00:31I'm sick.
00:34I have a problem with my life.
00:38I'm dying.
00:41How many days in the world?
00:46The problem of my parents is drugs.
00:49And I don't think I can accept it.
00:52I wish I could have at least one child.
00:57Just me and my mother.
01:00I'm sorry.
01:05Congratulations.
01:30Thank you.
02:00Thank you.
02:31We met him when he joined the Starstruck The Nationwide Invasion.
02:37He challenged us to his strong voice and cheerful disposition.
02:43But behind his smile,
02:46there is a hidden and shy face,
02:50full of courage,
02:52fighting a deadly disease of blood.
02:55A battle that he is still facing.
02:58Dear friends,
03:00let's listen to the story of the courage and determination of Gian Carlo.
03:08Doctor,
03:10why hasn't the wound of Gian stopped bleeding yet?
03:16We've been here for three hours and you haven't done anything yet.
03:20It's because of the condition of the child,
03:23hemophilia.
03:25Hemophilia?
03:26Hemophilia?
03:28I still don't understand that.
03:31I called Grandma.
03:33We know that since Gian was born,
03:37he has hemophilia.
03:40That's the condition of the blood that the patient lacks platelets.
03:48Platelets?
03:50Yes, that's the condition of the blood
03:52or component of the blood that creates the wound of the patient.
03:59If the patient doesn't have platelets,
04:03the bleeding of his wound will not stop.
04:06Doctor, what will happen to my nephew?
04:09We'll have just to wait for the bleeding of Gian's wound to stop.
04:13If not, we need to transfuse other blood to get platelets.
04:22I'll go ahead.
04:25Thank you, Doctor.
04:26Thank you.
04:27I'll go ahead.
04:31Gian?
04:33Gian, my son.
04:35Mommy.
04:39We're almost here.
04:44I hope you'll get better soon.
04:46Mom, please, not now.
04:49How's my little boy?
04:51Fortunately, Gian was saved from the accident.
04:56Although it took a long time due to his condition,
04:59his wound continued to bleed.
05:02Meanwhile, Gian had another sibling,
05:06but it was not the reason to stop the growing problem in front of their family.
05:20Where did you come from?
05:23Your husband left you on Christmas Eve.
05:27Didn't you think about your son?
05:33Mom, I was just worried.
05:37Do you think I don't know what you're doing to your husband?
05:41Until now, you're still stuck on the prohibition of medicine.
05:45You need to stop that.
05:47You promised me that you'll let him go.
05:48Until now, you haven't fulfilled your promise.
05:52Mom, stop it.
05:54Don't bother me.
05:56This is my life.
05:59I can't not bother you.
06:01There are women who are homeless.
06:04Have mercy on your son.
06:08Grandma, Mommy, do you have a problem?
06:12No, I don't.
06:14We were just talking to your mom.
06:19Mommy, look at this.
06:22I have a gift for you.
06:24Merry Christmas.
06:40Even though Gian loves his parents,
06:42they cannot ignore the use of the prohibition of medicine.
06:48Gian was deeply affected by their help in the prohibition of medicine.
06:54Mommy and Daddy, aren't we coming with you?
06:59Mom, Mom, where are you taking Gian?
07:05My child, this is the right one.
07:07Mom, you can't take my son away from me.
07:13Your son? Why?
07:15When did you become his mother?
07:18Can't you see?
07:20As long as you don't change,
07:22as long as you don't leave your vision,
07:24there's no good future for the child.
07:28Mom, I'm his mother.
07:32Son, being a mother is not just about being a mother.
07:37Believe me, this is the right thing to do.
07:40Mom, I can't do this anymore.
07:43Let go of your vision.
07:45Gian will not leave you.
07:51If you can't leave drugs,
07:55have mercy on your son.
07:58Let him be.
08:00Let your son be.
08:03We'll take care of him.
08:05When you're ready,
08:07when you're clean,
08:09you'll take him.
08:11I won't let you take Gian away from me.
08:14Not at all.
08:16This is for his own good.
08:18Let's go.
08:20Let's go, Mom.
08:22Son,
08:24join your grandmother, okay?
