01:01Good afternoon and welcome to Beyond the Headlines. I'm DJ Moises and today's conversation is brought to us by Coffee
01:08First.
01:09Ten years ago, the world saw a nine-year-old boy sitting on a sidewalk outside McDonald's doing his homework
01:20under the light because his family had lost their home.
01:24What happened to that little boy after the photograph disappeared from the headlines?
01:29Let's look deeper and think better. Today, we meet Daniel Cabrera, not as the boy from a viral photograph, but
01:38as the young man who grew up carried that story with him and is now writing the next chapter of
01:44his life.
01:45So, hello, Daniel. Welcome to Beyond the Headlines.
01:52Yes.
01:56Yes.
01:57Basically, how do you greet your teachers and your classmates?
02:00Hello to our classmates and to our friends and my family and also to our teacher. Love her name.
02:09Afternoon na.
02:10Afternoon.
02:11Oh, yes.
02:12Afternoon na. Sorry.
02:13No, no, no. No, no, no. Okay, no, no. Okay. Again. Sige, so Daniel, I'm sure, ma-recall pa ni
02:18mo tong moment when that photograph was taken. You were nine years old at that time?
02:23Ah, yes, sir. I was nine years old at that time.
02:25So, what brought you there, gany outside McDonald's, gany, to study?
02:30Um, brought me there, sir, is the only thing that I need to be success and I need to, um,
02:40parang, itaguyod ako ng pamilya sa Kalisod.
02:44Um, and I was looking there that every people around me, those kids with me, um, those people around me
02:54na dili arami tamandiri, um, dili arami nga permanente diri, that we have, ah, dreams too, that even though we
03:03live in the street, we're not, ah, not all people was like, ah, sama sa mga uban storiyang, ah, na
03:10-anasas kalsada is, ah, it's only thing they,
03:14only want is asking money for people, but they're wrong. I just want to prove them that not all kids
03:21or people in the street, um, stop dreaming because there's some kid that really dreaming high.
03:29Mm-hmm. So, nga no ganing kay De, comment ka nang, ka nang, ubay-ubay man sad ang mga locations
03:37sa Cebu nga na ay suga, no? And, if I remember, the reason nga na draw,
03:44mo ka nga in McDonald's because hayag siya, no? Yeah, pwede kang mag-tuon. But, why particularly that McDonald's nga
03:53branch?
03:53Um, actually, sir, um, there's a street food there, sir, ah, which is called Pungupongko. Ah, near at McDonald's too,
04:01sa itang sila, sir. And, every time mag-close ang Pungupongko, dito may mga tulog. Eh, dito may may stay,
04:09dito na may butang ang magamit.
04:11And, after that, um, since, well, I light dito, sir, like, very dark. Ah, yes, namin makatulogan,
04:19but, we can't see each other. We only see na maglihok mi. And then, that time, um, I saw
04:27McDonald's ice cream, um, sunday machine, like that. And, I saw a potential that it could
04:34be the light to continue my study and my homework. Ah, delete na kong magkalisod. And, that time, I used
04:43the McDonald's light to, to do my homework. So, how was life, no? Katong ni viral na nga photo? So,
04:56un sa may nausab sa imu ang
04:57kinabuhi on that particular moment, after ni viral ang photo? Um, a lot, sir. Um, it's very,
05:04very, very big changes in my life. Because, when I saw myself, that time, um, it's really
05:12different from me right now. Because, that time, sir, I saw myself, a kid, that, um, losing hope na
05:21makahumuan na skwila, the thinking that I be still like this, I still stay here, and I
05:28will never be get out of my place. Na, same na mi tanan nga, di rinagid mi. And then, the
05:35time
05:35that, um, a lot of people support me, a lot of people, um, came to me to, um, prove that
05:42there's no reason to stop dreaming. If you really want, um, to be successful, um, you need
05:51to do it. Until that time, happen. And I saw, I saw myself right now. That it's really
05:58too far. That I, um, I was hoping that time that, um, I still like this, uh, di rinagid
06:05na may kutob, wala na may padulungan. And wala ako'y mabuhat nga, nga, nga matagwid ang
06:12pamilya, and matagwid ang kagalingan. And then, right now, um, I was, I was really thankful
06:21successful because I am really near to be successful. And I saw a light na, sa una,
06:28ah, di rinagid ako kutob. And now, I was like, ah, daghan ba kumabot. Kaya na ko mga
06:34pangandoy na ko. And I'm not the only one that, there's a lot of people there at my back
06:39will keep pushing me to be successful. Mm-hmm. When pagbasa na ko itong news ba, I also
06:46notice nga, daghan sa doog ka nang ni pledge, no? Yes. To support you in your studies.
