Nobody, Nobody But Juan (2009) - full transcript
An old man living in a nursing home in the States finds joy in watching a Filipino afternoon variety show on cable. His secret wish is to use the variety show to reconnect with an old love, but his cynical son is standing in his way.
Where are you now?
I'm here already,
My countrymen,
a little silence please,
Will you please turn off your cellphones
and refrain from talking to each other?
And stop pressing items in the dark,
you might press something else,
And don't forget to support and
patronize Filipino movies, okay?
Projectionist! Start now!
(orchestra music playing)
(whistling) (footsteps tapping)
(hat thumps to the ground)
OK!
(whistling) (footsteps tapping away)
We need to bust out of this place.
I thought of a way out
you have a way out?
How?
Uhm... I can open this.
You need a hammer?
Alright. Figure a way to hammer that open,
and I'll find a hammer.
Alright.
Here it is.
Whoa!
What's that?
The hammer.
It's too small.
I need something bigger.
A bigger hammer?
- Yes
Alright. Keep working on that.
(audience laughing)
Here it is.
I have a hammer.
(yelps)
What is that?
A bigger hammer!
It's too heavy.
We need to hammer it from the outside.
You're outside!
I'm outside?
I'm outside!
- How did you get out?
That means I can escape!
What about me?
- Here's the hammer.
What the... you do it!
See you around.
Hey! Hey!
How about me? I can't hammer this!
I can't fit between the bars.
How will I escape?
How indeed?
Aha! I know now! (snickering)
(sounds ofkey turning door unlocking
and opening).
Let's go! Alright.
Follow me.
Careful, they might hear you.
(nightstick tapping)
And where do you think you're going?
(Audience laughing)
Back.
To the cage, over here.
Back! Back!
I will lock it.
Lock it!
You even got the hammer, huh?
I use this to take my fingernails off.
(Audience laughing)
(engines roaring)
(audience freezes).
(speaking in Japanese) Enemy coming!
Run for your lives!
Right now!
(audience screaming and shouting,
footsteps rumbling)
Here... here.
- Tu, did you call everyone upstairs?
- -Juan! We might get bombed here, Juan!
You two behave like you're husband and wife,
when you're both men!
What are you, billy boys?
She's mine!
I can't do such a thing to you.
It's Lolay here who says all sorts of things.
Why me?
He's right, Lolay.
You're such a teaser!
Juan...
Juan...
Don't be afraid.
We won't leave each other.
All of you!
We won't leave each other.
We will stick together until we grow old.
(yawning) (exhales)
Ei, maw'nin' Mr. Juan! Rise and shine!
What?
Rise and shine! You...
you come with me for breakfast, aw'right?
(mockingly) Rise and shine...
Aw'right, come on!
Rise and shine your mama!
I don't understand what the hell you're saying...
rise and shine...
(chattering)
- Goodmornin'
Hey, why don't you eat your food?
It makes you strong and healthy.
You should eat your food.
How do you say... uh... uh...
How do you say... egg... in English?
Yes! Egg! How do you say egg in English?
Aaahhh... ha!
English?
(moans)
You... how do you say... uh...
wake up now... wake up!
(grumbles)
Lilian, come! Look it's Juan!
Where?
There! Come on, come on. Come on, let's go!
Hi handsome! Oooohh!
Lilian, look! It's a boy!
(giggles) Uh...
can I kiss you?
(fearful moan)
Oh! (spitting sound)
Oh, Lilian, come!
(chattering)
Mr. Juan! You sit over here.
Uh... Randilla!
Whazzup, yo!
Take him. (mumbles)
Yah don't wanna eat?
If yah don't wanna eat,
we don't wanna feed yah!
Aw'right!
(gasps) My egg! Hey! My egg!
Hey, that's my egg! Don't touch my egg!
Hey, that's my egg! My egg!
Uhm... are you okay, Juan?
Hey! I've noticed that... lately...
you haven't been...
...talking!
You fell asleep again.
Yeah... pardon me.
It's really hard to have an illness
such as epilepsy.
Epilepsy is not your illness!
It's Narcolepsy!
It's when you fall asleep without noticing
...and instantly
That's it! Eclipsy!
(laughs) You know, Miting,
even if you are the way you are,
you entertain me, you give me joy,
because you're an idiot!
It doesn't matter if I'm an idiot,
as long as I see you happy.
What really seems to be your problem? Huh?
It's hard to explain.
Some other time.
Does your son know about this?
Hi, Dad!
I have two sons here,
but it's like, they're not.
Ahem!
Oh my God!
Oh, He's notjust your God.
He's our God too.
Also, a father-in-law's advice,
don't use the Lord's name for useless
expressions.
That's bad!
- Ugh! Mario! Mario?
My son has so many possible choices for a wife,
why did he marry a witch?
Hello? I'm still here! I can hear you.
Heller! I'm sorry.
I thought you evaporated in the air!
(sighs)
Juan,
It's better if you stay here, while I watch...
- Excuse me, is Ms. Alanna in?
Uh... yeah!
Oh... good morning!
I am Julie,
I am your new caregiver,
and I'll take care of you like a carebear.
Oh my goodness! Is he dead?
Oh, no. He's just sleeping.
Sleeping and standing?
Like a horse?
Exactly! Like a horse.
An old horse. (laughing)
(slapping sound) TV!
You go watch TV, I gotta run.
I'm taking a shower.
(screaming) Hey!
Please don't display your shortcomings!
- -Why did you expose that?
That looks like Chinese salted candy!
Troublemaker! Shameful!
Getting naked...
Hello! Hello!
Didn't I tell you our palabok,
bihon and sotanghon is good here?
Yeah! I'm so full!
Isn't it, my American friends?
Yes, it's uh... it's delicious food,
great atmosphere,
wonderful ambiance...
Atmosphere? Ambiance?
I don't think I know those words.
Food is the only word I understood.
(laughing)
Where you buy? Where you buy?
Buy what?
The ambiance and the atmosphere!
Is that available in any... uh...
grocery stores?
Yah! Yah! (laughing)
Anyway... uh... payday!
Uh... alright... two hundred dollars.
(laughing) Two hundred dollars?
Yes!
- No! No way!
(laughing) No. You have to choose.
Deal... or no deal...
or are you game?
Game on, C-bear! Go!
I choose...
no deal!
Here... five hundred pesos.
Here's your deal.
Five hundred?
- Five hundred.
You sit here.
My special guests for Wowowee!
Come, I'll take a souvenir photo of you.
Smile!
Come on, leche flan, let's go!
Thank you.
- Five Hundred
Goodbye!
Wait... wait!
You're gonna enjoy Wowowee!
- Five hundred only? What's this?
Wowowee?
Can you take us there? Weeweewee?
Are you interested in watching Wowowee?
Oh, yeah! Of course!
Are you sure?
- Yeah! For sure!
Well, that will cost you...
two hundred dollars each.
I'll give you a hundred and fifty each.
Please?
- One fifty each?
Well... okay.
Wowowee!
You'll have a special seat,
upfront.
You'll get a chance to meet... Willy.
And then,

(snapshot sound)
(cheerful sounds) (TV sound)
(door opening and bumping sound)
What's this? What are you all doing here?
You're not getting paid to watchTV.
Out! Go check there's a leak in
Mrs. Sander's bathroom.
You! Kitchen!
Everybody go to your respective rooms, now!
Come on!
You're so serious Orange Julius!
Come on! (muttering)
Nobody's supposed to watch TV at this time!
Out!
You're such a killjoy!
You know that?
Enough, Mrs. Tibbet!
(grunts)
Enough! You don't even understand the show.
(door slamming)
What's this again, Dad?
Didn't I tell you already that nobody
should watch TV?
Why do have to invite, even the staff
to come to your room and watch TV too?
There's something I'm waiting to see.
And who are you expecting?
We don't have anymore relatives in the Philippines.
I'm going to report this to John.
Bah! You speak so highly of your brotherJohn.
Let's see ifhe even says "hello" to you.
Alright, guys!
Thanks for coming today for this meeting
and you're probably wondering why you're here.
The big thing is we're doing this move
to try to acquire a company.
Pamela Sue is handing out a
Profit & Loss of United Capital,
which is this firm that we want to acquire.
Go ahead!
Make your ear swell and gather pus.
No one will answer the phone.
...because I want to buy this company for us.
But we need one thing,
and that's more money.
So, the meeting today is I need for you guys,
after this meeting,
to call your financing,
and your investors to help our firm
acquire this company.
This company has got some big potential,
and I don't wanna lose out.
Here's the issue though.
We don't have a lot of time.
Okay? We got thirty days to raise the money,
and I'm talking about a lot of money,
okay, 'cause, I'm telling you,
The mexican cartel,
corporations called Julio's
really wants to buy this project.
I want it for us first.
I told you so.
John, you see...
his role is to be busy with life.
Mario!
Who do you think are you talking to?
That's your father!
You scold him like a nobody, have a heart!
Mr. Miting, I wasn't talking to you, okay?
(breathes deep)
Mario!
Mario!
What? Your wife calls you and you already
tremble with fear!
Be a man!
Whoever is in need of you, should come to you.
(snoring sound)
(clapping sound)
(slapping sound)
(clanging sound) (screaming)
If that doesn't wake you,
I don't know what will...
You two...
you're both not doing yourjobs well.
(slamming sound) This is a warning!
Now get lost! Out! Get out of my sight!
Clara?
- What is it?
- Mario, dinner's at seven.
Okay.
Have you told him?
(whispering) I'll tell him later.
Fine! I'll do it.
- No, no, no, no! I'll take care of it, okay? Cla...
Dad?
Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?
Are you sure?
As if I'm thrilled to be calling you "Dad"
starting today,
it is forbidden to watch Wowowee!
(chattering)
Come on, C-bear!
Uhm... excuse me! Tickets please?
I have a ticket here! Right here!
Thank you!
This is fake. Sorry!
No! That could not be fake.
We bought it and it has signature on the BACK.
Yah!
Well, even if it has a signature at the "BACK,"
this is still a fake.
Fake at the back?
We paid a hundred and fifty dollars for these!
Yes!
Oh, mother! You got hustled!
Watching Wowowee is free!
You don't pay anything!
You just register to get a schedule.
C-bear...
Where are the guys who brought us here?
Yah. We've been scammed!
Scammed?
Scammed! Yes, see? S-C-A-M-B... scamb!
Yeah, we'll work on that, anyway...
Alright... alright... you go back there and
No! Don't touch my furcoat! It's leopard print,
you leopard! Excuse me!
Where's the driver? Driver!
- Leopard furcoat...
you may have dollars but you're so stupid,
you fall for scams.
(train trickling) (muttering sound)
There!
Here you go.
There!
You better not get the lion's share, Ribio huh!
Hey! That's a fair share! There!
Hey, Lolay! Scrimp and save that.
There's no telling when we can hustle again.
With so much we took from those
gullible TFC fools,
Ribio, there's a big chance they
went to the police.
You know, we should get inside.
Do you know anyone at ABS-CBN?
Are you daft?
If I did then I would have been a big star
since long ago.
Shush!
We're dead...
if we can't get inside...
our "business" is dead.
Our scheme on... Operation Wowowee
Kaput!
Oh, I just remembered... how is your wife?
She's still there...
still loving me as much.
Mario? Are you ready yet?
- Yup... yup... ready!
What are you wearing?
A shirt.
Look at me!
You're trying to make me look bad!
Well, what's wrong with my shirt?
You look like my driver!
You know, Tu...
I bet nobody can make me laugh today.
Well, I bet this will make you laugh.
There! That's funny! (laughing)
(audience laughing)
Nope!
Not yet?
Now that's really funny! (laughing)
(boisterous laughing)
Not yet.
Still nothing?
There! That's funny! Go ahead laugh!
- (audience laughing)
I really can't laugh.
Son, what should I do to you?
How about this?
Now that's really funny! (teasingly giggling)
Still ain't laughing.
Still ain't?
For sure, this will make you laugh.
There! That's really hilarious! (laughing)
There! That's frightening!
We better scram.
- Let's get the hell out ofhere...
All bets are in?
Of course.
What you need is that your cards
shouldn't go over twenty one.
If it goes over,
you lose.
(kissing sounds)
Stop munching on my ear!
I'm embarrassed to Tu.
Why should you be embarrassed to Tu?
You're the apple ofhis eye.
Come on, Tu,
show my Aida, your secret affection.
Come on!
Show her the look oflove!
You're really something...
how can you tell that he's got a crush on Aida?
Well, Tu is always staring at Aida,
Jesus! Well, you stare at me like I'm "lunch".
I'm only avoiding you because
I don't want to ruin your relationship
with Aida.
Lolay,
I don't eat bittermelon!
(gasps)
Come on, show her!
- Have pity on the guy.
Go ahead... take Tu's side...
and make his love for you grow stronger.
Tu is a good soul... easy to love.
(slamming sound)
Dear...
Aida...
Well then Tu...
don't you have
feelings of desire for me? Hmmm?
You know, Lolay,
I don't fall for women who look like
dried salted candy!
But Tu...
you can learn to love me, Hmmm?
Come on...
give me a chance... to prove to you...
come on, come on...
don't be shy... come on...
Takeshi,

Mr. Miting...

Then get back there because it's time to eat.
It's lunchtime. Go back to the dining area.
Quickly now, get back there.
(chattering)
I say... I come from the hood.
Which hood?
- The neighborhood!

Is this okay with you?
Huh?

