My grandparents...
sent my mom to Manila to study.
Esme.
Come inside, now.
Esme! Follow me!
She wasn't even able to finish...
her first year in college.
That his name is...
Waldo.
Mommy said...
You just got here in Manila
and yet...
you keep going out at night on your own?.
What will your parents say about this?.
You're a very stubborn kid!
When she was young...
Mommy falls in love excessively.
Especially for this guy named Waldo.
What did you say?.
You're pregnant?.
My goodness!
Look what happened to your Aunt!
Sweetheart! Sweetheart!
And so, they called up my Grandmother from Cebu...
and asked her to come over to Manila...
Hi dear, how are you?.
What?. What happened?.
Come in first, she's waiting inside.
And when my grandmother learned
about my mom's condition...
Because of my grandma 's fury for what happened,
She said...
She will be sending Mommy...
with the nuns in a convent.
The crazy girl sneaked out and ran away...
Oh, Esme! What are you doing here?.
I'm pregnant.
So she thought...
Even if she was condemned by her family.
And the person she's with...
is the man who gave...
a meaning to her life.
who never looked for her...
and asked her to come home,
as if she was totally forgotten...
Stronger!
Dear?
Well, she wanted to believe that she is happy.
Waldo?.
Darling?.
-I'm scared! -I know where your funny bone is.
Don't be scared!
My wife isn't home yet!
Waldo?.
Waldo, who is she?.
Esme, didn't I tell you to knock first?.
Why didn't you knock?.
How dare you!
Put that guitar down! I just borrowed it!
My Mom no longer waited...
for Waldo to come out from the hospital.
and she also didn't go back to her family.
Because she didn't want to go back to Cebu.
Even if she had a hard time...
A person must always have a racket.
My Mommy did everything...
just to earn money.
As long as it's honest...
and she's not hurting anybody,
it's a decent source of income.
Oh! My goodness!
Be careful! Be careful!
Neighbors!
Neighbors! Esme is giving birth!
Oh my! Help us!
You! Go get a cab!
What?. Taxi?. No, I'm not taking the cab!
I will ride a jeepney!
No! Cab fare is expensive!
I'll take the jeepney!
Hurry!
That the moment she saw her baby...
she knew that she did the right thing.
Your name wil be "Abigail".
But you are my Baby Girl.
And even when her family in Cebu learned...
that she has already given birth...
they still didn't want to pry.
-It's good, you're here now. -Oh! My baby!
Here's your baby.
There you go...
Someone's looking for you.
Who is it?.
Brother Toto.
What are you doing here, brother?.
Have you thought of how you will...
raise your baby?.
I can handle it, brother.
Listen to what we're going to say, okay?.
Your brother and I just got our papers approved.
We will be living in America.
Your brother got a good job in New Jersey.
I can no longer bear a child.
And you know that...
your brother and I have been wishing to have a baby for so many years.
We can provide a better...
future for your baby.
Even if Mommy didn't want...
to give her child away...
I promise you...
I will go to America for you.
We will see each other again Babygirl.
Sister, take good care of my baby, okay?.
Don't you worry.
Don't worry, Esme.
The moment we're settled in America.
We will have you fetched so you can be with your child.
We have to go.
You take care.
Okay, brother.
We'll go ahead.
We still have some place to go.
Take care!
That was the last time that my real mother saw me.
Precy!
Precy! What the heck!
-Precy! -Ma'am!
Ma'am, you're looking for me?.
Are you really serious about being stupid?.
Or you're just naturally deaf?.
My throat is about to explode from calling you!
Where have you been?.
It's because, Ma'am...
didn't you tell me to clean the driveway?.
What time was that?.
Ten o' clock.
What time is it now?.
I just finished frying the chicken...
You're still cleaning the driveway?.
What were you doing?.
Are you eating the cement?.
-But Ma'am, it's because... -Don't answer back!
I will hit you with my diamond!
-That's going to hurt, Ma'am! -Bring out the chicken!
Why is it so noisy?.
-I'll get one, okay?. -Hey, Boboy!
Why did you wake up late?.
Where have you been?.
You were with your cheap girlfriend?.
-This chicken is delicious, Mom. -Answer my question first!
You were flirting again with Mrs.Galvez' slutty daughter, right?.
You never learned!
Are you done with your speech now?.
Why?.
Because you have a visitor looking for you.
Who is it?.
-Your cousin from Cebu. -From Cebu?.
I am happy that...
your life became so convenient, Esme.
Imagine?.
Who would've thought that...
Wow. She must've had her eyes fixed.
But I'm still more beautiful.
You even became very wealthy!
Wait a minute...
Wait a minute, dear. Let's pause for a time-out.
Did you come all the way here just to borrow money from me?.
Dear cousin, I have to tell you now that...
I will lend you money but there's an interest.
That's not what I came here for.
I'm not going to borrow money from you.
Is that so?. Then, great! Let's just have a chat then.
Come on, what are you going to tell me?.
Your brother Toto died in America.
He died of heart attack...in Disneyland.
He was killed by Mickey Mouse?.
My God, Esme! Your brother died. And that is how you react?.
Are you okay, Chona?.
After what my brother Toto did to me you expect me to break down in hysterics?.
You may be rich but...
You are as cheap as ever.
After 27 years, for God's sake!
I have never seen my daughter yet!
That's what I came here for. That's why we ooked for you.
Abigail is coming home to the Philippines.
She wants to see you.
What?.
Yes!
Then what is the problem, dear?.
Didn't you wait for so long to see your daughter?.
How much is this?
It's 250, very cheap.
- 250 thousand?. This?. -Yes.
Are you crazy?. That's too expensive!
Can't you see?. It's so shiny!
It's brilliant cut!
See?. There's not a single bubble.
And that's almost one carat.
One carat?.
My eye crusts are even bigger than this.
This faggot sells at a very high price!
What now, dear?. What am I going to do?.
Then, if she comes...
just face her!
Correct!
How much is your last price?.
How much?
Your items are too pricey! You faggot, come on!
One fifty, okay!
1 50?. Can you make it two?.
One fifty for these two.
