01:27 We are now ready to announce the names of the two Starstruck Ultimate Survivors.
01:35 [Music]
01:42 [Music]
01:51 Jasmine, why are you packing so much? We're just going to a vacation in the Philippines.
02:00 Mama, don't worry. Papa might hear you. I don't want to stay here anymore.
02:05 What?
02:07 We're going to a foreign group in the Philippines.
02:09 [Music]
02:16 I don't know, my child.
02:18 Why? Are you happy here in Cui?
02:22 It's not important if I'm happy or not.
02:28 No, you're important.
02:31 Here, you can buy everything you want.
02:35 You can study what you don't understand, how to be rich.
02:40 In the Philippines, what will we gain there?
02:45 Mama, we're not happy here.
02:48 Yes, we have material things, but we don't have a voice.
02:53 Mama, it's up to you. I don't want to stay here anymore.
02:57 I don't want to be here.
02:58 Papa, move.
03:01 My love, my love.
03:04 Where were you? I've been looking for you for two hours.
03:07 I was talking to Mama.
03:09 You're not going anywhere. Come with me.
03:11 I'm telling you, come with me.
03:13 I don't want to stay here.
03:15 Come with me.
03:17 Get out.
03:19 Get out.
03:21 Get out.
03:23 Mama, don't leave me.
03:26 Get out.
03:27 Mama, stop it.
03:30 Stop it.
03:34 Mama.
03:36 Stop it.
03:53 We're not happy here.
03:56 Yasmin Curdy grew up in a foreign country where women have no voice.
04:12 That's why at a young age, Yasmin learned how to be a fighter.
04:17 Not for herself, but for her mother.
04:22 Are you going to buy this apartment?
04:23 Is there no shortage?
04:25 This is not a market.
04:28 I didn't buy it for a bargain.
04:30 It's already cheap.
04:32 My apartment is nice.
04:39 Okay, we'll buy it.
04:42 Let's buy it.
04:47 Okay.
04:48 You won't regret buying this apartment.
04:56 One month advance, one month purchase.
04:59 And you don't have a problem with the water and electricity.
05:03 Okay, so, let's meet in a month so I can get your money.
05:11 And good luck.
05:13 Nice meeting you guys.
05:16 Bye.
05:17 Mom?
05:27 Mom, are you blaming me if we leave again?
05:33 No, I'm just scared.
05:43 Because I know what our life will be like here.
05:46 What if I save all the money I have?
05:49 Mom, I'll find a way.
05:51 I'll work.
05:53 But my child, you're not used to this life.
05:57 Mom, I love you.
05:59 I don't care as long as we're together.
06:02 Mom, do you know that when we're together, it's too much for me.
06:11 Mom, you're right. I just want you to be happy.
06:15 Mom, can you do that for me?
06:22 Yasmin's face was deliberately made to be a famous artist.
06:39 This was also Yasmin's dream when she was young.
06:43 But her father, who is a Lebanese, was a foreigner here.
06:47 So when Yasmin got a chance to go back to the Philippines,
06:51 she tried to fulfill her long-cherished dream.
06:56 Ready, direct.
06:57 Okay, roll VTR.
06:59 Since I started using the Forever Beautiful shampoo,
07:02 many noticed that my hair's color changed.
07:05 It really became Forever Beautiful.
07:07 So you should also buy the Forever Beautiful shampoo.
07:11 I'm sorry, Yasmin.
07:13 You're not the one who was chosen.
07:15 If we're the only ones who will follow, then you should be the one we'll get.
07:19 But there are other clients who will follow.
07:22 Is there no hope?
07:25 There's no hope.
07:28 Because the shoot is next week.
07:30 But don't worry.
07:33 We have other clients.
07:35 If there's a role that suits you, I'll include it in your portfolio.
07:39 Thank you.
07:41 Okay, I'll just call you.
07:42 Okay.
07:43 Don't be sad.
07:47 There are still other opportunities.
07:49 It's not like that, Esther.
07:52 It's okay even if I wasn't chosen.
07:55 But I'm still embarrassed.
07:57 Because we don't have money anymore.
08:00 And it's almost New Year.
08:02 I want to give this to my mom.
08:05 This is all I have.
08:11 Mom.
