00:04:52 [sighs]
00:04:53 [sighs]
00:04:54 I thought we were just free fans.
00:04:57 [phone rings]
00:04:59 Hi.
00:05:00 We took a night out.
00:05:02 You're so corny.
00:05:04 [chuckles]
00:05:04 You're enjoying it.
00:05:05 But you know, you're really good at singing and performing.
00:05:09 Where?
00:05:11 In bed?
00:05:13 No, on stage. You're so good.
00:05:18 No, I'm just jealous because of you.
00:05:21 You know, don't try to fool me. I know you have a lot of girls.
00:05:27 It's not like that.
00:05:29 I have a lot of friends.
00:05:32 If that's the case, why don't you just make me your girlfriend?
00:05:37 No, I can't do that.
00:05:40 I have a lot of friends.
00:05:42 You guys are such gangsters.
00:05:46 No.
00:05:47 That's not true.
00:05:49 We're just friendly.
00:05:51 [chuckles]
00:05:53 [sighs]
00:05:55 [music]
00:05:57 [car horn]
00:05:59 Are you okay?
00:06:04 Yes.
00:06:05 Why?
00:06:06 I'm dead.
00:06:10 Why?
00:06:12 I have a graduation today. I'm running late.
00:06:15 My dad will kill me.
00:06:17 I'll just go to the beach and then I'll go to the stage.
00:06:24 I'll see you later. Linda, I'll call you later.
00:06:27 What Linda?
00:06:28 Liza. My name is Liza.
00:06:31 Liza, I'm just kidding. I'll call you later. Bye, Liza.
00:06:35 [chatter]
00:06:40 Alright.
00:06:41 There. Okay.
00:06:43 Smile.
00:06:44 Smile.
00:06:45 Smile.
00:06:46 There.
00:06:48 Let's switch.
00:06:49 Liza, so we're complete.
00:06:51 This is our heart.
00:06:52 Smile.
00:06:53 One, two, three.
00:06:55 Okay.
00:06:57 Congratulations, son.
00:06:59 Okay.
00:07:01 Okay, you go first.
00:07:02 I'll follow.
00:07:03 Okay.
00:07:04 I'll just talk to my mom.
00:07:05 Noy, you're a little late.
00:07:12 Your name was called when you arrived.
00:07:16 Uh.
00:07:20 Noy, do you not want to continue your studies in medicine?
00:07:24 We already have two doctors in our family.
00:07:27 Isn't that your dream?
00:07:30 Dad, I want to.
00:07:33 But it's expensive.
00:07:40 Expensive.
00:07:42 You're paying for us to study.
00:07:44 You know what, son?
00:07:45 You can do it.
00:07:46 Don't worry.
00:07:47 I know.
00:07:48 Dad, to be honest,
00:07:51 I want to do something else.
00:07:54 What is it?
00:07:55 Your band?
00:07:59 You know what, son?
00:08:04 You're smart.
00:08:05 Maybe in the end,
00:08:07 it will all be for nothing.
00:08:09 Even our hard work as a mother
00:08:12 will be wasted.
00:08:14 Son,
00:08:15 Son,
00:08:18 think about what I told you.
00:08:20 Thank you.
00:08:23 Okay, let's go.
00:08:25 After graduating from college,
00:08:30 Noy became content in his life
00:08:32 as a vocalist of a band.
00:08:34 Because the money he earned from this band is good.
00:08:38 In addition,
00:08:39 the women became his friends.
00:08:42 That's why he was able to keep his father's dream
00:08:44 of finishing medicine
00:08:46 by his side.
00:08:48 What's that, sir?
00:08:51 That's a checkpoint, sir.
00:08:53 Of course, it's a marcelo.
00:08:55 You're going to be left behind.
00:08:59 Please open the back.
00:09:01 And please go down for a while.
00:09:03 Yes, sir.
00:09:04 [music]
00:09:19 What are these?
00:09:21 These are our instruments.
00:09:24 We are a band.
00:09:28 Actually, we're going to the Philippine Plaza to play.
00:09:32 If you want, you can call your mom later.
