00:28He was one of the favorites to win the last Starstruck The Nationwide Invasion.
00:34He was noticed and recognized early on because of his unique name and beautiful appearance.
00:41But who was he before he became famous?
00:45My friends, let's listen to the story of Iwamoto.
00:58🎵
01:28Good night, son. Go to sleep.
01:32Here, next to you, so you'll always be next to Papa.
01:36Good night.
01:38When will you come back?
01:42When you're recognized, I'll come back here.
01:46Promise?
01:47Yes, son. Promise.
01:49Go to sleep.
01:51Good night.
01:52Good night, Papa.
01:53🎵
01:57Papa.
01:59Yes, son?
02:00I love you.
02:02I love you too, son.
02:09Iwa was looking forward to the day of his graduation
02:13because he knew he would finally see his father.
02:17But on that important day...
02:20Let's take a picture.
02:22Mama, let's do it later when Papa arrives so we can complete the picture.
02:29Let's take a picture again when your father is here.
02:33Let's go now.
02:34I don't want to. I'll wait for Papa. He promised me.
02:42Son.
02:44Son.
02:48Mama, is Papa here?
02:51Son, I don't think your father will come.
02:54Let's go home. Let's just wait for him at home.
03:02Okay.
03:05Mama, why didn't Papa come?
03:09He promised me.
03:12Don't worry, son.
03:14When we get home, we'll call your father.
03:21Let's go.
03:24Hello, Dayan?
03:26This is Priscilla.
03:29I just wanted to ask if you have any news about my husband, Hiro.
03:35I've been trying to reach him on his phone.
03:39He hasn't called us for almost a month.
03:44I'm worried that something bad might have happened to him.
03:49Priscilla.
03:50I don't want him to get mad at me.
03:53But...
03:55Why?
03:58Did something happen to Hiro?
04:00Did he get into an accident?
04:03Mama, what happened to Papa?
04:08Priscilla, your husband is with someone else.
04:16What?
04:20Okay.
04:23Thank you for telling me.
04:29Mama, what happened to Papa?
04:34Where is he?
04:36When will he come back?
04:45Don't wait for your father.
04:51He will never come back to us.
04:53Mama!
05:01Iwa grew up knowing that her father left her.
05:07Until she grew up, she studied how to live without her father.
05:15Why are you late?
05:17I have a lot of guests.
05:19What time is it?
05:21I'm sorry, manager.
05:23It's hard for me to get a taxi.
05:24I'll fix it.
05:26Hurry up.
05:29Mama, where is Papa?
05:32He might be there.
05:34Papa is not there.
05:35He's in Japan.
05:37Let's go to Japan when we see him.
05:40Okay.
05:42When you grow up, we'll go to Papa's house.
05:45So don't be naughty.
05:46Okay.
05:49Son, I'm going to work.
05:52You take care of your brother.
05:53If you're hungry, just order from the waiters.
05:55It's the same as before.
05:57You know that.
05:58I'll follow you.
06:00Okay.
06:01My children are so nice.
06:03They take care of their mother.
06:04I'm going to work.
06:06I'm hungry.
06:09You're hungry again?
06:11Let's eat.
06:13What do you want to eat?
06:14After many years,
06:15the mother and daughter-in-law are used to
06:17going around the world
06:19with just the three of them.
06:21Until a man comes
06:23and knocks on the heart of the mother and daughter-in-law.
06:28I just want his appearance to change.
06:32It depends on what you want.
06:34I'm nervous.
06:35My expenses might be expensive.
06:37Okay.
06:39I'll take care of it.
06:40I'll arrange everything for you.
06:42What?
06:44What you're saying is not true.
06:46It's true. I promise.
06:47Really?
06:49Yes, it's true.
06:50I promise.
06:53My children,
06:54your uncle Jerry
06:56is going to build our garage outside.
06:58My children.
07:00Okay.
07:02Soon,
07:03the mother and daughter-in-law
07:05will become a couple.
07:09My son, you're awake.
07:11Come and have breakfast.
07:13Aileen,
07:14Tot, we made you a lunch.
07:17Why are you here so early?
07:26My child,
07:29your uncle Jerry is sleeping here.
07:31We don't want him here.
07:33Get him out of here.
07:35You're still young.
07:36We don't need him anymore, Mama.