08:25 Mom, why?
08:29 Our life is so hard.
08:32 We're not ready.
08:35 Son, I called your dad earlier to ask for an assistant.
08:42 He won't listen.
08:46 He wants us to go back there.
08:49 Mom, if he doesn't want to give it to us, why are we forgetting?
08:54 We can still eat, right?
08:56 Son, let's just go back to Kuwait.
08:59 Let's live there again.
09:01 Mom, if it's because of money,
09:10 that's why we're going back there,
09:13 I don't want to.
09:15 Mom,
09:19 because we're not ready at the table,
09:24 that's why we're going back there.
09:26 We can still be happy even if we're not ready, right?
09:33 We can still be happy even if we're not ready, right?
09:38 Mom.
09:39 Mom.
09:41 Mom.
10:09 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
10:11 Happy New Year!
10:14 Mom, we can still be happy even if we're not ready.
10:18 Mom,
10:23 just a minute.
10:24 Mom, for you.
10:31 Thank you.
10:59 They're just joking, but our secret is different, right?
11:03 Even if he's handsome,
11:06 I can't forget him.
11:28 I'm so stupid for being jealous.
11:30 It's all true.
11:32 Yasmin,
11:41 do you know what we're doing here?
11:43 I'm just relaxing.
11:45 Why do you suddenly want to watch "It Bulaga"?
11:49 Because other artists are discovering
11:52 by watching shows like this.
11:54 So, you mean,
11:56 you want to be discovered?
11:58 I guess so.
11:59 Because I'm cute,
12:01 I'm talented,
12:03 I can be famous.
12:04 And you don't know,
12:06 if I become famous,
12:07 we won't have money problems.
12:09 Fish, it's closed.
12:22 I'll open it for you.
12:23 Brother, we've been here for a while.
12:25 Please, have some consideration.
12:29 Fish, I can't.
12:30 I'll go again.
12:31 I'll just stay here.
12:33 Whatever he does,
12:38 he still can't achieve the fame and success
12:41 that Yasmin dreams of.
12:43 Until one day,
12:45 Son, why haven't you changed yet?
12:51 Let's eat.
12:52 Let's eat.
12:53 Mom, what's this?
12:59 This application is going to Singapore.
13:03 I have someone I can talk to.
13:09 I promised him that I'll help him find a job abroad.
13:13 Mom, are you going to leave me?
13:15 Mom, I won't allow it.
13:17 Son, we need to eat.
13:19 We can't eat anymore.
13:21 I won't pay for your tuition.
13:23 Mom, I don't want to.
13:25 I don't want to.
13:26 Yasmin, listen to me.
13:28 We need to eat.
13:30 Mom, give it to me.
13:32 Fine.
13:44 Do you want to leave?
13:45 Leave.
13:47 You're all the same.
13:50 You're all just like dad.
13:51 You don't love me.
13:53 Leave me.
13:59 Leave me alone.
14:00 I'm sorry.
14:03 I'm not trying to hit you.
14:05 Son, I just want you to understand me.
14:10 Understand?
14:14 You don't understand me.
14:19 Mom, we don't have anything to eat everyday.
14:23 Even if it's just dry food.
14:25 As long as we're together,
14:29 we can eat together.
14:31 Mom, I'm happy.
14:34 Son.
14:36 What?
14:40 Mom, dad is gone.
14:45 You're still together.
14:46 You're still together.
14:47 Okay.
14:50 I'm not going to leave you.
14:55 We're not going to be apart.
14:59 I won't continue my plan.
15:01 Mom.
15:06 Thank you.
15:15 Mom, we're still relatives.
15:18 I can feel that.
15:21 I love you.
15:23 I love you.
15:25 [sobs]
15:53 What are we doing here?
15:55 There's an audition here for RTSS 7.
15:59 You're really going to do everything?
16:02 You're not trying anything.
16:05 Of course, I'll do everything for my mom.
16:08 I want to help her because I love her.
16:10 Your mother was there.
16:17 Bird people, bird.
16:22 You see?
16:23 You killed your mother.
16:25 You killed your mother.
16:26 No.
16:28 I did not kill my mother.
16:30 Can you say it in speech, guys?
16:34 Watch out.
16:36 Watch out.