If you say so (cheering, clapping and laughing)
Are you okay with 150,
when the others are 1500, 2000...
It's okay with me, just for you.
Yes, sir! My Christmas gift to you.

DAAAAAAAAD!
Are you touched by your mommy's statement?
Yes, sir.
- What do you wish to tell her? Look at her.
Uhm... Thank you... because...
What's going on?
Why are you crying and laughing
at the same time?
Ssshhhh!
I'll tell you later. Just watch Wowowee
...because even if you're struggling
to find money to put me in a private school,
You really work hard so I can finish school.
Thank you!
(clapping sound)
Oh! You're there, Bentong!
He was already there before I came in?
You've been here all along?
I'm just here, brother.
I didn't notice you.
What's he doing behind me?
You know, what you should do,
just stand here all the time.
Stay by his side. He's so cute.
Stay there!
(chattering sound)
(TV sound disappears)
Nobody's supposed to watch TV!

She's gone, Alanna is gone,
Of all the names to choose from...

Dad, is this what you want?

Our lives are already in chaos!
Well, if you want to live in chaos,

We're two different people, Mario,
I want to be in the big time!
I've got aspirations.
I want to be in an exciting environment.
And you...
you're contentjust running a nursing home.
Well, not that there's anything wrong with that.
It's just that I don't understand
why you have to be highly involved
with these people's lives...
and love them.
This is just a business.
It's my dad. Right?
You just can't stand him.
You want to know the truth?
I'm scared you're gonna turn out exactly like him.
We better go. We'll be late for our meeting.
Mario. They're here!
Alanna Dela Cruz! Nice to see you again!
Hello Dr. Calvin and Mr. Klein!
Sorry, we're late.
I'm sorry, Were you waiting long?
Aahh, about ten to fifteen minutes.
Filipino time! (laughs)
Well, welcome to the Belmont Village Assistant
Living Residences.
How do you find the place so far?
The place looks great!
- Very impressive!
Thank you!
Well, we're so pleased and excited
that you're interested in investing
with our company!
Bootyshake time!
Bootyshake time! It's time to shake your booty!
It's showtime! Let's shake it, right now!
We have some questions for you.
What's going on out there?
Is there a party going on back there?
No, uhm, excuse us, just, one minute,
- No party, Wait a second.
What's that sound?
What's going on here?
What in blazes is going on here?
And you! You find this funny?
Wait! Wait! Don't go down!
Our investors are there!
Wait... Eeeeeee!
- Alanna!
Alanna?
You're all fired! Fired!
Call 911!
Are you okay? Did you catch anything?
I hate you!
I hate you too! Bleeeh!
Juan! Juan! Jua...
(slapping)
With what's going on around this place,
we might even be able to negotiate a better deal.
Yeah! At least we see how they're running
things around here.
Hey! Look at this!
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
We're okay, you know, Everything's fine,
You like my bikini?
Something to be said.
Hup... Darna!
(laughing)
I haven't touched you yet,
touching you now...
- Ouch! (sobbing)
It's you! You started all this!
I caught you! You were dancing!
And you even taught the old folks how to do
your dancesteps!
What have you got to say now?
Sexy, isn't it?
Let's fix this, Okay?
- Ouch! Ouch!
Recovery is faster that way!
Mario, help me please!
Are you okay?
I want a divorce.
Hey dude!
Your daughter-in-law don't like it.
She's like rolling her eyes and moaning
wants to get out of the room!
Wow! You talk with American twang!
Uh huh!
You've been here long?
Uh huh! About two weeks.
Two weeks in Chicago?
Naaah huh! In the US!
You've been here two weeks
and you talk like that already?
Uh huh!
That's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it!
Uh huh huh, you like it!
But you better be careful,
the wind might blow you the wrong way.
Uh huh! You take care too, 'cause I care!
After a month, she won't understand
Tagalog anymore.
Uh huh!
You see? Some Filipinos...
Fine ride!
All is well between you and Alanna now?
Dad, I don't want to talk about it.
You're becoming like Alanna,
you've become too negative.
Dad, please!
But...
Dad, please! Can we stop this?
The word "please" has a different
meaning here.
From where we come from,
it's nicer when you say,
"Pass the water, please?"
"Pass the rice, please?"
Here?
It's "PLEASE! I DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU!"
So that's how you mean by the word here.
But this ride is really mighty fine!
Hey... this looks like...
it's a television!
Can I watch Wowowee here?
- Dad, there's no cable, there's no TFC.
This one... it's the sunroof, right?
- Dad, don't touch that!
You could get colds, it's freezing already!
Spoilsport!
This... what's this?
- Dad, that's for the windshield, no!
Don't! Don't!
We're dead!
I gotta go pee!
License and registration, please?
Uh... yes, officer. Here's my license
and here's the registration.
And uh... you want to tell me what happened?
Uh... my... my... my father was... uh...
Where is he?
There he is!
Hey! That's against the law!
No! It's against the car!
What are you doing?
Uh... washing the car.
Don't peep!
So what you're saying is that,
your father was tinkering with the dashboard,
you lost your concentration, and that's why
you hit the patrol car...
Let me answer this.
Miss beautiful...
beautiful... Berne.
You know, I was talking to my son,
And then pressed buttons in the dashboard,
and then... wha bang!
The police car... come over and... uh...
nature called me... I jingle-izer.
Wait... what is jingle-izer?
Jingle-izer is... uh..."weewee!"
Weewee...
- Dad, dad, uh, can you please stop talking?
You're getting us in deeper trouble.
Can you?
Uh, can I just use the phone?
I'm going to call our lawyer?
Yes, you can.
Thank you, Okay, Dad? Please?
Wowowee!
You have Wowowee here!
That's my favorite show!
Me, too, sir.
Are you a Filipino?
Of all the luck!
What a coincidence!
And you're eating my favorite too!
Yes.
How about you?
Go ahead, it's okay. I have some more here.
I just came from Seafood City.
Why, thank you! Thank you!
(TV chatting, cheering and applauding)
...now let's go to Grandma Lolay.
Grandma Lolay, how are you?
Hi, Will! I'm so happy!
I'm so very okay, Will!
Where do you come from?
I'm from Quiapo, Will.
Will. Wait a minute, Will! Can I kiss you?
Don't bother!
Oh come on, let me kiss you.
I'm just kidding.
She still smells good!
She's still desirable!
Lolay...
Greet your hometown friends,
where are you from again?
I'm from Quiapo.
From Quiapo, then greet them.
Hey! My neighbors in Quiapo!
I'm in Wowowee!
I'm a celebrity now!
To all the snatchers over there!
Do your best!
I have one grandson there
who's one of the best snatchers in town!
Grandson, don't get caught!
Or we'll have nothing to eat!
How old is your grandson?
Oh dear... he's only twelve!
Willie...
the snatchers over there are requesting
if they can all come and play
here in Wowowee!
Do you want that?
(audience cheering)
Maybe they should play against the police!
We'll make announcements soon,
grandma Lolay.
Grandma Lolay, are you...
what were you doing when you were younger?
My name is...
Lolay Baile
Baile as in dance!
Whoa!
You know Will,
I was a great dancer in my younger days!
Were you a dancer...
Yes, I was in a dance group before,
and we danced in various places.
We used to perform in...
where was that again?
Orient...
At The Orient...
and then at the...
at The Clover...
and uhm...
The Metropolitan.
And so many more!
We were touring and moving back then!
So that was yourjob when you were younger?
Oh, there were so many of us in those days.
I remember there was Nanding Poe,
the father of Fernando Poe.
He was our producer that time.
And then, for dancing,
it was Bayani Casimiro who was our
Dance Director.
For drama,
it was Domingo Prinsipe.
You know, Will,
it was difficult to be an entertainer
in those days,
because you need to be able to do
everything they tell you to do.
Drama...
uh... Comedy...
and Musical.
It's really tough!
So were you a good dancer back then?
I was really great back then!
- So, during your time, what did you do?
Can you do what Luningning does?
Chicken Feed!
Can you show us? Can you do it?
Oops, oops...
Waaaaah!
(shouting, laughing, chattering, applauding)
Grandma...
Owen!
Oh grandma...
Are you okay? You're okay?
Let's give her a big hand!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Oh, grandma, are you okay?
I'm still okay, Will.
How many kids do you have?
Oh, I'll tell you that some other time,
bacause they're so many I can't
count them right now.
I'm sure you had a lot of suitors before.
I had a fulfilling lovelife in those days!
Colorful...
Do you wish to greet anybody else?
Your friends?
You know, we are seen in Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao...
and every corner of the world.
Maybe you have relatives or friends abroad
that you wish to greet.
I remember one... Juan!
Juan Dela Cruz!
Hey!
He's in America now.
Juan!
If you're watching, send some chocolates.
Juan!
Who is Juan? Were you lovers or
friends or what?
Dancing partner?
Yes. He was lusting after me,
but I avoided him.
Why?
I didn't want to ruin the group harmony.
Is that so? Who else do you want to greet?
I have another friend... Tu!
Juan... and then Tu...
Yes! They were a tandem!
Juan Tu, Juan Tu, Juan Tu...
You already have Juan,
and you have number two also!
Go greet your numer two!
Hey, Turibio!
Hello!
So what's your talent?
Oh, I'll do anything to entertain everyone
watching Wowowee!
Is that okay with you guys?
(audience cheering)
So grandma, what do you want to do?
I want to dance with Owen.
Owen? Owen! Okay!
Go ahead, can you do it?
Presenting Grandma Lolay!
Maybe...
How can it be that you didn't know?
Lolay...
Tu's dead.
Worms are feasting on him for ages!
What do you mean dead? He's still alive!
Sigh...
why is she this dumb?
My Lord,
is there really someone this dumb?
I know now...
That when wisdom and dumbness poured
from the heavens, all you caught was dumbness!
Lolay...
your skull is filled with ashes!
As ashen as your hair!
Pretty, isn't it?
Lolay, have you forgotten?
Turibio is my name.
I sliced it, and threw away the Tu.
Ribio is left, so Juan couldn't find me.
Then you shout it out on the Wowowee show,
that the two of us were like a loveteam.
What are we?
John Lloyd and Sarah Geronimo?
Why do you have to hide from Juan?
If you don't know,
don't bother to know,
just forget this conversation.
Whatever, whatever!
But wait... what about our grand schemes?
Still pushing through.
I still make the plans.
Once we're in,
you take the lead.
Sigh...
she really is stupid
...stupid... stupid...
Okay, fine! Don't be mad.
It seems I'm getting it now.
What do you mean, "it seems?"
"Parang" is in the ricefields.
We are in Quezon City.
Old actors who have to be hustlers to survive.
Indeed.
That's good. That is a big boost
to our future.
I believe we still have a future.
Don't be mad anymore.
You might get a heart attack.
Cheers!
To your stupidity, Lolay!
I'm just hungry, I was a wise when
I was a kid.
Oh, Uncle John's here!
You mujst be hungry!
He wants to eat with you!
I made a bundle, Madelyn!
Yes.
Oh! By the gods, by the saints!
Why are you not eat?
Why are you not eat... Teach her later.
Hey dad!
Hi!
Hey bro!
Why aren't you eating?
You aren't either. You're always on the phone.
Hey, listen. I'll call you back okay?
My dad and my brother are here.
Anyway, you know what, I have to go.
Alanna is waiting for me.
Hey, Mario...
I hope you have more patience for
what happened.
If you and Alanna are thinking that...
I'm screwing up the home with everything I do...
you're mistaken.
Truthfully,
I'm actually trying to help you.
I'm trying to bring joy to all
your patients there.
The thing is, when we're watching Wowowee,
we were all joyful.
So why do you have to take thatjoy from us?
Don't you know
that we, at the home, are living
on borrowed time?
Maybe years... months... days... left.
Why prevent us from watching Wowowee?
That's when we're joyful.
Let us be joyful.
And...
the reason I watch Wowowee...
the feeling I get when I watch it...
is like I'm in the Philippines.
And it feels so good.
That's why both of you,
don't ever forget,
in your hearts, by your blood,
you're still Filipinos!
Remember that.
I'm not the only one who decides there.
Alanna and I make the decisions.
And that's what's wrong!
It's your family business.
You're the head of the family.
You're the one who should decide.
Nobody, nobody but you!
Dad, excuse me.
Here are Dad's things,
his passbook, and his passport.
He's cranky because what?
Well, I forbid him, and the other residents
from watching Wowowee.
Wowowee? The show?
Yup.
I remember that show from two years ago.
Yah! Which means you haven't seen Dad
for two years, what a great son you are.
Hey, you're always with him,
but you're always fighting.
I'm not the one he's fighting with.
It's Alanna.
How is she, by the way?
I'm gonna go, okay?
Mario... are you alright?
If you need anything, just ask me.
What do you mean,"if I need anything?"
What do you mean... help in what?
Opening your own thing.
Look, I'm pretty much set up.
Sure?
Look, just because you have more than I do,
