00:00In Mati in Davao Oriental, let's get to know their cutest baby driver.

00:11The pickup trucks in Barangay Sanghai in the city of Mati in Davao Oriental

00:17are often loaded with construction supplies.

00:21But because the vehicles are big and the roads are bumpy,

00:26it's hard for them to maneuver.

00:30On the other hand, one of the drivers of this truck

00:36seems to have milk in his mouth.

00:43John Mark, who is only 4 feet tall,

00:47is the tallest among the grade 2 students.

00:51This is the pickup truck I drive.

00:54Even though it's a small vehicle, it's not afraid to get on the truck.

01:00It's placed in front of the handlebars.

01:02The pedals are reached.

01:04I'll lower it a little so I can reach the clutch.

01:08And then, it's driven.

01:19It's delivered within the barangay.

01:21They'll give me P300.

01:23It's really hard for me to drive when the pedals are manual and deep.

01:28If I need to use the brakes, I'll lower it so I can reach the brakes.

01:32And don't underestimate him.

01:34He can also drive a car.

01:37I'm a cabot accelerator.

01:38I've been driving since I was a kid.

01:40Hey, Naya!

01:43Even a motorcycle on the highway.

01:47Where his companions have bigger vehicles.

01:52Next, we have Totoy.

01:55He was chased by the HPG or the Highway Patrol Group.

01:59They really took my motorcycle.

02:01Are you nervous about the person behind the handlebars?

02:10We know that a child should not drive a truck because it's very dangerous.

02:16But even though he looks smart, John Mark has something to clarify.

02:21I'm not a kid anymore.

02:23I'm 19 years old.

02:26Yes, this driver is legal.

02:31They can't believe it because they say I'm 5 years old.

02:34It's like I'm not 19 years old.

02:36But even though John Mark looks smart, is he allowed to drive?

02:46John Mark is often mistaken as a child.

02:49Sometimes, when I ride a bus, the conductor tells me,

02:53Oh, a child is not allowed here.

02:54We might be stopped at the checkpoint because there's a child and no one is with us.

02:59Our baby face is just a child.

03:02The responsibilities in life are already heavy.

03:05My first job is feeding the dogs.

03:08Free house, free food.

03:10Then I have an allowance of 500 a week.

03:13He also became a houseboy in Mati.

03:16This is what I use when I wash dishes.

03:20My aunt brought me to a stop in the municipality.

03:23I help at home.

03:25I've been there for 2 years.

03:26They also taught me.

03:30John Mark is now in his first year in the Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness Management.

03:36My dream is to become a businessman and build a big farm.

03:40I talked to myself.

03:42I really say that if I become a businessman, I will help the poor.

03:48But even in school, he is still being stopped.

03:52There is no elementary school here.

03:54I said, I'm not a kid anymore.

03:56I already have an ID here in the school.

03:58The college is no longer obvious.

04:00I thought he was just a teacher.

04:02In the whole school, he is the only student who is of that level.

04:06Good morning, class.

04:07Good morning, sir.

04:08Oh, you're a student?

04:10I thought he was just a student's brother.

04:12Like a small artist.

04:13Because a lot of people know him.

04:16When I'm in the park,

04:18I carry things.

04:24When I'm in the canteen,

04:25I'm surrounded by girls.

04:28Can I take a picture?

04:31You're so cute.

04:33They pinch my cheeks.

04:34Hey, you're so cute.

04:36We didn't expect him to be our classmate.

04:39He's so cute.

04:42His face is like a child,

04:44especially his voice.

04:46In school, John Mark also needs inspiration.

04:50So, like his other peers,

04:53John Mark is also in love.

04:56I was 17 when I had a girlfriend.

04:59She became my girlfriend.

05:00Almost 3 months.

05:01We didn't see each other,

05:02only on Facebook.

05:04But if John Mark is really looking for love,

05:07then John Mark is the love

05:09from his own parents.

05:12John Mark didn't know his real father.

05:17While his mother, Pheline,

05:19left him to his grandmother, Marlinda,

05:22and grandfather, Felix.

05:24After 3 days of being together,

05:25he left us.

05:27John Mark is a poor child

05:29because his mother doesn't know

05:31that he was raised without a father or a mother.

