>everything started in my husband's life.
> My husband, JOEY SEVILLA JOSE was born September
>3, 1978 in UERM Hospital in Quezon City, Philippines
>and his sister MARY ELLEN/ELAINE BRINGAS (name she's
>presently using ) was born September 18, 1980 (not yet
>confirmed from NSO) in UST Hospital in Sta. Mesa. They
>were born out of wedlock because their mother
>CHRISTIANA ELIZALDE SEVILLA (maiden name) was only 22
>years old in the time the first child was conceived
>and suffered from a forced relationship by their
>father, FRANCISCO C. JOSE who was already married with
>three kids. It was an affair she committed against her
>will that did not work good because she was physically
>abused. So when Ellen was a year old, their mother
>leave their father for good bringing her two kids.
> My mother-in-law did not have enough for her kids
>since her childhood was also faced with many
>hardships. She and eight of her siblings were
>abandoned by their father when their mother died in a
>crash plane when she was only 4 years old. From that
>incident, each of them were forced to live with their
>relatives. As a result, she was not able to finish her
>study and never had a good job to raise her two kids.
> After being with her children for more than three
>years, some of her friends, seeing how she hardly
>works for them, tempted her to give one of her
>children for adoption to lessen the burden. My
>mother-in-law agreed with them, unknowing that her
>friends did this not for her sake but for their own
>personal benefit because Ellen was exchanged with the
>sum of money she was unaware . Some of her friends
>were ATTY. DOY BRINGAS and BARRY BRINGAS whom
>according to their mother was the mastermind of the
>whole case. These two friends of her have a close
>relationship with the couple who adopted Ellen because
>they were cousins. They even let my mother-in-law
>signed the paper knowing that she was influenced by
>prohibited drugs. When she was already in her normal
>state, she felt very bad missing her daughter and
>realized how she made the wrong decision, so she
>fought to get Ellen back, but it was too late when she
>found out that the couple left the Philippines for
>good bringing Ellen with them. Based from the
>informationn who knew the couple told us that Ellen's
>foster parents were based in Abra where the woman owns
>a pharmacy and the man from Benguet who runs or owns
>a hotel in the said province.
> Unaware of the fate that happened in the time of
>their innocence, my husband and his only sister got
>separated not because of their mother's strong will to
>do it but because of the people around them that
>manipulated and abused the situation even to this
>present time.
> After a year, their mother got married and was
>blessed with seven children. My husband grew up with
>them and this was already the scene when I came to his
>life. We were so young and I was only 16 years old
>when we first met. I was on my third year highschool
>and so was he but he never finished it. He repeated
>highschool three times, not because of poor I.Q. but
>because of his own choice. When we got acquainted, he
>was already into all the vices available in this
>world, got along with any kind of people at any age
>and class, he had all the girls he wanted, and maybe
>I'm on the 101th line. In short my husband is an
>opposite of me who only knows two places, school and
>home. True to the saying "Opposites attract each
>other". Maybe this was the reason why we got too much
>involved, especially me. Seeing him with all these,
>it was a culture shock for me but I never turned my
>back on him. I believe that whatever strength I see in
>the outside is so weak and empty inside. I felt the
>emptiness in him, believing that I could fill that
>emptiness, I even pushed myself to look for his real
>father because since their mother left their father,
>there was never any chance for them to see and know
>each other unitl his teenage years. So, I did it, but
>it was too late, his father just passed away two weeks
>ago of liver cancer. Maybe if I came to his life much
>earlier, I have a chance to let them see and know each

>consolationat at least I was able to put back some of
>the missing pieces in the puzzle. He got to meet all
>his cousins, his uncles, his grandfather and his three
>half siblings. He was accepted without doubting him
>because accoeding to them, my husband and his father
>are so much alike in many ways. I thought it was a
>finished business, but I was wrong, when we got
>married in November 1999, I saw a baby picture from
>his things that resembles like his face but I knew it
>was not him. That was the time he revealed to me about
>his long lost sister Mary Ellen. Perhaps if not for
>that incident, maybe the story of his only sister will
>remain concealed up to this time. From that on, I
>never stop praying and hoping that in God's perfect
>time, I will see my husband and his only sister
>laughing together and be part of our family.
> After three years of our marriage, last December
>of 2003 my husband received a text message saying, "
>Loy, may good news ako sa iyo!Gusto ka makilala ng
>kapatid mo." Doubting and afraid to know the truth
>behind that text, two months had passed before we
>finally decided to make an action. My husband did not
>want to accompany me so I insisted to go alone,
>bringing all the guts I have and believing that I am
>the only person who could do this for my husband, I
>went to see that person without knowing his exact
>place and though I was aware that he too knew me not.
>The person I am referring to is Kuya YEN/ROMEO BRINGAS
>III who happens to be my husband's first cousin in his
>mother's side and on that time is presently working in
>GMA 7's Unang Hirit as a production manager and
>assistant director. Kuya Yen is the only person
>related to my husband who has an acces to Ellen

> When I finally found his house somewhere in Sgt
>Esguerra.... in Don Jose Condominium, he was not there
>to welcome my surprise, only his wife, JANE BRINGAS
>and Atty. Doy Bringas. While Kuya Yen was on his way

>that the text was true and relate to me that Ellen was

>(who notarized Ellen's adoption paper as stated in her

> When kuya Yen reached home, he immediately asked

>e-mail and allow us to read the part of it and not the
>whole content. Though wondering why they have to hide
>some details, we read it and three of the things
>stated in her mail that Ellen wanted to emphasize were:
> * she is only interested to find her only brother
>and she is not interested with any relatives she had
> * no matter what the cost is, she is willing to
>take just to find her brother
> * what kind of DNA sample she is going to send
>for the Bringas'
> After more than two hours of conversation, we left
>hoping that it was the start of everything good to

>importrant key because they never disclose to us any
>information to contact Ellen. All we have is a word
>they said that after a week they will let us know
>about Ellen's response, but a week passed, months,
>years and up to this time they never contact us.
> Right now Ate Jane and kuya Yen Bringas left the
>Philippines to work in Los Angeles,USA. The last
>information we got from him was that Ellen's parents
>stopped the communication with them and he no longer
>knows her whereabouts.
> So I am appealing to everybody who happens to
>read this section and knows Ellen Bringas, please let
>her know that her brother is still alive waiting for
>her here in the Philippines.
> As a wife, I strongly believe that it is my

>sister. It was not a work well done for me when I look
>for their father and I can't afford to waste any
>second of my time doing nothing. Life is too short to

>have seen how my husband struggles for life alone, how
>he cries alone, how he laughs alone and how he stands
>alone because he have no one to call his own family to
>show the world. He have us, as his family but a true
>family he have is his only sister he can call his own,
>his family, his blood.
> To Ellen, I want you to know that your brother
