"Hey!" "Hey, hey, Bong!" "Look at Winona!" "Hey, look!" "Shush, do not startle her, she might fall!" " Ouch!" "Of course, I know!" " What's the matter with you?" "Will she jump to her death?" "Do you think she'll jump off?" " No." " Yes." "No." "Mr. Raul..." " Delia?" " Your daughter is up on the roof!" " My child?" " Come, have a look." "So what if she jumps off?" "She is going to die soon anyway." "No one from her mother's side survived to reach age 25." "Winona's mother died giving birth." "She was 24." "Winona's brother died at his sleep." "He was 21." "Her aunt disappeared during the Marshall Law at the age of 23." "The grandmother died during the war." "She was only 20." "The great grandmother drowned when she was only 18." "The great, great grandmother died ofMalaria." "She was only 22 then." "A dinosaur devoured their ancestor at the age of 19." "The dinosaur also died." " And here's Mr. Raul..." " My child?" "After losing his wife and son... it is no wonder why he worries no end for daughter Winona." "Winona?" "Dad, I'm still alive." "But aside from Mr. Raul, Bong also has a big heart for Winona." "But, wait." "Where is Bong in all these?" "There he is... just like an action hero!" "And who is his sidekick?" "Me, of course!" "I give Winona free check-ups in exchange for 10% discount on my monthly rent." "It will not hurt." " I'm sorry." " It's all right." "Can you beat that?" "That's how much he loves Winona." "There is nothing Bong will not do for his love for Winona." "Unfortunately, Winona has apparently long given up on love." "I'm sorry, I do not like bald men." "I like the bald one better." "I like someone whom I can hug like a pillow." "We already have plenty of pillows in the house." "Hi!" "Gorgeous men only cause headache." "Fools!" "Why court a dying girl?" " Masochists!" "Right, Bong?" " Yes!" "Fools!" "Given up on love?" "Or is she just afraid to fall in love?" "Winona rather spends her remaining time working." "She works like a horse, that's what she does." "She tries to ready everything for her dad, and for herself." " Does it fit me?" " Of course!" " But what is it anyway?" " My funeral gown." "So, is she going to jump off or not?" "She's mine!" "She's mine!" "She's mine!" "Winona!" "I got you!" "You scared me!" "Are you really going to jump off?" "Do you want me to push you off the edge?" "Arghh... what's the matter with you?" "Why will I jump off when I only have 2 days left?" " Then what are you doing up here?" " Here." "Composing." " Composing?" "At the roof's edge?" " Hmp..." "O... o... o..." "Ahhh... just the pencil." "You worry too much." "Come." "I know someplace better where you can compose your songs - at the RCBC tower in Makati." "I won, man." "You, fools, betting over someone else's life!" "Winona's all right, Mr. Raul." "I know Bong's going to take care of things." "If you jump off this roof, you'll only hurt your toenails." "I want to be able to write a song..." " What a waste." " ...before I leave the world." "I thought my work here is done." "Anyway, Winona has only 2 days left in her life." "Baby?" "Goodbye, baby." "You scared us." "It's good you changed your mind." "I thought you were going to be just like Doc." "No, I'd rather enjoy my last 2 days." "Out of my way." " You scared us." " Wasn't it punks?" " Hey, Margs!" " Bye, Winona." "Are you leaving now?" "What else is left for me to do here?" "Doc is already gone." "By the way, I couldn't find your check-up results." "It's all right." "Don't worry, I'll mail it to you as soon as I have it." "What for?" "I only have another day to live." "Stop that!" "Why do you act that way?" "What date is it today?" "Hey, square jaw!" " The 11th." " The 11th?" "Is it the 12th tomorrow?" "No, it will still be the 11th tomorrow!" "Stupid!" " What did I do?" " Wait!" " Isn't it punks?" " What punks?" "Nothing." "Rock and roll!" "Hey, Winona!" "What?" "Ahh..." "What is this?" " A worm?" " You're wrong." " A wriggler?" " Wrong again." " I give up." " I don't know myself." "But here's another one." "That will be your last." "Bye." "Dad, this shall be my last goodnight." " Goodnight!" " Goodnight, my child." "You know what, we're just the same." "I have problem talking, and you can't talk." "All right, all right." "Just zip it." "Let's go down." "Are we ready?" " Do we have everything we need?" " Rope." "Wood planks." "Duct tape." " Stupid!" "That's masking tape!" " Sorry, here's the duct tape!" "Shhh, keep it low." "Someone might hear us." "Are you sure we're doing this?" "Winona will kill us!" "I am counting on Mr. Raul." "Let's go!" "My child?" "My child?" "Ahhh, you hurt me!" " Hey..." " Yes?" " Did they cut our supply?" " What?" "I paid our bill." "Then why doesn't it turn on?" " Dad, where's our gas tank?" " Oh, no!" "We've been robbed!" "Hmm..." " Even the knives and the can opener?" " They really did it this time." " Where are you going?" " I'll cook somewhere else." " All right." " What is this?" "Bong!" "Bong!" "Why are you keeping me in here?" "What happened?" " Hey..." " Hmm..." " Hey, Bong, let me out!" " I didn't do it!" " Let me out!" " I didn't do it!" " I even brought you breakfast!" " And who thought of this?" " Was it Sheryl?" " No." " Was it Romnick?" " It wasn't me!" " Was it Ngorks?" " Not me!" " Was it dad?" " It wasn't me." "Who did all that?" "Hey, hey...all of you!" "You were never good actors." "Look at you, Bong, your face is giving you away!" "You thought of this, didn't you?" "She guessed it!" "Admit it!" "Answer me!" "All right, I admit." "I did that to protect you." " You're safer in there." " He's right." "I agree!" "Ahh, so