00:04Can you tell me, when you knew that your dad had cancer, did you go to the Philippines to take
00:10care of you?
00:11Yes, Tita Mel. Grabe yung pinagdaanan ko na yun. Grabe yung time na yun na malaman ko na may cancer
00:18si dad.
00:18I was very devastated po talaga. Maalala ko, hindi ako makatulog nung gabi yun.
00:24Yun, later on, nakareceive ako ng message na nasa hospital na ang dad ko and then parang sobrang gumuho yung
00:32mundo ko.
00:54Last time I saw you, you were still strong and healthy. I miss you so much.
01:03I miss you too, my baby. I miss you so much. I'm so happy to see you. I'm so proud
01:09of the person that you've become.
01:14I wanted to see you, Julie, before I die. There's so much that I want to say and there's so
01:24much forgiveness that I need to ask from you.
01:27I'm sorry that I took you from your mother. I'm sorry for all the years that I wasn't there when
01:36you needed me.
01:37I didn't give you the family that you deserve and I know that I wasn't the father I should have
01:43been.
01:44And so I just, I ask you to please forgive me, my baby. Please forgive me.
01:52No, dad. Dad, listen to me. You've been such a great father. And I thank God for you. I love
02:06you. I love you so much.
02:17Listen, you go to Thailand, okay?
02:21You go find your mom. I know she's been waiting to see you all these years.
02:26And when you see her, I want you to ask her if she can find it in her heart to
02:32forgive me too. Will you do that?
02:38Daddy.
02:46Papano natuklasan yung mother mo?
02:49Napakagaling lang po talaga ng tadhana, Tita Mel. Napakagaling. At napakabuti lang po talaga ni Lord sa akin.
02:55Kasi I was working in a hotel sa Abu Dhabi.
02:59And then one day, bumisita yung may-ari doon. And then I met the personal assistant. And then she really
03:06thought na I was Thai.
03:08So kinausap niya ako ng Thai. And then I told her na hindi ako marunong mag-Thai.
03:12But I am from Thailand. Yung mother ko is from Thailand. So yun, tinanong niya ako kung taga saan yung
03:18mother ko.
03:19But I told her, I don't know. I don't really know her well.
03:22Tapos yun, kinausap niya na ako. And then I could still remember that very day, Tita Mel.
03:27She was sitting doon sa sofa. And even yung kanyang accent, I could remember.
03:32Sabi niya sa akin, I know one day, I will be the one to find your mother for you.
03:38At ano nangyari nga doon sa inyong reunion, sa paghaharap ninyo for the first time in so many years.
03:47Para siyang, ano, Tita Mel, yung parang broken pieces sa buhay ko na parang unti-unting nabuo ulit yung pagkatao
03:55ko.
03:55And then, yun, yung finally nayakap ko yun na yung biological mother ko for the first time, Tita Mel.
04:01Binuhos ko lahat ng emotions ko. Parang, eto ako, may nanay ako.
04:06Hindi nyo pwede sabihin sa akin. Naputok ako sa buho.
04:10It's a dream come true for me. It's an answered prayer for me.
04:13At eto ako, hindi nyo pwede sabihin sa akin na wala akong nanay dahil eto ko siya.
04:19Kayakap ko na siya ngayon.
04:25Mom, you know, I'm the happiest daughter in the world now.
04:33Kasi, magkasama na ulit tayo.
04:36Hindi po kayo nawala sa isip ko.
04:39Lagi ko po kayo iniisip, lalo na po sa puso ko.
04:45At alam ko po na naaalala nyo rin po ako.
04:49So, kahit na matagal na po tayo, hindi nagkita, alam ko po naaalala nyo po ako palagi.
04:57Ito po tayo.
05:15And mommy, si daddy po, gusto pong humingi ng tawad ni daddy.
05:23For causing you pain, nung inlayo niya po kayo sa akin, at nung iwan ka po niya.
05:32Can you still forgive daddy?
05:38Can you please forgive him?
05:42Thank you, mommy.
05:49I love you so much, mommy.
05:53Mahal na mahal po kita.
06:05Can rock?
06:07Look, my look.
06:12Yes.
