00:05How did you know that you were adopted?
00:09It was mom. Mommy.
00:12Okay, but what triggered her?
00:14Ah, maybe...
00:15You didn't go to school?
00:17It was a little bit.
00:18It was a little bit, I remember.
00:20It was a little bit.
00:24My parents, dad and mom, they never made me feel adopted.
00:29They, I was their daughter.
00:31So, and I think it was, it's not I think it was.
00:37It was other, it was coming always from other people.
00:40Na, oh, yan yung ampun ni Nora.
00:42Or, ito yung adopted ni Nora.
00:44So, ako siguro, growing up na, ano yun?
00:48Ano yung adopted? Ano yung ampun?
00:50So, yun ang nag-trigger kay Ate Gay siguro para magpaliwanag sa'yo?
00:53Yes, I think so.
00:54And then, she sat me down.
00:56Kaming dalawa lang.
00:57And then, sinabi nga niya na yung difference namin dalawa.
01:01Ah, na yung isa, pinagbuntis niya.
01:03Tapos, ako daw, bigay ng Panginoon sa kanya.
01:06Parehon, galing sa puso.
01:07Ganyan, so.
01:08You discovered much later kung paano ka inadapt.
01:12How did it happen?
01:13Ah, through, through people who were also close to mom.
01:18Yes.
01:18Yes.
01:18I don't know if you...
01:20Si Tito Mar de Guzman.
01:22Yes.
01:22He rest in peace.
01:23So, he has a whole article about that.
01:26Ah, I think his slap magazine pa yun nung araw eh.
01:29And then, nabasa ko yun.
01:30Mahal na mahal natin si Tito Mar.
01:31Yes.
01:32And then...
01:33Doon mo nabasa?
01:34Doon ko nabasa.
01:35And doon yung pangalan ng biological parents ko.
01:38Okay.
01:39And then, doon.
01:41Doon ko po siya nabasa.
01:43Yung storya nila.
01:44And then, syempre, yung mga nakapaligid kay mami na,
01:48nung dinala nga ako sa La Vista.
01:51La Vista pa yun?
01:52Sa La Vista pa yun.
01:54And then, meron ngang lola na nagdala sa akin.
01:59And then, it was Mamay Tuning who was there.
02:02And then, nag-usap sila and stuff like that.
02:04Naalala ko pa yung bahay sa La Vista.
02:05Yung may bilog.
02:06Yes, laki ng bahay na yun.
02:08Na mataas.
02:10Oo, napakalaki ng bahay.
02:12You were legally adopted?
02:14Yes, I'm legally adopted.
02:16Kasi yan ang itinatanong ng marami na napag-usapan natin.
02:20Yes.
02:20I know that you met your biological parents.
02:23Yes, I did.
02:24What pushed you to meet them?
02:28It's out of curiosity, actually.
02:32Alam mo po sa school kasi, of course, alam ko na na adopted ako ni mommy and daddy.
02:38And then, laging ang tanong sa school, medical, ano mo, medical, sa medical records, what do you call that, diba?
02:46Okay.
02:46And then, may history.
02:49Okay.
02:49Medical history.
02:50So, ang lagi kong sagot, hindi ko alam eh.
02:54Hindi ko alam yung medical history ko eh.
02:56Kasi hindi ko alam kung sino yung mga magulang ko, kung ano yung mga naging sakit nila and stuff like
03:01that.
03:01Okay.
03:01So, yun.
03:04And then, curiosity.
03:07And then…
03:07You met your mother when you were 18.
03:09Yes, I did.
03:10How did that happen?
03:12Through Mamita.
03:13Through Pilita Corrales.
03:16Through Mamita.
03:17Because Mamita had a show in the States.
03:20And then, they met there.
03:22Naunaan sila nagkakilala.
03:23Para nagpakilala si Mama Eva sa kanya.
03:26And then, nung nagkaroon naman kami ng show, dinala kami ni Mamita doon.
03:30And then, dumating si Mama Eva.
03:32And then, doon niya nakilala si Janine.
03:35At doon ko siya nakilala.