doesn't mean I have nothing.
Mrs. Sanders?
Mr. Dorne?
Where is everyone? Why aren't they here?
Julie?
Chiruwa?
Randy?
Mario... Mario... I couldn't find the elders!
They're gone! Gone with the wind! Gone too soon!
What do you mean, "gone too soon?"
Where would they go?
I don't know. I cannot find them.
This can't happen...
Mr. Mario! Miss Julie! Hide us!
Are you alright?
(commotion)
Hi, officer!
Oh! Oh! Oh, Hi!
How are you? I miss you!
We were high school classmates,
Oh! Do you have a pistol?
Are you glad to see me?
It's a pistol.
I'm not glad to see you.
You're so funny!
Oh, you have big hands! What can it do?
May I speak with who's responsible here?
Uh... I... I am... officer.
Yes, well, I have good news!
Your ID braces are pretty strong.
The bad news?
Mr. Miting!
I'm sorry, officer.
If this happens again,
I'll have to revoke your license, okay?
And in the meantime,
I should be putting nasty fines for you.
I'm so sorry, officer.
Don't be upset.
It will never happen again.
But you can visit me.
Anytime!
With pistol!
Without pistol!
See you.
I'm sorry, officer.
Sorry!
I need to go... need to g... M... muh...
Mario... (rambling)
Go back to your rooms!
Now! Now! Go!
What are you, two?
Both of are fooling around!
Where are they?
Have they left?
Why were you touching my ass?
We don't have, papers, you see.
Illegal aliens, as they say.
That's why I pretended...
I'm black... while he...
While I... pretended to be Chinese...
when in truth... I'm from Leyte.
I, too... changed my name.
Back then, my name was Pulong.
"Pulong" translated in English
is "meeting" right?
That's why Miting became my name.
But, wait a minute...
You have to know,
that we can't accept illegal aliens here.
Our license will be revoked.
How about you, Julie...
are you also a TNT?
Oh, no! Of course not!
Technically, I'm not because I'm new
here in the States.
But eventually, I will be,
If I don't marry a white man.
My gosh! The callers are demanding
the refund of their payments...
and the others, are planning to file charges!
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
Please don't report us to Homeland Security!
Right! Please, at least, give us a little
headstart, for us lovers to run and hide.
Stop!
Don't shame yourselves in front of the elders.
The terminal is equipped with state-of-the-art
systems for information, check-in and immigration.
Is there no TFC?
Oh! Uh... what do you want...
original or hot and crispy?
TFC! The Filipino Channel!
Not the chicken! You turned it into KFC!
Aaahh! Pardonno mi senor.
But, we have shows like HBO, Star, Cinemax,
etcetera, etcetera...
SenorJohn, don't like TFC.
TFC is full of gossip.
But me? I have gossip for you. I like gossip.
I can see the baby's buttcheeks!
Be careful!
Your extended bumper is hitting my face!
Oh! Come on! I have gossip for you.
Very very nice gossip!
Come, come, come!
Come, baby, come. Come on, come on!
Downstairs, downstairs, downstairs!
I'm not bite you!
You're abducting me!
This is the gossip I have for you, SenorJuan.
You see these kids? These kids are said to be
SenorJohn's children from various women!
Someone always comes here... an NBA Laker.
NBA?
NBA Laker!
The guy who puts needles to test your blood
if it's the same with these kids.
DNA! Idiot!
You're talking about basketball.
So those are my grandchildren?
My ketol is whistling!
Wait...
Fool!
Ketol... That's a mosquito coil.
My grandchildren are so pretty!
(laughing devilishly)
Pamela Sue,
please make sure
you contact Fernice Fernally with
Crystal Capital Solutions.
Yes, I will.
And when is the meeting with Gina Go
with Wisdom Professionals?
Gina Go with Wisdom Professionals?
Yes.
Uhm... Wednesday, 2:00 pm.
And my flight to Miami?
Your flight at 8:00 am AldeguerJetlines.
That's perfect!
Hi, Andrew!
Have you had your DNA test? Mom is asking.
DNA test...
Andrew, I've been quite busy.
I haven't had the chance yet.
Are you too busy to find out if
I am your son?
No time forAndrew...
Shut up! Don't write this down!
None of your business!
Not my business...
Pamela Sue! Go to the car!
To the car...
Go! Disappear!
Disappear!
What happened with me and your mother,
happened a long time ago.
We dated...
Yeah, yeah... I know that part...
You kissed... you hugged... the adult stuff.
Yuck!
Then the baby came... which was me.
Listen son...
DNA or no DNA, you will always be my son.
So, you don't want me?
The relationship between me and your mother...
it didn't work!
But one thing did happen,
that was absolutely wonderful...
is we had you!
And, since you're asking...
you also have two other sisters...
and they're not with your mother.
So I have two other sisters?
Yes! It's, one big happy family!
You think I still care about that
stupid place?
Let the license get cancelled.
Let the place go to hell!
But you don't understand.
The senior folks got out,
got through the guards!
And you think, that's my fault?
Give me a break, Mario!
Give me a break!
You pay the fines.
You pay the damages.
You're on your own!
I'm done!
John, what do you mean Dad is missing?
He wasn't at breakfast today. He's gone!
Conchang, didn't he say anything about
where he's going?
I see no evil, I hear no evil,
and I speak no evil, senor.
Hmp!
Dad's passport and passbook savings account's
...missing.
Okay, thank you.
Dad just made a five thousand dollar
withdrawal from his passbook savings account.
What's he gonna do with the money?
I don't know!
Don't worry about him.
He survived the war. He'll survive this.
Yeah... but what's he up to?
I have no clue!
Manila has changed a lot!
I don't recognize it anymore!
But... the potholes are still there.
(laughing)
Our roads still riddled with holes!
Even people's pockets have holes!
But... there are others...
My gosh... their wallets are still so thick!
Why does your meter seem to run fast?
No it doesn't. That's normal.
Remember, whatever appears on that meter
will be your fare.
I notice that everytime we hit a bump,
your meterjumps with the bump.
Avoid the bumps!
That's exactly what I've been doing!
Look... See?
It looks like you're aiming for it.
Not really.
It's Papi!
Papi!
(laughing)
Wait for me!
We're close.
You're gay?
Of course not!
We're in friendster!
Your meter's really fast!
Jesus, Mary, Joseph!
My fare might reach ten thousand pesos!
Remember, we agreed, that whatever
appears on the meter is your fare.
Is that so?
Alright...
I guess I don't have to pay anything!
It says zero!
It says zero!
Why is this zero? Moron!
Why do you have to screw up now?
No matter! I still play fair.
Here... That's ten dollars!
Have your meter fixed.
Swindler...
A-B-S... C-B-N...
The Philippines largest network!
Here I come!
Oh... What's our business, bro?
Santino...
That isn't me...
and loitering is not allowed here.
What are you up to?
I'm not loitering, I'm waiting for someone.
Very well, then who are you waiting for?
Willy.
Willy... Willy who?
Who isn't entertained with Wowowee?
Oh dear... You're too early!
Willy's show's at noon!
I think you better eat first,
then come back here later.
Come back?
That's up to you.
Should I go home first?
Hello?
Where do I go?
That's your call.
Old man, have you no shame?
Why did you jump the line?
You go in line from the back!
This is your fault!
I was here earlier, first in line, all alone...
you told me to leave, and come back.
Now look, the line has gotten long,
and you tell me to start at the back?
Unfair!
Hey, guard! We've been here for so long!
Shush... It's alright. I said, it's alright.
Mmmmm... mmmmm...
(grumbling) Shush!
Oh... choose our next target.
Indeed! There's so many people!
I know now! There! That guy...
wearing the fuschia shirt.
Him!
Fuschia... can you spell that?
What the... fuschia... so easy...
F... F... Fuuu... Fuuu... him!
The one wearing fink!
Fink! Fuschia!
You are all worthless!
Awaste of the salaries I pay you!
You're only cheating the audience!
You give me nothing but shame!
Unsheathe your swords!
Let's do this!
Let us begin!
Turibio! It's over! What is there to begin?
It's over?
Even your theater career is over!
It's over... it's over... my life...
is almost over...
What's wrong, Tu?
Why are you drunk? Where have you been?
You see?
Is that the one you're helping?
Is that what a sane person does?
Getting drunk? When there's work to do?
Hey, you!
Starting tomorrow, find yourself another job!
He tells me to find something else to do...
(laughing)
Don't you worry.
If anyone of you goes, I go too!
You're going? I go with you!
Where have you been?
We have work, and you go drinking.
We have work? Where?
Let's drink? (laughing)
You think this is funny...
Come on, come on... stand up, come on.
Let's go.
You! Unsheathe your swords!
Does this look good on me?
Son of a... fuschia... it's Juan!
TFC subscribers... this way!
TFC subscribers over here.
Yeah! We are the TFC subscribers!
I'm the wife... this is the husband...
I love it when you get excited!
Yey!
If I had known you would get this excited...
I'm a TFC subscriber too!
Where's your ticket?
It's in Chicago.
You better get it first.
You can still make it to your flight.
Yeah... right...
I even got my parachute here.
Snobbish... stubborn... overly strict...
Santino!
What do we do? What ifhe sees us?
I'm so excited!
Wait a minute...
isn't that the guy who scammed us?
Yeah! The scammer!
Police!
Run!
You... come with me. You're life is in danger.
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Hey! What... where? (chaotic chattering)
Don't be difficult, we're being chased!
Everybody!
Boom tarat tarat... boom tarat tarat...
tararat tararat boom boom boom...
One more time!
Boom tarat tarat... boom tarat tarat...
tararat tararat boom boom boom...
Ouch!
Okay...
Safe and sound!
You've been acting weird!
You keep pulling me as if I know you!
You know me very well, Juan!
Hah!
Juan!
My best friend!
Tu!
Is that really you, Tu?
No other!
Tu...
Let's get out ofhere!
Long, what's my line?
Don't tell me you're gonna screw up your line?
"Thanks!" That's all you're gonna say.
"Thanks" only?
Maybe they'll have an idiot board for that.
You're the idiot!
Well I... I get nervous...
I want him to...
Oh! Hey there! Where are you going?
Hehey!
He recognized us...
These guys are actors!
We're notjust actors, we're stars!
You're comedians!
Yes! Superstars... superstars.
Yes! You know... these comedians...
You know them?
You need to tickle yourself first
before you can laugh.
So, you're a comedian too!
Long... uh... Longaniza!
No! It's just Long!
Isn't this one... is... isn't he Palito?
No, no! It's Brod Pete!
Brod Pete! Yes!
Can you help us?
The guards are looking for us.
What can we do to help?
Hide us.
And it ends there? What do we get for it?
I thought they're superstars.
Why do they need hustle money?
We're popular.
But we never said we have a lot of money.
Why me? You're the one cutting
a deal with them.
Come on. I'll pay you back later.
Pay me back?
Pay you back.
I know you so well, Tu...
Hey, hold it! That's a hundred dollars!
That's why I'm holding it!
This should be enough.
That's more than enough!
Five dollars should be enough for
scavengers like them.
A deal's a deal. No backing out now.
So, where will you hide us?
For a hundred dollars...
it will take thirty years and
they still won't find you!
Over here! Over here!
You'll be very safe here!
This way... straight ahead and keep going.
More dollars?
Hold it! I don't have much.
This is all loose change here.
These are super... Superstars! Super thieves!
Let's go to the moneychanger...
and let someone rob us later, right?
Right! Let's see the script again...
Uh... brod...
Have you seen...
Two old farts? None!
Hold it... hold it... one moment.
This is the props room.
What are you doing here? Who are you guys?
What do you mean who?
We're celebrities! As if you didn't know!
We are actors!
Indeed! Indeed you are!
Pardon me.
I'm always on duty, that's maybe why
I didn't recognize you.
Aaaaahhh...
Can I have a picture?
Sure, you can! One moment.
Thank you!
Smile!
Thanks!
We gotta go.
We have lots of scenes to be taped.
I wish you too become a star like us someday.
Okay, see you.
I'm so lucky! I had a picture with
someone popular!
Yes!
You have no shame!
After the war, they searched for you.
I couldn't find you. Now, I find you here!
Hooooo!
Don't give me excuses,
Who suddenly disappeared?
I thought you said we'll stick together!
So why did you leave like a popping bubble?
When I couldn't find you...
when we got separated...
what I did was take my chances in America.
Wait a minute, why is the guard after you?
Why?
Will tell you all about it later.
Right now,
I'll show you... how it feels...
to be left behind!
Huh? Tu!
Turibio!
Gotcha!
What are you doing here?
In the Wowowee line!
In the Wowowee line?
You're in the storage room! In line?
Huh?
I got lost.
You got lost? I don't think so!
You're with the other guy!
You're part of that racket!
I don't know that guy!
What do you mean, "you don't know?"
It's best you explain at the office.
At the office!
Ow! Aaaah... agh... ahhhh...
No. You don't understand.
We take care of our residents here.
The old man you saw...
the one in diapers...
he's my dad, okay?
My real life father.
We were just having some sort of argument
at the time and he was trying to...
that's it?
