00:00I will miss her music, I will miss her laughter, I will miss her bend.
00:20Bilang anak, what are you missing the most?
00:24I miss my mom calling me every day and asking me how I am.
00:28I miss how wonderful she smelled.
00:31Always, little boy, I always look forward to seeing mom and smelling how wonderful she smelled.
00:38And that's one of the things that my mom has gifted me because days after she passed, I smelled her perfume.
00:47And it was bittersweet.
00:48I was happy that I smelled it but sad because I, mom is missing.
00:54I miss mom. I just miss mom being there. Calling me. I miss her laughter like you said.
01:02I miss conversations. I miss her making kwento of the things in the past.
01:08Her love life. I just miss her. I miss her presence.
01:13I'm talking about love life. Kayong mag-ina, pag nag-uusap kayo noon,
01:16Anong hindi mo malilimutan, Jackie, na payo ng tita Pilitz?
01:22About love?
01:22About love? About men?
01:24Oh my gosh.
01:25Because she was one of the wisest women.
01:28Yes, yes, yes.
01:30One of the wisest women I've met in my life.
01:33At pag nagpapaliwanag, napakaklaro.
01:36At saka kasi pinagdaanan.
01:37Correct.
01:37I think about love, she would just say, I remembered once, I had broken up.
01:43I think it was with Martin. Of course, many light years ago.
01:47But I was crying and crying and she goes, you know, Jack, sabi niya,
01:51just remember tomorrow is another day.
01:54The sun will shine tomorrow.
01:57Wouldn't you want to be there to welcome that day?
02:00I said, mom, what if I still feel the same way?
02:03Then you just have to deal with it.
02:05I can almost see the face of tita Pilitz say that.
02:08You just have to deal with it.
02:10Kung hindi okay today, eh di tomorrow it will be okay.
02:13That's what's stuck in my mind.
02:15It's like pain will be just temporary.
02:21Parang, yeah, it may be painful tomorrow.
02:23Maybe it may be more painful.
02:25Pero just deal with it.
02:27But she was so positive.
02:28And it brings me to that story.
02:32Alam niyo po nung kami lahat lumalaki dito sa Pilipinas at dito sa industriya ito.
02:37You used to be called the little rich girl.
02:39You know, you were kidnapped by your own father.
02:41My own father, I know.
02:42Naalala mo?
02:43Yes.
02:44I have photos also.
02:45And naalala ko rin yung kwento na siya pa ang nagpaliwanag,
02:48tita Pilita pa ang nagpaliwanag sa'yo na you were kidnapped because he loved,
02:52di ba?
02:53Remember?
02:53He loved you so much.
02:54Oo, yun ang kanyang paliwanag.
02:55Yes.
02:56At pagkatapos mo bumalik, she chose to forgive.
02:59Yes.
03:01Sobra.
03:02You know, that, that for me is unconditional love because I always say,
03:06my mom could have sent my dad to jail because I was kidnapped.
03:11But she didn't choose that path.
03:14She chose for me to know my dad and for me to grow up with my dad
03:18because she would always say, kaya lang nagawa ng dad mo yun
03:21because he loved you too much, hindi na nakapag-isip,
03:25that moment when he just didn't make sense.
03:28And listen, she was the aggrieved party, ha?
03:31Di ba?
03:31Pero siya yung nagpapaliwanag.
03:33Exactly.
03:33Na ito ang dahilan kung bakit nagawa.
03:35Oo, wag kang magalit sa tatay mo.
03:37Even when I was like 11 or 12, I was saying, how come, di ba?
03:41And that was her explanation.
03:43And for that, I always say, I will be so thankful and grateful to my mom
03:47because she could have looked the other way and I would not have known my dad.
03:51What a forgiving heart, no?
03:53Sobra.
03:54Kung ako yun, I don't know if I would be able to do that.
03:56Ako rin.
03:56Pero my mom, grabe naman.
03:59Immediate yun, ha?
04:00Grabe.
04:00Because when she was telling me that story, parang, ha?
04:04Kaagad.
04:05Di ba?
04:05Ang kanyang instinct was, what can we do?
04:08Ayun, yung pagsinasa.
04:09What can we do?
04:10Mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang anak.
04:12Oo.
04:12Ang kanyang, yung pagsinasa.