you think I'm safer in here?" "Are you sure?" "What if I fell?" "What if I got hit by a stray bullet?" "Or what if I hang and kill myself?" "Will you be able to save me?" "Bong, stop doing that." "We cannot cheat death." "Just leave me be!" "Come on, let's leave her." " Come on." " Let's go." "Bong, one!" "Bong Gavilla, two!" "All right, you won't help me?" "I'll stick my neck in between these slots..." " My child!" " Hey, hey, hey!" "Don't!" "Aay!" "The more you do this, the more you remind me that I only have little time left." "I lived 24 years and nothing should change in the last 24 hours of my life, right?" " All right, we'll let you out." " Let's put it down." "Get your tools." "Tools for what?" "It's just duct tape holding it together!" " Hey, Bong, you're late!" " Auntie!" "What not so important things are you busy with, hmm?" "None really, auntie." "Are you sure?" "Why did you send me a smaller amount of money this time?" "I used some to fix the gutters, auntie." "I see." "Have Romnick and Sheryl paid their rent?" "Yes, they already did." "Be careful." "Don't fall prey to their tactics." "Debts should be paid." "I know, auntie." "It's just that three of our units have been vacated." "That's why!" "You've been negligent, Bong, haven't you?" "Your plan didn't work, Bong!" "Where should I put this?" " What's the matter?" " Just put it there." " Where should I put this?" " Just leave it outside." "Bong, what's the matter?" "Hey, I heard you tried to keep Winona inside her house this morning?" "What?" "I knew it." "Bong, there you go again." "No, they're just dropping by, auntie." "Auntie, I just did that for her own good." "Tomorrow's her birthday." "When will you accept that you have no control over Winona's life." "I just pity Mr. Raul." "Winona's all he's got." "Mr. Raul will get by." "He's gotten over losing his wife and child, hasn't he?" "It's not that easy, auntie." "It's not easy being alone." "Look at you." "You easily got over losing your parents." "You're all right on your own." "That's just the way life is." "You're fine, right?" "Of course, auntie." "See?" "Well, just send me money so I can have the leaking roof here fixed." "You should go." "Bong, I'll talk to you again 2 days after, all right?" "Let's go." "All right, auntie." "I saw you, Romnick and Sheryl." " Bye, Winona." " Bye!" "Did you hear me, Bong?" "Yes, auntie." "I have to go now." "Bye!" "I miss you!" "I miss you, too." "Hey, Bong!" "Bong!" "Delia, guys, this is my last chance." "It's her last day." "All right." "Go ahead." "Romnick, doesn't your cousin have a car?" "Why me?" "I don't want any hand on your plans." "I'll tell auntie you have not paid the rent." " What color do you want?" " Royal... blue." "He just loves you." "I meant, THEY all love you." "Dad, they're too much." "Why can't they just accept it?" "It's just like the song, Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be." " Dad, let's go this way." " I can do this." "Hey, dad, wait up!" "Ahhh!" "My child?" "That motorcycle could have hit the woman!" "Are you all right?" "This song is for you, and only for you even if it's not in tune and the promises, too" "All I really want to do" "Is grow old with you" "I will make you smile whenever you are sad" "Carry you around when your arthritis is bad" "Wouldn't it be so nice" "To grow old with you?" "I will never leave your side" "Forever, for all time Every second of the day" "Every day of the month" "Even beyond year 3001" "I will do everything for you" "In and around the house, too" "I'll never grow tired of you" "Wouldn't it be nice" "To grow old with you?" "I will love you no matter what" "Even if you lose your bite" "You're the handsomest sweetheart one can ever have" "Wouldn't it be so nice" "To grow old with you?" "And this I promise you, and only to you" "My heart and my soul belongs only to you" "Just take me, only me" "I want to grow old with you" "What do you call this in English?" "Cheek." "This?" "Nose." "Cheek, cheven, and this?" "Three." "Cheek, cheven, eight." "What did you mean, three?" "Here's three thousand, Bong, our month's rent." " Dad, remember what I told you?" " Yes?" "You know where I keep our money." "You will get the rent from there." "I also put in there the money I saved for Georgie." "Hmm." "How do you say six in Tagalog?" "Anim." "How about sex?" "Anem!" " Dad, you know of my plans, right?" " Yes." "I wanted to buy you a house but I wasn't able to save enough." "I didn't have enough time." "But it's all right." "I thought it'd be better for you to stay at the tenement... so Bong and Mrs. Delia can look after you." "I am not laughing at your joke." "Enough, Winona." "Why are you in a hurry to leave us all?" "We're not yet ready for that... that's why we're doing everything we can to protect you." "I understand your concern, dad, Bong." "But don't do this to me." "I do not want a slow death." "And this turtle pace is killing me!" "I told you, dad." "If we didn't ride with Bong, we would have been here hours earlier." " Let's hurry, I'm famished!" " I'm already sleepy." "Surprise!" "Flip it over!" "Dad, hurry!" " You were a part of this, weren't you?" " Of course!" "Give it to her already." " You didn't have to do this." " And why not?" "We will prove that there is no curse and that you'll be just fine." "Thank you, really." "Don't mention it." "Don't you worry, Winona." "You'll be finally resting in a few moments." "You're not helping!" " Winona, don't mind Romnick." " It's all right." "What he meant is that after tonight, you'll never have to worry again." " That's true." " And what did I say wrong this