[crickets chirping]

Lando, you’ve been out drinking with your friends for days now.

You know Marco is still grieving.

We’re just trying to be there for him, Romina.

Lando, stay for a while.

Are your friends more important to you than your wife?

I really need to leave, Romina.

Okay?

I’ll be back in the morning, alright?

Get something ready for me to eat.

I'll go ahead.

Mom, I’ll be off now.

Okay. Take care.

Alright, Mom.

Dear…

Dear…

I’m have a feeling your husband has another woman.

I’ve not been able to get him interested in me for a while now, Ma.

I think he no longer loves me.

You’re the wife, you need to stand up and fight for him.

Cheers! Drink up!

Bro, where’s your friend, Lando?

In the bathroom, with his friend, Sue.

Guys, I’ll just take a pee, keep drinking.

There you go again, bro.

Off to pee, or off to go home?

I’m off to pee!

[men chattering, laughing]

He was exactly like that last time.

You seem quiet, Andoy.

You know me, I’m always quiet.

[moaning, heavy breathing]

- Let's drink! - Cheers to that!

- Don’t tell me you’re off to pee next. - Lando is really something else.

[water trickling]

[panting, heavy breathing]

Lando…

[heavy breathing, moaning, panting]

Hey, you can have breakfast here.

Sure, if it's okay.

Mina, Marco’s having breakfast here,

- set up an extra plate, okay? - Sure.

Bro, take a seat.

That's my favorite, man.

I think I had too much to drink last night.

Can you get us some coffee, Romina?

Bro, sit down.

So how was your drinking session last night?

It was alright.

Marco here got so wasted he was puking all over the place.

Your husband is such a liar, Romina.

Marco, how are you and Joanna?

She’s never gotten back to me, even if she’s sometimes online.

Forget about Joanna, Marco.

There are a lot of whores out there for you to screw.

[laughing]

Hey Lando, watch your mouth!

Sorry.

So how’s everything? Did Joanna ever find a job in Manila?

Ma’am, I really haven’t heard from Joanna since she left.

I see… Just keep eating, I’ll head out for a bit.

Joanna already left you for an American.

Do you really think she became a housemaid?

I’m really in a hurry,

- Hmm? - I won’t be able to finish all this.

Bro, just keep eating, I’ll just go get changed.

Sweetie…

Give it to me.

Lando, can you come with me to the hospital?

Jasper is still quite feverish.

Just ask your mom to come with you.

I really need to go to work.

Babe, I’m off to work, let’s do this later.

Marco...

Bro, Romina needs you to come with her later

because she needs to bring Jasper to the hospital.

- You got it covered, right? - On it, bro.

- You take care. - You guys take care too.

Lando, what do you want for dinner tonight?

I’ll be back late again tonight, Romina.

I’ll do overtime so we can cover Jasper’s extra hospital expenses.

Alright?

I’ll be on my way.

Take care.

[mumbling]

Romina, hurry up!

We still have to go to church!

[baby babbling]

Are you okay, Romina?

Seems like you're lost in thought.

I’m okay.

Dear, could you wait for us here?

Will do, Ma’am!

[baby wailing]

Sisters, I’m really sorry.

I can’t come to our prayer meeting.

When is the next prayer meeting?

- Romina, how are you? - I’m doing okay.

Jasper has a fever, we’re taking him to the hospital.

Fevers are in season now.

You know what, you should bring him to Mang Antonio,

the town healer.

Where would he be?

Just here in Pola, at the foot of the mountain.

Why don’t you try visiting him?

Sheila, congratulations on your wedding!

Thank you!

Come on.

Alma, we’re really sorry.

My grandson is sick and we’re taking him to the hospital.

Sure, sure.

[baby wailing]

Ma, why don’t we just go to Mang Antonio, the town healer?

Instead of the hospital?

Antonio?

Sheila’s kid got better when they took him there.

It’s been a long time since I last went there.

Okay, get in.

Where are we off to, Ma’am?

Let’s go straight to Antonio’s, dear…

- To Mang Antonio's? - Yes, out there in the fields.

Ma’am! Good morning!

Glenn! Where’s Antonio?

Inside, just go right in!

We'll go straight through there.

Sit right over there.

