00:01:38 Their parents also love their only child, Rian.
00:01:43 But this July of this year,
00:01:45 they suddenly faced a difficult trial when Gerard had Bell's Palsy.
00:01:53 An unusual disease that became a sign of paralysis of his left side of his face.
00:02:00 My friends, tonight, you will witness a story of great love
00:02:07 and its ability to succeed in the middle of a difficult trial.
00:02:12 This is the story of Gerard Pizaras and John Marini.

00:02:52 He's a bit of a nuisance.
00:02:56 That's why you're watching him.
00:03:00 Shh! Be quiet. I'm not good at it.
00:03:03 He can't be John Marini's brother. He's an artist.
00:03:07 I'm just watching you. Don't get mad.
00:03:10 Be quiet.
00:03:14 Where are you going? He already has a boyfriend.
00:03:17 He's an artist too.
00:03:19 I don't want to watch that. I'm just listening.
00:03:21 What?
00:03:23 It's beautiful.
00:03:24 What?
00:03:26 Wait. I can't see it.
00:03:28 Don't get mad.
00:03:29 Go away.
00:03:30 It's almost over.
00:03:31 Go ahead.
00:03:33 Whatever.
00:03:35 There. It's over.
00:03:38 What's that?
00:03:43 Audition.
00:03:44 At 3 o'clock.
00:03:46 Boy, ball pen.
00:03:47 At 3 o'clock.
00:03:48 Audition.
00:03:49 Casual.
00:03:52 I'm going there. There's an audition.
00:03:54 John was the first to enter the showbiz.
00:03:57 At that time, Gerard also dreamed of becoming an artist.
00:04:01 Even though they didn't know each other,
00:04:04 he already had a crush on a girl.
00:04:06 It's been a long time since I've been in a long line.
00:04:09 What are you going to make of us?
00:04:11 As long as I split, they'll go crazy with my talent.
00:04:14 As long as I can show up there, and I'm sure,
00:04:16 I'll just go in.
00:04:17 Hey, look. Isn't that the great singer?
00:04:20 No, that's John Marini.
00:04:22 John Marini.
00:04:24 Beautiful.
00:04:25 Okay, next.
00:04:26 Hi, next.
00:04:27 Hi, next.
00:04:28 What are you doing?
00:04:29 Acting and dancing.
00:04:30 Gerard went to various auditions and workshops
00:04:33 before he entered the showbiz.
00:04:35 Meanwhile, John got a name as a teen star.
00:04:40 Because he had a talent for singing,
00:04:42 John worked in many different fields.
00:04:44 He also participated in a soap opera
00:04:47 where he played a new actor,
00:04:51 Gerard.
00:04:52 Hi, John.
00:04:54 Hi, Director.
00:04:55 Can I sit here?
00:04:57 Not yet.
00:04:58 You can sit here.
00:04:59 You're going to talk again, right?
00:05:01 Why? What's the news?
00:05:02 I'm just going to ask.
00:05:03 Have you read the script of week 11?
00:05:08 Not yet.
00:05:09 Why, Director?
00:05:10 Are you going to kill my character?
00:05:12 No, I won't.
00:05:14 Because in week 11,
00:05:16 there's a court that will let your character in.
00:05:19 Love team?
00:05:21 Really, Director?
00:05:23 I don't want to have a love team.
00:05:25 Oh, my.
00:05:27 I'm sure,
00:05:28 when you see your soulmate,
00:05:31 you'll eat everything you say.
00:05:34 Handsome.
00:05:35 New comer, but...
00:05:37 he's coming.
00:05:38 Just be careful.
00:05:40 Oh, my.
00:05:41 Gerard,
00:05:42 you're going to get married here.
00:05:43 Director,
00:05:44 what's that?
00:05:45 John,
00:05:47 he's Gerard.
00:05:48 He's going to be your soulmate.
00:05:50 Nice to meet you, John.
00:05:53 Nice meeting you, too.
00:05:55 Director, I thought you're handsome.
00:06:00 Why? I'm handsome.
00:06:02 J-Proxy,
00:06:05 is that a man?
00:06:06 Of course, it's a man.
00:06:08 Give him a chance.
00:06:10 I'm sure,
00:06:12 and I'm telling you,
00:06:14 he's handsome.
00:06:15 Director,
00:06:17 I don't want sweet scenes.
00:06:19 I don't want holding hands.
00:06:21 See you on Monday, sir.
00:06:23 Okay.
00:06:26 Cut!
00:06:29 Oh, my.
00:06:30 What's that?
00:06:31 What kind of holding hands is that?
00:06:33 Why are your hands so stiff?
00:06:36 Oh, my.
00:06:37 There's no soft factor.
00:06:38 I thought you can do that.
00:06:39 I thought you're good at it.
00:06:41 It's so hot.
00:06:43 Okay,
00:06:44 go back.
00:06:45 Fix that.
00:06:46 Your looks
00:06:47 should be tight.
00:06:49 Right?
00:06:50 So that our audience will be attracted to you.
00:06:53 Director.
00:06:54 Let's hurry up
00:06:55 because we still have a lot to do.
00:06:56 Hurry up.
00:06:57 5,
00:06:59 4,
00:07:00 3,
00:07:01 2,
00:07:02 1,
00:07:03 Action!
00:07:05 We'll meet on Monday, sir.
00:07:08 Okay,
00:07:10 I'll just follow you.
00:07:11 Okay.
00:07:12 Just don't show up.
