Mabuhay!

Mabuhay!

It's how we greet one another, here in the Philippines.

Mabuhay!

In English: "Long live!"

Why don't you guys give it a try?

It's easy.

Ma—

Bu—

Hay.

Mabuhay!

Ma-bu-hay.

Good!

It's hot, isn't it?

When it's hot in the Philippines, we say:

"Shit, it's hot!"

Hey, line up! Line up properly!

One water container per family!

Hey, line up!

What are you doing?

Only one water container per family!

And when the heat is oppressive,

we say:

"God help us!"

What song is that?

Apologies, Mr. Salud.

Apologies?

Apologies for the delay.

It's for them.

They're suffering in this heat.

Poor things.

Don't worry, Sir.

If one of them dies, it will be replaced.

Don't forget to hydrate, Sir.

Did you hear what happened to Mr. Molina?

Clara!

Have some water!

You really have to keep yourself hydrated out here.

A golfer died last week from heatstroke.

Are the golf courses in the States as nice as this one, Clara?

I've only ever been to one.

And it was a public course.

Ah, of course.

Well, there are very few

public courses here.

Is the mango sweet?

- It is. - Sweet?

(In Mandarin) Hello!

(In Mandarin) How are you?

(In Mandarin) Very well. Thank you!

Where did you come from?

Nihao, Ma'am.

Janine.

The only people allowed on the course are golfers and caddies.

Are you a golfer?

No, Ma'am.

Are you a caddie?

No, Ma'am.

So what are you?

I don't have this problem with any of the other tee-girls.

It's easy, right?

I bet you could do it with your eyes closed.

This heat!

Really, this heat!

God really has no mercy.

This heat makes it hard to even have a conversation, Sir.

You're new here, aren't you?

You're a natural.

Fucking hell!

Charlie!

Mica.

What?

How's it going?

Busy.

I was hoping for your advice, if you don't mind.

What?

The golfer I'm teeing up keeps mis-hitting his balls.

I'm scared that one of his balls might hit me.

What should I do?

The ricochet takes away most of the ball's force.

It doesn't hurt much at all.

Dr. Palanca, good morning!

And the golfer will feel bad and give you a huge tip.

Getting hit isn't the worst thing.

Got it. Thank you, Mica.

- This your new driver? - Yep.

Can't seem to find her sweet spot.

- May I? - Sure, go for it.

I heard you just came back from Ilocos.

Yeah, just last night.

How was it?

Every time I go home,

I always question why I ever moved to Manila in the first place.

You're new here, aren't you?

How are you finding it?

(In Ilokano) It's only my first week, Sir.

(In Ilokano) What's your name?

Isabel, Sir.

(In Ilokano) How old are you?

(In Ilokano) Seventeen, Sir.

(In Ilokano) I was the same age when I moved to Manila.

(In Ilokano) And even after all these years

(In Ilokano) it still doesn't feel like home.

(In Ilokano) If you ever need anything,

(In Ilokano) just let me know.

(In Ilokano) I mean that. Okay?

What are you talking about?

It's an Ilokano thing.

How did you do that?

You need to use your hips.

Watch.

Swing with your hips, Clara!

I told you, Uncle. I need more time in the driving range.

You're fine!

Just remember! When you swing,

throw your hips, not your arms!

There we go!

Made in the U.S.A!

No, it's okay.

Ma'am Clara,

in the States,

the caddies?

Also girls?

No.

They don't usually have caddies.

Unless you're a professional.

Well done, Uncle!

So...

have you been thinking about it, Clarita?

I have been, Uncle.

I promise you, you'll be more comfortable here.

More comfortable doesn't always mean happier, Uncle.

Well, that's true.

But are you actually happy in New York?

Look.

You don't need to answer me now, okay?

Just keep thinking about it.

But...

who carries your bag,

Ma'am?

What?

If only professional golfers

have caddies in the U.S.,

then...

who carries your bag?

The amateur?

People usually just carry their own bags.

What are they doing?

Who's that, Mica?

That's Charlie.

She caddies for the president, Dr. Palanca.

They fish those balls out of the water hazards.

What do they do with the balls?

They sell them back to the golfers.

Some of those balls are worth more than what we make in a day.

Those balls aren't the only things they sell to the golfers.

I heard Dr. Palanca pays Charlie really well

to take care of his balls.

I wonder what color his balls are.

White? Brown?

That's mean!

It's a medical condition, it's called vitiligo.

My uncle has it.

So what color are your uncle's balls?

How should I know?

Why don't you find out for yourself? He's single.

But do any of you know what Dr. Palanca is actually like?

