Isn't it selfishness?
It's not selfishness to keep our boy away from his dad's fate.
No, that's not selfishness, never!
No!
Right now, my family is in Mindanao.
That's far!
Yeah.
Huh?
Yes that's far alright.
Oh, how do you feel about that -
way too far from your wife and kids?
I've gotten used to it...
Because, since this is, maybe,
my chance to serve the government and the people.
So this is just part of the sacrifice.
At least, somehow, my wife understands.
It's very rare to meet my children.
Right now, it's January since I last returned home.
Because I'm from Capiz, sir.
Presently, because some things just can't be left behind,
my wife is already worried, why does it have to,
it's only now almost 6 months before I could return home.
What's really hard, sir, if you're in the service,
is that you can't really take good care of your children, sir.
You can't monitor them while they develop,
and you don't have time for them and even to your family.
Mmm...
You can't always meet them.
For me, it's every... for the whole year, only 15 days are allowed
because of the type of work here.
How do you feel about that? Your wife?
Ah, actually, she understands.
Because before we got married I told her that's what a Ranger's life like -
that's the life of a soldier.
Duty first.
But sometimes it's also depressing
because you can only speak to your children at the phone.
I also can't keep an eye to the children's development
that time moves so fast.
But I'm still happy about my chosen profession.
Up to now, I still haven't returned home yet.
But by June, I'm planning to come home this June.
My wife said that my youngest might not recognize me at all.
Even if I'm only inside the base, 101% it's extreme!
Your mission?
I extremely miss my wife actually.
What do you do then when you miss her?
I look at her photograph in my laptop because she's my wallpaper.
