Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

Such a fool like me

For once I was lost, now I'm found

Amazing, amazing grace

It's my eldest son, Dave and Hoya Luis.

You want to be a scientist or you want to be...

You want to be a scientist.

No, I want to be a civil engineer.

Oh, civil engineer. Okay.

When I was sleeping.

It's raining.

They are starting to

have skin.

Yes.

Stephen,

this is your

third day of sleeping.

Yes.

I'm just wondering how

many years you don't sleep

good.

Since my

girlfriend got killed here, I don't sleep much at all.

You can take a rest now, brother.

Thank you.

See you later, brother.

Okay, thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Love you, brother Stephen.

Alright, love you too.

You take care.

Love you more.

Thank you, brother.

God loves you.

I know.

Don't forget that.

I never do.

So I will turn off the light.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Later, you will take a bath.

Sir Stephen,

What happened?

I bought you something.

Fantastic.

Cornflakes.

You're welcome.

And then I bought you also fresh milk.

Yes.

Very good.

I like this one.

You can take a snack now.

Thank you.

No need to put...

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

And then I bought you a banana.

I don't know if this banana is ripe or not.

Can you try?

Yes, sir.

Don't touch that.

Yes.

Is it good?

Yes.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So you can take a snack.

What snack, sir?

Tell me more about the thought.

What is behind it?

I also bought you Milo.

Yes, I love Milo.

You're welcome, sir.

Thank you.

And then I will just put it here.

What do you want now?

Cereal?

Can I...

Yes, please.

Can I have some Milo and my fresh milk?

Yes.

And also, I bought...

Raisins.

Yes, raisins and Lipton.

And then honey, additional honey.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome, dear.

So now, what food do you want me to make?

I was going to make some chocolate milk and then cereal is fine, cornflakes.

Okay.

I will get cereal.

Yes, please.

I will clean.

Yes, please.

Yes.

It's really nose bleeding.

Sorry.

Sorry, brother.

What happened?

Did you pee?

No, I just changed my clothes.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Nothing.

Do you want me to make you...

Milo?

Yes, please.

Okay.

I was going to mix it with the fresh milk.

Oh, you put it there?

Yeah, I mix it with it.

Mix like the chocolate.

Okay.

Chocolate milk.

I will...

I will heat water.

Okay.

Do you know...

Do you sing?

Sing?

Yeah.

Can you sing while I'm there?

Okay.

For the kids.

Okay.

Okay.

You're insecure

Don't know what for

You're turning heads

As you walk through the door

Don't need makeup

To cover up

Being the way that you are

Is enough

Everyone else in the room

Can see it

Everyone else but you

Baby, you light up my world

Like nobody else

The way that you touch my ass

Makes me something else

You don't know you're beautiful

That's what makes you beautiful

Thank you for your hospital.

Would you like some cookies?

Kids want cookies?

No, you can eat some cookies.

I've had too many.

What's your name?

Steven.

Steven?

Steve.

Steven, yeah.

Where you come from?

USA.

USA, where in the US?

Place called Oklahoma.

Oklahoma?

It comes just close to Texas.

Yeah.

South Central.

I'm from Washington State.

Oh, good stuff.

I'm from California.

I lived in Los Angeles area for about half my life, 20 years.

It's like you live in the Midwest.

But I lived in Los Angeles too.

Where in Los Angeles?

About half the time.

Los Angeles area.

So how long have you been here in the Philippines?

Three and a half years.

Three and a half years?

Where did you stay?

Angeles, yeah.

Angeles?

Out of the city, yeah.

Do you have a family?

Not here in the Philippines, but back in the US.

How long are you going to be here in the Philippines?

Maybe a long time.

I'm not sure right now.

Are you a resident or you have a wife, family here in the Philippines?

Well, I had a girlfriend, but she got killed.

So I have some problems.

Problems with some gangsters.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

So what happened?

You got separated with her?

Well, no, no.

They killed her.

Where did you meet her?

I met her in Angeles.

She worked there in the city?

She appeared to be a freelancer.

I just saw her on the street.

I asked her if she wanted to come over for a drink or something.

Steven, how old are you?

Fifty-five.

So you still have your own family in the US?

Yes, I do, yeah.

Mother and father?

No, they passed away, yeah.

Brother, siblings?

Yes.

So did they know that you're here in the Philippines?

Yes, they know.

You still have communication with them?

Yes, yeah.

You meet my daughter and my son.

That's my youngest.

Yeah, I told him that I came from Washington State.

I'm from Oklahoma.

Yeah, which city?

Me either.

Which place in Washington?

Washington State.

In Arlington.

Arlington?

Yes.

So, where is your family?

Are they all in Oklahoma?

No, no, no.

I have a brother and he's in Maryland.

Bethesda, Maryland.

I have a sister, she's in Oklahoma.

