Hello, everyone! I am 
My birtday last August 23,2023 was one of the most memorable celebration after 16 months inside the cage. Like a pigeon got his freedom.
To begin with, I am Dev, 33 yrs old, a father of two beautiful girls who is now 8 and 7 years old. I love my family but it was tested by time and I was so sad when it suddenly collapsed. I am still have the love and respect to the mother of my children so whatever reasons behind, I just kept it on public and never disclosing it and I would just elaborate my life with my children. For the seek and respect to my children, one day they would see my blog.
The Test of my Life
Well, I want to share with how my life when I was growing. I remember those happy moment with my parent. I am the only one child. My mother lost her second child because of hardworking and she never had time going to the doctor and one day during my 5the birthday, we were supposed to go the church but my mom was in unbearable stomach pain. Instead of going to the church for my birthday, it re-routed to the hospital in Tagum City. That was the lost of my sister who grew in the Fallopian tube. We have an angel in heaven to remember.
One of the most unforgettable moment iny life was when I was 7 years old. My father decided to let my mother go working abroad after the problem we got about the business their employer entrusted to them. I was too young when it started. They worked in an establishment since then until they entrusted a business. It grew rapidly and they earned but jealousy of the relatives of our boss triggered that momentous growth. It caused trouble and so on. So my mother work abroad leaving me when I was 7 years old.
I was like this when my mom left me for her work abroad.
The first very sad and painful traumatic moment in my life started when I was seven. I couldn't imagine my mother stepping up in the airport elevator leaving us behind. I remembered that day how I cried and shouted "Mama,please don't leave me!* but she was slowly vanished away from my eyes, from where I was standing while she walked with heavy heart going inside.
The second and the most painful part of my life when my father died leaning on my shoulder as the truck was moving from the farm where we my father's work going to the San Pedro Hospital. He hugged me but I felt the released of its tightness when we were already near to the hospital. It was dawn of December 2004 after his birthday and Christmas party. The doctor pronounced dead on arrival. I was praying along the way that if my father would have to sacrifice a lot, I asked the Lord God to take his life in easy way that being alive with sickness. It was a suddened headache and the doctor told me that it was a cardiac arrest. I was still 14 years old that time and my mom was still working abroad for my studies and her siblings education.
I was happy with the care of my Aunt who cared for me since birth, until my mom went abroad, time I was studying until graduated in college, until I got married and until now, she is in my sidemen behalf of mother and father. She has no child and God is good how He designed our life. My mother sent her and helped her in her studies and now she is a licensed teacher working with endigenous student.She is my second mother.
First time I talked my mother when I was inside the cage. I cried, the place I didn't deserve to be inside but I knew and understood the plan of God.I surrender myself inside and felt pity to my mother who want to stay with us for good because I already got stable job, I studied as scholar from the government for my second course but it happened.
The third painful experienced of my life when I was planted drugs and was jailed for 16 months. It was the nightmare that follows me until now. It was too hard to imagine being inside while I was not doing it. The traumatic moment the time they held me and paddle my stomach. I survived it leaving and imagining my children whom I loved. It was the reason why I also lost my wife.
The Freedom and Happiness
I was being freed last August 3,2023 and now I am starting to look forward for my children. One thing I can tell you that please be good to everyone but try to have a good choices of your friend circle. My wrong choices put me in danger and caused me an anxiety, stress and depression but today I am already free, looking forward on what God plans for me. I made those moment as the ladder to move upward and stepping stones learning more on the best of life.

Last Christmas 2022, I was in my first nightmare Christmas inside and I don't want it happens again. This picture last 2023 Christmas, I was free hugging my children.
I dedicate my life to my children and to my mother who have all the sacrife supporting us since before and until now.
More stories to tell and again, I am happy with you as I am working for the next chapter of my life.
Thank you
Hive on!