00:07:14 You know,
00:07:15 if daddy catches us.
00:07:16 Okay.
00:07:17 Okay.
00:07:18 Cut!
00:07:27 It's so beautiful.
00:07:29 If you did that earlier,
00:07:31 he can do it.
00:07:33 Hey, our sequence is done.
00:07:36 Is it okay?
00:07:37 Director, let's go to the class.
00:07:38 Okay,
00:07:39 boys.
00:07:40 You're so sweet.
00:07:43 You know,
00:07:44 you two look good together.
00:07:46 Can you make it true?
00:07:48 You, Dang,
00:07:49 you're making me sad again.
00:07:50 Dang,
00:07:51 come here.
00:07:52 That's a form of torture.
00:07:53 That's a form of torture.
00:07:54 Jan,
00:08:03 is it okay if...
00:08:07 What?
00:08:10 Is it okay if I come here?
00:08:12 No,
00:08:16 you can't.
00:08:17 Miss Jan!
00:08:20 Yes?
00:08:21 I really missed you because I have a surprise for you.
00:08:24 That's for you.
00:08:25 Just four gifts.
00:08:26 You can buy it tomorrow.
00:08:27 You should buy it now.
00:08:28 This is so beautiful.
00:08:30 Of course,
00:08:31 I'll sell it if it's not beautiful.
00:08:32 Who are you buying this for?
00:08:33 But that's not the end of Gerard's temptation to Jan.
00:08:39 No matter what he does,
00:08:41 he still chases after the girl.
00:08:44 Until one day,
00:08:48 you said you're going to a faraway place.
00:08:51 Who are you going to?
00:08:54 The one I'm courting.
00:08:57 Do you live here?
00:09:00 No, I'm just doing some taping.
00:09:03 What?
00:09:05 Why? Is she an actress?
00:09:07 Yes,
00:09:09 she's an actress.
00:09:11 You're so stubborn.
00:09:13 I'm so happy,
00:09:15 my love.
00:09:16 Ramon, come back!
00:09:18 Ramon.
00:09:19 Ramon.
00:09:22 Ramon.
00:09:27 Cut!
00:09:31 Good! Good take, Jan.
00:09:33 Jan.
00:09:35 Director.
00:09:36 Thank you.
00:09:37 See you tomorrow.
00:09:38 Boys!
00:09:40 Boys!
00:09:41 Director, please hurry up.
00:09:43 Light.
00:09:44 Light.
00:09:45 Hurry up.
00:09:46 Hi.
00:09:48 Hey, Miss Jan.
00:09:50 You're having dinner here?
00:09:52 Our food is ready.
00:09:54 Yes,
00:09:55 our trip is still long.
00:09:57 I'm hungry.
00:09:58 Don't worry,
00:09:59 there are many restaurants in Babanang Buso Buso.
00:10:01 You're in a hurry.
00:10:04 You said it.
00:10:05 How did your chicken call last night?
00:10:08 Gerard?
00:10:09 Yes,
00:10:11 he said he can go to Buso Buso.
00:10:14 If ever he can come,
00:10:17 I don't want him to catch me here.
00:10:19 You're so pitiful.
00:10:22 Why?
00:10:23 What are you talking about?
00:10:24 Come on, I'm sleepy.
00:10:26 Let's go to the car.
00:10:27 Manong, you're right.
00:10:29 We're almost there.
00:10:31 This is the landmark that the PA said.
00:10:33 Go straight,
00:10:37 then turn right.
00:10:40 It's dark, there are many people.
00:10:41 I can't see anything.
00:10:43 Hey, look at the taxi.
00:10:48 Isn't that Gerard?
00:10:49 Yes, it's Gerard.
00:10:51 Wait, wait.
00:10:52 Did he see us?
00:10:53 Did he see us?
00:10:55 Did he see us?
00:10:56 Hey, he's using a u-turn.
00:10:57 Oh, my God.
00:10:58 What's happening here?
00:10:59 Hey, stop!
00:11:00 Hey, where are you going?
00:11:16 I'm still here.
00:11:17 Derek, I have a question for you.
00:11:19 Oh, Gerard, you're here?
00:11:22 Yes, I'm here.
00:11:23 I'm sorry,
00:11:24 She's already gone.
00:11:28 Why did you come here at night?
00:11:30 You couldn't even reach her.
00:11:32 I came from the taping.
00:11:36 What a waste.
00:11:39 You didn't like this buso-buso.
00:11:41 I'll take care of it.
00:11:44 Wait a minute.
00:11:50 This is yours.
00:11:57 Is this really yours?
00:11:58 Okay.
00:12:01 Hey, guys, let's have pizza.
00:12:04 Let's go.
00:12:11 Gerardo, I'll give you five minutes to finish this.
00:12:16 We still have a lot to do.
00:12:17 You should do your rehearsal well.
00:12:19 It's already late.
00:12:20 Okay, Gerard.
00:12:21 Boys.
00:12:22 That reading is a mess.
00:12:26 Fix it.
00:12:27 I'll be the one to clean it.
00:12:29 Hey, where did you buy your socks?
00:12:40 The design is nice.
00:12:43 You know, I'm really weak in these kind of socks.
00:12:48 Notice that I have a lot of these.
00:12:49 John admitted that this is where he started to be comfortable with Gerard.
00:12:55 They got to know each other little by little.
00:12:57 Aside from the fact that they spent three times a week together because of work.
00:13:02 Gerard also called and called him on the phone just to get John's heart.
