00:00You were in Pasig, according to the narrative, around the area, I mean, near your dad's house.
00:14How did that reconciliation happen?
00:18Was that a spur of the moment that I was going to visit my dad?
00:24Well, before that Tito Boy, what happened to me in the Scripture,
00:28because if you will read the Bible, God speaks through His word to us.
00:37He is really there to talk to you.
00:39He is not only going to talk to you like this, but by the Holy Spirit, He is going to speak to you through His word.
00:44So, almost every day, reconciliation comes to me, even in the church, about reconciliation, restoration.
00:54I said, Lord, what is this? You're telling me something about this reconciliation.
01:01I immediately thought of my dad.
01:04Then my friend who is a disciple told me, Bro, it's time.
01:10Come closer to your dad.
01:12I said, no, I don't want to be the first one.
01:16I will know when.
01:18It happened, by the grace of God, in June, during Father's Day.
01:25That's when it manifested to me.
01:27I said, Lord, give me the courage and strength to face my dad.
01:32If he scolds me, I will accept it.
01:34Even if he shouts at me in front of people, I will accept it.
01:39I'm doing this for my dad and for you, not for myself.
01:43What I want is for us to reconcile.
01:46It happened.
01:48So, I went to his house on Father's Day.
01:51My dad was sitting in the audience, he was holding the mic.
01:54I said, D, D.
01:57I said, Lord, this is your turn.
01:59I said, this is it.
02:00D.
02:01He just reacted like that.
02:04Oh.
02:05The tone of his voice.
02:07Oh.
02:08Kimpy.
02:09This is Kimpy's hat.
02:11Oh.
02:13Total silence.
02:14He didn't say anything.
02:15I just came closer and hugged him.
02:17Happy Father's Day, D.
02:18I said, I'm just teasing you.
02:20I really did it on purpose.
02:21Then, the floor director said,
02:24Sir, the camera is about to fall on my dad.
02:27I said, just wait at the back.
02:29And then, my dad came out.
02:30He didn't finish it.
02:31He finished it.
02:32He held the mic.
02:33He gave it to him.
02:34He didn't come back.
02:35He said, what are you doing here?
02:36I said, do you have a promo?
02:38I said, no, nothing.
02:39I said, I really did it on purpose.
02:41I'm just teasing you on Father's Day
02:43because it's Father's Day now.
02:45I didn't think of anything else by that time.
02:48I didn't mention the problem, even him.
02:52It just happened suddenly.
02:56By God's grace.
02:57We just talked.
02:58It was a casual conversation.
03:00By the time the show was over,
03:02he didn't come back.
03:05I took him to the car.
03:07When he got in,
03:08he suddenly got out again.
03:11He just smiled at me.
03:14So,
03:17that's when I felt that
03:23it's okay.
03:27Sorry.
03:30We're okay now.
03:33Let's forget what happened.
03:37I just want to tell you that we have a connection again.
03:46We have a connection again.
03:49It's all thanks to God.
03:51This is what I'm telling you.
03:53Thank you, Lord.
03:54It's you.
03:55Not me.
03:57You made a way.
03:59Your timing is perfect.
04:05I hugged him and said,
04:06I love you, D.
04:08I said, thank you.
04:10He said, we'll still see each other.
04:13I said, I'll still visit you here.
04:16Anytime.
04:17I don't have a job yet.
04:18I said, I'll visit you.
04:19He said, come anytime.
04:21When he left,
04:23I was really crying in my car.
04:26I prayed to God.
04:28Nothing is impossible with you.
04:30Everything is possible.
04:32And then, a month after,
04:35September came,
04:36Aunt Aileen's birthday,
04:38Cheney, Jocas,
04:39my sister,
04:42they invited me
04:43to have lunch with them.
04:44So,
04:45I went.
04:48I couldn't go down yet
04:50because I was ashamed
04:51that it was my first time
04:52to come to my dad's house.
04:53I don't know if
04:55I'll be able to face my whole family here.
04:58What kind of reaction,
05:00what kind of welcome
05:01will I be able to give?
05:02So,
05:04I said,
05:05Lord, I'm just relying on you.
05:07I said,
05:11keep me humble.
