Ang Tunay na Buhay ni Mark Anthony Bergado

Ipinanganak na walang mga braso at kamay si Mark. Bata pa lang ay tampulan na siya ng tukso at pangungutya sa kanilang lugar, ngunit hindi niya ito pinansin at sa halip ay ginamit niya itong inspirasyon para pagbutihin at linangin ang kaniyang kakayahan sa kabila ng kanyang kapansanan. Ngayon, sa edad na 18, isa na siya sa masasabing pinakamagaling na football players ng bansa. Samahan si Rhea Santos na alamin ang naging daan sa tagumpay ng football player na ito at kung paanong sa kabila ng kanyang kalagayan ay nananatiling positibo ang pananaw niya sa buhay.

Mark was born with no arms and hands. Ever since he was a child, he was teased and laughed at by other children but Mark paid no attention to these and instead used it as inspiration to do better and improve his skills despite his limitations. Now at 18, he is considered one of the best football players in the country. Join Rhea Santos as she finds out how Mark walked the road to success as a football player and how he remained positive in life despite his disabilities.
