00:49One of the things that our countrymen are trying to avoid
00:53is the tiktok of young people on social media.
00:57Here's a video of Diego Garcia of Tubong Davao de Oro.
01:02He was born with no legs,
01:05but he has come a long way
01:07to fulfill his dream of getting to know the people.
01:12Millions are already watching his singing,
01:15art, and dancing on YouTube.
01:18But he went through two decades of painful insults
01:24about his condition
01:26and the difficult trials that his family went through.
01:31This is the episode that we are all looking forward to,
01:38the episode called
01:40Footless and Fearless,
01:43The Diego Garcia Story.
01:46One, ha!
01:48Aye!
01:52Supply, supply.
01:54Whoa, ha!
01:56Shoot, shoot, shoot.
01:58And go!
01:59Boom!
02:01Thank you, honey.
02:03Of course.
02:05Mama, did you see how happy I am?
02:07Yes, very good.
02:08Of course.
02:09Crush just answered my call.
02:11Hey, Brother Bilidjo,
02:13why are you so jealous of Mama and Brother Popoy?
02:16Oh, no.
02:17Diego,
02:18don't be afraid.
02:19If you get chased by women,
02:22you'll be more handsome than us,
02:25Brother Bilidjo.
02:26Of course,
02:27just like Mama, right?
02:30Okay, you two,
02:31crush, crush, crush.
02:33It's okay if it's a crush.
02:35As long as you don't neglect your studies, okay?
02:39Of course, Mama.
02:41When I get a job,
02:42you'll be the prettiest girl in the house.
02:44Oh, Jesus.
02:45You don't have to be as pretty as Nina.
02:47Brother Popoy, Brother Bilidjo,
02:49I'll answer you.
02:50Okay, Brother.
02:52Really?
02:54I'll be counting on you, okay?
02:57Yes, Mama.
03:01Ouch, ouch, ouch.
03:03Oh, you hugged your son so tightly.
03:11I love you.
03:20How long are you going to endure
03:21what Papa and Mama did to you?
03:35Diego,
03:36you were born with a rare disease
03:40known as Tetra-Amelia Syndrome.
03:43What kind of disease is that?
03:45This is because
03:47when I was pregnant,
03:49I was taking pills.
03:51It was my last pregnancy.
03:53He was already pregnant with you.
03:54What happened to my hand was incomplete finger.
03:57If you can see,
03:58it's not complete.
04:00Then,
04:01I don't have a foot.
04:03Your feet or your legs?
04:05Legs, really.
04:06How did that feel to you
04:08as a little boy growing up?
04:17Really.
04:18From the elementary to secondary,
04:20that's how it happened.
04:22Since you were a child,
04:23did you witness
04:25your father's pain
04:27to your mother?
04:28Yes.
04:29The problem with Papa and Mama
04:31is that when he's drunk,
04:33he gets drunk.
04:35He's out of control
04:36until there's no time left.
04:38He's always hurting Mama.
04:40Ma,
04:41I've prepared Papa's bathroom.
04:43Thank you, Ma.
04:45Add five tomatoes.
04:47Here.
04:48Yes, Ma.
04:49Five.
04:53Papa,
04:54let's eat.
04:55Pa,
04:56Linconsa.
04:57Just a little bit.
04:58A little bit of coffee.
04:59In Mama's bathroom.
05:00I'll put it here.
05:01Okay.
05:03Your Mama.
05:06My love,
05:07let's go to the market together.
05:09Let's eat.
05:10I don't feel like it.
05:12I don't know if I'll ever go back to this house.
05:16I don't know if this house
05:17is a house or a fairytale.
05:21Pa,
05:22don't be like that.
05:24Besides, Diego is your son.
05:27You're already answering
05:28because you're all grown up.
05:29If you want me to hit you,
05:30hit all four of you.
05:31It's too early.
05:32You'll get mad.
05:33I'll go to the market.
05:36Let's go.
05:41How did your brother, Billy Joe,
05:42take care of you?
05:43He's the one I rely on.
05:45If there's a problem,
05:46he's there for me.
05:47Especially when I'm in the middle
05:49of helping others.
05:51He's the one
05:52who protects me.
05:53That's how it is.
05:55Brother Kokoy,
05:56Diego,
05:57you're so kind.
05:59To tell you the truth,
06:00we're already married.
06:02Our Mama is pitiful.
06:04Why does Papa
06:05look at her like a punching bag?
06:06It's just that
06:07Papa and I gave up.
06:10But Mama
06:11always reminds us
06:12not to be mad at Papa.
06:16Papa is okay, right?
06:19He won't get drunk.
06:22He's kind to us sometimes.
06:25Even so,
06:26he shouldn't be
06:27hitting Mama.
06:29Remember Diego,
06:30a woman loves him,
06:31not hurt him.
06:34Ma?
06:40There.
06:41Ma, we have something
06:42to show you.
06:50Ma?
06:53What's going on?
06:56Ma?
07:00Ma?
07:02Ma?
07:04Ma?
07:07Ma?
07:13Ma?
07:14What happened?
07:15What happened?
07:18What did Papa do?
