Dad, this house is in Laguna. They just acquired it.

This one’s in Batangas.

It’s magnificent, the way they restored it.

Look at this one, see,

I think this one’s in Vigan if I’m not mistaken...

But they’re not all for sale,

because some of the owners refuse to sell.

What about our house?

You forgot already, Dad? We sold it for ten million.

They initially paid four million.

Then the next three million when the house has been dismantled.

When it’s transported that’s when we get the full payment.

- Are the beams leveled already? - Yes.

Hon?

I want to show you something.

I want white plaster on that area,

It will make the place more homey, add to the country feel.

And since we’re surrounded by nature,

I prefer the landscaping to be minimal,

short type of plants, if that’s okay with you.

Yes. Wait.

Foreman, how long will take to finish that?

About a month.

It’ll take a month before we start landscaping.

Okay, I’ll just go inside to check what I can do with this area.

My wife’s so excited to build our dream house.

She’ll design the interior herself.

What’ll we do next?

We'll place the trusses.

Foreman, for the flooring,

- let's just pour cement here. - Yes.

- I’ll tell Jane so it’ll be faster. - That's right.

- There’s been a lot delays. - It's been raining, sir.

If we pour cement then laminate, but it will be slippery.

You mentioned brickstone before?

- Sir Raffy? - I'll tell Jane...

Sir?

Sir Raffy?

- Foreman, I'll be back. - Okay, sir.

Wait.

What is it?

Sir, we have a problem.

We received the decision.

They filed a malversation case against you...

Wait. What happened exactly?

They saw the receipts of the materials used for your house.

Sir, they pressured Elmer to confess.

Alright, go and I’ll meet you there.

- Yes sir. - I'll be there.

Alright.

Alright.

- We'll go now. - Thank you sir.

Help him!

Help! Help me!

What happened?!

Let’s take him to the hospital!

This way!

Watch your step!

Bong! Start the truck!

Bong, the truck! He’s badly hurt!

Hurry, he needs a doctor!

Foreman, please take care of this.

Yes. I’ll attend to it.

Quick, Bong! The truck!

Gently, be careful!

Get in!

Hon, who came to talk to you?

What did they say?

That’s nothing.

Hon?

Is there something you’re not telling me?

Why are you questioning me?

Why are you thinking that?

I’m not hiding anything...

What the fuck!

- What are you doing? - Stop that.

You’re yelling at an old woman.

Are you alright?

- Hey. I’m sorry, - I'm alright.

Hon!

Ma’am!

Ma’am!

Are you alright?

Are you okay?

I didn’t mean to.

I’m very sorry.

- I’ve received the initial payment. - Mom...

Oh, hello dear.

- You came at the right moment. - Hello.

We’re having snacks.

- Hello. - Hi, Granddaughter!

God bless you!

Have you eaten? We're having fried noodles.

Come on.

Mom, what have you been working on?

I’m just showing him Casa Manila.

- We’ll visit that house tomorrow. - Yes.

This is how our ancestral house will look like once it’s transferred here.

Mr. Silayan’s Casa Manila is great at acquiring such houses and…

Hey, let them eat already.

Oh yes, I’m sorry.

I got excited about this.

Let me do it.

How’s your day?

You look somewhat tense.

Let me do it, let me do it.

It’s just that…

there was an accident on the site.

But the foreman’s attending to it.

Is it bad?

- A bit... - It’s bad.

About the documents for tomorrow, they’re ready, right?

- That’s all we’re required to bring? - At 8AM,

- You have to meet Mr. Silayan. - Just a moment.

Bring all the papers that you need,

- secure it. - It's ready.

Papers, and all the documents...

Hopefully everything goes well.

Yes sir?

Here's a letter for Raffy Legaspi.

Can I receive it?

No, I need him to sign.

Sir Raffy?

Sir Raffy, you need to receive this letter.

Excuse me.

Sir, please sign here.

Hon, you haven’t eaten yet.

Maybe later.

Come and eat first.

I will have that later.

I'll eat this for you instead, maybe he's on a diet.

I will eat it then.

He’s just busy.

I hope it’s a boy.

As long as it's healthy.

That’s what I’m praying for.

I'm sure he'll look like me.

No, he'll take after me.

- I can feel it. - Look how small it is!

Hon, maybe you should stop work for a while.

Just rest.

I don't get stressed from my work now.

I can send my designs through email,

do videocalls with my clients.

- I think it’s stressing you out. - I enjoy what I'm doing.

