Okay, I'll give you one.

Wait! Wait!

Thank you.
Alright.
Please proceed to Gate twelve.
Your attention please.

I am Woman Performed by: Helen Reddy
[soft music playing]
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
I'll still work...
Even when we're married.
Sure, sweetheart.
How manyt times have I told you
that I don't want a trophy wife.
I want you to be your own woman.
It's best you have your own career.
- Rose is here. - Hey Dory.
Hey Rose, come here!
- Do you still go back to our hometown? - I haven't.
I'm so busy at the school where I'm teaching at.
How about you?
Is your work fine here?
There's so many annoying customers.
There are a lot of forceful men.
When they order, they feel like they own you.
You should use your judo on them.
- When you were young, you're good at judo. - Yes.

- Doris? - Brother!
You were so good, dude!
Dude, hey.
Sit down. Take a seat.
Dory can sit, brother-in-law.
You mean sister-in-law.
Oh right... I'll order some beer for us.
Okay.
We still have rehearsals tomorrow.
Hey, how are you?
You're so pretty!
Have a seat.
Wait.
Let me see.
How's mother?
She was strong the last time I saw her.
Your father?
He can't work.
Because...
His fingers have stiffened due to arthritis.
You're going somewhere?
How's your husband?
What's his name again?
It's Pio.
He's okay.
He's doing good.
Hey, I'll go ahead now.
- Okay. - Dude.
- Okay, dude. - How's your child?
- We don't have one yet. - Why not?
We don't have savings yet.
I envy you.
- Hey. - Take care.
- Take care, thank you. - Hey, Grets!
- We'll go ahead now. - Okay.
Okay, bye!
- Let's go, dude. - Okay, let's go.
Okay, wait.
You don't have a child yet because...
you don't have money?
How about me?
- This is fine. - Why?
Okay?
You can have a child too.
Greta!
- I'll see you tomorrow! - Yes, sure!
- Okay, dude! - I'll adopt, is that what you mean?
- I thought-- - Are you crazy?
I don't have a uterus.
That's real. It's all mine.
Greta, tomorrow one o'clock is the rehearsal.
Okay.
Even my organ.
[door thuds]
[squeals]
Oh, my!
It's real! Like mine!