07:39Our lives will be fine.
07:40My child,
07:42we'll be in trouble if that man enters our lives.
07:45Aileen, wait.
07:48Jerry, I'm sorry.
07:53Mama, why?
07:55Why do we need a man to enter our lives?
07:59Aren't you getting married yet?
08:01We don't need a father anymore.
08:04My child,
08:06I know why you're like this.
08:08It's because of your father, right?
08:11You're still looking for him, right?
08:13No.
08:14I don't care about him anymore.
08:16So stop that man.
08:19My child,
08:23a mother also needs to love her child.
08:27And love him too.
08:31I know you understand what I'm saying.
08:39And one more thing,
08:43I need your uncle Jerry's help.
08:47I need to take care of you while I'm gone.
08:52Where are you going?
08:57I'm going back to Japan.
09:01I'm working there.
09:03Mama, you can't.
09:05My child,
09:06we're already spending a lot.
09:11That's why
09:14even if it hurts inside, I have to do it.
09:18Mama.
09:28Iwa felt the presence of a new love of her mother.
09:33And this decision was foreign.
09:35Iwa had no choice but to accept this decision.
09:39It didn't take long for Iwa to leave for Japan
09:44to work there.
09:45Iwa and Mickey were left
09:47under the care of Jerry,
09:49who became their new father.
09:52It's good that you let me sleep.
09:56How's school?
09:58It's good.
10:04I made a snack for you.
10:06If you're hungry, just eat it.
10:11Why are you always here?
10:14I live here.
10:17I know you live here.
10:19What I mean is,
10:21why don't you have a job?
10:24I'm taking a rest.
10:26I have some projects to attend.
10:30One more thing,
10:31I have a job to take care of you two.
10:37By the way,
10:38this is Eileen and Mickey,
10:40the son of Priscilla.
10:43We're just having fun.
10:46Is that what you're telling me?
10:49A job to take care of us?
10:57What's your problem?
10:59Me?
11:00My problem is,
11:02I don't want anyone to drink here in our house.
11:05Let's go, Mickey.
11:06It didn't take long for Iwa and Mickey
11:09to become their new father.
11:17Our food is always like this.
11:21What's wrong with the fish?
11:23Nothing.
11:24But if our food is always like this,
11:27maybe it's a sign of calisthenics.
11:30Why?
11:31Don't mothers send their children to school?
11:36What do you mean?
11:37Your mom's money was stolen?
11:39That's what I'm talking about!
11:42Hey!
11:43You have no right to hurt my brother.
11:46Because first,
11:48you don't let us fight,
11:49and second,
11:50we don't care about you.
11:55I'm sorry.
12:14Don't cry.
12:16It won't happen again.
12:20Sister,
12:21is that how Papa is when he's angry?
12:24No.
12:27Papa?
12:29No.
12:31Papa is kind.
12:33Papa is a good person.
12:37Why are we being neglected?
12:41Why is he still not visiting us?
12:45I wish he was here,
12:47taking care of us.
12:51Don't worry.
12:52I'll find a way
12:54to find Papa for you.
12:57You always say that,
12:59but until now,
13:01I still haven't seen him.
13:06I promise you,
13:11Papa and I will be together again,
13:15and nothing will hurt you anymore.
13:18Huh?
13:22Huh?
13:52This is for you.
13:53Wow, Mommy! Thank you!
13:56There are also chocolates here.
14:00Oh, there's one for you.
14:02Here.
14:03This is for you.
14:12Don't you want me to bring it?
14:17It's not like that, Mom.
14:20Actually, I want it.
14:24Wait a minute.
14:26Do you feel bad?
14:27Are you sick?
14:28It's like you're not happy that I'm here.
14:33Of course.
14:35We miss you so much.
14:40What's the problem?
14:44Wait.
14:46Is it about your father, Jerry?
14:49Did you do something to him?
14:53Mom.
14:56What?
14:57Didn't you see or talk to Papa in Japan?
15:06Because, Mom,
15:07Mickey is looking for him.
15:11I don't know what to tell him.
15:15I promised him
15:17that I will find a way for them to be together.
15:22Mom,
15:24please help me.
15:25I want to talk to Papa.
15:30In order for the children to be happy,
15:33Priscilla found a way
15:35for Iwa and Mickey to see their father again.