And another brother.

But you have a wife and kids in the US?

I mean, I'm not proud to say.

I was, you know, married and divorced three times.

No, actually four times.

My father's side, I have a Jewish background.

My mother's side is Christian.

So, I went to Israel to see what the Jewish side meant to me.

So, I met a girl.

She's a Christian.

So, I went to Israel to see what the Jewish side meant to me.

So, I met a girl and I lived in Israel while she was doing her military service.

In Israel?

Right.

So, I got married in Israel to my first wife.

She's Israeli.

We have a daughter.

She's 28 years old right now.

So, she lives in Israel.

So, you still have a communication with your kids?

Yes.

Yeah, yeah.

She's like, you know, very smart, beautiful.

She does modeling.

She works for Intel.

She got a full scholarship for mechanical engineering.

Yeah.

Very smart.

What about in the US?

Do you have any children there?

Yes, I do.

I have two daughters in California.

So, they're with the mothers from China, Chinese mom.

Okay.

They're 15 and 17 years old.

Do you keep in touch with your children in the US?

I keep in touch with their mother.

So, I'm in contact with their mom pretty often.

So, how did you live in Anglicity?

Do you have a job or something?

No, I have an inheritance.

I built a family business with my father.

How did you manage to live without your own house or something?

No, I had an apartment.

Okay.

But, daddy went, a big drug dealer.

Okay.

He had, you know, my girl, his ex, dropped the keys out the window.

And, this is at the time, I had my vault key on there

and I couldn't store any of my valuables like my passport or anything

because I couldn't get a replacement key.

So, you're lucky that they didn't keep your passport.

No, they stole my passport now.

Yeah.

So, they're using my passport.

They have your passport?

Yes, they've had it for a long time.

And so, this is the reason I can't leave.

So, it means you don't have your passport with you?

No.

No, how did you?

They stole it.

Yeah.

They told their ex-girlfriend,

you arrested us, you're gonna pay us back.

You find a way.

So, she found me.

That would be difficult to get a passport.

And, she helped them steal my passport so they could use it

and move drug money back and forth from country to country.

You can go to the U.S. Embassy and tell them that,

let's say, somebody stole your passport.

Well, let me tell you this.

I've tried to make it to the bus station three times

and I can't get to the bus station without the baklas

and, you know, driving in police cars

stopping me from walking to the bus station.

If I can't make it to Manila,

I can't get a replacement passport.

If you can go to the U.S. Embassy

and report about your passport,

are you willing to do that?

Of course.

But, I still have to make it there.

Yes.

I've already told to the U.S. Embassy.

Yeah.

Maybe this week.

Yes.

We can go to the U.S. Embassy.

Because, if you get a new passport,

they cannot use your old passport

because they will block your old passport.

Well, that's why they don't allow you to go to the U.S. Embassy.

That's why they don't want me to do that.

That's why they don't want me to...

If I get a new passport, that means, you know...

Well, it means you've been overstaying here already.

No, it means they've been using my social security number,

my identity to transfer millions of dollars

and drug money back and forth from here.

Did you report that to social security?

I can't report to anybody.

Oh, my.

I have...

I've been to the Station 4, which is in our place.

You know that...

They won't even listen to me.

They just tell me, go, get out of here.

Well, I think it's the best you have to go personally

at the U.S. Embassy,

and then they will report to social security administration

about your social security.

And how long...

How long since the last time you have your passport?

Probably two years or something.

Two years?

And nobody even helping you?

Nobody nice people helping you?

Did you meet anybody else?

Oh, I met, you know, some people, yeah.

Some people.

I met some, you know, guys from the PNP.

They've come in from out of town.

They've offered to help.

Okay.

What they do?

The local baron guy, they've offered to help, you know.

Yeah.

There's a lot of people that are offering.

It's just, uh...

Well, the most important thing,

you have to report to U.S. Embassy,

and then they're the one who claim whatever you lost

and everything.

And whatever problem, health problem you have,

and they're the one who's gonna help you.

So, for a meantime, you have to stay here for a while

until snap, you will find out how...

Okay, the last incident I had was,

I had a tourist police along with a commander from Station 4.

Okay.

I was on the street at a cell phone shop.

They came up and they says,

Hey, you have some wounds on your legs.

Come, we're going to get you medical treatment.

I said, I'm okay, I can take care of it.

And they said, No, you come with us now.

So, they forced me to go to the tourist police office

and they locked me up.

And they didn't charge me with anything.

And they kept me in there,

and the dirt and waste and dog poop and everything else.

And they wouldn't release me.

Yeah, I think that's the best way to do is,

you know, contact U.S. Embassy

and you tell them what happened to you,

your passport is important,

and your social security number.

You said you don't have any clothes or anything while they find you?

Oh, I get clothes, you know.

There's people who are kind.

