00:00Mabukay lang ba, mabukay lang ba
00:10Mabukay lang ba isisigaw, hindi na hindi na
00:20Noong iniwan tayo ng papa mo, saktan ako para sa'yo
00:24Pero yung ngayon, sa papa Romy mo, so sakit
00:28Ito nga pala si Tito Fernan mo, siya yung sinasabi ko sa'yo na kaklase ko dati
00:37Karamihan sa atin ay may kinagis ng ama at ina sa ating tahanan, hindi po ba?
00:43Maaring may isa tayong magulang na ng ibang bansa para maghanap buhay
00:48o di kaya masakit pero't maagang pumanaw ang isa sa kanila
00:53o marahil nagkahiwalay sila at naiiwan tayo sa ating ina
00:57Itong naging sitwasyon ng anak sa ating totoong kwento ngayong gabi
01:03Pero kakaiba ito dahil hindi lang isa, hindi lang dalawa
01:08kundi tatlo ang nakagis na niyang mga lalaki sa buhay ng kanyang ina
01:15Ako, paano kaya nangyari yun?
01:18At sino kaya sa tatlong lalaking iyan ang mananatiling ama niya?
01:23E sino naman kaya ang pipiliin ang kanyang ina sa huli?
01:28Yan ang pakatutungan natin sa aming nakatutuang episode na pinamagatang
01:33Tatlo ang Tatay Ko, The Christine Lara Mercado Story
01:42Ay, nakulit si Ria!
01:43Anak, ikaw nga, tulungan muna ako
01:50Mainit, mainit
01:53Ano siya?
01:55Oh my God!
02:04Hello? Hello! O, asan ka na?
02:08Okay na ba si Lara? Nakusa mo na bang darating ako?
02:13Oo naman, sinabi ko sa kanya kagabi pa, naantay ka nga niya eh
02:17Andito na ako sa labas
02:18O, nandyan ka na?
02:20Halika na, paso ka na dito
02:22O, sige, sige, okay
02:26Nandyan na yung papa mo, anya
02:51Papa?
03:02Um, yap, papa mo
03:18Papa?
03:21Papa?
03:51Papa?
03:52Papa?
03:53Papa?
03:54Papa?
03:56Papa?
04:11Papa?
04:13Papa?
04:19Lara, totoo ba na mula pagkabata mo, hindi mo nakitang
04:23o nakasama ang totoo mong ama?
04:25Oo po, nung kinalakihan ko na po,
04:28madalas lang po kung sinasabihin po nang mga kapit-bahe po namin
04:31na hindi yan yung tatay mo
04:33Akala mo yung tao na kasama mo sa bahay, tatay mo?
04:37Oo po, kasi siya na po yung kinalakihan kong nakasama talaga eh
04:40Oo nga
04:41What was your mother's explanation?
04:43When I confirmed it to my mother, I asked her,
04:46isn't he really my father?
04:48She said,
04:49yes, let him be your first father.
04:51Don't think about it anymore.
04:53Yes, you accepted it right away.
04:55I couldn't accept it at first.
04:58Why me?
04:59I don't have a father of my own.
05:03So when will your father see you, Clara?
05:07Maybe it will take a long time.
05:09He might be interested to see you.
05:13Ma,
05:14Papa took my cell phone number.
05:18What?
05:19He just took it?
05:20I'm asking if he will call you.
05:24Your mother
05:26still has a crush on Papa.
05:28I think she's pregnant.
05:30What crush?
05:32Thank God,
05:33I agreed to let her see her son.
05:37It's okay, Ma.
05:39The important thing is,
05:41I met my real father.
05:44I have a picture, but I don't have one.
05:47What if he suddenly left us?
05:50Why should I hide his picture?
05:54Your father has a weak heart.
05:57I'm just praying that
05:59you won't get pregnant.
06:06Excuse me, Papa Romy.
06:09I'll just review this.
06:27You're so deep.
06:30He's still your father.
06:33He's still in your heart.
06:38I can't stop him.
06:42It's annoying to think about it.
06:44I feel like he just gave birth to me,
06:46and then left me.
06:55It's over.
06:56We're in a different chapter now.
06:59Your connection with him is just Clara.
07:02Besides,
07:04you're mine now.
07:06You're my parents now.
07:08But don't take away his rights.
07:10His father is his son.
07:15I'm right, right?
07:19Since she was a child,
07:20Lara's father didn't give her anything.