So you're... you're just pulling out?
No second chance?
Look, it's so unfair. You have all the papers.
It's not like we're in debt.
We just need fresh capital.
Le... How much money do you need?
John, let go of the phone, please!
Hello!
Hello!
Bro... He hung up on me.
I'm... I'm listening to you.
You beg for money... from others!
Your brother is right here, next to you!
Ask me!
What's the matter with you?
Look at this place!
It can be a goldmine!
Let me help you!
Make this the best assisted living property
in the whole area... in the state!
Come on! Let me in!
Come on inside! Dancers, stand by.
One minute!
It's standing by! Excuse me.
Excuse us please?
Wait... you're crowding me in!
Will? Willy! Will!
A big hand for the ASF Dancers!
(applauding)
Willy! They're throwing me out! I'm a balikbayan!
And they're throwing me out!
Hold it... hold it...
You're a balikbayan? What's the commotion?
They're throwing me out.
Dude?
He's our guest. Okay now, let him go.
Leave him... go on... you guys go out. Okay.
(cheering)
What is your name, sir?
Juan... Juan Dela Cruz.
Willy... you're such a handsome man!
Thank you father!
How did you get lost? I didn't go on stage
because it looked like, you're really
enjoying yourself out here.
You seem carried by the wind.
From where did the wind take you?
Chicago!
You have TFC?
Yes. A long time ago.
Okay, okay, will you look at this?
Eh... who's with you?
I have dreamed of seeing you!
You look like my sons,
and they're both handsome.
Thank you sir!
If you wish to greet anyone and everyone,
we have a full house today,
and we are being watched all over the world,
go ahead, greet them.
Will, thank you!
My sons! Mario!
John!
I'm now a star at Wowowee! Heeheehee!
Alanna!
Alanna, please be patient with me.
Get well.
If I was a pain in the butt,
please be patient with me.
I'm old and getting senile.
But I really do love you.
Take care of yourself over there.
I'm doing okay here.
I'm in Willie's care. Teeheehee!
Ahh, yes!
You know? Mr. Juan is a TFC subscriber,
and we are watched all over the world,
and he says he wants to sing.
Do you wanna hear Mr. Juan sing?
Owen! Owen! There!
There you go. Right here.
You're in the spotlight now.
And since you're the star of the moment,
go ahead.
I know, I'm sure, you will sing something
that can move emotions,
so go ahead, sing for us.
Presenting... my old man Juan!
(applauding)
If you can hear...
what I can hear...
I wish you are hearing...
what I'm hearing...
If you're facing me...
and I'm facing you...
If you look at me...
I will look at you...
let's look at each other.
That's an awesome song!
Are you... are you the composer?
Actually, I want us to sing together.
Is that so?
Well, what would you like to sing?
Eh... the one you often sing here,
I know very well too.
"It... is..."
Right! "It is you!"
A big hand for Mr. Juan, "It is you!"
Wow! Imagine that!
The song I sing, he and I will sing for you.
It seemed like a joke
that someone like you would come
with a love
that's faithful and true
because of you I experienced real love
To love you no matter who you are.
It is you that the heart is searching for
the one that gives joy, and sweetness,
and affection
to my life
It is you who is every dream I dream
Dreams that only you can fulfill
All of my dreams...
This is it. This is you.
My family. My countrymen!
Old Man Juan! Another big hand!
(cheering and applauding)
You sing very well, and to think,
you sang my song.
I want to thank you for that.
You have a sweet voice.
You haven't asked me, but I'd like to tell
you that I used to be on stage as well.
Really? I see.
And what did you on stage?
I used to perform in the Metropolitan,
the Clover, the Orient
In fact, one of the reasons that brought
me here, I saw someone I used to perform
with as a dancer...
and another friend I saw, and was
with earlier, Tu!
Juan, Tu... you don't have a Tree?
Juan Dela Cruz!
Mother of... I know that guy!
Lolay?
One moment please?
Lolay! You disappeared, didn't you?
She's the one I was talking about.
Grandma! (laughing) Are you alright?
Jesus, Mary, Joseph! You spread-eagled!
Mr. Juan, is this the one you're looking for?
The very one!
Lolay!
Mr. Will, if you remember when
I played here before,
he's the friend I was talking about...
the one in the US.
You see, she can still do splits!
Grandma Lolay!
May I ask...
were you an item before?
What?
Were you lovers?
But you know, Will, his real sweetheart
is Aida.
Yes, it was Aida. Is Aida still alive?
Yes! Did you know that you sired
a child with Aida?
It's true! You have a daughter with her!
I have a daughter with Aida?
Yes! You still love her, don't you?
Where is she?
Take me to her.
Uh...
Uhm... uh...
You mean to say...
Mr. Juan has a child, and he didn't know?
Yes.
I really didn't know.
Ribio come here...
Well, alright, thank you!
We need to find out
the story behind
those old folks.
We need to know what really
happened with them.
What happened?
Idiot!
That's what we need to know!
Find out where they live!
Follow them!
The show goes on, dear friends!
Of course, we'll be right back, here at...
Wowowee! Wowowee!
Excuse me!
Here you go, sir.
What would you like to order, sir?
I'll have one special inasal.
One order of special inasal.
Is that all, sir?
How much?
It's only P99.00, sir. For dine-in?
Haaaaaah!
Boy! You're really terrified!
You shameless!
Why are you involved in so many issues?
I don't even know why the station
guards are after me.
This face...
angelic face... a face without sin?
Demonic face you mean!
Why are they hot on your tail?
I have no idea.
Yesterday, for instance...
one of the guards
chased me with a dog!
Chased you...
...chased me!
...the dog?
The guard!
And then?
Then I...
I kicked him!
The guard?
The dog!
Imagine... he jumped at me?
The dog?
The guard!
And then...
we wrestled.
With the guard, I bet!
The dog!
Then...
he bit me!
The dog?
The guard!
I bit back.
I'm pretty sure... it's the guard!
The dog!
You should have reasoned with him.
The dog!
It's hard to communicate with you.
I can't get a fix on what you say.
I know, you know where Aida lives.
Take me to her place.
You better take me there.
Uh...
They're here!
Over here!
Where?
Arrest him!
Oh no! How's this?
You're supposed to take me to Aida
Don't worry.
I'll help you with whatever troubles you have.
One request...
just a moment please?
We'll just pass by the house
to let them know where I'm going, and to get
at least an underwear before I go to jail.
Please, officer, grant his request.
Please?
Aida...
I have to leave...
go really far...
I'm gonna be in hiding, Aida
Now, when anybody asks you where I am...
tell them I'm out, asleep, busy, or sick...
huh?
Aida, don't worry, I have a lot of costumes
that I'll leave with you, you're gonna
like them... okay?
Whatever! Don't be sad and lonely.
I'll email you, okay?
Alright! Let's just twitter.
Remember everything I told you, okay?
Here's the other one! Where are you going?
Who? Where? Why?
Aahh! I'm going to Japan.
They need me there...
to audition.
She's one of the suspects we're after.
Arrest her!
That's not me! What are you talking about?
Uh... what is this? Let me go!
What's the problem?
Aida...
Who are you?
I think...
I think I know you...
I think you were...
a former playmate of mine... long ago...
It is me! It is me!
I'm taking you out ofhere.
I'll take you to a hotel.
That's where you'll stay for the time being.
I'll get you a better house
where you can move in.
Can I take my husband?
Husband?
Uh huh!
With whom are you married to?
My husband.
Aida, let's go, we have to rehearse.
Aida! Aida?
What's happening to you?
Are you feeling sick?
What's up?
Juan?
What's the meaning of this?
It's not what you think, Juan.
I thought you were my friend!
Juan! You've got it wrong!
You snake!
Juan! No, Juan!
I can never do that to you, Juan!
What?
Listen first!
Fight me!
Listen first!
Stop it, Juan!
Stop it, Juan!
Juan, stop it!
What are you thinking?
You think she loves you?
You're simply the fall guy since
she and I are at odds!
You're not thinking right...
I'm the lead act here.
You don't have even a speck of what I can do!
You're just a second stringer!
Stand up!
That's enough!
- What now?
That's enough!
Turibio! Forgive him.
He doesn't really mean it.
Let's go. Leave that animal alone!
You're the animal!
(sirens sounding off)
I'm not going with you!
Let's go...
So be it! You're on your own!
Basilio!
Crispin!
Basilio!
Crispin!
Aida!
Aida!
Juan!
Lolay!
Where's Aida?
I was inside during the explosion!
Where are you going?
Juan! Juan! What the... don't be hard-headed!
Juan! Juan! You could die there!
Juan!
Juan!
Tu...
You?
I can still remember very well...
the last time we saw each other...
I punched you and kicked you and beat you up...
Now...
You're the one who assumed my
responsibilities...
I even said...
I'll never leave you...
We'll stick together...
Until we grow old...
I also said...
I'm the lead act...
You're just a second stringer...
Tu, I was wrong...
It is I who is the second stringer...
and you're the leading man...
Thank you so much...
Why is he crying?
Juan...
Aida doesn't recognize me anymore...
That's why...
You can take her with you...
Wait a minute...
Then... where are you going?
I have done many bad things...
...that I have to pay for.
That's why...
If you can...
If you can take over...
- I'll take care of everything...
I'll take care ofher as I would my sister.
Wherever you're going,
make it brief and be back right away.
I might...
...lose it and sin against you.
She's still hot!
Why are you crying?
Don't you cry.
Let me wipe those tears.
Here's a kiss!
Here's a kiss!
No more sobbing!
No more!
Tu...
Grandpa!
Grandma!
Grandpa, why are there police here?
Mom, what's going on?
Dad, what's going on here?
That's not your father.
What?
This is your father.
What? He's not my father?
Er... Uh... did I say that? Uh...
What is the real story?
I'm not your real father.
- Dad...
You?
Mmm... hmm...
Dad... what is really the truth?
You're my father?
Mmm... hmm... It is I.
Dad...
Father...
Forgive me, my child...
Forgive me...
I didn't know...
I didn't know...
Forgive me...
Is that your son?
Yes.
Hey! And why... why... why...
are you crying with them?
Are you part of the family?
You're just arresting us.
Can we start all over again?
Yeah.
How are you dad?
I'm okay.
How about John? How is he doing?
Your brother...
does nothing but eat.
Alanna's here.
I love you dad!
I love you too.
Alanna, I love both of you.
And I miss you... and I'll see you soon!
Alright! I'll see you soon.
Okay?
Alright, bye bye!
Bye!
Dad...
Iook at your grandchildren!
They're so cute!
Say hello!
Hello!
Hi!
Hello Lolo!
When do we get to go play, Lolo?
Yes! We will play.
I love you kids!
We love you Lolo!
Okay kids.
Alright, we'll talk to you soon,
okay? I gotta get going.
I gotta make a phone call.
You have three kids!
With three mothers?
Of course!
Like father, like son!
And you're speaking in Filipino too?
Isn't it cool?
It's cool!
Dad, let me take this phone call, okay?
Alright. You've gone topsy-turvy!
- Okay. Hello?
Oh? You have to wire the money.
- Hi Tito John!
Hi! Hi!
Mom! Mom!
Hey there, son!
Bless.
Five!
My child,
we haven't seen each other for so long.
I owe you a lot.
Rest assured,
I'll really make it all up to you.
Dad, you don't need to do that.
What's important is...
I finally found you.
If you're my real grandfather,
give me money,
and lots and lots of toys!
Plus that big TV,
the LCD,
that would be nice!
Lito,
you shouldn't say such things.
No worries!
Anything you like,
I'll give it to you,
if my body can provide it,
if my pocket can afford it.
Now, once you get inside the house,
you'll find a big TV,
Samsung.
Wow!
The Lord is really amazing!
He already granted my wish!
It's there! Your grandma is watching there.
Wow!
Grandma... grandma...
Grandma...
Wow! It's such a big TV!
...there's light, and there's darkness.
There's someone who will open our hearts,
so we can help.
This has been established for
all the Filipinos
who have sadness in their lives.
And this is what mirrors the true lives
of real Filipinos.
Here, there is no favoritism.
Whether you're in slippers
or in suits, whoever you are,
whatever you do,
you're welcome here.
This is your home...
the home for Filipinos...
who have sadness in their hearts.
All of us here, will be bringing you joy...
and a little help... to the best
of our abilities.
Willy...
I thank you so very much!
No matter what happens,
I'll never ever leave you.
I'll take care of you, my love.
That's a promise!
And uh...
If you're in Wowowee,
your problems seem to disappear,
because... there's joy right from
the beginning
at the start...
there's dancing...
no matter who you are...
even if you're in a wheelchair
even if you have an illness...
what's important is that you're happy.
All Filipinos should be as one.
In any corner of the world...
if someone falls...
we help him...
if someone rises... we cheer for him...
and we honor him...
and we live by his example.
Life is tough...
so we need to always have open hearts...
for all Filipinos.
In other words,
Be a Filipno,
in your mind,
in your words,
and in your deeds.
This program
is a program dedicated to every Filipino.
Correct?
Hephep...
Hooray!

