00:00Some of us, in other countries, are also working hard to get what we are hoping for in exchange for a better life,
00:11which is to return to our loved ones.
00:16That is why many of our overseas Filipino workers, or OFWs, are waiting for the opportunity to return to their own country
00:27and embrace their lost family in the Philippines.
00:39This is one of the people we met, Erica, who is now living abroad.
00:47Tonight, she will be joined by Good News, who was surprised by the sudden return of her loved one.
00:55What will be their reaction?
01:01Erica's father has been an OFW in New Zealand for 5 years.
01:06Because of the hardship of being separated from his family,
01:09they decided to move to New Zealand so that they can be together.
01:14Life in New Zealand is good, but there are times when you get homesick, especially for the first month.
01:23But about the challenges, it's just an adjustment to the culture of New Zealand.
01:28They are back in the care of their loved ones in the Philippines.
01:32One day, Erica misses her grandfather, Edwin, and grandmother, Charice.
01:38I am very close to my grandfather and grandmother.
01:40We live with them.
01:42My grandmother's brother, Mama May, raised me for 20 years.
01:53It's been 2 years since Erica moved to New Zealand.
01:57That's why she had a big challenge to adjust to other countries that they are not there.
02:02We are very close to Erica.
02:04We have been together since we were young.
02:07We have been together since we were young.
02:09We are not that bad.
02:11We are not that bad.
02:12We are not that bad.
02:13We are not that bad.
02:14We are not that bad.
02:15We are not that bad.
02:17That's why on their first trip home, they planned a surprise reunion.
02:23Hello, Kapuso.
02:24We are here in Cebu and we are here with our Kapusos.
02:27We are the Kapusos.
02:30While on their trip home, they cannot hide their excitement.
02:36What they know is that their grandparents are just simple back-to-back boxes
02:41of gifts for their loved ones.
02:43They are not that bad.
02:44We are not that bad.
02:45We are not that bad.
02:46We are not that bad.
02:47We are not that bad.
02:48While on their trip home, they cannot hide their excitement.
02:50What they know is that their grandparents are just simple back-to-back boxes of gifts for their loved ones.
02:54Hello, Ma.
02:55This is Ud.
02:57Back-to-back boxes.
02:58I will deliver it.
03:00What are we waiting for?
03:01Let the surprise reunion begin!
03:06At first, Grandpa still has doubts.
03:18Surprise!
03:48If I have a chance to go home every Christmas,
03:51I will choose to celebrate Christmas here.
03:55No matter how many miles apart,
03:57no one can be equal to the love of a family.
04:03Whether there is a special occasion or not,
04:07let's give love to our loved ones
04:11while we are with them.