00:09:34 We'll watch you and answer your drinks.
00:09:36 Yes, sir.
00:09:38 Sir, it's clean.
00:09:40 Is that so?
00:09:42 Okay, you can continue.
00:09:43 Thank you.
00:09:45 Thank you, sir.
00:09:47 Thank you.
00:09:48 That night,
00:09:54 Noy didn't think
00:09:56 that his simple and easy life
00:10:00 would be changed by an unexpected event.
00:10:04 [music]
00:10:10 Police! Police!
00:10:11 Police!
00:10:12 [music]
00:10:19 Help us!
00:10:20 We're being chased!
00:10:22 Sir, help us!
00:10:23 We need to go to the hospital!
00:10:24 Sir!
00:10:25 Are you okay?
00:10:26 Sir, are you okay?
00:10:27 Sir, eat this!
00:10:28 [music]
00:10:31 Mom.
00:10:50 Dad.
00:10:52 What happened?
00:10:54 Noy.
00:10:57 Someone put a bomb in the bathroom of your dressing room.
00:11:01 Good thing I'm alive.
00:11:09 Thank God.
00:11:12 What did the doctor say?
00:11:16 Is it okay?
00:11:18 Son.
00:11:24 They said they need to cut your whole tooth.
00:11:27 What?
00:11:33 What?
00:11:35 No!
00:11:54 No!
00:11:55 Just go.
00:11:56 Just go.
00:11:58 Just go!
00:12:00 No!
00:12:03 No!
00:12:06 Fuck it!
00:12:10 No!
00:12:16 No!
00:12:22 No!
00:12:23 [music]
00:12:25 Noy was charged with the bombing of the hotel
00:12:44 that was being occupied by their gang.
00:12:46 Due to the tragic incident,
00:12:49 his foot was cut off.
00:12:52 And in an instant,
00:12:53 Noy's dreams were cut off as well.
00:12:57 [music]
00:12:59 Is your tooth okay?
00:13:12 [music]
00:13:13 Lisa.
00:13:29 Hi.
00:13:31 How are you? It's been a while.
00:13:32 How are you?
00:13:33 Here.
00:13:35 It looks like you don't have any available tables.
00:13:38 You're all already here.
00:13:40 Yes.
00:13:41 You're all here so that he can join us.
00:13:43 Because I'm still walking.
00:13:46 Okay.
00:13:47 Sit down.
00:13:49 Have a seat.
00:13:50 Maybe next time.
00:13:53 Okay.
00:13:55 Let's transfer.
00:13:58 Who is that?
00:14:00 Is it really you?
00:14:01 You're so sad.
00:14:02 You're making me laugh.
00:14:03 He just said hi to me,
00:14:04 that's why I said hi to him.
00:14:05 And I felt sorry for him.
00:14:06 He's so sad.
00:14:07 [music]
00:14:08 Noy couldn't accept
00:14:12 the sudden departure of the women who were in love with him.
00:14:16 He was used to the attention of these women,
00:14:20 so he couldn't avoid
00:14:22 to be shy.
00:14:24 [music]
00:14:27 Oh, you're still here.
00:14:36 Let's go.
00:14:37 There.
00:14:38 Hey, bro.
00:14:46 I saw the chick who's really into you.
00:14:51 Is her name Lisa?
00:14:53 You talked to her, right?
00:14:55 What did she say?
00:14:56 Nothing.
00:14:58 No, no.
00:14:59 You know what?
00:15:00 You should be with us in the band.
00:15:01 We should play together, right?
00:15:02 Yes, of course.
00:15:03 You should join us.
00:15:05 We'll still be different
00:15:06 if you're with us on stage.
00:15:08 You're an original vocalist.
00:15:09 Yes.
00:15:10 I might look stupid there.
00:15:11 Why?
00:15:13 Yes, why would you look stupid?
00:15:15 Are you stupid?
00:15:18 Can't you see that I'm already fat?
00:15:21 What will you say if you see me on stage?
00:15:24 I look like a fat, ugly, ugly,
00:15:27 and ugly.
00:15:28 Do you want me to look stupid?