06:52Unsa pa yung mga laing pledges nga na-receive ni mo or mga, mga, mga assurances nga na-receive ni
06:58mo
06:59after that photo went viral. Um, the only thing, um, really important to me is like, um, the
07:07McDonald's and the Dila who, um, who really support me until now. To finish my school. Mm-hmm. And to,
07:18until, until, until go on, go on niya. To be a successful. Mm-hmm.
07:22Wala yung reason nga, kung nga nung muundang ko pangandoy. Mm-hmm. Now, you are now 20
07:29years old, no? Yes, sir. And then, pag tanaw na ko akong, when I did my research, the last
07:36report about you was, at least from, katong nakita na ko sa Google, was, ah, ah, in Rappler.
07:44Yan, ni-graduate ka at doog elementary sa Subangdako Elementary School. After that, kanang, wala
07:54na ko yung nakita ng news about you. So, murag na ay, kanang, years that followed, na you
08:02were out from the, from the radar, no? Or kanang, na wala ka from the headlines. So, kumusta ang
08:10kinabuhi ni mo after you graduated, grade six? Grade six, ah, so far, it's so good, sir.
08:17Mm-hmm. Um, like, I just focus on my school. That's, sir. And enjoy myself. Mm-hmm. And
08:23although there's a lot of people keep supporting me, sir. Um, interview. Mm-hmm. And I never
08:30thought na wala na ginagayan kita. But, yes, sir. That time, ah, it was good, happy, and, like,
08:40keep, keep schooling, sir. Mm-hmm. So, natoy ka nang, also, when that news came, you
08:47talked about becoming a policeman or a doctor. Yes, sir.
09:07Uh, police, yes. Yes, sir. Hantod ka ron? Yes, sir. I, I just keep dreaming nga mag-i-police,
09:14sir. Ang katong doktor ni mo nga dream? Um, um, I think 60%, sir. 60% nga? Yes, sir. Nga
09:24ganahan ni mo
09:24ipursu ang pagka-doktor. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Pero ang imong kurso ka ron is? HM. Sige. So,
09:31kung anong kaniman ang imong ipili ng kurso. Okay, sir. Um, I choose HM, sir, not because,
09:36um, mora ni akong gusto or like that. Mm-hmm. The reason why I choose HM, sir, if someday
09:42that I be a policeman and I be retired, at least, um, there's a second option that I use
09:50as HM student na pwede kong mga pang-apply to baho because I am retired as a
09:55police officer. Mm-hmm. And that was the reason why I choose HM, sir. Mm-hmm.
10:01Pero, sige, balik tangan. Anong ganahan gaya ka mag-police? Um, the reason for, sir,
10:06um, because my father at that time, and I, um, I know that when I was a kid, I, um,
10:13I hear a
10:14story between my mother and the attorney of my father. Mm-hmm. And then the attorney said,
10:20um, we need to down the case so makagawa siya sa jail. Mm-hmm. And I was, I was thinking
10:26that why she need an attorney pa makagawa sa kong papa. And I was like, question myself,
10:32what if I try to do my best, um, to become a lawyer? Mm-hmm. And then I help my
10:43father to
10:44get out of this jail. Mm-hmm. And then I never thought, um, wala pa ako walong sa case
10:49akong papa. Mm-hmm. And that time. Mm-hmm. And I was like, ma, um, what if
10:55mag-lawyer ko? Mm-hmm. And I was like, pa, what if pa mag-lawyer ko? Mm-hmm. And I'm
11:00the one who
11:01fight for your case. Then makagawa siya sa panahon ko. Mm-hmm. And then my father said
11:06that, um, yeah, you can, you can do whatever you want, man. The only thing is, um, when
11:14you become a lawyer, it's already too late. Because when you become a lawyer, make case,
11:21maybe, God. And I was like, maybe the other person, um, my brother, my family will need,
11:29um, I can help. Then that time na, na-realize na ko. When I know the case of my father,
11:37I was
11:38like, it's the reason if I be a lawyer and I fight for you and then that's the case. It
11:45is still wrong for me. Because even though I fight for you, when I know it is not the right
11:51thing, it's still the wrong thing that I need to do. And then that time, ah, na-change ko.
11:57And I asked my father, what if I be a police? And then, ano ko po, huh?
12:02Abi na ko ganahan ka mag-lawyer? Mm-hmm. I go, no. I changed my mind. I want to be
12:07a police.
12:08Why? I want to arrest some people like you. Eh, pa, what? No. He smiled. He was like,
12:20I think, you know, no, um, yeah, you can. And my father said that, that was my dream too.
12:27I want to be a police too. I want to be a police. Yes. But suddenly, um, due to like
12:33that,
12:35and do a lot of bad things, he did. That's the reason why the path he chose was changing.
12:42And I was like, oh, okay. Then I will be a police. I will prove it to you that,
12:51um, you, I, I am the second version of you. And your path is crossed, and I will straight your
12:58path.