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
Make a wish!
Dory, what's your birthday wish?
[crowd applauding]
Happy birthday!
[crowd applauding]
Of course, I'd wish to be a permanent teacher here.
Mrs. Robles.
You heard Dory's birthday wish?
I heard.
Please start eating.
Let's eat.
[crowd grunting]
You were great!
Sorry.
For what I did.
That's okay.
If you want, you can hug me all you want.
Okay. Let's go.
[crowd grunting]
These figures here
will give you and your colleagues an idea of the expansion plans
of the Cagayan De Oro project.
Now if you want more details, you can find it
here in this report.
Hello?
- This will give you an idea of the income - Hold on, ma'am.
during the fiscal year.
- Sir? - Yes?
- Phone. - Mrs. V.
I thought she's in Hong Kong?
Tell her that I'm in a business meeting.
Talk to her please.
Yes, sir.
Hello, ma'am?
Ma'am, he's in a meeting.
Okay, let him finish.
I wanted to talk to you.
Where are you?
I'm outside, ma'am.
There's this...
newly opened music lounge.
And there's a new jazz pianist playing.
Maybe you'd have time...
to go with me.
I would rather listen to him with you around
instead of your corny boss.
I'll see you at 6:30.
Yes, ma'am.
Okay, bye!
There he is, ma'am.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, sir.
I'm sorry to disturb you.
But I have a very important proposition today.
I hope you don't mind.
I don't. Have a seat.
Thank you.
Since in our station,
there's no T.V. program
that deals with the private lives
of our media personalities other than showbiz people.
For instance,
no one even knows who makes President Ramos' clothes.
Or the one who does Heidi Yorac's hair.
I'm not gonna be dealing with gossip.
I want to feature real people,
behind the names that make the headlines.
Like how many people know that
Ting-ting Cojuangco is also keen about History and Anthropology.
Or even Manoling Morato.
He trained to be a concert pianist.
So what do you think?
Well, it sounds interesting.
Why don't we talk more about this
during the weekend?
My beach house.
At your beach house? This weekend?
Why? Do you have a previous engagement?
I'll cancel it.
No problem, sir.
Who's that?
Introduce me to your friend.
This is Greta.
Greta!
Sister, get in.
[children playing]
Let's walk some more. Come here.
- You're out! - We're already late.
Get it bro!
Then he did this.
Hey, it's Rose!
Hey, Rose!
Ouch!
That's enough!
I'm tired now, okay?
I haven't beaten you yet.
- Do you still go to the gym? - Of course.
- Have you eaten already? - Yeah, we ate outside.
You didn't even wait for us.
Later, it's not a problem!
Greta, by the way,
have I introduced you to my brothers?
This is Nelson and Lester.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you!
You know him.
- I haven't. - Yes.
- Hello. - When I was still a man.
[laughs]
Greta, have a seat.
[laughs]
- Thank you. - I'll just get changed.
- Please entertain my visitor. - Okay Rose, I'll take care of her.
Okay.
- Do you drink? - Here, hold this.
Ma'am, just one.
It's okay. Just this once.
It's hot.
Brother wants me to come with him to Taiwan.
Do you have a job offer there?
There is.
But, do you want to come?
I don't want to!
And they're all Chinese there.
What would I do there?
So, what's going to happen to your job here?
There's a lot of applicants at the office.
Oh, my, William.
If you want, I can replace you at your job?
We can talk to Charlie.
Wait a second.
Greta!
Greta, come here for a while.
Hurry!
William.
Let me.
I'll get your job.
You can't.
Greta. Do you want to transfer here?
William is leaving.
He'd be going with Nelson to Taiwan.
I won't have company here, do you want it?
Yes, sure.
But...
It's better if you're the one to go to Taiwan.
William and I will be left here.
Sounds good! Really?
[laughs]
[motorcycle whirring]
[people chattering]
Mr. Nanding has an affair.
Is that true?
Okay.
Thank you.
Yes.
Dory.
Dory?
Uncle Fidel.
Come in.
- Bless me. - God bless you.
- This is for you. - Thank you.
Uncle.
Have a seat.
[dog barking]
How's mother?
That's the reason why I came here.
Your mother's sick.
How did that happen?
They said
that they just saw her
unconscious at the yard.
We rushed her to the hospital in the city.
Marcio lent us his jeep.
What did the doctor say?
She had stroke.
Not the critical kind.
But it's stroke.
Her mouth is kind of uneven when she speaks.
But...
She can speak?
Yes, she can.
But the problem is,
she can't move her left foot and hand.
Does she want me to go home?
Not really.
You can't do anything even if you did.
And...
She would only interrupt your work.
But she told me
that maybe you can just send money.
When Pio goes home.
My husband hasn't come home yet.
[soft music playing]
Okay, I will tell her.
Sure.
Well, I like this place.
[soft jazz playing]
Would you like to dance?
[soft jazz playing]
Raymond?
My hands are getting cold.
Hold it please.
[soft jazz playing]
Your hands feel so good.
I always judge a person by the feel of their hand.
[soft jazz playing]
Where do you want to sit?
Hi, Raymond.
Hello Mrs. V.
I'd like you to meet my fiance.
Vincent Gorres.
- Good evening. - Hi.
How are you, dude?
I'm okay.