08:26She'll take good care of you.
08:30I'm not good enough for you.
08:34But,
08:37one day, we'll be together, okay?
08:40I'll follow you.
08:42I promise you.
08:46I'll follow you.
08:48Come here, Gian.
08:50Come here.
08:52Mom.
08:54Come here.
08:56Mom.
08:57Mom.
08:59Mom, take care of him.
09:06Gian.
09:08Gian.
09:15Ever since he moved to Iloilo,
09:17Gian has never seen his parents again.
09:21They also parted ways.
09:23Until many years passed.
09:25Gian's grandmother,
09:27her late parents,
09:36Gian,
09:38what time is it?
09:39You might be late for school.
09:40Yes, Grandma.
09:41Wait a minute.
09:42Didn't I tell you not to play basketball?
09:44Don't get hurt.
09:45You can't get hurt.
09:47I'll go inside, Grandma.
09:49Okay.
09:53Be careful.
09:56One more.
09:58One more.
09:59Gian is my friend.
10:00Gian is my friend.
10:03Gian, let's play a game.
10:05What game?
10:07Just bet.
10:09I have something to do.
10:11I think you're just pretending.
10:13Give us the money.
10:15You've been rejecting us for several times.
10:18Let's play.
10:25Let's play.
10:46Gian's grandmother was the only one who got hurt.
10:49But because he's a hemophiliac,
10:52his beating didn't stop.
10:56Gian's grandmother had a big bag of blood.
10:59But his wound still didn't heal.
11:04Doc, what can happen?
11:08I'll tell you.
11:10Hemophiliacs are like that.
11:13Sometimes, Traitor,
11:15if Gian's beating doesn't stop,
11:19he might run out of blood.
11:21He might die.
11:25He might die.
11:49Are you still crying, Grandma?
11:50Yes.
11:54I just got hurt.
11:57Are you trying to hide it from me, Grandma?
12:00No.
12:03It's nothing.
12:06I know that you're crying because of me.
12:13I'm sorry.
12:17Sorry for what?
12:19I'm not listening to you.
12:23I know that I'm not allowed to get hurt.
12:27I'm still playing basketball.
12:32You don't have to apologize.
12:35It's not your fault.
12:36Remember that.
12:38Don't worry.
12:41Nothing bad will happen to me.
12:44I'm just fine.
12:45One day, I'll be discharged from this hospital.
12:49I'll stop using my lips.
12:52You'll see.
12:53Everything will be fine.
12:55Nothing bad will happen to me.
13:00For the first time,
13:02Gian and his family felt the real danger of hemophilia.
13:08Even though they were scared,
13:10Gian was brave enough
13:11to not let his loved ones down.
13:15But everyone knew that
13:17Gian could die at any time.
13:25I don't have a scar anymore.
13:33This is our house.
13:35This is where I lived when I was a child.
13:37This is our house where I lived when I was a child.
13:42Grandma?
13:44Aunt?
13:50Hello.
13:52Good morning.
13:53Mommy.
13:55Daddy.
13:59Oh, dear.
14:01Why are you so surprised to see us?
14:03What do you mean?
14:05You know, we have good news for you.
14:09We talked to the doctor.
14:11He told us that you're not sick anymore.
14:17What do you mean?
14:19You don't need to be afraid of getting hurt.
14:22Son, you're doing great.
14:25Oh, dear.
14:27Let's not talk about that.
14:29Do you want to eat?
14:30Are you hungry?
14:34I'm happy that you're hungry.
14:37Thank you, Mommy.
14:39I can't believe this is just a dream.
14:57Gian?
14:59Gian?
15:01Gian?
15:02Gian?
15:03Gian, are you okay?
15:05You were snoring earlier.
15:09I had a dream.
15:11Huh?
15:14I'm not sick anymore.
15:17And,
15:20I'm with Mommy and Daddy.
15:23I'm happy because I'm fine and I'm with them.
15:27That's enough, Tana.
15:29I don't need to get sick, Grandma.
15:33Why do I have to stay away from my parents?
15:39Son,
15:41if you want, I can look for Daddy and Mommy.
