We always say
that love is mysterious. But for something so mysterious, we have a lot of criteria
when it comes to it. They need to be tall,
beautiful, handsome, kind, and responsible. Our checklist is full when it comes
to our ideal person to love, and also the ideal path
for our relationship. [man] Remember,
CPR can save lives if you do it properly. Make sure both hands are on top of the subject's sternum. Thirty compressions
per interval, like I said. -[whispers] Hey.
-What's wrong? You can't do that. -So stubborn.
-It's okay. [chuckles] [man] Gerard. Don't place your hands
on the stomach. Right on the sternum, okay? Use your body weight, okay? Administer 30 compressions
per interval, right, dear? -That's right.
-All right. Good. Don't do that. My parents are strict. [chuckles] When the village
you will provide assistance to is hit by a storm, the path that you're gonna cross
will look exactly like this. So you guys need to move fast. What's wrong with you? -Gerard is courting Jobelle.
-No way. You're in trouble,
her parents are strict. -Hey, no. Don't--
-Jobelle... -what's happening?
-Nothing, Mom. -Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
-All right. -Come on.
-[Gerard grunting] What now?
Are you not used to it? Your shoes seem new, rich kid. -[Mom] Let's go, everyone.
-Help me. I don't want to. -[Gerard] Jobelle!
-There's a snake there. -Help me.
-There's a worm there. -[Gerard] Help me! Help me! Hey!
-[Jobelle] Deal with it. -Bye-bye.
-Jobelle! Hey! -Bye! You can do it!
-[Gerard] Hey! [grunting] -Boo. [chuckles]
-[sighs] What? Are you teasing me again? Happy anniversary, boo. Happy anniversary, boo. We've been together for a year, but we haven't been caught
by your parents yet. Yet? We can never be caught
by my parents, okay? I'll be in trouble if they find out
I have a boyfriend. That's why you're annoying. It's like you really want us
to get caught. [laughs] Why?
You left me in the mud. [chuckles]
That's just right for you. -What's that?
-Nothing. -Hey, why?
-It's nothing. -You can't read it.
-Let me see! -No, you can't. Don't!
-Give it to me. Come on. -Let me see. Let me see.
-My goodness. "2009,
graduate as valedictorian. Get a scholarship
and study nursing. 2013, graduate from college. Review for board exam. 2014, get into med school." Give it to me. Wow. You're really good
at planning. Of course!
You should always have a plan. You should always be ready. What about you,
what's your plan? Are you still taking nursing
in college? Maybe. Then what are your other plans? Um... My plan is to... finish the computer game
I left at home. Hey, take this seriously.
What's your plan? Ah! You want me to get serious? [hisses] [clears throat] "2020, Gerard marries
Jobelle Fernandez." Really? -So I can kiss you already.
-Mm. [Gerard] "Dear Charo,
I met Jobelle through text. We became friends
on social media until we developed feelings. We are each other's first love. Even though we look
comfortable together, we are really different." [Jobelle] "Who wouldn't
fall in love with Gerard? One, he's handsome. Two, charming. Three, sweet. And when I'm with him,
I feel carefree." Say hi to them,
including your dad and sister. [Gerard over phone]
I'm getting bored here because you're not here. Let's meet on Saturday, okay? I need to hang this up.
My parents are here. [Dad] Yo. -Hi, Mom.
-Hi, dear. Hi, dear. -Did you eat?
-Yes. Do you want me
to heat your food? You don't have to, dear.
You're studying. It's okay. How was your last exam? I got the highest score
in our class. -Really? [chuckles]
-Yes. Ninety-seven? Impressive. Come on, dear, you would've had a perfect score if only you answer
three more questions correctly. Your scholarship might be
at risk. You know how hard
your dad and I work, right? Next time, do better, okay? -Yes, I will.
-Oh, dear. I only made three mistakes, but my mom
is still disappointed. It's like I failed
the entire exam. I know she doesn't want me
to lose my scholarship and she wants me
to be the valedictorian, but sometimes, I can't understand
their strictness. Sometimes,
I also want to hear from them that they're proud of me. -[sniffles]
-Me? I am so proud of you, boo. And even though
your eyes are closed, I believe you can be
the class valedictorian. Thanks, boo. What will I do
if you're not here? [chuckles] Come on, boo. It's not like I'm moving
to another country. I'm just going to college. We'll still see each other
all the time, okay? That's a promise, okay? [girls giggle] I'm sure you'll forget about me. That won't happen, okay? You're the most beautiful
for me. Just promise me that we'll
graduate from college together. Then we'll go to med school. -Med school?