16:40 I'm going to be a star.
16:41 Oh.
16:49 How was your audition?
16:51 I don't know.
16:52 I think I didn't pass.
16:55 Starstruck passed
16:59 in the dreams of many young people.
17:03 One of them,
17:05 the one who was chosen to pass,
17:07 we'll get to know
17:08 because of his smile that shines with charisma,
17:12 Rainier Castillo.
17:19 Starstruck's ultimate survivors are...
17:22 Rainier Joseph Castillo is candidate number one.
17:37 Rainier is currently enrolled in Ama Computer University.
17:41 Our male winners are...
17:45 Dion Joseph Ignacio,
17:48 Nico Villar,
17:49 Alvin Aragon,
17:51 Harry Brown,
17:53 and Patrick Zamora.
17:54 Too bad.
17:57 You didn't pass.
17:58 You didn't make it to the finalists.
18:01 It's okay, Uncle.
18:03 I knew I would lose in the beginning.
18:06 You're still a kid.
18:08 You don't trust yourself.
18:10 You know, Rainier,
18:11 as your manager,
18:12 you should know that trust is important.
18:16 Uncle, you're the only one who's trying to join
18:19 those kinds of contests.
18:21 You're wasting your time.
18:22 You're still a kid.
18:23 If you do well,
18:24 you'll go far.
18:26 I'm sure you'll have a lot of fans.
18:29 Uncle, you're so full of yourself.
18:31 That won't happen.
18:33 I don't know about you,
18:34 but you're the one who's smiling the most among all the losers.
18:37 Huh?
18:39 I'll call you if I have a project for you.
18:41 Okay, Uncle. Take care.
18:43 Okay.
18:45 Uncle's so annoying.
18:47 He has a point.
18:49 I just don't know why you don't trust yourself.
18:52 You're still a kid.
18:54 You're still a kid.
18:56 Let's go home.
18:58 Maybe he's looking for you.
18:59 Rainier grew up without trust.
19:02 He always feels like he's not noticed.
19:07 I know.
19:08 You eat well.
19:12 You should eat well.
19:14 You might be starving.
19:16 I'm fine, Grandma.
19:18 You're the one who doesn't go out often.
19:22 Maybe you don't miss me anymore.
19:25 My grandson even acted in a drama.
19:28 That's not good.
19:30 Maybe you want to give me a treat.
19:36 Grandma,
19:39 I really miss you.
19:43 Go inside.
19:48 Your mom's waiting for you.
19:50 She has something important to tell you.
19:54 I'll go ahead.
19:58 Okay, Grandma.
19:59 Okay.
20:00 I'll go ahead.
20:01 Mom,
20:15 do you have a problem?
20:17 Sit down.
20:27 I've been having problems in the hotel for a long time.
20:31 I can't earn money.
20:33 The employees removed me.
20:37 I'm the only one who was removed.
20:40 That's why we need to save money.
20:45 Mom,
20:47 don't worry.
20:49 We'll be fine.
20:50 Mom,
20:54 I can find a job to pay for the expenses.
20:57 No, I don't want to.
20:58 But I'm your parent.
21:01 I'll give you what you need.
21:05 I'll do everything.
21:09 You can count on me.
21:10 I'll go to sleep.
21:22 Rainier's family went through a lot of trials
21:25 since they were stuck in poverty.
21:27 But during those times,
21:29 Rainier and his mother proved
21:32 that their strength and unity is one.
21:36 One for each.
21:37 How are you, my son?
22:01 What's new with you?
22:05 Nothing.
22:06 I'm trying to be a model.
22:12 But they said
22:15 I can't be a model.
22:17 I don't know what they saw in me.
22:21 Really?
22:24 Why didn't you tell me?
22:26 Because you're too busy.
22:30 But I understand you.
22:33 I know it's hard to be a single parent.
22:36 You're a big boy now.
22:41 I don't know you anymore.
22:46 We live in the same house,
22:49 but we hardly talk.
22:52 I wish I could tell you
22:58 because
23:02 because
23:03 I'm having a hard time.
23:11 Since I lost my job,
23:14 I feel like
23:15 I'm not single anymore.
23:19 I know you're having a hard time.
23:23 And it's good that I know you
23:27 because I want to help.
