Is it currently, ma'am? Before, ma'am, someone sent a concerned citizen. Are you and your husband still okay? No more what? No, not anymore. How many years have you been married, ma'am? Almost 25. 25 years. Almost 25 years. It's been a while, isn't it? What is your husband's job, ma'am? What is his name? Ah, his name is Catalino, but he's better known as Jonix. John Jonix. Okay. And what is that job, ma'am? Currently a glass installer, but when we met, we were taxi drivers. Okay. So for the past 25 years ma'am so far ma'am the relationship is like Rocky Road ma'am. Sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's not. It seems like that if we can

summarize. So, but you're still leaving ma'am under one house? Yes. Until now? Yes, sir. Ma'am, based on what you're saying, what do you want to happen here, ma'am? Get married, ma'am. By the way, ma'am, do you know who that hooker is? No, I have no idea. I haven't seen it even once. So Mr. is good at hiding. As in. Did you just find out now that he has a girlfriend, ma'am? Before, ma'am, it seems like you had a hunch that Mr. New? The truth is, maybe 2 years after our marriage or 3 years, there were rumors that there was a woman who was a taxi driver. But that's just hearsay. Mr. has reached me. Hey, man. I said, "Show me evidence, even pictures or anything. As long as I know or believe what

you're saying. But that's just saying nothing. Even my husband himself sometimes relays a story like this. There was a woman when he was still a taxi driver. Mm. He himself tells me that a woman got on his bike and suddenly kissed her. That was a joke because he was joking when he talked to me or relayed messages like that since he was a taxi driver. So I didn't really believe it every time he told me that. So I said, I just said that. I always tell him that if you have a woman, it's your choice. But don't leave any evidence. If you have evidence, I will really apologize to you for the decision I make, I will never forgive you,

you will really get the consequences for what you do. I said, "I did everything as a wife, as a mother, I did everything. But if it's me, give me at least a little evidence. I saw it with my own eyes. We know, ma'am, it's really quite painful, ma'am, when you're cheated on and you imagine that you've loved him, ma'am, for 25 years. So that really hurts, ma'am. When did you receive the news from Concern City that Mr. yours? March 8, please. March 8. So you confronted him immediately? Not yet. What is the only question that is not serious? It seems that the same is true of humor, ma'am, because you will also go through Mr.'s humor. your humor. Mm. Okay. So

when you confronted him, he still didn't admit it? Absolutely not. Okay. Why did you guys still talk in April? So until then, ma'am, nothing has been admitted. He admitted something to me in the text. He didn't admit to me that he had a wife but he told me, "Okay, I can tell you now that you can find a man who can be your husband." Ah, husband or husband, it seems like that. Okay. Have you ever climbed anything in this barangay? Have you ever complained? I don't have any, but he has a lot. He complained to me three times. He/She will complain to you. Okay. Why? Ah, the first one is on our property because we have a boarding house, Okay. Sir Catalino La Peñas, good afternoon to you. Your wife is here,

ma'am Sarah. That's really bad, sir. It's a bit serious, sir, because you cheated on her, sir, for a woman, sir. Who is this, sir, your new girlfriend? Sir, nothing, sir. Oh, sir, I know that your specialty is your sense of humor because your style of telling stories to ma'am was when you were a taxi driver and your passengers kissed you. You're a bit lucky as a taxi driver because not all passengers kiss you. But nevertheless, sir, there are pictures that someone gave to Ma'am Sarah. And there you are, sir, you were shown with a woman at the resort, you were at the restaurant, what is this, sir, she's just your friend, sir, she's nothing, she's nothing, sir,

this is it, so these are just your friends, sir, she's just your friend, yes, sir, she just took a picture, okay, how old is this woman, sir, she's still young, about 20 plus, she's still pretty young, yes, sir, yes, sir, is this, sir, ma'am, is this your name right? Yes, sir, if it's the one in the picture she's posting, sir, that's it, sir. Oh okay. So ma'am Reya looks like she's 21 years old. Sir, what is Ma'am Reya's job? That student is probably him now, sir. Student? Okay. So you're a bit of an artist, aren't you, sir? Because imagine, sir, you are 47 and then this is M 21. But there are a lot of pictures, sir.