15:48Sister,
15:49I think that's Papa.
15:52Where?
15:54That's not him.
15:55He's just a kid.
15:56Sit down.
15:57I'm so excited.
15:58I'm so jealous of you.
16:09Mom,
16:12is that Papa?
16:15Yes, it's him.
16:16He's the one who took the pictures.
16:18Papa!
16:22Aileen?
16:27Aileen is Mickey.
16:32Aileen?
16:47Iwa's happiness was not enough
16:49for her father to be with her again.
16:52Because of this,
16:53her hope was fulfilled
16:55to have a happy family again.
16:58Wow, Mom.
16:59Mickey was so happy when he saw Papa.
17:02Yes.
17:03The two of them were even teasing each other.
17:06It was fun.
17:07Then,
17:08we went to the room
17:09and we met our half-brother.
17:12He was so handsome when he was young, right?
17:14Yes, Mom.
17:15He was so cute.
17:16He was so cute.
17:20How about you?
17:21Were you happy when you saw your father?
17:23Of course,
17:24I was so happy.
17:26I hope
17:27I can be with him again.
17:28I really want to be with him.
17:30Papa said that
17:31he will call us
17:32after his wedding here.
17:35We will be together again.
17:36We will go out, right?
17:38Mom,
17:39Papa is still handsome.
17:41Papa is still handsome.
17:45You two are a perfect match.
17:49Mom,
17:51I have a question.
17:53Do you still love Papa?
17:56Yes, Mom.
18:00Son,
18:03I want to tell you something.
18:05What is it, Mom?
18:12We already planned
18:13to get your father and Jerry married.
18:27Aileen!
18:29Mickey!
18:42Thank you.
18:43Enjoy your stay.
18:47Miss,
18:48can you check if
18:49Mr. Hiroaki Iwamoto checked in?
18:52May I know who's asking?
18:54His son.
18:55Please tell Aileen.
18:56Okay.
19:01I'm sorry, Ma'am,
19:02but they already checked out.
19:04What?
19:05That's impossible.
19:06What?
19:07Check again.
19:08Check again.
19:11Ma'am, I'm sorry,
19:12but they already checked out the other day.
19:14Didn't he talk to you?
19:16Didn't he tell you?
19:26Iwan was deeply hurt
19:27when he found out
19:28that his father left them again.
19:31The pain increased
19:33when the day of separation
19:35came.
19:49Come in.
19:50Let's eat.
19:58What do you think?
20:01It's beautiful.
20:02Really?
20:03Yes.
20:04It's nice here in Davao, right?
20:05Yes.
20:06The air is fresh
20:07and it's quiet.
20:08Yes.
20:09How long have we been here?
20:11Yes, Ma'am.
20:12When will we return to Manila?
20:15Um,
20:18kids,
20:19Jerry's father found a job here,
20:22so we thought
20:23it would be better
20:24if we live here.
20:26What?
20:27What about our friends?
20:29What about Papa?
20:30It will be harder for us to meet.
20:34Son,
20:35the people here are kind.
20:36I'm sure
20:37it won't be hard for you
20:38to find new friends.
20:40We'll be happy here, Aileen.
20:42Ma,
20:43you're the only ones who'll be happy here,
20:44not us.
20:47Despite his feelings,
20:49Iwan couldn't do anything
20:51if he didn't follow
20:52his mother's wishes.
21:00Aileen,
21:01what is it?
21:02Stop it.
21:03What is it?
21:04We're drunk.
21:05I'm not drunk.
21:06I'm still drinking.
21:07Okay.
21:12Be quiet.
21:14Here.
21:15Here.
21:16It's okay.
21:17It's okay.
21:18Let's stop this.
21:19Later,
21:20we'll tell your father
21:21and we'll blame him.
21:22Is it okay
21:23if we stop this?
21:24Huh?
21:25Stop it.
21:26I don't have a father.
21:27Stop me.
21:28I'm still drinking.
21:29You're drunk.
21:30Ma, I'm not drunk.
21:31How could you
21:32say that you don't have a father?
21:34You don't want me to drink.
21:35That's why I'm asking you
21:36to stop drinking.
21:37You keep saying
21:38that you don't have a father.
21:39Ma, I don't have a father.
21:40Let's go.