-Yes. So we can both be doctors. You know, when I join mom
and dad in medical missions, I feel a different kind of joy
when I help others. I'm sure you'll feel that
when you become a doctor. You're always sure about
what you want to do, huh? I wish I was like that too. -Wait, let's write it down.
-[bag zips] 2012, Gerard will go... to med school. Listen, you can't back out
once it's written, okay? You're lucky I love you. Fine. Even if my head hurts
from studying, I'll become a doctor for you. I love you, boo. Hmp! You're all just talk. Why don't you prove it? Why did you do that? Well, you told me to prove it. That's not what I meant.
What's wrong with you? [Jobelle] "Little by little,
all our plans are coming true. When I graduated
as valedictorian, I introduced Gerard
to my parents. And we're happy because they accepted
our relationship. We had so many plans, but we didn't anticipate
the changes that came with college life." Sorry, boo. I really can't. I have an exam tomorrow
with Terror Prof. Don't you have an exam too?
Have you studied already? Come on, boo.
Even just one or two hours. Until now, you still haven't met
my friends. But, boo,
I really can't be complacent. I really need to study.
You should too. Fine. I'm going back. Okay then, call me
when you get home, okay? There you go. Let's drink, guys. -So, what did she say, bro?
-[sighs] Is she coming? Come on, bro,
your girlfriend is so boring. -[man] ...his girlfriend.
-[laughter] -Hi, guys! This is Jess.
-[men] Hey. -These are Kelvin's friends.
-Hi! -[Kelvin] Hello.
-[Jess] Hi! Come here. Let's just enjoy today. Jess, here's your welcome shot. -Oh, sure.
-That's your welcome shot. -Just drink.
-Excuse me. [man] Hey. It's all right. -[woman] Buy some drinks.
-[Kelvin] Okay. Aah! Of course,
you'll drink too, right? Go. Why? We are all just drinking
and having fun, right? Okay. Cheers. Go. Weaklings aren't
allowed here. See? That was easy, right? [Gerard] You're busy again?
What a surprise. You always say you're busy. Boo, one or two hours
is important to me. I really can't neglect
this subject. Are you saying that
one or two hours with me is just a waste of time? That's not what I meant. Of course I want to be with you. What I meant was drinking is a waste
of time for me. Maybe you don't realize that because you were having
too much fun. But we need to prepare
for our future. The future is still so far away. We have plenty of time
to make up for it. This is getting boring, Jobelle. -[dial tone]
-Hello? He... Hello, Boo? Hello? [Jessica] If your girlfriend
doesn't want to come, then let her be. I'm here anyway. So, let's have fun. Okay? Okay. See? That's how it is.
Just have fun. -Hey, G!
-It's your turn. Our table's over there. Go. [Jobelle]
"Back then, I feel like Gerard couldn't understand me. " Is Gerard still not answering
until now? He's so full of himself. He's so confident
that you'll chase after him. There are so many guys
out there. You're so harsh. Maybe Gerard is just busy
with his studies. You're in denial
just like Jobelle. Someone saw Gerard
with another girl. He's cheating on you. Break up with him.
Don't be a martyr. I should have just agreed
to his request. He just wanted
to spend time with me and chill. But I became too serious. You know, guys our age
are still in a YOLO mood. So, just understand, Jobelle. Girl, there's no YOLO
in a decent guy. As I said, there are many
other guys out there. I can't find someone
like Gerard anymore. Oh, Jobelle. You saw us together, right? What is a handsome guy like him
doing with a nerd like me? That's what I always felt
whenever people saw us together. Jobelle... [Gerard] "Back then, I felt like Jobelle valued many things
more than me. I know there was no excuse, but because of that, my attention shifted
to another girl. I allowed me and Jessica to have
an unlabeled relationship." Oh, you're leaving again. Did you say goodbye to your mom? Yes, Dad. Mom, I'm just going
to the movies with Kelvin
and the others, okay? [mobile phone ringing] It's my birthday today, but you'd rather be
with your friends than with me. You're always busy
with your friends. Jobelle came here earlier. Even though she's busy
with her studies, she still bought me a cake. Do you know why I like Jobelle? Because she knows who she is. She knows
what's important to her. And she seems sure about you. I knew that with her,
you will always be loved. You should keep
someone like her. Because if not, one day, you might wake up
and find that she's gone. Hey, eat up. I said we'd eat together. Ah! Ah! Mm. [laughs] Gerard! Hey, Jay. It's been a long time
since we last saw each other. I saw you the last time. I called you,
but you didn't hear me. Um, I didn't know that
you and Jobelle have broken up. Oh, no. Um, we're still together. Jessica is just
a friend of mine. -All right, bro. I'll go ahead.
