00:04 Just in time for Christmas,
00:05 Sparkle Star Faith Da Silva received an answered prayer.
00:09 Because for the first time,
00:11 she saw and hugged her father.
00:15 Their meeting was so touching
00:18 in Nelson Canlas' chika.
00:20 More than the material,
00:25 Sparkle Star Faith Da Silva received a gift.
00:29 How are you?
00:31 When she hugged her father,
00:35 80's actor Dennis Da Silva.
00:37 This is the first time
00:39 Faith saw and hugged her father
00:42 since she was pregnant.
00:44 Faith visited Dennis
00:46 with her younger brother, Silas,
00:49 in Muntinlupa City Jail
00:51 where her father was imprisoned for 21 years
00:54 for rape.
00:56 I felt that I was complete for a long time
00:59 and I forgave him.
01:01 But it's different to feel
01:04 the hug of a father.
01:06 It felt like
01:08 when I was a child again.
01:11 You know that, right?
01:13 I have been longing for it.
01:16 I waited for it for a long time.
01:18 I prayed for it.
01:20 And now that it's here,
01:22 it's so good.
01:24 It's so good to live.
01:26 It's so good to give love
01:28 and receive love from my father.
01:31 Faith thanks the people
01:33 who helped her
01:35 to make this meeting happen.
01:37 Their meeting, she said,
01:39 is a beautiful memory
01:41 in her heart
01:43 that she will carry for the rest of her life.
01:45 I saw their life there
01:47 and the life of my father.
01:51 And I wish for everyone
01:55 that they can be with their families
01:57 this Christmas.
01:59 After this, what are your plans?
02:02 Since you met your father in person.
02:05 To be honest, I'm just happy
02:07 where we are right now.
02:10 Where we're at right now.
02:13 I don't want to make the process easier.
02:16 You know,
02:18 it's hard to be in a situation
02:21 where I want more.
02:25 I want...
02:27 I want to be with him.
02:32 I want to...
02:34 have more conversations with him.
02:37 I know that he's a good person.
02:39 That's how he feels.
02:41 And...
02:45 I'm just grateful.
02:47 I'm just happy that this happened.
