Lilet Matias, Attorney-At-Law: The aspiring lawyer is now a GRADUATE! (Full Episode 2) March 5, 2024

I just found the baby here, but she looks unconscious. Whose baby is that? And why in front of our house? - Foundling? - You found it. No one knows where she came from. Maybe she was abandoned. You and the baby have the same blood type. If she is your kid, she has the same condition your family has. She has dwarfism. It seems the woman you're looking for gave you a fake name. She didn't only give a fake name. She also left a baby. - Lilet? - That's her nickname here. That means a creature of the

night. We'll tell everyone that she's my cousin's child. Lilet Matias will be her name. Even though I'm not your mother, I'll be your auntie. I'll be your godmother, too. And as Miss Lorena said, I will be on your side. Lilet, I'm still wearing my slippers! - You're taking so long! - Coming. Be careful next time. You know you're short-legged, but you run carelessly carrying those stuff. Sorry, Ma'am Patricia. Here it is. It doesn't look good with my outfit. Just get the other pair upstairs. Lil

et, where's my doll shoes? Let me have it. Put those away. And be careful when you go upstairs, Lilet. You might fall. You're so clumsy. Yes, Ma'am. Mom. Okay, don't be late. - Dad, let's go? - Yeah. I'll follow. Have a good day. Hey. What are you waiting for? I'm late! I'm on it. We all have a place in this world. You're enough. You fit in. Is my baby ready? It seems that they forgot about my graduation today. You know them. They're so busy. But I'm sure they are proud of you. Because they supp

orted you in your studies. Try your graduation dress. I have it altered. Auntie, do you think my biological mother would be proud of me if she was still alive? May the soul of my cousin Danica Matias rest in peace. Do you think she's proud? Of course. Any mother will be proud of what you have achieved. Really? Even my father, who didn't acknowledge me? Here we go again. Will he still be ashamed of me now that I graduated... Oh, dear! The drama series won't be on air until late afternoon. Lilet,

let's not think about the people who aren't there for you. What matters is that we, who are here, love you so much. I wonder if my auntie, who absorbs all my sentiments, is also proud of me? Do you have to ask that? Of course. I'm the most proud auntie in the whole country. Get dressed. We don't want to be late for your march and speech. - Go on. - Okay. See? It fits you well. Yes, perfect. The cut is pretty. For this year's commencement speech, let's welcome our academic excellence awardee and

this year's recipient of the Lorena De Leon Achiever Award, Miss Lilet Matias. And this is our duty as teachers... to be an ally of the nation's scholars. So join me in a society that gives opportunities to everyone. Our size doesn't dictate the value and rights that we have in this world. This is for everyone who made us believe we're insignificant. We may not come from a complete or ordinary family, but it won't stop us from fulfilling our dreams. No matter the size, whether wide, narrow, big,

small, tall, or little... we all have a place in this world. You are enough. You fit in. My darling is so great! It's not a big deal, Auntie. I heard how impressed your teachers and classmates are with you. And I didn't expect that my idol Lorena would be here and applaud your speech. I know. I wonder where she is. I wish we could have a picture with her. Yes! Darling! Darling! Congratulations, dear. Darling! Miss Lorena! Lilet Matias, right? That was a very moving speech. Thank you. I've been

watching your show since I was a kid. Me and my auntie! That's true, Idol. Your show was the only thing that could stop Lilet from crying when she was a baby. I know all the laws mentioned in your show by heart. So, we have a future lawyer here. She dreamed of becoming a lawyer because of your show. That's my childhood dream. Just a childhood dream? Not anymore? Not now. It's not practical for me to study again. I'm happy that I finished my course in Education. And then take the LET and find a j

ob. So I can earn and help with the bills. Anything is possible if anyone has the courage and intelligence like yours. Give her my card. Thank you. Lilet, if you are willing to undergo the challenges of achieving your dreams, our team can help you. Can we have a picture with you? Yes, idol. Let's take a picture. Smile! - Thank you. - Thank you. Bye. She's so beautiful! Sir Ramir? Who are you calling Sir? I think I saw Sir Ramir. But maybe it's only someone who looks like him. Come on, let's go h

ome. Oh, let's eat first. And don't remove your medal, baby. You should put it on the whole night. Okay, Auntie. I already have a graduate! Come on, let's go! Is this the delivery for the auction? Yes, Ma'am. Okay. Put them in the gallery. - I will. - Ask Ces and Lilet to help you. They're not here, Ma'am. Why? Is it their day off? It's Lilet's graduation day. Is that today? Why does it have to be today? What took you so long? Does the graduation ceremony take that long for you to come home late

? We ate out, Ma'am. I'm sorry. So, you really spent your time out while Shiela was working alone here. We asked for this leave a long time ago. You asked for it? Why did Ces ask for a leave, too? Is she also a graduate? Aunt Ces doesn't take a leave often. And she didn't use a lot of her days off so she could serve you. Even though it's her right. Right? What are you watching lately? It's the Kasambahay Law, Section 21. A domestic worker shall be entitled to at least 24 consecutive hours of res

t in a week. The employer and the domestic worker shall agree in writing on the weekly scheduled rest day of the domestic worker. That's it. Wait. Shall agree in writing. I haven't read any written agreement or signed it. Me. Sorry. I let Ces take a leave. She asked for permission last month. Fine. Go back to your work. And make sure you'll put everything in the art gallery. - Okay. - Okay, Ma'am. Please understand her. Happy graduation, Lilet. Thank you. Thank you, Sir. You should've updated me

