00:00The life of an OFW is always in danger.
00:04One foot in the grave.
00:06That is to say, a little mistake can lose a job.
00:09A little fuss can cause illness.
00:12A little movement can put you in danger.
00:15Just like our true story this afternoon.
00:18An OFW who lost his life in another country.
00:31I'll go inside.
00:32Okay.
00:34Come here, son.
00:40Get in.
00:47Hey, Greg!
00:49Where are you going?
00:51Just there.
00:52What do you mean, just there? You're still wearing pants.
00:56Can I talk to R.B. first?
00:58I still have to wash the dishes.
01:01No, I can't. I can't take care of that.
01:03I'll try the construction nearby.
01:06Construction? Maybe tomorrow.
01:08Come on, help me first.
01:11You've planned the whole day, right?
01:14Just give me 100 pesos for food.
01:17Wait, his face is so thick.
01:20Hey, if I get accepted there, you'll benefit too.
01:25Okay.
01:30Oh, no.
01:31You know what, son?
01:32I don't think your father will change.
01:35We know where he'll go. He'll just drink.
01:37Sister, I'm just going to R.B.
01:39Okay, get in.
01:40Come on, R.B., get in here.
01:55When a child goes to sleep, he'll snore.
02:01That's okay.
02:04There in the corner, there's someone who's really clean.
02:11His smile is so beautiful and clean.
02:18Hey!
02:19Don't be noisy.
02:21The child will wake up.
02:26Did you get accepted in the construction you're talking about?
02:29You just drank, and now you're drinking again.
02:32I'm asking you a question.
02:34I'm asking you where you're going.
02:38I'm not going anywhere but to work.
02:42Don't make me act like you.
02:43You're leading your friends.
02:45Can I, Greg?
02:47You're a farmer, you're a family man.
02:51If you don't want me, leave me.
02:56Hey!
02:58You're a farmer.
03:00You don't belong here.
03:02If I die here,
03:05no one will die here.
03:07Huh? Huh?
03:13Don't do that.
03:20Don't do that.
03:50Son, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's village.
03:54But here, have some bread first.
03:56You might get hungry on the way.
04:00Be careful.
04:03Eat up.
04:09Aunt, can you take care of my son?
04:13Hold the candle for me.
04:15Just a moment.
04:17Construction?
04:19What are you doing?
04:20Childish.
04:21Mom, stop it.
04:22Go home.
04:23Who are you?
04:24I'm your neighbor's wife.
04:26And we live in a small area.
04:28Don't you know?
04:29I'm not a cheapskate.
04:31Because you're stingy.
04:32What?
04:33Mom, stop it.
04:34You're an animal.
04:35I'm getting ready to work for us,
04:38and you're cheating on me.
04:40Let's go home.
04:42You can't take care of your son,
04:44but you're taking care of your baby.
04:46Go home.
04:47You're not going home.
04:48Go home to your neighbor.
04:50You like him, right?
04:51It's up to you.
04:52Go to hell.
04:59Do you want me to take that?
05:01Huh?
05:05No, it's okay.
05:06Next time.
05:09Let it go, son.
05:10Son,
05:11when mom is free,
05:12I'll buy you a toy.
05:14Whatever you want,
05:15I promise you.
05:16Okay?
05:22Do you want to rest?
05:23Yes.
05:24It's too hot.
05:25It's like RV.
05:26It's pitiful.
05:27By the way,
05:28can't Greg fix you up?
05:31Don't expect me.
05:32I already fired him.
05:34I was stupid when I asked him for money,
05:36but my head is already broken
05:38and I got caught.
05:41Wait a minute.
05:42Maybe you have another way to make money.
05:44I need to buy that kite.
05:50Okay, just put it there.
05:53By the way, Lani,
05:54do you remember our old neighbor, Marisa?
05:57She's rich in DH.
05:59Why don't you try it?
06:02DH?
06:04I don't have money to pay the agency.
06:06Come on.
06:07It's her salary deduction.
06:09What do you mean by salary deduction?