time?" "You always say the wrong things!" "Winona?" "What happened?" "My child?" "Romnick, you didn't check on the wiring, did you?" " Go on and check the connection!" " Just a second." "The lights are on!" "That's just nothing." "The lights are back!" "That's just nothing." "It's almost midnight!" "Let's begin the countdown!" "Ten, nine, eight, seven... six, five, four, three, two..." "Winona, come here!" "Ahh!" "My child?" "What happened to her?" "Grrr..." "I'm sorry!" "Ngorks!" "Winona!" "She's alive!" "Winona is the first Benigno ever to reach 25!" "Winona is alive!" "Bong, I'm alive." "Bong, I'm alive!" "Why are you crying then?" "You're alive." " Isn't it punks?" " Rock and roll!" "Let's eat!" "Come on, let's eat now!" "Thank you, Lord." "Here's your coffee." "Bong, slap me." "Why?" "It's true." "I'm still here." "It's not a joke." "Better believe it." "You're alive, Winona." "What if I were given just a little more time?" "And that all these could end very soon?" "Move over." "What if I still die?" "Don't think that." "Don't question the Lord's plans for you." "Just be thankful that He gave you more time." "Now, apologize to Him." "Lord, I'm sorry." "I promise that I'll make the most out of my life." "You don't look it." "Promise!" "I'll make the most out of my life." "There!" "I am with you in that." "So, what do you want to do now with your life?" " Ahhh..." " Any plans?" "Ahhh..." "All right, let's think of something." "Excuse me." "Have you thought of something?" "None yet." "Let's brush our teeth first." "Sure, you already have foul breath anyway." "Look who's talking." "Good morning, Winona." " Give me back my mug." " Here" "Mom... brother..." "I guess you'll have to wait a little longer." "At least I can still bring you fresh flowers... and dad has someone with him every time he visits you." " Right, dad?" " Of course!" "Bye, sweetheart." "I'll see you again tomorrow." " Let's go and multiply!" " Multiply?" "Do you want me to divide your body into parts?" "I don't get you, dad." "You wanted me to be in love and now that I'm ready... you don't want me to anymore!" "I said fall in love, not multiply!" "Unless it's with this person I know." "And who may this be?" "Sometimes I wonder if it's me or you who's blind." "Thank you, Lord, that Winona is still with us." "Lord, why am I still here if Winona has still years to live?" "Lord, I don't want to see Doc." "Thank you, Lord." "Dad, you're it!" "Dad, you're it!" "You're it!" "Do we still have to hide from Mr. Raul?" "Let's not!" "You're it!" "Go ahead, find your hiding places!" " One, two..." " Bong, join us." "Hey, Ngorks, I can feel you." "Go and hide!" " It's already taken." " Three..." " Here, hurry!" "...four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..." "Ten!" "Hey, girl, here's my belated gift for you." "Yes, another gift." "What is this?" "A planner?" "No, it's a gift certificate so you can have your jaw chiseled." "Oh, I thought it's for your hair." "Don't you like it?" "Give it back." " Wait, I'm still looking at it." " Give it back." "There." "Don't you like it?" "I got you there, didn't I?" "Let me have it." " But, what will I do with it?" " Write your plans for your life." " Sky's the limit." " To heaven?" "Don't be like that." "Look, you're alive." "Let's just say I'm no longer around, what would you be doing right now?" "Probably having a party, complete with fireworks..." " confetti, cake, balloons..." " Wouldn't you miss me?" "No" "Of course, I will." "Hey!" "Nice!" "I'm seeing double." "You're it, Bong!" "You're it, my child!" "Dad caught us!" " It's your fault!" " What?" "It's over." "Bong is it!" "I told my daughter that I'm not the only one blind around here." "Don't be impatient." "I'll be able to give you to her soon." "Hey... hey..." "Ahhh..." "Winona!" ""l got you"" "So you'd like to play, hmm?" ""l Heart You"" ""Again?"" ""Are you still up?"" ""Asleep already."" ""Funny." "What are you doing?"" ""Writing."" ""Song?"" ""No." "Life plans."" ""Have you listed many?"" ""None yet"" ""None?" "Why?"" ""l find it difficult."" ""Need help?"" ""We'll talk tomorrow." "I'm going to sleep."" ""Tomorrow?" "What time?"" ""Night." "We have to leave in the morning."" ""Where are you going?"" ""Japan."" ""What?"" ""Just always pray at night"" ""Goodnight, Mwah."" "Today is the day." "I'll give you to her tonight." "Rey!" "Yes?" "I thought we had an agreement that you'll give all the mail to me?" "You weren't in your place." "Yes?" " Here are your mails." " Is everything in here?" "Don't you trust me?" "Hi!" "Doc, why are you still around?" "You're dead!" "I thought so too." "Then why are you still haunting this place?" "Haunting me?" " I want you to see me." " What do you need?" " Because of Winona." " What about her?" "I am here for Winona." "You're mistaken." "She's just fine." "Why, then?" "Hmm, now I remember." "You have to open this envelope." "That's Winona's and I'll not touch that." "You open it." "Why would I ask you if I could do it myself?" " I'm a ghost, remember?" " Prove you can't." " You're not lying." " Come nearer." "Hey, enough!" "All right, I believe you." "But I will still not open it." "Just open it already." "Trust me." "This may just be what I need so I can leave you in peace." "What do you know about Winona, anyway?" "Just open it so we'll both know." "All right" "I'll open it now so you can stop bugging me." "Lupus." "Right, now I remember it!" "I am here to tell you Winona has lupus." "Lupus?" "Lupus is a disease similar to aids." "It weakens the immune system... and eventually affects the vital organs of the body." "Lupus is fatal." "You will only know when Winona suddenly goes." "What is this?" "Your medical results." "You're dying." " I give up." "I want to die." " Winona!" "Hey, what's the matter with you?" " I'm sorry." "What was it?" " Look, I've written down quite a lot... but I still want you to fill in the remaining pages, okay?" " Yes." " Are you game?" " Yes." " All right." "Spill it." " What?" " What you've been hiding from me." "I am not hiding anything from you." "Of course, you are." "I know you too well." "What is it?