-Okay, okay. I'll just go to the powder room. [Kelvin] Go ahead. Me too. I'll go with you. He might tell Jobelle. Well, that's good, bro. What you're doing isn't right. If Jobelle finds out
and breaks up with you, at least you're not
two-timing them. You wouldn't mind
if Jobelle leaves you, right? You wouldn't cheat
if she's important to you. You look different now. I decided
that I needed a change. Why did you suddenly invite me? I wanted to talk to you. About what? Since I started college, we didn't have that much time
to spend together. Now, I realize
that we're so different. I don't want
to keep hurting you, boo. What are you saying, boo? Happy Valentine's Day, boo. That one first. [pops] [Gerard, voice over]
I have a lot of shortcomings. That's next. [pops] I did a lot of mistakes. I forgot about us, I got lost... [pops] ...but I promise to change and be a better version
of myself, boo. I love you. [crying] I thought you were going
to break up with me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. Let me make it up to you. I'll spend more time with you. I'll always answer your calls. And I'll be serious now. What about... I'll accept your apology, boo. But please, don't hurt me again. Never again. [Jobelle]
"What about the other girl? Is she really gone? Who is she? Why did you risk us for her? Those were the questions I wanted to ask Gerard
back then, but I was scared." [Gerard] "I should have told her
about Jessica. I should have come clean,
but I chickened out. And I thought making it up
to Jobelle was enough to cover up
that mistake." What's this for? I said I'd make it up
to you, right? Didn't I say that being together
all the time is already a gift? Not just on weekends. Why did you do that? To prove to you that I love you. Oh, you... -Why? You liked it, right?
-Hey, not really. -You're embarrassing.
-You liked it. -You did it here again.
-How about the other side? No. [Jobelle] "As all our plans
continued to unfold, our relationship
seemed to be given new life. When we graduated from nursing,
Gerard got into med school. Meanwhile,
I became busy preparing for the nursing board exam." 150 over 100. That's quite high. It's a bit risky for a stroke. This is your medicine. Losartan,
to lower your blood pressure. Thank you so much
for checking up on my brother. Without your help, his condition
might have worsened. -You're welcome.
-Thank you, Doc. Don't stress yourself too much. [both] Thank you so much. [Gerard] Yesterday,
we didn't have much time to eat because we went
to so many houses to check on the residents'
blood pressures. I understand you now, boo. It really feels nice
when you help so many people. I'm happy to hear
that from you, boo. Just don't starve yourself,
okay? Always carry the biscuits
I packed for you in your pocket. Yes, boo. -Good morning, class.
-Our class is about to start. -Our professor is so handsome.
-My name... is Christian Ramos. And I will be your lecturer for this nursing
psychology class. [indistinct whispering] [Christian]
I'll give you a situation. Mr. Dela Isla,
a client with early dementia, exhibits thought process
disturbances. Now the nurse will assess
a loss of ability in which of the following areas? A, judgment. B, balance. C, speech or D, endurance. -Sir.
-Yes? Letter C, speech. Wrong. Anyone else? -Sir.
-Yes? A, judgment. What's your name? Uh, Jobelle Fernandez, sir. Jobelle Fernandez. Very good. [Christian] Thank you. All right. So there's been
an assessment in the loss of ability
in judgment. -What do we do next?
-[indistinct whispering] [Christian]
What will be our next step? Anyone? [Mom over phone] Dear,
you can still perfect your exam if you focus. You can still top the board exam
if you really want to. -Study well, okay?
