00:00This September, I dedicated my day in the Women's Correctional.
00:06Together with the Persons Deprived of Liberty or PDL.
00:11In Dorm 12, I met Sheila.
00:14She's been in prison for 6 years.
00:17She told me that she has a mother. Her name is Apple.
00:21She pitied me.
00:23I asked Sheila to visit her mother because she had a stroke.
00:28She was left with no one to listen to her.
00:39A few weeks later, I tried to find her mother, Apple.
00:45Do you know Katihan?
00:47Yes.
00:48This is Katihan.
00:50Do you know Apple Carrera?
00:52Yes.
00:53Do you know the person who had a stroke?
00:56Yes.
00:57Where is he from?
00:58Here.
00:59Have you seen him?
01:00No, I haven't.
01:01No, it's okay.
01:02Where is he from?
01:03Go straight ahead.
01:04That house over there.
01:05No, it's okay.
01:06It's just me.
01:08The house that's yellow.
01:11The house that's yellow?
01:12Yes.
01:13That's where he lives.
01:14Okay.
01:23Sheila told me that her mother is from here.
01:26She had a stroke two months ago.
01:30Hello, mother.
01:32Good morning.
01:33Do you know Apple?
01:35Yes.
01:36Apple Carrera?
01:37Sheila's mother?
01:38Yes.
01:39Where is she from?
01:40Just go straight ahead.
01:42Then turn left.
01:43That's the house.
01:44Here?
01:45Yes.
01:46There's no roof.
01:48Is this their house?
01:50Yes.
01:51Okay.
01:59Sheila has been in prison for six years.
02:04When Apple had a stroke,
02:05no one took care of her.
02:10Hello.
02:12Is this Apple?
02:14Yes, this is Apple.
02:15She's fighting.
02:17Hello.
02:18She's fighting.
02:20Is this where they live?
02:22What if it rains?
02:23We brought her here.
02:25It's not too much.
02:26If it rains,
02:27I'll bring my daughter here.
02:29I'll bring her here.
02:32Apple,
02:34why are you crying?
02:36I'm not crying.
02:37I'm just putting this here
02:39so that she has a roof.
02:41I see.
02:43So this is how it is.
02:45Okay.
02:47I see.
02:49Ma'am,
02:50my daughter made this.
02:53She just put this here?
02:55Yes.
02:56So that it won't get wet.
02:58So that it won't get wet?
02:59Yes.
03:00If it rains suddenly,
03:01it won't get wet.
03:02It's humid here.
03:03We'll put a blanket.
03:05You'll put a blanket?
03:07Yes.
03:08Don't cry.
03:09Why are you crying?
03:11You can't speak?
03:13You can't speak?
03:16You can't speak?
03:19What's that?
03:22What did she say?
03:25Don't cry.
03:26Don't cry.
03:27Don't cry.
03:28Hi, ma'am.
03:29Good morning.
03:30I'm Kara.
03:31I'm Annalie.
03:33Hello, ma'am Annalie.
03:34I'm so happy.
03:38Your letter was sent to us right away.
03:41From the Mayor's office.
03:42This is my sister.
03:44She's the I.O.
03:46After we found out about Apol's story in Karadox,
03:51DSWD helped her move to a shelter in Muntinlupa City.
04:00Inside this facility,
04:02Apol underwent various activities and therapies
04:06to restore her health.
04:10She's drinking water.
04:12And then?
04:13She's eating.
04:17Apol may look simple,
04:20but she has a lot of goodness in her heart.
04:24Apol made a big development
04:26when she stayed here.
04:28At first, it was hard for us
04:30because even though she got out of the situation,
04:34she still wanted to come back.
04:37So, we encouraged her to stay here
04:41because that's what her son requested.
04:43And this is a better place for her
04:45because there are times when she might be ashamed
04:48to our house parents that she's being sued.
04:52We know that Apol really misses her daughter, Sheila.
04:56So, we brought her a surprise.
05:00We packed a gift that we hope will bring her happiness.
05:06This is a surprise for you.
05:08It's a Christmas gift.
05:12Apol couldn't stop crying
05:14when she read the letter she was holding.
05:17Because this letter came from her daughter, Sheila,
05:21who is still in the hospital.
05:26Apol feels the longing
05:28to see her daughter again.
05:33That's why it's important for Apol
05:36to take care of her daughter
05:38until she can see her daughter again.
05:42Mom, how are you?
05:44I just want you to know that I love you so much.
05:48More than my life.
05:50And if I can live in this world again,
05:52and I will be able to choose who I want to be a mother,
05:56I will still choose you.
06:02Mom, I love you.