My God! This woman is unbelievable!
But your items are all nice. There's really no bubble at all.
My stupid brother and sister-in-aw...
kept it as a secret that Babygirl is not their child.
So the kid grew up believing they are her real parents.
So, how did your daughter find out...
that you are her real mother?.
My cousin said...
when my brother Toto was in his deathbed,
his conscience must have haunted that jerk.
He revealed to babygirl that... they are not her real parents.
Oh, but wait a minute, dear...
What did your daughter say...
when she discovered the truth?.
She said, "Oh, yeah?. "
That's all?.
That's all. "Oh, yeah?. ' That's it!
Is that okay?.
Okay!
May I have a glass of water?.
Oh, this is yummy! Come, try it!
Would you like to have coffee?.
Why do you have to bring the guest to my room?.
Why don't you just use Boboy's room?.
It's not just a visitor! It's your sister.
Oh! Then you will deport Pipo to my room?.
Mom, my room is way too small.
Where is he going to sleep?.
You pests keep on complaining!
If you don't want to share a room... then one of you must sleep on the roof!
Then, that must be Pipo!
It's supposed to be him!
This is still working, isn't it?.
I'm not sure.
Since you bought that second-hand aircon...
and had it installed there, we were only able to use it once...
since you said it consumes too much electricity.
Why is that, Mom?.
You never let me and Pipo use it...
because you said it wastes energy.
But now that a guest is coming over...
you're going to let her use that!
Because your sister grew up in America.
She's not used to the heat in the Philippines.
Mom, it doesn't seem to be working.
Why won't it stop working?.
Does it ook like it's being used?.
This is still okay.
See?. It's cold.
See?. It's okay!
Are you sure about your daughter's flight?.
My cousin said it's today.
Well, do you think she will recognize you?.
Of course! I'm her mother.
There has to be an instinct.
That's her!
That's Babygirl! That's her!
There she is!
My! She's so beautiful!
It's impossible that she came from your womb!
Dear, are you feeling it yet?.
Do you feel the instinct?.
I think so!
She looks a lot like Waldo!
Look.
What did she say?.
You've grown up a lot!
You've grown so big!
Boboy! Pipo!
My goodness! Help us bring out the luggage!
She's beautiful and sexy!
Who is she?.
I have no idea!
Why don't you introduce your sons to your baby girl?.
Quick!
Well, I hope they have a father, right?.
They have different fathers.
Go on and eat Babygirl!
Didn't you have a ong trip?.
Why don't you talk to her in English?. So she would understand you.
You can speak Tagaog after all! You gave me a hard time speaking English.
You have no idea how happy your Mom is!
Because you're back now and you saw each other again.
Isn't it, dear?.
Oh my, enough of that please, I might cry here.
Your mom has been wishing that you'll be together again.
I said enough of that drama.
I might really break into tears.
Oh, dear! Wouldn't it be nicer...
if Babygirl stays here and never go back to America?.
Of course!
I really want my kids to be always beside me!
Who are you talking to, dear?.
Oh, it's nothing Mom.
I just followed.
Why are the windows closed?.
Because there's so much dust coming inside.
The street is too noisy.
And all the dust comes through the window.
Is that so?
Let's turn on the aircon.
Why is it like this?.
Of course not!
We just tested it yesterday and it was working.
Wait a minute.
Your brother knows how to make this work.
Will you come here, Pipo!
Why Mom?.
Why doesn't the aircon work?.
Wait, step aside Mom.
This is easy!
There you go!
It's fixed!
It's okay now, Mom.
What?.
That's also her child?.
And she came from the States?.
-Gosh! What a shame. -Why so surprised?.
Don't you remember?.
That the father of Pipo is different from Boboy's.
My goodness!
She collects her eldest kids.
What can we do?. She's really different...
Good evening Ma'am!
Oh, I saw that...
you have a guest. She was even carrying a luggage.
Oh! Yes, she's from the States.
So, is she your close relative?.
Yes Ma'am. She's my sister.
I didn't know you have a sister!
Well, we didn't know about it either.
I have to go ahead Ma'am.
I'm shocked!
How long is sister staying in the Philippines?.
I don't know.
It's only between her and Mom.
Why are you like that?.
It's as if you're not thrilled about finally meeting your sister.
Why should I care?.
She has a different father anyway.
But Pipo has a different father too, right?.
That's different.
Because Pipo and l...
we grew up together.
While we just met this sister of ours.
I just found out today, I have an elder sibling.
For all I thought, I'm the eldest.
Your family is kind of weird, isn't it?.
Imagine having a mother like ours.
Would you still wonder why our family's like that?.
I'm running late so I can't entertain you right now.
Because my manager told me to be early at work.
Have you eaten dinner yet?.
You might want to eat first before you go.
I'm sorry, I'm really running late. Bye!
Then I'll just go with you.
My gosh! I said, you can't!
You're still below 1 8 so you can't enter the bar.
But, I won't be going inside.
I'll just walk you there.
Whatever! Do what you want.
Are you sure you don't want to eat?.
Pipo, you've already asked me thrice and I have also refused it thrice.
Would you stop that drama?. I don't want anyone bugging me, okay?.
Hey, Vivian!
Sir Jimmy has been waiting for you.
As well as Congressman's group.
I know! That's why I'm here now, right?.
Hey Pipo, you can go now!
Your mother might be looking for you, go!
Okay...
Hey, Pipo!
Be careful.
There's a ot of goons in the street.
I will!
My goodness, Vivian.
You are flirting that snotty kid?.
You're amost like his nanny!
-You're unbelievable. -This jerk!
What's your problem?.
Get out of my way, jerk!
Okay Boy, you can leave me here now.
I'll just wait 'till you get inside.
Good evening Ma'am.
I thought...
you said, you'll just do a research there...
at your school's library?.
But Mom, Boboy just fetched me.
Get in. Go inside now.
Okay Boy.
-Thanks. -Okay.
I will go ahead Ma'am.
Go home now.
Hey, young lady!
Are you really trying to push the limits?.
How many times have I told you...
that I never ever wish to see...
that face of Esme's son, anywhere near you?.
