Transcript

00:00Aileen, why do you have two mothers?

00:06Because, when I was still a child, I was with my mother-in-law, Gloria.

00:12Gloria?

00:13Gloria.

00:14Yes, Gloria.

00:15But Gloria.

00:16Yes, Gloria.

00:17When she gave birth to me, my mother said,

00:20maybe my mother is sad because she is an old woman,

00:23maybe she wants to have children but she doesn't want to have a husband.

00:26She said, my father is older than my mother-in-law,

00:30so my father and my mother-in-law are siblings.

00:32She said, brother, if my mother-in-law is a woman,

00:36I will be the only woman.

00:38It's like a joke, right?

00:40My father is an old woman.

00:41Yes.

00:42And my mother-in-law is Gloria.

00:43My mother-in-law, Gloria, is hesitant because, of course, she is a mother.

00:47Did you have a chance to do conversations with them about who you are?

00:52Why did you accept me?

00:54I just asked who my mother is.

00:56But I didn't ask why she gave birth to me.

00:59To your mother-in-law?

01:00Yes.

01:01Why did you ask?

01:02What triggered you asking the question?

01:06Because my mother-in-law works at the Bureau of Lands.

01:11You know, sometimes, the maritas, since she doesn't have a husband,

01:15they ask me, because she always brings me to the Bureau of Lands,

01:19because I don't have a mother, I don't have a caretaker.

01:22So, they will say,

01:23Hey, Aileen, why is she your mother?

01:27Look, she doesn't have a husband, how did you become a mother?

01:30So, again and again.

01:32I asked her,

01:34Why don't you have a husband and you have a child?

01:37She said, because of this, I brought you to the Bureau of Lands.

01:41I don't remember, but that's the reason.

01:44But that's how you became a mother.

01:45Matter of factly, she told you.

01:47Yes, that's how she is.

01:49What effect did that have on you?

01:50Too much.

01:51Because I didn't understand, I was only 7 years old.

01:53Yes.

01:54I was like, oh, okay.

01:56Then, my mother asked me,

01:58maybe she said, Ate, Aileen asked you,

02:02maybe you want to bring her, because she is asking you,

02:05who is your mother?

02:07That's why I thought, maybe that's why my mother came to me.

02:11Then, I didn't know how to call her.

02:13You didn't know what to call your mother?

02:15Yes, that's right.

02:17I didn't know what to call her.

02:20I didn't call her mother, nothing.

02:23But when you saw her at 7 years old,

02:25there was blood on her face.

02:28Yes.

02:29Even though I didn't know her,

02:31but I liked her.

02:34But that was the first time you saw Nanay Gloria,

02:37your biological mother.

02:38Yes.

02:39So, what do you remember about Nanay Gloria?

02:41She was so kind.

02:42Gloria was so kind and submissive.

02:44I think she really didn't want to give me away.

02:47So, every time she saw me in person,

02:50and when I was doing artisan on TV,

02:52my siblings told me that she was always crying.

02:54In your heart and mind,

02:56you compare the two.

02:58Yes, so much.

03:00So much.

03:01Because they are really 360.

03:03Gloria is so submissive,

03:06and she is so funny,

03:08she is so kind,

03:10and a loving mother.

03:12Husta is strict,

03:14but she is the one who teaches us.

03:16And my mother has a love language.

03:20She is not gentle,

03:22but her love language is money.

03:25She always gives me money for shopping,

03:27so that I can be happy.

03:29And she always brings me to the office,

03:32so that I can be with her.

03:41Hey!
