00:00Take me back to that experience, in the hospital, and then her father saw her. What is the story?
00:20Of course, we are all shocked, especially me.
00:23In denial, because we didn't expect that. But then, of course, as a mother, you will accept it.
00:33And she didn't accept it right away.
00:40The acceptance became heavy, but it became okay after a while, little boy.
00:48You know why I'm talking about this? There are many mothers and children who are listening to this conversation.
00:54And this is a situation that is not isolated.
00:58The first reaction, can we say that?
01:04I gave birth to my eldest with cleft lip and palate.
01:08It means that her lips and palate are open.
01:16So, of course, when you give birth, the first thing you see is physical.
01:21We didn't expect that. I just cried and cried.
01:26But of course, I have to face what will happen.
01:31And I'm happy that I have a lot of support systems at that time.
01:35But listening to how your husband, to your first husband react,
01:39that it's a very painful experience, did you understand him?
01:45I understood him.
01:47What exactly did he say?
01:49I can't remember what exactly he said, but of course, he didn't accept it.
01:55Even for me, I understood that feeling because I also feel it.
02:01But of course, we need each other. We support each other.
02:06But he gave birth first.
02:08So, at that time, I had to,
02:15because a lot of people were asking why I didn't give birth during my first pregnancy.
02:20So, of course, that's the reason.
02:23Because I also need to protect my child and I also have marital problems.
02:29So, that's actually the main reason why we separated.
02:36And then, I got pregnant with my child.
02:42He didn't see it.
02:44He only saw it when I was able to forgive my uncle.
02:48We got back together again.
02:50He saw the baby. It was okay. It was operated.
02:53And at that time, I had to let go of all the pain.
03:00Because even for me, I might have done something wrong to him.
03:05I didn't think about it.
03:08I just needed to, because it's a very heavy burden.
03:11Of course, every time I see the baby, I don't want him to look for his father.
03:16He didn't see it. He wasn't with me.
03:18So, I introduced myself to him. He saw it before he left.
03:26I understand that you went back to what happened in that life
03:31so that you could understand your hug to Miguel to the children.
03:35But once, there's a story, you were in EDSA,
03:38a child saw a billboard.
03:40Yes, he saw it.
03:42He saw a billboard.
03:44I think it was Ms. Vicky Velo's billboard.
03:45Ms. Vicky Velo's?
03:47Yes, because she has a charity for those who have clefts.
03:51He said, Mommy, why does the child look like that on the billboard?
03:57I said, you know, son, you were like that before.
04:00But I'll explain to you when you grow up, what happened.
04:04You explained it to him.
04:06I explained it to him.
04:08We arrived in Australia. He already asked.
04:10And you explained it to him?
04:11At school, he gained consciousness because he looks different.
04:19His operation is not yet finished.
04:23There's another one.
04:26I asked him why he's asking me now.
04:29He said, Ma'am, he has a classmate who bullies him.
04:35Of course, I was like, how do I explain this?
04:39I prepared myself how to explain it to him.
04:45But my son is smart.
04:47He just told me, you don't need to explain because it's already finished.
04:52And then I apologized to him that he needs to go through what he went through.
05:01Think about it, he's only 3 months old.
05:03Operation. 6 months old operation.
05:06It's not yet finished.
05:07That's why I was happy that he's in Australia.
05:10Because in Australia, that's the main place for his operation.
05:38I'm sorry.
05:40I'm sorry.
05:42I'm sorry.
05:44I'm sorry.