Care to join us later at my restaurant?
I don't think we can.
Thank you, anyway.
Okay, dude.
[soft jazz playing]
Here's your bill, sir. I don't know what's going on...
- Really? - Of course.
Okay, are you sure you're coming?
I will.
Make sure of that. I'll wait for you.
Of course.
Miss?
Daniel!
I thought you weren't coming.
- One more. - I've been waiting for a while.
I've thought you weren't coming.
I was on my way out when I saw you.
I've been here listening to the juke box.
So when you come in, you'd see me right away.
How will I recognize you if that's how you look?
You don't like it?
I do.
I'm just not used to it.
Let's dance.
Can we do that here?
Yes, come on.
[soft music playing]
[intimate music playing]
Sir, we're about to close.
Let's go.
[busy street ambience]
Wait for me.
- Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning!
[motorcycle whirring]
- Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning.
- Where's Mrs. Robles? - She's inside.
Thank you.
[knocks on door]
Good morning, Mrs. Robles.
Dory.
Come in.
Have a seat.
You're early?
I wanted to talk to you.
What is it?
What are my chances
to become permanent?
A big chance.
Don't rush it.
My mother is in the hospital.
It's a big expense.
The salary of a temporary teacher is a bit low.
Do your job.
I've sent the District Supervisor
your records.
To have it evaluated.
Ma'am, it's been...
more than a year since I've been here.
How much longer will it take?
It's not in my control anymore.
Mr. Andrade will be the one who'll decide.
Even the evaluation for your records.
- Okay. Thank you. - Okay.
Why can't I be a conductor?
The trip is very long.
Last week, we leave at midnight.
First trip before dawn.
You can ask William.
Come to think of it, Rose,
the driver has to worry about you,
if you're his collector.
Of course, he'd know you're my godchild.
[horn honking]
Godfather,
I'm not going to be a burden.
The collector changes the tires.
- If the tires go flat. - I can do that.
There's a lot of drunk men who get on the last trip.
You might even be raped.
I can handle them, believe me.
You can even ask my brothers.
I can handle them too.
- Am I right? - It's your godfather's decision.
What did the doctor say?
[people chattering]
I just needed sleep.
- Good. - Okay.
Wait.
Please stand over there.
Rose. Go there.
Bump her and touch her.
- What? - Act as if you're going to harrass her!
It's okay.
- It's okay? - Go ahead.
[grunts]
That's enough.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Rose.
That's Wilson.
He'll be your driver.
- You're going to be a conductor? - Yes.
I'll take care of you.
Don't worry.
[cultural music playing]
Okay.
There.
Left.
Good.
Okay.
[cultural music playing]
More graceful!
Cynthia, go on!
There!
Okay.
Okay, that's enough for today, class.
Tomorrow I will teach you the third and fourth figures, okay?
- Yes, ma'am! - Thank you!
Thank you, ma'am!
Now follow your lines quietly.
Let's play first before we go home.
Dory!
This is our chance!
It's Mr. Andrade's birthday next month!
It's our chance!
Our chance? Who?
The temporary batch.
The four of us.
Where did you hear that rumor?
It's not a rumor.
I talked with Mrs. Robles' secretary.
And every year, they send temporary teachers
to entertain Mr. Andrade's birthday.
It's us this year.
What should we dance?
Itik-itik.
Supling!
Dory, you're so lame!
Make it sexier!
- What could it be? - I heard that Mr. Andrade loves women.
We can charm him.
We can ask him for the promotion.
- Yes, that's right. - Yes.
- Perfect timing! - It's our chance, right?
[ticket rips]
[man cat calling]
You're such a snob.
- I'm just admiring you. - Where are you headed?
Los Baños.
[engine revving]
[people chattering]
Hi!
It's good I got to you.
I want you to know that
I won't be able to go to your family reunion this weekend.
We have this re-organizational meeting
at the T.V. station.
We'll be out of town.
Please explain to your parents.
Okay?
- Okay. - Well, I gotta go.
Bye.
Okay. You take care.
[engine revving]
[door thuds]
[people chattering]
[engine revving]
[grunts]
Stop it!
I thought we were going to talk about
the project study I gave you.
We will talk about it.
But we need to
clear our minds.
So that we can project our plans
more effectively.
Am I right?
Come on, have a drink.
You be a good girl.
You're too shy.
Be nice to me.
Don't tell me
- you're still a virgin. - Mr. Lizares, please.
I brought you here
to see
if you can relax completely.
You need to
be completely relaxed in front of the camera.
If you want
to host a show.
Otherwise,
the audience will feel that you're tense.
They'll feel tense as well.
They won't enjoy watching.
It would be a waste.
They will switch the channel,
and you lose your audience.
Let's see if you're not tensed up.
Don't please!
Don't!
[grunts]
I haven't done anything yet.
You're resisting already.
You haven't been giving your best at work, that's why they pick on you.
Who told you?
You want me to go abroad?
You're always drinking with your friends.
And you think I don't know that you're getting into gambling?
Who told you that?
[knocks on door]
- Good evening! - It's Mrs. Robles.
Mrs. Robles!
Please come in!