Hon?

Hey?

What’s the matter?

Hon?

Do you see that baby?

What's the matter?

I think we’re close.

Hello.

Ising.

Good morning.

Can we park here?

Yes.

Alright.

Hello.

Do you have the key?

- Thank you. - Let's go.

She doesn’t talk much.

Yeah.

It’s big.

It’s beautiful, and quiet.

Do you have the key?

Is everything okay?

Do you need help?

That might take long.

It won’t open.

It hasn’t been opened for many years.

I can’t remember which key...

Please wait.

Jane, what if...

- Let's try to break it. - That's alright.

- It doesn't work. - Ising, we can just break the padlock.

- I'll get it from the car. - Alright.

That’s okay, let’s just break it.

It’s a little quiet here...

Here it is, Ising. I’ll take care of that.

Let’s just try opening it.

Be careful.

Is it open?

It’s off.

Okay, that's good.

Let's go inside.

Okay, let me open this.

It’s still locked.

- Do you have the other key? - I’m sure it’s here.

Give me a second.

The electricity usually fluctuates here. We often have brownouts.

It looks like you haven’t entered this house in a long time.

The rooms are over here.

No one’s really lived here for years.

Is this our room, Ising?

Is it okay, Hon?

Hon, can we stay somewhere else?

You won’t find another place to stay.

- No hotels nearby? - None.

Let’s talk about it later.

Well, okay, sure. This will take hours. It hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.

Okay, well, we could start now.

I’ll leave you two for a while.

- I’ll get bedsheets, then cook dinner. - Alright. Thank you.

- Hon, look at this. - Yes?

It’s beautiful!

Do you think this still works?

I don’t think so…

Let's just try, maybe it will.

I'll try.

- You might damage that. - I won't.

I hope it’s still working.

Is that enough?

- Let's try again. - Sure.

It’s working.

Nice!

- Ma’am Jane, your pillows and blankets... - Thank you.

- You'll make the bed? - Yes, I will.

Thank you, Ising.

Hon, let’s put the bedsheet.

You take the other end.

Sorry.

- One... - Wait.

One, two, three…

There.

That looks delicious!

This is too much.

Ising.

Join us for dinner.

I’ll eat later.

Come on, Ising, have a seat.

- Aren’t you hungry? - I’m fine, go ahead.

- Just stay for a while. - Please sit with us.

- Here. - Thank you.

You’ll eat later?

Yes.

But get some if you like.

Ising...

you’ve been working for Grandpa for a very long time.

Would you like to stay with us in Manila?

This house has been sold.

Tomorrow, people will come to inspect it.

Only if you want to.

You can come with us if you’ve nowhere to go.

I think I’ll be alright, don’t worry.

I have relatives here that I can live with.

Alright, but think it over. It’s your decision.

I’m sure Grandpa will be happy to have you with us in Manila.

Just consider it, Ising.

Okay. I’ll think about it.

Okay.

Please eat with us.

No, you two continue, I’ll eat later.

- Alright. - We'll eat.

- Just call me if you need anything else. - We will.

Thank you. Please think about it, okay?

Thank you.

Hon, do you think she’ll come with us?

I hope so. She doesn’t have a place to stay here.

- You think so? - She’s just saying that.

For sure Grandpa will be happy if he sees her again.

Let’s wait for her decision, maybe she’s too shy to say yes.

Protect the house.

Everything should remain a secret, Ising...

Hon.

Let’s sleep.

Good night.

What's that?

Maybe Ising turned it on?

Did you see anybody there?

Hon?

Hon?

Let’s just sleep.

Ising?

Ising?

Ising?

Ising?

Ising?

Ising?

Move it!

Shut up!

Stop screaming!

Quiet!

Shut up, you bitch!

Stop screaming!

Don't shout!

Shut up bitch!

Don't move! Shut up!

Hey, Jane!

Jane!

What happened to you?

Jane?

My stomach hurts.

Gargle first, Jane.

Slowly. Come on.

Maybe it’s from food last night.

Slowly.

Alright. Come on.

Slowly.

What happened?

Slowly, Jane.

Lie down for a bit.

- Tell me, what happened? - I’m okay.

Lie on the bed, please.

Try to relax. Maybe it’s the food last night.

Okay, wait here. I'll get water.

Ising!

- Jamaica. - Yes sir?

Give this to Engineer Cortez.

So he can sign it and submit this afternoon.

Okay, sir.

