Are you following me, Eric?
How would I know this is where you bring your family?
I've been coming here for a long time because of fond memories.
OUR memories
Stop it, Eric. Stop talking about the past. That's finished. Long time ago. GET A LIFE!
What's wrong with you? You push me away as if we did not share times together...
I don't want to be tainted by your perversion. I am cured now. Lally cured me.
I beg you. Stay away from me.
What you really need is closure. So you can put a proper end to your past.
Otherwise, Eric will not stop bugging you.
Stay away from him. Just forget him.
If there was a switch to turn him off, I would have done it a long time ago.
Stop chasing him. He is NOT worth it.
He was referred by Vicky's friend
- But Eric insisted that I tell you first. There are many other architects here. - Why him?
Because I saw his award-winning designs so he is the one I really want.
I know it's you who pushed Vincent to build the house.
Because you want to prove that he listens to you now
Think what you want. We have decided And you can not stop us.
Let's just see about that.
If we want to forget about each other, how can we do so if we keep meeting?
I won't get involved. Lally's in charge But, please, just say YES to this one.
- Because, if you refuse now, she'll start asking questions. - I'll do it...
Thank you. I'm sure Lally is going be very happy.
Mom, Dad. Can we talk?
Yes, Lally, what did you want to tell us?
I just want to apologize....
I know you were shocked with our decision to build our own house...
I hope you won't take it like we don't want to live with you
or we want to take the kids away from you
But, isn't it the same? Stop pretending, Lally.
I know you want to put us off from Vincent and the kids.
Mom, that is not true!
We just really want to try living on our own,
so we won't be relying too much on you
We may have moved but you're welcome to see the kids anytime
and we would also come here to visit you
Thanks for the explanation Lally.
At least, now, we understand you better.
Don't tell me you're going to side with this woman?!
Our family will be broken apart because of her!
Hon. You're over reacting.
Over reacting?!!
YES! You heard Lally...... we can still see the kids.
The hell I care! Do what you want!
I don't matter in this house anyway!
Don't mind her too much, Lally.
She'll come to her senses when she has calmed down. Okay?
You look very tired from work, Daddy.
I know what will ease that.... "A special backrub with love!"
That's why I'm always in a hurry to be home, so I can feel the touch of your love..
Hmm! Stop pulling my leg!
Wait.... Have you spoken with Eric?
Yeah. Yes.
And....???
Well, he has agreed to take charge of our dream house.
Yes! You're good! I told you you'd be the one who can convince Eric.
Did you do what I said? You and Eric have patched up things?
Yes. We're ok now.
You see!
Don't burn bridges especially of the people who's been part of your life.
Just look at me.... and Mommy
Because of her anger with me and Evelyn, until now, she's refused to see us....
Oh, mommy, please don't cry....
Enough, let's not talk about it ok? Come here.....
- Hmmm. Are you ok now? - Yes. Because you hugged me.
- But we still have one problem, daddy. - Problem?
Your dad is ok with our decision to move out. But your mom is still mad at me.
She thinks I'm keeping her away from you and the kids....
Why did you accept Vincent's proposal?
Son, have you become a masochist?
Don't you think that you will just get hurt with what you agreed to do?
You've been really stubborn. Didn't I tell you not to take this project?
He begged me, what else can I do?
Then, you should've said "NO!". End of discussion.
Ma, I can't do that. We go a long way back. I can't refuse him just like that!
You didn't refuse him because the truth is,
You still want to be in contact with Vincent.
Don't try to fool me son. I know that so very well.
Ma, Vincent and I have an agreement,
I'll only see Lally during the whole construction period.
And Vince promised he won't show up or interfere.
So, if he's not around, how can I get hurt?
Wow. Eric. So,
You'll be best friends with your ex's wife?
Is that it?
My God!
Wait a minute, there is a saying... wait, hang on, what is it again...
Keep your friends close.... but keep your enemies (more) closer!