21:41Let's go, Ma.
21:42Let's go.
21:49What are you doing
21:50with your life?
21:52What's your problem?
21:55What's my problem?
21:57Your teacher called.
21:59You're always fighting
22:00in school.
22:01You're not doing
22:02your assignments.
22:03You're not participating.
22:05Your grades are dropping.
22:11What's your problem?
22:13I'm still drunk.
22:15Why are you acting like that?
22:18Because I don't want this life.
22:20Because I don't want the man
22:21you replaced with a father.
22:23And I don't want this place.
22:25And as time goes by,
22:26even you don't want to be a mother.
22:32You don't have the right
22:33to say that to me.
22:37All my life,
22:39I've never thought
22:40about anything other than
22:41your right to be siblings.
22:47He was left alone
22:48with his friends and drinking.
22:51Until he was consumed
22:53by great sadness
22:55and heartache.
22:56Until he was consumed
22:57by great sadness

25:31They agreed
25:33that they will see each other again
25:35once the new year ends.
25:38Happy New Year.
25:40Happy New Year.
25:42Sister,
25:44you said you would celebrate
25:45father's New Year with us, right?
25:48Why did he disappeared
25:49at midnight?
25:52Huh?
25:53Kim, if Papa doesn't come today,
25:57I want you to promise me one thing, okay?
26:00What is it, Ate?
26:03Even if we don't have a father, we're here for each other, is that okay?
26:11Don't worry, one day, I'll be the one to take care of you two.
26:17I love you, baby.
26:24What? You're going to college in Manila? Where is that?
26:29In Las Pinas. We also have a house there, right?
26:33The thing is, you're alone there. No one will take care of you.
26:36What if you do something crazy there?
26:39You don't have to take care of me.
26:42Besides, I'll do this to fix the house.
26:45I'll take care of it.
26:47You're alone there.
26:48Ma, you don't have to take care of me.
26:51Besides, I'll do this to fix my life.
26:56You're my only child. I won't be able to send you a big allowance.
27:01You know that we don't have enough money, unlike before.
27:06And your brother is still studying.
27:09Ma, I understand our situation now.
27:12Don't worry, I can think about it.
27:14I love you, baby.
27:17Iwan didn't give up.
27:19He went to Manila, and there, he lived alone,
27:23even though he was worried about his family.
27:26He put in his mind that he needs to be strong.
27:30And in his heart, he has hope that he'll be able to be with his family again.
27:37Until the time comes,
27:39a chance will change his life.
27:45I love you.
27:57Aileen! Aileen! Aileen!
28:00Why?
28:01Your beautiful friend is here.
28:03Your beautiful neighbor.
28:04But now, I have an appointment with you.
28:06Appointment?
28:07What kind of appointment is that?
28:08I'm doing an assignment.
28:09I don't have time for that.
28:11Ma, maybe this will change your life.
28:14Huh? What's that?
28:16It's a chance of a lifetime.
28:19What's that?
28:20Be part of the nationwide invasion,
28:22Starstruck, by JMA 7.
28:25What?
28:27Join Starstruck.
28:29You know, your beauty will be wasted.
28:30I'll even accompany you,
28:31instead of rotting here in Las Pinas.
28:34You're crazy.
28:35I don't want to.
28:36And JMA is so far away.
28:37I haven't been able to catch a QC.
28:39What do you mean, a QC?
28:40Even at SM,
28:41auditions are being held at Starstruck.
28:44Let's go, please.
28:46You know, if you want, it's up to you.
28:47You're the one who wants it, right?
28:48Go and audition there.
28:49Oh my, it's up to you.
28:52Go ahead.
28:53One day,
28:55you'll wake up,
28:56you'll smell it,
28:57and then, you'll rot.
29:00Let's go.
29:01Let's go, please.
29:02I don't want to.
29:03Let's go to SM.
29:04I don't want to.
29:05What's wrong with you?
29:06You don't have a driver's license?
29:07It's just a jeepney.
29:11Yay!
29:12It's a bus!
29:13Let's go.
29:14I don't want to.
29:15Stop it.
29:16I don't want to.
29:17Let me go.
29:18I don't want to.
29:19Hurry up.
29:20I don't want to.
29:21Iwa was also forced to go to SM.
