Saklolo helps mom, 6 kids reunite

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN’s Pinoy True Stories: Saklolo helps out an aging woman who was abandoned by all of her six children and was forced to live all by herself by a river for three years.

In today’s episode, Maan Macapagal and Dominic Almelor tell the story of Hermie, whose six children would sometimes just coldly pass by her by the river. A concerned resident in the area already took her in and takes care of her, but not a day goes by when she doesn’t long for her children.

But according to Hermie, she can’t blame her children for forsaking her because they felt she had abandoned them when she left them and worked in Dubai as a domestic helper for a decade. Hermie eventually returned to the Philippines, suffered from arthritis and gout, and was later forced to sell the house she had bought. None of her children took her in, so she found her own place by the river.

Now sickly, Hermie yearns for forgiveness from her children. With the help of DSWD, Saklolo invited six of them to a gathering. Will all of them show up?

Saklolo airs Wednesdays at 4:45 p.m.  on Kapamilya Gold. For updates, follow @PinoyTruStories on Twitter.
