Growing up CODA Part 3 Aliw Pablo: It's been a few months now since I've met the David brothers, Brother Ronnie and Brother Rowel from our Growing up CODA Series. And you know, I remembered when our team here worked on their story. We wondered, will other people, even if they're not part of the deaf community, relate to their story? Will our listeners gain as much as we did from their story? Well, turns out, we were in for a surprise. ...what stood out to me is how the parents continued to attend worship service for more than 18 years despite not being able to hear I’m a choir member, So the fact that there’s no music in their worship…still makes me cry. Because music, the hymns that we have are basically prayers. That’s what I thought of because for someone who has been hearing all their life, how many times have I taken that for granted? There is something for everyone in their story and every bit of it was so inspiring! Aliw Pablo: For the past few weeks, we've heard from a lot of you through text messages, comments and direct messages on social media like these: Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful and inspiring story …how move I was listening to your life story Aliw Pablo: And we get it. Many of you, like us, have been completely immersed in the first two Growing up CODA Episodes. So immersed that some have even told us that you've listened or watched the first two episodes a few times.  The kids watched it first and they told me about it… I’ve watched it a couple of times already and I still cry about it!  Aliw Pablo: And you told us about your biggest takeaways and how these lessons are making an impact in your own lives.  …and that showed me how God has His ways of showing His love  …sacrificing yourself so that your kids could have more, could have better… Aliw Pablo: We heard you. And honestly, we were just as eager as you to meet their parents.  You're listening to Making Changes. I'm Aliw Garcia Pablo. It's a show about the changes we go through and the life lessons we learn along the way. But always with God by our side. It's part three of our Growing up CODA Series and our season finale. Today's episode is like no other. Hello, Brother Ramon and Sister Raquel! Aliw Pablo: And yes, today you will meet the parents, Ramon and Raquel David, who are both deaf. The two people who raised Brother Ronnie and Brother Rowel to be the Ministers of the Gospel they are today. And we'll also be joined by Rose Guillermo, who will translate for us and as you'll soon learn, is now a part of the David family in a way that only God could have planned.  Aliw Pablo: Are you recording your video Ka Rose, po? Rose Guillermo: I think it is on.  Aliw Pablo: In this episode, you'll hear from our viewers and listeners who had their own set of questions for the family, specifically for the parents. So many of you wanted to learn more about them, like how do they meet? Or how did they come to that decision to sell the house? And how do they have that kind of faith? Brother Rowel David: They are very nervous.  Aliw Pablo: They are doing great.  Brother Rowel David: That was one of the things that she mentioned. She said, I don't know what to say.  Aliw Pablo: So before we get started, you'll hear a lot of “po” in this episode. “Po” is a term of endearment in the Filipino language used when showing respect to the one you're talking to. And you'll also notice us addressing one another as “Brother” or “Sister” or “Ka” short for Kapatid in Filipino. It's the way we show love for the Brotherhood in t...