Look, I know you're all concerned...
I got everything under control, okay?
I know exactly what I'm doing. I can take care of myself.
Just promise me one thing.
Once you feel like you're getting hurting.
Leave the project. Resign, if you must. Do you understand me?
Ma, how much have you drank? It's midnight and you're still drinking...
I want to get drunk.
So that when I lie down, I'll fall asleep easily.
So I won't have to think about the days left with you and my grandchildren...
Who said you won't be with us, Ma?
We'll have a new house, but we'll stay one big family
No! Vincent! Your wife is destroying my family!!!
She's taking you away from me!
She is taking away my only son, my son whom I love the most
Oh, mom, stop thinking like that. Lally has no bad intention.....
Mom, remember that wherever I may be,
whatever happens, I am still your son..
I will not stop loving you,
because I will always be your one and only son, okay?
Mom....
Stop thinking like that, mom....
I will miss you so much, son....
- I want a masters bedroom with walk-in closet. - Okay.
A playroom for my kids that Vincent can also use as an office...
....and I want a big kitchen! That's it. I'll be satisfied.
Women want the same things in a house: a walk-in closet and a big kitchen
Don't worry, after we have surveyed the lot
I'll work on the initial layout so you and Vince can review it
How long will the construction take?
I guess it will take 8 to 10 months
Oh. Too bad it won't be ready for our wedding anniversary.
It will be in six months time and it's a real shame
Wow... I didn't know that's how long you two have been married.
Is it obvious in my smile that I'm still thrilled?
I'm so lucky to have Vincent in my life....
He's very sweet and so loving....
He truly is the best husband in the world!
What about you? How long have you been together with your wife?
Oh, Lally...
I'm not yet married...
Seriously!?!
You're so handsome and successful!
If I weren't married, I'd surely go after you.
But, seriously, why are you still unmarried?
Uhm... Because...
Well, I had a relationship before...
I thought that we will be together for life...
But, we didn't end up together...
Because... That person loves someone else.
Don't lose hope, Eric... don't worry, I'll be praying for you.
and I'll pray that your love will wake up
so she'll realize that you are meant to be together
Eric said our land is in a good location
Facing the morning sun... So that's good luck also...
It's amazing, he's not only an architect He also knows Feng Shui.
Vincent, who's this Eric anyway? Is he really good?
And why is Lally dealing with him? The house design might not come out good.
You don't remember Eric?
Eric del Mundo, Vincent's best friend in high school
The name does not ring a bell.
I don't think Vincent introduced him to us.
Dad, that's because I never really took any friend here at home
They were all scared because you were a General in the army.
Well, it's nice that you've reconnected.
Why don't you invite him and his family over so your kids will have new playmates
Actually, Ma, Eric is single. His love life is so sad. His girlfriend left him before.
Just like Uncle Dave, mommy? Like Eric, they are not Dads?
Baby munchkin, it's not nice to butt in on adult's talks. Eat your food. Come on.
I'm sorry
- Vincent. - Yes, Dad?
I'm just thinking.
It seems... All of your friends are still bachelors. Am I right?
Not all of them, Dad. Stanley is married with kids.
If Vincent and Eric are of same age, he'd be 31 too, right?
How long will he play a martyr? Bollocks!!!
Why doesn't just he look for another girl? Right, Vincent?
Sometimes it's like that. Maybe, he's still madly in love with his ex
There are people who just cannot move on with their life if they lose their love.
Just like me. I do not think I can live if I ever lose your son
Wait. Why are we talking about love life here?
The kids are here, Come on, let's eat!
Why would you still chase after me? You've got Danny already.
We both have our own love now. So, let's start over again, as friends.
You're so annoying, bessy. You know I like Eric very much.
Why didn't you take me to the ocular inspection?
Aren't you dating the pilot? I thought you two are still together.
No, He's gone. Please forget him.
Poor as a rat, bald as an egg. No, I don't like that.