Mom, what has Boboy done to you?.
Why are you so mad at him?.
You ridiculed him right in his face.
You know?.
What you did was really embarrassing!
Who are you ashamed at?.
That guy?.
He should be the one embarrassed....
for his mother's lewdness!
Why do you have to pry into Boboy's family anyway?.
Whatever!
I don't want to be related to that woman's lineage!
Buddy! Take a shot!
Hey guys, I'll go ahead!
So hot!
Mommy might wake up!
Don't be too loud!
Mommy wil be very furious if...
she finds out that I came home this late.
Keep quiet.
Hey, wake up!
Wake up!
You eat now, Babygirl.
Coffee is bad for an empty stomach, Babygirl.
Hey, you Boboy!
What time did you come home last night?.
You asshole!
-I'm telling you, if you get someone pregnant... -Mom, can I just eat breakfast first?.
Before you start scolding me?.
Precy baby, plate please.
Oh! Mom is in a very good mood!
You too, retard!
Where have you been last night?.
You said you won't be out for long!
Don't trick me by acting cute, Pipo!
What time did you come home last night?.
From now on, you're not allowed to use the car!
Do what you want with your life!
Don't come back home, it's up to you!
Babygirl, you're dressed up?.
Well, Karen wil pick me up for a lunch out.
You're going out?.
Why didn't you tell me?.
Because I didn't expect that...
she would be inviting me...
to eat lunch outside.
Wow! You have too much clothes, Babygirl!
Your clothes must be very expensive, Babygirl.
May I see their brands...
Wow! Kisses and Company!
These clothes must cost a lot.
Wow! What is this?.
Jimmy Choo.
What's this?.
A Chinese?.
Or Made in China?.
They're all nice!
My gosh, Babygirl.
You have so many clothes!
You must really love cothes!
Well Mom, I need them for my job in new York.
That's why it's important that I have nice clothes.
They really are beautiful!
Well, actually, she's just my Aunt.
that she made an inventory of your things.
Why is your face like that?.
Just one question...
Why do they alays talk like that?.
They are always on volume control.
They always yell at each other.
It's probably because...
they were just excited to see you?.
So look at my brothers...
Have you told your Mom...
the reason why you came back to the Philippines?.
I'm still waiting for the right timing.
Dear!
Babygirl is kind of vain, isn't she?.
I've noticed, she's not just vain...
but also a little flirt.
Really?.
Who do you think she got it from?.
Who among us, was only 1 6 years old...
when she got pregnant?.
Shame on you!
I never slept around when I was young!
I just fell in love with Waldo.
Because you know that guy...
was so hot, handsome and he smells so good!
Oh, really?.
Well, how ese can you explain now...
why your kids have different fathers?.
It's because I fall in ove so easily back then.
You know how I am when I'm in love...
I'm so giving.
I even give up my soul.
You even gave all your men a child.
That's it.
I don't want my daughter to go through...
what I've gone through.
My stupid brother raised my child the wrong way.
It's like she's so mad at money!
She puts on too much make up!
And her clothes?.
My goodness!
I think she has no idea...
where my biological father is.
You haven't even asked her if...
But I wasn't told that my brothers have different fathers!
How are you going to find your father?.
Who put my clothes in the closet?.
Me!
I arranged it...
when I saw your clothes in the suitcase.
I placed it on the closet...
so it won't be cluttered.
Why, is there a probem?.
Mom, I don't want other people touching my things!
I don't like it either.
But I'm not a stranger to you.
I'm your mother, remember?.
Because Karen will pick me up at seven.
You're leaving again?.
You just got home, right?.
We're going to eat dinner with some friends.
How are we going to bond together?.
All you do is go out on gimmicks!
Will you speak to me in Tagalog?.
My tongue is all twisted because of you!
What?.
Why do we have to look for that stupid retard?.
I have a problem in America.
When you signed the consent for adoption,
when you gave me to your brother...
Now, my lawyers in New York...
are already preparing the documents.
What's the document for?. What is it?.
It was explained to me...
but I didn't understand it.
She speaks English too fast!
And where are you going to find...
the greatest ove of your life, my dear?.
Exactly!
Since I smacked him in the head with a guitar...
and Waldo was hospitalized...
I never saw him again.
Oh! That's easy, dear.
Don 't you have a lot of contacts...
that can look for Waldo?.
Didn't you have a boyfriend in NBl?.
Dear, that was in the 1980's.
Dodong was over 50 years old when we were together.
He should be around 80 years old now!
It's either he has already lost his memory...
or he's already decomposing...
I'll take care of that.
I will ask help from my contacts.
My brother-in-law's sibling...
works at the NBl.
You see?.
Is it done yet?.
Those documents seem to be very important.
Yes. It's really important.
Because if I failed to have it signed...
My inheritance from my adoptive parents.
Babygirl! Why are you home so late?.
Babygirl, I have something to tell you.
You listen.
I am your mother.
I have more experiences than you.
You're still on your way there.
But I'm already on my way back.
Are you listening?.
When a car has already been used...
it's resale value would be very low.
And Karen, there's another one...
My Mom wants to meet you.
Why are we going to eat here?.
Mom, it was Karen who chose this restaurant.
Sis, I think it's very expensive here.
Wait a minute...
Who's going to pay for our food?.
We should've gone to a noodles eatery.
It's not just delicious, but also affordable!
Unlike this place that's overdecorated!
Mommy, Karen wil be taking care of the bill.
Good. It's better to be clear.
I'm relaxed, you know.
What is this?.
There's too much utensils and glasses.
How many people are going to eat?.
Mommy, that's the way it is.
Same as what you'll have, Sis.
Okay, I'll go for the red wine too.
Which drink is tastier?.
I don't know....
Is this for real?
Oh my goodness!
The cheapest meal here costs 650.
What the hell is that?.
Can we take the plates home after eating?.
Babygirl, just order for me.
I didn't understand a thing written in the menu.
Dear, hey!
What's your name again?.
What does your father do?.
Investment?
What's that?.
You're going to help me out.
It is better that...
you know our family business.
You will collect payments for the rents.
What?.