06:12You don't have to pay anything.
06:14You'll pay for what you spent
06:16every time you get a salary.
06:22What about my son?
06:25You know I don't expect anything from your neighbor.
06:27Who will leave me?
06:29Just try it, Lani.
06:30Who knows,
06:32maybe your luck is there.
06:34You're so stubborn.
06:41Are you going on a trip?
06:42Just Phase 2?
06:44Okay.
06:50Thank you.
06:51Thank you.
06:53Let's go, son.
06:55Let's go, son.
06:56Let me carry you.
07:04Thank you.
07:10I'll take care of your stuff.
07:12Okay.
07:19Ma'am,
07:21are you new here in Los BaƱos?
07:23I just saw you today.
07:26I've been here for a few days.
07:29Here's your change.
07:30Thank you.
07:31Thank you.
07:32My name is Lani.
07:35Sheila.
07:38Is she your daughter?
07:39Yes.
07:41You're so cute.
07:42How old are you?
07:43Four years old.
07:45Five.
07:46I'm R.V.
07:48By the way,
07:49Sheila,
07:51are you doing laundry?
07:53If possible,
07:54can I do it?
07:56I can do laundry and iron.
07:59Okay, sure.
08:01You can come here every Saturday
08:03if you're free.
08:05Saturday and Sunday?
08:06Okay.
08:07Thank you again.
08:08Bye-bye, R.V.
08:09Let's go, son.
08:10You can eat now?
08:11Yes.
08:12Let's go, son.
08:18Sheila,
08:19thank you so much
08:21for the lunch earlier.
08:23It was so delicious.
08:26It's my pleasure.
08:28You know,
08:29I want to start a business.
08:33It's easy.
08:34B.
08:35A small letter B.
08:36A small letter B.
08:38C.
08:39You know,
08:40your son is so bright.
08:42He's smart.
08:43He's good at teaching.
08:45C.
08:46C.
08:47C.
08:48C.
08:49C.
08:50C.
08:51C.
08:52C.
08:53C.
08:54C.
08:55C.
08:56C.
08:57C.
08:59Why don't you continue?
09:02You're hardworking
09:03and you're good at housework.
09:06Why don't you leave your son with your wife?
09:10That's the problem, Ate.
09:13I'm separated from my husband.
09:15Aside from being a woman,
09:17I'm also a drunkard.
09:19And
09:20I'm also an orphan.
09:22My parents are gone.
09:24That's why
09:25I can't leave R.V.
09:27even if it's abroad.
09:29It's hard to be a mother, right?
09:32You said it.
09:35How about you, Ate?
09:36Don't you have a family yet?
09:38That kid in the picture,
09:41is he your son?
09:45This is John.
09:48He's my favorite nephew.
09:58Why?
10:01Do you want to go home?
10:02Let's go home.
10:04You're embarrassing your aunt.
10:06You haven't told her yet.
10:20R.V.
10:22Happy birthday.
10:24You remembered, Ate Sheila.
10:26Yes.
10:27Open it.
10:28Open it quickly.
10:30Come here.
10:31Here.
10:34Pull it.
10:37What's that?
10:39A car.
10:40Wow!
10:42A car!
10:43Ate Sheila really likes that.
10:45It looks like a spoon.
10:47Really?
10:49Oh, my.
10:50You know what?
10:51Your Aunt Sheila really loves you.
10:54What do you think?
10:56Thank you.
10:57Very good.
10:59Say it to me again.
11:01Thank you.
11:02You're welcome.
11:03What if you're mine?
11:07Will you leave this to me
11:08if you continue to be a Saudi?
11:10R.V.,
11:11do you want me to leave you to Aunt Sheila?
11:17That's why
11:20I can't be away from my son.
11:22He's my life.
11:25Lani, Lani.
11:27Someone's here.
11:28It's me, Ate.
11:31Tope, come in.
11:32Wait.
11:33Tope?
11:34Hi, Lani.
11:35I've been looking for you.
11:36By the way,
11:37I'm with Ms. Opriana of the agency.