05:12It's about humility.
05:14So,
05:15when I entered,
05:16he said,
05:17oh,
05:18be casual.
05:19Oh, that's it.
05:20Until I cried.
05:21Aunt Aileen,
05:22Jocas,
05:23I said,
05:24why are you crying?
05:25It's been a long time since you left.
05:29So,
05:30I apologized to everyone.
05:31I said,
05:32I'm sorry, auntie.
05:34I'm also sorry.
05:35We all apologized.
05:37And then,
05:38when they were arranging the cake
05:39to blow the cake,
05:41I called my dad.
05:43My dad,
05:44you know,
05:45my friends,
05:46is very generous.
05:48I'm thankful to my dad.
05:49He's very generous
05:50even though
05:51he doesn't ask for anything
05:52even though you don't need it.
05:55Since I started working,
05:56I didn't ask my dad for anything.
06:00Unless,
06:01he gives me something.
06:03I'm thankful.
06:04It's a blessing.
06:05But at that time,
06:06he gave me an envelope.
06:07I said,
06:08no,
06:09I don't need it.
06:11I said,
06:12I'm the one who's ashamed, uncle.
06:15No,
06:16this is not why I came here.
06:17I said,
06:18I just want us to be okay.
06:21Until I hugged him
06:22and apologized.
06:23That's when we apologized.
06:24I said,
06:25I'm sorry.
06:27I made a promise.
06:29I said,
06:30I'm sorry for everything I did.
06:32It's because of my pride.
06:34It's like my pride.
06:38It's one of the sins
06:39that God doesn't like,
06:40pride.
06:42I need to remove it.
06:44Until then,
06:45I didn't let it go.
06:46I said,
06:47no,
06:48I don't need it.
06:49I need us to be okay.
06:50I said,
06:51it's okay.
06:54Let's reconcile.
06:55Let's make this right.
06:56Because it's my fault.
06:57It's my fault.
07:00It's a big sin
07:01to you,
07:02to the family.
07:03It's my fault
07:04that I let it go.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:09I'm really sorry.
07:10I said,
07:11I'm really sorry.
07:12I won't let it go.
07:13No,
07:14it's okay.
07:15We're okay.
07:16I don't want to let it go.
07:17I want to hug you.
07:18It's been a long time
07:20He said,
07:21accept it.
07:22I said,
07:23thank you.
07:24I said,
07:25this is a big help.
07:27To the boy,
07:28I came at the right time.
07:32I was broke.
07:35I don't know.
07:36I just
07:37leave it all to God.
07:38I don't know
07:39how I survived.
07:41That whole time
07:42that happened to me,
07:43I didn't
07:45plan for it.
07:46God planned
07:47for it to happen.
07:48That's all.
07:49That's why
07:51I was happy
07:52because a lot of people
07:53commented.
07:54A lot of people messaged
07:56that they have
07:57the same problem
07:58with their families.
08:00So, a lot of people
08:01related.
08:02They're thanking me
08:03because it became
08:04a testimony.
08:05Like right now,
08:06it's my testimony
08:07to all.
08:10It's an eye-opener
08:11for others
08:13whether
08:14whoever
08:15has a sin,
08:16your father,
08:18it doesn't matter anymore.
08:19Or you.
08:20Or me.
08:21It's about forgiveness
08:22and humility.
08:24It's in the hands
08:25of God.
08:26Love your father
08:27and mother.
08:28Obey them.
08:29For me,
08:30I didn't think
08:31that my mom
08:32left me before
08:34and my dad
08:35didn't like us.
08:37I'm just thankful
08:38that it happened
08:39because I've learned.
08:41I matured
08:42in thinking
08:43and even
08:44my belief in God.
08:45I relied
08:46on God
08:47and I trusted
08:48that
08:52He played
08:53my thoughts
08:54and my life.
08:55So,
08:56I owe everything
08:57to Him.
08:58How are you and your dad?
09:00We're good.
09:01I love you.
09:02You know that.
09:09Total,
09:10I'm thankful
09:14for everything
09:15that happened to us.
09:16Even if I did something wrong to you,
09:18I'm still thankful
09:19because
09:22I realized
09:23what my mistake was.
