Welcome back to "Sarap 'Di Ba?"
00:07
You know, it's so nice to chat, right?
00:09
Yes!
00:10
Especially when there are snacks, when there's food,
00:12
it's so nice to chat and chat.
00:15
That's why I won't miss this opportunity
00:19
to talk and put Faith DeSilva in the hot seat.
00:24
Alright!
00:25
Here we go. I'll start.
00:26
Let's not go around.
00:28
I'm sure many people have asked you,
00:30
many people have interviewed you
00:33
about your first meeting with your dad, Dennis DeSilva.
00:38
Yes.
00:39
Because I know you were one year old
00:42
when you separated.
00:44
And then this December,
00:46
this was the first time you saw your father.
00:50
Yes.
00:50
So that was after 22 years?
00:53
22 years.
00:54
After 22 years.
00:55
So meaning, you were one year old,
00:58
you don't have any memories with your dad.
00:59
None.
01:00
None. Because you don't have any memories when you were one year old.
01:03
So you don't have any pictures growing up?
01:05
We don't have any pictures together.
01:07
Okay.
01:08
But you know that your father is Dennis DeSilva.
01:11
I just know his name,
01:14
but I have no idea about his job in the past.
01:17
Or what he looked like.
01:19
Yes, or if he was an artist or what.
01:21
I don't have any idea.
01:22
So when did you find out that Dennis DeSilva,
01:25
the artist in the past,
01:26
is my dad and this is what happened to him?
01:29
Maybe when my teachers asked me.
01:33
Okay.
01:34
Yeah, from school.
01:35
Okay. Because you said growing up,
01:38
you knew that your dad is from another country.
01:41
Yes.
01:42
Okay. And then when you were in school,
01:45
your teachers asked you,
01:46
and of course you answered that your dad is from another country.
01:49
Yeah.
01:50
Because when they see the name Dennis DeSilva,
01:53
they know him because they are his idols.
01:56
They are his crushes.
01:57
Here's the thing.
01:59
I'm not going to hide it.
02:00
I'm not going to contain it.
02:02
Because Dennis is one of my crushes in the show business.
02:06
I'm not an artist yet.
02:08
I watched him on Ninja Kids,
02:10
before we talk about this,
02:11
I have some stories.
02:13
At least you have something happy with your dad.
02:15
I really watched him on Ninja Kids.
02:19
I think I was the youngest one.
02:21
Because he's so cute.
02:23
Oh my gosh.
02:24
He's really cute.
02:25
But anyway, that's my story.
02:27
So here it is.
02:28
Last year, December,
02:29
finally, you had the chance to meet.
02:33
Yes.
02:34
I want to know first, how did it happen?
02:36
Who planned it?
02:38
Who initiated it?
02:40
I want to see him.
02:41
I want to meet him.
02:43
Was it you or him?
02:44
Me.
02:45
Because?
02:46
Because I have been planning for it for a long time.
02:50
Of course, I had to take my time to make sure that
02:54
I'm sure that when we meet,
02:56
I'm not going to have negative emotions.
03:01
No hatred, no anger.
03:02
None of that.
03:03
Okay.
03:04
What was your first reaction or feeling?
03:08
That this is it.
03:10
I'm almost there.
03:11
I'm going in.
03:13
I was really nervous.
03:14
I couldn't sleep.
03:16
I'm sure.
03:17
I was thinking about what I'm going to wear,
03:19
what I'm going to tell him.
03:21
I was directing myself,
03:23
my mind, to what I want to happen.
03:26
But when I was there,
03:27
it felt so different.
03:29
It was meant to happen.
03:33
I felt like I was a kid.
03:35
I felt like I was a kid,
03:39
with faith, longing for him.
03:41
And finally, when I was able to hug him,
03:44
that's when I really cried.
03:45
That's when I became emotional.
03:46
Because it's like a puzzle,
03:49
that was just right.
03:52
God blessed me at the right time.
03:55
Maybe if I was there earlier,
03:58
Your reaction would have been like that.
04:00
Yes.
04:01
I might have questions for him
04:03
that wouldn't have helped deepen our relationship.
04:07
And I feel like all of your plans
04:10
and your reactions,
04:12
were all lost.
04:14
Because this is what you said,
04:16
that you can't act.