11:39She wants to talk to you.
11:40Lani,
11:41your paperwork is done.
11:42Your employer wants you to go there in two weeks.
11:47Wait.
11:48That's too fast.
11:49I don't know yet
11:50where I'm going to leave my son.
11:55I don't want to go there anymore.
11:56You're so bad at talking, Lani.
11:58We've already discussed it.
12:00Go ahead.
12:02Don't waste this opportunity.
12:04One more thing,
12:05it's almost sunset.
12:06You need to save money.
12:08You can leave this to me, R.V.,
12:10if you continue to be a Saudi.
12:11You know,
12:12he's like a son to me.
12:18That's it?
12:19Yes.
12:20Do you like it?
12:25Ms. Rubi,
12:26I'm sorry
12:27that you're the one
12:28who asked me to come here.
12:29And I'm getting nervous
12:31because
12:32I'm leaving later.
12:33Did you really leave R.V.
12:34because of Sheila?
12:36Do you know her?
12:39Ms. Rubi,
12:40Ms. Sheila is kind.
12:41And she's like a daughter to R.V.
12:45There are rumors
12:46that there are syndicates
12:47that are taking kids.
12:50That's why I'm reminding you, Lani.
12:52Okay.
12:53I'll go ahead.
12:54I won't stop you.
12:55Here's the payment.
12:56Take it.
12:57Thank you.
12:58Take care.
13:05Lani.
13:06Ms. Sheila!
13:07Yes?
13:08I'll just bring you a suitcase.
13:10I don't know what you're using.
13:11Why don't you bring it?
13:13This is beautiful.
13:15Ms. Sheila, thank you.
13:17This is a big thing
13:18that you're doing for us, R.V.
13:20It's nothing.
13:21I'm happy
13:22that I'm able to help you two.
13:24And
13:25R.V. is like a daughter to me.
13:30You're so full of yourself.
13:33Can I continue?
13:37Because
13:39I can't stay away
13:40from your son.
13:42You're so handsome.
13:44Come here.
13:51R.V.
13:52I'm the father.
13:53I have a right over him.
13:56Why?
13:57When did you become a father?
13:59Maybe you're thinking
14:01that you'll get R.V.
14:02so that you can benefit from what I'm going to send.
14:05You're wrong.
14:07I told you!
14:08What?
14:09What did you say, Greg?
14:10I told you
14:11that you'll get R.V.
14:12so that you can benefit from what I'm going to send.
14:14You're wrong.
14:15I told you!
14:17What?
14:18What did you say, Greg?
14:19What did you say, Greg?
14:22Can you do that?
14:23If you keep bothering
14:25Lani and my son,
14:27I'll call the police.
14:29Sheila,
14:30can I arrange my things there?
14:32Come on.
14:33Let's go, R.V.
14:35Lani!
14:49I'm hungry.
14:50Maybe I can eat.
14:52Even if it's Ramadan,
14:53because I'm not a Muslim.
15:19Lani! Lani!
15:20I have a new book!
15:23Why are you eating?
15:50Go to your room.
15:54Mom, sir,
15:55I'm sorry.
15:58I'm really sorry.
15:59I got very hungry after cleaning.
16:03I'm really sorry.
16:05It's Ramadan,
16:07and we do not eat at this time of the day.
16:11I understand, Mom.
16:12I'm so sorry.
16:14I know that you are not Muslim,
16:16I know that you are not Muslim,
16:18so we do not expect you to practice the way we do.
16:22But if you are truly hungry,
16:24and it is not yet time to eat,
16:26please,
16:27bring the food to your room.
16:33You're not angry, sir?
16:36We understand.
16:38So go.
16:39Eat in your room.
16:43Thank you, sir and ma'am.
16:44Thank you.
16:46Thank you.
17:06This is it.
17:07Zero one.
17:13Hello, Ate Sheila!
17:16Lani, where is R.V.?
17:19He's running around.
17:22Can I talk to him?
17:27Hi, son!
17:28Ate Sheila, you bought a new shirt.