Trinidad, Romina, what brings you here?

My grandson is sick.

What happened to your kid?

He fell off a huge coconut tree,

Mang Antonio said he was hexed by a dwarf.

Romina, how’s Lando?

Is he working at the market now?

He works at a restaurant near the market.

Oh… I often see him at the market, I thought he worked there now.

Martin, if he still has a fever within three days,

- come back here, alright? - Okay.

Thank you, Mang Antonio…

Let's go.

Aling Trinidad, Romina, we’ll go on ahead.

Good afternoon to you, Trinidad.

What brings you two here?

Jasper has a fever.

What happened to you, little boy?

I see… He does have a high fever.

We passed by the church and saw Alma there.

She was the one who suggested we come here.

Ah, yes.

She did drop by with Sheila not too long ago.

I didn’t know Sheila got married to her boyfriend.

I thought for sure they’d break up.

You know what, I did help Sheila out.

She asked me to prepare a love potion for her.

You make love potions?

Of course I do!

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t…

What does one need to bring so you can make a love potion?

I told Sheila to bring Joseph’s used clothes and his photo.

Those are the crucial ingredients for a love potion.

Thank you.

Mama, mama…

Let’s go now, baby.

Thank you…

Oh wait. Here are the kid’s slippers.

Thanks.

Ma…

Hmm?

When you and dad split up, did he have another woman?

He did…

Dad left you for the other woman?

Yes.

Did you fight for your relationship?

My child, only God knows how much I fought for your father to stay.

Ma, did Lando come home last night?

No.

- To the market, please. - Alright.

Hey Romina, good morning!

Good morning Martin, I see your kid’s all better now?

Yes! Tatang Antonio is really good!

The pain in his shoulder has completely gone!

I’ll go ahead.

- Fix that… You want it delivered later. - Will do.

Did you see Lando here just now?

Huh?

We don’t know any “Lando”.

Hmm...

Are you buying anything?

Nothing… Okay, thanks.

Romina, where are you off to?

Let’s go, I’ll take you…

Alright, to Tatang Antonio’s.

Right here,

you can drop me off here.

Romina, I’ll wait for you right here.

Don't bother. I might be a while.

Look for another passenger, don't pass up the money.

Thank you.

No Romina, I’ll wait for you.

- Oh, Romina, it’s you. - Is Tatang Antonio around?

Just take a seat.

Tang, it’s Romina.

Come on inside…

What brings you back here?

I need a love potion.

Are you and Lando having problems?

I have a feeling Lando has another woman.

How can you be so sure?

He hasn’t come home in days,

and it’s been a really long time since I was able to seduce him…

Do you know who the other woman is?

I have a feeling who it might be,

but I haven’t confirmed yet.

Romina, you don’t need a love potion to seduce your husband.

I love my husband, and I will fight for what we have.

Did you bring any of his things?

Glenn, close the windows and bring in our equipment.

Alright.

[chanting, heavy breathing]

[humming]

[nipping sounds]

[guttural humming]

Argh!

Glenn, put a little water in here, and boil it.

Alright.

Tang, here it is.

Romina, drink this before you first get close to your husband.

But, don’t you ever get near to any other man.

Thank you. Really.

Tang, here’s my payment.

This is not enough.

I’m sorry, Tang, that’s all I have today.

I’ll bring you the rest tomorrow.

Alright.

Thank you.

No worries.

Ma?

Lando...

[heavy breathing]

[moaning]

Romina.

- What? - I’m tired.

Romina, I’m tired…

Just sleep.

Lando?

Lando.

Why are you here, Romina?

Where's Lando?

Lando and I had a fight.

You know what, Romina? You should just leave Lando.

I know he’s my friend, but he’s no good for you, Romina.

Why? What did Lando do?

Tell me, does he have another woman?

Yes.

Who?

This girl from the market. Her name is Sue.

- Brother. - Hey, bro. Good evening.

Hey man, you good?

- I’ll just get dressed. - Sure, sure.

Boss…

Tang.

Tang, I don’t think the love potion worked.

It can’t be that it didn’t work.

It did work, but on someone else…

Oh? So what is it you need from me now?

Tang, I need a stronger potion.

I want you to hex Lando’s mistress.