Aileen? Mayor needs the gas vouchers.

Okay sir.

Can we release that today?

- Yes sir. - She’s been asking me about it.

Thanks.

- Good morning, Mayor. - Hello, Roger.

I need you to sign these.

It's quite a lot.

- Just put it there. - Yes ma'am.

Here’s the accomplishment report.

Roger, what happened to that construction? It's slow.

Yes, Mayor.

The two tractors just arrived today.

Engineer says it will speed up the construction.

It’ll be finished in two to three months.

Make sure it will be finished in two months, Roger.

- The engineer said two to three months. - Tell the engineer.

- He’s sure? - Yes.

Here are the other papers.

Just put them there.

- I’ll go now. - Thank you, Roger.

Hello!

Who is it?

Good morning.

Who are you looking for?

Is the owner of the house there?

Oh, yes. Wait.

I’m Mr. Silayan from Mi Casa.

Please tell them.

Where's Ising?

I was looking for her too, but I couldn't find her.

Come in.

Ma'am?

Some engineers are looking for you.

Okay.

They say they’re engineers.

Good morning. I’m Mr. Silayan from Mi Casa Filipinas.

Sir, good morning.

Good morning.

This is my husband, Raffy.

- Good morning, sir. - Nice to meet you, Mr. Silayan.

My engineers are with me, Engineer Novenario and Engineer Manuel.

Good morning, Engineer!

We’ll just check the structure.

Alright. We’ll show you around the house.

Come.

This is well-preserved.

Mr. Silayan, about our agreement...

please don't include the furniture when you transfer the structure.

We understand that they're not included in our deal.

It's just the structure.

Houses like this are usually easy to dismantle

because the parts are just bolted.

This house is huge, would you like to check the entire area?

- Let's start downstairs. - That would be good.

Come, Hon.

Engineer?

We really need to see the whole place.

Let's see the grounds first.

This way.

Watch your step.

Careful.

Look at this.

These must be transferred, engineer.

Engineer,

take pictures of these.

Make sure the pictures are good.

We’ll get them intact.

The walls are still in good condition.

Be careful when you dismantle it.

This is the basement.

We're done here.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Engineer will handle that.

- Come, engineer. - Let's go to the basement.

It’s here, please be careful.

Can you check the foundations?

Engineer, can you check this?

- Show him, Hon. - Okay.

I'll show him.

You might hit your head.

This is still good.

- The wood's still sturdy. - Yes.

Snake!

- Hon! - A snake!

There’s a snake here!

Let's go Engineer!

Sir, according to the DPWH, your lot is a part of the road widening project.

I told you it’s not!

We’ve sent our personnel to check and he verified it.

No, it's not even close to the site.

And this SPA you have isn’t clear…

Please wait until we finish this transaction.

We’re here to see Engineer Cortez.

Sir, we have visitors.

Thank you.

Hi, I’m Engineer Cortez.

- Good afternoon. I am Jane Legaspi. - I'm Raffy Legaspi.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

This is in regards to…?

- Our ancestral house. - Do you have the requirements?

- Your mother and I have spoken about it. - Yes, she told me.

Here’s the OR. The barangay clearance.

Tax declaration and deed of sale...

It's all there.

Your documents are complete,

but the final approval will come from Mayor.

The owner's abroad, I'm just watching over it.

Bro, isn't that Jane?

Jane who?

Your ex-girlfriend.

You sure? Why would she come here?

I’m sure that’s Jane.

Let me check myself.

There she is!

Jane!

How are you? What are you doing here?

We came to see the mayor.

This is my husband.

- I'm Raffy. - I'm Roger.

You want to see the mayor? I’ll go with you.

Why can’t you decide!

Let’s go. Come in.

Stand in line again!

Again?

You people make me crazy.

I hope you can approve it, Ma’am.

Jane, we have this new law,

and according to the...

National Historical Commission of the Philippines,

ancestral houses can't be demolished.

We need to preserve houses with historical value.

Excuse me, Mayor.

Mayor, do we have other options?

Because my grandfather has decided to have it demolished.

It’s our ancestral home,

it’s been in our family for generations,

What do you need?

I’m busy right now.

Call me later.

It’s our ancestral home.

But I guess if the law insists…

I’ll still think about it some more.

Especially since we’re talking of history here,

we must preserve it.

That’s a requirement. There’s nothing we can do, sir.

I’ve been going back and forth for nothing!

That's really the process sir.

You are all so annoying!

