
10:50Yeah, Han. Just a sec.
10:51Just a sec.
11:03Make sure you clean the bathroom.
11:05Understand?
11:22It's okay.
11:24I cleaned their room and bathroom.
11:28But, Mom,
11:31every time I see him,
11:34I look down on myself.
11:39I don't want to leave him, Mom.
11:42I don't want to leave him.
11:44I don't want to leave him.
11:46I don't want to leave him.
11:48I don't want to leave him.
11:49I don't want to, Mom.
11:51Let's leave this place.
11:53If it's possible,
11:55but where will we go?
11:58Anywhere, Mom.
12:00Even if we live on the streets,
12:03let's not stay here in this house.
12:06I'll just save money,
12:08then we'll leave this place.
12:11Why is this happening to me?
12:17I have so many dreams.
12:20Now, none of them will come true.
12:25Why did he do this to me?
12:32I'm ashamed of myself.
12:35He chased me away, Mom.
12:41Because of a friend's advice,
12:43the mother and mother-in-law decided to report to the police
12:46and file a complaint against Rick for assaulting Shine.
12:50Hon, we must be at church by nine.
12:53Hurry, I don't want to be late for mass.
12:57Okay, I'm done.
13:05Yes?
13:07Mr. Rick Mercado?
13:09Sir, you're under arrest for the rape of Maria Marcelina Mariquit.
13:13What?
13:15Are you an animal?
13:17Wait, what's going on here?
13:20What did you say?
13:22Let go of my husband!
13:33Hey, let's sing together!
13:36Do we need a commemoration?
13:40Should we participate?
13:43Oops!
13:45It's just a joke.
13:47Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
13:53I'm going to leave you.
13:55Okay.
13:57Ma'am?
13:59I'll leave you here.
14:14Why, Mom?
14:18I'm afraid.
14:22I'm afraid of our future.
14:27I'm afraid of the case.
14:31We have a rich future ahead of us.
14:35I'm afraid of our future.
14:37I'm afraid of our future.
14:39I'm afraid of our future.
14:40We're rich.
14:44Why are we struggling?
14:47We don't have money.
14:51We don't have food.
14:54If it wasn't for the kindness of others,
15:00we wouldn't have been able to survive.
15:05Mom, don't lose hope.
15:11We're right.
15:13I know we can overcome this.
15:17We can get justice.
15:21Meanwhile, Melchora and Shine are staying at Elisa's
15:25while their case is being investigated.
15:28They clearly expect
15:30that their situation will get worse.
15:34Sign this.
15:41Sign this.
15:54Here's the money.
15:59Melchora, you did the right thing.
16:04I'll go ahead.
16:10Okay.
16:30Why is Ma'am Vicky here?
16:35Why did she give you the money?
16:37I've already settled the case, Inday.
16:40We won't fight anymore.
16:42Why, Ma'am?
16:44Is it because of that little money?
16:46Are you going to sell what we fought for?
16:50It's not because of the money,
16:53but because we're small.
16:56They can step on us whenever they want.
16:59We'll fight, Ma'am.
17:02Give me that money.
17:03We're just poor.
17:06What can we do to them?
17:09The fight has just begun and we're already losing.
17:12It's better if we get something now
17:16instead of losing everything.
17:19We need this money.
17:22We'll use this for your child.
17:25For your future child.
17:26Inday!
17:28The case against Rick was closed
17:31after Melchora settled it.
17:34Since then,
17:36Shine has been cursing her bitter experience.
17:40She was not only angry at Rick
17:43for not being good to her mother,
17:47but she also feels that she has no one to support her.
17:51She feels that she has no one to rely on.
17:53She feels that she has no one to rely on.
17:56Until she gave birth to a baby
17:59that became a source of hope for her.
18:02Rick!
18:04Come here!
18:06Rick!
18:08Come here!
18:10Come here!
18:12Your son is a man!
18:14Look at your son!
18:16He's so handsome!
18:18Shine's attitude towards her son, Simeon, became cold.
18:24Even so,
18:26Shine still hopes that Simeon will grow up well
18:30so that she will be able to find a job.
18:48Why are you looking at me like that?
18:50Don't tell me that you're going to apply.
18:53Is there a vacancy?
18:55How old are you?
18:58I'm 18.
19:01You look kind.
19:05Clean.
19:07There's no place like you here.
19:09You might not be able to work here.
19:12I can do it. I can do it.
19:17Shine was forced to work as a GRO.
19:21Over the years,
19:23Shine's love for her son still remains.
19:28Until...
19:44Let's sing together!
19:47Do we still need a commemoration?
19:51Do we still need to think about it?
19:54Oops!
19:56I'm just kidding!
19:58I'm just kidding!
20:08It's good that the police allowed you to leave the precinct.
20:14Mom, I know those people.
20:17They just want to be pampered.
20:20Why don't you just leave that job?
20:24You have a lot of jobs that you can do.
20:27You don't have to sell your body.
20:31Mom, let's talk about this.
20:35Mom, look at what I did.
20:39I did this.
20:41I'm tired.
20:45Mom!
20:47Mom!
20:53Don't pay attention to your mom.
