00:00 From Ormoc, Leyte, a month of anxiety for his only daughter.
00:05 Why didn't you really go to your house?
00:08 Why did you do this?
00:11 I miss the child.
00:14 Despite a disagreement,
00:17 his daughter did not return to him when he used to be with her
00:20 from his vacation in Manila last Christmas.
00:25 I wish that I have a father who can see me.
00:30 I wish I have a father who can see my whole family.
00:34 In his pursuit to get his daughter back,
00:38 Dalagita seems to have lost her mind.
00:42 Wait, wait. I'm still explaining.
00:46 Joseline shouts, "Son, why did you do that?"
00:51 A mother from Ormoc, Leyte, is worried about her only child.
00:55 They haven't given their daughter to her ex-partner.
00:58 It seems that she has no plans to return the child to him.
01:02 The father should have just been on vacation.
01:05 Can he go home now because of the custody?
01:08 From Ormoc, Leyte, Joseline Dovis flew to Manila for an important mission.
01:14 A meeting was held between her and her father.
01:20 Joseline decided to find and talk to her father.
01:24 I felt so bad that I really wanted to go and find the child.
01:31 I asked for his address, but he refused to give it to me.
01:35 Joseline's story, December 19, 2023.
01:38 Her ex-partner and father, Patricia, who is Elvin Ordin,
01:42 came to Ormoc City to borrow their child.
01:45 He borrowed the child for Christmas and New Year.
01:48 He promised me that he will return the child after New Year.
01:51 For me, just to have a bonding with the child, I allowed it.
01:55 In the agreement between Joseline and Elvin,
01:58 they both went to their barangay hall in Ormoc.
02:01 It was decided that Elvin will return Patricia on January 3, 2024.
02:06 But what's the problem? Elvin still doesn't agree with Patricia.
02:11 I gave him a two-day allowance.
02:14 I told him that he can stay until 5 if there's a problem.
02:18 He can stay until January 5.
02:20 I waited for him until January 5.
02:23 I told my ex to return the child.
02:25 There's a school for that. He will go to school. Don't delay it.
02:29 According to the Family Code of the Philippines,
02:31 if the parents are not married, like Joseline and Elvin,
02:35 their child's biological mother should be under custody.
02:39 That's why Joseline decided to fight for her right.

02:46 There's a possibility that the child is inside.