I will be collecting the rent?.
ipo, go with your sister.
And let her deal with Cardo, okay?.
Mom, are you sure of letting her talk to Mr.Cardo?.
So what?.
But we just went there, didn't we?.
He's right.
Talk to him in English so he'd panic.
Don't get carried away with that old man's drama.
He's really a big liar.
Then introduce yourself!
Is that a problem?
Mommy owns all these apartments?.
Yes.
She has a ot of apartments for rent.
She also has stalls for rent near the market.
She also has other businesses and money lending.
Every month, she send us here...
to collect payments from the tenants.
Then why did she send me here now?.
Because this Mr.Cardo...
is so hard to ask payments from!
We've been perstering him for months...
but he still doesn't want to pay!
You know, things like that...
should be reported to the city hall.
or to the police station.
for these kinds of problems.
What do you mean "legal"?.
Hey Sis! This is Philippines!
What is it?.
Good morning Mr.Cardo!
Oh! Didn't we just talk the other day, Pipo?.
I don't have money!
That's why my sister would be talking to you instead.
Sis, you take over now.
Were you sent here by Esme?.
Yes sir, I was sent here.
What kind of explanation...
do I have to tell Esme?.
For how many months, I have not...
received allowance from my kids.
And my pension was already spent...
for buying my medicines.
This.
I don't have money for rent.
Dear...
I'm about to die.
Would you like me to pass away on the streets?.
Lying down on a sidewalk?.
Sweet corn!
I don't have money.
There's sweet corn.
Come on!
He's a liar!
What do you mean he's a liar?.
He can't even stand anymore.
Then, you should've brought him to a funeral house!
We have a good news!
My Brother-in-law found him!
We found him!
Who?. Who did you find?.
It's Waldo.
The real father of Babygirl!
Is that where Waldo lives?
My dear...
That's the address given by my friend from PNP!
Well, are you coming with me or not?.
Just go by yourself Babygirl.
Don't you want to get together with Waldo, dear?.
Never mind.
Only Babygirl has something to do with him, not me.
Why Ma'am?.
Is this the house of Waldo Garcia?
Yes Ma'am. May I know who you are?.
Sir.
Why?.
Someone is ooking for you.
Are you Mr.Waldo Garcia?.
Yes, I am.
That's him! There he is!
So What?.
He is very tall indeed!
-And so handsome! -What do I care about?.
See?.
That's the first man who got you pregnant!
That was so long ago!
I don't care about that jerk anymore!
Oh! Come on!
Who are you?.
I am Abigail.
The daughter of Esmeralda Fajardo.
Come in.
Come inside.
Did your mother tell you to come here?.
I just came from America.
I heard...
your mother gave you away.
She was alone back then...
and was very young...
that's why she didn't get by.
How is Esme doing?.
Why did you look for me?.
You have a peacefu life in America.
And I think you were well taken cared of.
Why did you come back for us?.
If you are expecting something from me...
Take a look around.
I already have a family.
I have six children.
-And... -That's not the reason.
for my return.
I looked for both you and Mom.
Because I have papers that you need to sign.
What papers?.
I was uestioned about the legal adoption.
So, there must be one document proving...
Mom has signed it many years ago.
You're the only one who hasn't.
But how did I get involved...
She wrote your name on my birth certificate.
So there will be no questions?.
And you will get the inheritance...
from the people who adopted you, right?.
Wait a minute...
There's something I want to tell you...
What is it?.
I was wrong.
I was wrong for leaving you and your mother.
I regret having done that.
I feel sorry for it.
Please tell that to your mother.
She was the one who left me.
Look at this...
Look at this souvenir she left me!
She hit me with a guitar...
in the head for three times!
I almost fractured my skull...
because of the rampage of your crazy mother!
What?.
Are you crying?.
Who am I going to cry for?.
That pathetic father of my daughter?.
He can go to hell!
You're done?.
Why so quick?.
Did he sign it?.
Why are you like that, Mommy?.
Of course!
Why wouldn't l?.
Come on, let's go.
Close the door!
What did that man tell you?.
Did he acknowledge you as his child?.
Because if he didn't, he's a beast!
He said that?
Not everything has to be spoken.
I'm feeling it.
Oh no! You cannot let everything depend on feelings.
Mommy, there's something he asked me to tell you.
But I'm stil waiting for the right time...
when I can tell you about it.
What is it then?.
That's all?.
Why?.
Is there something else he needs to tell you?.
He's an animal!
He cheated on me...
and got me pregnant.
He eloped with that prostitute.
He just disappeared like a bubble!
And then, it's just "sorry"?.
What?. Did he get dizzy?.
Mom, you almost broke his head!
He said you hit him with a guitar!
If I only knew this would happen...
I should have killed that bastard!
What crashed down?.
Precy, what happened?.
Oh my! Ma'am, it's the tree's branch...
It wasn't my faut!
What is that?.
You broke my Snow White?.
I'm sorry Ma'am! I didn't mean to!
What?. You didn't mean to?.
You ruined Snow White! How stupid can you get?.
What is an accident?.
Of all places where that stupid branch can fall,
it aimed for the Seven Dwarves!
Hey! Get down from there!
Wait for me, you pest!
Get out from there now! Come down!
Why?. What happened here?.
Hey! Pay for what you ruined in my house!
Then what was damaged?.
What are you?. Blind?.
Look at that!
Because of that darn tree!
My Snow White crashed down!
What happened there?.
Why do you keep on shouting there?.
Even if your throat ruptures from shouting,
-You can't fix what just crashed down! -Look at this crazy woman!
You're the one who caused me a problem!
And you have the nerve to squabble with me?.
With the way you demand...
It's as if you're someone.
You don't have the right to shout at us.
Because you're not feeding us.
You're so hurtful!
Just go inside and I'll take care of this.
And you!
Don't you dare...
pay this woman a single penny.
Because if you do...
I'm the one you'll have to face!
Is that so?
You are really pushing it?.
Yes!
I am really pushing it!
And I'm not afraid of you like the rest of our neighbors!
What were you thinking?.
You won't scare me with your mouthy tirade!
Are you trying to mess with me?.