04:18
Those moments were different.
04:20
It's like you were just carried away by your emotions.
04:23
I was so confused when you told me
04:28
that you were a kid with faith.
04:31
Because it's like,
04:32
"Oh my gosh, I'm just going to hug my dad now."
04:35
So this is what grew.
04:37
Because you don't have a father figure.
04:39
Right?
04:40
That lack of a father figure,
04:44
did you find it in your male friends?
04:48
Or in your boyfriends?
04:52
I was so confused.
04:54
Really?
04:55
Because it's just two things.
04:56
You can be attracted to older men,
04:59
or not.
05:02
Yes, it became natural for me
05:05
to choose men who are ahead of me.
05:11
Like, more mature.
05:14
Not because,
05:15
maybe subconsciously,
05:18
I'm not aware that
05:20
those are my choices when it comes to men.
05:23
But my longing for a man in my life,
05:27
outside of my family,
05:28
that's what really happens.
05:30
That's why I was wondering before,
05:32
I was like, "Why am I still in grade school?"
05:34
I already had boyfriends.
05:36
I mean, puppy love,
05:37
things like that.
05:38
But I never lost someone by my side.
05:43
Until I realized that,
05:45
"Okay, this is a daddy issue."
05:47
When you realized that,
05:49
and you fixed it,
05:50
did your outlook on love life change?
05:53
Yes.
05:54
I haven't dated since.
05:56
Oh.
05:57
Yes, maybe it's been three years
06:00
since I finally realized,
06:02
the truth is that,
06:04
"Okay, there's something here."
06:06
It's not like, "That's your trauma."
06:08
Because when I noticed,
06:10
when you really lined up,
06:11
they were both the same.
06:13
And I saw what my dad's quality is.
06:17
Oh my gosh.
06:18
That's what really drives me crazy.
06:19
So those two hours,
06:20
of course, that's not enough.
06:22
If I give you additional time
06:24
to communicate or to spend time with your dad,
06:26
what else do you want to say to him?
06:28
I just wanted to hug him more.
06:32
I just wanted more.
06:35
I wanted more from it.
06:38
Because I have been longing for it
06:44
for almost two decades.
06:47
And I want to be thankful for that moment.
06:51
You know, it happened, I'm here, I'm with you.
06:54
But I want to hug him more.
06:57
Actually, sometimes words aren't enough.
07:00
But actions,
07:02
like hugging is more than enough.
07:05
When you hug or when you touch someone,
07:09
it's beyond words.
07:11
The things you can't express,
07:13
the things you can't express in your heart,
07:15
but when you touch or when you hug someone,
07:18
it's enough.
07:20
But you are still lucky, you're still blessed
07:23
because your dad's still here.
07:25
You can visit your dad anytime.
07:27
I suppose you can.
07:28
Yes, now I know I can.
07:30
So you can.
07:31
I'm sure you'll create more wonderful memories with your dad,
07:35
even if you're in that situation.
07:38
Because there are others,
07:40
no matter what happens,
07:41
no matter what I wish for,
07:44
I can never have.
07:45
Hug my dad.
07:46
At least you still have a chance,
07:49
you still have time,
07:50
even if you say it's only two hours a day,
07:52
at least you get to spend two hours daily with your dad.
07:57
So you're still blessed,
07:58
and you're still okay.
08:01
And I'm so happy for you because
08:03
you have a lot of realizations,
08:06
you have a lot of issues that you've solved,
08:09
that it's not easy.
08:10
Because acceptance is just the name.
08:12
Because that's the first step, right?
08:14
And anything that you go through in your life,
08:16
acceptance is the hardest.
08:18
Because we're always in denial,
08:19
"No, we're not like that, we're not like that."
08:21
Accepting whatever the problem is,
08:24
that's the hardest.
08:25
I know it's a sensitive topic,
08:28
but thank you so much for the trust.
08:30
And it's so happy to talk about this.
08:34
Because moving forward in life.
08:36
And you know that you're gonna see each other again, right?
08:39
Just don't forget.
08:42
Anyway, thank you, thank you again so much.
08:46
For sharing your thoughts and your inner feelings.
08:50
We're gonna leave soon,
08:51
there's a lot more to happen.
08:52
Keep on sharing happiness.
