00:00What can a parent do to have a bright future for their child?
00:15How far can they travel?
00:23Take care, okay?
00:25We met Irene, an OFW.
00:28She's been working as a factory worker in Taiwan for a year.
00:32We work 12 hours a day.
00:35We make our living there.
00:37Sometimes, we get sardines, eggs, and noodles.
00:41That's enough for us.
00:42It's enough for us to travel to the Philippines.
00:45Traveling abroad wasn't an easy decision for Irene.
00:50But for her future,
00:52even if it's hard, she insists on being away from her family.
00:56As someone who lost her child,
01:03I always think that she's okay
01:05because she had a hard time at first.
01:08She couldn't sleep because of me.
01:11She's used to being with me at night.
01:16Neil's child was only 6 years old
01:18when she left him to take care of her family.
01:22As one child, they were very close.
01:26So when she left, it was hard for the child.
01:30I was sad and I cried.
01:34I like being with my mom.
01:38When I sleep, I open my phone so I can see my mom.
01:44What do you eat?
01:46I don't know.
01:48Even though her father and family are together,
01:51her love for her mom is still different.
01:54I love you, mom.
01:56I love you too.
01:57Miss you.
01:59No matter how hard it is to get a job abroad,
02:02Irene will be able to finish her studies.
02:06It's very hard because you want to be a mother to her,
02:10but you also want to earn for her.
02:12But after a year of separation,
02:16Irene is back in the Philippines.
02:19And the gimmick in the video of her surprise to her son
02:23is trending.
02:24It's trending!
02:45And it reached the hearts of the netizens.
02:48It reached 2 million views.
02:55Thank you.
02:58I told my nieces and nephews to go to Fast Food
03:02to wait for me.
03:04I couldn't believe what I was going to do.
03:07So I gave her a surprise.
03:11I wanted to hug her.
03:13I was excited.
03:15When Yael saw Irene's shoes and eyebrows,
03:18she recognized her right away.
03:21Even though she wasn't with her for a year,
03:24she still has a lot of details about her mom.
03:27When I held her shoes, I was happy.
03:33I cried.
03:35Why did you cry?
03:36Because my mom surprised me.
03:43I missed her so much.
03:45Don't cry.
03:49Because Irene couldn't be with her son on his birthday,
03:53she decided to go home.
03:56I bought her shoes and clothes.
04:00And when we got home, we went to Zambales.
04:04We went outing with the whole family.
04:07The mothers also deserve to be together at home.
04:10Their favorite bonding is watching movies
04:14and their most missed thing is to sleep together.
04:20But the bonding of the mothers will be broken again.
04:25I explained to her that I need to leave.
04:35A child was surprised that the one who will deliver her food
04:39is her own mother.
04:44In the OFW, the son was surprised.
04:53Their video is trending.
05:01But the reunion of the two will be broken again
05:05because after two weeks,
05:08Irene will return to Taiwan.
05:11I explained to her that I need to leave
05:15so that we can finish our house,
05:18so that we can have our own house,
05:20and so that we can save money so that we can finish our studies.
05:29That's why before Irene returns to Taiwan,
05:32there's a surprise and good news for their family.
05:38Thank you, mom.
05:40Thank you.
05:43I'm still hungry.
05:45I'm still hungry.
05:51When I couldn't leave, I tried to talk to her.
05:55Now she's alone.
05:57She can do it.
05:58It's delicious.
06:01The mothers also have surprises for each other.
06:06For dessert,
06:07there's also a donut for Irene,
06:09a favorite of her daughter.
06:13Thank you, mom.
06:15Of course, it's for Neil.
06:18Mom, I also have a surprise for you.
06:22For you, mom.
06:24There are flowers,
06:26and shoes for mommy.
06:28She's sure that she will remember this design.
06:31So that when her mommy Irene returns,
06:34she can recognize it quickly.
06:37I'm the one who will return it.
06:39You're the one who will return it.
06:41Not only that,
06:42Neil also has a letter for mommy Irene.
06:45I love you, mom.
06:47Take care in Taiwan.
06:52Take care of yourself.
06:56I will miss you.
07:01Thank you for the sacrifice that you gave to me.
07:21This is for you.
07:23Mommy will fight for you.
07:26Mommy will always be here.
07:28We will make a sacrifice for you.
07:40Study hard, okay?
07:41Okay.
07:46No matter how far apart they are,
07:48their memories will serve as an inspiration
07:52in the midst of waiting.
07:54Parents' love is really unparalleled.
07:59That's why we salute our fellow overseas Filipino workers
08:03for your sacrifice for your loved ones.
08:10Love you.
08:24Love you.
