00:00My name is Lexi Gonzalez.

00:02My name is Elijah Alejo.

00:04And I didn't have a father.

00:08And I didn't have a father.

00:18It's hard, of course.

00:22Actually, more than on my part,

00:25it's more than my father's father.

00:29Because we were just one.

00:32So more than I was living without a father,

00:35I was more than a father's father's father

00:37that we did not have any life in his life.

00:43And I still thought,

00:45it's hard for life.

00:47We're not happy.

00:48And we were two brothers.

00:50That's why we were just one of them.

00:54For how many years of his life,

00:57I gotcha.

00:59There were mixed negative feelings.

01:03There were confusion.

01:06Why? What happened?

01:09What was his desire to leave?

01:13What pushed him?

01:15There was a lot.

01:17Why?

01:19In my perspective, because of him,

01:23I was trying to work for the family.

01:28Because I was trying to work for him.

01:34No.

01:36No.

01:37Because I didn't want him to leave.

01:45It's not easy.

01:47It's been a long time for forgiveness.

01:51And even though I was in the time that I wanted to leave,

01:55there were some things that I didn't like.

01:59And I remember the times when we were hard.

02:04It was hard to remember.

02:06It's hard to remember.

02:07And you know, when you forgive, you forget.

02:10I didn't do it fully until I realized that I had to come to terms.

02:17That I know all things I had to know.

02:20But I had to forgive my dad.

02:23So, I forgave.

02:25Because I did not forget.

02:27Hanggang ngayon, naalala ko pa rin lahat.

02:31So, masasabi ko na patawid ko na yung tatay ko.

02:34Mahal ko pa rin naman siya eh.

02:36Kasi tatay ko siya eh.

02:38Pero hanggang ngayon,

02:40hindi ko pa rin nakakalimutan

02:42lahat ng pinagdaanan namin.

02:44Kung ano talaga yung nararamdaman ko bilang Elijah,

02:57kumbaga parehong lumakin o walang tatay.

02:59But, magkaiba yung reasons kung bakit iniwan.

03:04Kumbaga, iaano ko lang yung feeling na

03:06bakit lumakin o walang tatay,

03:08na yung yearning for a tatay.

03:10I think yun yung i-incorporate ko kay Colleen.

03:13Kumbaga, knowing na pinagdaanan ko yun as Elijah,

03:17ipaparamdam ko yun sa viewers as Colleen.

03:27Honestly po, kasi hindi ako ready

03:30na kausapin siya.

03:32Everyone in my family knows that po.

03:35Hindi po talaga ako ready.

03:37Kasi, once po na makita ko siya,

03:40I know na I'll get really emotional.

03:49Ma, huwag ka, umiya ka.

03:50Ako, I appreciate na kumbagaan dyan talaga si mommy for me,

03:56kahit na nahihirapan na siya.

03:59Um, kasi siyempre tumatanda na,

04:02and nagkakasakit.

04:04Um, I really appreciate na nandyan siya.

04:06I just know na kung ano po yung mga ginagawa niya

04:10is yung tingin niyang makakabuti sa akin.

04:13Maka inis, huwag na.

04:18Maka inis, huwag na.

04:20Tjaring.

04:21Well, Dad,

04:23matanda na ako.

04:25I am grateful and thankful na,

04:28kahit na si mommy lang yung nasa side ko.

04:31I was able to grow up ng maayos.

04:36I have a good life.

04:38I am very grateful for that.

04:40And gusto ko lang sabihin sa'yo na,

04:42you don't have to worry about me.

04:43Hindi mo lang ako kailangan isipin.

04:45Kahit si Jigo, kahit si mommy, we're fine.

04:48Itong gusto ko lang din, okay ka.

04:51Gusto ko maging masaya ka din,

04:53maging healthy ka.

04:55Kasi I love you.

04:57And sana itong time nato ng buhay natin

05:01na we're getting closer,

05:03we're getting into terms with forgiveness.

05:06Sana magtuloy-tuloy, Dad.

05:08I also wish you and your family well.

05:12I want you to be happy.

05:14The same way na I want my mom

05:17to also be very happy with her life.

05:20Ayun lang.