00:15:31 [dramatic music]
00:15:33 [gunshot]
00:15:42 Noy!
00:15:46 No, Noy!
00:15:47 I'll do it.
00:15:48 I'll do it, Mom.
00:15:49 I'll do it.
00:15:50 I can do this.
00:15:51 I can do this.
00:15:59 I'll do it.
00:16:00 [gunshot]
00:16:08 What?
00:16:11 No, Noy!
00:16:12 What?
00:16:13 I'll do it.
00:16:14 I'll do it.
00:16:15 [dramatic music]
00:16:28 [dramatic music]
00:16:30 [dramatic music]
00:16:56 Noy,
00:16:57 your friends are outside.
00:16:59 They're asking you to go out.
00:17:01 Tell them that I feel bad.
00:17:06 How can you not feel bad?
00:17:10 You've been in bed all day.
00:17:12 You're right.
00:17:13 Here.
00:17:27 Put this on.
00:17:28 You know, you're not just happy to see me moving.
00:17:33 You're getting on my nerves.
00:17:35 You're invalid.
00:17:38 You're not paralyzed.
00:17:41 You're not different from those two.
00:17:43 Help yourself.
00:17:46 Bro, I'm out of beer.
00:17:58 Let's order another one.
00:17:59 One for the road.
00:18:00 Before we go home.
00:18:01 Hey, hey, hey.
00:18:02 I'm different.
00:18:03 Why did you leave last night?
00:18:05 Who's the girl you were looking for?
00:18:09 You know, the three of you.
00:18:10 You're like Nonoy.
00:18:11 Of course, he's our idol.
00:18:14 What are we going to do?
00:18:15 Bebop is good at it.
00:18:16 He's an idol.
00:18:17 Wait a minute.
00:18:18 Don't mess with Sam.
00:18:19 I'm just a main suitor.
00:18:20 You're really good at flirting.
00:18:23 That was before.
00:18:24 Bro, you're still good.
00:18:26 You just don't want to use it.
00:18:28 That's right, Nonoy.
00:18:29 Do you want to test it?
00:18:31 That's a good idea.
00:18:33 He's just like him.
00:18:34 It's coming.
00:18:35 Look.
00:18:36 Is it nice?
00:18:37 Bro, it's sexy.
00:18:38 It's beautiful.
00:18:39 It's really nice.
00:18:40 Nonoy, Nonoy.
00:18:41 You're the type.
00:18:42 It's okay.
00:18:43 Type, type.
00:18:44 Even if I'm the type,
00:18:45 I won't be tempted.
00:18:46 It won't be my type.
00:18:47 Look at him.
00:18:48 This is Nonoy.
00:18:49 It's before.
00:18:50 Don't get close to him.
00:18:51 What?
00:18:52 What?
00:18:53 Are you the type?
00:18:54 Can you stop me?
00:18:55 He said okay.
00:18:56 He's the type.
00:18:57 It's good that you're close to him.
00:18:58 Tell him that you want to know him.
00:19:00 I didn't say that.
00:19:01 Did you hear that?
00:19:02 He wants to know him.
00:19:03 Go ahead.
00:19:04 Bro, there's no such thing.
00:19:05 He wants to know him.
00:19:06 He's shy.
00:19:07 I'll go ahead.
00:19:08 Go ahead.
00:19:09 Just be quiet.
00:19:10 If you don't want to read it,
00:19:12 I'll read it.
00:19:13 Excuse me, Miss.

00:22:09 What is it?
00:22:13 To be honest,
00:22:16 we paid the check to help you.
00:22:19 What?
00:22:23 You're so rude.
00:22:25 Don't get mad.
00:22:27 We have something else to tell you.
00:22:29 Okay.
00:22:31 Continue your insults to me.
00:22:32 Continue.
00:22:33 And you know what, Nonoy?
00:22:34 When we were about to pay,
00:22:36 you thought that I didn't want to accept the money.
00:22:39 That's true, and he said,
00:22:41 "You can come again, just call him."
00:22:43 Yes.
00:22:45 You're really a type of guy.