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Are you not feeling well?" "You seem not yourself." " What?" "You're just imagining things." " Hay, hmm..." "What is this?" "Superman." "This?" "Superfriends." "How about this?" "My hand!" "Hey, what's the matter?" "Let's go!" "All right." "Stop being a drama king." "You had your chance to tell her and you chose to lie." " I did not lie." " You didn't tell either." "I couldn't." "Get out of there." "You have to tell her." "She has the right to know because it is her life." "I know." "But she also deserves to enjoy whatever time she has left." "If there's one person who'll do anything to make sure she does..." " And that's you?" " Yes." "Stop being melodramatic." "Have you forgotten I died because of Winona?" "How?" "Good question." "How did it happen?" "If I didn't read Winona's blood work results..." "I wouldn't have choked and died." "If I tell her about her condition, what's in it for you?" "Don't you get it?" "She'll not be able to prepare." "I may fail in my mission if she does not go with me." "I'm sorry, doc." "Unless, I am 100% sure about Winona's illness... she'll not hear a thing about it from me." "After all, there may still be hope." "Get out of there." "Excuse me, miss?" "Sir?" "Excuse me." "Doc, would you mind taking a look at this?" "It's my friend's." "It's Lupus." "If it has affected her kidneys, she might not live for long." "That's what I told him but he wouldn't believe." "Shush...hey!" "There's an ongoing experiment on a procedure in Berlin that might work." "But there are no guarantees." "Why have I not heard about that?" "It's new." "I myself didn't know about it." "Doc, are you able to hear him?" "Of course." "Just remember these." "It's important for her to not be stressed out." "She also needs healthy diet." "And most importantly, she has to stay out of the sun." "How long do you think she'll be around?" "She may have a year, a month, a week or a day." "She may be gone tomorrow or today just like me." "Doc is gone!" "He's gone!" "Doc?" " What did he die of?" " Liver complications due to lupus." "Just accept that he's gone." "Do you believe me now?" "It's a good thing that we have work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays." "I'll check with Mr. Jerry if he can take us in again to play at his place..." "Tuesdays and Thursdays." "Of course, my child." "They like us there." "I'll also see if I can do solo gigs on weekends in Malate." "Excuse us, sir." "What do you mean?" "You do not have to work as hard as before." "We cannot afford to take it easy, dad." "How will I be able to buy Georgie?" "And how about the house I want for you?" " Excuse us" " But I am happy at the tenement, my child." " There's my Georgie!" " What is it?" "You look so handsome, Georgie!" "Nilds?" "Nilds?" "Here, dad." "Winona, you're here again!" "Why don't you just buy it?" " Why don't you just buy it?" " Georgie!" "Please handle it carefully!" "Mark the price down!" "I do not have enough money yet." "I doubt that, it's a collector's item." " Wait." " When will you be mine, Georgie?" "Take a look at this." "Why don't you audition for Japan?" "My friend is a recruiter." "The first group of people had left..." " we're auditioning for the second group." " Japan!" "I know they pay big!" " And then you can finally buy Georgie!" " Yes, dad!" "But how about you?" "I can't just leave you." "What's the problem?" "For a time we worried about you leaving me permanently." "Now, It's just Japan, and I know you'll be back in no time." "Of course!" "And Georgie will be mine!" "Bong, hurry!" "If Bong hears about this opportunity, dad, I know he'll be just... as happy and excited as I am." "I doubt that, my child." "Where did all these come from?" " Hmm?" "I..." " Auntie Lolit sent these over for you." "She said they're good for your health." "Really?" "Look, dad, Auntie Lolit gave us lots of fruits and vegetables." "They're not for you, Ngorks!" "Haven't you had enough?" "Don't be selfish?" "Didn't I help you buy these?" "Who?" "All these are Winona's." "It's all right, there's plenty for everybody." "Are you done?" "Bring this in." "Where were you and Mr. Raul?" "It was a scorcher today." "I dropped by to see Georgie again." "Look at this!" "Ta-da!" "What is this?" "Japan." " You want to work in Japan?" " Yes!" "Isn't it big time?" "Big time?" "You'll earn as much if you worked here." "How long?" "After 30 years?" "We can make it in 10 years!" "I'll help you!" "How?" "I'll join your group." "I'll dance." "I'll sing." "You, sing?" "Yes, I will!" "Ahh..." "can't hurry love..." "So, you'll not let leave then?" "I still have to go." "What's the matter with you?" "You have work here." "And how about auntie Lolit?" "She may not send you fruits again, so you'll not be able to give us any." "How about Mr. Raul?" "Who will look after him?" "That's what you're here for." "I know you'll take care of him while I'm away." "It'll only be a few months." "Dad is even more excited than I am, right, dad?" "Of course!" "The Japanese should hear my daughter sing!" " Hmm." " I'm just worried." "What