23:31 And it's not true
23:35 that you're not worth it.
23:37 Because money is not important in this world.
23:41 But...
23:46 Mom, why did I lose my dad?
23:48 We have to accept that.
23:52 Because there are things in this world
23:55 that we can't do.
23:57 I don't want that to happen to us.
24:00 I don't want to be apart from you.
24:02 It won't happen.
24:08 No, it won't.
24:11 Because...
24:12 Since then,
24:19 Rainier has a new confidence in himself.
24:23 He also wrote his own book.
24:27 "The Power of Self-Confidence"
24:28 He also wrote his determination
24:31 to help his family.
24:33 Uncle.
24:44 I thought you're not coming.
24:47 Is that okay?
24:49 I already agreed.
24:51 So, I should go, right?
24:53 What's here?
24:56 Sit down.
24:57 What I want you to do
25:00 is to do your best.
25:03 Give it your best.
25:05 For you guys.
25:07 I'll do my best.
25:09 I promise.
25:10 You can do it.
25:13 You can do it.
25:14 I'm Rainier Joseph Castillo.
25:16 I'm 5'5" in height.
25:18 And I'm 17 years old.
25:20 I want to be a star because I want to help my parents.
25:22 Rainier, what are your talents?
25:26 Acting.
25:27 What?
25:28 You don't have time for me?
25:30 You're always busy.
25:32 You're always busy with work.
25:34 Bro.
25:36 We fought with Airpods at home.
25:39 Let's just drink.
25:42 Dad.
25:43 Dad.
25:46 Let's go, Dad.
25:49 I dream.
25:50 I believe.
25:51 I survive.
25:53 Yasmine Rainier is an ordinary young woman.
25:56 She's also Jeneline Mercado.
25:58 But sometimes,
25:59 she doesn't dream of being a part of the showbiz world.
26:03 This is despite the belief of others
26:05 that Jeneline is destined to be a famous star.
26:09 The first person I'm going to call is the name of the woman.
26:13 Then, followed by the question.
26:16 The man.
26:17 [Heartbeat]
26:25 Starstruck's Ultimate Survivors are...
26:28 [Heartbeat]
26:33 [Static]
26:37 [Music]
26:40 Lord,
26:44 Teach me my future.
26:52 Teach me to serve You,
27:00 To give my heart to the one I love.
27:11 To wait for no one but You.
27:19 Okay, take care.
27:20 Take care.
27:22 Oh, wait, Jeneline.
27:29 You know, in the whole choir,
27:31 you have the best voice.
27:33 Oh, no.
27:34 You're not.
27:35 I'm not kidding.
27:37 Aside from your beautiful voice,
27:39 you have a beautiful child.
27:41 Thank you.
27:42 You know, I know someone in the showbiz.
27:45 Do you want me to help you?
27:46 Because I'm sure,
27:47 once you become a star,
27:49 you'll be famous.
27:51 I don't know.
27:52 Oh, you're being shy again.
27:55 I don't like showbiz.
27:59 I also have modeling.
28:01 That's enough.
28:02 You're beautiful and your voice is beautiful.
28:05 Oh, no.
28:06 I'm still studying.
28:09 I'll just concentrate on that.
28:12 I'll leave now.
28:15 Okay, take care.
28:16 Okay.
28:17 Wherever Jeneline goes,
28:19 she's always praised
28:21 because of her beautiful face and voice.
28:24 But sometimes,
28:26 she's not serious about it
28:28 because she's content with being simple.
28:32 Jeneline, open the door.
28:33 There's someone inside.
28:34 Can't you hear?
28:35 I can't hear.
28:36 Jeneline.
28:42 Brother,
28:43 Dad!
28:44 Dad is home.
28:45 Let's go.
28:46 Oh, my God.
28:47 Why did you suddenly go home?
28:49 Didn't you finish your contract in Saudi for a year?
28:51 I had a problem with our company.
28:54 I tried to find a way up to the last minute,
28:56 but I couldn't.
28:57 I'm sorry.
28:59 I suddenly went home.
29:01 Does that mean you won't go back to Saudi?
29:04 I don't think so.
29:05 Let's not talk about it.
29:07 I haven't been in the Philippines for a long time.
29:09 I know, Mommy.