-I said, yes! -Don't walk away from here!
Don't you leave this spot!
I am not scared of you!
That's enough! Come on!
Let's go!
You're so hard headed! Come on! Let's go home!
What's that noise outside?.
Is there a fight?.
Mom! Why are you holding that?.
You step aside! Don't butt in!
-Brother! Stop Mom! -Mom! What are you doing?.
Why is there a gun?.
Hey! You witch!
Let me see how brave you are!
Come on! Let's kill each other!
My! She has a gun!
Come here!
Hey coward!
You're a cowardly old witch!
You are gutless!
Minyong, don't!
Don't!
Don't Minyong! Don't!
You're over acting!
I have'nt even fired yet!
And he's already dead?.
You'll get better! You'll recover!
Just keep praying! Just pray!
Calm yourself down!
Minyong will get better!
They're arrogant just because they have guns.
Let's see when they don't have a gun anymore.
If he'll fight us back.
What do you think?.
Let's strike at him.
I didn't fire the gun.
It's not even loaded!
But they said you pointed the gun at them.
I just scared them off!
That fat beastly neighbor of mine kept on gibbering!
That's why Mr.Kahanding got a heart attack.
Am I to blame that he has a heart disease?.
Blame it on his brainless wife!
That's enough, dear.
Enough.
What now, Boboy?.
Any updates?.
How is Mr. Kahanding?.
He's okay. He's still breathing when they carried him to the ambulance.
-Thank goodness! -You see?.
He's still alive!
What else is the problem?.
Do you know that?.
Sis, it's okay now.
You can come out now.
Then, where are the cops?.
Where did they go?.
They're gone. They've left.
And besides, those are Mom's acquaintances!
What she does every Christmas...
is give out gifts to those...
policemen who arrests her.
Sister, is there anything we can do?.
She's our mother.
You can do something.
How old are you?.
-Let's see... -Would you please make use of your brain!
Well then...
Why don't you talk to Mom yourself?.
She might listen to you.
Why do I have to be the one to talk to her?.
I'm just a visitor in this place.
Really?.
A visitor?.
But isn't she your mother too?.
Yes. She's my mother too.
Go ahead Boboy, you can leave me here now.
Our house is just a few steps away.
Is that so?
Then I'll take you there!
Just don't.
Why?.
Did your Mom get mad at you again?.
Because you're meeting up with me?.
Let's just not talk about it.
You're not the problem, it's just...
Who?.
Is it my mom?.
That's why let's not talk about it anymore.
The elders won't listen to us anyway.
They're the ones who has a problem.
Not us.
Okay, let's just text each other.
Are you okay?.
Nothing.
You know, Boboy.
I am sorry for what I've said.
Because I know I'm right.
But the way I said it was wrong.
I know that you're right, Sis.
But...
What can Pipo and I do?.
You have a choice.
We have nothing.
Why don't you have a choice?.
Because, look at this...
It's okay if you don't live with her.
It's fine if you don't compromise with her.
And another thing...
You can go back to America, how about me and Pipo?.
Where are we going?.
But you have to do what would make you happy.
Even to your own mother?.
Even our own mother.
So, what are you going to do?.
You're going to be okay, right?.
Thanks, sis!
You're here again?.
You're disturbing the guests!
Come and go home now!
But I'm not doing anything.
That's why you should go! Go on!
Vivian, what is your problem?.
You've been whining too much!
It's not a pa of my job to get exploited!
Look at this woman!
You are being paid here...
to entertain the guests...
and not to flirt around!
Go back inside!
-Vivian, go back inside! -Go to hell!
You can entertain those perverts if you want!
Vivian, come back here! Go back inside!
Why?. Why?.
I left the keys to my house.
There must be no one inside.
All the lights are off.
Your housemate must have left.
Sick! This life is so sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick!
It's okay, Pipo.
Go home now.
Do you think I can do that?.
Pipo, I don't have the keys to my house.
So I won't be able to get inside.
I can't go to Eden either...
because her show must be ongoing.
She cannot be disrupted.
That's why I'm staying here with you.
My God!
What sort of misfortune is yet to happen today?.
Let's go!
-Where are you taking me?. -Do you want to die from a cold virus?.
Come on!
Come inside.
Are you sure we can stay here?.
Just don't be too loud.
We'll stay here inside the room.
What are you really planning to do?.
Nothing!
What do you think am I going to do?.
I'm still too young, you know.
We'll just stay here in the room.
So Mommy won't see us.
This is perfect.
Brother isn't home yet.
He must still be with his girlfriend.
Wouldn't your brother go mad...
if he finds out that you let me stay here inside your room?.
Why would he get mad?.
We're not doing anything wrong.
Here, wipe yourself dry.
Thank you.
You change into dry clothes as well.
No, thanks. I'm okay.
What do you mean you're okay?.
Look! You're shivering!
Go ahead and change now. I'm not going to look.
Hey! What are you doing?.
I'm changing my clothes!
I'm drenched too, you know.
Okay then.
Don't look, okay?.
No. I won't be peeping.
Hey Pipo!
Don't mess with me okay?.
I wil kick you...
No, I won't come close!
Of all places where you can get a job,
-Why did go to that place?. -Do you think I'm happy with what I'm doing?.
Do you think I would put up with that job, if I only have other ways to earn a living?.
And do you know how many siblings I am sending to school in the province?.
Brother!
Are you really crazy?. Why are you bringing a girl home?.
Bro, you don't understand.
You're making me look stupid?.
Why are you taking home-
Do you want to-
You're so busted!
Send her home!
-Hey! -Tell her to go home!
What do you mean we're busted?.
I just want you to know,
Your brother and I are not doing anything!
We were just talking here, you know!
Just so you know, your little brother is not my type!
What now?. What?. What?.
What's the matter?.
Pipo, send her off.
Do you want Mom to storm at us?.
Make her go home!
We're not doing anything!
Babygirl?.
Babygirl!
Okay fine! I give up! I'm leaving!
-Here, I'm taking all my things! -Brother, the only reason why l...
I don't care about your explanation, asshole!