05:38It's really hard to have no parents

05:40because I get jealous when I see the whole family.

05:48Pheline had two more children from another man,

05:51Rene Boy and Nicole.

05:54Like John Mark,

05:55he was also left in the power of his grandparents.

05:59His mother said,

06:00I will give you the child because I will look for a job.

06:03We don't know where he will go.

06:06I cried because of the poverty of my three grandchildren.

06:16I don't have anything to ask them.

06:18All I can say is,

06:22why did they do this to us?

06:24They just left us.

06:26Our grandmothers and grandfathers

06:28can't take it anymore.

06:30It really hurts because

06:32how many years did they leave us?

06:38They didn't support us.

06:42I can forgive them

06:44because they said that

06:46I should forgive them.

06:50I'm just a human being.

06:52I hope you can hear this.

06:55I hope you can see this.

07:03Years later,

07:04John Mark's siblings grew up,

07:07but he seemed to be left behind.

07:10Even though my brother is small,

07:12we respect him.

07:14I will sell okra for 35 pesos per kilo

07:18to buy rice.

07:19My grandfather's job is in the field.

07:22Now, he just takes care of the chickens in the field.

07:25When the chickens grow up,

07:28he sells them to make a living.

07:32Their life became more difficult

07:35when his grandfather Felix died in 2021.

07:39It became more difficult

07:42because no one works for us.

07:45That's when it started.

07:47My grandmother couldn't support us,

07:53so I worked as a student

07:56to finish my studies.

08:00When my grandfather passed away,

08:03my family was left with nothing.

08:06We had to work to make a living.

08:17This is the motorcycle

08:19that my friends bought from a junk shop.

08:22They gave me a lot of money

08:24to buy this motorcycle

08:26so I could go to school.

08:29However, whenever John Mark drives,

08:32he is often blocked at the checkpoint

08:35not because he is a child.

08:37I don't have a license because I don't have money.

08:40I didn't register my motorcycle.

08:42I just discarded it

08:43so I wouldn't be late for class.

08:46Just a reminder,

08:47it is very dangerous to drive without a license.

08:51This is strictly prohibited by the law.

08:54If the driver doesn't have a driver's license

08:58and is apprehended,

09:00the unit will be impounded.

09:03My dream is to have a complete registration

09:06and a license

09:08so I can slowly go to the police.

09:12Will he be given a license

09:14despite his height?

09:17The LTO has no guidelines

09:19regarding height requirements.

09:21You need to be 16 years old and above

09:23physically and mentally fit.

09:25The LTO Mati District Office is willing to assist

09:28Sergeant Mark

09:29so he can get a driver's license.

09:32We are also willing to assist

09:34on how to register his motorcycle.

09:39It is not allowed for him to drive

09:42a standard cargo type

09:45or pickup type of motor vehicle

09:48not unless it is customized

09:50according to his situation.

09:53It is really dangerous

09:54because there is a high risk involved

09:57in terms of motor vehicle.

09:59I will not drive a truck

10:01unless I can drive a standard one.

10:05But what is John Mark's condition?

10:08He was checked by our team

10:10by a specialist.

10:12Initially, I think it is dwarfism.

10:14We have another consideration

10:16which is Neotenic Complex Syndrome.

10:18His lifespan is the same

10:20as normal people.

10:22So there is nothing to worry about.

10:24Meanwhile,

10:25the LTO Mati District Office

10:28provided food and financial assistance.

10:31Thank you to everyone who helped me.

10:34I am happy because...

10:44I was surprised, sir.

10:48This is a big help for us.

10:51I gave help to my grandmother

10:53and my siblings.

10:55This is also a big help for us, sir,

10:58for the farm.

11:01You can go to the office.

11:04Quarterly, you can receive

11:06the educational assistance.

11:08When you graduate,

11:10the CSWD Mati and PESO

11:13can help you find a job.

11:16Thank you very much

11:17to everyone who helped me

11:19and to LTO Mati.

11:20Thank you very much.

11:21And to my heart, Jessica Suo.

11:23Thank you very much.

11:28Even though John Mark looks young,

11:30his experiences are not a joke.

11:33His maturity is true.

11:37He does not look old.

11:40But somehow,

11:42he was determined

11:43and his experiences

11:45made him strong in life.