29:11 I miss Dad.
29:13 I miss you, too.
29:14 But the family didn't know
29:16 that it was just a matter of time.
29:19 It didn't take long
29:20 for Jeneline's parents to save up money.
29:24 Until...
29:25 Until...
29:26 Mom?
29:39 Dad?
29:41 What's this?
29:42 Why did you give me this?
29:45 Son,
29:46 this house is too big for us.
29:51 So,
29:53 we'll just look for a smaller house.
29:56 Mom, what's the truth?
30:01 Madam,
30:05 the truth is,
30:08 since your dad went home
30:10 in Saudi for a year,
30:12 we haven't been able to pay the bank.
30:14 That's why the house was taken by the bank.
30:20 I don't understand.
30:23 What happened?
30:25 They're sending us away, Son.
30:28 This house is not ours anymore.
30:31 Where will we live?
30:35 Where will we move?
30:39 All my friends are here.
30:42 I know you don't want to leave.
30:45 I don't want to either,
30:46 but we can't do anything.
30:48 We don't know where we'll move to,
30:51 but God won't leave us.
30:53 He won't give us a problem
30:55 that we can't handle.
30:56 Son, pray for her.
30:58 I won't.
30:59 [music]
31:02 [music]
31:05 [music]
31:08 [music]
31:36 Jeneline's family was forced to move to a smaller apartment.
31:40 Although Jeneline wasn't affected by this change,
31:44 her parents were deeply affected.
31:47 There.
31:51 You know,
31:54 if we fix this house,
31:55 it will look nice.
31:57 Yes, Dad.
31:59 This house we moved into is nice.
32:03 Yes.
32:04 [sobs]
32:05 Mommy?
32:10 I'm fine.
32:13 Mommy, don't think too much about our situation.
32:19 No, I'm thinking about you two.
32:23 This is not the kind of life I'm dreaming of for you two.
32:26 This is just temporary.
32:30 When we're already relieved,
32:34 we'll move into a bigger house, right, Daddy?
32:37 Yes, that's true.
32:39 I'm thinking about you, son.
32:44 I'm really ashamed of what happened.
32:47 You shouldn't have gone through this.
32:51 That's why I'm ashamed of you.
32:53 Mommy,
32:56 this house is already fine for me.
33:02 I just want a simple life.
33:05 What's important to me is you two and Daddy.
33:10 But it seems like the trial of Jeneline's family is not yet over.
33:31 Brother,
33:32 please stop it.
33:33 Where's your father?
33:35 He went to the barangay to ask for something.
33:38 Brother,
33:46 you're so rude.
33:50 We should leave this house.
33:55 Why?
33:57 The water is rising,
33:59 it's dangerous if we don't leave.
34:01 Where will we stay?
34:03 Let's stay here.
34:06 I don't want to.
34:07 If we can't go anywhere, I don't want to leave this place.
34:10 Mom,
34:12 what's happening to us?
34:14 We're facing the same problem.
34:16 Mom, let's not lose hope.
34:19 Let's just go to the barangay.
34:22 Wait!
34:23 We need to move back to Jeneline's house.
34:50 Her mother told me that the water is rising.
34:55 Mommy?
35:07 I'll wait outside.
35:10 Why?
35:12 I don't know.
35:15 I feel like I'm being haunted.
35:19 I don't know why.
35:21 I feel like she's the one who taught us.
35:24 Don't blame God, Mom.
35:28 Who else should I blame?
35:32 We're doing everything we can to be good people,
35:37 and this is happening to us.
35:39 We can still fight.
35:43 Let's just believe in Him.

36:16 [singing]
36:30 [singing]
36:32 Turn that off. I need to tell you something.
36:48 Why are you smiling?
36:51 I came from my friend's house.
36:54 She told me that Channel 7 has a contest.
36:58 What contest?
36:59 It's like an artist search.
37:02 I know you're shy, but why don't you try?
37:05 I don't think I'm good at that.
37:09 Let's see. Maybe it can help us.
37:14 What do you think?
37:16 I'll join.
37:19 You?
37:20 When will you be able to do that?
37:22 When?
37:28 [car engine]
37:29 Mom, what are you doing?
37:40 I'm praying.
