00:00I will miss her music, I will miss her laughter, I will miss her bend.

00:20Bilang anak, what are you missing the most?

00:24I miss my mom calling me every day and asking me how I am.

00:28I miss how wonderful she smelled.

00:31Always, little boy, I always look forward to seeing mom and smelling how wonderful she smelled.

00:38And that's one of the things that my mom has gifted me because days after she passed, I smelled her perfume.

00:47And it was bittersweet.

00:48I was happy that I smelled it but sad because I, mom is missing.

00:54I miss mom. I just miss mom being there. Calling me. I miss her laughter like you said.

01:02I miss conversations. I miss her making kwento of the things in the past.

01:08Her love life. I just miss her. I miss her presence.

01:13I'm talking about love life. Kayong mag-ina, pag nag-uusap kayo noon,

01:16Anong hindi mo malilimutan, Jackie, na payo ng tita Pilitz?

01:22About love?

01:22About love? About men?

01:24Oh my gosh.

01:25Because she was one of the wisest women.

01:28Yes, yes, yes.

01:30One of the wisest women I've met in my life.

01:33At pag nagpapaliwanag, napakaklaro.

01:36At saka kasi pinagdaanan.

01:37Correct.

01:37I think about love, she would just say, I remembered once, I had broken up.

01:43I think it was with Martin. Of course, many light years ago.

01:47But I was crying and crying and she goes, you know, Jack, sabi niya,

01:51just remember tomorrow is another day.

01:54The sun will shine tomorrow.

01:57Wouldn't you want to be there to welcome that day?

02:00I said, mom, what if I still feel the same way?

02:03Then you just have to deal with it.

02:05I can almost see the face of tita Pilitz say that.

02:08You just have to deal with it.

02:10Kung hindi okay today, eh di tomorrow it will be okay.

02:13That's what's stuck in my mind.

02:15It's like pain will be just temporary.

02:21Parang, yeah, it may be painful tomorrow.

02:23Maybe it may be more painful.

02:25Pero just deal with it.

02:27But she was so positive.

02:28And it brings me to that story.

02:32Alam niyo po nung kami lahat lumalaki dito sa Pilipinas at dito sa industriya ito.

02:37You used to be called the little rich girl.

02:39You know, you were kidnapped by your own father.

02:41My own father, I know.

02:42Naalala mo?

02:43Yes.

02:44I have photos also.

02:45And naalala ko rin yung kwento na siya pa ang nagpaliwanag,

02:48tita Pilita pa ang nagpaliwanag sa'yo na you were kidnapped because he loved,

02:52di ba?

02:53Remember?

02:53He loved you so much.

02:54Oo, yun ang kanyang paliwanag.

02:55Yes.

02:56At pagkatapos mo bumalik, she chose to forgive.

02:59Yes.

03:01Sobra.

03:02You know, that, that for me is unconditional love because I always say,

03:06my mom could have sent my dad to jail because I was kidnapped.

03:11But she didn't choose that path.

03:14She chose for me to know my dad and for me to grow up with my dad

03:18because she would always say, kaya lang nagawa ng dad mo yun

03:21because he loved you too much, hindi na nakapag-isip,

03:25that moment when he just didn't make sense.

03:28And listen, she was the aggrieved party, ha?

03:31Di ba?

03:31Pero siya yung nagpapaliwanag.

03:33Exactly.

03:33Na ito ang dahilan kung bakit nagawa.

03:35Oo, wag kang magalit sa tatay mo.

03:37Even when I was like 11 or 12, I was saying, how come, di ba?

03:41And that was her explanation.

03:43And for that, I always say, I will be so thankful and grateful to my mom

03:47because she could have looked the other way and I would not have known my dad.

03:51What a forgiving heart, no?

03:53Sobra.

03:54Kung ako yun, I don't know if I would be able to do that.

03:56Ako rin.

03:56Pero my mom, grabe naman.

03:59Immediate yun, ha?

04:00Grabe.

04:00Because when she was telling me that story, parang, ha?

04:04Kaagad.

04:05Di ba?

04:05Ang kanyang instinct was, what can we do?

04:08Ayun, yung pagsinasa.

04:09What can we do?

04:10Mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang anak.

04:12Oo.

04:12Ang kanyang, yung pagsinasa.