I hope you don't mind the mess.
He's my husband, Pio.
She's Mrs. Robles.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
[chuckles]
Is there a problem?
There's no problem.
You talked to me the other day
about your being permanent at the school.
You're in a hurry since your mother is sick.
There's a good chance
you can take to expedite the process.
How?
Every year,
there's a birthday party for our District Supervisor,
Mr. Andrade.
The school sends participants for his birthday program.
New teachers are the ones I always send.
And if I'm not mistaken,
everyone whom I sent to his party,
got promoted right away.
What do they do there?
It's his birthday.
Mr. Andrade is in a good mood.
He could easily be convinced.
You can even ask for a salary increase.
That's why I plan to send you, Letty,
Vangie,
and Irma,
for this year.
Oh, my.
What would we do there?
You're a P.E. Teacher.
You can come up with
some program
that you can entertain Mr. Andrade
on his red letter day.
Oh, my. What would we do?
Will we dance or sing?
He's not keen on singing.
From what I know.
So we'd dance instead?
But something for the birthday
of a single man.
A special number.
Of course!
Do you understand?
Of course, I do! Don't worry.
You won't be ashamed of us.
[phone ringing]
Hello, Vincent?
It's good you're there.
I'm at Mr. Lizares' beach house, here in Puerto Azul.
You know the house I'm talking about, right?
Vincent.
Please fetch me now.
Calm down, sweetheart.
Calm down, okay?
I know that's the Lizares' house.
But I can't go there right away.
Aunt Esperanza left with
the three kids, their children.
We haven't seen each other for 15 years.
So, I guess,
I'll pick you up after midnight?
Okay.
That's going to be too late.
Too late, Vincent.
Good luck, girl.
[somber music playing]
[grunts]
Can I tape my first episode this coming week?
Your budget's approved.
You're in charge of
forming your own production staff.
If you have a script,
I see no reason why
we can't start taping your first episode by this coming week.
[intimate music playing]
[busy street ambience]
Rose?
Are your breasts real?
Why not?
[laughs]
You have a problem, right?
You're 26 years old
but you haven't had experience with men.
You may run out of time.
[laughs]
Hey! What are you talking about?
Maybe your sausage there is starting to expire!
- Dude, did you hear that? - It's already expiring!
Tell me the truth,
you're a lesbian, right?
No, I'm not.
I'm just choosy with the ones I want to be with.
Most men nowadays are like you.
I would never go out with you, dude.
She's never going out with you, dude!
Rose, prove it to me,
that when you taste my goods,
for sure you'd put me inside your panty!
- [laughs] - Stop it!
I'm getting annoyed with you.
I can do five rounds in a night.
If I get to do you, for sure
you'd walk like a crab after!
- [laughs] - [horn honking]
Stop it right now.
I may take your offer and you'd chicken out.
She says you'd chicken out!
I never turn my back on women!
When do you want to try?
We can do it tonight if you want.
Now you can't answer me!
You were too loud a while ago.
What?
I'll take your offer.
So I could see what you're so proud of!
Oh, no! You're caught!
- I can hear that you're flirting again? - Wait, that's nothing.
- We're just drinking. - Let's go home!
[laughs]
Where did your friend go?
His commander fetched him.
He's no match for his wife!
He's nothing!
He's so scared of his wife!
[ethnic music playing]
Concentrate on your dance please.
We've been doing this over and over.
Emma, you make a lot of errors.
[ethnic music playing]
Don't lose your concentration, okay?
And here's your plane ticket, sir.
Don't drive us.
I remembered that Girdencio Val is coming.
Yes, sir.
Raymond, what do you want us to bring you?
[chuckles]
Well, let's go.
[door slides]
[door thuds]
[engine revving]
[phone ringing]
Sir, phone for you.
- Thank you. - Welcome.
Hello?
Girlie?
Mr. V. just left.
He told me I'll take care of you.
Okay. I'm glad you're taking care of me.
I have something to propose to you.
I need two to three million more for the entire campaign, Raymond.
And...
To spice things up,
I want to offer two free trips,
to Hong Kong, or Bali.
Or Bangkok.
For the first...
for every 100 guests, in Al Fresco Resort.
There's a lot of guests in Al Fresco Resort, even now.
If your advertising campaign succeeds,
there would be so many trips for two.
In a month.
Now tell me,
which travel agency did you choose?
I'll be honest with you,
the new advertising agency of my boyfriend.
And I'm sure you can convince Mr. V.
to make it 12
or even 13 million.
For the advertising budget for next year.
It's corny if it's just ten million.
At least you're frank about it.
I want to be frank with everything.
I know what I want.
I'm prepared to give way
as long as I have my way too.
Do you understand?
I'm not sure.
But I'll think about it carefully.
[intimate music playing]
[wind blowing]
[intimate music playing]
[cellphone ringing]
Hello?
Hi, Raymond.
Come over.
I'm alone here at my house.
Mrs. V, I thought you were in Indonesia?
I got bored with your boss.
Come over.
Make my night.
Sorry, the line is busy.