37:42 I feel that this is the change of our lives.
37:48 Mom, I'm nervous.
37:51 I might not be able to do it. I'm shy.
37:56 Do you have time to back out?
37:58 No, we're not going to back out.
38:04 We're almost there.
38:07 Let's continue this.
38:08 You said that there might be a plan O for us.
38:13 I can't act.
38:18 What are you doing?
38:19 I told you not to come back.
38:22 I can't sing.
38:23 [singing]
38:47 The 14th Starstruck finalist is the best dancer in the group.
38:52 She's cute, cute, funny, and funny.
38:57 This is how I will describe her friends.
39:00 She's Mark Angelo Heras.
39:02 The moment has arrived.
39:04 Will it be Yasmin Curdi?
39:07 Jenelyn Mercado?
39:09 Rainer Castillo?
39:11 Or Mark Heras?
39:14 [cheering]
39:15 It's tiring.
39:27 It's like there's no one here.
39:28 It's so quiet.
39:29 No.
39:30 [cheering]
39:31 It's my birthday.
39:35 [singing]
39:37 Happy birthday, happy birthday.
39:41 Happy birthday to you.
39:45 Yes!
39:47 It's my birthday.
39:51 Happy birthday, Mark.
39:55 Happy birthday, Mark.
39:59 We can eat now.
40:00 Let's eat.
40:02 This is my gift to you.
40:06 Hey!
40:07 This is my gift.
40:08 Open it.
40:09 Hey! 3650!
40:16 Wow!
40:17 This is awesome.
40:19 Next year,
40:23 car.
40:26 [cheering]
40:27 Thank you, brother.
40:30 Thank you, Mark.
40:33 Mark was just a kid when his parents separated.
40:36 But Mark's father never lacked in giving him love and material things.
40:44 You know what?
40:49 We've been on and off for a while.
40:51 Maybe we can request for something.
40:54 You know, that...
40:55 You want to hug me already?
40:57 I don't know you that well.
40:59 I don't know if you're that serious with me.
41:01 I heard that you're a girl.
41:03 Is that true?
41:04 Who knows?
41:06 Tell me who told you that.
41:08 I'll tell you.
41:09 Me!
41:10 You're so fat.
41:12 Sheila!
41:13 You're really a girl.
41:16 You're going to take us both?
41:18 Mark, is that true?
41:21 Wait a minute.
41:23 I have to go.
41:24 I'll come back later.
41:25 Okay, bye.
41:27 Jun, don't tell me this.
41:30 Tell me that's not true.
41:32 Tell me that's not true.
41:33 But I'm sorry, brother.
41:34 I watched it on TV.
41:35 It's true.
41:36 It's a news to our country.
41:38 We even entered the Pyramids Camp.
41:40 But how did that happen?
41:42 That can't happen because I saved everything.
41:47 I gave it to them.
41:48 I invested.
41:49 Then, I got the Pyramids Camp.
41:51 I invested.
41:52 I invested.
41:53 I invested.
41:54 I gave it to them.
41:55 I invested.
41:56 Then, what happened?
41:57 We're both the same.
41:58 I have 2 million.
41:59 How did she…
42:00 We're both fooled.
42:01 I went to their office.
42:04 But the problem is, it's closed.
42:06 We were really fooled.
42:09 Are you okay?
42:11 I'm okay.
42:12 Are you sure?
42:13 Mark.
42:16 Mark.
42:17 Brother, just be busy.
42:23 Maybe we can do this.
42:25 Dad.
42:26 Hi, uncle.
42:27 Hi, Mark.
42:28 How are you?
42:29 Dad.
42:30 Are you okay?
42:31 Of course.
42:32 Why are you acting like a fool?
42:33 I'm fine.
42:34 Uncle.
42:35 We're just talking.
42:36 It's okay.
42:37 We're just talking about the office.
42:39 Dad.
42:40 Are you sure?
42:41 Of course.
42:42 Yeah.
42:43 He's okay.
42:44 I know he's okay.
42:45 Mom.
42:46 Mark.
43:14 Dad.
43:15 Mark.
43:16 What?
43:18 You're hungry again?
43:19 Yes.
43:20 I almost forgot.
43:24 But I'll buy later.
43:26 I forgot to buy groceries.