My countrymen,
a little silence please,
Will you please turn off your cellphones

And don't forget to support and

Projectionist! Start now!

We need to bust out of this place.
I thought of a way out
you have a way out?
How?
Uhm... I can open this.
You need a hammer?
Alright. Figure a way to hammer that open,
and I'll find a hammer.
Alright.
Here it is.
Whoa!
What's that?
The hammer.
It's too small.
I need something bigger.
A bigger hammer?
- Yes
Alright. Keep working on that.
(audience laughing)
Here it is.
I have a hammer.
(yelps)
What is that?
A bigger hammer!
It's too heavy.
We need to hammer it from the outside.
You're outside!
I'm outside?
I'm outside!
- How did you get out?
That means I can escape!
What about me?
- Here's the hammer.
What the... you do it!
See you around.
Hey! Hey!
How about me? I can't hammer this!
I can't fit between the bars.
How will I escape?
How indeed?
Aha! I know now! (snickering)
(sounds ofkey turning door unlocking
and opening).
Let's go! Alright.
Follow me.
Careful, they might hear you.
(nightstick tapping)
And where do you think you're going?
(Audience laughing)
Back.
To the cage, over here.
Back! Back!
I will lock it.
Lock it!
You even got the hammer, huh?
I use this to take my fingernails off.
(Audience laughing)
(engines roaring)
(audience freezes).
(speaking in Japanese) Enemy coming!
Run for your lives!
Right now!
(audience screaming and shouting,
footsteps rumbling)
Here... here.
- Tu, did you call everyone upstairs?
- -Juan! We might get bombed here, Juan!
You two behave like you're husband and wife,
when you're both men!
What are you, billy boys?
She's mine!
I can't do such a thing to you.
It's Lolay here who says all sorts of things.
Why me?
He's right, Lolay.
You're such a teaser!
Juan...
Juan...
Don't be afraid.
We won't leave each other.
All of you!
We won't leave each other.
We will stick together until we grow old.
(yawning) (exhales)
Ei, maw'nin' Mr. Juan! Rise and shine!
What?
Rise and shine! You...
you come with me for breakfast, aw'right?
(mockingly) Rise and shine...
Aw'right, come on!
Rise and shine your mama!
I don't understand what the hell you're saying...
rise and shine...
(chattering)
- Goodmornin'
Hey, why don't you eat your food?
It makes you strong and healthy.
You should eat your food.
How do you say... uh... uh...
How do you say... egg... in English?
Yes! Egg! How do you say egg in English?
Aaahhh... ha!
English?
(moans)
You... how do you say... uh...

(grumbles)
Lilian, come! Look it's Juan!
Where?
There! Come on, come on. Come on, let's go!
Hi handsome! Oooohh!
Lilian, look! It's a boy!
(giggles) Uh...

(fearful moan)
Oh! (spitting sound)
Oh, Lilian, come!
(chattering)
Mr. Juan! You sit over here.
Uh... Randilla!
Whazzup, yo!

Yah don't wanna eat?
If yah don't wanna eat,

Aw'right!
(gasps) My egg! Hey! My egg!
Hey, that's my egg! Don't touch my egg!
Hey, that's my egg! My egg!
Uhm... are you okay, Juan?
Hey! I've noticed that... lately...
you haven't been...
...talking!
You fell asleep again.
Yeah... pardon me.
It's really hard to have an illness
such as epilepsy.
Epilepsy is not your illness!
It's Narcolepsy!
It's when you fall asleep without noticing
...and instantly
That's it! Eclipsy!
(laughs) You know, Miting,
even if you are the way you are,
you entertain me, you give me joy,
because you're an idiot!
It doesn't matter if I'm an idiot,
as long as I see you happy.
What really seems to be your problem? Huh?
It's hard to explain.
Some other time.
Does your son know about this?
Hi, Dad!
I have two sons here,
but it's like, they're not.
Ahem!
Oh my God!
Oh, He's notjust your God.
He's our God too.
Also, a father-in-law's advice,
don't use the Lord's name for useless
expressions.
That's bad!
- Ugh! Mario! Mario?
My son has so many possible choices for a wife,
why did he marry a witch?
Hello? I'm still here! I can hear you.
Heller! I'm sorry.
I thought you evaporated in the air!
(sighs)
Juan,
It's better if you stay here, while I watch...
- Excuse me, is Ms. Alanna in?
Uh... yeah!
Oh... good morning!
I am Julie,
I am your new caregiver,
and I'll take care of you like a carebear.
Oh my goodness! Is he dead?
Oh, no. He's just sleeping.
Sleeping and standing?
Like a horse?
Exactly! Like a horse.
An old horse. (laughing)
(slapping sound) TV!
You go watch TV, I gotta run.
I'm taking a shower.
(screaming) Hey!
Please don't display your shortcomings!
- -Why did you expose that?
That looks like Chinese salted candy!
Troublemaker! Shameful!
Getting naked...
Hello! Hello!
Didn't I tell you our palabok,
bihon and sotanghon is good here?
Yeah! I'm so full!
Isn't it, my American friends?
Yes, it's uh... it's delicious food,
great atmosphere,
wonderful ambiance...
Atmosphere? Ambiance?
I don't think I know those words.
Food is the only word I understood.
(laughing)
Where you buy? Where you buy?
Buy what?
The ambiance and the atmosphere!
Is that available in any... uh...
grocery stores?
Yah! Yah! (laughing)
Anyway... uh... payday!
Uh... alright... two hundred dollars.
(laughing) Two hundred dollars?
Yes!
- No! No way!
(laughing) No. You have to choose.
Deal... or no deal...
or are you game?
Game on, C-bear! Go!
I choose...
no deal!
Here... five hundred pesos.
Here's your deal.
Five hundred?
- Five hundred.
You sit here.
My special guests for Wowowee!
Come, I'll take a souvenir photo of you.
Smile!
Come on, leche flan, let's go!
Thank you.
- Five Hundred
Goodbye!
Wait... wait!
You're gonna enjoy Wowowee!
- Five hundred only? What's this?
Wowowee?
Can you take us there? Weeweewee?
Are you interested in watching Wowowee?
Oh, yeah! Of course!
Are you sure?
- Yeah! For sure!
Well, that will cost you...
two hundred dollars each.
I'll give you a hundred and fifty each.
Please?
- One fifty each?
Well... okay.
Wowowee!
You'll have a special seat,
upfront.
You'll get a chance to meet... Willy.
And then,
you'll get the chance to play... Hephep...
HOORAY!
Hephep...
HOORAY!
(laughing, cheering and clapping)
- Break it down, break it down!
- Three hundred dollars? Okay!
Very good! Very good!

Smile!
(snapshot sound)
(cheerful sounds) (TV sound)
(door opening and bumping sound)
What's this? What are you all doing here?
You're not getting paid to watchTV.
Out! Go check there's a leak in
Mrs. Sander's bathroom.
You! Kitchen!
Everybody go to your respective rooms, now!
Come on!
You're so serious Orange Julius!
Come on! (muttering)
Nobody's supposed to watch TV at this time!
Out!
You're such a killjoy!
You know that?
Enough, Mrs. Tibbet!
(grunts)
Enough! You don't even understand the show.
(door slamming)
What's this again, Dad?
Didn't I tell you already that nobody
should watch TV?
Why do have to invite, even the staff
to come to your room and watch TV too?
There's something I'm waiting to see.
And who are you expecting?
We don't have anymore relatives in the Philippines.
I'm going to report this to John.
Bah! You speak so highly of your brotherJohn.
Let's see ifhe even says "hello" to you.
Alright, guys!
Thanks for coming today for this meeting
and you're probably wondering why you're here.
The big thing is we're doing this move
to try to acquire a company.
Pamela Sue is handing out a
Profit & Loss of United Capital,
which is this firm that we want to acquire.
Go ahead!
Make your ear swell and gather pus.
No one will answer the phone.
...because I want to buy this company for us.
But we need one thing,
and that's more money.
So, the meeting today is I need for you guys,
after this meeting,
to call your financing,
and your investors to help our firm
acquire this company.
This company has got some big potential,
and I don't wanna lose out.
Here's the issue though.
We don't have a lot of time.
Okay? We got thirty days to raise the money,
and I'm talking about a lot of money,
okay, 'cause, I'm telling you,
The mexican cartel,
corporations called Julio's
really wants to buy this project.
I want it for us first.
I told you so.
John, you see...
his role is to be busy with life.
Mario!
Who do you think are you talking to?
That's your father!
You scold him like a nobody, have a heart!
Mr. Miting, I wasn't talking to you, okay?
(breathes deep)
Mario!
Mario!
What? Your wife calls you and you already
tremble with fear!
Be a man!
Whoever is in need of you, should come to you.
(snoring sound)
(clapping sound)
(slapping sound)
(clanging sound) (screaming)
If that doesn't wake you,
I don't know what will...
You two...
you're both not doing yourjobs well.
(slamming sound) This is a warning!
Now get lost! Out! Get out of my sight!
Clara?
- What is it?
- Mario, dinner's at seven.
Okay.
Have you told him?
(whispering) I'll tell him later.
Fine! I'll do it.
- No, no, no, no! I'll take care of it, okay? Cla...
Dad?
Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?
Are you sure?
As if I'm thrilled to be calling you "Dad"
starting today,
it is forbidden to watch Wowowee!
(chattering)
Come on, C-bear!
Uhm... excuse me! Tickets please?
I have a ticket here! Right here!
Thank you!
This is fake. Sorry!
No! That could not be fake.
We bought it and it has signature on the BACK.
Yah!
Well, even if it has a signature at the "BACK,"
this is still a fake.
Fake at the back?
We paid a hundred and fifty dollars for these!
Yes!
Oh, mother! You got hustled!
Watching Wowowee is free!
You don't pay anything!
You just register to get a schedule.
C-bear...
Where are the guys who brought us here?
Yah. We've been scammed!
Scammed?
Scammed! Yes, see? S-C-A-M-B... scamb!
Yeah, we'll work on that, anyway...
Alright... alright... you go back there and
No! Don't touch my furcoat! It's leopard print,
you leopard! Excuse me!
Where's the driver? Driver!
- Leopard furcoat...
you may have dollars but you're so stupid,
you fall for scams.
(train trickling) (muttering sound)
There!
Here you go.
There!
You better not get the lion's share, Ribio huh!
Hey! That's a fair share! There!
Hey, Lolay! Scrimp and save that.
There's no telling when we can hustle again.
With so much we took from those
gullible TFC fools,
Ribio, there's a big chance they
went to the police.
You know, we should get inside.
Do you know anyone at ABS-CBN?
Are you daft?
If I did then I would have been a big star
since long ago.
Shush!
We're dead...
if we can't get inside...
our "business" is dead.
Our scheme on... Operation Wowowee
Kaput!
Oh, I just remembered... how is your wife?
She's still there...
still loving me as much.
Mario? Are you ready yet?
- Yup... yup... ready!
What are you wearing?
A shirt.
Look at me!
You're trying to make me look bad!
Well, what's wrong with my shirt?
You look like my driver!
You know, Tu...
I bet nobody can make me laugh today.
Well, I bet this will make you laugh.
There! That's funny! (laughing)
(audience laughing)
Nope!
Not yet?
Now that's really funny! (laughing)
(boisterous laughing)
Not yet.
Still nothing?
There! That's funny! Go ahead laugh!
- (audience laughing)
I really can't laugh.
Son, what should I do to you?
How about this?
Now that's really funny! (teasingly giggling)
Still ain't laughing.
Still ain't?
For sure, this will make you laugh.
There! That's really hilarious! (laughing)
There! That's frightening!
We better scram.
- Let's get the hell out ofhere...
All bets are in?
Of course.
What you need is that your cards
shouldn't go over twenty one.
If it goes over,
you lose.
(kissing sounds)
Stop munching on my ear!
I'm embarrassed to Tu.
Why should you be embarrassed to Tu?
You're the apple ofhis eye.
Come on, Tu,
show my Aida, your secret affection.
Come on!
Show her the look oflove!
You're really something...
how can you tell that he's got a crush on Aida?
Well, Tu is always staring at Aida,
Jesus! Well, you stare at me like I'm "lunch".
I'm only avoiding you because
I don't want to ruin your relationship
with Aida.
Lolay,
I don't eat bittermelon!
(gasps)
Come on, show her!
- Have pity on the guy.
Go ahead... take Tu's side...
and make his love for you grow stronger.
Tu is a good soul... easy to love.
(slamming sound)
Dear...
Aida...
Well then Tu...
don't you have
feelings of desire for me? Hmmm?
You know, Lolay,
I don't fall for women who look like
dried salted candy!
But Tu...
you can learn to love me, Hmmm?
Come on...
give me a chance... to prove to you...
come on, come on...
don't be shy... come on...
Takeshi,
is lunch ready?
Yes!
Okay.
Make sure that the produce that they deliver
are fresh, okay?
Yes!
Go check the dining area. Come on!
I'm tired of this sh...
What?
Uh... Thank you!
(groans)
Mr. Miting...
Mr. Miting...
Mr. Miting...
(clapping sound) (gasping)
- Mr. Miting...
What are you doing here?
Nn... nuh... nothing... nothing!
Then get back there because it's time to eat.
It's lunchtime. Go back to the dining area.
Quickly now, get back there.
(chattering)
I say... I come from the hood.
Which hood?
- The neighborhood!
Really?
Chiruwa!
You stay there.
Watch out for Mario.
When he comes, tell me, warn me.
For the channel... for the TV... alright?
Sorry, no speak, eh...
just English, English only.
English?
Okay. Uh...