07:22That's why when Romy came into their lives,
07:26she didn't feel the lack of a father figure.
07:31Until...
07:36Mom, I'm home!
07:39And I brought a gift for you.
07:41Of course, it's from Grandma and Grandpa,
07:43even from Papa.
07:44Here, there's sapin-sapin,
07:46there's suban.
07:47It's so delicious, Mom.
07:49Try it.
07:50I'm excited.
07:51I'm a bit nervous, but it's okay.
07:53You know, Mom,
07:54Grandpa and Grandma are so kind.
07:56I was surprised.
07:58At first, I was a bit scared,
08:01but in fairness...
08:03Hello?
08:04Where are you?
08:06Why didn't you call me?
08:07What's wrong?
08:08I've been texting you for a while.
08:12No.
08:14I told you, you didn't go there.
08:16What's wrong?
08:17Don't lie.
08:18You're weird.
08:20What's the truth?
08:22Maybe it's true that you have a girlfriend.
08:26Where are you?
08:28Where are you?
08:38I won't doubt it.
08:39There's no doubt.
08:41You're hiding from your mom.
08:46He's still consisting of your girlfriend.
08:48Can you stop involving Mom in this?
08:51Your crazy thinking is making up stories.
08:54She's my cousin's friend.
08:56I'm just helping her.
08:57You're just like your cousin.
08:58How many more children will you use
09:00in your dream, in your renaissance,
09:02in Bayoking?
09:03I don't have a reason.
09:04What do you mean?
09:05I don't have a reason.
09:06You've been caught.
09:08You're a liar.
09:09You know what?
09:10It's up to you.
09:11Okay, fine.
09:12You're always jealous.
09:13It's up to you.
09:14Okay, fine.
09:15Liar!
09:27Oh, God.
09:31Oh, God.
09:32Oh, God.
09:33Oh, God.
09:42Mom,
09:44come here later.
09:46I have a burger.
09:51Did you see your dad again?
09:53Yes, but just for a moment.
09:55In the burger hut at the crossing.
09:59And two of these.
10:01One is for Papa Romy.
10:06He even thought of giving your Papa Romy a gift.
10:14Actually, he said
10:17he hoped to meet them.
10:19He said
10:22he wanted to thank Papa Romy
10:25because he allowed me to meet Papa.
10:30He said it's okay for them to be friends.
10:36Oh, my.
10:38Mom, why are you laughing?
10:43What's that?
10:44He's consensual
10:45because Romy fulfilled all of his responsibilities.
10:48All of your expenses.
10:49Is that so?
10:50Isn't that funny?
10:52Two men who were a part of your mother's life
10:55will become friends?
10:59That's okay, right, Mom?
11:02Papa has a different family.
11:05Besides,
11:06Papa just wants us to get along.
11:10Even Papa Romy.
11:14You believe him.
11:18You know,
11:20don't choose a man like your Papa.
11:24He has no objection.
11:27And just like your Papa Romy,
11:29he's fragile
11:31and stingy.
11:35What do you mean?
11:39You know,
11:40men
11:43don't care about women.
11:45As long as they're hurt and left behind,
11:48they're worthless.
11:54Lara's mother was right.
11:57She didn't expect
11:59that her mother and second father
12:02would still be together.
12:05But...
12:16Here.
12:21Pa,
12:23where are you going?
12:26My child,
12:27don't leave your mother, okay?
12:30She's very kind.
12:31Pa, answer me first.
12:33Where are you going?
12:37Pa,
12:38answer me first.
12:40Where are you going?
12:42Papa,
12:43did you leave us
12:45just like my real father did?
12:48What about Mama and I?
12:51What about us?
13:03What about Mama and I?
13:06What?
13:10I'm sorry, child.
13:11I'll go away for now.
13:13But I'll call you when I get back.
13:14So it's true?
13:16It's true that you have a wife?
13:18My child, I don't understand.
13:19Now, you're with her.
13:21Where are you going now?
13:24Pa!
13:29Pa,
13:30Mama,
13:31please.
13:32Pa, don't.
13:33Don't leave, Pa.
13:35Please, Pa.
13:37Pa,
13:38please.
13:40Pa!
13:43Pa!
13:47Pa!
13:52Pa!
13:56Pa!
14:09My heart ached so much
14:13that he left us again.
14:16Yes.
14:17I was angry.
14:19I cried.
14:24Now, we're together again,
14:26my child.
14:29What if
14:32Papa Romy comes back?