43:27 I'm sorry.
43:28 Dad.
43:31 How long are you going to lie to me?
43:34 What?
43:36 Why would I lie to you?
43:38 Why?
43:40 Dad, I know.
43:41 I know.
43:42 You were fooled by the pyramids scam.
43:43 Where did you hear that?
43:44 Dad, please.
43:46 Admit it.
43:47 Later.
43:51 I'll buy later.
43:52 I'll buy groceries.
43:53 Take this.
43:54 Eat outside.
43:55 Dad.
43:57 What?
43:58 Stop it.
44:00 What are you thinking?
44:01 Sorry.
44:03 I'll go now.
44:04 Stop it.
44:08 [music]
44:10 Are you okay, Mark?
44:23 I'm okay.
44:25 Why are you thinking so deeply?
44:28 Huh?
44:29 Don't understand me.
44:31 I'm okay.
44:32 Are you sure?
44:33 Yes.
44:36 Wait.
44:37 Where are you going?
44:38 I'm going home.
44:39 I'm waiting for my airpods at home.
44:41 You're so naughty.
44:44 It's our month's day.
44:45 You're leaving already?
44:46 Later.
44:48 You know that I'm at home before it gets dark.
44:50 I'm waiting for my airpods.
44:52 Did you ever not get what your dad wants?
44:55 No.
44:57 I can't do that to him.
44:58 You love your dad, right?
45:02 A lot.
45:05 He's so kind.
45:06 He gives me everything.
45:09 He makes me tired everyday.
45:13 I was adopted when I was a kid.
45:15 So, whatever happens,
45:18 I won't do anything in return.
45:21 You should leave now.
45:26 Your dearest dad might be waiting for you.
45:29 I know.
45:30 Okay, I'll see you later.
45:32 Let's go.
45:33 Mark admitted that he grew up in a farm.
45:38 But all of this happened
45:40 when they ran out of money
45:42 in a pyramid scam.
45:44 It caused a huge shock to Mark's father.
45:47 But despite what happened,
45:49 Mark's father still became Mark's inspiration.
45:53 What's that?
45:54 Drink this.
45:56 Why are you drinking?
45:57 I'm just thirsty.
46:01 I have a problem.
46:02 What's that?
46:04 What are you doing?
46:06 Why are you drinking?
46:09 Your dad is so stupid.
46:14 Your dad is so stupid, Mark.
46:20 I'm so stupid.
46:29 I shouldn't have invested in that.
46:31 I saved up all my money.
46:34 I was fooled by an investment.
46:37 It's gone.
46:40 Dad.
46:41 No, it's my fault.
46:43 Mark, listen to me.
46:45 It's my fault.
46:46 All of my dreams for you,
46:50 we're just together.
46:52 I can't give you anymore.
46:54 It's all gone.
46:56 Dad,
46:57 cellphones, cars,
46:59 they're not important anymore.
47:01 Dad,
47:03 think of me as your family.
47:06 I can't leave you.
47:08 I have a problem.
47:10 Wow.
47:26 Alright.
47:27 Happy birthday.
47:28 Happy birthday, Mark.
47:31 Thank you.
47:32 This is mine.
47:34 Mark, I'm sorry.
47:36 This is all I can afford.
47:40 I spent a year on this.
47:42 The car.
47:43 I know you can understand.
47:46 Hey, it's new.
47:49 It's so new.
47:50 Alright.
47:51 Happy birthday.
47:53 Thank you.
47:55 It's beautiful.
47:56 It suits you.
47:57 It suits you.
47:58 It suits you.
47:59 You're so handsome.
48:00 You're so handsome.
48:01 You're right.
48:02 Happy birthday.
48:04 Thank you.
48:05 By the way,
48:06 are you going to recover from the pyramids?
48:09 Huh?
48:10 It's okay.
48:13 It's just money.
48:14 You know what, Jun?
48:16 Whatever happens,
48:18 I'll get my money.
48:20 It's okay.
48:23 I'll get my money.
48:25 Anyway, this is Mark.
48:27 That's right.
48:29 By the way,
48:31 why don't you join the Artista Search in GMA?
48:34 They're looking for teenagers like you.
48:36 You're so handsome.
48:37 You can do it.