-Yes, Mom. All right. [sniffles] Hey, Jobelle.
Are you going home? Yes, sir. I'm going home. Is there a problem? Sorry, sir. I'm about to cry. You can talk to me. It's my mom. I always feel like
I'm not enough for her. No matter how high
my grades are, no matter how good I am, I feel like
it's still not enough. You know the feeling as if you're not the child
they dreamed of? My parents are like that to me,
Jobelle. They're very strict. But looking back,
if not for them, I wouldn't be where I am today. I can see that you are smart,
Jobelle. You're a young, beautiful woman,
inside and out. And you wouldn't be
where you are today if it weren't
for your mother's efforts. [Christian] It's okay. Sometimes, our parents
are just strict with us, but they mean well. They are the ones
who know us better. They know what's best for us. Boo? Oh, boo. Uh, Sir Christian,
this is Gerard, my boyfriend. Christian. -Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you. -Okay, I'll go ahead.
-All right, sir. Jobelle, don't forget
our one-on-one session on Saturday, okay? -Okay, sir.
-All right then. -Thank you, sir.
-Take care. One-on-one session? Uh, I need it. Because I need to know
where I need to focus more. Come on, let's eat. I'm hungry. Jobelle, your parents work
at Life Saver, right? How did you find out? Uh, one of your classmates
mentioned it. -Ah.
-I'll go ahead. -Okay.
-I'll see you tomorrow. -Okay.
-Bye, guys. [women] Bye, sir. -Thank you.
-[Christian] Take care. Girl, what's up?
Did he confess to you? No. But he knows that
my parents work at Life Saver. Come on, tell her
what you saw the other day. Listen. I saw him
in the faculty room scrolling through
your online profile. -Really?
-We have a new love team. [Jobelle]
"I admit, my heart raced then. And because of that, I started thinking about
Christian in a different way" B, open your mouth wide
while talking to the client. C, use a medium-pitched voice. D... Why? Is there something
on my face? No, sir. C, use a medium-pitched voice. C... Correct. That's right. [mobile phone beeps] -Sorry, sir.
-It's okay. [Gerard] Boo, there's a new
gaming console out. Have you seen it? It's so cool. [sighs] -Sir?
-Yes? Why did you choose to teach
instead of practicing nursing? Hm. Both teachers and nurses
serve people, but I don't know, this is where I'm happy. I feel fulfilled here. With the thought
that I'm doing my part in molding excellent, good nurses like you who will help
and heal thousands of people. I can make a difference
in lives this way. I'm content with that. [mobile phone beeps] [Gerard] Did you check it out? It's nice, isn't it?
Let's buy it, Boo. -Is everything okay?
-Yes, sir, I'm okay. -Are you sure?
-Mm-hm. [Jobelle] "I compared Gerard
to Christian at that moment. Christian, one, knows
what he wants in life. Two, responsible. Three, mature. I realized he checks
all the boxes for my ideal man." [indistinct chatter] How does it feel, bro? Did you ever think
Jobelle felt like this when you had a one-on-one
with Jessica? [Christian] Just don't forget... Boo, don't be nervous, okay?
You prepared so much for this. You got this! You can do it! -Oh, Jobelle!
-Hi, sir. Good luck. You can do it. Make our review center proud,
okay? I will. Bye, Boo. Bye, sir. Bye. Good luck, Jobelle! [Gerard] "Jobelle passed
the board exam and got into med school. I should be happy because
all our plans are coming true. But every day,
I feel her changing." I always try to put God in the center
of everything that I do. You're really good, brother. Sir Christian is amazing, right?
An ideal man. Mature, responsible, kind, and godly. The woman he'll choose
is so lucky. [Gerard] Boo, are you done
with your bible study? I'll pick you up. Let's eat. [Christian] I'm hungry.
Where do you want to eat? [man] It's up to you. I think
there's a new food hub... All right. Oh, Jobelle, Ana. We're going to eat
at the new food hub. -Come and join us.
-Where is it, sir? -Where is it, sir?
-Just nearby. Across the street. -Sir, wait.