15:45They're in Cebu.
15:47Don't.
15:50Why would I look for them?
15:53Are they looking for me?
15:56I grew up without being looked for.
15:58I grew up without being looked for.
16:03Without being looked after.
16:05Gian?
16:08Maybe,
16:11they don't want to see me.
16:14They don't want to be with me.
16:18Maybe that's why they're not making an effort.
16:25But, I'm happy that we're together.
16:29Okay.
16:37Am I disturbing you?
16:39I was just checking on Gian.
16:41It's okay.
16:49Your wound is still fresh.
16:51It's not healing yet.
16:54Gian's wound is one month old.
16:55Gian, the transfusion we're doing is not effective anymore.
17:00A lot of blood is being lost.
17:03And it's obvious that he's getting weaker.
17:05Doc,
17:08is there nothing we can do?
17:11There's a procedure that we can try.
17:25What?
17:43With God's mercy,
17:45Gian also recovered after the procedure of burning his wound in his mouth.
17:51Because of that experience,
17:52a lot of changes happened in his life.
17:55A lot of things needed to be avoided and changed
17:59in order to avoid illness,
18:01wound, or disease.
18:03And because he can no longer play sports,
18:06Gian decided to give his attention to music.
18:10Something that will give him direction towards a better life.
18:23Thank you.
18:35Gian, you're so good.
18:37Thank you.
18:38What's your name?
18:39Sarah.
18:40Why?
18:41That's an audition form for Starstruck.
18:44Starstruck?
18:46Fill it up.
18:48Why?
18:49Because you'll join Starstruck.
18:50Are you crazy?
18:52You know that I'm shy, right?
18:54Why will you join Starstruck?
18:56Just fill it up.
18:57You can do it.
19:00Because he's shy, he didn't want to join Starstruck.
19:05But because of his friends' insistence,
19:09Gian decided to audition.
19:21You're feeling my kiss.
19:25I'm crazy for you.
19:42Grandma,
19:44you're making me tired.
19:46Why don't you let me watch?
19:47What if something happens?
19:49Grandma, this is nothing.
19:51Your grandma is getting old.
19:53By the way,
19:54how was the audition for Starstruck?
19:58It's been a few months already.
19:59They haven't called me yet.
20:01I think it's over.
20:05Gian didn't pass the audition for Starstruck.
20:09Until one day,
20:13Hi!
20:14I have good news.
20:15Because of the thousands of people who auditioned for Starstruck,
20:18you're in the top 40 for Starstruck National Audition.
20:21And I have your ticket for tomorrow.
20:23Gian needs to stay in Manila for Starstruck.
20:27Because of this, he needs to hide some things.
20:32Grandma, why aren't you with us?
20:34Gian, we came from the doctor the other day.
20:36And the doctor said that your grandma needs to stay at home.
20:41I feel sorry for your grandma.
20:43You're the one we remember.
20:45Can you handle the activities here at Starstruck?
20:48Especially with your illness,
20:50your hemophilia.
20:52Gian,
20:54did you tell them about your condition?
20:58No.
21:00And?
21:01And you didn't tell them?
21:05At first, all of this was just a game to me.
21:07But now,
21:09I want to win.
21:11I'm afraid, auntie.
21:13I'm afraid that if they find out about my condition,
21:17I might be disqualified.
21:19Or they might laugh at me.
21:21Or they might give me a special treatment.
21:24What I want is for everything to be normal.
21:28Just like other people.
21:31If they find out about my condition,
21:33everything might change.
21:35That's why,
21:36I don't want to tell them, auntie.
21:42Gian's world changed
21:44when he joined Starstruck.
21:47He made new friends
21:49and new fans.
21:51But because of his condition,
21:53he was slowly affected by Gian's illness,
21:57and his intense fatigue.
22:00Are you okay, Gian?
22:03Yes, I'm okay.
22:05You look really tired.
22:07We didn't do anything heavy today.
22:12Yes, I know.
22:14I feel like I'm always tired.
22:18But I'm not tired.
22:20I'm not tired.
22:22I'm not tired.