The place is different, sir. So, are you close to this, sir? Whatever that is, sir, it's a trip, then there are many places that you took pictures of. Actually, sir, it's strange, sir, because we've already noticed that, sir, imagine, sir, if you said you do n't have a relationship, imagine that you're going on a trip, you're going to treat her to food, why don't you just take your wife on a trip and then treat her to food, sir, why is that ma'am, the one you took on a trip, that's the biggest problem, sir, because every now and then, she's been causing problems for us. His first issue with me was that I was a narcissistic person, and I did things to him that hurt, like I was being abused, like I was being forced to do things with my hands

. That's what he complained about, he sued me. He will file a complaint. My answer to him was, "Sir, if you feel like I'm doing that to you, that's fine. File a lawsuit or you'll get sued." But the truth is, sir, I'm the one who's doing all that . I'm being beaten with a pipe. Even if you ask our little children there, they won't lie, sir. Even if you ask the children. It's true, sir, that our elders were evicted from their homes because of him. I left home because of him because he said if I follow his rules, I'll leave home. So our grown children left home because of him. Okay. If there is evidence of what he is doing to me, making me carry him and beating him with a pipe.

I'm just doing what I'm doing, I'm just avoiding him sometimes when he punches me, what should I call him in Tagalog if in Visaya I'll say "ah" in English I'll wave. Sometimes his hand hit the wall of our house. And then what he does is leave, go to the police, get medical attention. While I'm the one with a bleeding face. Okay, sir Catalino, sir, I would like to confirm, sir. So, sir, you never hurt Ma'am Sarah or hurt her. Okay, sir. So for the duration of 25 years, he always vlogs whenever there was even a commotion there. Oh, he was making a video, so I told him if it's true, go ahead and release the video, I'm the one. Sir Katalino, sir, we have confirmed that you and ma'am Sarah have been married for 25 years.

Yes, mom. Yes, sir. But 25 years until now, sir, our lives are in chaos. Okay, sir. For the 25 years, sir? What was Ma'am Sar's previous job? No, sir. So basically sir she's like a princess to you no? You're the only one who cares, sir. Yes, sir. We used to be together, sir, but we fought a lot. I used to talk to him because I was confused before we got married. He's talking to me when I look at him sometimes, he's awake. I approached him and asked him what our problem was. Why are we in such a mess? Mm. Oh, have I done something wrong to you that I don't know about or am I lacking something?

I just wish, I just wish he would admit to me that she's really his girl and just say he's sorry to me. But since March 8 until now, that's all he's told me in the text, that you can find a man you can trade me for because I'm immoral and there's nothing to see in him with even the slightest bit of remorse, remorse, nothing, nothing, okay. Ah, he's just a fan. A friend who wanted to take a picture, that's all. Okay, ma'am Sarah. So, it doesn't matter, ma'am, if you say sorry, if Sir Catalino admits it and apologizes, you'll quit, right? I want him to apologize. I wanted to break it, but it seems like he can't do that. If you're patient, that's okay, sir. There's no problem with me. The truth is, my trade with him, even with everything I've been through

with him, emotionally, mentally, and especially physically, I never once thought of him as my opponent. Ma'am, isn't Sir Catalino hurting you? Nothing. It doesn't hurt physically, nothing. I'm here, what is my physical medical certification that there was a physical attack on me? What did they do to you, ma'am? He squeezed my hand. He really squeezed it until what is it called? It's like being banned. Ah, it's like he sprinted, passed or stiffened, like that. Is there a bin holding like that? Yes.

Until then, I'll give you some advice. This is the scenario, ma'am, if you really want to sue Sir Catalino. What happens then is, of course, he could go to jail if there is evidence. Okay. Now you said you currently don't have a job, so what about your children? That's no issue for me. I can afford to raise my three children without the support of my own children. No, I can't boast, but I can raise my three children without support. That intelligence can only be imprisoned . So that means, ma'am, you have sources of income. So it's okay if you can financially afford it. Okay, okay, ma'am, that's it. Do you still love this, sir? Not anymore. Okay. So no more. So it's over. Okay, ma'am. My only advice, ma'am, is that

maybe we can first file this in your barangay, ma'am, so that we can really get it resolved, so that they can call you and talk to you. And from there, if you don't settle, then continue with the legal proceedings, that is, file the case, sir, we are from the barangay here in Banyak, the barangay has already closed our case, they said if you want to file a lawsuit, file a lawsuit, file a lawsuit. Because here in the barangay, what we really like is amicable settlement. And then Bagkos, ma'am, what does the settlement want and then I also told them that if I were you, sir, I really don't want to because I will die early from what he makes me do and then the only thing I really do in the barangay is what I would have done to

my children because the children are traumatized because of what he makes me do, I just avoid him. Honestly, if it weren't for my three children, I would have left home and never come back, but our children are there. So basically, sir, you said, sir, no matter how much you hurt me, sir, ma'am, it seems like he always hurts you, sir, always, even if he avoids me, even in front of his cousins, in front of his uncle, he does it. I will just get some clothes because it's too hot. I will also bring his two cousins and then his aunt's husband so I can just get some clothes because I haven't had anything to wear for two days. So I'll just get some clothes when I get there. Ma'am Sara, is there a time when

you hurt Sir? There are times when you hurt him. I really hurt him because I just want him to never go home again, but it's like he's innocent if he can go home as if nothing happened. And what's the pain? It feels like I really want to beat him up. Oh, ma'am, ma'am, let's restrain our intrusive thoughts like that, ma'am, because it's dangerous, ma'am, did you say, ma'am, he's attached to you now, ma'am, you're the one who has to fight him with psychological violence. But ma'am, our intrusive thoughts, ma'am, no, we allowed him to win, ma'am, maybe he will sue you for physical injury. So if it's me, ma'am, please, ma'am, there's nothing physical, please don't hurt sir. Yes. I understand that, sir. That's it, I controlled my emotions, but

