00:00While there is life, there is hope.
00:02As long as we live, there is hope.
00:04And everyone here is hoping, not just for their families, but for themselves and for their dreams.
00:12And for us, as celebrities, as devotees,
00:17I am also hoping that one day,
00:20I won't be able to complete my family in this life.
00:25I am also hoping that one day,
00:27I want to be successful, just like everyone here.
00:30I want their dreams to come true.
00:33I want their business to grow.
00:36As a devotee, as an artist,
00:38I want to be a successful actor, just like everyone here.
00:42That's why I've been telling them,
00:44I've been calling them,
00:45I'm getting nervous.
00:46It's not because I'm going to talk to a lot of people.
00:49I'm getting nervous because I'm here as a devotee.
00:51I'm not a celebrity who prefers dancing.
00:54So I said,
00:55This is different.
00:56But I said,
00:57I'll just tell the truth.
00:58Why am I here?
00:59What am I?
01:00What did I do wrong to them,
01:02and to my father?
01:04I said,
01:05I'm also one of those young people,
01:07who used to be above the underpass.
01:12I remember,
01:13the first time I saw Sereno,
01:14I was with my dad and my mom.
01:17Just the two of us.
01:18My problem is,
01:19I just want to pass the school.
01:21And maybe,
01:22And maybe,
01:23maybe all the people here,
01:24can finish,
01:25and continue,
01:26continue in life.
01:27My family,
01:28until now,
01:29that's what I'm hoping for.
01:30That's why,
01:31God's mercy,
01:32I will give a good life,
01:34to my parents,
01:36and my family.
01:37Now,
01:38I also have a son,
01:39who is very,
01:41blessed to me.
01:43That's why,
01:44to me,
01:45it's a good feeling,
01:46that you're hoping,
01:48that you're happy.
01:49There are people who are hoping,
01:51that you'll be sad,
01:52until,
01:53you lose your faith.
01:55So to me,
01:56after you're hoping,
01:57your faith is still there.
01:59That's why I'm here.
02:01That's why we live,
02:02because we're hoping for God.
02:05It's very hard to ask,
02:06where do you get your hope from?
02:09Because it's not easy to find hope.
02:12Especially,
02:13when there are things,
02:15that were taken from you,
02:17or people took from you.
02:19That's where the lack of hope comes from.
02:23But for me,
02:24as I grow up,
02:26there are opportunities in my life,
02:28that I was able to prove,
02:31that when you have faith,
02:33and you don't give up,
02:35when it comes to hope,
02:37the Lord will always come through for you.
02:40There's a saying,
02:41Father, I don't know if you know that,
02:43like,
02:44I'm sure you do.
02:45Like,
02:46everybody thinks,
02:47everything has been taken away from Job.
02:50But Job's everything is God.
02:53And so,
02:54when you have God in your heart,
02:56then you're filled to the brim.
02:58For me,
02:59I get my hope from my family.
03:03There's no perfect family.
03:06You can't say,
03:07that there's a perfect family.
03:09But a family,
03:11that doesn't separate from each other.
03:13Even if you don't want each other,
03:16even if you don't want each other,
03:19but if you're there for each other,
03:22and you don't leave each other,
03:24and you pray for each other,
03:26even if it's the most difficult test for the family,
03:30I think that's where my hope comes from.
03:33Actually, Mother,
03:34because for me,
03:36we see,
03:37or we encounter our hope,
03:40when there are trials in our life.
03:43Because,
03:44as we say,
03:45in everyday life,
03:47when you leave your room,
03:49when you leave the door of your house,
03:52all the trials,
03:54all the bad deeds,
03:57all of it,
03:58it's all there,
03:59all the temptations.
04:01And sometimes,
04:02as a person,
04:03right,
04:04we're still walking,
04:06we're weak,
04:07we're losing hope.
04:10When that time comes,
04:12we don't have other people around us,
04:15we don't have our family,
04:17or our friends,
04:18or the people around us.
04:20Sometimes,
04:21it's a good encounter
04:23when you lose hope,
04:25because you feel like you're the one who's the most unlucky,
04:28you're the one who's the one who's the most in need of everything you see.
04:32It's like you can't get through the trials you're going through.
04:36But when you see other people,
04:39when you see that the situation is more difficult than yours,
04:42that's when you see that there's still hope.
04:45And that's when you'll know and face that,
04:48God is really there.
04:50Because whatever trials we're going through in our lives,
04:54as I said,
04:55there are times in our lives
04:58that we can't explain
05:00how we can solve the things
05:02that we think are impossible to fix.
05:05But as I said,
05:07for me,
05:08you have no other captain
05:10but your family.
05:12Your family and your faith in God.
05:15That's a bonus for your friends,
05:17your relatives,
05:18your work.
05:19But as I said,
05:21whatever trials we're going through in our lives,
05:24but if you have God in your heart and mind,
05:27and in your family,
05:28nothing is impossible.
05:30Everything has hope.
05:32Everything will have a solution.
05:34That's why,
05:35to all the people who are weak,
05:37to all the people whose hearts are broken,
05:39to all the people whose families are broken,
05:41to all the people who feel like
05:43they can't handle their illness
05:45or they're having a hard time with their problems,
05:48I've been through all of that in my life.
05:51My family has also been through that.
05:53But I have no other captain.
05:55And now,
05:56my foundation,
05:57the foundation of my family,
05:58God is really there.
06:00God is really the one we can approach
06:02and follow in all the trials
06:04that we're going through in our lives.
