Nakaka-proud ang lahat kasi hindi madali yung trabahong ginawa nila. Nawala si Ate Ly [Alyssa Valdez] si Tots [Carlos], nawala din ako ng mga ilang weeks. Mahirap &#x27;yung mga trabahong ginawa nila, dinala nila kami dito,&quot; she said.<strong><br/></strong></p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XuuBkcIBAbQ??si=DhBUAIyndTw3qTkF&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