I'm the one who will lose, you know what I did, I'll avoid it, do you also want counseling? I like that. Okay. We are really ma'am, ma'am, if you want to get counseling, marriage counseling as a couple, right? Yes. But marriage counseling but not to the extent that we have a settlement. I really don't want to settle. Yes. Okay, ma'am. Okay, ma'am, no, okay, you don't need to live together or anything, but just co-parent with your children to help each other, even if you're no longer together as husband and wife, because if you're not together, it's okay, but at least it's peaceful coexistence, ma'am, co-parenting, yes, I don't think that we can both achieve that, because that's what I said, this Catalin is a narcissist, that's why I want

us both to undergo a psychiatrist's examination. Okay. This is how it is, ma'am, you told the psychiatrist that you had results, and they said that yours was adaptive behavior. As for the sir, he tested negative for any problem. Actually, whether it's private or public, ma'am, it's actually authoritative because if he says he doesn't have a mental problem, ma'am, that means he doesn't have one because usually doctors won't lie, otherwise, ma'am, they will be subject, ma'am, to the case, what they did. M so basically ma'am, based on what you said, sir doesn't have a mental problem or any problem okay so that's all ma'am, we can actually say that ma'am, both of you, ma'am, because we heard sir and you confirmed that you hurt

him, I guess it's not wise ma'am, you two should sue because you don't win, you lose, you lose, your child is poor, but what if ma'am, peaceful coexistence, you don't have to live together, you can live separately, but it's only for the sake of your child, ma'am, the help you give for your child, just be peaceful, ma'am. Don't stay together to avoid fighting. I don't think so. We approached you in the barangay, ma'am. Now, ma'am, this is your last chance. So you can talk face to face. If it's really not irreconcilable anymore then well you're free, ma'am, if you really want to continue the case against him. And the same thing with Sir Catalino, if he wants to sue you for the harm you have done to him, it depends on him. But hopefully, ma'am, we, ma'am, want

you to be peaceful, may your family be okay. So hopefully you will be okay in the barangay. Ma'am, ma'am, and I will coordinate with you what is possible in your barangay, ma'am. Let's face each other, ma'am, and hopefully, ma'am, your conversation will go well. Maybe we can just lower our pride. Sir Catalino, sir, this is my, this is our advice to you and ma'am Sara. Perhaps you can lower your pride and just talk to me thoroughly. If you have any grievances, just admit what the fault is. I apologize and hopefully it won't reach this point so your children don't have to suffer. That's all we can advise. Hopefully, you will be okay even if you don't leave together, but at least for the sake of your child in peaceful coexistence.

Ma'am Marites Delphine, ma'am, good afternoon. Yes, sir. Good afternoon, sir. Yes, ma'am, Marites. Ma'am, we are close to that, ma'am, ma'am Sarah La Peñas and Sir Catalino Lape. Maybe we can schedule a meeting for them to meet. And maybe this time ma'am no, they can talk to each other and hopefully they can reconcile and settle their differences because they are not here anymore, actually sir, that's already banned, they have undergone a conference last time, what is there, ah, just wait, last year 2025, okay, then they didn't settle, no, but ma'am, this time ma'am, maybe they will give you a try, ma'am, because the upon hearing is the one that will be pitiful, because the child, ma'am, will have to learn to get

married. So just give it a try, ma'am. So, ma'am, we'll just coordinate with you there so they can be summoned. Okay, okay. Okay, sir. Thank you very much, ma'am Marites Delphin. Ma'am Sarah praying for the best ma'am. Hopefully it can be settled in a peaceful manner. And Sir Catalino, the same goes for you, sir. Hopefully, we can settle this, sir, but it's just a peaceful settlement, sir. Okay. Yes, sir. Okay, sir. Thank you, ma'am. We will join you and talk to you in the other studio. Okay. Yes. And we will also cover your fare to Davao, ma'am.

Yes. Thank you. Very well. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Thank you very much, ma'am. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, ma'am. Um, let's talk to you in the other studio. Thank you very much, ma'am. Good afternoon, sir.