if something happens to you?" "You have no one there to look after you... unlike here." "You might think of something "punks" to do there." "I can take care of myself." "I'll be back home like I never left." " Just try to understand, please?" " All right." "But can't you just stay?" "Bong, can we just stop arguing about this?" "All right." "Rock and roll!" " Here is your audition schedule." " Go ahead, Roland, give me the schedule." "On Tuesday, come between 9 and 12 noon." "On Wednesday, 3-6pm." "Thursday, 9-12 noon..." " Friday, 8-11am." " Yes." "Monday is the last day for the auditions." "Were you able to write it down ?" "Yes." "Thank you, Roland." "I'll see you!" "Yes, sir?" " I'm sorry to bother you" " No, sir." "No, not at all." "I just want to remind you of the audition schedule we have." " All right, the 21st, 9-12 noon." " Do your best." "I'll practice for it." "Bye!" "What are you doing?" "Helping Winona live longer." "Playing God?" "I will do my best, and God will take care of the rest." "What's up?" "We're playing chess." "Just kidding." "Come, join us." "I can't." "I have an audition to go to at 9 o'clock." "It's still early." "Besides, this can help your breathing." "Come on!" "Yes, it can be good for you." " Really?" " Let's go!" "All right." "Let's go!" "One, two..." "I quit." "Thank you." " Oh, no, I'm late for the audition." " You're late?" " So that's your plan." " What am I going to do?" " Just try another time." " That's not nice, my friend." "Don't you want one of your wishes come true?" "Of course, but not today." "I have an audition." "We'll be back before 12." " Promise?" " I promise!" "Screaming" "Let's go there!" "Oh, no, we're both hoarse!" "Oh, no!" "How will I sing in the audition?" "I'm sorry." "No, it' not your fault." " Isn't it punks?" " Let's go!" "Rock and roll!" "Hey, children." "Hey, Winona, I'm not done putting sunblock on you." "Hurry!" "I want to use the floaters." "Wait up!" "Hey, Delia, weren't your children unwell recently?" "They may pass it on!" " Winona, get out of there." " Let's go, children." " What's the matter?" " Let's do something else." "Done!" "Yes!" "Good morning!" "Breakfast time!" "What's that?" "Food." "It doesn't look appetizing." "Don't be choosy." "Go ahead and eat it." "Why don't you try it first?" "You're such a baby!" "Eat it." "Try it first." "You don't like it yourself, don't you?" "What's the matter with you?" "This is delicious." "Hmm." "It doesn't look delicious." "Try it." "All right, I'll try it." " Don't you want to be the first to try it?" " You go first." " Delicious." " Hmm." "It's your turn." "No, I can't miss another audition." "Bong" "Bong, why did you slam the door on me?" "I was just in briefs." " I've seen whatever you're hiding." " Well, he's all grown up now." "Are you feeling better now?" "A bit." "My audition is on Monday... and I cannot miss it." "Bong, why is my Japan dream elusive than it seems?" "It seems out of my reach now." "It's the first time I've wanted something so much... and it's the first time I've believed I can achieve my dream." "Hmm." "Stop crying." "What is this?" "Superman." "And this?" "Superfriends." "How about this?" "What's that?" "My hand!" "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." "I'll find a way." "We'll ask the Lord's help." "I promise." "What is this?" "My armpit hair!" "Where's my coffee?" "Lord, I pray that Winona may always be by my side." "Allow me to take care of her." "You know if I only could, I'd give her everything she wants." "Just not Japan." "I hope to go to Japan." "I thank you for Bong." "I hope You grant him whatever he wishes for." " I love you, Lord!" " I love you, Lord!" "I love you..." "Lord." "I love you, Lord." "I love you, Lord." "Wasn't it great?" "Winona, I can't hold on any longer." "I have to go." "What?" "We're almost there, try to hold it in!" "I can't!" "I have to use the restroom now!" " Wait!" "Wait!" " Excuse me!" "How embarrassing!" " Let me go!" "Have a seat, order something!" " Hurry!" "I'd like brewed coffee." "I'm sorry, I thought you were serving." "It's all right." "I didn't mean to bother you." "It's just that my cards seem to like your companion." "You do fortune-telling?" "Isn't it obvious?" "Yes, it's obvious." "But my friend is still in the restroom." "Can you read my fortune?" "Of course." "Choose a card." "Go ahead, ask one question you want to know the answer to." "Will my plans of going to Japan materialize?" "Yes." "And you'll go places." " Excuse me, ma'am?" " I'll order later." "Really?" "What can you see about my lovelife?" "The cards are favorable." "Is he handsome?" "He's kind." "No doubt about it." "And you already love this person." "In fact, you've loved him for a long time." "I beg your pardon?" "And he also loves you." "He loved you for a long time." "But there's a problem." "You are blind, and he's mute." "His pure white heart contrasts the black calluses on his knees." "But it's all because of you." "He can do all things because of his love for you." "Sometimes, when you love a person that much, you may see him differently." "Let's go!" "Hurry up!" "The toilet is clogged!" "Who used the toilet last?" " Hurry!" " Hold on!" "She's good with the cards!" " We don't have time for that..." " Wait, it'll be quick." "Here's my friend." "Why didn't you want to stay for the card reading?" "You know why." "I used their restroom." "We could have compared notes, you know." "Why?" "What did she tell you?" "Was it about your career, your lovelife?" "Something about your health?" "You shouldn't believe anything she said." "What if she said something