29:25Not long after,
29:26she also auditioned
29:27at Starstruck,
29:28the nationwide invision.
29:31Iwa was offered to go to Starstruck,
29:34but this news was immediately covered
29:37by an unexpected event.
29:41Oh, my!
29:42I'm so lucky
29:43to be in the Top 14.
29:45That's great.
29:46You're like a stage mother.
29:48What's with you?
29:50A lot of people are dying
29:51to become an actress,
29:52but you're not.
29:54What's going to happen to me here?
29:56After this,
29:58I have a lot of dreams for my family.
30:00First of all,
30:01I want them to come back to Manila.
30:03I want them to live a good life
30:05and for my siblings to go to school.
30:07And I can only do that
30:09if I finish my studies
30:12instead of watching TV.
30:15A lot of people are rich
30:16because they watch TV.
30:17I just want to quit.
30:19I've been a showbiz star for a long time.
30:21But what can I do?
30:22I have a thick skin.
30:24You know,
30:25luck in life
30:27comes in different forms.
30:29Some come from your profession,
30:31some from your business,
30:32and some from showing off.
30:34What if you forget to show off?
30:37You're driving me crazy.
30:39Look, I have a point.
30:40And Aileen,
30:41I don't think
30:42showing off is the only thing you can do.
30:46That's not true.
30:48You have a lot of dramas in life.
30:50You have a lot of bad feelings.
30:52You can bring those bad feelings
30:54in front of the camera.
30:56And you have a bad temper.
30:59That's why people
31:00have different impressions of you.
31:02But you're real.
31:03That's what's good about you.
31:05That's why there are only a few real people in showbiz.
31:07That's why people will love you
31:09because you're real.
31:11You're so sweet.
31:12If you weren't gay,
31:13I would've pushed you away.
31:16Yuck!
31:17I'm not Tom Brocks.
31:21It's Mom.
31:24Hello, Mom.
31:25Aileen.
31:26Mom, how are you?
31:28I'm Micky.
31:29I'm Zenith. How are you?
31:31That's why I called you,
31:33to tell you that I can't
31:35send you an allowance yet.
31:38Why?
31:39Our house in Davao was burned down.
31:43Because of the bitter experience
31:45of her family in Davao,
31:48Iwa decided
31:49to use the success
31:51that Starstruck
31:52can bring to her
31:54and her family.
31:56She continued
31:57what she started
31:59and endured all the hardships.
32:02She was able to
32:03take care of her family
32:05in Davao.
32:07She was able to take care of her family
32:09in Davao.
32:11She was able to take care
32:12of her family in Davao.
32:15Miss, excuse me.
32:16Aren't you Iwa Moto?
32:17From Starstruck?
32:18Yes, I am.
32:20Aren't you Ocelino?
32:21Yes, I am.
32:22What are you doing in MRT?
32:23There's traffic on the headset.
32:25Also, the taxi is expensive.
32:27My house is far away
32:28and I'm from Las Villas.
32:30Oh, I see.
32:31Good luck, okay?
32:32You'll win the lottery.
32:33Don't worry.
32:34We'll vote for you.
32:35Really?
32:36Thank you.
32:37Hey, please tell your friends
32:39that I'm their vote.
32:40It was a huge sacrifice for Iwa to survive the starstruck.
32:45She endured it until the end.
32:50Our ultimate female survivor is...
33:00Jackie Rice!
33:02Even though she wasn't the ultimate female survivor,
33:06Iwa was still happy with what she achieved.
33:09She was even happier when she saw her family again.
33:15Sister, where have you been?
33:17I missed you.
33:18Mom!
33:21I'm coming in.
33:22You're famous now, sister.
33:24Mom, I always call you my friend.
33:27You're crazy.
33:29Me too. When my friends ask me,
33:33I say, I'm your son.
33:36Is that okay?
33:40And thank you for your help.
33:43It's a huge help.
33:44And also to your siblings.
33:47Are you sure we're going to stay here in Las Piñas again?
33:51And your siblings' studies are expensive.
33:54Of course, mom.
33:56I want us to study together, right?
33:59And even if I don't win,
34:01the GMA won't abandon me.
34:03There are projects lined up for me, right?
34:07But the most important thing is,
34:08we'll be together again.
34:10Forever.
34:19Oh my, Iwa.
