00:00Manika, if we consider a child in Pamplona, Negros Oriental,
00:07it's rare and the color of her eyes changes.
00:12Blue or Azul when she was a baby.
00:15Now it's gray when she grows up.
00:19Is that possible?
00:21In a remote barangay in Pamplona, Negros Oriental,
00:25there is a child who is always mistaken for a foreigner's child.
00:30Her parents are all Filipinos.
00:33Her eyes are fighting for light blue and gray.
00:39Because to see is to believe, our team moved to Negros.
00:45And here they met eye to eye,
00:47the 6-year-old girl named Jane Garnett.
00:51She looks like a foreigner's child.
00:52She's so pretty.
00:53She's so cute, like an American.
00:56Jane is the eldest daughter of her husband Geraldine and Joubert,
01:00who have brown eyes.
01:02And they are both not from Banyaga.
01:05It's said that she's not a foreigner's child.
01:08Her father is handsome.
01:10It hurts.
01:12We are not foreigners.
01:14Sometimes we fight.
01:16Among her husband's children,
01:17Jane's only eyes are different.
01:20Her eyes are normal.
01:22It's just the same as ours.
01:24And what's even more surprising here,
01:26when she gave birth to Jane,
01:28her eyes were not gray,
01:31but light blue.
01:33We thought that she might have changed at the hospital,
01:36but that's not the case.
01:37Because when the child was born,
01:39she was given to me.
01:40But when Jane turned 3 years old,
01:43her eyes became more bright.
01:45From light blue, her eyes became gray.
01:48We haven't had her checked by a doctor yet
01:50because it's really out of budget.
01:52So we prioritized the one for consumption at home.
01:56They are really worried.
01:58I'm afraid that the change in her eyes might have side effects.
02:01The point might be that she might get blind.
02:04Maybe the next time, the color will change.
02:07Maybe it won't be normal anymore.
02:08What they are thankful for,
02:10is that the child doesn't complain about her eyes.
02:14My eyes are normal.
02:16It hurts.
02:17And there's one more thing that makes Jane's eyes look ugly.
02:22Her phone's brightness is not bright.
02:24Her phone's brightness is full.
02:26And her flashlights are not bright in the sun.
02:29The color of her eyes has changed.
02:32Someone took a picture of her.
02:33I'm just afraid.
02:34We are worried that if my daughter is treated,
02:38she might get sick.
02:39Jane grew up to be shy.
02:42When she looks at people, she's shy and cries.
02:45She doesn't want to mess with other people.
02:47She doesn't want to play with other kids.
02:50But in the end,
02:51when she accepts that her eyes are that color,
02:55she's not shy anymore.
02:56Jane is now in Grade 1.
02:58Because of her eyes,
02:59her teachers always scold her
03:02for attending school pageants.
03:05My eyebrows,
03:06my cheeks,
03:07my nose,
03:08my cheeks,
03:10my nostrils,
03:11my teeth.
03:13The kids want to get close to her
03:15because she's different from everyone else.
03:17Do you have a lot of friends or just a few?
03:19A lot.
03:20When we go to the showdown,
03:22my husband and I look at her.
03:25Because her eyes are different.
03:27She's being photographed.
03:28There's someone who wants to hug her.
03:31Even if they accept that Jane is different,
03:33it's still confusing for them
03:35why their daughter's eyes are light gray.
03:39Their neighbors are all different.
03:42It's like she's not their daughter.
03:44It's like she's a foreigner's daughter.
03:46I don't know.
03:47I don't know if she's a foreigner's daughter.
03:49It's like she's defending her grandchild,
03:51her grandchild,
03:51our daughter.
03:52Even Joubert himself admitted that he had doubts back then.
03:56Is she a foreigner's daughter?
03:57Is she her aunt's daughter?
03:59It's like there's no trust.
04:00Why would I be related to a foreigner?
04:02I'm here at home.
04:04I won't leave.
04:05Your parents are here.
04:06They're always watching over me.
04:08She's really the mother.
04:09When we got married,
04:10we lived in together right away.
04:12There's no one else.
04:13We have the same shape of eyes.
04:16Here on the left.
04:16Then her nose,
04:18her mouth,
04:19and the color of her eyebrows,
04:21we have the same color.
04:23Next,
04:24to clarify
04:25Jai's current condition,
04:28we consulted him
04:30with a specialist.
04:32Based on my assessment,
04:33the child has...
04:35While Joubert
04:37admitted to our team
04:41that it's impossible.
04:41It's possible that he has the key
04:44to the truth
04:45as to why his mother
04:47turned blue
04:48and changed to light gray
04:50the color of her eyes.
04:52My dad told me that...
04:54Don't close your eyes yet.
04:57Because the answers
04:59will be seen
05:00in our return.
05:06A 6-year-old kid,
05:08apple of the eye
05:10of a barangay
05:11in Negros Oriental.
05:13Even though
05:14his parents are all Filipinos,
05:16Joubert and Geraldine
05:18were the ones who made Jai's eyes
05:20turn blue
05:22and eventually
05:23light gray.
05:24She's so cute.
05:25She's like an American.
05:27It's like she's not their daughter.
05:28It's like she's a foreigner's daughter.
05:30We're going to fight.
05:31It's painful.
05:31I can say that she's telling the truth
05:33that her father is really an apple.
05:34I strongly feel that
05:35she's really my daughter.
05:36Because we have the same face.
05:41That's why this Friday,
05:43we consulted Jai
05:45with an ophthalmologist
05:47or an ophthalmologist
05:48in Dumaguete City.
05:49Based on my assessment,
05:51the child has
05:53Wardenburg syndrome.
05:55The kid's iris turns blue
05:58because of the lack of melanin pigment
06:01which is supposed to give our eyes
06:03its brownish color.
06:04As the kid gets older,
06:06the amount of melanin pigment
06:08also decreases.
06:09That's why, from blueish,
06:10the color of her eyes
06:12turned grayish.
06:13These melanin pigments
06:15are still in charge
06:16so that we don't get too bright.
06:18It's not safe to soak it in sunlight
06:21because its protection is lesser
06:22because of the lack of pigments in the eyes.
06:25Avoid direct exposure to sunlight
06:28and yearly monitoring
06:30of the baby's eyes.
06:32Meanwhile,
06:33Joubert
06:34also admitted something.
06:37My father said that
06:40his father also has the same eye color.
06:43We don't have a left or right eye.
06:47We only have one eye
06:48which is my right eye
06:49and my father's left eye.
06:51We don't have a picture of our grandparents
06:55because they passed away a long time ago.
06:57It's possible that this happened
06:59to their grandparents.
07:01There's nothing to worry about.
07:04Most of them will grow up normal
07:06and live a normal life.
07:07I'm thankful that
07:09we don't have to worry about
07:11our future
07:13because it's very natural.
07:15When I found out that
07:16I have a grandchild,
07:18I was so happy.
07:19He's really my son.
07:20Even if the color of Jane's eyes is different,
07:23for her parents,
07:25nothing will change
07:26in their eyes.
07:28They still love
07:29their
07:30cute
07:32child.