true?" "Things they say can go either way." "She told me I'm blind." "See?" "Mr. Raul is the one blind." "So I do not see the one who's loved me forever." "That one is true, though." "Bong, look at me." "Who do you see?" "Rosa Rosal?" "Really now, Bong." "Miriam Defensor?" "Let's do it this way." "Close your eyes." "Just like this." "Then, slowly, open them." "Winona!" "It's you!" "Really?" "Are you sure you do not see me differently?" "No." "It's just you." "All right, let's go now." "Mr. Raul, where is Winona?" "She left early!" "Bong, there is no water!" "Tomorrow!" "I promise!" "Finish your bath tomorrow!" "This is my stop, sir." "Here's the money." " Who are you trying to fool?" " I am a woman!" "Believe me!" "You cannot fool us." "You look like a man!" "Go out!" "Hey, what are you doing in here?" "Are you here for a job?" " I am with them." "I am a dancer." " What's the matter?" " This is off-limits to non-applicants." " Here, fill this out if you're an applicant." "Here's a pen." "You can have gigs anytime of the day." "There is no fixed time." "Even the venue changes depending on how big the show is." "Isn't that too much, Sir Roland?" "Didn't you like to earn big?" "Boss." "Boss?" "Behave, Japanese do not like whiners." "We'll be big-timers if the Japanese like us." "Won't the work wear us down there?" "It'll be all right as long as they're giving us huge tips." "Why didn't you stop me from going to Japan, Bong?" "Hi, Edgar!" "Dondeska..." "What's the matter?" "Security, stop the music and escort the singer out." "It's a man." "How embarrassing to our Japanese guests!" "Why?" "What's wrong, Mr. Hiroshi?" "You didn't like the song?" "I can also dance, sir!" " Don't hurt her!" " Bong, do something." "I'll just give you a call!" "Don't ever come back here!" "What did you tell them, Bong?" "I told them you're gay." "I didn't expect them to believe me." "Why did you tell them that?" "It was meant as a joke." "Ahhh!" " Ahhh!" " I'm sorry!" "Ouch!" "Hey!" "Winona, I'm really sorry!" "I know it was a bad joke and I'm sorry!" "Please forgive me?" "Let's get out of the rain." "We're already soaking wet!" "Why?" "Why, what?" "Why did you do it?" " Why did you ruin my audition?" " What?" "You knew how important to me this day is, didn't you?" "Of course." "It was you who even helped me prepare for this, right?" " Did I?" " Yes, you did!" "That is exactly why I cannot understand what you just did!" "Winona, believe me, this is for your own good." "I am trying to help you." "So help me understand!" "I don't get you, Bong." "Why did you do what you did?" "Because you cannot leave." "And why is that?" "Because I'll not be able to look after you." "Tell me." "Why do you have to watch over someone as old as I?" "Winona, you're right." "I am doing all these because I don't want you to leave." "I don't want you to go to Japan because..." "Because I love you." "I love you." "What?" "I cannot be miles away from you for 6 months." "I just cannot." " Is that true?" " Yes!" "I've been in love with you ever since we were 10 years old!" "Really now?" "Yes!" "You are my puppy love." "My first love." "My teenage love." "You're my one true love." "Why did you tell only now?" "You didn't want suitors." "You thought you were dying." "And when I didn't die?" "The courage to tell you died." "And why is that?" "What chance do I have?" "I am just me." "How will you know if you will not even try?" "What is this?" "That's an old joke." "This is new." "Do I stand a chance?" "If it fits." "It doesn't." "Let's go." " They're having a candle light dinner." " How sweet!" "He's here." "Why did they cut our supply?" "What happened?" "They're together." "It's so hot in here." "They had us disconnected." " What?" " Bong, didn't you pay our electric bill?" "I'm sorry." "It slipped my mind." "Hmm... he forgot." "Hey, didn't you get a notice?" "I did, but I forgot to pay." "I tried to contact you but you didn't reply to any of my messages." "I didn't understand your message." "Are you blaming me?" " I'm sorry, Ngorks." " Whatever." "Ngorks!" "Your sorry will not a change a thing." "It's still dark, and it's still hot in here." "Let's go, children." "Bong, it's the first time this happened." "What's gotten over you?" " Let's go, Romnick." " I've been busy." "But you don't do that, man." "You just don't." "Let's give Bong a break." "Sometimes I wonder how the two of us became friends." "Don't you think they had said it all?" "That I have had enough?" "You deserved it." "If you weren't too preoccupied caring for Winona... you wouldn't have missed the obligations you have." "What's next, Bong?" "I will try to make up for it." "How?" "I bet you will never have the guts to tell Winona the truth... especially now that the two of you are together." "You do not know that." "Move!" "You have to or it may turn for the worse." "Just drop it." "You have to remember that I am here for her." " Are you sure?" " No." "But why else would I be here if not for her?" "I don't know." "All I know is that I will not give her up." "As if you can do something about it." "Leave me alone." "You shouldn't be here anymore." " Go away!" " Waah!" "Fool!" "That will not work on me." "Romnick, if you will not be here soon, you're dead meat." "Hey, Winona, wait for us!" "Romnick is not yet here." " Sure." " We're here, Bong!" "Hurry!" "And don't forget the flowers." "Bong, let's go." "It's better for us to visit the dead than them visiting us." "Yes, I'm ready." "Bong." "Next time let's go to Samar and visit your parents' grave." "They might think that you have forgotten about them." "Of course." "I'll