00:00If Rizalino is not the target of Corona,
00:03let's change it to Jen, 31 years old.
00:05Thank you. And again, my name is Jen.
00:08Call center agent in the morning.
00:16Career beauty pageant contestant in the evening.
00:20I love watching beauty pageants.
00:22But I didn't think of joining because I was still young at that time.
00:26I think 17 years old.
00:28Then my friends pushed me to join that pageant.
00:33Because it's the first time in our barangay that there will be a Miss Gay.
00:41Even if the ramp is tiring,
00:43every hardship will be worth it if you can overcome Corona.
00:48Jen won Miss Feminine Look,
00:51Best in Swimsuit,
00:52Best in Casual Wear,
00:54Best in National Costume,
00:56People's Choice Award,
00:57and in her entire career as a beauty contestant,
00:59she has won 7 title crowns.
01:03For me, it's like you're a title.
01:10Because that's why I joined the beauty contest,
01:12to overcome Corona.
01:14That's the first mindset to join a beauty pageant.
01:20And then, when you overcome Corona,
01:23or even if you're just a runner-up,
01:24it's already important to you as a contestant.
01:28That's why you really need to push everything,
01:31do everything to win.
01:34She's the queen of pageants.
01:38The most important role that Jen plays is to be a good daughter to her parents.
01:44Jen is the breadwinner of their family.
01:47She's the one who helps me when I'm sick.
01:50She's the one who brings me to the hospital.
01:55She's the one who brings me to the groceries.
01:58She's the one who pays for everything.
02:00She pays for everything.
02:02Electricity, water.
02:05Dolores doesn't have a permanent job.
02:08So in order to help Jen with the groceries,
02:11she works as a driver and a masseuse for her neighbors.
02:17So that I can help her,
02:19I can also buy rice.
02:21I can help her with everything.
02:25I can buy medicine and maintenance.
02:30That's why I'm always busy.
02:31But when someone calls me, I'm always there.
02:33It's not like I have to work every day.
02:37After Jen's duty at the call center,
02:40she's the nurse of her stepfather.
02:43He had a stroke four years ago.
02:46It was his second stroke.
02:47In our house, it was me, my mom, and my stepdad.
02:52When I didn't have a job,
02:55he was the one who taught me.
02:57He was the one who supported me.
02:59So when he had a stroke,
03:01I wanted to give him back
03:03all the hard work he did when he was still strong.
03:06Because I saw his love.
03:09His love is not only for my mom, but also for me.
03:12Because whatever I want,
03:14I know that he knows what's right for me.
03:18He's supportive.
03:20He's a supportive stepdad.
03:22It's hard.
03:23Sometimes I think,
03:24when I see him lying down,
03:27he can't stand up.
03:29Sometimes I imagine
03:31how I would be in that situation.
03:35It's so hard.
03:36I get hurt because
03:39he's having a hard time.
03:40I see him having a hard time.
03:42But I can't do anything.
03:44Because we did everything for him.
03:47As long as he's still there,
03:49I will support him,
03:50I will help him.
03:51I will give everything for him.
03:54Good evening!
03:55And enjoy the show!
03:57Because of his family's support,
03:59Jen is 100% performance level
04:01in every contest that he will join.
04:05I'm happy.
04:07I can see that he's winning.
04:12I'm happy.
04:13For everything that he did,
04:16when I held the flowers
04:19that I gave him,
04:21the money,
04:22I'm happy.
04:23I can see that
04:24your son is happy
04:26when he joins the pageants.
04:29I do this not just for myself,
04:32not to show other people
04:34how good I am on stage,
04:37or what talent I have.
04:39I do this for my family.
04:43Because what you're going to win
04:48is not just for yourself,
04:50but also to help your family.
04:53The prize that you will get
04:56is your daily bread.
05:01Even though Jen is happy
05:02to be the breadwinner of her family,
05:05there are times
05:06when she feels tired and weak.
05:09When he arrived,
05:10he told me,
05:11my body hurts.
05:14He told me to lie down.
05:16I felt sorry for him.
05:17Just like when he arrived,
05:20he needs time.
05:23He told me,
05:24I need time to wake up.
05:27I don't want to wake up.
05:28Why?
05:29I feel sorry for him.
05:30Right?
05:32I just need a little sleep.
05:33When he arrived,
05:34I wanted to sleep more.
05:36I needed that.
05:37I needed that kind of life.
05:39That's why I just woke up.
05:40Even though I have blood in my heart,
05:42I feel sorry for him.
05:44I am working hard
05:45because there's nothing else to expect.
05:48Because you can't give up.
05:51You can't rest.
05:53Because if you give up,
05:55how can you have hope?
05:57That's why you need to work hard.
06:00Do everything.
06:01You can't lose your job.
06:03Especially if you're the one
06:04who is expected by your family.
