00:002014 was the last time I went to Malipano, here in Batiawan.
00:06I remember the kids were exercising here.
00:13They are Maui.
00:14His father was watching him, Kuya Joseph.
00:19Now, they say Maui is now a senior in high school.
00:23So, 10 years have passed.
00:30And walk.
00:31On what is X?
00:34What is R?
00:37And walk.
00:39So, those are?
00:51Yes.
00:52Okay.
00:57Maui!
01:00How are you?
01:02I'm okay.
01:04We haven't seen each other for a long time.
01:13Maui was only in Grade 2 when we first met him.
01:21The boy who was passing the rice paddies back then.
01:29Now, he is carrying a bag and a book.
01:39When the documentary, Kawayang Pangarap was released,
01:43we hired him as a scholar in Project Malasakit.
01:48Many people worked hard to educate Maui.
01:51And now, he is in Grade 12.
01:55So, next year, you're done.
01:59Yes.
02:00In high school?
02:01Yes.
02:02Or college?
02:03What is your plan?
02:04My plan is to continue in college.
02:09So that I can finish and reach my dream of becoming a teacher.
02:15So that I can teach the kids, especially here.
02:22There are a lot of things that I can't read.
02:27Especially the old ones, ma'am.
02:29I was surprised when I heard that Maui's biggest dream is to become a priest.
02:38Why do you want to finish your studies?
02:41So that I can help my father.
02:45What kind of work do you want to do?
02:49I want to do housework.
02:57Now, he dreams of becoming a teacher.
03:02He wants to teach math and reading so that others won't deceive him.
03:09Sometimes, when you're at home, you have to buy something.
03:17And you know that you have a lot of money.
03:21And when you sell it, you know how much it will cost.
03:31Aside from Maui, we also took his sister, Karen, to be a school teacher.
03:35Father Joseph has a big dream for his eldest daughter.
03:38Let's start our program for the Filipino nationals.
03:54I still remember when Karen finished grade 6, Father Joseph was very happy.
03:59Karen was the first member of the Liwanag family to be able to attend high school.
04:10Thank you, Father.
04:25What is that, Father?
04:26Pancit.
04:28He was so happy that he even borrowed money to prepare his daughter.
04:40Thank you, Father.
04:49Here's your Pancit.
04:52Ten years have passed, and Karen is now in college.
05:00But...
05:03Why are you crying?
05:05Why are you crying?
05:08Why are you crying?
05:10I missed you, Ma'am.
05:11You missed me?
05:14Come here, Maui.
05:16Why is Maui taller than you?
05:25You're crying again.
05:27Why are you crying?
05:29I'm sorry, Ma'am. I couldn't fulfill my dream.
05:34You couldn't fulfill your dream?
05:36Yes, I couldn't fulfill my dream.
05:37Oh, my God.
05:39What's important is that you're a good mother.
05:45How many children do you have?
05:46I have two children.
05:47You have two children?
05:48Yes, Ma'am.
05:49Your children are what we're going to study.
05:52Yes, Ma'am.
05:53They're what we're going to work hard for.
05:54Yes, Ma'am.
05:57Your children are studying?
05:58Yes, Ma'am.
06:03Karen was in 10th grade when she was raped by a friend.
06:08She was forced to stop studying.
06:12I couldn't fulfill my dream, Ma'am.
06:15I just want my children to have a good future, Ma'am.
06:20I just want them to fulfill my dream, Ma'am.
06:24I just want them to have a good future.
06:28Karen now has two children.
06:31Her only dream is to have a good future for her children.
06:37I just want them to have a good future, Ma'am.
06:39I just want them to fulfill my dream, Ma'am.
06:44I just want them to fulfill my dream, Ma'am.
07:00I just want them to fulfill my dream, Ma'am.
07:02I just want them to fulfill my dream, Ma'am.