00:22:48 That's why we're telling you this.
00:22:50 You're fooling me.
00:22:52 We're not fooling you.
00:22:54 This is the number of the check.
00:22:56 Call him.
00:22:58 You're the one who's stupid.
00:23:00 He said that you're good at performing.
00:23:03 What's wrong with you, Nonoy?
00:23:05 You just cut your foot,
00:23:07 but don't cut your brain.
00:23:10 You're still the same, Nonoy.
00:23:12 You're still stupid.
00:23:15 You still have a beautiful voice.
00:23:18 And most of all,
00:23:20 you're still good at performing.
00:23:23 That's right.
00:23:24 With the help of his family and his bandmates,
00:23:28 Nonoy gradually accepted his cousin.
00:23:32 He started singing again in bars,
00:23:35 but the society seems to look down on people like his cousin.
00:23:40 And this is the new obstacle that he needs to face.

00:24:50 [applause]
00:24:56 Hey, Lumpo.
00:25:01 Here.
00:25:02 Just ride with us and sing.
00:25:03 I might get more money.
00:25:04 How much do you give me?
00:25:06 Twenty?
00:25:07 Twenty.
00:25:08 Bro, bro.
00:25:10 I'll give you an extra fifty.
00:25:11 Just leave.
00:25:12 Just remember that we're the only ones who will sing.
00:25:14 Yes, it's better if I'm your boss.
00:25:16 Just ride with us.
00:25:18 Hey!
00:25:19 Hey!
00:25:20 Hey!
00:25:21 Hey!
00:25:22 What are you doing?
00:25:23 Hey!
00:25:24 Nonoy!
00:25:25 Get him!
00:25:26 Hey!
00:25:27 Hey!
00:25:28 Get him!
00:25:29 Hey!
00:25:30 Let go of me!
00:25:31 Nonoy!
00:25:32 Ouch!
00:25:33 Ouch!
00:25:34 [music]
00:25:44 Bro, I hope you didn't notice.
00:25:46 It's not a big deal.
00:25:48 I'm sorry.
00:25:51 I couldn't stop myself.
00:25:53 It's okay, bro.
00:25:55 They're just fools.
00:25:57 They look like fools.
00:26:00 Lumpo, by the way.
00:26:02 He's so brave.
00:26:05 He suddenly jumped.
00:26:07 They're done.
00:26:09 You know what?
00:26:13 I'm really going to sing.
00:26:14 Why, bro?
00:26:17 It's hard.
00:26:19 I might get in trouble later whenever I'm on stage.
00:26:23 You might get in trouble too.
00:26:25 It's okay, bro.
00:26:26 No, it's not okay.
00:26:29 Thank you so much.
00:26:32 But I think
00:26:34 I'll just stay here.
00:26:37 I still have something to do.
00:26:40 What is it?
00:26:42 I don't know.
00:26:43 Dad,
00:26:47 I thought about what you told me.
00:26:51 I want to continue my studies in medicine.
00:26:55 Well, good son.
00:26:59 Good.
00:27:01 Good that you changed your mind.
00:27:03 Don't worry.
00:27:07 I'll help you with your studies.
00:27:10 Just one thing,
00:27:12 you've got to have the right motive
00:27:16 why you want to be a doctor.
00:27:18 Not just because you don't have a direction in life.
00:27:22 Being a doctor is a career,
00:27:26 not just a profession.
00:27:28 Clear?
00:27:29 But for now, I'm just thinking about one thing.
00:27:34 If I become a doctor,
00:27:36 I'll be able to help more people like me.
00:27:39 That's my goal.
00:27:40 Grandpa started studying medicine again.
00:27:51 Along with this,
00:27:52 he also helped in various foundations and organizations
00:27:56 for the disabled.
00:27:59 [music]
00:28:01 Nonoy completely forgot singing in the school.
00:28:15 But one day,
00:28:17 Nonoy?
00:28:19 Mom, what is it?
00:28:21 There's someone downstairs.
00:28:23 They want to talk to you about this in MetroPOP.