[crowd cheering]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Tonight, here at Private Lives,
we give you yet another slice of life.
Ever since Greta,
who used to be known as Greg,
was a child,
he had always felt that he was somehow different.
And then again,
as another person growing up,
He somehow knew,
who or what he had wanted to be.
Tonight, with me is Ms. Divine Greta.
Good evening to you, Greta.
Good evening to you too, Bebs.
When did you decide to become a woman?
When my father died.
I decided to run away from home to give myself a chance.
I know that my mother
would want what I want for myself.
Was your mother able to adjust when she saw you as a woman?
She hasn't seen me yet.
Up to now?
Yes, I had cold feet.
My mother is always in the province.
I haven't gone home since then.
And... what would somebody like me,
a man turned into a woman do in our province?
The men there are all naive.
They will just tease me.
The only problem is...
I miss my mother very much.
I know that
she won't worry about my being a woman.
Since I was a child
surely she had noticed
that I'm gay.
And...
my mother,
she would always say
that whatever makes me happy
is enough to make her happy too.
I always dream of her, Bebs.
She may be thinking of me all the time.
- Okay, cut! Good! - Okay!
Okay!
Thank you very much, Greta. Thank you!
Let's prepare for the next episode.
Thank you.
Art Department, set it up, please!
Your props.
The lights, be careful.
You might break it.
- Thank you, darling. - Nice work, Bebs!
Beverly, well done.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I have to go.
Okay, bye.
Nice work, Bebs.
- Congrats. - Thank you.
Please take care of this right away.
[phone beeping]
Congratulations, Greta!
Raymond?
It's good you're there.
Are you going to sleep now?
I'm kind of depressed right now.
Pressure because of my new T.V. program.
Do you have some of it now?
[phone ringing]
[upbeat music playing]
Hello?
[upbeat music playing]
Mrs. V?
He's not in, not in, not in!
[laughs]
I don't have plans on becoming a spinster.
But I'm really careful with men
since I know all their tricks
because my brothers do it to their girlfriends.
It's a good thing you liked me.
I know when I meet the right guy for me.
I have high respects for women.
That's how I was raised.
Unlike a lot of other men,
they all think with their dicks.
Rose.
I'll be leaving tomorrow.
Our ship will go straight to Japan.
When are you coming back here?
March.
So, you won't be here by Christmas and on my birthday.
Rose.
I don't need to be here all the time.
To respect you.
I will worry about you for six months.
Everyday.
Every minute.
You'll see.
[intimate music playing]
Good night.
[door thuds]
Hi.
Where have you been?
I've been looking for you since yesterday.
I went out of town.
Who were you with?
Well, if you must know,
my boss.
Why didn't you tell me?
Look, Vincent.
I'm a big girl now.
You said I need to be independent.
You don't want the clinging vine type.
Why are you suddenly so irritated with my independence?
And I'm not being so clingy!
Are you having an affair with Spike Lizares?
[ominous music playing]
Don't you dare!
Are you having
an affair with him?!
Leave me alone!
Get out of here!
[ominous music playing]
[grunts]
[ominous music playing]
[door thuds]
Pio?
[dog barking]
Uncle Fidel, you're here.
Bless you, my child.
Your husband was here earlier.
But he went out.
He said he needs to talk to a friend.
About his job.
[dog barking]
They're just drinking and gambling.
How's mother?
I can't go home yet since I'm being evaluated.
I'm not permanent in my job yet.
How is she?
She's in the hospital again.
She went home already,
but yesterday,
we had to take her back to the hospital.
It's her diabetes.
It causes a lot of complications.
When there's diabetes.
Dory, the medicines are so expensive.
Why didn't you tell me before?
How long has she been sick?
It's been more than a month now.
Why didn't you tell me then?
I want to see her, Dory.
I always dream of her. I think I need to see her.
Go home.
You can give this to her.
You're right.
No.
Her condition may worsen if she sees me like this.
I don't think so.
[giggles]
- Mr. Raymond Santiago, please? - Do you have an appointment, ma'am?
No, I don't. It's a personal matter.
Okay.
[phone buzzes]
[giggles]
Hello?
Sir, you have a visitor.
- It's not business, it's personal. - It's okay, let me have it.
Surprise, surprise!
Let's go, let's go!
Hurry up!
- Come on! - Why?
- What? - Wait, wait!
Let's go to the bathroom!
Stay there!
Raymond?
Wait, wait!
- Wait! Wait! - [giggles]
Stay inside the bathroom!
Don't go out whatever happens!
[door thuds]
- Hi, honey. - Baby!
I missed you.
Why the unexpected visit?
You didn't even tell me you were coming.
I was bored in Australia.
Besides, I want to get married already.
Are you with your parents?
I wanted to surprise you.
And... I wanted to catch you
if you're with someone else while I'm in Australia.
Honey... You know that I'm a one woman man.
And moreover,
you're going to be the first and last woman in my life.
Okay?
[people chattering]
Ma'am? Ma'am Beverly?
Where's the editor here?
Nobody came this afternoon.
None? What do you mean?
I need to edit my program now.
But the A.P. and P.M were here a while ago,
before lunch.
I overheard their conversation, your program is canceled.
[ominous music playing]
Hello?
This is Beverly.
Is Mr. Lizares there?
When is he coming back?
Didn't he leave any message for me?
Are you sure?
[poignant music playing]
- [door thuds] - You're going somewhere?
Yes, I'm going to Hong Kong, I'm joining Spike there.
- Spike? - Yeah! Mr. Lizares!
We will spend the weekend at New Territory.
You want me to buy anything for you?
He told me to be prepared to shop 'til I drop!
None? Okay.
I have to go.
Because, my travel agent is already waiting inside.
Bye.
[poignant music playing]
[door thuds]
Look, look! Those women have very perky breasts!
I love it!
- And they're so beautiful! - Be quiet.
- Aren't they coming yet? - What's taking them so long?
[engine revving]
They're taking too long.
[chattering]
- I think they're here. - Where?
Is that them?
Your instincts are really strong!
Just for women.
Get yourselves ready now.
Are they pretty? These old men would have a good time!
Prepare yourselves! They're here.
[door thuds]
- They're so pretty! - Let them inside.
Wow, they are wearing something different.
- Good evening. - Come in!
- Good evening. - Come in, please.
Please come in.
- My co-teachers. - Please come in.
- Your clothes are pretty. - Good evening.
- Hello.
Good evening.
- Excuse me. - Sorry, we're late.
No problem!
- Introduce yourself. - I'm Mrs. Singson.
I'm Miss Carmona.
Miss Carmona, nice to meet you.
This is Mrs. E...
Espina.
Espina? Mrs. Espina...
I'm glad to meet you.
This is Miss Tengco.
Glad to meet you.
- Hi. - I'm Tony.
Hello.
Where are your other visitors?
They've all went home already.
Where are they?
What took you so long?
We're really sorry because we were picked up at 10 PM.
Dude, let's have them eat first.
I think they didn't have dinner yet.
It's just dinner.
You can watch what they're eating first.
Your eyes would feast on that.
You can learn different styles.
That's the kind of eating
that's very exciting.
[laughs]
I think we better re-touch our make up first.
Where can we do that?
The ladies room is over there.
Go straight ahead.
- Over here? - Yes.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
We'll wait for you.
They're all so beautiful, dude!
- We can have one of each! - Don't be a hard loser!
That's not a problem.
There! They're starting already!
Remember, you can choose now!
I like that one!
That one is mine!
And that one's mine!
Don't get that, that's mine!
[ethnic music playing]
Hello.
We'd like to join you!
[ethnic music playing]
Move it!
Move it! Move it!
You're all so pretty!
I love you!
[ethnic music playing]
I'm getting excited! I'm getting excited!
I think I can't hold this anymore!
Mr. Andrade!
Mr. Andrade, what?
What are we waiting for?
[people clamoring]