and uh... you watch Mario...
watching watching Mario...
and then you see Mario...
and then tell me... and then...
honk... honking sound.
Oh, hammer!
No, not hammer, honking sound.
Honking sound, okay.
Okay?
- Yes, yes! Mario... stay dog.
Stay dog... yeah!
No more. There's not enough... (cheering sound)
Is this okay with you?
Huh?
- That's okay, brother Willie!
If you say so (cheering, clapping and laughing)
Are you okay with 150,
when the others are 1500, 2000...
It's okay with me, just for you.
Yes, sir! My Christmas gift to you.
Christmas gift. (laughing)
(christmas music playing)
(distant chanting) wowowee... wowowee
...wowowee
Dad?
(clanging and splashing sounds)
DAAAAAAAAD!
Are you touched by your mommy's statement?
Yes, sir.
- What do you wish to tell her? Look at her.
Uhm... Thank you... because...
What's going on?
Why are you crying and laughing
at the same time?
Ssshhhh!
I'll tell you later. Just watch Wowowee
...because even if you're struggling
to find money to put me in a private school,
You really work hard so I can finish school.
Thank you!
(clapping sound)
Oh! You're there, Bentong!
He was already there before I came in?
You've been here all along?
I'm just here, brother.
I didn't notice you.
What's he doing behind me?
You know, what you should do,
just stand here all the time.
Stay by his side. He's so cute.
Stay there!
(chattering sound)
(TV sound disappears)
Nobody's supposed to watch TV!
- (booing and heckling)
Do you hear me?
- (booing and heckling)
Nobody will watch Wowowee!
(booing and heckling continues)
(chanting begins)
Wowowee... Wowowee...
Wowowee... Wowowee...
Wowowee... Wowowee...
- Dad, can you please make them stop?
- Wowowee... Wowowee...
(silence)
(chanting resumes)
Wowowee... Wowowee...
(silence)
(chanting resumes)
Wowowee... Wowowee...
Why must you be the only one
taking care of your dad?
Why not your brother?
Alanna, I can'tjust abandon my dad!
One more bit of trouble from your dad
and he's out!
Alanna!
Alanna!
She's gone, Alanna is gone,
Of all the names to choose from...
it's so negative...
"Alanna"...
translated in English..."no more"
in Spanish..."no mas!"
Dad, is this what you want?
You want my wife and I to argue and fight?
Our lives are already in chaos!
Well, if you want to live in chaos,
then so be it! Let's all be in chaos!
Mother of...
What do we do now?
This... listen closely...
(snoring)
(snoring)
(slapping)
I'm sick and tired of slapping you
just to wake you up! - Wait... Juan...
Find someone else to talk to!
(chanting and chattering)
Wowowee... wowowee... wowowee...
Wowowee... wowowee... wowowee...
What's the problem?
What's the commotion locomotion?
This is an uprising!
A senior citizen uprising!
(speaking in fake chinese)
Wowoweela! Wowoweela!
Wow! Holy cow!
Brown cow!
(chanting continues)
- Please stop it!
Wowowee! Wowowee!
(chanting and chattering)
It's time to take your medicines!
(chanting and chattering)
(chanting and chattering)
I know! But you have to eat!
I know! But you have to eat!
Oh my goodness! STOP!
Mr. Juan, will you please tell them to
stop and eat?
They have to eat now!
- Now? I'm tired.
Go try and tell them now!
Wowowee! No eating!
Wowowee! No eating!
We're two different people, Mario,
I want to be in the big time!
I've got aspirations.
I want to be in an exciting environment.
And you...
you're contentjust running a nursing home.
Well, not that there's anything wrong with that.
It's just that I don't understand
why you have to be highly involved
with these people's lives...
and love them.
This is just a business.
It's my dad. Right?
You just can't stand him.
You want to know the truth?
I'm scared you're gonna turn out exactly like him.
We better go. We'll be late for our meeting.
Mario. They're here!
Alanna Dela Cruz! Nice to see you again!
Hello Dr. Calvin and Mr. Klein!
Sorry, we're late.
I'm sorry, Were you waiting long?
Aahh, about ten to fifteen minutes.
Filipino time! (laughs)
Well, welcome to the Belmont Village Assistant
Living Residences.
How do you find the place so far?
The place looks great!
- Very impressive!
Thank you!
Well, we're so pleased and excited
that you're interested in investing
with our company!
Bootyshake time!
Bootyshake time! It's time to shake your booty!
It's showtime! Let's shake it, right now!
We have some questions for you.
What's going on out there?
Is there a party going on back there?
No, uhm, excuse us, just, one minute,
- No party, Wait a second.
What's that sound?
What's going on here?
What in blazes is going on here?
And you! You find this funny?
Wait! Wait! Don't go down!
Our investors are there!
Wait... Eeeeeee!
- Alanna!
Alanna?
You're all fired! Fired!
Call 911!
Are you okay? Did you catch anything?
I hate you!
I hate you too! Bleeeh!
Juan! Juan! Jua...
(slapping)
With what's going on around this place,
we might even be able to negotiate a better deal.
Yeah! At least we see how they're running
things around here.
Hey! Look at this!
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
We're okay, you know, Everything's fine,
You like my bikini?
Something to be said.
Hup... Darna!
(laughing)
I haven't touched you yet,
touching you now...
- Ouch! (sobbing)
It's you! You started all this!
I caught you! You were dancing!
And you even taught the old folks how to do
your dancesteps!
What have you got to say now?
Sexy, isn't it?
Let's fix this, Okay?
- Ouch! Ouch!
Recovery is faster that way!
Mario, help me please!
Are you okay?
I want a divorce.
Hey dude!
Your daughter-in-law don't like it.
She's like rolling her eyes and moaning
wants to get out of the room!
Wow! You talk with American twang!
Uh huh!
You've been here long?
Uh huh! About two weeks.
Two weeks in Chicago?
Naaah huh! In the US!
You've been here two weeks
and you talk like that already?
Uh huh!
That's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it!
Uh huh huh, you like it!
But you better be careful,
the wind might blow you the wrong way.
Uh huh! You take care too, 'cause I care!
After a month, she won't understand
Tagalog anymore.
Uh huh!
You see? Some Filipinos...
Fine ride!
All is well between you and Alanna now?
Dad, I don't want to talk about it.
You're becoming like Alanna,
you've become too negative.
Dad, please!
But...
Dad, please! Can we stop this?
The word "please" has a different
meaning here.
From where we come from,
it's nicer when you say,
"Pass the water, please?"
"Pass the rice, please?"
Here?
It's "PLEASE! I DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU!"
So that's how you mean by the word here.
But this ride is really mighty fine!
Hey... this looks like...
it's a television!
Can I watch Wowowee here?
- Dad, there's no cable, there's no TFC.
This one... it's the sunroof, right?
- Dad, don't touch that!
You could get colds, it's freezing already!
Spoilsport!
This... what's this?
- Dad, that's for the windshield, no!
Don't! Don't!
We're dead!
I gotta go pee!
License and registration, please?
Uh... yes, officer. Here's my license
and here's the registration.
And uh... you want to tell me what happened?
Uh... my... my... my father was... uh...
Where is he?
There he is!
Hey! That's against the law!
No! It's against the car!
What are you doing?
Uh... washing the car.
Don't peep!
So what you're saying is that,
your father was tinkering with the dashboard,
you lost your concentration, and that's why
you hit the patrol car...
Let me answer this.
Miss beautiful...
beautiful... Berne.
You know, I was talking to my son,
And then pressed buttons in the dashboard,
and then... wha bang!
The police car... come over and... uh...
nature called me... I jingle-izer.
Wait... what is jingle-izer?
Jingle-izer is... uh..."weewee!"
Weewee...
- Dad, dad, uh, can you please stop talking?
You're getting us in deeper trouble.
Can you?
Uh, can I just use the phone?
I'm going to call our lawyer?
Yes, you can.
Thank you, Okay, Dad? Please?
Wowowee!
You have Wowowee here!
That's my favorite show!
Me, too, sir.
Are you a Filipino?
Of all the luck!
What a coincidence!
And you're eating my favorite too!
Yes.
How about you?
Go ahead, it's okay. I have some more here.
I just came from Seafood City.
Why, thank you! Thank you!
(TV chatting, cheering and applauding)
...now let's go to Grandma Lolay.
Grandma Lolay, how are you?
Hi, Will! I'm so happy!
I'm so very okay, Will!
Where do you come from?
I'm from Quiapo, Will.
Will. Wait a minute, Will! Can I kiss you?
Don't bother!
Oh come on, let me kiss you.
I'm just kidding.
She still smells good!
She's still desirable!
Lolay...
Greet your hometown friends,
where are you from again?
I'm from Quiapo.
From Quiapo, then greet them.
Hey! My neighbors in Quiapo!
I'm in Wowowee!
I'm a celebrity now!
To all the snatchers over there!
Do your best!
I have one grandson there
who's one of the best snatchers in town!
Grandson, don't get caught!
Or we'll have nothing to eat!
How old is your grandson?
Oh dear... he's only twelve!
Willie...
the snatchers over there are requesting
if they can all come and play
here in Wowowee!
Do you want that?
(audience cheering)
Maybe they should play against the police!
We'll make announcements soon,
grandma Lolay.
Grandma Lolay, are you...
what were you doing when you were younger?
My name is...
Lolay Baile
Baile as in dance!
Whoa!
You know Will,
I was a great dancer in my younger days!
Were you a dancer...
Yes, I was in a dance group before,
and we danced in various places.
We used to perform in...
where was that again?
Orient...
At The Orient...
and then at the...
at The Clover...
and uhm...
The Metropolitan.
And so many more!
We were touring and moving back then!
So that was yourjob when you were younger?
Oh, there were so many of us in those days.
I remember there was Nanding Poe,
the father of Fernando Poe.
He was our producer that time.
And then, for dancing,
it was Bayani Casimiro who was our
Dance Director.
For drama,
it was Domingo Prinsipe.
You know, Will,
it was difficult to be an entertainer
in those days,
because you need to be able to do
everything they tell you to do.
Drama...
uh... Comedy...
and Musical.
It's really tough!
So were you a good dancer back then?
I was really great back then!
- So, during your time, what did you do?
Can you do what Luningning does?
Chicken Feed!
Can you show us? Can you do it?
Oops, oops...
Waaaaah!
(shouting, laughing, chattering, applauding)
Grandma...
Owen!
Oh grandma...
Are you okay? You're okay?
Let's give her a big hand!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Oh, grandma, are you okay?
I'm still okay, Will.
How many kids do you have?
Oh, I'll tell you that some other time,
bacause they're so many I can't
count them right now.
I'm sure you had a lot of suitors before.
I had a fulfilling lovelife in those days!
Colorful...
Do you wish to greet anybody else?
Your friends?
You know, we are seen in Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao...
and every corner of the world.
Maybe you have relatives or friends abroad
that you wish to greet.
I remember one... Juan!
Juan Dela Cruz!
Hey!
He's in America now.
Juan!
If you're watching, send some chocolates.
Juan!
Who is Juan? Were you lovers or
friends or what?
Dancing partner?
Yes. He was lusting after me,
but I avoided him.
Why?
I didn't want to ruin the group harmony.
Is that so? Who else do you want to greet?
I have another friend... Tu!
Juan... and then Tu...
Yes! They were a tandem!
Juan Tu, Juan Tu, Juan Tu...
You already have Juan,
and you have number two also!
Go greet your numer two!
Hey, Turibio!
Hello!
So what's your talent?
Oh, I'll do anything to entertain everyone
watching Wowowee!
Is that okay with you guys?
(audience cheering)
So grandma, what do you want to do?
I want to dance with Owen.
Owen? Owen! Okay!
Go ahead, can you do it?
Presenting Grandma Lolay!
Maybe...
How can it be that you didn't know?
Lolay...
Tu's dead.
Worms are feasting on him for ages!
What do you mean dead? He's still alive!
Sigh...
why is she this dumb?
My Lord,
is there really someone this dumb?
I know now...
That when wisdom and dumbness poured
from the heavens, all you caught was dumbness!
Lolay...
your skull is filled with ashes!
As ashen as your hair!
Pretty, isn't it?
Lolay, have you forgotten?
Turibio is my name.
I sliced it, and threw away the Tu.
Ribio is left, so Juan couldn't find me.
Then you shout it out on the Wowowee show,
that the two of us were like a loveteam.
What are we?
John Lloyd and Sarah Geronimo?
Why do you have to hide from Juan?
If you don't know,
don't bother to know,
just forget this conversation.
Whatever, whatever!
But wait... what about our grand schemes?
Still pushing through.
I still make the plans.
Once we're in,
you take the lead.
Sigh...
she really is stupid
...stupid... stupid...
Okay, fine! Don't be mad.
It seems I'm getting it now.
What do you mean, "it seems?"
"Parang" is in the ricefields.
We are in Quezon City.
Old actors who have to be hustlers to survive.
Indeed.
That's good. That is a big boost
to our future.
I believe we still have a future.
Don't be mad anymore.
You might get a heart attack.
Cheers!
To your stupidity, Lolay!
I'm just hungry, I was a wise when
I was a kid.
Oh, Uncle John's here!
You mujst be hungry!
He wants to eat with you!
I made a bundle, Madelyn!
Yes.
Oh! By the gods, by the saints!
Why are you not eat?
Why are you not eat... Teach her later.
Hey dad!
Hi!
Hey bro!
Why aren't you eating?
You aren't either. You're always on the phone.
Hey, listen. I'll call you back okay?
My dad and my brother are here.
Anyway, you know what, I have to go.
Alanna is waiting for me.
Hey, Mario...
I hope you have more patience for
what happened.
If you and Alanna are thinking that...
I'm screwing up the home with everything I do...
you're mistaken.
Truthfully,
I'm actually trying to help you.
I'm trying to bring joy to all
your patients there.
The thing is, when we're watching Wowowee,
we were all joyful.