so I wouldn't get embarrassed in front of our maids. Don't get mad. It's not as if they're doing anything wrong. I was going to let it slide. But Lilet talked about the laws as if I didn't know them. This is what we get, especially when we give them education. They grow fangs. Biting the hand that feeds them. So ungrateful! I asked all of you to come because I've graduated! Hey! Ma'am Patricia might hear you. She will find a reason to give us an earful again. Did I talk back too much earlier? Y

eah, a bit. But you only told the truth and our rights. Ma'am Patricia is so grumpy. She often seems so mad at me. And you talked back to her. We know our rights. Let's just show them that we can do better at work. Okay. I'm glad Sir Ramir was there. He somehow calmed Ma'am Patricia down. Sir Ramir has been so understanding and appreciative of us ever since. My co-board members will be here tomorrow. They're going to check the artwork for the auction. It's already dark. Did Trixie tell you she'd

be home late? Yes, the driver has texted me already. They're on their way home from school. Excuse me. I made it to celebrate my graduation. I used my savings to buy that. Really? And this, too. This is my way to thank you for taking me in and sending me to school. I wouldn't achieve it without your help. You really didn't have to. What are we going to do with that? You know what? We're so proud of you. Right, Patricia? Congratulations. Finally, we already have a graduate. Thank you. I'm glad y

ou know how to show gratitude. And I hope that even though you have already graduated, you won't forget everything we did for you. I won't. I still have to take the LET. And I want to continue serving you until I find a new job. Oh my gosh! Mom! Dad! I know. I'm so sorry. I'm so late for dinner. I'm so sorry. Our drama club at school did a recasting. And our lead got sick. So, guess who's the next Snow White? - Congratulations, Trixie! - Thanks, Mom! Trixie, instead of extra-curricular activitie

s, you should focus on your academics. You can ask Lilet to tutor you. She has already graduated. Lilet, can you please wash my costume? Super thanks! Shiela, can you give us an extra plate? For Trixie, please. Please set it for her. - Thank you. - I'm so excited, Dad! It's my dream to become Snow White. Finally! And please put this in the fridge. It's too sweet for me. Oh my gosh. Let me go! I have a right to that house! It's our house and land, too! I'm also a Montenegro, whether you like it o

r not! And what's your proof? Nothing! And you think you can easily take everything away from us? I'm just taking back what's mine! You will never be a Montenegro. - Let me go! - Arrest that woman! Hurry! Let me go! Here. It said it was yours. What? You will take the baby so I can be with her? But, of course, Ma'am Patricia won't believe it's mine. I can't just have a daughter. We will make it appear that she's my cousin's daughter. And her friend will help us fix the documents. What now? Next o

n Hiling ng Puso... Hiling ng Puso has aired already? Yes. Julieta promised that she would take revenge against the Montenegros for oppressing her. - Really? - Yes. How was your trip? Were you able to send money to your sibling? Yes. Just a little more, we can finally own the land we're renting. What are you doing with Trixie's dress? You're probably imagining wearing that gown. I know it won't fit me. It just makes me wonder. How does it feel to fit in that size of dress and shoes? How does it

feel to be like Trixie? Lilet... Auntie, I accept it. It only makes me wonder. How does it feel to be beautiful, tall, and admired? Are you Julieta? Do you also dream of being looked up to? You're not getting oppressed, and being thrown in the mud. Julieta has been deprived, too. She's poor, has no parents, and is unlucky. She's unlike the villains in Hiling na Puso. And Trixie, who seems to have everything. Why darling? Is the love I'm giving you not enough? No, Auntie. That's not what I meant.

You're giving me more than you should. I have an aunt and godmother in you. Two in one. But... But what? I feel that something's missing. Darling... Don't ever say you're lacking. That's what I feel. No matter the persistence and eagerness I still feel I'm not enough. Maybe because I don't have a family. I don't have someone to call Mom and Dad. I've told you many times already, haven't I? You don't have to be blood-related to be called a family. You can be distant relatives, or sometimes you'r

e not even related. Sometimes, you can find a family. It can be found. So don't say you're not enough, okay? As Miss Lorena says... and what you said in your speech... You have a right in this world! Dear, I hope my love for you is enough to fill the love you think you're lacking. You made me cry. It's Julieta's fault. Trixie, here's your costume. Oh, you're already sleeping. Good night. Good night, Trixie. Trixie! I'm sorry. Sorry for what? Sorry if I'm picking on Lilet these days. She's been t

alking back and grabbing attention lately. Look. She has done nothing but to serve and help us. I know. I can't explain why she's become one of my pet peeves ever since. Why? I don't know. That's why it's called pet peeve, right? But you know what irritates me? You often compare Lilet to our daughter Trixie. What do you mean? Focus on your academics like Lilet. You can ask Lilet to tutor you. Please. The least you could do is not call out our daughter in front of our maids and the outsiders! And

don't you ever compare Lilet to Trixie ever again! As long as we're together, justice is within reach. Is scholarship the only thing Miss Lorena can give me? Maybe she can also give me a job. Why are you so eager to find a new job? - You let your mom hurt me! - I had no choice! So that's why you let me get harmed instead of yourself? - You're selfish! - I said shut up! Just tell the truth, Trixie! What? Is she also your daughter? That's why you don't know whose side you're on? Yes!