22:24I'm not tired.
22:26I'm not tired.
22:27I feel like I'm always tired.
22:30I feel weak.
22:32Do you have a headache?
22:34No, I don't have a headache.
22:37I'm fine.
22:38Don't worry about me.
22:40Okay, take a rest early.
22:43Okay, kids.
22:44Let's pack up.
22:45Let's go home.
22:55Gian?
22:58Auntie, why are you looking like that?
23:00Your mom called.
23:02She watched you on TV.
23:04She wants to talk to you.
23:08Don't worry, auntie.
23:10I'm not ready yet.
23:12Maybe one day, I'll be ready.
23:15But not yet.
23:31That's why I hid because
23:34I don't want you to laugh at me.
23:37I don't want you to laugh at me.
23:40That's why
23:42I don't want to hurt you.
23:46I'm sick.
23:51My life is over.
23:57I'm going to die.
24:02I'm going to die.
24:04Juan!
24:11Wonderful, Gian.
24:12Wonderful, Gian.
24:14The scene was beautiful.
24:16Thank you, director.
24:17Okay.
24:18Excuse me.
24:19Okay.
24:22Vivo, your next.
24:23Yes.
24:28Gian?
24:30Auntie.
24:31Gian, are you okay?
24:32Auntie, I'm scared.
24:33Why?
24:37My nose has been bleeding for days.
24:39I don't know.
24:41Maybe this is it.
24:43This is what I'm saying, Gian.
24:44Maybe it's because you're so stressed, Gian.
24:47Maybe you have internal bleeding.
24:49Gian, you know that it's bad.
24:51You might have complications because of your condition.
24:55Let's stop this, Gian.
24:56Please.
24:57Auntie, don't do this.
24:58Let me do this.
25:00If not, my nose will bleed.
25:03That's why I'll stop.
25:10Okay.
25:36Lord,
25:38I'm thankful.
25:42I'm thankful for everything you've given me.
25:48But I hope you won't be angry if I ask for more.
25:54I hope I can last longer in Starstruck.
26:00I hope I can last longer in what I'm doing now.
26:02I hope nothing bad will happen to my condition.
26:08I hope whatever is in my body now,
26:12I hope it won't happen again.
26:17I'm begging you, Lord.
26:21Please don't take everything back from me.
26:27I'm begging you, Lord.
26:28I'm begging you, Lord.
26:31The Lord heard Gian's prayer.
26:35His condition got better until he got into Magic 6 of Starstruck.
26:42Gian of Iloilo!
26:45Not long after, Gian went with other Magic 6 to different places in the Philippines
26:51for their nationwide tour.
26:54One of their destinations is Cebu.
26:59Wow!
27:03Wow, Gian, there are so many people.
27:05I'm not used to this.
27:07Yeah, there are a lot of people who know us.
27:09Did you see how many people are clapping for me?
27:12What are they clapping for you?
27:13They're clapping for me because you're with me.
27:16Gian, I want to talk to you.
27:19Who?
27:20It's important.
27:21Go to the studio.
27:23Okay.
27:24Take care.
27:25Mark, what are you doing?
27:28What are you doing?
27:29What are you doing?
27:31What are you doing?
27:36What?
27:59Son, how are you?
28:01I'm okay.
28:07Is that you?
28:12You're a big boy now.
28:16When we last saw each other, you were like that.
28:22Son, you know I have a lot of sins.
28:25I didn't fulfill my promise to you.
28:31I told you that I will follow you.
28:35I will follow you.
28:37I couldn't do it.
28:41I couldn't do it.
28:44I became weak.
28:48I became weak.
28:51I became weak.
28:53I became weak.
28:55I couldn't take care of myself anymore.
29:02You know,
29:05I regretted it.
29:07I was the first one who got hurt because of you.
29:12But now,
29:14I'm clean now.
29:16I don't need anything anymore.
29:23I will show you
29:25who I really am.
29:56I hid this.
30:01I know that whenever I'm sad,
30:05whenever I miss you,
30:10I look at this
30:12no matter what.
30:15No matter what,
30:17I'm happy.
