  • A Filipino boy to meet his mother after 17 years when she went to earn money. Filipino mom remarried in South Korea and had four younger siblings. Now, the first son is settling down in Korea with his mom, and the path to being a good brother and a good son is a strange one, but it's worth it.

    It's so sad. Seems like the mom finally brought her eldest son to Korea because her husband was getting old and sick and wasn't able to do the farm job, so they needed a helping hand of somebody older than her younger kids. Younger siblings seem to be very distant from mother's side of the family. I hope that Earl John will succeed in the future and didn't end up being a Cinderella brother working hard to make youngsters be able to go to college. From what I read form the comments, it appears to be very Filipino thing to do.

    I really feel sad that it seems like the mom brought her son to Korea because the adults in the family are getting old. I’m Filipino and this is one of our toxic traits, most (usually in poorer households) of the time Filipino parents see their kids as investments that would pull them out of poverty. I wish the best for Earl John, he really deserves success.

      Maybe she wanted to but couldn't bring him until her husband grew frail and needed help.

His mom will be so proud of him too.

Seriously majority of his life he was raised by his grandma so she cant take any credit for how good of a son he is.

      They should establish clear boundaries. They can't put all the pressure on the eldest son to parentify his siblings and even his parents and do all the work and just attend school so he can help them. There is a chance that he will become a people-pleaser or self-neglect because he has to prioritize other needs before recognizing his own. His siblings are too spoiled and only care about make-up and computer games. I understand that they are teenagers but they don't seem to care. It's a bit unfair that it seems that the eldest brother does all the work; I hope they distribute the household chores at least equally. It seems that his siblings are too spoiled and do not help much with household chores. The eldest son carries all the pressure and responsibilities, and it will really have an impact in his adult years. There is nothing wrong with helping his family, but at such a young age, it is also important to let him live his life. The mother abandoned her son to go abroad and marry for almost 17 years. He was raised by his grandmother, and then her mother took him again because his husband was getting older so that he could help on the farm and look after his siblings. There is no doubt that he is a good son, but I don't think the mother is fair. The son is too kind for them. The mother should be the one to glue the different cultures together. The son should not be the only one to make an effort. There are some parents who do not care about the wellbeing of their children, especially those who are responsible, because they think they can live without their help. It was normal for them to abandon the child because they think the responsible child will understand it, but they don't understand that childhood years have a great impact on the child's adult years. I've seen a lot of adult children who are battling mental health issues such as depression, PTSD, and so on. Some reasons are because of immature, unavailable, and avoidant parents, or parentification, being pressured to do the adult responsibility, or be a primary caregiver of the whole family or sometimes it's the environment. Establishing boundaries forms healthy relationships because it recognizes the importance of one's needs and life. It validates that a person's feelings are validated and that person is being loved or cared for.

I hope his siblings and family appreciate his hard work. He seems like the type of person who will do anything for his family and really cares for them, and the type who will put himself and his priorities last so he can help. I hope he achieves his dreams

      @@j134679 It's a common Asian culture, I guess, that becomes normalized even when it becomes unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with helping his family or siblings, but it's important not to neglect and meet your needs, such as self-care, prioritizing your mental welfare, your personal growth, what makes you happy or fulfilled, and so on. A lot of eldest children parentify their parents and siblings, or they take over the role of a parent, and they forget that they are children as well, and once they become adults, it will affect them. The outcome of the impact depends on the person's upbringing and how he or she was treated in his or her home. There is a chance of self-abandonment or self-neglect when the person needs to put others before himself, which becomes an unhealthy habit and makes them forget that they also have a life to live. As the adult child becomes older, the impact will be on her or his self-esteem. For example, when that person is used to being the primary caregiver of the family and is no longer needed, that person might feel that he or she is no longer valuable. The relationship becomes conditional between his or her loved ones, and his or her worth is based only on what he or she can give or sacrifice. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with helping your family, and that is something to be proud of, but it's important to recognize that you don't need to carry everything as you also need other help and that you also have personal dreams to pursue and the life you want to live. So it's important to recognize balance and equality