17:31You might get used to it.
17:33Your video is so clear.
17:38The internet in Laguna is so strong.
17:40Where are you?
17:41We're just in front of the house.
17:44In front of the house?
17:45You're so different.
17:46How many weeks have you been gone?
17:49You forgot what our house looks like.
17:51Sorry.
17:52How are you, Ate?
17:54Is Greg bothering you?
17:57Sometimes.
17:58I see him.
17:59He's at the gate,
18:00but he doesn't come in,
18:02so I just let him in.
18:04It seems like he really wants to see the child.
18:08Don't be stubborn.
18:10He's a stubborn man.
18:13Don't worry.
18:14I won't abandon your child.
18:16I know that, Ate Sheila.
18:17That's why I trust you.
18:19By the way,
18:20next week,
18:21I'll send money for R.V.'s tuition.
18:25You don't have to.
18:26Don't send money here.
18:28Just save what you earn
18:30for R.V.'s tuition.
18:32I don't want to spend money.
18:33It's just a small amount.
18:34It's cheap.
18:37Okay, Ate Sheila.
18:40I'll call you again.
18:41I think Ma'am needs me.
18:42Okay.
18:43Okay, bye-bye.
18:44Bye, son.
18:48Yes, Ma'am.
18:49I'm coming.
18:51R.V., R.V., R.V.
18:53Do you want to move here?
18:54Look.
18:55Do you want to move here to Misanta Mesa?
18:57Look at me, son.
18:58Look at me.
18:59You'll have more fun here.
19:01You'll run around a lot.
19:03Say, Mommy.
19:04Say, Mommy.
19:13Nur.
19:14Come.
19:15You eat.
19:17It's your favorite.
19:18Come on.
19:23Nur?
19:26Nur, you're...
19:27You're hot.
19:28What's that?
19:30Um...
19:32Somebody...
19:34Telephone. Telephone.
19:35Here.
19:36Call someone.
19:44I don't understand.
19:45What is this?
19:46Or...
19:54Hello? Hello?
19:55Yes.
19:56Yes.
19:57Yes.
19:58Ambulance.
19:59Help.
20:00Help.
20:01Help here.
20:02Now.
20:03Yes.
20:04Ambulance.
20:05Come on.
20:06Please help.
20:07I will wait.
20:08Okay?
20:09Okay.
20:10Wait.
20:11Two months deposit.
20:13Okay.
20:14Um...
20:15I'll call you again, okay?
20:22You don't have to call the police.
20:24I won't bother you.
20:30You know, your son is smart.
20:33He learns fast.
20:34It's a good thing that Mommy took care of him.
20:37Lani is smart.
20:39She didn't go to school because she went home early.
20:46It's the end of the season.
20:49Maybe if I was born earlier,
20:52my family wouldn't be destroyed.
20:55My mother is still with me.
20:58Sheila,
20:59can I hug R.V. for a moment?
21:09Okay.
21:19R.V.
21:22R.V.
21:40R.V.
21:51Ma'am,
21:53they haven't been online for a week.
21:56What happened?
21:59Can I try Skype?
22:00Wait a minute.
22:07Ma'am, there's no one.
22:09Happy birthday!
22:12Thank you!
22:13You remembered!
22:14Thank you so much!
22:21After we checked out the hospital,
22:23Nur insisted that we buy you a present.
22:27You've been very good to us.
22:29Nur loves you so much.
22:31You're okay already?
22:33No more sick?
22:34No more fever?
22:35Yes!
22:36I miss you, Lani.
22:37I missed you too.
22:39The doctor said
22:40that if we didn't bring Nur to the hospital,
22:43things might have gotten worse.
22:45You're such a smart person.
22:46You figured out which number to call,
22:49even though everything was in Arabic.
22:51We owe you his life.
22:53And for that,
22:54we are truly thankful.
22:58I see the red cross,
23:01and I call,
23:02and it's correct.
23:07Excuse me, sir.
23:10Hello, Greg?
23:13What?
23:14RV is missing?