34:20I didn't expect that you would run for your life like that.
34:24How old were you when you attempted to cut your wrist?
34:29I was 3rd year that time.
34:31How does that happen?
34:33At that time, people didn't believe me.
34:36I feel like everyone wants to make fun of me.
34:39Did you do drugs?
34:40No, I didn't.
34:41What are your realizations now?
34:44It's not too late to change.
34:46Your father is not a Filipino, right?
34:49He's Japanese.
34:50When was the last time you saw him?
34:52A year ago.
34:53Do you understand each other?
34:55He knows how to speak in Tagalog.
34:57My mom can speak in Hong Kong.
34:59So if my dad and I don't understand each other,
35:02we'll talk.
35:06How did Starstruck help you?
35:07Because of the competition,
35:09that's where you'll learn,
35:10that's where you'll be trained,
35:12especially in our job,
35:15what's right and what's wrong.
35:17At the same time,
35:19we're also trained to be strong.
35:22It helped me a lot.
35:24Because my family is fine now.
35:27We were hurt before.
35:30At least now, we're fine.
35:34So you're the sole breadwinner?
35:38Somehow, yes.
35:39As in, you're the breadwinner?
35:41I'm the breadwinner.
35:43You're the one who pays for the house?
35:45I have my own house.
35:47But all the expenses,
35:49electricity, water,
35:51gas,
35:53food,
35:55wait a minute,
35:57how much does this kid earn?
35:59My goodness!
36:02Is that so?
36:03My mom is good at budgeting.
36:07You give your entire income to your mom?
36:09Ninety percent.
36:10You had an issue because you're a bad daughter, right?
36:13No.
36:14You had an issue because you're a bad daughter, right?
36:15In Starstruck?
36:16In Starstruck, you said you're a bad daughter.
36:18For me, all people have that kind of attitude.
36:21So what you're saying is true, you admitted it.
36:23Yes.
36:24You admitted that you're a bad daughter.
36:25Why are you a bad daughter?
36:27My problem before,
36:28I feel like all people
36:31look down on me.
36:33I feel that on going Starstruck.
36:35I'm also very tired.
36:37That's why I'm a bad daughter.
36:39What do you do when you're hit?
36:43When I'm hit,
36:45I just sleep so I won't get angry,
36:47so I won't say bad things.
36:49Or else,
36:51I sit in a corner,
36:53I just sit and play with my phone
36:55to lower my temper.
36:57Then when I'm okay,
36:59boom, we're done.
37:01What is your ambition now?
37:03I want to finish my studies.
37:05I want to finish my siblings.
37:07I want our lives to settle down.
37:09And now?
37:11Did you forgive your father?
37:13Before, I was mad at him.
37:15Now, I'm not.
37:17I understand what's happening.
37:19Like now, I'm busy with work.
37:21Sometimes, I just stay home with my family.
37:23I think that's all I can do for him.
37:26What lessons can you learn from your life?
37:30It is never too late to change.
37:32And there's always a future ahead of you.
37:34If you fix what you're doing,
37:36the future will be better.
37:38Thank you very much.
37:40And you encouraged us
37:42to use our lives
37:44for the betterment of our students.
37:46Thank you very, very much.
37:48Thank you.
37:50The flowers are beautiful.
37:52Thank you.
37:54Thank you to GMA 7
37:56for giving me a chance
37:58to use my story here.
38:00Thank you.
38:02Of course, thank you to Starstruck.
38:04And thank you to the
38:06University of Perpetual Health
38:08in Las Pinas.
38:10They helped me in Starstruck.
38:12At the same time, I was a scholar there.
38:14Thank you to the people
38:16who support me
38:18and my family.
38:20Because of what Iwa has gone through,
38:23he became a role model
38:25to be brave and strong
38:27in the midst of any challenge.
38:29At present,
38:31aside from being a pioneer
38:33in his career,
38:35Iwa is also taking a course
38:37in Hotel and Restaurant Management
38:39at the University of Perpetual Health
38:41in Las Pinas.
38:43He and his family
38:45are now studying together.
38:47I'm Mel Tianko,
38:49and this is the story
38:51of each one of us.
38:53Now, tomorrow, and forever.
39:21I will sing our song
39:27I hope it will be heard
39:31We are not ready
39:37Forever