00:28:27 [music]
00:28:29 I don't sing anymore.
00:28:41 And I think I can't sing in front of thousands of people.
00:28:46 It's a waste, Nonoy.
00:28:48 For the disabled, this song
00:28:51 will give more energy
00:28:56 if one of the disabled also sings this.
00:28:58 I'm sorry.
00:29:02 I really don't want to perform anymore.
00:29:05 I respect your decision.
00:29:08 But this is the lyric script.
00:29:11 Read it.
00:29:14 Maybe you'll change your mind.

00:30:56 [music]
00:30:58 A song written for the disabled
00:31:02 has once again made Nonoy's interest to return to singing.
00:31:06 So even if there is a mistake,
00:31:08 he will face the fate again.
00:31:10 [music]
00:31:13 Oh, how are you?
00:31:18 I'm nervous.
00:31:20 It's okay.
00:31:22 Nonoy, I want to tell you that
00:31:25 what you're doing is a big deal.
00:31:28 Thank you very much.

00:35:31 Bro, you're so good at performing.
00:35:35 What's your song, bro?
00:35:37 You're so good at this.
00:35:39 You should be a solo performer.
00:35:42 You don't need us anymore.
00:35:46 You're so good.
00:35:47 You know what, son?
00:35:49 Your message is beautiful.
00:35:51 It's good that you changed your mind.
00:35:54 And I'm so proud of you, son.
00:35:57 Thank you, mom.
00:35:59 How's it going, bro?
00:36:01 You're going to perform again?
00:36:03 Bro, you know I'm studying.
00:36:05 This is just one-time, big-time.
00:36:07 Excuse me.
00:36:09 Yes?
00:36:11 I'm Sterra Nono Esoniga.
00:36:13 Yes, that's me.
00:36:15 I heard you perform.
00:36:16 I'm so impressed with you.
00:36:18 Thank you, everyone.
00:36:20 I'm Willie Cruz.
00:36:22 I have a recording company.
00:36:24 And what I want is for you to sing my songs.
00:36:28 [music]
00:36:30 And if you're interested,
00:36:33 I'll make you my own album.
00:36:37 [music]
00:36:41 Nonoy's first album was recorded right away.
00:36:44 It was a success.
00:36:46 And many people followed.
00:36:48 [music]
00:36:50 If I could finish my studies,
00:36:55 I hope I wouldn't have to face
00:37:03 you and be ashamed.
00:37:09 In my dreams, I have a dream.
00:37:15 I have no wealth and power.
00:37:21 My awakening is the fruit of a vow.
00:37:29 My mother is my only hope.
00:37:34 In my dreams, I can do something.
00:37:40 I can collect all the stars.
00:37:46 I can carry the heat of the wind.
00:37:53 I can stop the rain.
00:37:59 In my dreams, I can reach you.
00:38:08 Night after night, we sleep together.
00:38:17 Sharing lovely moments that spell forever.
00:38:24 Day after day, our love gets stronger.
00:38:32 Growing every minute that we get closer.
00:38:41 Isn't that Nonoy?
00:38:44 Yes, it is.
00:38:46 Nonoy!
00:38:47 [screams]
00:38:48 [screams]
00:38:50 [music]
00:38:52 I promise I will stay.
00:39:01 I'm with you all the way.
00:39:08 And time, they'll soon forget.
00:39:16 That you and I once met.
00:39:22 As long as deep inside,
00:39:29 I know it's love, not pride.
00:39:35 Then I will never stay, never stay good.
00:39:44 [music]
00:39:50 Willie, I think I should retire from singing.
00:39:58 Why? It's a waste. You're already famous.
00:40:03 I want to finish medicine first.
00:40:07 I can't do that because I have a lot of commitments.
00:40:11 Maybe you know that's what I really want.
00:40:14 Because that's the only way I can help people like me.
00:40:18 And that's why I returned to singing. Because of this.
00:40:22 And you will follow.
00:40:24 If you really think that's what you want.
00:40:27 But just an advice, Nonoy.
00:40:30 Sometimes this kind of opportunity comes to a person's life.