Romina, if your husband doesn’t love you anymore, just leave him!

Tang, please help me out!

I’m not a sorcerer, I’m a healer!

Alright…

Bring me anything that belongs to your husband’s mistress.

I will…

Thank you.

Sharmaine?

Yes?

I’ll just go to the bathroom, look after the store, alright?

Okay. Sure, Ma’am.

Good day! What do you need?

Go ahead and browse.

- Sharmaine, did you see my bag? - What?

It was here just a while ago, didn’t you notice?

- It should just be there. - Of course!

Oh no…

Did someone buy something, or did anyone come in here? What?

Just one person, this lady…

Sharmaine, you’re such an idiot!

- I’m so sorry! - You’re still new,

- and you already messed up! - The lady must’ve stolen it!

- Oh! And you’re realizing it just now? - Yes!

What the! You’re really pissing me off!

I don’t know what to do now!

She should still be here…

Go out and chase after her!

Check if she’s still there!

Why don’t you hurry up?!

She’s not there anymore.

Glenn, where’s Tatang?

Romina, he’s still with a client. Take a seat first.

Are you okay, Romina?

No, Glenn.

To be honest, I never wanted any of this.

You’re free, Romina.

You don’t need your husband.

I wasted five years of my life on Lando and he just threw it all away.

I just can’t accept he chose to be with someone else.

The truth is I don’t even know who I’m doing all this for...

If I’m doing it for myself, or for Lando.

Let’s go, Romina. It’s your turn.

Tang…

Where did you get these?

In the market,

where Sue works.

Be very careful, Romina.

You’ll be in danger if you go overboard.

Romina, if this still doesn’t work, just leave Lando.

There’s nothing more we can do.

Romina, come over here.

[heavy breathing]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello?

What?!

Okay, okay. I’m on my way.

Yes.

Uh, there’s an… There’s an emergency…

Emergency where?

At the restaurant… Rommel needs help.

Emergency? Restaurant?

It’s already late, can’t Rommel handle it himself?

Romina, please!

Stop it with the questions.

You’re going to Sue, right?

What are you even talking about?

Who’s Sue?

I’m going to the restaurant because of an emergency.

Don’t you understand that?

Rommel can handle it himself, you’re off-duty tonight!

Hello, Rommel?

Hello, Romina?

Is there an emergency at the restaurant now?

Can you check?

There is no emergency, why?

Babe, babe!

Babe!

Babe!

What happened?

Babe, I can’t breathe! I’m so dizzy, I’m burning up!

I don’t know what’s happening!

Hold on, hold on…

Here you go…

Go ahead, keep wiping me down!

Is it okay now?

I'm okay now.

I’m just here.

Lay me on the bed.

Here, right here.

[waves crashing on the shore]

You were the one who took Sue’s bag?

I’ll give it back right away, I didn’t take any money.

I’m gonna tell on you!

Please let me off the hook just this once,

I’m just going through some stuff.

Uh, okay.

But just this once, alright?

You have to give it back tomorrow. If you don’t, I’ll tell Sue.

What’s your name?

Sharmaine.

Shairmaine, have you ever been in love?

Yes, of course.

So have I.

It’s just that, the one I love doesn’t love me back…

Huh? But you're beautiful though...

You can't have everything, just because you're beautiful…

That doesn't measure a woman's worth.

Sorry. It's already late. We have to go home.

[heavy breathing]

[panting]

Sir.

Go ahead, sir.

Sir… Thank you…

Is there a police station nearby?

- Over there. - Right over there, Sir.

- Alright. Thank you. - Thank you as well.

Bro?

Bro? So what am I gonna use, bro?

I’m here at the restaurant, where are you at?

Okay, alright.

Okay.

It’s so hot! It’s really summertime now.

You’re absolutely right, Ma’am Sue.

Aren’t you going back to Japan yet?

If only I could go back to Japan right away…

I’d like to go there as well. How do you apply to get there?

Why?

- Really? - Ma’am Sue, I’m serious!

- Do your job properly first. - Okay, fine.

Bro!

Bro, let’s exchange rides for a while, yeah?

- Sure. - What are you gonna use it for?

Just going somewhere.

Thank you.

You’re just off to mess around with some chick!

- Hey, take care of my ride! - Yeah, bro!