00:13:07 Imagine, I was only nine years old when I almost died because of Hepa B.
00:13:12 Because the medicine wasn't popular yet.
00:13:14 And you know, I was admitted for six months.
00:13:19 Of course, my parents were really sad.
00:13:23 But you know, I also experienced what you see in your body, what they call near-death experience.
00:13:30 I experienced that. Can you believe it?
00:13:32 Then one night, I was attacked.
00:13:35 I was taken home because it's expensive in the hospital.
00:13:38 I was taken home and I was attacked by the illness.
00:13:41 Then my father thought that was the end.
00:13:45 He brought me to a friend of his, a priest, to pray.
00:13:50 After I prayed, my father's friend told us that he will bring me to the hospital again.
00:13:56 Of course, my father was like, "What? You see the look of the child, you'll bring him to the hospital?"
00:14:02 But the ending, they still brought me.
00:14:04 Do you know the test in the hospital?
00:14:07 Negative, as in clear, I even have blood, I don't have any illness.
00:14:11 It's funny, right?
00:14:12 It's a different kind.
00:14:19 Do you know my story?
00:14:20 It's a long story, it's like you're not listening to me.
00:14:22 Yes, that's what happened to you.
00:14:26 It's like a miracle.
00:14:28 What do you mean like a miracle? It's really a miracle.
00:14:31 It's obvious that you're not listening to me and it's obvious that you're not eating.
00:14:36 Eat!
00:14:37 You're so greedy.
00:14:39 I'm ashamed.
00:14:40 You're ashamed? Why are you ashamed of me?
00:14:43 You're the one who's greedy for dinner and you're the one who's not eating.
00:14:47 You know what? I just realized that you have a good eye.
00:14:51 You're so conscious.
00:14:56 Eat already! I'll pour it for you.
00:14:59 There, excuse me.
00:15:02 Thank you.
00:15:04 What kind of person is this?
00:15:07 What kind of person is this?
00:15:08 Jan, I love you. This is for you.
00:15:34 Hey, what you're saying is all positive even now.
00:15:38 Yes, that's right. While before, your mission in life was to be a good-looking guy.
00:15:43 Yes, I'm eating what I said.
00:15:46 Hey, you're so greedy.
00:15:48 You know, I'm not the type of person I used to be.
00:15:53 But when we were dating, I saw the difference between you and other guys who are cute to me.
00:16:03 Because this one is not greedy at all.
00:16:04 He's not arrogant at all. He's so humble.
00:16:06 And I was taken care of.
00:16:08 You know, I feel like I'm being a baby. I'm really a girl.
00:16:13 Wait a minute. Is what I heard right? You're already dating?
00:16:16 Yes.
00:16:18 You're already dating?
00:16:19 Where did you come from? Why don't you know?
00:16:20 We're already dating.
00:16:23 Yes, they're already dating. So what are you going to answer?
00:16:26 Yes.
00:16:27 You're going to answer?
00:16:31 Three years after Gerard and John became a couple,
00:16:34 they got together in Altar D.
00:16:37 Honey, I'm leaving. I'm going to the taping.
00:17:05 I'm going to the taping.
00:17:06 Honey, why? Why are you crying? What are you thinking?
00:17:16 Why can't I get anything? Why don't I have a job? I know how to be a good actor.
00:17:33 You're the one who said that this is all temporary.
00:17:40 And that the Lord will not forsake us.
00:17:44 Okay, leave. You might get late for the taping.
00:17:53 Don't worry. He'll be with our baby.
00:17:59 You know what? So you won't get bored, just watch TV.
00:18:04 I don't want to watch TV. I see people and I get annoyed. I get more insecure.
00:18:13 Honey, you're so annoying. I told you that it's enough.
00:18:18 Okay, I'm sorry. Just leave. I'm okay. You'll be late.
00:18:25 You're happy now? Yes, I'm happy.
00:18:29 I'll miss you. Take care.
00:18:31 Okay, bye.
00:18:34 People are so noisy at the party. I can't breathe.
00:18:49 Hon, you know the one who was on the green screen earlier? The one with Drek?
00:18:53 He's a new actor. He's so good. He did it in one take. He's so good at the script.
00:19:00 Hon, I told you that I don't want to hear stories about the taping.
00:19:05 I'm sorry, hon.
00:19:08 I don't understand. I'm the only one who doesn't have a project.
00:19:16 Even if it's just a supporting role, no one calls me.
00:19:19 Honey, are we going to talk about this again?
00:19:23 Just think, this might be a blessing in disguise. You'll be able to rest while you're pregnant.
00:19:29 I know I have a talent. I just want to get back to work.
00:19:35 I don't want this anymore. I just want to work again.
00:19:39 [music]
00:19:41 Nelia! Nelia, open the gate.
00:20:04 Nelia!
00:20:08 Oh, no.
00:20:09 Nelia!
00:20:11 Honey!
00:20:13 Honey! Honey!
00:20:16 Honey, what's wrong?
00:20:18 My heart hurts. It's like it's bleeding.
00:20:20 Huh?
00:20:22 Honey, you're bleeding.
00:20:26 Honey, my baby. Honey, my baby.
00:20:37 I'm sorry, Mom.
00:20:38 If I hadn't stressed myself, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant.
00:20:43 Shh, honey. Don't say that. That's not true.
00:20:49 I'll leave you two alone.
00:20:57 Okay?
00:20:58 Honey, I'm sorry I failed you.