30:19No matter what, I'm smiling.
30:21No matter what, I'm smiling.
30:27Mommy, that's enough.
30:33I'm afraid of you.
30:35Don't be.
30:39But I'm happy now
30:41that auntie is with me.
30:44But no matter when,
30:47I will never forget you, my mom.
30:51I will never forget you, my mom.
30:59Gian's mother is from a different family.
31:02Her father is in the middle of his rehab.
31:05But in those moments,
31:08Gian felt that his family was reunited.
31:12In his mind,
31:14it felt like his humanity was reunited
31:16even for a few moments.
31:18I was just really amazed
31:20at the transformation.
31:22He looks like a real star already.
31:27In my heart, I was saying,
31:29just in my heart, I was saying,
31:33wow, this is my son.
31:36I'm sorry.
31:39The last man to enter the final four is
31:45Gian Carlos!
31:47Gian!
31:54Not long after,
31:56the biggest day in Gian's life came.
31:59The starstruck,
32:01the nationwide invasion,
32:03final judgment.
32:05But unfortunately,
32:08And this season's starstruck
32:10ultimate male survivor is
32:14Marky Selo!
32:18You know, Gian,
32:20you shouldn't think about it too much.
32:22Because you did everything you could,
32:25and you've come a long way.
32:28I'm not sad, auntie.
32:30I'm happy with what God has given me.
32:37Mom is here.
32:42Mom, we're here.
32:43Mom, we're here.
32:48I'm here, mom.
32:52I missed you so much, mom.
32:55I wish you were here with me when I was still in starstruck,
32:58so you could see me.
33:01You know, grandson,
33:04I watch you every night.
33:08I don't miss you.
33:10When you're on TV,
33:12I'm so happy
33:15to see my grandson on TV.
33:19If I could,
33:21I would scream
33:23so the whole country could watch.
33:28I didn't know you would make it.
33:33I'm so proud of you.
33:36I'm so proud of you.
33:38I'm so proud of you.
33:39I'm so proud of you.
33:44It's a shame
33:47that I can't be with your grandmother anymore.
33:51I'm weak.
33:57As the days went by,
33:59Gian had to face his secrets.
34:03First of all,
34:05I want to tell you how important starstruck is to me.
34:10I've learned a lot here.
34:14This is like my second family.
34:19Just like a family,
34:23you shouldn't blame anyone.
34:29I will face you all.
34:36I haven't had my birthday yet.
34:39I'm sick.
34:41Hemophilia.
34:44A blood abnormality.
34:49I'm not saying this because I'm scared.
34:53You might not accept me.
35:00I'm facing you now
35:04without hiding anything.
35:10Why would we not accept you because of your illness?
35:14You are Gian.
35:17Gian is happy.
35:19It's obvious.
35:22Our friend.
35:24Brother.
35:28That's what's important.
35:32Right?
35:34The news about Gian's condition came out.
35:37But contrary to what he expected,
35:39people's reaction to the news was positive.
35:43Gian, you have a lot of blessings.
35:46Yes, thank you very much.
35:48Gian.
35:50Yes, Ma'am.
35:52I'm from Haplus,
35:54a support group for people with hemophilia.
35:56Because of starstruck,
35:58we learned the story of your life.
36:00And because of that,
36:01a lot of people had hope.
36:03They were motivated, inspired,
36:05and learned that they can also fight hemophilia
36:08and not just be depressed
36:10or just stay at home.
36:12And because of that,
36:14we want you to be our spokesperson.
36:18It will be an honor for me, Ma'am.
36:20Really? Thank you very much again.
36:23You should thank me.
36:25It's an honor for me to give hope to people like me.
36:28Just like what you're saying,
36:30even if we have a condition that we can't choose,
36:32we can fight this.
36:34And in the end,
36:36we will be successful,
36:38we will be free,
36:40anytime.
36:42Thank you.
36:46Gian, do you know that a lot of children
36:49are now going through what you are going through?
36:54You know,
36:55you know that a lot of children are going through that.
36:58But for me,
37:00I really have a lack of something in life.
37:03You have a lack of something in life?
37:05Why is that?