20:56She's just tired.
20:58Grandma, why doesn't my mom love me?
21:01What are you talking about?
21:03Of course, your mom loves you.
21:05It's not true that my mom doesn't love me.
21:09Unlike my classmates.
21:12One day,
21:14you'll see that your mom will love you too.
21:17Do you know why?
21:19Why?
21:21Because,
21:23no mother doesn't love her child.
21:26I'll wait, grandma.
21:28I'll wait until one day,
21:31my mom will love me.
21:35Shine worked hard at her job.
21:38That's why she lost time with her child.
21:41Until time passed.
21:43That's why,
21:45Shine is more talented.
21:54You're good.
21:56Your dance is good.
21:58Shine, I know someone.
22:00He needs a mom.
22:02I recommend you.
22:04Really?
22:05Yes, he knows you.
22:07He saw you dancing.
22:09He likes you.
22:11Your dance is good.
22:12But, there's a problem.
22:14Your house is far away.
22:16You should live there.
22:18What do you want?
22:22I made a decision.
22:25I won't change my mind.
22:32Simeon, where did you come from?
22:34I played basketball.
22:36You know that your mom left.
22:38Say goodbye to her.
22:40I have something to do.
22:43Sigh.
22:46I'm nervous.
22:48Your son's love for you is fading.
22:51Let him be, mom.
22:53You're thinking too much.
22:56I hope you won't blame him for what happened to you.
23:01It's not his fault.
23:03Okay, mom. I'll be late.
23:05Why are you in a hurry?
23:08It's just money.
23:09Simeon!
23:11That's not what your son needs.
23:15He needs a mom.
23:18Maybe, that's the only thing that I can't give him.
23:23Simeon left his mom and son completely
23:27to start working as a mama's son in Angeles.
23:32Enjoy yourselves.
23:33Thank you.
23:39Janice,
23:41why are you crying?
23:43Is there a problem?
23:45Because,
23:48my mom is sick.
23:53I don't have money to send her.
23:59I don't have any money left.
24:03Here, take this.
24:08Oh my!
24:10Thank you so much.
24:15Why?
24:20I can't believe how kind you are.
24:27You know,
24:28you're the only one that I consider as my mom in this house.
24:34Thank you so much.
24:43Of course, you can.
24:45Janice,
24:47he's going to kick you out.
24:49He's a gallant.
24:52In the world of prostitution,
24:54Shine experienced being a mother.
24:56Even though she pushed her children to prostitution,
25:01she felt the love of her children for her.
25:06What happened?
25:08I don't know.
25:10Why didn't you call me?
25:14Janice.
25:16Let me go.
25:18I'm dirty.
25:21Janice, what are you saying?
25:26I thought we were just going to eat.
25:30But he pushed me to prostitution.
25:33I don't know what to do.
25:36He's cheating on me.
25:40He's cheating on me.
25:46Let me go.
25:49I'm dirty.
25:56Let me go.
26:20Let's sing together.
26:22Do we still need a commemoration?
26:26Do we still need to think about it?
26:29Oops!
26:31It's just a joke.
26:33It's just a joke.
26:39Let me go.
26:46Let me go.
26:53Ma'am Shine.
27:03Are you leaving?
27:06I'm going home.
27:08To my mother.
27:10Because she needs me.
27:13And,
27:15I don't want to stay here anymore.
27:18Please forgive me.
27:19Do you know me?
27:21I shouldn't have agreed to let that man go.
27:26It's not your fault.
27:30I don't know what I'm thinking.
27:34I'm working here but,
27:37I can't accept what happened to me.
27:41But I should be protecting you.
27:45I'm the one who pushed you.
27:46Don't blame yourself.
27:50You're the only one who has been kind to me.
27:57I'm the one who's been a good mother to you.
28:02I don't want to do this.
28:07But I need to accept what happened to me.
28:12I need to change myself.
28:14I need to start a new life.
28:32After Janice got her hopes up,
28:35she felt sad and regretful.
28:38She felt that she didn't fully protect her children.
28:44That's why.
28:50I accepted your call.
28:52That's why I came here.
28:54Mom, look around.
28:57It's messy, dirty, and dark.
29:01I remember when I was a kid.
29:03I was different.
29:05I was so innocent.
29:08I just closed my eyes.
29:10When I opened my eyes, I was here.
29:12I don't know how I ended up in this world.
29:17Because until now,
29:19you still haven't gotten rid of your past.
29:22But how can I get rid of my past, Mom?
29:27How can I get rid of a bad dream that I can't get rid of?
29:34How, Mom?
29:38You'll learn to forgive, my child.
29:40To trust you, me, and the whole world.
29:46It's not their fault.
29:48Why should I forgive them?
29:51Because until you don't forgive,
29:55you can't get rid of this world.
29:59My child,
30:02get rid of your past.
30:03Get rid of your past.
30:09Let them love you.
30:13Learn to love.
30:16You'll see.
30:18Everything will be clear.
30:21Your world will be clear.
30:34You?
30:36What are you doing here?
30:40What do you need here?
30:42I want to wake up from the dream that you did something.
30:46What are you talking about?