00:40:35 And you have to make the most out of it.
00:40:39 If you miss it, you won't be able to get it back.
00:40:42 You might regret it.
00:40:44 [music]
00:40:46 Despite the success he achieved in the world of recording,
00:40:50 Nonoy gave priority to his study of medicine.
00:40:55 In this belief, this is his true mission.
00:40:58 [music]
00:41:07 At the same time, Nonoy found Grace, the woman he will love for the rest of his life.
00:41:15 [music]
00:41:44 [music]
00:41:50 Oh, Mama and I will go out tonight. Join us.
00:41:54 Nonoy, join us. We haven't been together since you got married.
00:41:58 Come on, for the boys tonight.
00:42:01 No, no, there's a problem.
00:42:03 Because the board is coming, I need to review.
00:42:05 Actually, I'm just taking a break for a while.
00:42:07 You know, our friend is very serious.
00:42:11 It's not like that. He's really doing a lot.
00:42:14 Here, after the board, I'll vlog you.
00:42:18 I promise.
00:42:20 Okay, we'll count on you.
00:42:23 Wait, wait.
00:42:25 [phone ringing]
00:42:28 Hello?
00:42:31 Yes, hello. Good afternoon. May I speak to Mr. Nonoy Suniga, please?
00:42:35 Who is this?
00:42:37 Sir, this is the president of this office.
00:42:40 What is this office?
00:42:41 Uh, Office of the President of what?
00:42:46 Office of the President?
00:42:48 Who is Raul?
00:42:50 He's the president of the office.
00:42:52 [laughs]
00:42:54 Yes.
00:42:56 Okay.
00:43:03 Yes.
00:43:05 Okay. Thank you. Okay. Bye.
00:43:09 Bye.
00:43:10 Bro, who is that?
00:43:13 He said you're already paid by the Association, Juice.
00:43:15 Yes, maybe.
00:43:17 Who is that?
00:43:19 He said it's the Office of the President.
00:43:21 Of the Philippines?
00:43:23 Yes, Office of the President.
00:43:25 He said it's different.
00:43:27 I want to give a position to the government.
00:43:29 That's okay. What position?
00:43:31 He said he's the head of an agency for the disabled.
00:43:37 Nonoy!
00:43:38 Nonoy!
00:43:40 Grace.
00:43:41 They're showing on TV that all the political prisoners were released during the martial law.
00:43:47 What's going on now?
00:43:49 A group confessed that they're the ones who destroyed the Philippine Plaza.
00:43:53 Where are you going?
00:44:06 I'll find out where they are.
00:44:07 Why?
00:44:09 I need to see them.
00:44:10 They're the reason why I lost my job.
00:44:13 They're the reason for all the hardships I've been through.
00:44:17 I'm going to the school.
00:44:18 Those were chaotic times.
00:44:46 The government took our country.
00:44:48 That's why we need to do something to get our freedom back.
00:44:53 Many were hurt.
00:44:56 Many were lost.
00:44:58 But we fought for something.
00:45:00 That's what we need to fight for.
00:45:04 So that it's the same for our fellow countrymen.
00:45:07 You're the reason for all the hardships.
00:45:15 Do you know what kind of hardships I've been through?
00:45:18 Just because of your fight?
00:45:20 We can't blame you if you're angry with us.
00:45:29 Like what we told you, many were hurt.
00:45:34 You're not the only one who lost a friend.
00:45:42 Whatever you've been through in prison,
00:45:44 it's your responsibility.
00:45:47 I'll accept whatever punishment they give me.
00:45:51 What I can't accept is what they did to our countrymen.
00:45:57 What did they do? What do you mean?
00:46:02 Many like us,
00:46:04 when we were caught in a rally,
00:46:07 we were thrown out of our homes.
00:46:10 The women were being forced to work as slaves.
00:46:12 The men were being forced to work as slaves.
00:46:17 Some were even killed.
00:46:19 We didn't see the others.
00:46:21 We didn't know what they were doing to us.
00:46:24 Whatever happened to us back then,
00:46:30 it's time to accept it.
00:46:38 So, my friend, I hope you'll forgive us.