00:21:17 Shh.
00:21:24 Don't think of him. You're not at fault.
00:21:28 No one is blaming you.
00:21:32 So don't blame yourself.
00:21:36 No one wants this to happen.
00:21:39 Our baby is gone. Please leave me.
00:21:49 Honey, I love you so much. And you know I won't do that.
00:21:55 Remember, when we got married, I promised you that I won't leave you.
00:22:04 Not only did I promise you, I also promised God that I will love the woman He will give to me.
00:22:18 And I will not break my promise to you until death.
00:22:24 I love you so much.
00:22:28 Don't think about it.
00:22:30 John didn't get pregnant for a long time.
00:22:34 He got pregnant with a healthy baby girl.
00:22:37 They named her Briana Lainey or Rian.
00:22:40 But the couple faced another trial.
00:22:44 The babies from the showbiz went bankrupt. Not only John, but also Gerard.
00:22:50 Honey, I'm leaving.
00:22:53 Hon, are you sure about that?
00:22:58 We're not in line to sell anything. It's insurance or food supplement.
00:23:05 I'm sorry, Hon.
00:23:11 I'm sorry, Hon.
00:23:12 I feel so heavy. I'm not comfortable.
00:23:19 But we don't have a choice.
00:23:23 Instead of waiting here, we should call someone.
00:23:30 It's true.
00:23:32 And our bank savings are running out.
00:23:37 I also have something to tell you.
00:23:40 What is it?
00:23:44 The bank called.
00:23:46 Our fund for the fall of the vehicle is running out.
00:23:52 We need to produce as much as possible, even if it's only 20,000 pesos.
00:23:58 If not, our vehicle will be stuck.
00:24:04 [music]
00:24:07 [music]
00:24:11 Hon, I'm leaving.
00:24:15 Pray that I have a lot of sales.
00:24:21 Take care.
00:24:24 Bye.
00:24:25 [music]
00:24:30 [music]
00:24:34 Oh, you're still here? You've been waiting for an hour.
00:24:39 Is he still not coming out?
00:24:41 Yes, but it's okay.
00:24:42 You don't have an appointment with him.
00:24:45 What are you selling?
00:24:47 Hey, this is a food supplement. It's good for the body.
00:24:51 Alternative medicine. Maybe you want to try this sometime.
00:24:53 You can do this. Try it.
00:24:59 Sir, Gerard.
00:25:01 Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:25:02 I called you. I'm introducing this supplement.
00:25:06 Yes, but I have an emergency meeting in Makati.
00:25:10 No problem, sir. This is just for a moment. Just three minutes. I'll explain everything to you.
00:25:14 Actually, but you know, just leave your calling card with the guard.
00:25:19 And if I have time, I'll call you.
00:25:23 Okay. I'll leave my brochure, sir.
00:25:26 Okay, take the brochure with you.
00:25:28 Okay.
00:25:29 Consider it, sir.
00:25:30 Okay.
00:25:31 I'll just leave my calling card and brochure.
00:25:41 And you can read this. It's good. Maybe you'll like it.
00:25:45 Maybe you can also give it to your neighbors. Maybe they'll like it.
00:25:51 I'm sorry, sir. He's always like that. He's always in a hurry.
00:25:54 It's okay.
00:25:57 Isn't he an artist?
00:25:58 Artist? Really?
00:26:00 Why is he selling food supplements?
00:26:03 He's selling?
00:26:05 I think he's on a bad trip because he's been waiting for a long time.
00:26:08 That's sad.
00:26:24 Gerard's sad story also affected his showbiz career.
00:26:29 It also affected John's joining.
00:26:33 Han, are you still thinking about it? That's enough.
00:26:39 Don't you remember the preaching last Sunday?
00:26:46 It said, "Our God is a big God."
00:26:51 That we can ask for big things from Him. Don't be a problem.
00:26:55 Go to sleep. That's enough.
00:27:00 Oh my, this is so beautiful.
00:27:18 Han, look at this.
00:27:20 Han, it's beautiful and luxurious.
00:27:22 Han, if we have our own house,
00:27:25 I want to achieve that.
00:27:28 How much is this?
00:27:30 That's enough. Is that okay?
00:27:32 That's enough, Alin.
00:27:36 You've been wanting to buy something for a long time. You know we don't have money now.
00:27:40 I didn't say I'll buy. I just said it's beautiful.
00:27:44 You know, if I could give you everything you want before,
00:27:47 but now, it's different. Don't make me look like I can't give you what you want.
00:27:51 I didn't say I'll buy, honey. I'm just appreciating it.
00:27:58 What's wrong with that?
00:28:01 Your son grew up so fast, Gerard.
00:28:16 Yes, he's always like this. He's a baby.
00:28:19 Excuse me, I'll just go to the kitchen.
00:28:23 Talk to your son. It seems like they have a fight.
00:28:33 They're husband and wife.
00:28:34 Is there a problem?
00:28:56 No, I think it's just small.
00:29:01 What small?
00:29:03 We've been noticing for a while that you and your mother don't get along.
00:29:08 She's the one who got married first.
00:29:12 Son, it doesn't matter who got married first.
00:29:17 I told you before,
00:29:22 if there's a little problem in the marriage,
00:29:28 don't make it big. Don't make it long.
00:29:31 But, dad...
00:29:34 That's why, son, don't make excuses.
00:29:38 I know you. You're a fighter.
00:29:41 But, with your wife, it's different.