      @@klaudinegarcia8932 Sorry to hear that. I think most cultures have different generational traumas and cycles that they carry and pass on to their children, and it's really important to break the cycle. It's good to hear that you are doing therapy because I personally think that it's best to heal first. A lot of parents were wounded by their previous generation, were not able to heal from it, and passed it on to their children. A child cannot be the primary caregiver or parentify his or her entire family, as it will really affect his or her wellbeing as that person grows older, no matter how much he or she cares for or loves his or her family. That is the importance of recognizing boundaries. Love or caring for someone should not be conditional because I think one of the reasons that influence savior syndrome is that when a person views himself/herself worth based on what she or he can give and it leads to neglect or self-abandonement. Having a relationship with your loved ones should not be conditional and should not hinder your growth as a person. There is nothing wrong with helping your family, but there should be clear boundaries to protect the relationship, and communication is an important part of it. Childhood traumas, self-neglect and so on are among the impacts why a person tends to rescue that she/he needs to save everyone even if it becomes unhealthy. It's important to recognize your first needs and meet your unmet needs. It might be a hard road to break on that cycle, but you also do that to protect the people around you and yourself as well. You should not lose yourself in the process. Anyway, you are doing well, and you don't need to feel like you need to rescue everyone. You are at your own ace, you are valuable as you value your loved ones. You are the cycle breaker and there is nothing wrong to heal and prioritize your mental health because you learn to value yourself as well

Hope the mom teaches their children bisaya though, they're still young they can still absorb the language easily.

      What part of the Visayan region speak bisaya with a German intonation? My Filipina Lola speaks bisaya and sounds exactly like Earl John. I've been to Capiz, Cebu, Davao and Bacolod countless of times. They are very soft spoken and "malambing" unlike those who are from the North. I'm part German too and Bisaya definitely doesn't sound like German, far from it lol

      @@Moss_piglets some visayans and mindanaoans speaks thick accents like they are mad. Try visiting the local market or where the locals frequent that has elders in it then you will know. You will notice some of them speak like they are mad or when they are story telling about their experiences while drinking or just in a mood to tell. I have been in all parts of the Philippines because of my work and you can hear them speak like they are angry but it is their normal voice/tone. Also i kinda disagree about his description that bisaya is like a german in Filipino dialects since it is just dumb or should i say stereotypes like how they would describe russians language when they converse.

    I still don't think an eldest child should carry the responsibility of raising their siblings and lay back their opportunity to education. Children should also be responsible of their education even if their parents aren't able to provide. Not always asking the breadweaner. Everyone in the family should help and be responsible. Rizal told us that poverty is not a hindrance to success. Though many may not have my thoughts, I still think that if he went to college and graduates he can help more with his siblings in the future if that's what he wants.

    This show does a great job conveying the goodness in people's hearts and how hard they work towards a better life. This is the first time I see someone on this show that I can't feel any sympathy for. The mother leaves her 4 month old baby so that she can earn money in SK. Earl's grandmother has to work and raise him, and the poor kid didn't even have anyone to go to his graduations. His mother goes on to have FOUR MORE costly kids instead of sending money to her family so that her elderly mother doesn't have to work to raise her own child. Or at least a plane ticket for him to visit her in SK to get to know his siblings and his mother better. His siblings treat him like a stranger which is heartbreaking to see. He's 22 and now playing catchup with education, but the poor kid can't pursue his dream of going to uni because he has to make money for his 4 siblings. Every scene with his mother she shows zero remorse and is quick to praise herself. She doesn't even go to help Earl with checking into his dorms. No wonder he prefers being there, because they show him way more love than what his mother does. I wish the best for Earl and I hope he realises that he isn't responsible for his mother's toxic shortcomings.

    I’m Filipino and it’s culture that you have to help your sibling and your family when u get a job
    as sweet and nice as it is it can be toxic as some Filipinos look at their kids like Trust fund walking wallets and expect their kids to give back because they birthed them like they had a choice. He may be young and simple minded right now but he doesn’t understand the responsibilities of earning for a family of 10+ and feeling like your missing on your own life or freedom.