14:39I don't want to think about it anymore.
14:43He's with someone else now.
14:50Do you miss him, Ma?
14:56If I say yes,
15:00it hurts.
15:05If I say no,
15:08I'm lying.
15:14My heart aches.
15:19You know,
15:22when your father left us,
15:26I was hurt for you.
15:28Those times,
15:30it wasn't for me.
15:34But now,
15:36it's for your Papa Romy.
15:41It hurts so much.
15:45It's like,
15:46it's like my world is falling apart.
16:03Sometimes, I just can't.
16:07Can you handle it, Ma?
16:09Because
16:11I'm still here.
16:18I promise you,
16:21I will never leave you.
16:24Just the two of us.
16:27That's enough.
16:36I'm sorry.
17:07So, how did you move on?
17:08You and your mother?
17:10My grandmother encouraged her
17:12to continue her studies.
17:15She told her not to be affected
17:16by what happened to us.
17:19In the hours of sadness of her mother,
17:22Lara was there by her side.
17:24Together, they healed the wound
17:27left by the second man
17:29in their mother's life.
17:37Lara was the one who served
17:39Beka's strength.
17:40And so was Beka
17:42to her child.
17:43Beka made an effort
17:45to get up
17:46and make their lives
17:47better again.
17:49Until...
17:56Woo!
17:57Ma, it's Papa.
18:02Ah,
18:03I brought your snacks.
18:06Oh.
18:08But,
18:09you can continue.
18:11We'll take care of you.
18:12Huh?
18:16You know what?
18:17Your snacks are perfect for coffee.
18:19Oh, my.
18:20I wish you brought pizza.
18:22No, but
18:23snacks are perfect for coffee.
18:25Just kidding.
18:28You know, actually,
18:29I'm happy
18:30when I feel like
18:32this is the mood
18:33when we see each other.
18:35Why?
18:36Because you're smiling.
18:37Right?
18:39Also,
18:42your eyes look different.
18:44Your eyes look different.
18:48Did you move on from Romy?
18:49Don't mention my ex.
18:51Don't be like that.
18:53Don't be like that.
18:54Why are your eyes like that?
18:55Because of you,
18:56I'm so used to it.
18:58Oh, my.
18:59Coffee time.
19:00Oh, my.
19:01When it comes to Romy,
19:03her eyes are closing.
19:04When it comes to me,
19:05her eyes are closing.
19:07Hello?
19:08Your eyes look different.
19:09Go ahead and eat.
19:10Okay.
19:12Mom,
19:13it's Papa Romy.
19:15How are you?
19:17Seriously?
19:18Yes.
19:20We're just talking.
19:22Go ahead and talk.
19:24I'm just asking how you're doing.
19:27I thought you're already in peace.
19:30Go ahead, Mom.
19:31Go ahead and talk.
19:33Hurry up.
19:37Hello, Romy?
19:39This is Tito.
19:42How are you?
19:44Oh,
19:46I'm just visiting my son.
19:49Don't worry.
19:51I'm not courting your mom.
19:55Okay, this is Becca.
19:57Go ahead.
19:58Go ahead.
20:02Hello?
20:28Yes, of course.
20:29I'm trying to change.
20:30And I have this trauma
20:33that he'll leave us again.
20:35Yes.
20:36It's like that's my mindset.
20:38He'll go crazy.
20:39He'll look for someone else.
20:46Mom?
20:49Son?
20:51Son?
20:55This is Tito Fernando.
20:57He's the classmate I told you about?
21:03Son?
21:05Son?
21:09This is Tito Fernando.
21:11He's the classmate I told you about?
21:15How are you, Lara?
21:18Your mom told me a lot about you.
21:21She's very proud of you.
21:23Oh.
21:25Uh, excuse me for a while.
21:52Lara?
21:58Lara?
22:14Yes, it's us.
22:19We've known each other for a long time.
22:23But,
22:25it just happened like that.
22:28He's pregnant.
22:30He doesn't have a child.
22:32He's kind.
22:34And I know you'll get along.
22:36I thought you didn't want it anymore, Mom.
22:40After what happened to Papa Romy,
22:43you said you'll let your heart rest.
22:47That you don't want to get hurt anymore.
22:52Huh?
22:58Yes, that's how I feel.
23:00But,
23:02I can't explain it to you, Son.
23:09I'm hurt.
23:11Of course.
23:13But,
23:14I like him.
23:16He likes me.
23:18Can't we try it first?
23:20I'll try.