00:29:44 Don't use your fighting spirit on your wife.
00:29:48 And her pride, there's no place for her pride in marriage.
00:29:53 Remember that.
00:29:55 [music]
00:29:57 Because they love each other so much,
00:30:02 Gerard and John were able to talk and overcome
00:30:06 every obstacle or incomprehension in their relationship.
00:30:10 But, their financial problem still exists.
00:30:15 Gerard joined the TV commercials.
00:30:18 He also helped sell food supplements
00:30:23 to support his family.
00:30:25 Mom, I'm hungry.
00:30:28 It's okay, mommy will cook.
00:30:30 Go upstairs first, okay?
00:30:32 Then, eat some biscuits.
00:30:34 I'll call you later, okay?
00:30:36 Careful.
00:30:38 Hello?
00:30:43 Yes, this is John Marini.
00:30:48 Life insurance?
00:30:53 Oh, my.
00:30:54 Sorry, I don't have a budget for such insurance.
00:30:59 I'm sorry.
00:31:01 What insurance company are you from?
00:31:03 You know, it's true. I already got one from your company.
00:31:08 I didn't even get to pay for it.
00:31:10 I don't have money anymore.
00:31:12 Really, ma'am?
00:31:14 When did you get it? And what year was it?
00:31:16 About two years ago.
00:31:18 If you want, ma'am, I'll check your records.
00:31:21 I'll check if you have stocks in your account.
00:31:24 What? What stocks?
00:31:27 Oh, my. Bell, excuse me.
00:31:29 Anyways, I don't have money to pay you.
00:31:32 If ever, let's not talk about it.
00:31:34 Sorry, I'm sorry.
00:31:36 Okay, okay.
00:31:38 Stocks.
00:31:43 I've been out for a few days,
00:31:46 but I still haven't sold anything.
00:31:48 It's so annoying.
00:31:50 No one's calling?
00:31:51 No one's just a guesting man?
00:31:53 No one.
00:31:56 But you know, someone called.
00:31:58 The insurance agent.
00:32:00 He's planning a life plan.
00:32:02 Insurance?
00:32:04 We're the ones who will be sold. We don't have money anymore.
00:32:07 Don't worry.
00:32:09 I was ranked.
00:32:11 You know, if I don't give it a try,
00:32:16 we'll probably get bullied again and again.
00:32:19 Yes. If you want, you can tell him to buy us a food supplement.
00:32:23 So he'll stop.
00:32:25 But in fairness, we're on good terms.
00:32:28 You look like a good person.
00:32:30 Do you remember I had an unveiled life plan before?
00:32:34 It's already lapsed.
00:32:36 He was explaining to me that it has stocks.
00:32:40 My account has stocks.
00:32:42 But I don't really understand.
00:32:44 Stocks? What are stocks? What is that?
00:32:47 I don't know. Let's see.
00:32:48 Hello?
00:32:56 Hello, ma'am. Good afternoon.
00:32:58 This is Bel, from the insurance company.
00:33:00 Bel, I told you that we don't have a budget for what you're talking about.
00:33:06 Yes, ma'am. Excuse me.
00:33:09 But I would just like to inform you that your account has stocks.
00:33:16 In fact, there are 190 stocks.
00:33:18 Oh, and?
00:33:20 And each stock is equivalent to…
00:33:22 Bel, wait. Excuse me.
00:33:24 I don't understand what you're explaining.
00:33:27 What do you mean?
00:33:29 Because, ma'am, your account has stocks,
00:33:32 you can get 200,000 pesos.
00:33:35 You look like…
00:33:39 Yes, ma'am. You can get 200,000 pesos.
00:33:43 If you want, you can go to my office so that I can turn over the check for 200,000 pesos.
00:33:49 What's that? Why?
00:33:53 Hello, ma'am? Hello? Are you still there?
00:33:58 Yes, yes. What now?
00:34:01 You're going to give me 200,000 pesos?
00:34:04 200,000 pesos?
00:34:05 Okay, ma'am. I will just meet you this coming Friday.
00:34:27 Yes, yes. We'll be there.
00:34:32 Thank you, Bel.
00:34:33 What? She's going to give us 200,000 pesos?
00:34:39 Honey, we have money now.
00:34:42 We're going to have money. She's going to give us 200,000 pesos.
00:34:46 John and Gerard were overjoyed by the unexpected arrival of the gift.
00:34:54 After confirming that it was not Peque who called them,
00:34:59 they immediately held a meeting with the insurance company
00:35:02 and gave them a check worth 200,000 pesos.
00:35:06 This amount helped a lot to pay Gerard for the car they were driving.
00:35:12 Aside from this, they were also able to buy their children's needs
00:35:16 and they were able to save a little on the bank.
00:35:20 That's Mama. Ria, kiss Mama. There.
00:35:24 Honey.
00:35:26 Hello, Pa.
00:35:28 How's the baby?
00:35:29 Hey, Mama. Our baby is doing great.
00:35:32 Why?
00:35:34 Rian, show Mama what dance steps I taught you.
00:35:37 Did you teach her?
00:35:39 I'll do it for you, Ma.
00:35:40 You know, baby, even if Daddy taught you, Mama taught you.
00:35:48 You're really good.
00:35:49 Oh, wait. Because you're good, I have something for you.
00:35:53 Wow!
00:35:56 Oh, let's go upstairs.
00:35:58 Okay, Pa.
00:36:00 Okay, okay. I'll follow.
