00:00Do you still remember Julius and his story?
00:06He was a half-Filipino, half-Korean police officer
00:10who only saw his Korean mother in Korea after three decades.
00:19Now, the good news is that his mother brought him here to the Philippines.
00:27Mom!
00:31It's like the scenes in a Korean soap opera.
00:35When Julius was a half-Filipino, half-Korean police officer,
00:38more than 30 years later,
00:41he saw his Korean mother whom he's been looking for for a long time.
00:47Mom!
00:58I'm so sorry, mom.
01:05I miss you so much, mom.
01:09Look at me, son.
01:11Do you remember me?
01:15I miss you so much, mom.
01:28Julius was really born in Korea,
01:31but his Filipino father brought him here to the Philippines.
01:35Since then, he hasn't seen his Korean mother.
01:41Your father was a musician.
01:43Yes.
01:44Your mother?
01:44My mother is pure Korean.
01:46I was the fruit of their relationship.
01:48But their relationship wasn't okay.
01:50Julius had a hard life here in the Philippines.
01:54He grew up in Tondo.
01:56He worked hard and eventually became a police officer.
02:00But he still kept looking for his mother.
02:04Until he met a Korean here in the Philippines
02:08who brought his story to a TV show soon in Korea.
02:17And this September, Julius flew to South Korea
02:22because he found his mother.
02:26That's when I saw my mother's face.
02:28That's when I was able to prove that there's a blood relationship.
02:32She's my mother. I know she's my mother.
02:34I just yelled at her,
02:36Mom!
02:41While I was running,
02:43I felt like my police uniform was disappearing.
02:45My basketball uniform was disappearing.
02:47I was going to be a college student,
02:49a high school student,
02:51and an elementary student.
02:53That's when we went back to the airport.
02:57You were six years old again.
02:59You were still a kid.
03:01I wasn't able to give the hug I was supposed to give
03:03before we said goodbye
03:05when we won't see each other for a long time.
03:09Mom!
03:11Mom!
03:21Mom!
03:33I'm sorry, Mom.
03:35Mom!
03:37Mom!
03:39I miss you so much.
03:41I miss you so much, Mom.
03:43Mom!
03:45I miss you so much.
03:47Mom!
03:49I miss you so much.
03:51I miss you so much.
03:55Your eyebrows, your hair,
03:57and your face.
03:59I'm so old, right?
04:01I remember you.
04:03I'm so old.
04:05I miss you so much.
04:07I miss you so much.
04:09I miss you so much.
04:11I miss you so much.
04:13I miss you so much.
04:15I'm sorry, Mom.
04:17I'm sorry.
04:19I miss you so much.
04:21I miss you so much.
04:23After four months,
04:25the mother and her son
04:27will meet again in person.
04:29Let's go.
04:31Ogum Nim
04:33will visit Julius
04:35here in the Philippines.
04:37He's so handsome.
04:41I printed a banner
04:43so that my mom can see it.
04:45This is my mom.
04:47Welcome to the Philippines,
04:49and in Korean character.
04:51I'm still nervous even though we've met before
04:53because this is a different setting.
04:55It's my first time in the Philippines.
04:57I'll be able to introduce her
04:59about my life here.
05:01It's hot here,
05:03that's why I have my first greeting with her.
05:05Later on,
05:11the most awaited visitor
05:13has arrived.
05:17Julius
05:27I love you so much.
05:29I miss you so much.
05:31I miss you so much.
05:35I love you so much.
05:37I miss you so much.
05:41Julius gave his mom
05:43his welcome gift.
05:45Do you like it?
05:47Yes, I love it.
05:49You've lost a lot of weight.
05:51I cooked Korean beef for you.
05:53Korean beef?
05:55Yes.
05:57Together with Ogum Nim,
05:59Julius' daughter
06:01and his cousin
06:03came from Korea.
06:05When Julius was born,
06:07his mother gave him a bath
06:09and everything.
06:11This is my sister's daughter.
06:13I took a picture with her today.
06:15I told you, this is the other half of the story.
06:21Hello.
06:23Hello.
06:25I greeted Julius again
06:27this time with his Korean mother.
06:29Welcome.
06:31Pabuhay.
06:33Julius,
06:35thank you so much
06:37for having me interview you.
06:39Ogum Nim, thank you for this interview.
06:41How are you?
06:43How does she find the country?
06:55Julius, how are you?
06:57Your mom is here.
06:59I know she wants to go on vacation here.
07:01But I chose to show her
07:03the other half.
07:05What she missed.
07:07I showed her
07:09the Philippines in Seoul.
07:11We went to Luneta.
07:13I wanted to show her Rizal.
07:15This is the best representation
07:17of Filipinos.
07:23Mom, I'm scared.
07:25Julius showed his mom
07:27how to ride a bike.
07:29Slowly.
07:31Let's go.
07:35Mom, are you afraid?
07:39No, I'm here.
07:41Don't worry.
07:43I was scared before,
07:45but now I feel safe.