-Send her out! -I don't care if it didn't happen!
-I'm leaving... -Hey, you retards!
Open the door!
I know you're still awake!
Boboy! Pipo! Open it!
It's Mommy!
-We're dead! -Open!
What are we going to do?.
-Go away now! There! -How about this?.
I know you're still inside!
-Wait a minute! Wait! -We have to hide this, Brother!
Faster!
-Use the window! The window! -How am I going to enter that?.
-Make it fast! -It's too high!
Pass through this window! Put in your head first, then your body and feet!
I'll smash this door down if you don't open up!
Why are you in a rage?.
Get out of the way!
Mommy, what's the problem?.
What sort of miracle are you o doing here?.
Nothing!
Pipo and I were just talking about some...
Things!
It took so long before you opened the door!
Oh! We didn't hear it.
What?.
I've been banging that door for so long!
Mommy, what are you doing?.
Then, why?.
Shut up!
Mom, please!
Can we just do this tomorrow?.
We're so sleepy!
It's already past two!
We're so sluggish, please.
Leave that for tomorrow!
Wait, are you rushing me?.
Are you keeping a secret in here?.
Nothing!
What could Pipo and I keep a secret?.
We have really nothing to hide.
So Mom, are you happy now?.
You didn't find anything, look!
That's because you're alays paranoid!
You little pests! Don't ever try to fool me!
Because the moment...
Can you just give your speech tomorrow?.
-We're very sleepy! -He's right Mom.
-Save the speech tomorrow. -We are going to sleep now.
-I'm sleepy. -Wait a minute, what's this?.
Where did this come from?.
Who owns this?.
Don't tell me it's yours!
That is not mine!
Whose bra is this?. Who?.
Ouch!
Hey!
Who are you?.
Hello Ma'am! Good Evening!
Are you sure you're okay, girl?.
Oh, I'm okay now!
I'm just going to wait...
for the next big surprise of my life!
You're a shameless woman!
Vivian! I'm sorry!
Bro, stop Mommy!
You're a pest, go away!
-What now?. -Wait! Wait a minute Mommy.
Go inside!
You're so stupid! You brought a girl home!
You're bringing a girl inside your room!
-You don't... -Go inside!
-Come on inside! -You don't understand me, Mommy!
Hey! Babygirl!
Why are you there?. What time is it?.
Go inside!
-Hey Sis, Mom said, go inside! -And you young lady!
You too!
The next time I see you here...
I will have you arrested!
My son is just a minor!
You're such a flirt!
Get inside! Go!
Go! Get back inside!
Hey you!
Go home!
-Go home! -We got in trouble because of you!
Ma'am!
Do you want coffee?.
Yes, please.
Wait a minute.
-Coffee! Fast! -Yes, Ma'am!
Did you see what your brother did last night?.
He brought a girl here at our house!
I caught them!
They were hiding a girl inside the room!
Mom, please!
Can I just wake up without hearing you shout?.
Your mouth is like a loud speaker!
Are you mad at me?.
All I'm saying is...
Is it okay that for once in my life...
Can I have breakfast without your rants against the world?.
Can you blame me?.
Your brothers...
Mom, I know!
And if that happened, it's all your fault!
Am I at fault for your brother's promiscuity?.
Mom, they are boys!
Even if you chain them up in bed...
they would still be chasing girls.
That's what you have to understand, Mom.
That it is the simple fact of life.
Your youngest brother,
is taking a girl to his room!
You know, Mom...
You should be more confused...
if your son brings home another boy!
Hey, Babygirl!
Don't you ever retort to me like that!
That attitude you have in America,
has no place here in the Philippines!
What you're showing is disrespect!
Mom, I'm not being rude!
Just because I'm against what you're saying,
doesn't mean I lack respect.
Look at this lady's manners!
So rude! Babygirl!
Everyone's going crazy because of you!
What?.
I'm your mother!
And you're telling me to shut up?.
You're impolite Babygirl!
I don't like being called "Babygirl"'!
You're imprudent!
You're an ill-mannered, disrespectful woman!
Ma'am...
You too!
Will you get out of my face?.
You're a menace in my life!
My dear.
Maybe it was too early in the morning...
when you started ranting at her!
You know how it is in America.
The children...
have the right to argue...
with their parents!
Why?. Is she in America?.
She ate "pandesal" for breakfast!
There's no such thing in America!
If she doesn't like me, then I don't like her either!
If she can't stand her mother,
She can go back to America!
A don't care what she does with her life!
Okay!
Haven't I told you to clean the bathroom foor?.
How many times do I have to tell it to you?.
So it wil seep into your brain?.
Yes, Ma'am!
You keep on saying "yes" but you're not doing it!
Where have you left your brain?.
Get lost! You're a pain in the neck!
-Go away! -Yes, Ma'am!
Oh, well!
What a splendid life it is for someone out there!
What's too much for an initiative,
to make just a little move...
and help out around the house!
I thought, there are no...
maids in America?.
Hey! You lazy!
Ma'am...
Your mom is asking...
if you will be eating lunch here.
Ma'am!
What are you doing?.
Are you leaving?.
What is this all about?.
What are you doing there?.
Well, Karen has settled everything.
I will be staying in the hotel for the meantime.
While I'm waiting for my ticket to America.
So, that's just how it's going to be?.
You will suddenly pack up...
move to a hotel...
and leave all of us here?.
What do you think of this place?.
A boarding house?.
Hey you!
Will get out of here?.
You're such a nosy!
I'm no longer pleased...
with the way you act young woman!
Now you have the nerve to get mad at me?.
When you're the one who lacks respect
for your own mother!
I know you'll get hurt for what I'm going to do.
What "work"?.
You're the one who doesn't want to work!
You don't want to work!
Well, fine!
I don't want to live in your house anymore!
And I went back to the Philippines,
when I learned about the truth.
Who my real mother is.
You're not happy?.
You're not happy that I am your mother?.
Is that so?
Now that you know who I am,
you want to go back to America?.
Because what?.
You didn't like what you saw?.
Well then, I also want you to know.
That I didn't like what I saw in you either!
You are so conceited!
Arrogant!