23:22I won't give up.
23:25If it doesn't work,
23:26I'll just blame myself, right?
23:29At least, I tried.
23:33I don't want to grow up alone.
23:35I'm also scared.
23:41But, Mom,
23:43I promised you, right?
23:46I will never leave you.
23:48Just the two of us.
23:50That's enough.
23:52Right?
23:53Yes, I know that, Son.
23:59But,
24:00I don't want you to be the one to blame for what happened to me.
24:03I don't want you to answer my sadness.
24:09Because, Son,
24:11you have your own happiness.
24:18I just want you to support my happiness, Son.
24:34Do you love him, Mom?
24:40I can love him.
24:45But, Son,
24:46I want you to know
24:49that what you feel is important to me.
24:53In this relationship,
24:56you should know that I love you so much, Mom.
24:59You are the one I love so much.
25:02Even if there are ten men who will leave me,
25:05as long as you don't leave me.
25:08Do you understand, Son?
25:12I love you.
25:16I love you, too, Mom.
25:24Becca's heart completely fell for Fernan.
25:28That's why he became Lara's third father.
25:31She also considered him as her real son.
25:35Lara's third father is successful
25:37and she saw that her mother is happy with Fernan.
25:41Lara used to pray that her mother won't get hurt again.
25:46Until...
25:53It's almost your princess' birthday.
25:55Oh, that's right.
25:58I have a surprise for Lara.
26:01Oh, I think you're already in the car.
26:03I'm here.
26:04Don't.
26:05I can't wait for two years.
26:07Two years.
26:08It's okay. Mom is just joking.
26:10I'm just joking.
26:11Anything.
26:13Even a bike.
26:14Even a bike is okay.
26:15It's okay.
26:16But you have to prepare for your birthday.
26:18Yes.
26:19Of course, that's the answer, right?
26:21I want you to invite whoever you want to invite.
26:26First, because I only have a few friends and I don't want a big party.
26:34Just like this.
26:36I will be the one to invite the surprise guests.
26:39Oh, he's an artist.
26:40He's an artist.
26:41He's a celebrity.
26:42Maybe his surprise is...
26:45These guests are more than celebrities.
26:51Just say it.
26:52Who is it?
26:53It's a surprise.
26:54Just say it.
26:55Do you really want to know?
26:56Yes.
26:58These two are the two most important people in their lives.
27:05Who?
27:06Of course, it's Papa Chito and Papa Romy.
27:11Really?
27:13Yes.
27:14Look at that.
27:16Look at that.
27:18Isn't it exciting?
27:19Yay!
27:23Don't you know how uncomfortable that is for Lara?
27:27That kind of situation.
27:28Uncomfortable for Lara or for you?
27:34For me or for Lara, it's still the same.
27:37The point is, it shouldn't be like that.
27:40Think about it.
27:41If you're with her, her father is real and the man she met is a fake father.
27:47Why?
27:48You're the one she's meeting right now.
27:52That's what I want to lose from you.
27:54That's what I want to lose from you.
27:57What?
27:58The anger in your heart.
28:03Your anger at the men who were important in your life, the ones you loved.
28:11Why?
28:12Why should I lose my anger at those two?
28:14They hurt me.
28:17What's important to me is my daughter's happiness.
28:21That's it.
28:22That's it.
28:25Love, let's try this for Lara.
28:32You don't have to understand.
28:34You don't have to accept.
28:38Lara loves the two who became her father.
28:41And I don't want to compete with them.
28:44I love Lara so much that she's like my own daughter.
28:48That's why I'm doing this for her.
28:55Did the heavens really send you to me
28:58to find out if there's still a good man left in the world?
29:04I was sent to you to lessen your drama in life.
29:10What drama?
29:12You know, people who have a lot of anger in their hearts are the ones who die early.
29:19It's not true that good people die early.
29:24That's not true.
29:25Ask the Lord.
29:27You're so stubborn.
29:29I love you.
29:30I love you too.
29:38Did the time come when you met your three fathers?
29:45Yes, on my birthday.
29:47The situation at that time was so complicated for Becca.
29:53Because of that, the two men sometimes fell in love and were hurt by her.
30:00So that the painful memories that happened between them would come back.
30:07But because of the love of the man she's currently with, Fernand,
30:12she was able to unite the three fathers in her relationship.
30:19Oh yes?
30:20Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
30:29Happy birthday to you.
30:33Happy birthday to you.
30:37Happy birthday, happy birthday.