What I want are young, fair-skinned, manly, smells nice, handoms, like Eric!
Ow, sorry sorry!
You won't have a chance with Eric, okay?
Your charms won't work with him and he's a good guy
Excuse me, Miss Agatep. Only gays can resist my allure, right miss?
Wait.... don't tell me you're doubting Eric like you suspected David?
Impossible. No man can be gay if he's that manly and handsome.
Don't be too sure!
I know of macho and handsome guys who have... Boyfriends!
We live in a different time now, Lally.
Gay men who are straight-acting have better market value.
Think about it!
If a gay man is not out but straight-acting, very manly,
he's more trusted at work and more accepted by people.
As much as he can, he will project a manly, straight-acting image.
But they are never truly happy. They always live with fear and insecurity.
They cannot be openly proud of the person they truly love.
So they often get left behind and they end up being alone,
And miserable.

There!
- Mom, I can do that on my own. - I know, but I want to do it myself.
I don't want you to get used doing everything alone.
What I want is for you to remember that someone else is taking care of you.
Why, ma? You got me another date?
Yes. My sorority sister's son. He's gay, like you.
He's sent you Facebook invites but you have not accepted it yet.
Ma, I got no time for dates. I don't even have time for Facebook.
I'm busy with my career. Very busy with this house project, okay?
Which one? Vincent's house?
Has the construction already begun?
Ground breaking. Today, we start digging the foundation of the house.
So you'll see each other again?
I doubt it.
Vince promised he will not get involved with the construction.
He won't even come and see me, even if it's important.
That's good.
Along with the house you're building, I also want you to build your pride, son.
And when you start the foundation of the house,
I also want you to build your own foundation for your own life too okay?
One that is not controlled by your love for Vincent.
Come, please be careful.
Slowly...
Sis, this the land where we will build the house
Oh my... It's so vast...
This is a prime area... It must be very expensive.
Not really, sis. We've been paying this off for a long time.
- Eric! - Hi!
- I would like you to meet my sister, Evelyn. - Hi, Eric. Hello.
Of course, you know Vicky already.
My in-laws, retired General Armando Soriano and Mrs Elaine Soriano.
- Hello, hijo, it's good to meet you! - Yes, it's so nice to finally meet you!
We haven't been introduced before. Vincent and I were classmates.
I'm so happy to finally meet you.
- Is he who Vincent was talking about? - Sir, it's so nice to meet you!
Same here, son. But don't bother with the kissing.
Lally, did you bring the camera so we can have a record of this moment?
Of course. I'm always prepared. And I also brought lots of coins, too
Sis, can I have the coins? I'll put them with the foundations.
It's for good luck and for the stability of the family.
- Okay. Should I tell them to get moving? - Okay! Let's do this!
Wait!
Don't start yet! Wait for me!
I won't interfere with you and Lally. I will leave you two alone.
You won't be able to talk to me and I'll stay away.
I won't even show my face during the construction
So please, Eric, just say yes.
I thought you're busy at work? You said you can't make it. So what are you doing here?
Yes, son. You said we'll meet up laterr.
Sorry. But I just can't let this event pass by without me.
So what are we waiting for? Get started!
Alright! Photos!!!
You all look too soft. Don't be slow! Hurry up!
All men are the same! Don't generalize.
There are... Others like Vincent who are loyal and can be trusted.
Our agreement didn't change right? Friends alright?
That was my mistake Lally, I was too complacent.
If a girl showed you any interest, would you be tempted?
You are really unbelievable, I know you want to see Vincent always.
Are you telling me you are still in love with him?
Dave, don't use that word. But I'll admit.
It hurts everytime I see Eric, because I know we can't be together anymore.
- Won't Vince be dropping by? - He suddenly remembered he had a client meeting.
He's asking me to take care of everything instead.
- You know him? - That's Danny, Eric's boyfriend.
Oh no! Is he cheating on Eric?
