According to her, Buddhist oracles had predicted that she will be the Philippine's next savior.

 "That's foretold 20 years ago that I will do something to free people from ignorance and suffering. And the old world will be destroyed and the new one will commend. The Philippines will be beautiful again," she said.

RAISING A WARRIOR. Like his mom Marlene, Jason's childhood was far from ordinary. In the interview, Marlene told PEP her son's childhood years were "very painful."

"His father died when he was two-and-a-half years old. His childhood years were very painful," she said. Marlene said her first husband, Robert Ivler, was found dead in a hotel in Bangkok due to drug overdose.

She suspects her husband was "murdered" by the "gods of war."

"CIA style 'yan e. Nakaupo ka lang wala na, overdose na. Later on, I asked the help of one of the most powerful, even today, politicians in the Philippines. I asked him to find out what happened to my husband. Months later he told me that my husband was murdered," she said.

From then on, Marlene said she had lived with a sword hanging over her head. Her two sons Colby and Jason lived under the same peril.

"For example, when he was four or five years old, I tell him, 'A friend of mine is coming and he kills people for a living. I don't want you to be seen by this person. So can you please go away, make sure that you are not around. I don't want you to see him, I don't want him to see you,'" she narrated.

Marlene and her two sons shuttled back and forth between the U.S. and the Philippines, but the danger level is the same.

"Then I would say things to him like, 'Honey, if ever something bad happens to me, bad people walking in this house, I want you to hit the floor to the corner to hide. No matter what you hear, no matter what happens, be quiet. I will take care of myself,'" Marlene added.

UNUSUAL LOVE. Marlene said these conditions allowed her to feel a different love for her son.

"I have a relationship with Jason that most mothers could only dream of," Marlene said with certainty. "We have something that no one can touch, we have something that no one can understand. That something we have, walang makakapasok e. Amin lang yun, e. He's probably my soul mate."

Marlene added that Jason is "very unique."

"The greatest gift I have ever known in my life is Jason's pure love for me. I would never find another one like him. If I lose him any time, there will never be another one like Jason," she said.
