REINCARNATION O NAGKATAON? Babae, tila carbon copy ang nasa lumang larawan?| Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho
It's shocking that a woman from Davao City
looks like a carbon copy of the woman in the exhibit at the National Museum.
Others continue to believe that this could be a case of reincarnation.
It's a case of reincarnation or the belief that after death,
the soul or spirit will come back to life in another body.
This was the theory of many when they saw the picture of this woman.
The picture displayed at the National Museum is very similar,
even though it's not blood-related.
I visited the National Museum and found this photo of a girl,
and it kind of looks like me now and then.
From the shape of her face,
the hair,
and even her smile.
The woman in the picture looks like a flower.
Oh my God, the resemblance.
Maybe it's just an AI.
So, is reincarnation real?
Who is the woman in the picture?
It looks like a magnetic horse with a lot of art pieces.
Reincarnation or just a coincidence?
The first thing I thought was, is this my second life?
Or am I her reincarnation?
The woman in the viral post is from Davao City, Veronica.
She left Manila last week for a business meeting
until her friends allowed her to go to the National Museum.
I've been planning to go to the National Museum for a long time.
Our goal is to have a picture taken at the Scholarium.
In their tour, there was a force that pulled her to go to a work of art.
That was the first portrait I saw.
There were a lot of art pieces there.
That's where I was directed.
I was laughing.
Why do I feel like I'm here?
My office mates forced me to take a picture.
These are the pictures I took at the museum.
At first, my hair was like this.
My colleagues told me to tie my hair.
That's when I saw that she really looks like me.
The first thing I noticed was our smile.
Our laugh lines are very similar.
My eyebrows are not even.
When I smile, my eyes are the same.
Why am I here in the portrait?
I feel like I'm in the mirror.
I was shocked.
There are a lot of people that you can look like.
You can still see them at the National Museum.
I was shocked.
Why do I look like her?
Who is this woman?
The picture is part of the exhibition of the National Museum of the Philippines
and Picture Portraits in the Philippines, 1891-1953.
When I did my research,
I read that the photos were collected from Panay, Iloilo, or Negros Oriental.
My father was originally from Barotac, Viejo.
They are from Iloilo or Ilonggo.
In my dreams, there were familiar places that I went to.
Sometimes, when you wake up, you feel very tired.
It's just like astral travel.
I said, is this my second life?
Or am I her reincarnation?
It's shocking if you think about it.
Veronica was also not saved from the doubts in her post.
They asked me if I edited it.
The bashers said,
it's too far.
It's just a smile.
The portrait doesn't have a name.
What I did was, I visited the Facebook account of the National Museum.
I saw the photo-alleo.
Luckily, they have a 3D or virtual tour.
That's when I found out.
The portrait was on loan by Ambeth Ocampo.
Alright, to answer all your questions,
the woman in the portrait is Belen Ocampo.
She's Ambeth Ocampo's mom.
Belen Raimundo Ocampo was the mother of the famous writer and historian,
Ambeth Ocampo.
The portrait was taken in the 1950s.
She has two photo-alleos.
The first one, she's wearing a balintawak.
According to our story,
it was given to her by a courtesan who was bashed.
It went viral with Veronica.
This one is a portrait printed on steel.
So, it's a bit shaky.
I think it's 1954 or 1955.
She's holding a flower.
My brother, when he was in college,
he visited a photo studio.
He saw it on a stand.
He went inside.
He said,
it's my mom, can I buy it?
She said,
it's not for sale.
My brother is annoying.
So, he always makes her go there.
He tells her to sell it.
One day, the owner got annoyed.
He said,
just take it.
We'll give it to you.
She didn't stop.
Belen Ocampo and Veronica
have a lot of similarities.
When Veronica saw it,
she posted that she looks like her.
She's famous because
there's a magazine feature
that since she was a kid,
she didn't cut her hair.
When I was 17 and 18 years old,
I actually joined pageants.
It's a coincidence that
also Ms. Belen joined Ms. Philippines,
which was also my dream before.
She built a botanical garden.
She likes to cook.
When my friends visit their house,
I'm the one assigned to cook for them.
During the pandemic,
when I lost my job,
I planted plants.
We watched her transcript.
Her grades were low.
So, my brother and I laughed
that she always made us study,
but her transcript was only 5.