07:47When I was in kindergarten,
07:49I rode a bike
07:51to go to Seoul Land.
07:53It's just a ride.
07:55It's an experience.
07:57I didn't go like this.
08:07Julius introduced his mom
08:09to his hometown,
08:11Satundo.
08:13Manalo.
08:17Before, no ceiling.
08:19If it rains, water will come inside.
08:21Room upstairs.
08:23Your room?
08:25My room.
08:27You bought it?
08:29Yes.
08:31I saw the house.
08:33What did he say?
08:35They didn't allow it.
08:37Mom, I'm sorry.
08:41Let's go.
08:47I told them,
08:49they're looking at it
08:51from a different perspective.
08:53I told them it's normal.
08:55I didn't show it to hurt you.
08:57I showed it to hurt you
08:59because I want you to know
09:01what you missed.
09:03You were sad
09:05when you went to the house
09:07of Julius in Tondo?
09:11Yes.
09:13Okay.
09:41I'm sorry.
09:43Yes, I'm sorry.
09:45It's okay.
09:47If I knew
09:49you were going to be like this,
09:51I would have taken you
09:53right away.
09:55Do you have to apologize
09:57for that kind of upbringing?
09:59Do you say,
10:01I wish I grew up in a cold country?
10:03No.
10:05But I heard
10:07that it's good
10:09that before you look up,
10:11look down.
10:13When you look down,
10:15they're dreaming of your position.
10:17And when you look up,
10:19hey, their situation is good
10:21but I have a worse situation.
10:23So I shouldn't be jealous of them.
10:25Vice President of the school.
10:27Julius also made his mother
10:29jealous of his former school.
10:31Champion, 2008.
10:33Champion.
10:35My son.
10:37Mom, number 10.
10:39He's really good at basketball.
10:45I'm so happy
10:47and proud of him.
10:49He's also good at sports.
10:51So,
10:53if he looks like me,
10:55I think he's a strong kid.
10:57Julius, did you also bring him
10:59to the church where you got married?
11:01Yes.
11:03Of course, it's our tradition
11:05to invite our mother.
11:07My stepmom can't come
11:09because of some beliefs.
11:11So she came to me.
11:13She's invited.
11:15But you know, it's late.
11:17She didn't accept
11:19the invitation because I don't know.
11:25But even so,
11:27I feel like
11:29what we did yesterday,
11:31she did for me.
11:33She brought me
11:35to the altar.
11:37I sang my song there.
11:41When I got there,
11:43I prayed to her.
11:45Then you will
11:47go there and walk.
11:49Me, wait for Carla.
11:51Walk with his
11:53abuji. And then we go there.
11:57So, it's like you
11:59reenacted your marriage
12:01for the sake of your mom?
12:03I know she missed it.
12:05It's one of the turning points
12:07of a married man's life.
12:09We saw each other.
12:11We can do it again,
12:13even if it's not the same moment.
12:15And we all got pictures here.
12:17And very happy.
12:19Now, you did not miss
12:21because we did it today.
12:23Okay?
12:25I love you so much.
12:33What was it like for you?
12:35I'm sorry that I wasn't there.
12:37I'm sorry.
12:39I wanted to do it with her.
12:41She got married
12:43by herself.
12:45My wife
12:47cried a lot.
12:49My mom.
12:53We went to Zambales.
12:55But it was accessible
12:57as of now.
12:59She got tired.
13:01But they had a beautiful sunset.
13:03It's beautiful.
13:05It's beautiful.
13:07But overall,
13:09what is the experience like for you?
13:11That you had come to the Philippines,
13:13meet your son again,
13:15and walk through
13:17the different stages of his life.
13:19I'm proud.
13:21My son grew up
13:23a lot.
13:25But as he got older,
13:27in Korea,
13:29I had a similar experience.
13:31I lived alone for a long time.
13:33And my son
13:35suddenly became a hero.
13:37I feel confident.
13:39And because of him,
13:41I should be careful
13:43about what I do.
13:45That's what I think.
13:47I want to be confident.
13:49Because I have a son.
13:51Do you have any memories of Julius
13:53that you keep close to your heart?
13:55Of course, it's me.
13:57Since he was born,
13:59until he lived with me,
14:01I don't lose anything.
14:03I remember everything.
14:05What he liked,
14:07where he went,
14:09where he tore his clothes,
14:11where he lost his bicycle.
14:13I remember everything.
14:15And when he appears in my dreams,
14:17he always comes back when he's grown up.
14:19My son gave me a necklace.
14:21He said,
14:23if you want to see your mom,
14:25come to me.
14:27But he didn't come that day.
14:29I blamed him a lot.
14:31But he hated me.
14:33Because he was my son.
14:35How did she hang on to that hope
14:37that maybe one day,
14:39she will see her son again?
14:41She said,
14:43he will come someday.
14:45So I thought,
14:47he will come someday.
14:49At that time,
14:51I just got a call from my friend.
14:53But when I got a call
14:55that he was looking for me,
14:57my heart stopped without thinking.
14:59Mom!