00:46:42 After hearing their story,
00:46:47 Nonoy didn't get angry at the people responsible for the accident
00:46:52 that resulted in his leg being cut.
00:46:55 Meanwhile, Nonoy had to make another heavy decision
00:47:01 after he was given a position in the government.
00:47:05 My board exam is coming up, Dad.
00:47:08 At the same time, the President is asking for my answer
00:47:11 regarding the leadership of the Disabled Agency.
00:47:14 You know me, I can't do both at the same time.
00:47:19 Well, son, I guess you're lucky.
00:47:23 Lucky? How did I become lucky?
00:47:26 Because there are many people who,
00:47:29 throughout their lives, are looking for...
00:47:32 even if their lives are meaningful,
00:47:36 they're still in a mess.
00:47:37 But in your case, it's already there.
00:47:40 All you have to do is to grab it.
00:47:42 You are given the chance to prove that you can handle anything.
00:47:47 Your life will be meaningful.
00:47:49 What's a bit...
00:47:53 I can say it, but...
00:47:57 sometimes, a person's disability
00:48:01 is his greatest asset.
00:48:05 Maybe that's why...
00:48:07 Maybe that's why God allowed you to be disabled
00:48:13 so that you can have a direction in your life.
00:48:18 Yes, but Dad,
00:48:23 I'm already a doctor for a while.
00:48:26 I can already earn money.
00:48:28 I can already help people like me.
00:48:33 But...
00:48:34 you don't have to be a doctor
00:48:39 to help people like you.
00:49:02 You're right, Dad.
00:49:03 If I can help people like me,
00:49:09 I will accept what the President asked me to do.
00:49:15 Good.
00:49:19 As the head of the government agency,
00:49:30 Nonoy started a project for people like him who are disabled.
00:49:35 And when he felt that he was able to accomplish his mission in life,
00:49:39 he brought back something that has never been taken away from his heart.
00:49:46 And that is singing.
00:49:58 What? You want to record again?
00:50:00 And make an album?
00:50:02 Yes, if I can.
00:50:05 You know that I miss singing.
00:50:09 You know, Nonoy, I'll tell you the truth.
00:50:13 Recording is hard.
00:50:15 Only rock bands are selling now.
00:50:18 And the turnover is fast.
00:50:20 What do you mean?
00:50:22 Maybe we're past that.
00:50:25 Let's not do it.
00:50:28 [Music]
00:50:31 [Music]
00:50:33 [Music]
00:50:44 [Music]
00:50:46 [Music]
00:51:15 Why are you looking at me like that?
00:51:17 Nothing.
00:51:20 I'm just thinking about what God really plans for me.
00:51:26 In my singing,
00:51:31 in becoming a doctor,
00:51:33 in being the head of the government agency.
00:51:36 I don't know.
00:51:37 Why are you thinking about that?
00:51:41 [Music]
00:51:43 I guess because,
00:51:48 first of all,
00:51:51 I missed the chance to become a doctor.
00:51:54 Second, I missed my singing career.
00:51:58 Now,
00:52:01 now what?
00:52:04 There's nothing, right?
00:52:06 Don't worry.
00:52:09 Wherever we go, you'll still be known by people.
00:52:12 And your songs are still played on the radio.
00:52:16 I know, I know.
00:52:18 Everything is fine now.
00:52:21 It's all in the past.
00:52:23 Now, tell me, what do I have?
00:52:27 There's nothing, right?
00:52:28 I'm here.
00:52:38 And your children.
00:52:39 And one more thing, even though you haven't taken your board exams,
00:52:48 you're still able to get medical treatment, right?
00:52:51 You're able to get treatment from other people.
00:52:54 You're able to save lives.
00:52:56 And you're able to help the poor.
00:53:00 Do you still remember the one in the airplane?
00:53:05 The one that hit you in the heart?
00:53:06 And one more thing,
00:53:07 your medical missions,
00:53:10 they're still going on, right?
00:53:12 But you're different from the other doctors there.
00:53:20 You,
00:53:25 you don't need to pay for your medical treatment.