[poignant music playing]
Come here!

Lord, help this child!
Cover yourself with this.
Hurry up!

Be quiet and let's get her in the car!
Help me! Please hurry!
[sobs]
[people chattering]
Congratulations.

[laughs]
We're here at your room, Mrs. V.

So you can sleep now, Mrs. V.

Mrs. V, this is the way.
[laughs]
Okay, we're here now, Mrs. V.
Let's dance!
[laughs]
Give me your glass.
[laughs]
Please lie down now.
I want to lie down!
[laughs]
Just a minute please.

[grunts]
[laughs]

Don't!
Mrs. V, don't!
Wait, wait!

[ominous music playing]
What's this?
[ominous music playing]
Daddy?
Daddy.
Raymond was raping me!
He's an animal!
Ask him to leave!
Let's go.
- Michelle, let me explain. - You pig!
Wow, dude! It's broken!
What are we going to do?
If I were you, I'd look for a way.
Dude, a bus!
Damn, we're lucky!
Stop!
What are we going to do with this?
Let's just leave it here.
Let's go, dude! The bus is here!
- Let them ride. - Stop the bus.
- Let's go! - Just go straight to the back.
[laughs]
- Sit down! - Throw your car away!
- It's nothing! - Where are you going?
Just throw it away!
You're sexy.
You're sexy too. So, where to?
- To the heavens! - Dude, she's sexy.
Dude, cheers!
[laughs]
This is not heaven, idiot!
- She smells good! - And you? Where are you going?
Miss, please!
How about me?
How much is it?
Twenty five.
Twenty five, miss?
That's so cheap!
- It's cheap! - Maybe it's overused.
You may be surprised with how tight it is, and pee all over yourself!
You're being challenged!
[laughs]
Try me, miss.
Even your soul will come out!
You bitch!
Stop it!
[people clamoring]
[tire screeching]
Help me!
[people clamoring]
Nobody comes after us!
Nobody move!
[people clamoring]
[ominous music playing]
No!
Please have pity on me!
You bastards!
Stop it!
[people clamoring]
Have mercy on me, please!
You asshole!
She's so exciting!
Go on dude!
[ominous music playing]
Go on!
Do it!
[laughing]
Dude, it's my turn!
[laughs]
- Go after her! - Hey! Where are you going?
Are you trying to kill yourself?!
[screams]
- [tire screeching] - [screams]
What do we do?
You know, Raymond,
my period has been delayed for two weeks now.
I think I'm pregnant.
Does Vincent know that?
Vincent doesn't have anything to do with this.
It's just a lover's quarrel.
Lover's quarrel.
Please come in.
Ma'am?
- There's someone here for you. - Good morning, Mrs. Robles.
- Good morning. - Dory.
Please eat with us.
Join us for breakfast?
Can I talk to you, please?
I'll go ahead, mom!
Okay.
Have a seat.
I would like to
talk to you in private.
- Finish your food, okay? - Yes.
Come here.
Have a seat.
Dory,
have a seat.
Thank you.
Why do you look like that?
Did you quarrel with your husband?
[sobs]
- [sobs] - Alright.
Okay.
Just let it all out.
Just let it out.
Then you can tell me.
The...
party with Mr. Andrade,
was an orgy?
They took off our clothes.
Mr. Andrade wanted to rape me.
I don't know what happened to the others.
They didn't want to speak.
Dory,
you're too exaggerated.
I talked to Letty and Vangie yesterday.
I asked about the party.
They said,
it was fine.
They're too afraid to speak out.
They might get fired from their jobs.
That's how it is.
Sometimes,
it's better if
you wouldn't speak about it anymore.
They were going to rape us.
You just assumed it was that.
He was just being sweet to you.
It was his birthday.
He wanted to be sweet to you.
I want to file a leave of absence.
To file a complaint.
I don't want to go to the police.
But...
I want justice to what was done to me.
What did he do to you?
He touched me.
Were you raped?
- No, because... - So, you weren't.
Why would you start a problem?
Why?
Will I be fired if I file a complaint against Mr. Andrade?
I don't know.
But,
it's hard to say.
I want to take a leave for a few days.
[sighs]
I think that would help you
to calm yourself down.
You're overreacting to the situation.
You're too conservative.
Who is that?
[door thuds]
Is this the house of Rose Lanosa?
Yes.
Are you Rose Lanosa?
Yes. What do you want?
You have to come with us to the precinct.
What do you need from her?
You have a warrant of arrest, Miss.
Greta.
Don't worry.
I have a friend who's a lawyer.
Bev?
[ominous music playing]
[water running]
Bev!
[poignant music playing]
I went to six addresses but I haven't found the people
that I was looking for.
There was one in the province,
the other one in Saudi.
The other one already sold their house.
I don't know if it's coincidence or they're just hiding from me.
Wilson.
The passengers are my only hope, my lawyer said.
My wife.
- And my children. - How are you?
- They're all grown up. - This is Joel and Jane.
I'll just buy something to drink.
- Look after them. - Okay.
Soft drinks please.
Miss?
- May we ask something, please? - What is it?
Where is the house of Wilson?
Who's Wilson?
Here. Is he your neighbor?
I think they live at the other street.
I'm prepared to testify, Rose.
Thank you.
What do you think, dudes?
Let's search some more.
Yes, he'll be out soon.
Let's just wait.
They said, he lives in this area.
That's what they told us.
- We'll just wait here then? - Yes.
Once he comes out, you know what to do.
[door thuds] What took you so long? Rose left.
Why are you closing that?
- What's happening? - Wilson.
There are three men waiting for you outside.
I'm sure they will hurt you so you won't testify.
- For Rose. - They told you?
