00:00In a house in Tagaytay, there are children who are close to my heart.
00:20Because Christmas is a time of love and giving, we visited a place here in Tagaytay City that is close to my heart.
00:31In 2014, I started visiting Mother Teresa.
00:35Since then, I have been going back and forth to the place,
00:38and I was immediately intrigued by the stories of children who are being left and abandoned.
00:43One of the children I met here is Hilary.
00:48Were you here when you were a child?
00:51Actually, I was brought here when I was three years old.
00:56Three years old.
00:58Because of their parents' separation, Hilary was left at home with her two siblings.
01:06What did you feel when you realized that this is not the normal home of a child with her own family?
01:20I was curious as to why my parents brought me here.
01:31Sometimes, I feel sad because I envy other children because their parents are with them.
01:42Did your father visit you often?
01:47He used to visit me often.
01:49Your mother?
01:52So, your two siblings are the only ones who visit you?
01:55You've been here for 14 years, right?
01:57What is your wish for Christmas?
02:00For the whole family to be together.
02:03Even if you don't see your mother and father, you still want to be together?
02:08Yes.
02:11Do you know where they are?
02:15Your father.
02:20And your mother?
02:21I don't know where she is.
02:33I'm going to cry.
02:35Because it's so heavy.
02:37Because it's so heavy.
02:39Your wish is easy if you still have a connection.
02:49But because you don't know where your mother is.
02:53No.
02:56Your father, you're guessing where he is.
02:58That's the ultimate wish.
03:01If your family wants to be together,
03:05it's better if you three are still together.
03:10I'm going to cry.
03:11It's okay.
03:15Hillary's story is one of the reasons why I come back to this house.
03:20Because each one of them has their own story.
03:23Each one has a wish.
03:25That's what will make us happy and complete for the upcoming Christmas.
03:30Because it's the season of giving,
03:32together with the I Wonder Team and with the help of GMA Kapuso Foundation,
03:37let's make this Christmas sweet for these kids.
03:40I brought my favorite snack, Twing Noche Buena,
03:44and some sweet foods that they will surely like.
03:48We are here now, the I Wonder Team, to give you a little bit of joy,
03:53especially because Christmas is coming.
03:56Do you like sweets?
04:00I hope you like what we gave you.
04:05Ice cream!
04:07Cake! Do you want a cake?
04:09What's this?
04:10Oh, you like this?
04:12What did I tell you?
04:13This is fun.
04:30I wonder.
04:32Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
04:35It's the season of giving
04:38Let's love and give
04:43With friends and family
04:46Let's be happy
04:48Let's complete this Christmas sweet
04:51I wonder
04:54I wonder
04:57Merry Christmas
05:01Just like Hilary and the other kids in Ampunan,
05:04there's nothing missing for them.
05:05Instead, they are full of love that they are ready to share with others.
05:11If you are willing to share your help for the projects of GMA Kapuso Foundation,
05:15you can deposit it in their bank accounts and online donation platforms.