She said,
maybe that's why I became a writer.
She's not good at drawing.
So, my brother became a painter.
I guess,
she got what she wanted in life
from her children.
But in 2003,
Belen started living
at the age of 70.
It was only 4 years in advance
that I was born
after Belen Ocampo died.
Reincarnation has been believed for a long time.
Almost all Eastern religions
have the concept of reincarnation.
For them,
there's a cycle of birth
and rebirth for people.
Because they enter again
in a cycle
until they don't finish
the cycle that they should repeat
based on their karma.
Ambev was also commented
on Veronica's TikTok post.
That's when my TikTok post
because people said,
my daughter herself said
that they are the same.
I'm just curious.
I also want to meet her
because of her looks.
Does she really look like her?
Let's see
if this reincarnation is real
or a doppelganger.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I said,
thank you so much, sir,
for acknowledging.
I really want to go back there.
I want to meet Sir Ambev.
I also want to get to know
his mother
from his perspective.
Just this Friday,
Veronica flew back to Manila
to visit the National Museum again.
At that time,
historian and son of Belen Ocampo,
Ambev Ocampo,
was also there.
What would Ambev's reaction be
if he saw in person
the face and what the netizens said
that his mother is a reincarnation?
Picture-perfect moment
that the two will see next.
The face.
A woman from Davao City.
It's like a carbon copy
of the woman in the exhibit
at the National Museum.
Our laugh lines are very similar.
The eyes, when she smiles,
it's exactly the same.
I said,
is this my second life
or am I her reincarnation?
The woman in what I call
photo-oleo.
The way of painting
in the old pictures back then.
Belen Raymundo Ocampo
who was named
by the famous writer and historian
Ambev Ocampo.
I also wanted to meet her
because of her looks.
Does she really look like her?
Let's see
if this reincarnation is real.
Just this Friday,
Veronica flew to Manila
to return to the National Museum.
At that time,
the son of Belen Ocampo,
Ambev, was also there.
While our team is interviewing
Ambev in the gallery,
she entered the gallery.
Hi sir.
Good morning.
It's you.
Nice to meet you.
It's an honor.
At first glance,
you would think
that there was a time travel
from the past.
You even changed your hair.
Is it really like that?
This is how my hair looks like.
Really?
When I clip it,
this is how it looks like.
Because in one of your pictures,
you don't have a lot of hair.
Yes.
The one with a bow.
They said,
put on your sweater
and tie your hair.
When I tied my hair,
I could really see
that I really look like her.
My other sister said,
you don't look like her.
The other one said,
you look like her.
They were also curious.
They said,
I hope to see you.
It's interesting
that you had the chance
to meet the two of us.
My mother took a picture
before she got married.
It's not as if
you're meeting your mother,
it's meeting your mother
before she got married.
it's like a movie, right?
I even joked,
maybe this will be trending.
Let's go to MGS.
So, there.
Let's take a look.
You look alike.
The smile.
Yes.
And the laugh line.
And the,
general contour of the face.
She was very vain.
It won't come out
when it's not neat.
We never saw her
without makeup.
That's what she taught me.
I said,
I should've followed her
since I was a kid.
Because she always
moisturized her face.
So, she was the one
who did the skincare.
Skincare.
It's nice to see
the two of you together.
I hope to be as wonderful
as your mom
and have a very nice life.
Very fun.
Having kids someday
and being proud of them.
There.
It's really important
that you have your own career.
Right?
And that you find
the right husband.
My mother was
career-oriented.
So, she did a lot of jobs.
Which I think is
what a modern woman is.
For us, Christian Catholics,
we don't accept
the concept of reincarnation.
In our belief,
after death,
there is what we call
judgment.
It is all about you
living a good life
in the here and the now.
And for the two of them
to have a souvenir,
they also took pictures.
And Beth gave Veronica
one of her books.
Wow.
I wrote a lot of books.
But this is about
the women of Rizal,
which is relevant
to what we're talking about.
So, happy birthday.
And I hope you enjoy it.
And I hope I get you
to sign this book.
I feel so honored
to meet someone
who's part of Philippine history.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, Beth.
If reincarnation is real,
I hope we can go back
to the things we love to do
and the ones we left behind
to love.
Thank you so much, Kapuso.