-It's just nearby. Are you treating us? [mobile phone beeps] [Jobelle] I'm gonna eat
with my friends. We'll do it next time,
okay, Boo? [Gerard] "I tried to understand
that she's just busy with her studies
and her new world. But the truth is, I feel her
slowly slipping away from me." Did you still buy
the gaming console? Yes. You're still a child. What's wrong with that? Nothing.
There's nothing wrong with it. But we're already in med school, and yet you're still
into gaming and drinking. You're still not
taking things seriously. Just because I play games
and drink, I'm not serious? I think you're
the narrow-minded one. Why don't you
become responsible? Why don't you think
about the deeper purpose of your profession? Why aren't you like-- Like who? Like Christian? Are you comparing me to him? What's going on
between the two of you? Nothing. [mobile phone beeps] Who's that? Let me see. What is this? The first time I saw that guy,
I already knew. But I kept quiet
because I thought it was you. -You will never do this to me.
-[phone thumps] Why? Because you're sure of me? Well, I get you. When you cheated on me, you didn't hear
anything from me. Are you going to deny it? I questioned my value back then. Every time you don't reply
to my text messages, every time
you turn off your phone, and every time
I hear someone say that you're with another girl, I would say, "It's okay,
he'll come back to me anyway." But I always ask myself. Does he only love me because no matter what he does
I will accept him? No, Jobelle. I love you because I love you. Haven't I shown you that? Haven't I fixed myself
to fit your checklist? Can't I redeem myself
from my mistakes? Is that why
you're punishing me now? Yes, I'm sure about you. I'm sure you're the one I want
for the rest of my life. How about you?
Are you still sure about me? [Gerard]
I'm sure you're the one I want for the rest of my life. How about you?
Are you still sure about me? [mobile phone rings] [Gerard] Let's talk. I also texted Christian.
He agreed to meet us. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to make an appeal. I did my best
to change for Jobelle. I am trying my best. I love her. It hurts because
just when I became sure, just when I straightened up, that's when I found myself
at a disadvantage. I know I lack many things
that you have. But I'll do everything
to fight for our relationship. [Christian] Whatever it takes
to win her back. What are you doing? You don't need to say that. You don't need to beg. I love you. Gerard, it's always been you. I had no intention
of ruining what you have. I wish you both well. I love you. And because I love you, I should've told you
the truth from the start. Her name is Jessica. She was fun... at the time when I thought
I wasn't your priority. -[crying]
-But I have no excuses. I made a mistake. I was so confused. But when I knew
that I could lose you, I realized that I couldn't... I couldn't live without you. Jobelle, I love you. I regret every single day
that I hurt you. Stop saying that. I shouldn't have been a coward. I should've asked you
right away. I should've confronted you. I should've talked to you
about it when I had unresolved issues
inside me. Maybe that's the reason why
when I met Christian, who gave me attention and who is so different
from you, I forgot who I really love. I know I'm not your ideal man. I know I'm not worthy
of being chosen. But I choose you. I won't let you go. I won't let you go either. [Gerard] We've been together
for 13 years. We shared many firsts. And throughout the years, I've seen you become
a more beautiful and kind-hearted person. [Jobelle crying] [Gerard]
Let's grow old together. Let's learn
from our mistakes together. You're my inspiration to become
a better person every day. You're my first love. And you're also my last. Jobelle Fernandez,
will you marry me? Mm. Yes. [Jobelle]
Why do we love someone? At first, yes,
because they fit our checklist. But for a love to last,
it goes beyond that checklist. You love them because you learn, make mistakes,
and mature together. You love him
because you would rather live your imperfect life with him rather than
the most perfect man. [Gerard] Jobelle and I
are both doctors now. And for now, we're busy
preparing for our wedding. Our road to forever
isn't perfect, but we're committed to work hard
on our relationship and ourselves. I'm happy to be spending
the rest of my life with my first love... and my last love. With utmost respect... -Gerard...
-And Jobelle. We can't confine our love
to a checklist. As we mature, we realize
that a relationship is beautiful because it is composed
of two different and imperfect people. Two people with their own
capabilities and weaknesses. Two people who are growing because of their understanding
of each other and learning
from their mistakes. Our loved one may be
far from perfect, like us. We may not fit
each other's checklist, but we fit perfectly
into each other's hearts. This is Charo Santos
reminding us that in any time, we will still be there
for each other in every story of life. Good evening, Kapamilya. [theme song playing]