23:18What?
23:19RV is missing?
23:20I went back and forth to Shilo's house
23:22for a week,
23:23but no one was there.
23:25I think he moved.
23:28I don't know.
23:32Greg, find RV.
23:34Ask around.
23:36RV, ask around.
23:38No one knows where he is.
23:40He's your friend.
23:41Don't you have other contacts?
23:44I don't know.
23:45I've been calling him all day,
23:46but he's not answering.
23:51Okay, I'll try calling him again.
23:53But please, Greg,
23:55find my son.
24:07Answer the phone.
24:12What's happened?
24:14Ma'am, my son.
24:16My son is missing in the Philippines.
24:19What?
24:21Can I please go home?
24:22Please let me home.
24:23Please, I want to go home to the Philippines.
24:25Sure, sure.
24:26We'll get you a flight.
24:28How else can we help you?
24:34Here.
24:37Ma'am, this is too much.
24:40I cannot pay this back.
24:42You don't have to pay us back.
24:44That's our way to help you.
24:50Thank you so much, sir and ma'am.
24:57Thank you so much.
24:59Thank you.
25:05I should have listened to you.
25:07I shouldn't have trusted that girl.
25:10Don't worry.
25:13Don't blame yourself.
25:16It's for the best.
25:18I'll just help you find your son.
25:21Huh?
25:23I don't know.
25:26Did you hear anything?
25:28Nothing.
25:30I don't know where Sheila is.
25:33Even at the bus terminal,
25:35I don't know when she left.
25:39You left me, Arvi.
25:43Are you blaming me?
25:46Why?
25:48Did you become a responsible father and husband?
25:51All of this started because of you, right?
25:55When you weren't around,
25:56I always visited our son.
25:58I could have taken him if I wanted to.
26:01You're the one who left me.
26:04If you can rely on me,
26:05I would have left you.
26:07That's why I didn't do anything
26:09if you didn't drink and have a girlfriend.
26:11Stop it, ma'am.
26:12That's enough.
26:24I'm sorry.
26:40It hasn't been a day that I didn't think of Arvi.
26:47I went from barangay to barangay
26:49until I reached another province in search of him.
26:55There are rumors that they saw my son
26:57doing something wrong.
26:59But their information is always wrong.
27:06Arvi, my son!
27:11Go ahead and play.
27:25Greg is still looking for him,
27:27but we can't find Sheila.
27:32It's been months,
27:33but we still haven't seen our son.
27:55Have you eaten?
28:01Don't let yourself down.
28:05Go ahead and eat.
28:15Arvi should eat.
28:25Even though we're poor,
28:29I don't feed him.
28:31I don't let him sleep.
28:35He's still a baby.
28:42I miss our son, Greg.
28:45I want to hug him.
28:51Let's not lose hope.
28:55I know that one day,
28:57our son will be with us.
28:59So let's not give up.
29:07I have a lot of challenges that I'm trying to overcome.
29:14I want Arvi to be happy when we find him.
29:24I hope you'll forgive me.
29:38Let's help find our son, Greg.
29:48I really love to cook.
29:50That's why when I started this restaurant,
29:52it was like a dream come true for me.
29:54It became a business.
29:56Is that Sheila?
29:57I hope you'll come and try the food.
30:00It's really delicious, I promise.
30:02Is she from Manila?
30:08Here she is, Sara from Resto Grill.
30:12Sir, is the owner here?
30:14Why? Who are you?
30:15We're friends with Sheila Guzman.
30:18What time does she arrive?
30:20I don't know.
30:21She arrives at different times.
30:38Sheila, let my son go!
30:40I don't know you!
30:44I trusted you with my son.
30:46Let Arvi go!
30:47I don't know what you're talking about.
30:49Guard!
30:50Let them go!
30:51I don't know who you are!
30:52Let my son go!
30:53Guard!
30:54Let me go!
30:55Sheila!
30:56Hey!
30:57What do you want?
30:58Ma'am, let's go.
31:02Let's go, sir.
31:03Let's go.