12:59I was like, sige, ma, police ko. Ako yung sunod sa mga, wala ni muna human.
13:05Mm-hmm. And I will make sure that you will be proud of me someday.
13:09Mm-hmm. Na ako nakapadayan sa mga. And in that time, um, my father said,
13:14okay, if you want to be a police, make sure to take care of yourself.
13:17And then I keep, I keep, uh, put it in myself that my father said that,
13:23when you become a police, fight for the right one, not the wrong one.
13:28Mm-hmm.
13:29Never let anyone bribe for you.
13:33Mm-hmm.
13:33Kung ganahanggi ka mo, a good officer.
13:36And that's the reason, um, I came with my heart and my mind, na ganahanggi ko mga police.
13:43Mm-hmm.
13:44And then, yeah, that time. And right now, I keep continue.
13:47I want to be a police. I want to be a police.
13:49My heart, my brain, I want to become a police.
13:51I will never change that. I want to be a police.
13:53Mm-hmm.
13:54When I step up, um, first year college right now, this year.
14:02Mm-hmm.
14:02And I was thinking, if I be a police, I keep dreaming myself.
14:08I keep close my eyes and thinking, if I be a police, and someday I retire,
14:15Mm-hmm.
14:15And I have my own family, what would be happen?
14:18If I keep working.
14:20If, um, I keep getting up to support my family.
14:25Mm-hmm.
14:25And then, came up in my mind, um, do social media.
14:30I search.
14:31What's the course that, um, when I be retired, a policeman?
14:36Mm-hmm.
14:36What's the course that can help me to?
14:38Mm-hmm.
14:39And I saw HM.
14:41Mm-hmm.
14:41HM can apply hotel, abroad.
14:44Mm-hmm.
14:44Like, this can be a good second option for my life.
14:48Mm-hmm.
14:48So, I've ever retired someday as a policeman.
14:51At least, I have a second way na, um, to help my family.
14:57To help my own family.
14:58Makasupport lang yapan ko.
14:59Even though, I'm not still a police.
15:01Mm-hmm.

32:07When I got a fight, I just wanted to be a fight for my first time.
32:16I just wanted to be a fight for my first time.
32:22Some day, I got my second version, which is my second version.
32:27I just wanted to be a fight for my first time.
32:37I'm the only one who needs to step up.
32:39I'll continue to be successful.
32:44That's the only thing I would think about by that kid because he's strong.
32:48Now, when you were nine years old, at that time, you needed people to believe in you,
32:58because you're a young man.
32:59Now, you're already twenty years old.
33:03What do you mean that you also believe in God?
33:09What do you mean that you will continue to push?
33:11How do you feel like a police and a better family man?
33:15What do you mean that you've learned from today?
33:18First, God.
33:20Second, my family.
33:22And third, to my future.
33:26The reason why I have strength to pursue my dreams, sir.
33:31Okay.
33:32It's because of God, sir.
33:36It's because of the reason that I can see my dreams.
33:39And it's because of the reason why I feel like it.
33:44It's because of the way that I have strength to pursue my dreams.
33:47Because he wants me to be a strong knight.
33:52I feel like I'm built up in my life and I've had anything to do with it.
34:03Because I can see him that I would be like,
34:09you need to face it and I will guide you.
34:11And second, my family, sir. Because, they're the reasons, sir, for what I'm going to fight.
34:21Besides, I keep looking at my back, that I have a family.
34:27I have a lot of trouble. I have no father.
34:33I have no father. I have no father. I have no father.
34:37I have no father.
34:41Is this a true life? Or maybe this is just my life?
34:46I keep asking my question until now.
34:49Is this a life or just me who had this life?
34:55And then, sir, this is the reason,
34:59what I'm going to do is my daughter.
35:03Because, if there's one person that I'm beating for the most,
35:10which is my daughter.
35:12Because, to all my mistakes, failure,
35:18to all bad things,
35:20that I decided on my life,
35:23because my daughter is on the side.
35:25I keep the top of my shoulder.
35:29I said,
35:30okay, just fight.
35:32I'll be happy.
35:34Okay, continue, if you want me.
35:37You're a important person.
35:39If you want me,
35:40okay, I'll be able to do it.
35:43If you want me,
35:44I'll be able to do it.
35:45Okay, I'll be able to do it.
35:47If you want me.
35:49To all my family, sir,
35:51to all people around me,
35:54I really think for us,
35:55akong ati, sir.
35:57Kaya never gave us a loss of hope.
35:59Bisag,
36:00na siya'y family.
36:01Na siya'y anak.
36:02Hmm.
36:03Nag-support gawin siya na ako, sir.
36:05Support siya sa kamang.
36:06I'm proud of her, sir.
