00:00How sweet is your catch-up?
00:04Hi, Dai. Belated happy birthday to you, Dai. I love you.
00:07In the screenshots of this convo from the cellphone of a girl,
00:11the sweet messages are viral.
00:14Even the I love you messages are received.
00:17I miss you, Dai. Take care of yourself, Dai. Love you, Dai.
00:21The one who sent this is not her husband or boyfriend, but...
00:30Yaya.
00:35I am Romana Manco. I work as a helper.
00:41We met in Panilan, Cebu City, the 51-year-old Romana Manco,
00:46or Yaya Maning, if the family calls her name.
00:51Her service to the family
00:54did not just reach one, two, or three, but four generations.
01:01So, Yaya Maning was there when I graduated elementary.
01:04She was also there when I graduated high school.
01:07She was there on my 18th debut.
01:09As in, all of my milestones, Yaya Maning was really there.
01:14Yaya Maning was still young. She was born early in poverty.
01:18She was only 12 years old when she started working as a farmer.
01:23When I got sick, I had to go to school.
01:26For a week or two, I would go to my mother's house.
01:30She would give me medicine and other things so that I could eat.
01:37She was 18 years old when she joined the Tan family.
01:41When I was young, I would go to my mother's house to get surgery.
01:45I was lucky to get a job.
01:50At the age of 19, Yaya Maning had a family.
01:53Three years after she gave birth to her eldest son,
01:57she joined the Tan family again.
02:00Yaya Maning was passed on from her grandmother to her daughter.
02:05And this is where she started taking care of her four children.
02:09When they went to school, I would go first.
02:15I would go to school first.
02:19After school, I would go home and prepare their food.
02:25All of her work and sacrifices were for her four children who were left in their province.
02:32I would take care of them.
02:34I would take care of my children.
02:37I would work so that they could go to school.
02:41I would take care of my children.
02:44I would give them surgery.
02:46I would take care of them.
02:48I would take care of them.
02:50I would take care of them.
02:52I would take care of my children.
02:54Even though it was painful for her to take care of her own children,
02:57she needed to make sacrifices for the sake of her family.
03:01But even though she was far from her family,
03:03she was able to find love from her children.
03:07Aside from cooking for us, Yaya Maning was always there in times of comfort.
03:11So when we were sad, when we were crying,
03:14she would always lend us a hand or listen to what we had to say.
03:18And yes, of course, we treated her like a second mom.
03:21We were like her four children.
03:25The love and care that Yaya Maning did not give to her four children,
03:31she gave to her four children.
03:34She probably took care of me for the longest time.
03:37Even until now, because I'm the only one who lives here in the house.
03:40And I don't have any other siblings.
03:42I'm ashamed to talk to other housemates.
03:46But with Yaya Maning, as in 100% myself, I'm really with her.
03:50It's inevitable that the real daughter of Yaya Maning would feel jealous
03:56because her mother is not by her side while she grows up.
04:00In addition, these people also understood the sacrifice of their mother.
04:05And Yaya Maning continued to work for the Tan family.
04:09She really went through a lot, but she still chose to work for our family.
04:13She can work anywhere, wherever she wants.
04:16Since Yaya Maning is very talented, she still chose to work for the Tan family.
04:22And because she loves her family so much,
04:25Yaya Maning has been with them for 28 years.
04:30So my memorable moments with Yaya Maning was when I told her I was engaged.
04:35Actually, I surprised her.
04:37So I told her, Ning, I have a wound on my hand.
04:40I told her, I have a wound on my hand.
04:44I brought a band-aid.
04:53Then I showed her my engagement ring.
05:00She was really happy. She was crying.
05:02Then we were hugging each other.
05:04I was also crying.
05:05That's why when she got married, she had the best child.
05:23Not only in her graduation or marriage, Yaya Maning was also present.
05:28Even to the children of her children, she was also present.
05:32Yaya reached the fourth generation.
05:36And in the middle of our shoot with Yaya Maning and the Tan family,
05:40Yaya received a good news.
05:45One of her children is already pregnant.
05:48This is the newborn baby of Yaya Maning's child, Janie.
05:53And who else will give birth?
05:55Of course, Yaya.
05:57Hi, Ning.
05:58Thank you for your service to our family.
06:01We are very happy.
06:03How are you and how is your cooking?
06:06My children, thank you for your love.
06:10Yaya, we wish you all the best and good health.
06:14Thank you for giving me a child.
06:17I will never forget it.
06:19I will never forget the 25 kilos you gave me.
06:24Even though they are not blood relatives,
06:26they show their love to Yaya Maning as if they are a real family.
06:34Even though they are separated from their own family,
06:36Yaya Maning is still Yaya Maning when it comes to love.
06:53To be continued...