03:36How was that?
03:38May mga katanong ang kabang na itanong.
03:41Lahat ang gusto mong malaman.
03:43Tinitignan ko lang siya.
03:44Ah, talaga?
03:45Yeah.
03:45Ang surreal eh.
03:47Tinitignan ko lang siya.
03:49And then, I was just interested in her story.
03:52Yung story niya, kung paano.
03:55Diba?
03:56Kung paano ako nagmula sa kanya.
03:57And the short of that long story was?
04:00She met my father, my biological father, in Subic that time.
04:06Mr. Olson.
04:07Si Mr. Olson.
04:08Si Papa D, Donald.
04:10And then, medyo nagkaroon sila ng problema.
04:14Personal problem.
04:15Nagkahihwalay.
04:18Ang kwento, the time that I was born is that he was in the hospital.
04:24He saw me when I was born.
04:27Kaya lang, since nagkahihwalay na sila, naiwan nga ako kay Mama Eva.
04:32But did you ask why she allowed you to be adopted?
04:39She didn't know.
04:40Hindi niya alam?
04:41No.
04:42Because nagtatrabaho siya nun eh.
04:44And then, siguro, sa hirap din ang buhay, hindi ko alam eh.
04:47Dahil I never got to talk to my biological grandmother.
04:50So, ang pagkakwento sa akin yung Mama Eva, pag uwi niya, wala na ako.
04:56Okay.
04:56Pero hinanap ka niya?
04:57Hinanap niya ako.
04:59Oh.
04:59And then, I guess, siguro, after a while, she realized that I was, mas maganda na yung buhay ko, where
05:06I was brought.
05:07So, hindi na niya inano.
05:10Hindi na niya pinush, ika nga.
05:13Oo.
05:13Kumusta at nasaan ang iyong relasyon sa kanya ngayon?
05:16We keep in touch.
05:18She messages me from night to time.
05:21Ako din ganun sa kanya.
05:23Nangangamusta, ganyan.
05:26Open.
05:27Open yung communication.
05:28What about dad?
05:29Same.
05:30Same.
05:31Si Papa Donald, he has five children.
05:352023.
05:36Tama ba ang taon?
05:38I met him 2013 for the first time.
05:412013, first time.
05:42Yes.
05:43And then?
05:43And then, he came to visit after that.
05:46Okay.
05:46Ako.
05:47And then, meron siyang limang anak from his previous marriage, who all already came also to visit.
05:54And they were here when I got married to my husband.
05:59Oo.
05:59But, kumusta yung pagkikita niyo naman ng dad?
06:02Good.
06:03Okay naman.
06:05He hugged me.
06:06He apologized.
06:08Nag-sorry.
06:09Nag-sorry siya.
06:10Nag-sorry si Mama Eva sa akin.
06:13Ang sa akin naman kasi, Tito Boy, may Mama Gay ako at siya Daddy Boyet eh.
06:19Yung sa akin talaga, it was, sino sila?
06:23It was out of curiosity.
06:25Yes.
06:25Minahal naman din ako ng buong-buo ni Mama Gay and ni Daddy Boyet.
06:28At nag-ngangayon, mahal ako ng Daddy ko.
06:31So, ni Daddy.
06:32So, I'm just happy na tahi yung kwento.
06:39No, sinabi mo yan sa akin, there was no reason for you to actually look for.
06:43Yeah.
06:44Dahil binusong ka ng pagmamahal.
06:46Yes.
06:46Ni Ate Guy at saka ni Boyet.
06:49Oo.
06:49So, klaro yun.
06:50But, out of curiosity, di ba?
06:52May mga bagay na kinakailangan.
06:54Yes.
06:54Tapusin natin ang kwento, malaman natin paano nagsimula.
06:56At yun nga ang nangyari.
06:59Yes.
07:00True.
07:00It's just that, yung storya nila, yung storya nilang yun, syempre, naapektuhan ako.
07:06So, I just needed to know.
07:50So, I just needed to know.
07:57Manu marfilis less than 5.
07:58Attainite is far, not so.
07:58You know, it's not scary.