00:36:01 Why? Are you tired?
00:36:04 I'll take care of it.
00:36:06 No.
00:36:07 This is just fine.
00:36:08 No, I'm fine.
00:36:09 Wow, it's delicious.
00:36:11 Hon, I'm sorry.
00:36:15 Hon, sorry for what?
00:36:17 You know, the times I was under pressure,
00:36:23 the times I was pulling you down because of my insecurities,
00:36:28 and you know, my mood swings.
00:36:33 Oh, hon.
00:36:37 There are times when I'm the one who has a crush.
00:36:42 I shouldn't be stressed, right?
00:36:47 Because I almost died before, God didn't leave me alone.
00:36:52 And now, we're just struggling with money.
00:36:56 And he gave me groceries.
00:37:00 John's work started.
00:37:03 He performed in the GMA soap opera, anytime.
00:37:07 And he was also part of the cast of Te Amo.
00:37:10 He also brought singing to the acoustic bar.
00:37:14 [music]
00:37:16 Oh, honey.
00:37:23 Honey?
00:37:27 Yes?
00:37:29 What do you think if I accept the offer in Japan?
00:37:31 It's just for three months.
00:37:33 Honey, do we really need to decide now?
00:37:37 Maybe tomorrow is fine.
00:37:42 No, but look, honey.
00:37:47 After three months, we'll be able to go home.
00:37:54 You don't want to rent a ride like this forever, right?
00:37:59 Honey, you can also go there.
00:38:06 I'll go with you. You can go there.
00:38:10 I can.
00:38:11 But can we just talk about it tomorrow?
00:38:15 I'm so sleepy. Please.
00:38:18 Hon, here.
00:38:24 We'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:38:28 But just pray first, so you'll know what Lloyd's decision is.
00:38:34 Tomorrow, okay?
00:38:36 Good night, honey. Love you.
00:38:38 [music]
00:38:40 They didn't expect that their waking up tomorrow
00:38:44 will bring them a tragedy.
00:38:47 [music]
00:39:05 [panting]
00:39:08 Honey?
00:39:14 Honey?
00:39:17 Honey?
00:39:19 Look at me. Look at me.
00:39:21 Honey?
00:39:23 Hon?
00:39:24 What happened to you, Hon?
00:39:25 What happened, Hon?
00:39:27 I need to go to the toilet.
00:39:31 Why are you talking like that?
00:39:32 Why are you talking like that?
00:39:34 Honey, honey.
00:39:35 What is this?
00:39:36 I need to go to the toilet.
00:39:37 What is this? Is this how you sleep?
00:39:40 Try moving. Try moving, honey.
00:39:42 I need to go to the toilet, honey.
00:39:44 Honey?
00:39:46 Please, please.
00:39:47 Honey?
00:39:48 Please, please.
00:39:49 I need to go to the toilet.
00:39:50 I need to go to the toilet.
00:39:52 I need to go to the toilet.
00:39:54 Honey?
00:39:56 Honey?
00:39:58 What are you doing?
00:39:59 Honey?
00:40:02 Honey, please help me.
00:40:04 I need to go to the toilet.
00:40:05 Honey, hurry up.
00:40:07 We need to go to the check-up.
00:40:09 We need to go to the check-up.
00:40:10 Hurry up.
00:40:11 I need to go to the toilet.
00:40:13 I need to go to the toilet.
00:40:14 What? What?
00:40:17 I don't understand you.
00:40:18 I need to go to the toilet.
00:40:20 I need to go to the toilet.
00:40:22 Honey, please help me.
00:40:25 [music]
00:40:31 Honey?
00:40:32 Honey?
00:40:33 Honey?
00:40:34 Honey?
00:40:35 Honey?
00:40:36 Honey?
00:40:37 Honey?
00:40:38 Honey?
00:40:39 Honey?
00:40:40 Honey?
00:40:41 Honey?
00:40:42 Honey?
00:40:43 Honey?
00:40:44 Honey?
00:40:45 Honey?
00:40:46 Honey?
00:40:47 Honey?
00:40:48 Honey?
00:40:49 John, what's wrong?
00:40:53 Don't walk around.
00:40:54 I'm sure your husband will take you to the toilet.
00:40:58 Bulls, I hope my husband didn't get a stroke.
00:41:01 There they are.
00:41:06 Oh my God.
00:41:11 Honey?
00:41:27 Honey?
00:41:28 Honey?
00:41:30 What?
00:41:32 Why?
00:41:33 Why do you look like...
00:41:34 Like...
00:41:37 Like your grandmother?
00:41:39 Like your grandmother?
00:41:40 Like your grandmother?
00:41:41 Honey?
00:41:44 Honey?
00:41:50 [music]
00:42:19 What did the doctor say?
00:42:21 It's called Dels Palsy.
00:42:23 Dels Palsy?
00:42:26 What's that?
00:42:27 Gerard's condition is not permanent.
00:42:30 It's just a tragic disease.
00:42:32 Dels Palsy?
00:42:35 Dels?
00:42:38 What are we going to do?
00:42:39 He needs to be treated.
00:42:41 And he needs to be treated for at least 3 months before we can see any changes.
00:42:45 3 months?
00:42:48 3 months of therapy?
00:42:50 Yes, and if he doesn't get the treatment, he might be more at risk.
00:42:58 Gerard's therapy was done immediately.
00:43:03 He usually goes through therapy for 3 months before he can see any improvement in patients with Dels Palsy.