07:19Where's Papa, Ma?
07:21Ma, where's Papa, Ma?
07:23Ma!
07:27We're just friends.
07:34We're just friends.
07:49Did your Papa
07:51display violence
07:52to you as well?
07:55Papa never
07:56hurt us.
07:58Even so,
07:59if he does,
08:03I'll go to sleep.
08:06That's what Papa
08:07always waits for
08:08when he gets drunk.
08:10I'm just worried.
08:12He was so drunk earlier.
08:14Maybe,
08:15what if that happened again?
08:17Maybe,
08:18he got into a fight again.
08:19Are you still thinking about Papa?
08:22Look at yourself.
08:23You almost died earlier.
08:25Do you still love life, Ma?
08:27I just want
08:29our family to be strong.
08:32What if
08:33he changes?
08:35What if he doesn't change, Ma?
08:37I'm just not showing it to you.
08:39It hurts so much
08:40when I see you
08:41like this,
08:42with your eyes closed.
08:46You're not going to catch me, right?
08:51Because I'm going to catch you.
08:59You're not going to catch me, right?
09:16You're not going to catch me, right?
09:17You're not going to catch me, right?
09:19You're not going to catch me, right?
09:20Jeygo, are you going to come back?
09:30I'm still waiting for Kuya Villejo.
09:35Why are you still waiting for your Kuya? You can fly, right?
09:38Yes, I can fly.
09:39Yes.
09:40Why?
09:41There's always someone who can fly, right?
09:43I can fly! I can fly!
09:46Jeygo!
09:47Jeygo, you can fly, right?
09:49You can fly, Jeygo!
09:50You can fly!
09:52I don't want to get caught.
09:54Jeygo, I'm going to catch you.
09:56You can fly, Jeygo!
09:57You can fly, Jeygo!
09:58You can fly, Jeygo!
09:59That's enough!
10:00You can fly, Jeygo!
10:01You can fly, Jeygo!
10:03You're hurting me, Jeygo!
10:04Apologize!
10:05How can I apologize? I'm telling the truth!
10:09Apologize!
10:10I'm going to beat you up!
10:11Apologize!
10:12You're hurting me!
10:14Jeygo!
10:15I'm sorry, Jeygo!
10:17I'm sorry, Jeygo!
10:19Apologize! Apologize!
10:20I'm sorry!
10:21Apologize!
10:22I'm sorry!
10:23Get out of here!
10:25You, come here.
10:26I'm sorry, let me stay here.
10:36Stop, Jeygo.
10:39You're going to get old.
10:40But always remember,
10:43as long as your Billy Joe protector is here,
10:45no one can hurt you.
10:47Thank you, brother.
11:11Son.
11:30Mom, is it true what Dad said when you fought?
11:35What is it, son?
11:36I don't want to be like this.
11:39I don't want to be like this because I don't want to live like the way I was before.
11:47I've been thinking about how you didn't fight before.
11:51I wish I knew how it feels to wear nice shoes like them, brother.
11:59I wish I could walk.
12:01I wish I could walk.
12:05I don't want my classmates to look down on me.
12:13I'm sorry, son.
12:16I'm sorry.
12:18It's my fault.
12:22It's my fault.
12:23Please forgive me.
12:25I'm sorry.
12:26I'm sorry.
12:29I don't want you to be like that.
12:34Because I thought you'd be hurt if I left you.
12:43I'm not ready to have a child again.
12:48Because I thought you'd be hurt.
12:53What your father did to me is worse than this.
12:57It's worse than this.
13:15I'm sorry, son.
13:17I've been thinking about what kind of future I'm giving you.
13:24Even if it's my own.
13:25I can't protect you.
13:28I can't take care of you.
13:32I'm sorry, son.
13:34I questioned my ability to love as a mother.
13:42I'm sorry, son.
13:44Don't be hurt by my mistakes, son.
13:49Please forgive me.
13:52Please forgive me.
13:55I love you, son.
13:57Please forgive me, son.
14:02I've forgiven you for a long time, mom.
14:07I'm proud of you, son.
14:09I love you, son.
14:12Even if I don't have money.
14:16Even if I don't have a house.
14:20Even if other people look down on me.
14:24It's okay, son.
14:28As long as you're here, I'll always be by your side, son.
14:33I love you, son.
14:40When you were a child, how hard was it for you to take care of your mother?
14:46My mother was the type of mother that no matter how hard or how tired she was.
14:53She was able to take care of me because she was the one who fought for me.
14:58She did everything for me to take care of me and to finish my studies.
15:10Dad?
15:12Dad?
15:14Dad!
15:15Dad!
15:16Dad!
15:17Dad, what's wrong?
15:18Sit down.
15:19Dad, let's talk in here.
15:20Dad!
15:22Dad!
15:23Mom!
15:24Let's talk in here.
15:25Dad!
15:29Dad, don't!
15:30Dad!
15:32I don't want to die!
15:33Mom!
15:34Stop!
15:35Please.
15:38Your mother wants to speak to you.
15:39You will receive your punishments.
15:41Get out!
15:44Don't care about me!