31:04Okay, sir.
31:05You look like him.
31:17Guard!
31:18If those two come back, call the police.
31:21Yes, ma'am.
31:22Thank you.
31:35Thank you.
32:06Ah!
32:14Sheila, let my son go!
32:15Arvi!
32:16Let my son go!
32:17Let me go!
32:18Why are you acting crazy?
32:20Don't pretend that you don't know us.
32:22Where's Arvi?
32:23Let my son go!
32:24I don't know what you're talking about.
32:26Get out of here or I'll call the police.
32:28Okay, call the police so we'll know who's lying.
32:32I don't know what you're talking about.
32:33Arvi!
32:34Arvi!
32:41Arvi!
32:43Let my son go!
32:49Call the police!
32:58Arvi!
33:00Sheila!
33:04Why did you do that?
33:06I thought Arvie was already caught.
33:08Carlo, you won't understand me.
33:11Do you know?
33:12The first time I saw Arvie,
33:15I had a connection with that kid.
33:18It's like John was brought back to life.
33:21John is gone.
33:22Your son died a long time ago.
33:24That's why you want to catch the kid from his parents.
33:27No.
33:29You know what?
33:30You left him to me
33:32because he can't bring Arvie back to life.
33:35But me?
33:36I can.
33:37I can give him everything.
33:39That's why he's mine.
33:41Are you even thinking?
33:43Do you know what you're doing to me?
33:45And one more thing.
33:46Don't you feel sorry for the mother of the child?
33:49I don't.
33:50I don't.
33:51I don't.
33:52I don't.
33:53I don't.
33:54Don't you feel sorry for the mother of the child?
34:01Carlo.
34:02Carlo.
34:04Let's move out of the house.
34:06Or...
34:07Or...
34:08Let's go to another country.
34:10Please.
34:12Please.
34:14Carlo.
34:15I love you.
34:16You know that.
34:17I'm ready to marry you.
34:19As long as your marriage lasts.
34:21But what you're doing is wrong.
34:23You know it hurts to lose a child.
34:25So don't do this to others.
34:27Carlo.
34:53Are you sure you want to continue the demand?
34:55Of course.
34:56I saved it for Arvi.
34:58That's why I'll use it for Arvi.
35:00I'll do everything to get our child back.
35:16Wow.
35:17Your face is so thick.
35:23Arvi.
35:24Arvi, my child.
35:26My child.
35:32Mommy.
35:35My child.
35:37She's Lani.
35:40She's your real mother.
35:46Arvi.
35:48I'm your mother.
35:50She's your father.
35:52We lived here.
35:53Do you remember this?
35:56Lani.
36:00Don't demand anymore.
36:02I'll give Arvi back to you.
36:07But I want to talk to my child.
36:12I hope you'll allow me to visit the child sometimes.
36:26No, you can't.
36:30You fooled me before.
36:31I won't do it again.
36:32Greg, I'll give Arvi back to you.
36:34Lani, just once in a while.
36:35Look for me when you were a child.
36:37The child is poor.
36:38The child is poor?
36:39Okay.
36:40I won't continue the demand.
36:42But when I see you here
36:44and you get close to my child,
36:46I won't hesitate to put you in jail.
36:51Lani, please.
36:52Let me talk to him.
36:54Get out of here.
36:55I'll take care of my child.
36:56But I want to talk to my child.
36:58Please.
36:59Please, Carlo.
37:02Lani, just once in a while.
37:06Lani.
37:12No matter how hard and challenging
37:15the life of an OFW is,
37:18you must not give up.
37:20You must not give up.
37:21You must not give up.
37:23For the dreams and for the family,
37:26they will face everything
37:28with confidence and full of hope.
37:34Happy birthday to you.
37:38Happy birthday to you.
37:41Happy birthday, happy birthday.
37:45Happy birthday to you.
37:49Happy birthday, my child.
37:52Yay!
37:55Mama loves you so much.
37:57I love you, my child.
38:01We love you so much,
38:03Mama and Papa RBI.