So why do you have to take thatjoy from us?
Don't you know
that we, at the home, are living
on borrowed time?
Maybe years... months... days... left.
Why prevent us from watching Wowowee?
That's when we're joyful.
Let us be joyful.
And...
the reason I watch Wowowee...
the feeling I get when I watch it...
is like I'm in the Philippines.
And it feels so good.
That's why both of you,
don't ever forget,
in your hearts, by your blood,
you're still Filipinos!
Remember that.
I'm not the only one who decides there.
Alanna and I make the decisions.
And that's what's wrong!
It's your family business.
You're the head of the family.
You're the one who should decide.
Nobody, nobody but you!
Dad, excuse me.
Here are Dad's things,
his passbook, and his passport.
He's cranky because what?
Well, I forbid him, and the other residents
from watching Wowowee.
Wowowee? The show?
Yup.
I remember that show from two years ago.
Yah! Which means you haven't seen Dad
for two years, what a great son you are.
Hey, you're always with him,
but you're always fighting.
I'm not the one he's fighting with.
It's Alanna.
How is she, by the way?
I'm gonna go, okay?
Mario... are you alright?
If you need anything, just ask me.
What do you mean,"if I need anything?"
What do you mean... help in what?
Opening your own thing.
Look, I'm pretty much set up.
Sure?
Look, just because you have more than I do,
doesn't mean I have nothing.
Mrs. Sanders?
Mr. Dorne?
Where is everyone? Why aren't they here?
Julie?
Chiruwa?
Randy?
Mario... Mario... I couldn't find the elders!
They're gone! Gone with the wind! Gone too soon!
What do you mean, "gone too soon?"
Where would they go?
I don't know. I cannot find them.
This can't happen...
Mr. Mario! Miss Julie! Hide us!
Are you alright?
(commotion)
Hi, officer!
Oh! Oh! Oh, Hi!
How are you? I miss you!
We were high school classmates,
Oh! Do you have a pistol?
Are you glad to see me?
It's a pistol.
I'm not glad to see you.
You're so funny!
Oh, you have big hands! What can it do?
May I speak with who's responsible here?
Uh... I... I am... officer.
Yes, well, I have good news!
Your ID braces are pretty strong.
The bad news?
Mr. Miting!
I'm sorry, officer.
If this happens again,
I'll have to revoke your license, okay?
And in the meantime,
I should be putting nasty fines for you.
I'm so sorry, officer.
Don't be upset.
It will never happen again.
But you can visit me.
Anytime!
With pistol!
Without pistol!
See you.
I'm sorry, officer.
Sorry!
I need to go... need to g... M... muh...
Mario... (rambling)
Go back to your rooms!
Now! Now! Go!
What are you, two?
Both of are fooling around!
Where are they?
Have they left?
Why were you touching my ass?
We don't have, papers, you see.
Illegal aliens, as they say.
That's why I pretended...
I'm black... while he...
While I... pretended to be Chinese...
when in truth... I'm from Leyte.
I, too... changed my name.
Back then, my name was Pulong.
"Pulong" translated in English
is "meeting" right?
That's why Miting became my name.
But, wait a minute...
You have to know,
that we can't accept illegal aliens here.
Our license will be revoked.
How about you, Julie...
are you also a TNT?
Oh, no! Of course not!
Technically, I'm not because I'm new
here in the States.
But eventually, I will be,
If I don't marry a white man.
My gosh! The callers are demanding
the refund of their payments...
and the others, are planning to file charges!
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
Please don't report us to Homeland Security!
Right! Please, at least, give us a little
headstart, for us lovers to run and hide.
Stop!
Don't shame yourselves in front of the elders.
The terminal is equipped with state-of-the-art
systems for information, check-in and immigration.
Is there no TFC?
Oh! Uh... what do you want...
original or hot and crispy?
TFC! The Filipino Channel!
Not the chicken! You turned it into KFC!
Aaahh! Pardonno mi senor.
But, we have shows like HBO, Star, Cinemax,
etcetera, etcetera...
SenorJohn, don't like TFC.
TFC is full of gossip.
But me? I have gossip for you. I like gossip.
I can see the baby's buttcheeks!
Be careful!
Your extended bumper is hitting my face!
Oh! Come on! I have gossip for you.
Very very nice gossip!
Come, come, come!
Come, baby, come. Come on, come on!
Downstairs, downstairs, downstairs!
I'm not bite you!
You're abducting me!
This is the gossip I have for you, SenorJuan.
You see these kids? These kids are said to be
SenorJohn's children from various women!
Someone always comes here... an NBA Laker.
NBA?
NBA Laker!
The guy who puts needles to test your blood
if it's the same with these kids.
DNA! Idiot!
You're talking about basketball.
So those are my grandchildren?
My ketol is whistling!
Wait...
Fool!
Ketol... That's a mosquito coil.
My grandchildren are so pretty!
(laughing devilishly)
Pamela Sue,
please make sure
you contact Fernice Fernally with
Crystal Capital Solutions.
Yes, I will.
And when is the meeting with Gina Go
with Wisdom Professionals?
Gina Go with Wisdom Professionals?
Yes.
Uhm... Wednesday, 2:00 pm.
And my flight to Miami?
Your flight at 8:00 am AldeguerJetlines.
That's perfect!
Hi, Andrew!
Have you had your DNA test? Mom is asking.
DNA test...
Andrew, I've been quite busy.
I haven't had the chance yet.
Are you too busy to find out if
I am your son?
No time forAndrew...
Shut up! Don't write this down!
None of your business!
Not my business...
Pamela Sue! Go to the car!
To the car...
Go! Disappear!
Disappear!
What happened with me and your mother,
happened a long time ago.
We dated...
Yeah, yeah... I know that part...
You kissed... you hugged... the adult stuff.
Yuck!
Then the baby came... which was me.
Listen son...
DNA or no DNA, you will always be my son.
So, you don't want me?
The relationship between me and your mother...
it didn't work!
But one thing did happen,
that was absolutely wonderful...
is we had you!
And, since you're asking...
you also have two other sisters...
and they're not with your mother.
So I have two other sisters?
Yes! It's, one big happy family!
You think I still care about that
stupid place?
Let the license get cancelled.
Let the place go to hell!
But you don't understand.
The senior folks got out,
got through the guards!
And you think, that's my fault?
Give me a break, Mario!
Give me a break!
You pay the fines.
You pay the damages.
You're on your own!
I'm done!
John, what do you mean Dad is missing?
He wasn't at breakfast today. He's gone!
Conchang, didn't he say anything about
where he's going?
I see no evil, I hear no evil,
and I speak no evil, senor.
Hmp!
Dad's passport and passbook savings account's
...missing.
Okay, thank you.
Dad just made a five thousand dollar
withdrawal from his passbook savings account.
What's he gonna do with the money?
I don't know!
Don't worry about him.
He survived the war. He'll survive this.
Yeah... but what's he up to?
I have no clue!
Manila has changed a lot!
I don't recognize it anymore!
But... the potholes are still there.
(laughing)
Our roads still riddled with holes!
Even people's pockets have holes!
But... there are others...
My gosh... their wallets are still so thick!
Why does your meter seem to run fast?
No it doesn't. That's normal.
Remember, whatever appears on that meter
will be your fare.
I notice that everytime we hit a bump,
your meterjumps with the bump.
Avoid the bumps!
That's exactly what I've been doing!
Look... See?
It looks like you're aiming for it.
Not really.
It's Papi!
Papi!
(laughing)
Wait for me!
We're close.
You're gay?
Of course not!
We're in friendster!
Your meter's really fast!
Jesus, Mary, Joseph!
My fare might reach ten thousand pesos!
Remember, we agreed, that whatever
appears on the meter is your fare.
Is that so?
Alright...
I guess I don't have to pay anything!
It says zero!
It says zero!
Why is this zero? Moron!
Why do you have to screw up now?
No matter! I still play fair.
Here... That's ten dollars!
Have your meter fixed.
Swindler...
A-B-S... C-B-N...
The Philippines largest network!
Here I come!
Oh... What's our business, bro?
Santino...
That isn't me...
and loitering is not allowed here.
What are you up to?
I'm not loitering, I'm waiting for someone.
Very well, then who are you waiting for?
Willy.
Willy... Willy who?
Who isn't entertained with Wowowee?
Oh dear... You're too early!
Willy's show's at noon!
I think you better eat first,
then come back here later.
Come back?
That's up to you.
Should I go home first?
Hello?
Where do I go?
That's your call.
Old man, have you no shame?
Why did you jump the line?
You go in line from the back!
This is your fault!
I was here earlier, first in line, all alone...
you told me to leave, and come back.
Now look, the line has gotten long,
and you tell me to start at the back?
Unfair!
Hey, guard! We've been here for so long!
Shush... It's alright. I said, it's alright.
Mmmmm... mmmmm...
(grumbling) Shush!
Oh... choose our next target.
Indeed! There's so many people!
I know now! There! That guy...
wearing the fuschia shirt.
Him!
Fuschia... can you spell that?
What the... fuschia... so easy...
F... F... Fuuu... Fuuu... him!
The one wearing fink!
Fink! Fuschia!
You are all worthless!
Awaste of the salaries I pay you!
You're only cheating the audience!
You give me nothing but shame!
Unsheathe your swords!
Let's do this!
Let us begin!
Turibio! It's over! What is there to begin?
It's over?
Even your theater career is over!
It's over... it's over... my life...
is almost over...
What's wrong, Tu?
Why are you drunk? Where have you been?
You see?
Is that the one you're helping?
Is that what a sane person does?
Getting drunk? When there's work to do?
Hey, you!
Starting tomorrow, find yourself another job!
He tells me to find something else to do...
(laughing)
Don't you worry.
If anyone of you goes, I go too!
You're going? I go with you!
Where have you been?
We have work, and you go drinking.
We have work? Where?
Let's drink? (laughing)
You think this is funny...
Come on, come on... stand up, come on.
Let's go.
You! Unsheathe your swords!
Does this look good on me?
Son of a... fuschia... it's Juan!
TFC subscribers... this way!
TFC subscribers over here.
Yeah! We are the TFC subscribers!
I'm the wife... this is the husband...
I love it when you get excited!
Yey!
If I had known you would get this excited...
I'm a TFC subscriber too!
Where's your ticket?
It's in Chicago.
You better get it first.
You can still make it to your flight.
Yeah... right...
I even got my parachute here.
Snobbish... stubborn... overly strict...
Santino!
What do we do? What ifhe sees us?
I'm so excited!
Wait a minute...
isn't that the guy who scammed us?
Yeah! The scammer!
Police!
Run!
You... come with me. You're life is in danger.
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Hey! What... where? (chaotic chattering)
Don't be difficult, we're being chased!
Everybody!
Boom tarat tarat... boom tarat tarat...
tararat tararat boom boom boom...
One more time!
Boom tarat tarat... boom tarat tarat...
tararat tararat boom boom boom...
Ouch!
Okay...
Safe and sound!
You've been acting weird!
You keep pulling me as if I know you!
You know me very well, Juan!
Hah!
Juan!
My best friend!
Tu!
Is that really you, Tu?
No other!
Tu...
Let's get out ofhere!
Long, what's my line?
Don't tell me you're gonna screw up your line?
"Thanks!" That's all you're gonna say.
"Thanks" only?
Maybe they'll have an idiot board for that.
You're the idiot!
Well I... I get nervous...
I want him to...
Oh! Hey there! Where are you going?
Hehey!
He recognized us...
These guys are actors!
We're notjust actors, we're stars!
You're comedians!
Yes! Superstars... superstars.
Yes! You know... these comedians...
You know them?
You need to tickle yourself first
before you can laugh.
So, you're a comedian too!
Long... uh... Longaniza!
No! It's just Long!
Isn't this one... is... isn't he Palito?
No, no! It's Brod Pete!
Brod Pete! Yes!
Can you help us?
The guards are looking for us.
What can we do to help?
Hide us.
And it ends there? What do we get for it?
I thought they're superstars.
Why do they need hustle money?
We're popular.
But we never said we have a lot of money.
Why me? You're the one cutting
a deal with them.
Come on. I'll pay you back later.
Pay me back?
Pay you back.
I know you so well, Tu...
Hey, hold it! That's a hundred dollars!
That's why I'm holding it!
This should be enough.
That's more than enough!
Five dollars should be enough for
scavengers like them.
A deal's a deal. No backing out now.
So, where will you hide us?
For a hundred dollars...
it will take thirty years and
they still won't find you!
Over here! Over here!
You'll be very safe here!
This way... straight ahead and keep going.
More dollars?
Hold it! I don't have much.
This is all loose change here.
These are super... Superstars! Super thieves!
Let's go to the moneychanger...
and let someone rob us later, right?
Right! Let's see the script again...
Uh... brod...
Have you seen...
Two old farts? None!
Hold it... hold it... one moment.
This is the props room.
What are you doing here? Who are you guys?
What do you mean who?
We're celebrities! As if you didn't know!
We are actors!
Indeed! Indeed you are!
Pardon me.
I'm always on duty, that's maybe why
I didn't recognize you.
Aaaaahhh...
Can I have a picture?
Sure, you can! One moment.
Thank you!
Smile!
Thanks!
We gotta go.
We have lots of scenes to be taped.
I wish you too become a star like us someday.
Okay, see you.
I'm so lucky! I had a picture with
someone popular!
Yes!
You have no shame!
After the war, they searched for you.
I couldn't find you. Now, I find you here!
Hooooo!
Don't give me excuses,
Who suddenly disappeared?
I thought you said we'll stick together!
So why did you leave like a popping bubble?
When I couldn't find you...
when we got separated...
what I did was take my chances in America.
Wait a minute, why is the guard after you?
Why?
Will tell you all about it later.