Flirt!
And most of all...
Selfish!
You think just because you came from America...
You can look down on us?.
Hey Baby girl!
You're not a good daughter!
You may be my mother,
but you gave me away when I was a baby!
And, in your language...
I can say that you're thickfaced for saying that!
You are not a good mother!
Ouch.
Hey!
What happened?.
Why did she leave?.
I don't know.
Where's Mommy?.
She locked herself up in her room.
So when are you coming back to the States?.
What else do I have to tell her?.
Pipo, what's the matter?
Why is your mother going hysterical?.
Our sister already left the house.
Then, where is she?.
She's up there in her room.
She's been melodramatic for hours...
and is getting herself drunk.
How wil she get drunk when she doesn't even drink?.
Oh my! Let's go!
She might totally lose her mind and kill herself!
Oh dear no, she's so scared of dying.
Even if she's a mouthy troublemaker,
she is really terrified of dying!
Come on!
I said give it to me and stop it!
-Stop showing me all these drama! -You don't care! This is mine!
Just don't butt in!
Why are you acting like that anyway?.
-Give that to me! -It's mine.
-This is mine! -I said give it to me.
-Just give it to her! -Why would I give it to her?.
We still have another drum of diesel.
It's all yours!
You are such an asshole!
Do you want me to die?.
What kind of friend are you?.
Isn't that what you want?.
Just because your daughter left you,
you're already acting like that?.
That shameless person!
She walked out on me.
And even said mean and hurtful words!
Oh! How about you?.
Didn't you realize?.
That your tongue is just as sharp...
everytime you 're nagging!
You're so sensitive with what people say to you...
But you're not even thinking...
when your mouth wouldn't stop talking too!
Just accept it if she leaves!
It's better off that way.
What's better about this?.
Well at least, now you know,
what kind of child was brought there to America.
Just let her be!
If she doesn't like you,
don't keep on pushing yourself to her!
Are you okay now, dear?.
I have something to show you...
it's for a very low price!
Just two carats!
You greedy fag.
I'm driving myself crazy here!
You still keep on selling?.
You know...
For me...
I just want to make you happy.
That's all!
But if you don't like it...
then, don't!
Let me see?.
Are you mad at me?.
No.
I was just busy in school.
Maureen, even if you're busy in school,
you always managed to reply.
You know, it's been o days.
It's as if you're ignoring me.
Don't tell me you're out of load.
Boboy, I'm getting tired of this.
My Mom won't leave me alone.
Because your Mom doesn't like me...
Then, you're staying away from me too?.
Boboy, it's not like that.
But Maureen, I thought...
Please, not this time?
You're not the problem. But it's...
Because of my Mom?.
It's because of my Mom that's why...
you don't like me, is that so?.
My Mom doesn't like you.
Your Mom doesn't like me too.
They wouldn't stop bickering.
We're the ones going crazy just like them.
You understand me, don't you?.
Why are you mad at me?.
Do you really have to ask that?.
After I went home wearing...
only your brother's shirt and my underwear,
you're asking why I don't want to see you?.
But it's not my fault, it's my Mom's.
Exactly!
Your war-freak mother!
You know what?.
I can face any kind of crazy person out there!
But your Mom?.
She's even worse than a mad dog!
Oh! Look at that!
Pipo has a date!
He's a young man now!
He already knows how to get the girls!
Hey, Pipo!
Does your Mom know you like girls?.
Look at that...
Just don't mind those people!
Hey! What are you telling your chick?.
Are you courting that girl you're with that's why,
you're acting tough around us now?.
What is your problem?.
Hey, retards!
We have our own business here,
so stop messing around, will you!
This chick with Pipo is even tougher than him!
You really are deranged!
What the hell is your problem?.
Oh! You're so snobbish!
What are you so proud of, anyway?.
-You're not even that pretty! -Why?. Are you good looking?.
That's enough!
Little boy is trying to be a man!
What?.
Why Pipo, are you going to call your mom?.
Stop it!
You're all morons! Enough! Stop it!
Sir! Sir, its Pipo!
There's so much blood!
What happened to you?.
Your brother was assauted!
Who did this to my brother?.
This is nothing, Bro.
Nothing?.
Look! Your face is filled with bruises!
Who are they?.
Those three bastards out there aimed at us!
Who are they?.
What's the problem here?.
Why?.
Pipo, my God!
Oh dear, just relax...
-Don't be so ill-tempered. -Why do you look like that?.
Did you get into a fight?.
-Oh no, it's because... -Wait! I'm not talking to you.
What happened to you?.
Why do you ook like that?.
Who did that to you?.
Answer me!
I'll hit you if you keep your mouth shut!
-Just answer her! -I'm going to beat you if you don't answer!
-Those three guys right there... -Who are those three?.
-Oh it's... -ls it Godo and those crooks?.
Where are those bastards?.
Where are those assholes?. Bring them out here!
Dear! ear!
I think we should make a report first.
It's my son who got assaulted,
and I'm obliged to make a report?.
Stupid! Asshole! Shut your mouth!
Those animals!
-There they are! -Give that to me!
Come out here!
Where do we go now, buddy?.
You animals!
Let me see how tough you are!
You gutless stupid idiots!
Asshole! Bastard!
You're an asshole! You pest!
-Slowly! It hurts! -Now, you see?.
Look what you ended up!
That's because of your stupidity!
Now, what?
You know what it's like to be beaten...
by those crooks al over the street!
by those crooks all over the street!
But Mom, I didn't start the fight.
-It's them who... -Because you won't get rid of that girl!
Wait up, why are you blaming me?.
I was the one harassed by those jerks!
You got harassed, but it's my son who got hit!
Mommy, enough please?.
The reason we're always bullied by these people,
is because of you!
What?.
You are blaming me?.
Yes, you!
Because you squabble with everybody!
Everybody finds you arrogant.
That's why Brother and I gets all the payback!
You're even worse than those three retards!
If it wasn't for me,
Will you get your revenge?.
You don't need to get involved in our brawls.
We're guys!
Boboy, did you hear that?.
Did you hear what your brother is saying?.