That's what I understood from what I heard.
- They're serious. - What did they tell you?
Wilson, think about our children. They're still too young.
Escape at the back! Don't bring anything with you.
Stop it.
Here's money.
Go to brother.
Tell him to bring you to Aunt Mareng in Daet.
Just go!
Rose is my friend.
She needs help.
She's also my friend.
But this is different now.
Your life is at stake here.
How about us?
Can you remember the faces of your rapists?
It was dark inside the bus.
Their faces weren't clear to you?
- How will I... - That's what I'm saying.
What your brother wants is difficult.
Those men who raped you should be convicted.
But what can we do?
Where would we find them?
How will we file a case against them?
Hi! Rose, I'll go to the club now.
- Attorney, I'll leave it up to you. - Yes.
- Take care. - Okay.
[swing door creaks]
[door thuds]
If a doctor examines me, would they see if I was raped?
How will they see that?
Perhaps they could get a sample of semen,
but that is just an evidence that
you had sex with a man.
You weren't raped.
What if they get six kinds of semen inside me?
They will only say that you love having sex with men.
Why is that?
Do I really look like a prostitute?
- What do you mean by that? - A sex worker.
A prostitute.
When I was young, I was always disrespected.
Is it my fault that when I was young
my breasts were already big?
My playmates who were boys
even my brothers
would let something fall on the ground
then ask me to pick it up for them.
When I bend down,
they would touch my butt!
[soft music playing]
That's why I'm used to jerks.
When they tell me adult things,
they would get a whole lot worse from me.
When they touch me,
I also touch them.
I won't back down, so I won't seem weak.
Just get used to it.
But it doesn't mean,
I'm a flirt.
Or horny.
Stop crying, child.
I understand you now.
I'm still a lady.
[sobs]
Why are you still here?
You're not going to work?
Didn't you have a good night's sleep?
Did I do something you didn't like?
It's not you.
Even if you're always drunk.
It's...
Something bad happened last week.
What do you mean?
Do you remember...
when Mrs. Robles came here?
She talked about a birthday party
of our District Supervisor.
Yes, you danced there, right?
But Mr. Andrade wanted a different kind of dance,
and his friends.
It was a stag party.
There were five men.
They wanted to undress us.
Those bastards!
I think they wanted us to strip tease.
They wan--
He wanted to rape me.
I was fortunate enough,
there were nuns that took me home.
Why didn't you tell me right away?
Damn it! I will kill those bastards!
You were so drunk when I came home that night.
I was waking you up but...
you didn't wake up.
The nun's veils
were the only thing covering my body.
What?
I told Mrs. Robles about it
but she wasn't serious about my complaint.
Go and complain at D.E.C.S.
Let's get them fired!
Even your principal!
Pio, when I complain,
they might favor Mr. Andrade, or Mrs. Robles.
Tell them everything that happened.
- I may lose my job. - Don't worry.
I can't! How will we survive?
Let's go back to the province.
We won't be hungry there.
You're the only one who wanted to be here.
Look at what happened to you.
[sobs]
[busy street ambience]
[ominous music playing]
- [typewriter clicking] - [chattering]
Mr. Andrade!
Okay.
Why?
Oh, my! Sir!
Sir!
You can't... Ouch!
[ominous music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
Excuse me, Miss.
You look very much like my nephew.
Uncle Fidel?
I am your nephew.
Greg?
Are you Greg?
I thought you were in Japan?
I had my surgery in Japan.
Look at me,
I'm already a woman.
Oh my goodness.
Do you always wear women's clothes?
Ever since I ran away from home.
Your father died too soon.
Ever since you ran away.
He died with resentment in his heart.
Even your mom,
is still looking for you.
Where's Greg?
Is Greg still alive?
That's what she would always tell me.
Is she getting any better?
How would that be possible?
Wait.
How did you know your mom is sick?
Dory told me.
You talk with Dory?
Sometimes.
[chuckles]
You look great in your clothes.
Uncle Fidel,
it's not only my clothes,
even my body is a woman now.
I had my surgery in Japan and was injected with medicines.
I am now a woman.
Greta is my name now.
[chuckles]
It's a good thing you understand me.
Why not?
I understand you completely.
The truth is,
I admire you for what you did.
What?
Do you know why I never married?
The rumor when Dory and I were kids,
you were rejected by the one you love.
Got married to another.
Do you know who it is?
Who is it?
Your father.
[door creaks]
Mr. V. is looking for you.
I told him everything.
I promised to stay away from you.
I would stop drinking.
I've been looking for you in days,
and you're just here all along.
Are you coming back to us?
I can't, Mrs. V.
I'm done with you. Please believe me.
I can't handle your world.
The world I try so hard to belong to.
I thought,
I could escape where I came from.
I can't understand what you're saying.
My family is poor.
Mrs. V.
My dad came from a public school.
My mom sells bananacues.
[soft music playing]
My sibling died.
She was a domestic helper in Hong Kong.
I only had a better chance due to a scholarship I got.
Because of your husband.
I didn't know that.
That's why I love Mr. V. so much.
I owe him a lot.
I really look up to him.
I understand that.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