They give me clothes all the time.

I can get pretty much whatever I need.

That's sad.

Well, it is sad.

A lot of people, they're rid of, you know,

especially in a poor country, in Europe or America,

you lost whatever happened that's important for you.

Yes.

The most important is your passport and your social security number.

Yes, I agree.

If anybody can have those, it's my God.

They're taking all your life.

What should we do?

What should we do?

Just wait until, you know,

the important is to go to the U.S. Embassy,

and then they interview him and what happened.

What should we do?

Yeah, I mean,

I say the first step is you get the documents that are necessary.

You go to an attorney, you find a notary,

you get an affidavit of loss on the passport.

That's the document.

And then you set up an appointment on the Internet.

Did you know that they're always saying that

the most important that you never lost is your social security?

The passport, they can always change a new one.

But social security is the one when you lost it.

All your life is right there.

Everything.

Whatever money you're getting from social security,

somebody else, they can use it.

It's just a fake name.

That's why I have to be careful on mine.

It's very, you know, there's only been very few cases

where they issue a new social security number.

How many times have you been here in the Philippines?

One time.

This is the first time you travel in the Philippines?

Yeah, I've been, you know, many other countries.

I've been to Russia, I've been to China, I've been to Israel.

So when is the last time you went to Israel?

Oh...

Probably about...

maybe five years ago, something like that.

Five years ago.

Where were you born?

I was born in the USA.

Okay, so you're a U.S. citizen.

But, you know, from the laws in Israel,

it's like any person with some Jewish heritage around the world,

they become automatic citizens.

So I have citizenship in Israel as well as the USA.

So you're to document being U.S. citizens

and being Israeli citizens.

Yeah.

But most important, U.S. citizens.

Yeah.

So, yeah, that is the most important,

that you can contact the U.S. Embassy and they can...

But I don't, you know, like I said, I don't carry the...

You know, the problems with Israel, it's like, you know,

there's many places you can't travel if you have, like, Israeli passport.

I think Israel, it's so difficult to go in right now.

It's my eldest son.

Dave and the...

Kuya Luis.

Yeah, so, you know, my brother, he's graduated law school,

like the best school in the USA.

He's a tax attorney. He deals with...

He deals with international law.

Bachelor of science.

So what do you want to do with your bachelor of science?

You want to be a scientist or you want to be...

Oh, civil engineer. Okay.

You will work on, like, big projects, bridges, things like this,

or buildings, tall buildings.

Okay.

Civil engineering covers, like, many, many things, you know.

It's like, in the U.S., it's...

Highways to tall buildings to bridges, you know, anything.

In the U.S.?

Well, you know...

I was a graphic artist when I was a child.

I was very good at drawing.

So I started, like, in printed apparel.

I did, like, you know, printing on T-shirts.

Yeah, so I did that for many years, and then that's...

Then I got, you know, tired.

I went to Israel, and I spent time there.

Then I came back...

Yeah, well, I had my own company. I did printing, too.

I did designing and printing on shirts.

Right.

So I did both the design and the printing.

Well...

My dad is a foreigner.

Oh, usually, I'll have...

The beard of Philippines, see?

That's me, handsome.

Yeah.

Baby, tomorrow, you can meet all my family.

Okay.

From my dad and mom, and then my cousins.

Great.

They want to meet you.

All right.

Yeah, I'd love to meet them, too.

Yeah.

Stephen?

Yes?

Do you know how to dance?

Yes, of course.

Because tomorrow, we will dance, okay?

Okay.

I love...

I love the way you sing the...

What song is it?

Amazing Grace.

Amazing Grace.

Can I hear it now?

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.

Such a fool like me.

Yeah, it's like...

You have a nice voice.

Yeah.

You have a nice voice.

Thank you.

Well, you know, I...

I taught myself...

Do you know how to play guitar?

Yes, I taught myself guitar.

Yeah, a long time.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, let's do jamming like this.

Yeah, okay.

I play drums, I play guitar.

I do everything.

How about piano?

I do some piano, too.

So, enjoy.

Just relax.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, you know, I'm...

Well, I'm blessed.

I just, you know, hopefully it's smooth

and I can get a replacement passport.

Yeah, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

All right, God bless.

Thank you, ma'am.

Nice to meet you as well.

Thank you.

So, how do you feel right now?

Yeah, fine.

More better?

Yeah.

Okay, thank you, Lord.

Yeah.

That's what I want.

That's right.

To get you more better and get strong.

I'm sorry about my English, Kuya.

No, don't worry about it.

But I'm trying my best to help you

and to communicate to you.

You want to take a rest now?

Yes, please.

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

I'm happy that you're getting better.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome, Kuya.

If you need something else,

you can ask someone

and then I will go to you.

Okay?

Okay.

Good night to you.

Love you, Kuya.