30:48I know you're not asking for it,
30:51but I'll still give it to you.
30:55I forgive you.
30:56It's not for you,
30:58if not for me.
31:01Shai turned his back on everything,
31:04his job,
31:06and his dark past.
31:08He tried to correct all of his mistakes
31:12in his new life.
31:15Simeon,
31:17I'm sorry.
31:19I'm sorry.
31:21I'm sorry.
31:23I'm sorry.
31:24Simeon,
31:26it's good that you're here.
31:28Let's eat.
31:30I'll cook.
31:32Okay.
31:33I'm not hungry.
31:35Simeon, wait.
31:44I know I lack a lot,
31:48and I can't blame you if you're like me.
31:55But I hope that everything won't be the same.
32:04I won't be able to go back to the past.
32:09But I promise, I'll make it up to you.
32:13But if you'll allow me,
32:16I want to be a good mother to you.
32:24Bye.
32:55Mom,
32:57do you know that I have an honor?
32:59Really?
33:00Yes.
33:01My son is so good.
33:05Mama Shine!
33:08Janice!
33:10It's really you!
33:12I barely recognized you.
33:14Me too.
33:16I was wondering if you're close.
33:19Because you look different now.
33:22Yes.
33:25How are you?
33:27This is Ms. Lady,
33:29and I have a husband.
33:31My son will be two soon.
33:34Really?
33:36Sometimes, I wonder
33:38how I got away from my past life.
33:42Because if I think about it,
33:44it's impossible.
33:47But it's possible
33:48because we're just human.
33:52Sometimes, we fall.
33:54Sometimes, we get stuck in the mud.
33:57But it's not our fault.
33:59And it's not God's fault.
34:02But if you're stuck in the mud,
34:05it doesn't mean that your life is stuck in the mud.
34:08You can change your destiny.
34:12Because
34:13your life is in your hands.
34:16You're the one who holds it.
34:19Your life can be bright.
34:21Okay.
34:24Someday.
34:36Shine, what changed your mind
34:38and your work?
34:42I lost my dignity in life.
34:45How did you realize that?
34:47It's not easy for us.
34:51Because they're just paying us.
34:55How did you join
34:57the advocacy group
34:59that you're joining now?
35:01Someone approached me
35:02and gave me flyers.
35:04They said that
35:05they're giving free education.
35:08Then I found out
35:10that their program is good.
35:13So I said,
35:14maybe it's about time
35:15to change my career.
35:17How's your son?
35:18How's your relationship?
35:20It's okay.
35:21Do you have a husband?
35:22Yes.
35:23I have a 4-year-old grandson.
35:25How did your son
35:26come back to you?
35:28You've been divorced for a long time, right?
35:29Yes.
35:30Almost 10 years.
35:31That's hard.
35:32How did you do that?
35:34Nothing.
35:35He just understood.
35:38He always says
35:41that he's blessed
35:42when he's with me.
35:43How did you put yourself
35:45that even if you're not in love
35:47with his father,
35:48he's still your son?
35:49It's just in my mind
35:50that I want my son to live.
35:52Of course,
35:53when I was young,
35:54I couldn't think of
35:56the responsibility
35:58that I should give to my son.
36:00I just wanted to find a way
36:01to live for my son.
36:03Why do women
36:05go to prostitution?
36:11It's hard to live.
36:13There's not enough education.
36:18The prostitutes
36:20who used to go to prostitution
36:22when they get home,
36:24they see that
36:25there's a lot of money,
36:27a lot of money.
36:28They're jealous.
36:29They're jealous.
36:30And there are parents
36:32who take care
36:33of their children.
36:36What advice do you have
36:37for women
36:39who say
36:41that they're jealous?
36:42They still have options
36:44in life.
36:45Like, we teach
36:47basic cosmetology
36:49that when they know
36:51how to put cuticles
36:53on a basket,
36:57they can live
36:58on their own.
37:00I heard, Shine,
37:02that you continue
37:04to improve yourself
37:08and your long-term dream
37:12of finishing your studies
37:14is almost there.
37:16Tell us about it.
37:18There's a mobile teacher
37:20who's networking with us.
37:22So I said,
37:23Sir, can I join
37:25even if it's just for a short time?
37:27Now, after three months
37:29of studying,
37:31little by little,
37:32little by little,
37:34she said,
37:35I want to join
37:36even if it's just for a short time.
37:38So I said,
37:39why not?
37:40If it's possible,
37:41she brought me here.
37:43Now, with God's mercy,
37:44I passed with 94%.
37:4794%?
37:48Yes, I passed.
37:49What's that,
37:50the Acceleration Test
37:51of the Department of Education?
37:52Yes, ma'am.
37:53So that means,
37:54you're ready for?
37:55College.
37:56For college?
37:57What do you want to get
37:58from college?
37:59I hope it's HRM.
38:00Shine, thank you so much.
38:01Thank you.
38:02Thank you very much.
38:03And this is for you.
38:04Thank you, ma'am.
38:05I'm thankful to you, ma'am,
38:06because you gave me a chance
38:08to get to know you.
38:10What is this?
38:12It's nothing.
38:13It's nothing.
38:14Okay.