save up for that." "My parents will be happy for me." "They know I've waited 17 years for you." "What?" "It was you who didn't say anything!" "You look really sexy." "And this bag completes your mailperson look!" "Stop that!" "You're always teasing me." " Oh, wait." " I was just kidding." "Hello?" " Hello, Winona?" " Roland?" " Yes, it's me." " Why did you call?" "I have good news for you." "You're in!" "Really?" "Yes, you passed the audition." "Those Japanese liked your performance." "It's good they didn't believe what my boyfriend said." "Dad, it's Roland." "I passed the audition!" "I am going to Japan!" "Well done, my child!" "I know." "Roland, I can't hear you." "Hey, it's Roland, the recruiter." " Really?" " I'm flying to Japan." "Mr. Raul, help me." "Of course, how much do you want to borrow?" "Not with money." "Help me to stop Winona." "Why?" "She should not leave." "You cannot stop her from going for her dreams." "Why?" "You're afraid she'll trade you for a Japanese?" "I'm afraid that she might get hurt there." "That I can't look after her." "What are you trying to say?" "Winona is sick, Mr. Raul." "I already asked around about her case... and the doctors said that she will not live for long." "Her going to Japan might only worsen her condition." "Help me, Mr. Raul." "How did you get to know all these?" "I have her medical exam results." "When did you find out?" "Right after her birthday." "Mr. Raul I already did everything I could." "I even tried to sabotage her auditions..." "Winona!" "Why did you lie to me?" "You took me for a ride." "Do you think this is funny?" "That my life's just a big joke?" "No." "I planned to tell you everything... but I didn't know how to." "But when I saw you happy, I just couldn't take that away from you." "I was ready to go, Bong." "Do you know what pains me?" "That you made me believe when in fact you knew all along that my days are counted." "Because I don't want to hurt you." "And don't you think I'm hurting?" "You chose to lie to me." "You think you made me feel better then?" "Excuse me." "Mom, brother." "Your long wait will soon be over." "We will be together soon." "The good news is, I am the last Benigno." "It ends with me." "No one else will have to suffer the way we did." "It's killing me." "Help me, please." "I asked for help." "Are they home?" " Not yet." "The door's still locked." " Not yet." " Where could they be?" " It's still locked." " They're still not home." " Bong, what's the news?" "Did you find her?" "Bong, what happened?" " I didn't see her." " What happened?" "Why did you give up looking for my daughter?" " Maybe we should all look for her." " Yes, maybe we should all go." "Winona's here!" "Mr. Raul, Winona's here." " Winona, where have you been?" " What?" "I am just fine." "You didn't have to worry." " We couldn't help it." " Dad." "Delia, thank you for looking after my dad." " Don't mention it." " I stayed up all night." "I was dead worried." "You really blew it this time, Bong." " I agree." " I don't." " I do." " I don't." " I do." " I don't." " I do." " What do you want?" "I said, I agree he did wrong." "Come here." "Doc?" "Doc!" "Doc..." "Are you also mad at me?" "Like they all are?" "What do you want?" "I'm sorry." "You can not win me that easily?" "How do I prove you?" "What is this?" "Superman." "What is this?" "Superfriends." "What about this?" "What is that?" "A big hand!" " That should be your last." " Fine." "I will leave." "I got you!" "We're good." "But I can only speak for myself." ""Sorry!"" ""l love you!"" ""Be thankful we love you that much."" ""Punks!"" ""Thanks!"" "My, child, Bong said you should not stress yourself." "This should be the last tear, dad." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "My child, if the pain is too much to bear, even bawling will not help." "Why don't you just forgive Bong?" "He lied to me." "He didn't have any right to decide for me or for my life." "What are you really mad about?" "That he didn't tell you?" "Or that even if he did, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it?" " The lights went off." " Again?" "Don't be surprised" "I am doing all these" "The only thing that I want" "Is for you to forgive me" "The world spins and spins" "But I only have you in my mind" "I'll do anything and everything" "Forgive me, please" "My heart goes- papa, papa..." "Sorry" "Papa, papa..." "Forgive me, please" "They do not know" "No one will ever be" "As beautiful as you for me Nona" "My heart goes sorry" "Forgive me, please" "Winona!" "I lied about your illness." "But I'll never lie about my feelings for you." "I love you." "I'll never believe you." "Oh!" "Bong fainted!" " Winona!" "Bong lost consciousness!" " Bong!" "Help him." " Hold him." " Let's bring him to the hospital." " Let us know." " Bong!" "How is he doing?" " I'll go and see." "Wait for me." " Hurry." "Doc, do you need to keep Bong here?" "We just need to do more tests." "Don't worry, we just have to wait for the x-ray result just to be sure." "I found some irregularities." " Bong, I'm sorry." "Please wake up." " Sir, let us in, we just have to see him." " There he is!" " Bong!" " Argh!" "Argh!" "Argh!" " Bong!" "Call the doctor!" "Don't do this to me, Bong, you're killing me." " Nurse!" "Over here!" " I got you, didn't I?" " You scared me." " What happened?" " We're sorry, doc, he was just teasing." " Sorry!" "Just don't do that again." "So, are we good?" "Of course." "Kiss me." " We're okay now?" " Here." "Ouch!" "All right?" " I need soap." " Winona, how is Bong doing?" "He's doing just great." "Winona's here, Mr. Raul." "My child!" " Dad, Bong