00:43:12 But his wife can go to the hospital every day for 2 hours of therapy.
00:43:19 At night, John continues to work as an acoustic singer in a library music bar.
00:43:26 John made a huge sacrifice because aside from taking care of his sick wife,
00:43:31 he also has to take responsibility for Gerard while he's working.
00:43:39 The nerve is either strained or infected in the surrounding area.
00:43:45 That's why half of your face is paralyzed.
00:43:48 We will apply an infrared facial massage.
00:43:52 The set of exercises is twice a day.
00:43:56 It's better to do it in the morning and afternoon.
00:43:58 But sometimes, due to the high tension,
00:44:02 John can't help feeling tired and hopeless.
00:44:09 It's so beautiful.
00:44:10 Hey, Mama and Papa are here.
00:44:13 Kiss them.
00:44:14 Mom, have you cooked yet?
00:44:21 Not yet. I can't leave your son.
00:44:25 When I'm away, I'm always busy.
00:44:28 Honey, get up and rest.
00:44:33 I'll call you when the food is ready.
00:44:37 You're here alone. Maybe we can go home.
00:44:41 If you want, we can sleep here.
00:44:44 We can sleep here?
00:44:48 Wait, how's your checkup? What did the doctor say?
00:44:54 Are there any improvements? Maybe there are some things that are not allowed to eat.
00:44:58 Mom, it's just that you can't eat.
00:45:03 You can't eat?
00:45:06 Don't be silly. The doctor said that it's not allowed.
00:45:08 Honey, where's our vest?
00:45:14 I'll take care of it. Just rest.
00:45:18 Our Korean teacher is coming.
00:45:22 I said I'll take care of it.
00:45:26 Can I just lift you up? I told you to rest. We're tired, right?
00:45:34 I'll play with the air conditioner.
00:45:36 Here's our phone. How about this?
00:45:42 That's the phone you paid for.
00:45:45 What? I told you to take care of it. That's my phone.
00:45:50 Why are you just there? Just rest.
00:45:52 Jans, Jans, what's wrong?
00:45:54 Your husband is just asking questions. Why are you so angry?
00:45:57 Can you stop bothering me? He's asking so many questions. I don't want to ask anymore. I'm tired.
00:46:02 I'm tired!
00:46:03 I'm so tired.
00:46:23 When will this end?
00:46:30 When will this end?
00:46:33 I'm so tired.
00:46:59 I can't do this anymore.
00:47:28 I'm sorry.
00:47:29 I'm sorry.
00:47:31 I'm sorry.
00:47:42 I'm sorry, too.
00:47:45 I'm sorry.
00:47:48 I'm sorry.
00:47:49 Honey, is the meat still hard? I already tenderized it.
00:48:04 Do you want me to get you some vegetables?
00:48:06 No, this is fine.
00:48:08 You like your food?
00:48:10 Honey, honey, I just thought of something.
00:48:15 When I go back to the showbiz, I should get a 2x pay.
00:48:19 2x? Why?
00:48:21 And you know what? I can do both roles in one seat.
00:48:27 How?
00:48:30 Sad, happy, sad, happy.
00:48:37 I can do both at the same time.
00:48:43 You're so happy. You're laughing because it's hard to eat.
00:48:47 It's your birthday soon. Give us your birthday wish.
00:48:57 Just one. I'm sure I have a lot of birthday wishes.
00:49:01 Just one.
00:49:04 My birthday wish is that the Lord will give the answer to the greatest concern of our family for now.
00:49:13 Your grandmother's answer is so serious.
00:49:17 I know this is just temporary, but I hope the happy ending will come.
00:49:25 Oh my God.
00:49:28 To give us a good performance, we will now have Ms. John Marini perform.
00:49:35 Thank you.
00:49:36 Thank you.

00:51:50 Hi.
00:51:52 Hi, good morning Ma'am.
00:51:54 Good morning.
00:51:59 Ms. John, I already know what happened to Mr. Pizaras in the media.
00:52:03 Really? What did he say? Did you see it?
00:52:07 Yes, the news is wrong.
00:52:09 Someone said he was stroked, someone said he will have an operation.
00:52:15 There's also a gossip that your husband has a cerebral palsy.
00:52:19 Oh my God, the news is really bad.
00:52:22 Ms. John, do you have any plans to clear this up in the media?
00:52:28 [Music]
00:52:31 To clarify the truth about what happened to Gerard,
00:52:34 John decided to give a statement on TV through the program S-Files.
00:52:41 The diagnosis is a Bell's Pulse.
00:52:43 When he speaks, it's like he's only half of what he's saying.
00:52:46 Via phone patch, Gerard are you there?
00:52:49 How are you Gerard?
00:52:51 I'm fine, I'm still handsome.
00:52:53 He will get better.
00:52:56 He's going through therapy and he's taking his medicines.
00:53:00 He will get back to work, you will still see him.
00:53:03 After that interview, John received calls and texts from their friends and even people they don't know.
00:53:12 Everyone wants to give support and strength to the couple.
00:53:17 John, I don't know me.
00:53:25 We saw your interview on TV.
00:53:27 I just want you to know that your husband is praying for the whole family.
00:53:32 Ma'am, thank you. Thank you so much.
00:53:35 You're welcome, A.
00:53:37 God bless you.
00:53:39 It's so nice to have people praying for you.
00:53:43 Mommy, this is John and this is Gerard.
00:53:45 Hi, how's your husband?
00:53:47 He's getting better.