Pipo is just telling the truth, Mom.
Everybody's grudge for you...
are being passed down to us.
They get back at us.
All the hatred for you...
are handed down to us.
And then...
You're wondering, why our sister left this house?.
It wasn't even a week yet, but she already got sick and tired of you.
In fact, Pipo and l...
have turned numb of your insanity!
You're all pests!
You've been infected by your sister's ingratitude!
Mom, here you go again.
You're not listening!
This isn't about what we owe you.
Mommy, give us a better reputation.
We're grown ups now.
He have our own minds.
And please don't humiliate us in front of many people.
What are you trying so say?.
Now that you've grown beards and body hair,
you don't need me anymore?.
You don't have to look after us like puppies.
You're not the only one who has a mind in this family
just because you're our mother.
-Excuse me, I'll go... -Stay there!
Listen to what I'm going to tell you!
It's better to have a witness.
From this day on...
Bear in mind that starting today...
I won't dive a damn anymore!
Nothing!
Do whatever you want with your life!
To hell with you both! Pests!
Ma'am?.
Ma'am!
What's the schedule of your flight?.
Her friend called me up.
She said...
the doctors are still observing her.
It's because she's alays grumpy even if it's early in the morning.
She keeps on shouting.
So I won't be wondering
why her blood vessel snapped...
and she got high blood.
Do you want me to go with you to visit her?.
When wil I get out of here?.
Will you keep quiet?.
But I'm feeling well. I just got dizzy.
What do you mean you got dizzy?.
When the ambulance came to pick you up,
you were lying on the floor.
Your sons were crying.
They must be crying for joy.
They must've thought St. Peter is fetching me.
Are you sure that St. Peter will be the one waiting for you?.
I'm going home.
We're not allowed yet!
We don't have the doctor's permission.
How much are we charged for this room everyday?.
My goodness!
You almost died...
But you're panicking about the hospital expenses?.
Then, how much is it?.
Three thousand a day!
Three thousand?.
I'm going home. I'm going home!
Lie down there!
-I'm going home! -Lie down!
Ma'am, just lie down.
It would be harmful for you to get up!
My goodness! I've been feeling weak all day
just for lying in this bed!
I'm going home! Where's the doctor?.
Inject her some sedative!
Those being used to tranquilize horses!
So this woman would shut up!
-Ma'am you have to take your medicine. -Don't come close to me, you lady!
I'm going to kick you!
I don't want take the medicine!
Oh my God! Please!
I will have you tied up if you don't shut up!
Let's talk to them.
Hey, what are you still doing there?.
Why don't you go inside to see your Mom?.
Your Mom's looking for you inside.
Is Mom okay now?.
Yes, she's already swearing.
Is she still mad at us, Auntie?
You know...
She will be more upset,
if you won't even watch her while she wallows inside her room.
So you better get inside the room.
Act sweet around her.
She'll give in!
Let's go now. I still have to sell jewelry.
Come on.
What?.
You go first.
Yes. I'm still alive.
Don't worry.
You're not yet orphans.
What are you looking at?.
What?.
Are you being remorseful?.
For all the things you told me,
that's why I'm in the hospital right now?.
Is your conscience haunting you now?.
For what you did to your mother?.
It's just right!
Come here.
Now, what?
You come close!
Do you see these things injected on your mother's body?.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Fine!
You retards!
Come here!
You two are such a pest!
Don't do that again, okay?.
-Yes. -Yes, Mommy.
Okay.
Your maid said you're on the way home.
That's why I waited for you.
I heard what happened your Mom.
My Mom told me.
The people who hate her must be happy.
Thinking they finally got even with my Mom.
Come on, Boboy.
My Mom really got worried.
She thought your mother is dead.
She's really terrified of ghosts!
You know what?.
It'll be tough to destroy my Mom.
She's even tougher than us.
I know.
I just wanted to make sure that
you are okay.
And if you need something...
just let me know.
Okay, you get a rest now.
Wait!
Have you eaten dinner?.
I haven't had dinner yet.
I didn't like their food in the hospital.
I already had dinner, but
if you are alone
I'll go with you.
Okay.
I need to say goodbye to her.
Are you okay?.
I'm okay, still breathing.
Can we talk?.
Okay, it's fine...
Is it okay if...
the two of us talk without other people around?.
Let's go out first.
So the o of them can talk.
Hey! Don't go home, okay?.
Just wait outside the room.
And then?.
We're alone here now.
What are we going to talk about?.
Would you please let me speak first?.
Because if you'll talk too, you would not understand me.
I'm listening.
Because I'm coming back to America.
That's it.
And I also want to say that...
Wait.
Are you saying sorry to me?.
I'm not yet done.
But you're apoogizing to me?.
You answer my question!
I'm saying sorry to you, okay?.
Why are you mad?.
Is there a mad person saying sorry?.
You know what, Mom.
And I realized that whatever I do,
you are still my mother!
That's why...
But the only problem is,
I've realied...
Because you really are my mom!
So we'll be having a clash, and arguments.
Because we're both crazy, right?.
The reason why I came to Manila
is to finally meet you!
Because you're my mom!
If I didn't meet you.
Dear, I didn't understand, everything that you said.
So, is that already your apology?.
I'm saying sorry for everything I've done to you.
Do you understand?.
I missed you so much Babygirl!
I still have a favor to ask from you.
What is it?.
I thought you're already in America?.
Oh, it was cancelled.
Are you going make me sign more documents?.
I brought someone to talk to you.
Who?.
Hey Mom! You talk here first, okay?.
I'll leave you for a while.
Why do look so scared of me?.
I'm not going to beat you.
Let's talk.
Your house stinks!
Come here and let's talk.
Come on!
The line in security check is so long.
Please come back here.
You know your Mommy.
She will miss you!
We'll take care of her.
Oh, Mom...
Don't cry, okay?.
Dear, I'm not going to cry.
My make-up will get smudged.
What, dear?.
You're going to cry now?.
No, I'm not going to cry!
I'm really not going to cry.
Wow! Your apartment is so beautiful!
What a very nice view!
It's so beautiful!
I'll live here with you Babygirl!