Right now,
I'll show you... how it feels...
to be left behind!
Huh? Tu!
Turibio!
Gotcha!
What are you doing here?
In the Wowowee line!
In the Wowowee line?
You're in the storage room! In line?
Huh?
I got lost.
You got lost? I don't think so!
You're with the other guy!
You're part of that racket!
I don't know that guy!
What do you mean, "you don't know?"
It's best you explain at the office.
At the office!
Ow! Aaaah... agh... ahhhh...
No. You don't understand.
We take care of our residents here.
The old man you saw...
the one in diapers...
he's my dad, okay?
My real life father.
We were just having some sort of argument
at the time and he was trying to...
that's it?
So you're... you're just pulling out?
No second chance?
Look, it's so unfair. You have all the papers.
It's not like we're in debt.
We just need fresh capital.
Le... How much money do you need?
John, let go of the phone, please!
Hello!
Hello!
Bro... He hung up on me.
I'm... I'm listening to you.
You beg for money... from others!
Your brother is right here, next to you!
Ask me!
What's the matter with you?
Look at this place!
It can be a goldmine!
Let me help you!
Make this the best assisted living property
in the whole area... in the state!
Come on! Let me in!
Come on inside! Dancers, stand by.
One minute!
It's standing by! Excuse me.
Excuse us please?
Wait... you're crowding me in!
Will? Willy! Will!
A big hand for the ASF Dancers!
(applauding)
Willy! They're throwing me out! I'm a balikbayan!
And they're throwing me out!
Hold it... hold it...
You're a balikbayan? What's the commotion?
They're throwing me out.
Dude?
He's our guest. Okay now, let him go.
Leave him... go on... you guys go out. Okay.
(cheering)
What is your name, sir?
Juan... Juan Dela Cruz.
Willy... you're such a handsome man!
Thank you father!
How did you get lost? I didn't go on stage
because it looked like, you're really
enjoying yourself out here.
You seem carried by the wind.
From where did the wind take you?
Chicago!
You have TFC?
Yes. A long time ago.
Okay, okay, will you look at this?
Eh... who's with you?
I have dreamed of seeing you!
You look like my sons,
and they're both handsome.
Thank you sir!
If you wish to greet anyone and everyone,
we have a full house today,
and we are being watched all over the world,
go ahead, greet them.
Will, thank you!
My sons! Mario!
John!
I'm now a star at Wowowee! Heeheehee!
Alanna!
Alanna, please be patient with me.
Get well.
If I was a pain in the butt,
please be patient with me.
I'm old and getting senile.
But I really do love you.
Take care of yourself over there.
I'm doing okay here.
I'm in Willie's care. Teeheehee!
Ahh, yes!
You know? Mr. Juan is a TFC subscriber,
and we are watched all over the world,
and he says he wants to sing.
Do you wanna hear Mr. Juan sing?
Owen! Owen! There!
There you go. Right here.
You're in the spotlight now.
And since you're the star of the moment,
go ahead.
I know, I'm sure, you will sing something
that can move emotions,
so go ahead, sing for us.
Presenting... my old man Juan!
(applauding)
If you can hear...
what I can hear...
I wish you are hearing...
what I'm hearing...
If you're facing me...
and I'm facing you...
If you look at me...
I will look at you...
let's look at each other.
That's an awesome song!
Are you... are you the composer?
Actually, I want us to sing together.
Is that so?
Well, what would you like to sing?
Eh... the one you often sing here,
I know very well too.
"It... is..."
Right! "It is you!"
A big hand for Mr. Juan, "It is you!"
Wow! Imagine that!
The song I sing, he and I will sing for you.
It seemed like a joke
that someone like you would come
with a love
that's faithful and true
because of you I experienced real love
To love you no matter who you are.
It is you that the heart is searching for
the one that gives joy, and sweetness,
and affection
to my life
It is you who is every dream I dream
Dreams that only you can fulfill
All of my dreams...
This is it. This is you.
My family. My countrymen!
Old Man Juan! Another big hand!
(cheering and applauding)
You sing very well, and to think,
you sang my song.
I want to thank you for that.
You have a sweet voice.
You haven't asked me, but I'd like to tell
you that I used to be on stage as well.
Really? I see.
And what did you on stage?
I used to perform in the Metropolitan,
the Clover, the Orient
In fact, one of the reasons that brought
me here, I saw someone I used to perform
with as a dancer...
and another friend I saw, and was
with earlier, Tu!
Juan, Tu... you don't have a Tree?
Juan Dela Cruz!
Mother of... I know that guy!
Lolay?
One moment please?
Lolay! You disappeared, didn't you?
She's the one I was talking about.
Grandma! (laughing) Are you alright?
Jesus, Mary, Joseph! You spread-eagled!
Mr. Juan, is this the one you're looking for?
The very one!
Lolay!
Mr. Will, if you remember when
I played here before,
he's the friend I was talking about...
the one in the US.
You see, she can still do splits!
Grandma Lolay!
May I ask...
were you an item before?
What?
Were you lovers?
But you know, Will, his real sweetheart
is Aida.
Yes, it was Aida. Is Aida still alive?
Yes! Did you know that you sired
a child with Aida?
It's true! You have a daughter with her!
I have a daughter with Aida?
Yes! You still love her, don't you?
Where is she?
Take me to her.
Uh...
Uhm... uh...
You mean to say...
Mr. Juan has a child, and he didn't know?
Yes.
I really didn't know.
Ribio come here...
Well, alright, thank you!
We need to find out
the story behind
those old folks.
We need to know what really
happened with them.
What happened?
Idiot!
That's what we need to know!
Find out where they live!
Follow them!
The show goes on, dear friends!
Of course, we'll be right back, here at...
Wowowee! Wowowee!
Excuse me!
Here you go, sir.
What would you like to order, sir?
I'll have one special inasal.
One order of special inasal.
Is that all, sir?
How much?
It's only P99.00, sir. For dine-in?
Haaaaaah!
Boy! You're really terrified!
You shameless!
Why are you involved in so many issues?
I don't even know why the station
guards are after me.
This face...
angelic face... a face without sin?
Demonic face you mean!
Why are they hot on your tail?
I have no idea.
Yesterday, for instance...
one of the guards
chased me with a dog!
Chased you...
...chased me!
...the dog?
The guard!
And then?
Then I...
I kicked him!
The guard?
The dog!
Imagine... he jumped at me?
The dog?
The guard!
And then...
we wrestled.
With the guard, I bet!
The dog!
Then...
he bit me!
The dog?
The guard!
I bit back.
I'm pretty sure... it's the guard!
The dog!
You should have reasoned with him.
The dog!
It's hard to communicate with you.
I can't get a fix on what you say.
I know, you know where Aida lives.
Take me to her place.
You better take me there.
Uh...
They're here!
Over here!
Where?
Arrest him!
Oh no! How's this?
You're supposed to take me to Aida
Don't worry.
I'll help you with whatever troubles you have.
One request...
just a moment please?
We'll just pass by the house
to let them know where I'm going, and to get
at least an underwear before I go to jail.
Please, officer, grant his request.
Please?
Aida...
I have to leave...
go really far...
I'm gonna be in hiding, Aida
Now, when anybody asks you where I am...
tell them I'm out, asleep, busy, or sick...
huh?
Aida, don't worry, I have a lot of costumes
that I'll leave with you, you're gonna
like them... okay?
Whatever! Don't be sad and lonely.
I'll email you, okay?
Alright! Let's just twitter.
Remember everything I told you, okay?
Here's the other one! Where are you going?
Who? Where? Why?
Aahh! I'm going to Japan.
They need me there...
to audition.
She's one of the suspects we're after.
Arrest her!
That's not me! What are you talking about?
Uh... what is this? Let me go!
What's the problem?
Aida...
Who are you?
I think...
I think I know you...
I think you were...
a former playmate of mine... long ago...
It is me! It is me!
I'm taking you out ofhere.
I'll take you to a hotel.
That's where you'll stay for the time being.
I'll get you a better house
where you can move in.
Can I take my husband?
Husband?
Uh huh!
With whom are you married to?
My husband.
Aida, let's go, we have to rehearse.
Aida! Aida?
What's happening to you?
Are you feeling sick?
What's up?
Juan?
What's the meaning of this?
It's not what you think, Juan.
I thought you were my friend!
Juan! You've got it wrong!
You snake!
Juan! No, Juan!
I can never do that to you, Juan!
What?
Listen first!
Fight me!
Listen first!
Stop it, Juan!
Stop it, Juan!
Juan, stop it!
What are you thinking?
You think she loves you?
You're simply the fall guy since
she and I are at odds!
You're not thinking right...
I'm the lead act here.
You don't have even a speck of what I can do!
You're just a second stringer!
Stand up!
That's enough!
- What now?
That's enough!
Turibio! Forgive him.
He doesn't really mean it.
Let's go. Leave that animal alone!
You're the animal!
(sirens sounding off)
I'm not going with you!
Let's go...
So be it! You're on your own!
Basilio!
Crispin!
Basilio!
Crispin!
Aida!
Aida!
Juan!
Lolay!
Where's Aida?
I was inside during the explosion!
Where are you going?
Juan! Juan! What the... don't be hard-headed!
Juan! Juan! You could die there!
Juan!
Juan!
Tu...
You?
I can still remember very well...
the last time we saw each other...
I punched you and kicked you and beat you up...
Now...
You're the one who assumed my
responsibilities...
I even said...
I'll never leave you...
We'll stick together...
Until we grow old...
I also said...
I'm the lead act...
You're just a second stringer...
Tu, I was wrong...
It is I who is the second stringer...
and you're the leading man...
Thank you so much...
Why is he crying?
Juan...
Aida doesn't recognize me anymore...
That's why...
You can take her with you...
Wait a minute...
Then... where are you going?
I have done many bad things...
...that I have to pay for.
That's why...
If you can...
If you can take over...
- I'll take care of everything...
I'll take care ofher as I would my sister.
Wherever you're going,
make it brief and be back right away.
I might...
...lose it and sin against you.
She's still hot!
Why are you crying?
Don't you cry.
Let me wipe those tears.
Here's a kiss!
Here's a kiss!
No more sobbing!
No more!
Tu...
Grandpa!
Grandma!
Grandpa, why are there police here?
Mom, what's going on?
Dad, what's going on here?
That's not your father.
What?
This is your father.
What? He's not my father?
Er... Uh... did I say that? Uh...
What is the real story?
I'm not your real father.
- Dad...
You?
Mmm... hmm...
Dad... what is really the truth?
You're my father?
Mmm... hmm... It is I.
Dad...
Father...
Forgive me, my child...
Forgive me...
I didn't know...
I didn't know...
Forgive me...
Is that your son?
Yes.
Hey! And why... why... why...
are you crying with them?
Are you part of the family?
You're just arresting us.
Can we start all over again?
Yeah.
How are you dad?
I'm okay.
How about John? How is he doing?
Your brother...
does nothing but eat.
Alanna's here.
I love you dad!
I love you too.
Alanna, I love both of you.
And I miss you... and I'll see you soon!
Alright! I'll see you soon.
Okay?
Alright, bye bye!
Bye!
Dad...
Iook at your grandchildren!
They're so cute!
Say hello!
Hello!
Hi!
Hello Lolo!
When do we get to go play, Lolo?
Yes! We will play.
I love you kids!
We love you Lolo!
Okay kids.
Alright, we'll talk to you soon,
okay? I gotta get going.
I gotta make a phone call.
You have three kids!
With three mothers?
Of course!
Like father, like son!
And you're speaking in Filipino too?
Isn't it cool?
It's cool!
Dad, let me take this phone call, okay?
Alright. You've gone topsy-turvy!
- Okay. Hello?
Oh? You have to wire the money.
- Hi Tito John!
Hi! Hi!
Mom! Mom!
Hey there, son!
Bless.
Five!
My child,
we haven't seen each other for so long.
I owe you a lot.
Rest assured,
I'll really make it all up to you.
Dad, you don't need to do that.
What's important is...
I finally found you.
If you're my real grandfather,
give me money,
and lots and lots of toys!
Plus that big TV,
the LCD,
that would be nice!
Lito,
you shouldn't say such things.
No worries!
Anything you like,
I'll give it to you,
if my body can provide it,
if my pocket can afford it.
Now, once you get inside the house,
you'll find a big TV,
Samsung.
Wow!
The Lord is really amazing!
He already granted my wish!
It's there! Your grandma is watching there.
Wow!
Grandma... grandma...
Grandma...
Wow! It's such a big TV!
...there's light, and there's darkness.
There's someone who will open our hearts,
so we can help.
This has been established for
all the Filipinos
who have sadness in their lives.
And this is what mirrors the true lives
of real Filipinos.
Here, there is no favoritism.
Whether you're in slippers
or in suits, whoever you are,
whatever you do,
you're welcome here.
This is your home...
the home for Filipinos...
who have sadness in their hearts.
All of us here, will be bringing you joy...
and a little help... to the best
of our abilities.
Willy...
I thank you so very much!
No matter what happens,
I'll never ever leave you.
I'll take care of you, my love.
That's a promise!
And uh...
If you're in Wowowee,
your problems seem to disappear,
because... there's joy right from
the beginning
at the start...
there's dancing...
no matter who you are...
even if you're in a wheelchair
even if you have an illness...
what's important is that you're happy.
All Filipinos should be as one.
In any corner of the world...
if someone falls...
we help him...
if someone rises... we cheer for him...
and we honor him...
and we live by his example.
Life is tough...
so we need to always have open hearts...
for all Filipinos.
In other words,
Be a Filipno,
in your mind,
in your words,
and in your deeds.
This program
is a program dedicated to every Filipino.
Correct?
Hephep...
Hooray!
(Wowowee music playing)