15:01Mom!
15:03Mom!
15:05At that time,
15:07he was running to me.
15:09He called me
15:11mom, mom.
15:13I could hear his voice
15:15clearly.
15:19Is Julius anything you've
15:21dreamed he would be
15:23from the time he was little
15:25to now?
15:27He was the same.
15:29When he was young,
15:31he was the same as a Filipino.
15:33He had a long nose.
15:35But now that he's grown up,
15:37he has a skin like mine.
15:39He had a flat nose like me.
15:41But because of his nose and ears,
15:43I thought it was normal.
15:45It's an amazing story
15:47of how he survived
15:49all the heartache and the pain
15:51of being away from her son.
15:55But I still have a strong heart.
15:57Until now,
15:59when Junhyung came to me later,
16:01I didn't forget
16:03that I was always you.
16:05How is his life in Korea?
16:07Is he retired?
16:09Not yet.
16:11He knows my favorite
16:13radish kimchi, kkakdugi.
16:15They're over-bugged because of the kimchi.
16:17That's the special kimchi.
16:19Mama's cooking is different, right?
16:21It's really different, especially in the restaurant
16:23where he works. He knows if the kimchi is good or not.
16:25To whom are you sending this?
16:27To my son. He likes this culture.
16:29Remember,
16:31what I'm doing.
16:33Junhyung, mom, look at this.
16:35I'm happy
16:37because he's smiling again.
16:39He's happy with the radish kimchi.
16:43Actually, he's happy.
16:45We're happy.
16:47Actually, he's recovering.
16:49It will slowly heal.
16:51That's why I forced him to see
16:53the place where there's sunrise and sunset.
16:55Because sunrise
16:57is the beginning of
16:59the light.
17:01But when it's sunset,
17:03you know, the day will end.
17:05But he still has
17:07a beautiful view,
17:09a beautiful memory.
17:17Even if we'll be together
17:19in the Philippines,
17:21it's still good to have a memory
17:23of everything that happened.
17:25I'm sure this is not the first time.
17:27There will be more like this.
17:29Do you have a plan, Julius?
17:31Our last conversation,
17:33of course, while he's getting older,
17:35I'll be with him until the rest of our lives.
17:37Are you going to Korea?
17:39It's either there or here.
17:41But I think it's better to be here.
17:43Are you looking forward to growing old
17:45with Julius?
17:47Later,
17:49now that he's old,
17:51I don't want to burden him.
17:53When he gets older,
17:55I'll be in a lot of pain.
17:57I want him to accept me
17:59in the end.
18:02Have you learned some Tagalog words?
18:04Master, I love you.
18:06How are you?
18:09Yes.
18:10Beautiful.
18:11Beautiful.
18:12You're beautiful.
18:14This is my food.
18:16Before Ogum Nim's return to Korea,
18:20we prepared a simple Filipino salad
18:23for them.
18:24Very nutritious.
18:26I'm healthy.
18:29This is what I'm going to give to him.
18:32There.
18:33That's my welcome gift to him,
18:35because it's hot here.
18:37But this goodbye gift,
18:39because it's cold there.
18:44Korean.
18:45Good.
18:46Okay.
18:49Beautiful.
18:50It's very cold in Korea now.
18:51Wow, very nice.
18:53Because we want to celebrate Jun Yusef's birthday again,
18:58we want to surprise him with a cake.
19:01How do you sing happy birthday in Korean?
19:03It's the same.
19:04Happy birthday to you.
19:07Happy birthday to you.
19:10Happy birthday dear Jun Yusef.
19:14Happy birthday to you.
19:17Yay!
19:19He's crying even though it's his birthday.
19:22Yay!
19:27We talked to my mom.
19:28She told me that she's sad every winter.
19:32Because she knows it's my birthday,
19:33but she doesn't celebrate it.
19:35I don't celebrate my birthday.
19:37Because it's like we're celebrating it.
19:39That's how my mom is to me.
19:41Usually, my mom is the one who wants to celebrate.
19:44She's really my mom.
19:45But when she came into my life,
19:47she celebrated my birthday with me.
19:49I said I want to celebrate my birthday because of her.
19:51I want to thank you for surprising me.
19:53If there's a reenactment in a wedding,
19:55there's a reenactment in a birthday.
19:57I'm really happy and thankful to you.
20:00We also have a simple gift.
20:03A photo album.
20:05It has pictures of Jun Yusef when he was growing up.
20:09So, there.
20:11Okay, we give to you.
20:16Oh, very good looking.
20:18Yes.
20:19Handsome.
20:20Those are your sunrises and sunsets.
20:22Yes.
20:24Sambales, okay?
20:26Next time I go to the Philippines,
20:28I will present kimchi.
20:31Kimchi, kimchi.
20:41You're a very strong woman.
20:47Mom!
20:51Oh, my God.
20:54No matter how challenging our life is,
20:59let's stay strong.
21:01And I hope that all of our sickness and hardships
21:04can be replaced by happiness
21:07and not to the point of love.
21:21Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