48:38 I'll join the Artista Search in GMA.
48:41 I'm sure you can do it.
48:42 You're so handsome.
48:43 That's right, Mark.
48:44 You can do it.
48:45 What?
48:46 You'll win 1 million there.
48:48 Jun.
48:49 Him?
48:51 He's shy.
48:52 You can do it, Mark.
48:53 You can do it.
48:54 You can do it.
48:55 Just give it a try.
48:56 It's okay.
48:57 You can do it.
48:58 I'm really shy here.
48:59 But the people who join there,
49:01 the models,
49:02 the showbiz people,
49:04 I'm the one who studies,
49:05 I have a house,
49:06 I have a school.
49:07 And I have everything I need to join there.
49:10 You can do it.
49:11 You can do it, Mark.
49:12 You're so good.
49:13 You'll encourage Mark.
49:17 I'm sure he can do it.
49:19 No one knows,
49:21 that this is the beginning of something
49:23 that will change their lives.
49:25 What did the guard say?
49:28 Guard?
49:29 Sir, good morning.
49:30 Is this the place where the Artista Search is?
49:34 Where they're looking for new artists?
49:36 Yes, sir.

49:44 Let's just wait.
49:45 Yes, let's.
49:46 Where can we wait here?
49:47 Sir, if you want, you can wait here.
49:49 They'll open in 2 hours.
49:51 2 hours?
49:52 Yes.
49:53 You can wait here, sir.
49:54 What do you say, Mark?
49:55 Let's just wait.
49:56 Thank you.
49:57 We'll just wait here.
49:58 Thank you.
49:59 Here we go, Mark.
50:09 The building is high, right?
50:11 What if you can get there?
50:14 And become a superstar?
50:16 Why not?
50:17 No.
50:18 Big star?
50:19 No.
50:20 Superstar?
50:21 I hope so.
50:23 I dream.
50:25 I believe.

53:01 After being counted
53:05 as the 14 finalists of Starstruck,
53:08 Yasmin, Rainier, Jeneline and Mark,
53:11 they slowly started their journey
53:14 to success.
53:18 Next week,
53:20 we'll continue the story
53:22 of Starstruck Final 4
53:24 and other stories
53:25 behind successful programs
53:27 that you haven't seen yet.
53:29 We'll also find out
53:31 the life and story
53:32 of other finalists
53:34 of Starstruck
53:35 and how each of them
53:37 overcame the trials
53:39 that fell on them
53:40 to become the famous idols
53:42 of the new generation.
53:44 I'm Mel Tianko
53:48 and this is the story
53:49 of each one of us.
53:51 Now, tomorrow,
53:52 and forever.
53:54 In the continuation
54:01 of the story of Jeneline, Mark, Yasmin and Rainier,
54:05 watch the dramas
54:07 behind and in front of the camera
54:09 with the entire Starstruck Avengers.
54:12 They're trying hard
54:14 to become artists,
54:15 but they're fat.
54:17 Maybe they're just jovial.
54:19 Oh, my.
54:20 You're just getting hurt.
54:21 It's better if you stop
54:22 in that contest.
54:23 If I get eliminated,
54:24 I'll lose to the one who got
54:26 a broken jaw.
54:27 I'll celebrate.
54:28 I know you're having a hard time
54:30 and it's good that I know you
54:32 because I want to help.
54:34 What? You can still do it?
54:35 Your teeth are getting worse.
54:37 You're tired.
54:38 If I stop this,
54:39 I might lose.
54:40 I want to win.
54:41 I'll do this for you
54:44 and for me.
54:45 A lot of scenes,
54:47 from the first day of Starstruck
54:49 to the grand finals
54:51 that were witnessed
54:52 by millions of Filipinos.
54:55 Now, you'll only see that
54:57 this Thursday.
54:58 Don't change.
55:00 We're still the old friends.
55:03 One, two, three.
55:07 I won't give up
55:09 until the end of the world.
55:14 You can count on me.
55:21 No matter what,
55:26 I'll fight
55:31 so that we won't be apart.
55:38 I hope you'll always be by my side.
55:42 That's my prayer.
55:48 No matter when,
55:52 we won't change.
55:57 This is what my heart calls out.
56:04 No matter when.