37:07I feel like everything is forbidden to me,
37:10everything is nothing, everything is lacking.
37:12But look at it this way,
37:14even if there is a lack,
37:16God has already blessed you.
37:18For example, your aunt is there.
37:20Yes, this is my aunt.
37:22This is my aunt, Biko.
37:24She is my late parent.
37:26Everything that my parents should do,
37:29they did it.
37:31How is her condition, Biko?
37:33Because her illness is lifetime.
37:35The only thing we can do is just be careful.
37:38Does that make you insecure?
37:40There are times like that,
37:42like there is discrimination because there are things that are forbidden to you.
37:45What was forbidden to you?
37:47Sports.
37:48There is also eating that is not allowed.
37:51The lining of her stomach is getting hurt.
37:55Did you force them to go to India?
37:57No.
37:59The lives of the two children are not normal.
38:02So we decided to transfer them to India.
38:05So if you had the chance to speak to parents,
38:08what would you tell them?
38:10What their children really expect,
38:13like me,
38:15is love and care.
38:16And you will feel secure,
38:20that there is always someone there for you,
38:23who will not leave you.
38:25For my parents,
38:27I told my dad that I hope he will inspire me
38:32to go back to being an addict.
38:36He put God in the center of his heart.
38:39What about my aunt?
38:41When I joined Starstruck,
38:42I felt that she was giving me too much support.
38:46And I felt a bit ashamed because she did not give me the responsibility.
38:50To be honest, when they were young,
38:53it was hard for me to face my brother's situation.
38:57Yes.
38:59But as you said,
39:01the problem of the hemophilic children,
39:03they are very insecure.
39:05So when he took the initiative to join Starstruck,
39:08it was a big thing for us.
39:10Really?
39:12It's his ability to speak in front of people,
39:15to join programs.
39:17So for me,
39:19for him to see him join and make the effort,
39:22I think he only deserved our support.
39:25When I joined Starstruck,
39:27it was hard for me because of the language barrier.
39:30Did you have to study?
39:32What did you do to get rid of it?
39:34I just talked to them.
39:36They told me that 3-4 months is enough.
39:38But you did not forget to speak?
39:40No, I did not.
39:42Okay, tell us what you did.
39:44To the people of Iloilong,
39:46thank you for your support.
39:48First of all,
39:50please,
39:52let me know
39:54if you need anything.
39:56I will visit you if I have time.
39:59I will see you soon.
40:01What is the fulfillment for you?
40:03Of course, it's very fulfilling.
40:05Because from the start,
40:07I know that
40:08no matter how hard life is for a child,
40:12the Lord has a purpose in his life.
40:14And because of this,
40:16he became an inspiration to other children like him
40:19who are sick.
40:21More than the material blessings,
40:23more than the fame and the fortune,
40:25to be an inspiration to somebody
40:27is a great accomplishment.
40:29And JN, what is your ultimate happiness?
40:32Actually, I am content now
40:34with what is happening in my life.
40:35When I was young,
40:37I already accepted that they are gone.
40:39And we wish you all the luck.
40:41This is for you, Biko.
40:43Thank you.
40:45For somebody as nice as you,
40:47and you are a blessing.
40:49You are a blessing to JN.
40:51Thank you very much, JN.
40:53Thank you for watching
40:55Magpakailan Man,
40:57and for supporting me,
40:59the Marky family.
41:01Thank you, Starstruck.
41:03Thank you, Aunt Mel.
41:05Thank you, Uncle Ilo Ilo.
41:07Thank you to the people of Cebu.
41:10JN is truly proud
41:12of his courage
41:14in his struggle
41:16against the disease
41:18of hemophilia.
41:20For him,
41:22this condition is not a barrier
41:24in his life.
41:26Instead, he considers it
41:28a challenge,
41:30a great challenge
41:32to become stronger
41:33in the midst of trials.
41:35For JN,
41:37every day in his life
41:39is a blessing
41:41from the Lord.
41:44I am Aunt Mel Tiangco,
41:46and this is the story
41:48of each one of us
41:50today, tomorrow,
41:52and forever.