09:25You didn't take care of me
09:27because I can relate
09:28to the Word of God.
09:35The prodigal son.
09:38That's me.
09:39That's where I can relate.
09:41On my birthday,
09:42last January,
09:43we had dinner
09:44and I thanked Tita Eileen
09:45for their dinner treat.
09:47Tita Eileen told me,
09:50Do you know the story
09:51of the prodigal son?
09:52He cried.
09:53I said,
09:54that's me.
09:56You know,
09:57your dad has been waiting for you
09:58for a long time.
10:00He's been waiting for you
10:01for a long time
10:02to come home.
10:06But you still accepted him.
10:09So,
10:10it hit me.
10:11I said,
10:12Lord,
10:13I'm thankful for the realization
10:14of what happened.
10:15For the things that happened.
10:16If it wasn't for you,
10:17we would still be gone.
10:20We would still be blind.
10:22So right now,
10:24I'm more closer
10:25to my dad,
10:26to Tita Eileen,
10:27to my mom,
10:28to my brothers and sisters.
10:30You're home.
10:32If they can't show
10:34what they can do,
10:36I can do it.
10:37That's right.
10:39Pride,
10:40you said,
10:42that's one of the things
10:43that I will remember
10:44constantly.
10:45Because that's what
10:46pride is.
10:47There are many
10:49relationships
10:50that are broken.
10:51But just briefly,
10:53how did you reconcile
10:54with your mom?
10:56With my mom,
11:00we didn't see each other
11:01for almost two years.
11:03There was no connection.
11:05I just saw her interview
11:07with OG Diaz.
11:09So she released
11:10all her bad feelings.
11:11I was surprised.
11:12Where did she come from?
11:13Why is she like that?
11:14I called my sister,
11:15Phoebe from the States.
11:17I asked her,
11:18what kind of interview is this?
11:19She said,
11:22I'm trying to call her.
11:23Text her.
11:24She didn't reply.
11:27To make it short,
11:30Lord made a vessel,
11:31He made an instrument,
11:32my nephew,
11:33Chini's son,
11:34Sofia.
11:36Because on Facebook,
11:37the people whom you know
11:40add you on.
11:42So she saw
11:44Lydia.
11:46Is this Lala?
11:48She added me.
11:49So she responded.
11:50It's my mom.
11:52She said,
11:53she calls me Tatay.
11:54Tatay, I saw Lala.
11:56Where?
11:57Here on Facebook.
11:58She added me.
11:59I added her
12:00because I think
12:01it's a new account.
12:02Then they talked.
12:05Then they met up.
12:06My mom's crying to her
12:08that she realized
12:09that what she did was wrong.
12:12In the interview,
12:14she said that
12:15she went too far
12:16in a way.
12:18She said,
12:19I didn't argue with her.
12:21At least she realized
12:22what her mistake was.
12:24So when we invited her
12:25for Christmas,
12:26that's when we really
12:27talked.
12:29We didn't talk
12:30about what happened.
12:32She was the one
12:33who told the story.
12:35I said,
12:36Mommy, forget about it.
12:37Let's move on.
12:39Whatever happened,
12:40forget about it.
12:41If you regret it,
12:42so be it.
12:43It's over.
12:44You don't have to dwell
12:45on the past.
12:46That's the past.
12:47Right.
12:48Move on.
12:49Because our future is
12:50in front of us,
12:51not behind us.
12:52So you have to move on.
12:53You have to step forward.
12:54Look on the brighter side.
12:57I'm thankful to God
12:58because my mom,
12:59she reads the Bible now.
13:02She got closer to God.
13:04I said,
13:05God is in my mom's heart.
13:07We share.
13:08Every day,
13:09we send messages
13:10and prayer.
13:14And today, you're okay?
13:16I'm good.
13:17It's good.
13:18Thank you for sharing
13:19your story.
13:20Thank you so much.
13:25It's nice to say,
13:26journey on.
13:28Right?
13:29Because based on your story,
13:31why are you afraid?
13:32You can be still.
13:34Because you and I know
13:36that he's God.
13:37Amen.
13:39Maraming maraming salamat.
14:33Amen.