is all better." " Hurry up!" "He already wants to go home." "We're just waiting for the x-ray results." " So, don't worry about him." " He's already up and about." "Ouch!" " Mr. Gavilla?" " Hey, get up!" "Hi doc, am I being released today?" "I wish I had better news for you, I'll tell it to you straight now, okay?" "Okay, doc." "Winona!" "I have good news for you." "Margs, long time, no see?" "I have something to tell you." "This is Doctor Umali from CGM laboratory, he will give you the news." "I regret to inform you that you have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis." "I don't understand." "How did you get your lung disease?" "They mistook Winona Ramos Aunor's results for yours." "But I feel fine." "How could that happen?" "You have had that for a while now, it's just that it manifested itself only now." "Based on this result, you do not have Lupus." "You do not have to worry about a thing." "You're healthy, Ms. Aunor." "I hope you understand and forgive our mistake." "My child, you're well." "How long will the treatment take?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Gavilla." "There's no cure." "You will not live for long." " I hate you..." " My child!" "you do not know what I went through." "Dad, I'm alive." "Who's going to look after Winona when I'm gone?" "Perfect!" "I don't see any problem with you both dying." "Am I here for the two of you?" "You can even beat the "till death do us part" part of the vow." "You're right!" "Winona!" "Ngorks!" "Winona's here." "Bong!" "Winona!" "Heart's for you." "Isn't this a happy sight?" " I have good news for you." " I have good news for you." "You first." " I'll go first?" " Yes." "All right, what is this?" " Superman." " No." "It's Winona, alive." " That's new." " What is this?" "The dying Winona." "How about this?" "What is that?" "This is the happy Winona that's going to live." "Bong, you read the wrong result." "Margs dropped by and gave this to me." "Read this." "Did I come for you, Bong?" "We can now push through with our plans, Bong." "We'll be able to do the things we listed down." "Time is on our side, Bong." " I'll be able to build dad a house..." " I am waiting." "...I will be able to buy Georgie, find myself a decent job." "I can also save up for dad's eye operation." "We now have time to do everything." "We can tour the world together." "Then we can get married and have kids." "But you have to work harder." "We'll grow old together." "We'll both have grey hair." "We'll have wrinkles." "And then we'll take care of our grandchildren." "We can now do everything." "What were you going to say?" "Bong" "Is dying." "That's a bad joke." "I am not laughing." "It's not funny." "Winona, I am dying." "Don't cry." "I'll be around you everyday." "I can't, Bong." "You can." "You're punks, aren't you?" "How can you smile at a time like this?" "Because I know you'll live, that you'll be fine." "It's all I ever wished for- that you live so you can go for the stars and do everything you want." "I am still a winner, Winona." "Because you are alive." "I don't know if I can get through this." "I was ready to go." "But I don't know if I'll ever be ready to see you go." "You're afraid to lose him and yet you're not with him." "You do not want to be left behind and yet you're here." "What do you really want?" "I want to make him happy." "I want to be with him." "Then you know what to do." "Bong, my nephew, how are you doing?" "I'm fine, auntie." "By the way, I will send you money." "We have new tenants." "Don't send me any." "Use it." "Use the money for your needs." "And don't go anywhere." "I am coming over." "Do you hear me?" "Auntie, I am fine alone here." "You're just saying that." "I know you're having a hard time right now." "I know you'd like Winona to take care of you but I still want to be there." "I want to take care of you." "Wait for me, I'll be there." "I will be there." "I've got to go." "Bye!" "This song is for you, and only for you even if it's not in tune and the promises, too" "All I really want to do" "Is grow old with you" "I will make you smile whenever you are sad" "Carry you around when your arthritis is bad" "Wouldn't it be so nice" "To grow old with you?" "I will never leave your side Forever, for all time" "Every second of the day Every day of the month" "Even beyond year 3001" "Bong, will you marry me?" "What are you, a fool?" "A masochist?" "Just like you." "I want you to live." "I want you to be happy." "Then let me love you." "Because that'll make me happy." "What if I die next month?" "Then I'll have 30 days with you." "What if I die next week?" "Then I'll have 7 days." "Tomorrow?" "Then I'll have 24 hours." "I'll take any time I can just as long as I'm with you." "Mwah..." "My turn." "I like it." "I love it." "Oh" "Oh, no, the brakes are not working." "What?" " Oh, no!" " What's happening?" "I love you." "I love you." "It's time." " Doc?" " Hi!" " You can see him?" " Yes." " Ahhh..." " Ahhh..." "Winona!" " Bong, over here!" " Why?" " You got it wrong." " Where do we go?" " At the middle." " At the middle?" " Yes." " Let's try one more time." "All right." " Winona!" " Bong!" "Please" "All right." "One more" "Yes." " Why is it like this?" " It's not working." "Let's try this one." "How about this?" "Hey, what are you still doing?" "Let's go already!" " Where to?" " Where to?" "Don't you still get it?" "All right." "What is this?" " What?" " This is Bong, happy." "What's that?" "This is Winona, happy." "How about this?" "What?" "The two of you together, to forever." " Wow!" " Wow, a white Sarao!" " Let's hurry!" " All aboard!" " Wee!" " Bye!"