Tell me how to make amends.
Go ahead, tell me.
Just leave me alone.
Please?
And please say goodbye
to Mr. V for me.
Thanks for everything.
Please tell him to forgive me.
I'm sorry.
I can't face anybody.
Especially him.
With my pretend world,
I can't handle anything anymore.
[soft music playing]
Waiter.
One more beer.
[door creaks]
[glass clinks]
In your opinion, Mrs. Singson,
did your principal know what kind of affair
Mr. Andrade was having for his birthday?
I think
yes.
Is that so?
But I'm also not sure of it.
I have to get Mrs. Robles and Mr. Andrade investigated.
You gonna expect immediate action for this.
As long as,
let's be quiet about it for now.
I don't want the media to know about this scandal.
Get well, sweetheart.
Don't worry about anything.
I'll take care of you.
I should be the one to blame why you were
subjected to those things.
I neglected you.
I didn't support you enough.
Anyway,
you weren't pregnant.
You shouldn't be bothered about it.
Regardless of everything,
I'm here for you now.
I'll always be here for you.
Whatever happens in the future.
I'm always here for you.
My songs are older than you!
I'm not ashamed of my age!
Calm down.
That's why my fans love me because I'm a good singer.
And I'm very good at this even before I was born!
I was a featured singer of Rolex!
Mr. Singson was still single then!
If you bought his club and him,
you can never buy me!
If you want new songs, why don't you get a new singer?
Who's more interested to sell themselves
since they don't have singing styles they can sell their audience!
[poignant music playing]
There were four of us, with Roger who got on the bus.
Roger didn't feel well.
So I had to be by his side.
She didn't want us to get on the bus.
When she noticed that Roger was sick,
she wanted us to get off the bus and Roger got angry.
So he told her off.
She went down the bus.
Then kicked Roger.
We were all shocked with how fast it happened.
Roger wanted to get back at her
but she's good in Judo and Taekwondo.
She pushed Roger.
Until he was hit
by a passing vehicle.
You're lying!
Believe me!
Order in the court. Order in the court.
[crowd chattering]
Even if I die!
Sit down, please.
[gavel pounding] Quiet!
Silence!
[soft music playing]
What will happen to Mrs. Robles?
Ma'am is here.
Ma'am, we'll miss you.
Mrs. Robles?
So girls...
Goodbye.
[sobs]
Ma'am, we'll miss you.
[sobs]
Ma'am.
Give it to me.
We'll carry it for you, ma'am.
Ma'am..
[poignant music playing]
[people chattering]
Ma'am.
- Ma'am. - Ma'am.
[poignant music playing]
I can't believe she's here.
Vangie, can I walk home with you?
[people whispering, chattering]
Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
How did you get in here?
I hid the key you gave me.
Why did you come back?
I jumped ship.
I didn't want to be that far from you.
You're stupid.
You left your job?
Are you crazy?
I heard your case on the radio.
You need me here more.
What?
You're no use to me!
Greta is here and my brothers.
Go back to your ship!
If you don't have anything to do there,
go to the middle of the ocean and jump!
Leave and never come back!
- Don't meddle with my life! - Rose!
I love you very much.
Have you forgotten that?
You're the woman I will marry.
You're so stupid.
Who will you marry?
Didn't you know that I was raped?
[sobs]
[grunts]
Don't you ever disrespect yourself!
Do you understand me?!
They can never bring you down!
Whatever they do to you!
As long as you're not bringing yourself down!
You're the only one who could ruin yourself!
Just you!
Please have pity on me, Daniel.
Leave.
I will.
If that's what you want.
I don't want to be late with my new job.
I'm a security guard now.
But I'll be back.
Never forget that.
I'll come back for you.
And I'll marry you.
Remember that.
You're such an idiot.
Did you know that I'd be imprisoned for ten years?
I'll wait for you.
No matter how long.
I love you very much, Rose.
I can't lose you.
Did you hear me?
[soft music playing]
[door creaking]
Greta.
[crowd applauding]
[crowd cheering]
Your requests...
I'm not in my best condition but...
I can't let you down tonight.
I would be singing for you
for the last time
in a long, long time.
I will be taking a vacation
to search for a new adventure.
I dedicate this song to all of you.
And so my dear friends,
I dedicate this song to all of you.
Yours truly, Greta.

Bravo!
The Virgin Mary of Gumaca is really miraculous.
What miracle are you waiting for?
That I can make you happy.
You've already done that.
We don't need a miracle to be happy.
That's what you think.
It's a big possibility that he's hiding there.
Who told you that?
His close family friend
who's close to me too.
We saw each other at the barber shop yesterday.
He really knows that?
Wilson's wife doesn't know anything.
Of course, he won't tell his wife.
He may get caught.
When I come back to the farm,
I will be my own self again.
It's complicated here in Manila.
I can't handle it here.
Don't worry,
we will sell all the vegetables and fish that I'll catch.
And I won't gamble, and drink anymore.
We could buy a lotto ticket from time to time.
Who knows, we might get lucky.
You said you won't gamble anymore.
[engine revving]
Where are you going?
Anywhere.
It's the same with me.
Hey, you're so macho.
Can you be my pillow?
As long as you're happy, grandma.
As long as you're happy.
Where are you going?