Where should I pay?

At that counter.

Who's here?

Why won’t you stop?

Enough! Stop that!

Calm down!

You want to fight me?

Come if you dare!

Sir, please stop.

Come here!

You won’t stop?

You won’t?

You’re in the municipal hall, have some respect!

Okay, okay!

- Fine. - Fuck you.

Get out of here!

What an asshole!

Sorry about that.

Are you okay, Jane?

How about you, sir?

Thank you.

Thank you, Roger.

Sorry.

Attorney?

I’m at the site right now.

Right now?

That’s not possible.

Do you need it now?

Alright. Thank you.

Why are you talking to a lawyer?

There's a problem in the office.

I need to fix it.

Right now?

- Yes. - You’re leaving, now?

Hon, it’s a bit urgent.

So urgent that you must go now?

Very urgent, yes.

We just arrived.

I’ll return immediately, okay?

I’ll be back.

Hon?

Yes, Mom.

We submitted the papers to the mayor’s office.

We’re just waiting for the approval.

We're only waiting for the permit from the mayor.

Yes.

The house is fine.

It's good now, it just needed some cleaning.

We already cleaned it with Ising's help.

Yes, she’s here.

Mom says hi.

She says hello.

- Thanks. - Please sit here.

Yes Mom, she’s okay, still very strong.

She helped us clean the house.

Yes.

Alright.

Okay Mom, I need to finish some work. I'll update you.

Okay, goodbye.

- Here's your coffee. - Okay.

Thanks.

Oh!

It’s still hot.

I’ll let it cool down a bit.

This is nice, right?

Yes, it is.

Ising, what year was this house built?

During the American period.

Your great-grandfather Peping had it built for your great-grandmother, Maria.

Really?

They started their family here.

Your Grandpa Renato grew up here.

Really?

Lucky it didn’t get destroyed during the Japanese period.

I should get going, I have something to do.

Okay. Thank you for the coffee.

- [SPEAKING IN JAPANESE] - Stop it!

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Enough!

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Fire!

Ising?

Ising?

Ising.

- What’s the matter? - Water, please.

Water?

- How are you feeling? - Ising, my stomach.

Here, drink this.

Where does it hurt?

My tummy...

Lie down.

Is the pain too much?

Yes.

Maybe it’s just indigestion.

Wait for me.

I’ll just get medicine.

I have something for that.

We’re done.

Ma’am, everything's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Attorney, this is the letter they sent me.

It’s a subpoena.

What should I do about that?

We must answer this as soon as possible.

Look at this, Attorneys.

They filed a malversation of public funds case against him.

Please advice me how to get out of this mess.

One of the biggest evidence they can use against you are actual documents.

Like purchase orders from your office...

That can have a big impact on your case.

If the prosecution can present those papers, you can be convicted.

Ising?

This is the Barangay Chairman.

Ising.

Barangay Chairman!

You have visitor...

Please wait.

What is it?

- Good morning. - Good morning, Ising.

Someone is looking for the owner of the house.

I’m sorry, she’s sick.

Roger.

Jane. What’s up?

Can I talk to you?

- Of course. - Okay.

How are you?

Some people came over to talk about the house.

Any update from the mayor?

Has she approved it?

- You're blocking the way. - I’m sorry, sir.

- It broke down. - What?

Sorry, it's broken.

There’s a problem with the gear.

How have you been?

I’m doing good.

After we graduated, I returned here to work.

Then I applied in the municipal hall.

Then I got promoted as Mayor's assistant.

Wow, you can become the next mayor.

Oh no,

not in the near future.

We’ll see. It depends on the mayor.

Right now I want to start my own family.

But I don't have a girlfriend yet.

Roger, I need your help.

Mom already negotiated with the buyer.

You know Jane...

when Mayor says she'll think it over,

chances are she will say no.

What I can do is talk to Engineer Cortez,

so he can convince the mayor to approve your papers.

Roger, we’re willing to pay.

If we have to.

The buyer paid Mom already.

Alright.

I’ll find a way.

Thank you, Roger.

Thank you.

- Take care. - Thank you.

Hon?

I’ve been calling you.

I was in a meeting, Hon.

I’m sorry. I was busy the whole day.

How are things going there?

I’m doing something about it. I talked to Roger.

And what can Roger do for you?

What are you saying?

He’s just the Mayor’s assistant.

You could’ve asked her directly, why do you need to ask Roger?

That’s settled then.

From the mayor's tone, we already got the approval.