Oh!

I’ll leave you in charge here, alright? I’m counting on you.

Alright, Miss Sue.

And don’t turn your back all the time!

Geez, Miss Sue...

So, are we going straight to your place?

We can’t, my mom’s there. Let’s go someplace else.

No problem, I got it covered.

[heavy breathing]

[heavy panting]

- Rommel. - Bro! Uh...

Can we trade shifts for the next few days?

I might need to go home late some nights…

I’ll have to check first, Sir Lando, I might be busy in the coming days.

- Alright. - I’m off…

- Take care, yeah? - Thank you.

On this Sunday, a day for the family,

we continue to strive to keep our family whole and happy,

one that we had fought hard for since we first fell in love.

Emotions that had motivated us,

and we had passionately fought for so it can become a holy sacrament

The family that we nurture

is continually under attack by the enemy through many temptations.

So let us whole-heartedly reflect on things all around us that drive us to be sinful.

[distorted voices echoing in the background]

Romina...

I'm sorry, Ma. I'm really not feeling well.

Tatang?

Tatang? I know you’re in there…

Romina, that’s enough!

Tatang, let me in! Tatang?

Romina, enough! Stop it!

Tatang.

Tatang, please help me… You’re the only one who can help me!

[giggling]

Don't you know that the whole town’s been talking about you?!

Tatang!? I don’t care anymore!

It’s like I’m the one who’s sick, please help me!

Romina.

Why’d you come back?

Didn’t we agree that if the last potion didn’t work, you would stop?

Tatang, it’s as if something’s gotten a hold of me…

Help me please, I’m begging you….

[mad chuckling]

Alright, we’ll go to the river right away.

Romina, let’s go.

Tatang, here’s my payment.

I will not take your money, all I want is for you to get better.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

[giggling]

[water streaming]

This is where Tatang brings those who have serious maladies.

Tatang believes that the flow of the water here has mystical healing powers.

There are things that Tatang can no longer handle,

he is human after all.

But nature is different… it has a different kind of power.

Romina, come over here…

Lie down over there.

Glenn, the incense…

[water streaming]

You are now healed, Romina.

Glenn…

You take over from here.

[laughing]

[joyous laughter]

Lando!

[giggling]

[panting]

[crying]

[whimpering, sobbing]

[whimpering, sobbing]

[panting]

Lando, aren't you going to break up with Romina yet?

We’ve been together for almost six months now, Lando.

What about me?

You always say you’re gonna leave that crazy woman, but...

until now you still haven't.

And I’ve heard so many rumors about Romina already,

you should really leave her.

I told you I’ll be marrying you someday, right?

Sorry, babe.

What time is your mom coming home?

Maybe around… A little later, she’ll probably be very late.

[loud banging on the door]

Lando, open this door!

Lando, I know you’re there!

Open the door!

Calm down, Romina. Calm down first!

You shameless bastard! Open this door!

Sue! Where are you?!

Romina! Romina stop it!

Lando! Get your hands off me!

Did you know how much you two have hurt me!?

My family is nearly ruined!

Romina, calm down. Romina, stop it…

It’s not just me that you hurt me! You hurt her too!

[sobbing]

Romina… Forgive me, please, forgive me Romina…

Forgive me!

It’s not you who should be asking for forgiveness, it should be him…

Lando… Is this the woman that you love?

[heavy breathing]

What does she have that I don’t?

Sue, you’re also mine now.

[moaning]

[panting]

Romina! Stop it! That’s enough!

Lando, let us be!

[moaning]

[heavy breathing]

Lando, what’s this! What’s happening!?

Just a second, auntie, just a second!

Sue?

Sue?

What’s all this Sue, huh?

What’s happening?

You’re so stubborn, I told you many times to leave that man!

You're not listening to me!

I told you let’s just go back to Japan!

This is what you get from staying here!

Romina! Can we talk for a bit?

Lando, enough!

I’m asking you to forgive me for all the sins I’ve done against you!

I just want to…

Romina...

Lando, I don’t need you to beg for mercy and I also don’t need your pity.

You don’t need to come home anymore, I no longer need you.

My dear child, please stop whatever you’re doing…

Have mercy on yourself.

Yes, mom.