I hear he likes Chanel No. 5.

Ilocos.

I heard it's beautiful there.

I've never been.

It's a bit like here.

Like some parts of the golf course.

Maybe that's why there are so many Ilokanos around.

Maybe.

Like Dr. Palanca.

What is it?

Nothing.

I was just thinking about what they were talking about.

About Dr. Palanca's...

marbles.

You think they're like the rest

of his body?

Spotted?

We should ask her.

Wasn't she a Miss Universe?

Yeah.

Why would we ask her that?

Because that is Mrs. Palanca,

our dear president's wife.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, Dr. Palanca, for providing the entertainment.

And now, friends...

please be generous

as we pass the hat around for our dear beloved caddies,

whose families are suffering in this drought.

Please be generous.

My company,

Golf Depot,

is going to match, peso for peso, all the donations raised here today!

So please be generous. Thank you.

So,

what do you think?

I think we ordered too much food, Uncle.

This is just how we eat here. You'll get used to it.

But I was talking about my offer, Clara.

We could really use you at Golf Depot.

Seems like you're doing fine without me.

For now.

But look around you.

We need to grow a more diverse market.

You could be in charge of that.

Clarita.

This country needs a shakeup.

But the big problem is brain drain.

All our best people,

all the brightest people,

just judge and complain about things here and then move abroad.

When what this country needs is for more people to stay and...

fight for change.

That's how this country will progress.

We need more people like you to be interested in it.

It's good, huh?

Do you feel that?

She keeps her aircon running the whole day.

The hat suits you.

What were you doing underneath the mango tree?

Eating.

Eating?

A mango.

Alone?

Yeah.

You should be careful around the golf course.

Most of the golfers

are not so nice.

And Dr. Palanca?

Is he not so nice?

He's Ilokano.

What's that supposed to mean?

Sometimes they say things

just to have something to say.

Like what?

Si-kka latta ti ka-yat ko.

(In Ilokano) You're the only one I want.

It sounds so much better when you say it.

I should hope so, I'm Ilokano.

That's not what I mean.

You say it with much more tenderness than when it was first said to me.

Before history began,

there was a beautiful young woman named Ylang-Ylang.

She was sworn to chastity.

But because of her intense beauty

she attracted a lot of suitors.

And one day

one suitor was so taken by her beauty that he gave in to his desires,

but...

when he tried to touch Ylang-Ylang,

the young woman instantly disappeared.

She transformed into a flower.

There used to be so many of those flowers back home, Auntie.

But now they are all gone.

People overharvest them

because of the flower's scent.

It's used for expensive perfumes abroad.

Chanel No. 5

You always take

the sweetest rose,

and crush it.

until the petals fall.

And crush it.

Do you know where the veranda is?

It's right over there.

Would you like to take this golf club to Dr. Palanca?

He's having lunch there now.

I'd do it myself but he's with his wife.

And that woman is a piece of work.

I really should go back to the driving range.

It will still be there when you get back.

If you're worried about getting fired,

don't worry.

With all these Chinese tourists,

they need all the tee-girls they have.

(In Mandarin) I-18

Ma'am, are you Mrs. Palanca?

I really hate how once a woman is married in this country,

your entire identity is centered around your husband.

But, Ma'am, your beauty is famous all over the world.

How may I help you, dear?

I was asked to return this club

that Dr. Palanca left on the golf course.

Is he with you, Ma'am?

No, he isn't.

He's usually at the pool at this time.

I can take you.

Rodel!

You've hardly touched your food.

I'm full already, Ma'am.

Such a small appetite.

For a very big boy.

Hello, Miss.

You're a sporty girl.

Can you tell me where the swimming pool is, please?

Sure.

I'll show you where it is.

If you show me what your bathing suit looks like.

Can you read Chinese?

No.

Can you?

No.

Do you know where the swimming pool is?

Over there.

Hold on, I'm looking for a little girl.

She was wearing a red dress and had dragonfly hairclips.

Have you seen her around?

I saw a girl on the golf course.

But that was much earlier in the morning.

On the golf course? Where exactly?

I can't remember.

It was only for a moment, then she disappeared.

Please.

Try to remember.

People have been fired for much less than that.

Much less than what?

Stealing.

I just wanted a taste.

Taste it, then.

Don't be shy.

Is Dr. Palanca here?

Do you see him here?

Do you know where I can find him?

Why would someone like you need to see the president?

I need to return something to him.

Listen.

Dr. Palanca...

has a knack of leaving things around.

And more often than not he doesn't actually want them back.

Ma'am,

Sir Renato says that...

you're going to move here.