30:42Happy birthday to you.
30:54Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
31:06Happy birthday!
31:09Closer, closer. Okay.
31:12Smile. One, two, three.
31:17Let me say a few words for Lara.
31:23I want to thank all of you.
31:28And we are here for her.
31:32For our child.
31:33My child, my child.
31:38I pray to God to give you all that your heart desires.
31:43Happy birthday, my child. I love you.
31:47Love you.
31:52Lara, my child.
31:55You know, I miss you so much.
31:59We just met again.
32:00I want to go to you.
32:05I feel like crying, especially for your mom.
32:11I know I owe you two a lot.
32:14So I hope you can forgive me.
32:18And even if you're not from me anymore,
32:22I love you so much, my child.
32:25Happy birthday.
32:30To the three fathers who are here,
32:40I'm your real father.
32:44But I'm the one who's the most useless of all.
32:52Because I was called when you went out.
33:01I neglected you.
33:05I was not worthy of the love you gave me.
33:14But thank you.
33:19And thank you to the two fathers who loved you and raised you.
33:30Because of them, your life became complete.
33:40My child,
33:45I'm sorry for everything.
33:48I'm sorry for what I did.
33:53I'm sorry for all of you.
33:57My child, happy birthday.
34:01I love you.
34:03Are you okay?
34:06Love you all.
34:08Happy birthday.
34:09Happy birthday.
34:11Cheers.
34:13Happy birthday, my child.
34:17How do you feel as a child?
34:21You're not worthy.
34:22Who am I to top these three?
34:24Who will I put first?
34:26Who will I serve?
34:27Did you have that feeling?
34:30It's a bit confusing.
34:33But deep inside, I'm happy because my day is complete.
34:44Pa, wait.
34:49I just want to thank you.
34:51I know that we haven't been together for a long time.
35:01But the truth is, you are my real father.
35:11And that will not change.
35:13And that will not change.
35:16Besides, I've forgiven you for a long time.
35:25I love you so much, Papa.
35:42I love you.
36:04Ma, thank you.
36:08For what?
36:10Because I have three fathers now.
36:16But you are my only mother.
36:22And you didn't leave me.
36:28You didn't leave.
36:30And you didn't give up on me.
36:35That's why, Ma, I love you so much.
36:43Really?
36:47I will never change you, my child.
36:50You are the only one I love in this world.
36:54I will never leave you or change you.
36:57I love you so much, my child.
37:00I hope you know that.
37:04I love you so much.
37:07But I hope you will accept everything.
37:10That I'm beautiful.
37:12That I'm kind.
37:14But not the three men in your life.
37:19Of course, Ma.
37:21I will never do that to you.
37:25Well,
37:28on second thought,
37:31I think it's okay for me to love three men.
37:37Or four?
37:39Or five?
37:40Or six?
37:41You're crazy.
37:42Why?
37:43And your grandchild is two times, three times, four times.
37:46Why? Don't you want that?
37:47You're crazy.
37:48I'm the only crazy one.
37:50We say, the more the merrier.
37:52We say, the more the merrier.
37:55Really?
37:56Why don't you want that?
38:01To the young people who are experiencing what happened to me,
38:06it's not just about being a broken family.
38:12You still need to build your love for yourself to become whole.
38:19And we need to hold on to our family.
38:24No matter who's there.
38:26Just like Mama, she didn't leave me.
38:29She's the one we hold on to.
38:31I hold on to her with all my heart.
38:34And that's God.
38:37Because if it wasn't for God,
38:39I wouldn't have learned how to forgive.
38:44So there's an element of forgiveness.
38:46Yes, and acceptance of what happened.
38:49Acceptance.
38:51Forgiveness and acceptance.
38:54Those two are what you're building for the people watching us.
38:58Yes.
39:00Thank you very much.
39:01Thank you so much.
39:03We have a saying, and I quote,
39:06In time of test, family is best.
39:10It means,
39:12In times of sadness,
39:14or trials,
39:16you have no one to rely on,
39:19but your family.
39:23And when we say family,
39:25it doesn't just refer to the blood,
39:28or the name,
39:30that was given to you.
39:32Because the people who were there for you,
39:36in the past,
39:39were the ones who taught you,
39:41and showed you,
39:43the importance of love, loyalty, trust, and respect.
39:47They are what you can consider a true family.
39:52And you should love and cherish them.
39:55Now, tomorrow, and forever.
40:09Thank you very much.