00:53:33 [music]
00:53:36 And because of that,
00:53:40 I'm very proud
00:53:47 to have a husband like you.
00:53:50 And I know,
00:54:00 that I'm not the only one who's proud.
00:54:02 Not even your parents.
00:54:10 And I'm very sure
00:54:17 that in the future,
00:54:26 our children will be proud of you.
00:54:29 And we're proud of you, Nonoy.
00:54:37 Forever.
00:54:53 [music]
00:54:56 Daddy, let's go to the toy store, okay?
00:55:22 You said that?
00:55:23 Yes.
00:55:24 I'll take you there, don't worry.
00:55:26 Okay.
00:55:27 Wait, wait, wait.
00:55:29 Listen.
00:55:30 Daddy, isn't that your voice?
00:55:32 Yes.
00:55:33 Your voice is really beautiful, Daddy.
00:55:36 You're making me laugh.
00:55:39 Okay, let's go.
00:55:41 More toys.
00:55:43 [music]
00:55:49 [music]
00:56:18 Of course, Nonoy,
00:56:19 the turning point in your life,
00:56:21 you got injured and your leg was cut, right?
00:56:25 Yes.
00:56:26 What's the feeling
00:56:28 when a part of your body is cut?
00:56:30 It's frustrating.
00:56:33 How do you overcome that?
00:56:35 How do you overcome
00:56:37 the feeling that you're not complete?
00:56:40 Well, family support,
00:56:42 your friends, of course,
00:56:44 keep on praying.
00:56:45 Your faith in God is very important.
00:56:47 But you admit that
00:56:49 that incident derailed your life?
00:56:53 When that happened,
00:56:54 I really didn't want to sing anymore.
00:56:56 I just wanted to go back to my studies.
00:56:59 When the bomb exploded,
00:57:01 I accepted that I was going back to medicine.
00:57:06 No more bitterness with you
00:57:08 because of that incident?
00:57:10 A few months.
00:57:11 Just a few months? That's fast.
00:57:12 Maybe not even a year.
00:57:14 Against the people who did that to you?
00:57:16 Against the people who did that to you?
00:57:17 Yes.
00:57:18 How was it to forgive?
00:57:20 I told myself,
00:57:22 that bomb wasn't for me.
00:57:25 Anyone can be hit.
00:57:27 Yes.
00:57:28 What happened was,
00:57:29 I was there at that place,
00:57:31 at that time,
00:57:32 when that bomb exploded.
00:57:34 When the Corry government came in,
00:57:37 took over,
00:57:38 they were one of the missing people.
00:57:40 Then we met at a place.
00:57:42 I asked them.
00:57:43 Did you continue singing?
00:57:46 That was my career.
00:57:48 I still sing.
00:57:49 I'm still with Kapwa Kumahal Ko.
00:57:52 I have a regular radio program,
00:57:56 "Tagbalan sa Kalusugan."
00:57:57 What are your ambitions?
00:57:59 I just want to be in the entertainment field.
00:58:04 And of course,
00:58:06 help in the medical field.
00:58:08 What is your biggest lesson?
00:58:10 Your faith in God must be strong.
00:58:14 Losing something,
00:58:15 losing a part of your body,
00:58:17 that's a different kind.
00:58:18 It's good if you have a strong faith.
00:58:21 But do you still want to make albums?
00:58:24 Yes.
00:58:25 New songs and all of that?
00:58:26 You asked the right question.
00:58:28 I'm also doing a vlog.
00:58:29 I'm making an album.
00:58:30 You're making a new album?
00:58:32 Okay.
00:58:33 "Under Viva."
00:58:34 When will it be released?
00:58:37 This month, maybe.
00:58:38 Okay, congratulations.
00:58:39 And thank you very much for giving us the opportunity
00:58:42 to have a part of your life.
00:58:45 Thank you very much.
00:58:46 Okay, Mel.
00:58:47 Thank you so much.
00:58:48 It's our pleasure.
00:58:50 Of course, for the "Magtakailan Man" and "GMA7."
00:58:54 Thank you very much.