Is that true?

Do you think I should?

No, Ma'am.

Why not?

Because you'll brown.

Like the pine tree.

Have they been looking for me?

I think they have bigger concerns right now.

The Chinese tourists refuse to use tee-girls.

Well, aren't you going to ask me where I've been?

Did you see the mango I left in your locker?

That was from you?

Who did you think it was from?

Where to, Miss?

Hole number 18, please.

I'm serious, let's go!

I can't drive.

Can you?

No.

Whose is this?

Dr. Palanca's.

Why are you so interested in him?

I don't know.

I don't know why exactly.

But I just need to speak to him.

You aren't allowed on the golf course.

I'm sorry.

I'm looking for a little girl.

She’s wearing a red dress and has dragonfly hairclips.

What is it?

The balls are so small.

And the course is so big.

Ina, it's useless.

I'll just use a new ball and take the penalty.

Your uncle doesn't play with penalties.

I don't want to play like that.

It's okay, Ma'am.

Everyone here plays like this.

Are you guys okay?

Is this the ballroom?

No, Sir. This is hole number 9.

Oh.

Do you know where the ballroom is?

Yes.

It's past the putting green,

through the playground,

then up the stairs,

and then it's to the right after the stairs.

It's past the putting green,

through the playground,

then up the stairs,

and then it's to the right?

Yes, Sir.

Thank you, Miss.

Wait.

It's the other way.

What is it?

Is there something wrong?

Let's go.

The ballroom is close.

Aim a putter's length to the right of the hole.

It's not what it seems, Ma'am.

This green is tricky.

It seems pretty straightforward to me.

I should aim for the left.

It looks that way, Ma'am, but...

your uncle is right.

It's to the right.

It's okay, Clarita.

You're still learning.

It suits you.

What?

Your t-shirt. The color really suits you.

Oh, this? A present from my wife.

You don't need to read too much into the color.

I heard you just got back from Ilocos.

I've never been but I hear it's beautiful.

Some places there look just like the golf course.

How was your trip?

It was fine. It was just a short trip.

I wanted to take my children so they could see our land

for the last time,

before we start developing it.

So that they don't forget who they are

and where they come from.

Imagine,

we almost lost the land

to agrarian reform 12 years ago.

It's sad.

You take good care of your farmers but they always want more.

- Are you heading home? - No, I'm heading to my office now.

You know...

you should really get your prostate checked.

You've been standing there with your dick out for a while.

Are you planning on leaving some for us?

These days you can't even crack a joke anymore!

Take another one.

No one will find out, Clarita.

My ball?

No, Ma'am.

You know he's harmless, right?

Who?

My uncle. He's harmless.

Did you find it, Ma'am?

Don't worry, Clarita.

No one will know.

Beth, grab her legs.

Ina, clean the ball.

There, let's put her in the water hazard.

(In Ilokano) Do you remember this song?

(In Ilokano) It's from Ilocos, like us.

(In Ilokano) Did your mother sing it to you too?

(In Ilokano) My mother sang it to me every night.

(In Ilokano) But now I can't even remember the lyrics.

(In Ilokano) How long has it been since you left Ilocos?

(In Ilokano) I've only just left, but already I've forgotten so much about home.

(In Ilokano) It's like...

(In Ilokano) my memory is a bush or a patch of grass

(In Ilokano) that has been trimmed really precisely,

(In Ilokano) and all that has fallen

(In Ilokano) has been blown away by the wind.

(In Ilokano) But now I clearly remember...

(In Ilokano) I clearly remember the rain.

(In Ilokano) It was raining the day the trucks came.

(In Ilokano) The trucks with your family's name on them.

(In Ilokano) It was raining the day your trucks came.

(In Ilokano) The trucks that came

(In Ilokano) and took us away from our homes.

(In Ilokano) Do you remember that day?

Stupid!

How are you going to fish that out?

Help!

Help!

(In Ilokano) Dear Biday, please open

(In Ilokano) Open your window

(In Ilokano) So you can see the one who adores you

(In Ilokano) I will die if you don't care

(In Ilokano) Who are you who keeps passing by?

(In Ilokano) By my garden where I play

(In Ilokano) You know I'm a lady

(In Ilokano) And my flowers have not bloomed

(In Ilokano) Listen, my dear, so I can tell you

(In Ilokano) Just go south

(In Ilokano) Pick a mango

(In Ilokano) Or some lanzones or whatever you find

(In Ilokano) If it's low, don't grab it

(In Ilokano) If it's high, don't reach for it

(In Ilokano) If it fell, don't pick it up

(In Ilokano) Just pass it by...