00:53:50 You don't ask, my son always prays for you.
00:53:53 His grandfather has Bell's Palsy.
00:53:56 So when you watch TV, you always join his prayers.
00:54:00 Thank you.
00:54:02 And I know that you're going to get healed.
00:54:05 Thank you.
00:54:07 I think God is good.
00:54:11 Mommy, look at me.
00:54:19 I'm moving.
00:54:20 You're getting better, hon.
00:54:22 I'm getting better.
00:54:24 You're getting better.
00:54:26 You're speaking clearly, hon.
00:54:29 Thank you, Lord.
00:54:31 I'm getting better.
00:54:33 Thank you, Lord.
00:54:42 [music]
00:54:47 I must admit, I myself am amazed.
00:54:56 Your recovery was so fast than I expected.
00:55:00 Yes, Doc. You mentioned to me that it's three months before we see the results.
00:55:06 But look at him now.
00:55:08 And Doc, it's only two months. I'm already recovered.
00:55:11 I must say, this is a miracle.
00:55:13 Well, congratulations.
00:55:16 Thank you, Doc.
00:55:18 Thank you so much.
00:55:19 I just want to say that you shouldn't be too heavy-handed.
00:55:22 And avoid thinking too much.
00:55:25 No problem, Doc.
00:55:27 Okay.
00:55:28 Thank you.
00:55:29 Thank you, Doc.
00:55:30 Oh, hon.
00:55:33 Thank you.
00:55:36 For what?
00:55:38 Thank you for everything.
00:55:41 For taking care of me,
00:55:42 for being a good husband,
00:55:44 for being patient and loving me.
00:55:47 You know, hon, thank you too.
00:55:50 Thank you because you became my husband.
00:55:53 I'm so lucky.
00:55:55 You know, if it's not for you, I would have given up long ago.
00:55:59 Hon, we've been through so many things.
00:56:03 We'll get through everything, right?
00:56:08 Hon, no matter what happens,
00:56:10 our promise to each other,
00:56:12 we'll never leave each other.
00:56:15 I love you so much.
00:56:18 Forever.
00:56:21 So that's how it is.
00:56:31 How did you help your husband, Gerard, to keep on?
00:56:37 How did you support him?
00:56:38 I made it a point that I'm always with him.
00:56:42 The vitamin D complex, it makes him eat well.
00:56:45 So I see to it that I'm the one who prepares his food so that he'll be full.
00:56:52 Did you really do that because as a wife, you realize what he's going through?
00:56:59 I must admit, there was a conscious effort on my part.
00:57:03 If I'm thinking of something, if I have a problem,
00:57:08 I can't let it affect him or let him know what I feel or what I'm thinking about
00:57:13 so that his condition won't get worse.
00:57:19 Gerard, when that happened to you, what emotion did you feel?
00:57:25 I was scared.
00:57:27 I said, "Lord, what should I do?
00:57:31 I hope this will be the way it is."
00:57:33 Even my speech and my tongue, if there's a difference, I don't feel it.
00:57:37 "Lord, I hope this will be the way it is."
00:57:39 So every day, I pray that I'll be better, hoping that something good will happen this day.
00:57:46 But I don't look in the mirror anymore because as I look in the mirror, I'm more worried.
00:57:53 I can't have any problems because I was stressed out, that's why I had Bell's Palsy.
00:57:59 How big is John's participation in your recovery?
00:58:02 100%.
00:58:04 Because I look at him as a strength.
00:58:07 At any point there, you might feel weak?
00:58:11 Every time I wake up.
00:58:13 What do you think is the purpose of your illness?
00:58:16 My future is in the hands of God.
00:58:19 I left it to Him.
00:58:21 I will do this, I can do this.
00:58:23 I will work, I will give.
00:58:25 What about you, John? What did you learn from that?
00:58:28 Love your husband like it's the last day of the world.
00:58:31 Every day should be like the last day of your life.
00:58:35 You said it so beautifully.
00:58:37 I'm sure our viewers are inspired by your story.
00:58:42 I hope so.
00:58:44 Anyway, thank you very much.
00:58:46 Thank you.
00:58:48 You allowed us to use your life to inspire our viewers.
00:58:53 Thank you very much.
00:58:56 Thank you very much for giving us a chance to share our life.
00:59:00 I believe that this is the life of a husband.
00:59:05 It's not like a fairytale, everything will go right.
00:59:09 This is the life of a husband, you will have problems, you will have struggles.
00:59:14 And at the end, you will always expect a happy ending.
00:59:17 Because of who the center of your relationship is, and that is God.
00:59:22 And thank you to the viewers for giving us the opportunity.
00:59:27 Because not all people who have beautiful stories,
00:59:30 are given the opportunity to tell their stories.
00:59:34 Thank you for letting our love story be broadcasted here.
00:59:39 To the staff, thank you to all of you.
00:59:41 Thank you very much, John. And thank you to you, Gerard.
00:59:47 Gerard's quick recovery from his Bell's Palsy is considered a miracle.
00:59:53 That's why Gerard and John did not open their mouths,
00:59:56 but they are thankful for the blessings God has given them.
01:00:01 Now, they have proven how strong their relationship is.
01:00:08 There is no pain or hardship that can separate them.
01:00:13 Especially, they have God in the middle of them, who never forgets to listen to their prayers.
01:00:19 I am Mel Tianko, and this is the story of each one of us.
01:00:25 Now, tomorrow, and forever.