- Ask Jane to prepare my payment. - Alright.

- I’ll check the construction here. - I'll call Jane.

Alright, take care.

Hello! Anybody home?

Jane!

- What is it? - Hello!

What do you need?

- Ma’am, is Jane home? - Yes.

- Can I talk to her? - Why?

I need to talk to her.

What for?

I just need to tell her something important.

Ma’am, someone's looking for you.

Roger.

- Jane. - What’s the matter?

Can we talk?

Of course. What is it?

It’s personal.

Ising, we need to talk in private.

Thank you.

- Come, let's talk here. - Alright.

Have a seat.

What happened?

Jane, the engineer…

What?

Engineer Cortez was in an accident today.

What happened?

It happened at the construction site outside the municipal hall.

How? Did he die?

Yes, the steel bar went through his chest.

Look, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry about what happened to Engineer.

But what about the permit?

Is there anything else we can do?

What?

Do you have…

Honestly, Jane,

he’s the only one who can help us.

He’s the only one I know who can convince the mayor

to give you the permit.

Roger, can you find another way?

Anyone we can talk to? Can’t you go straight to the mayor?

This house has been bought.

We already spent the money.

Can you do anything?

Please, if you can help me…

I’ll do anything…

- Roger, let's stop this. - Why?

- Roger, please, stop. - Come on, Jane.

- Enough, please. - Come on, Jane.

It’s okay. Go now.

Roger, please.

- Please, stop! - Jane.

Roger, stop!

Roger!

You’re bleeding!

You need to go to the hospital.

Stand up. I'll take you to the hospital.

Can you stand up?

Let’s go.

Help! Please help us!

Hurry, let’s call a tricycle!

Tricycle!

- What happened? - Help us.

We're almost there.

What happened to her?

She’s bleeding.

The doctor’s here.

Get away from me!

Nurse, hold her down.

- Get away from me! - Nurse, hold her hand.

Get away from me!

Please calm down.

Ising?

Whose car is parked out front?

That car belongs to ma'am Jane's friend.

The guy from the municipal hall?

Yes.

It’s late and you're still cleaning?

Jane?

Jane.

Where’s Jane?

She's in the hospital.

Why is she there?

She was bleeding.

What happened?

Her friend came over...

- Then what? - She bled after they had a fight.

Jane Legaspi?

Hold on, sir.

Ward 01.

First room to your left.

- This way? - Yes, sir.

Jane?

Jane, what happened to you?

What the hell happened to you?

Let’s go home. I want to get out of this place.

Jane, what happened to you?

Let’s get away from here. I want to go home.

No, you can’t.

- Your tummy is suddenly so big! - I want to go now.

- Let's go home! - Wait! Please!

- Tell me what happened! - I want to go home.

Calm down.

Doc!

I want to go now!

You can’t go home yet. You must stay here.

I said I want to go home!

Doc, what’s happening to her?

Her condition is stable as of now, but we need to observe her overnight.

How can you say she’s stable?

She lost a lot of blood, she can't be discharged yet.

- I want to go now! - No.

When I left yesterday, her stomach wasn't that big.

I said I want to go now!

Jane.

- I don’t want this baby anymore! - Jane, don't say that!

I don’t want this baby!

- I want to go home! - Okay! Alright!

Doc, sorry.

If you refuse to discharge me, I’ll go by myself.

I want to go home! Let me go!

- Doc, okay. - I don’t want this baby anymore!

Jane, please, calm down.

- Please calm down. - I don’t want to stay here.

Can you stand?

Slowly.

Is there anything you’re not telling me?

How about you?

Is there something you want to tell me?

Why is that car still here?

Jane!

Jane!

Where’s Roger?

Jane, answer me.

Where’s Roger?

Jane!

Where’s Roger?

Ising?

Jane, talk to me!

- Ising? - Jane, answer me!

Ising?

Answer me!

Jane!

Why won’t you talk to me?

Jane!

What?

Answer me Jane.

What happened between you and Roger?

Nothing happened between us!

Ising killed Roger!

I killed him, because I caught you kissing.

So something did happen?

Nothing-

You're cheating on me!

- Nothing happened, huh? - Nothing!

Now what? Come on! Hurt me!

- Come on! - You’re the one who’s keeping secrets!

You cheated on me!

Nothing happened? Are you sure?

- Get off me! - Fuck you!

Nothing happened between us!

Get your hands off me!

Now what, huh?

That's enough!
