A new administration, a new hope.

After just a few days of nonstop nationwide protests

the government of Joseph "Erap" Estrada has fallen

thanks to the efforts of unified elements in our society.

This happened without violence.

It proves that the events of Edsa 1986 were not an accident.

because the phenomenon was repeated

Filipinos are hoping that with the new

President, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo the faith of foreign investors

in the Philippines will be restored

and our economy will re-awaken.

The new President is a woman.

She replaced a macho president.

This is proof that we women are the stronger sex, Johnny.

Don't deny it!

Ha ha! I disagree, partner.

What happened was just a stroke of luck.

Luck? It's happened twice in recent history, starting in 1986

when Cory Aquino defeated the macho Ferdinand Marcos.

We women are truly the saviors of society.

If that's true, then why do countless women complain about

their status in Philippine society?

It's because only few women are successful compared to men

Carmen, let's end this debate for now.

Stop... turn off the radio.

What's with you? Our President has been changed

but you're just the same old you.

It's your fault, you drive me crazy.

Jerk!

Stop it. It's late, let's go.

Leave? But it's raining. If that's what you want,

here's your make-up bag.

There, it stopped.

Enough. I'm leaving. Bye.

Come back... please?

We're here. Stop the car.

Straight ahead! Over there!

Listen everyone! Stay where you are!

What's the problem, sir?

Terrorists are hiding out here.

Is this connected to Edsa 2, sir?

But I haven't done anything wrong!

Boss, this kid's more than a taxi driver.

Sir, that's not mine. Maybe some passengers left it- some men.

How many? -About 5 Sir.

Wait. This is a toy, but it looks real. Maybe it was used in a hold-up?

Do you remember what they looked like?

No, sir.

That's the group we're looking for.

Shit, the reward for their capture is 200,000

We'll share it with you if you help us.

I think I'd recognize the one who sat beside me, sir.

Nikka, what happened?

Ma! Ma!

-Ma! Ma! -Vanessa, what happened?

Help! Neighbors, please help my mother!

Let's bring her to the hospital!

-Let's bring her to the hospital. -Mama!

-Please help my mom! -Mama!

You go first..

Ma!

What happened?

Please look after Nikka.

I will, don't worry. Go! Take care!

Mom!

-Mom! -Move it!

-Get out of our way! -Mom!

Good morning, Mr. Delgado. Vanessa is over there.

Good morning, too.

Over here.

Our condolences, Vanessa.

Regarding your sister, your mom consulted us in the

Department of Social Welfare.

I can take care of Nikka.

If I may, my school for special children has a tie-up with

the DSWD for the kids in this area.

I can't leave my sister

Vanessa, listen to Mr. Delgado.

It won't come to that. But we must discuss the girl's education.

Hey, Uno!

I'll go and look after the visitors.

Vanessa.

I got the space at the cemetery.

I got a niche already.

It'll cost fifty pesos a month but I'll take care of it.

Thanks a lot, Uno.

Don't keep thanking me. You'll wear yourself out.

By the way, here's the money.

Yesterday's earnings from the gambling.

Don't spend it.

Uno, it's been 6 days.

Mama can be buried tomorrow. We're done waiting.

The following day, then. So we can earn more from the gambling.

-How are things? -Who's getting lucky?

This guy still hasn't paid.

-That's right. -I can't pay just yet.

Fucker! Don't you have any respect for the dead?

-Vanessa! Nikka is dancing on the boat -She's been there since a while ago.

She's showing off her panties!

Yes, she's in the boat.

Step aside.

-Dance, Nikka, dance! -Nikka get down there!

Dance, Nikka, dance!

Get down!

Nikka, come with me.

-We'll go down, okay? -Let's go down.

Celebrating the triumph of Edsa 2 are some heroes of Edsa l.

with the leaders of civic society and an unusually large number

from the youth sector and religious groups.

Up!

Who of them rode your cab that night?

...what we call the second peaceful ousting...

Of one leader of a country...

In all honesty, what happened is another miracle

This past few days....

Filipinos will be proud of what happened this past few days in EDSA.

Only Filipinos can do a peaceful...

Sir...

I only recognize one, sir.

Which is it?

Him.

Him, sir.

This one? -Yes, him.

Fuck, that's a lie!

It's not true! He's lying, sir! Fuck!

I never rode his taxi!

Fuck you! You're lying!

Pray that I never see you again! Fuck you!

Damn you! I'm warning you!

-Shut up! -I'm innocent, believe me.

I said shut up!

Let's pray that Edsa 2 realizes the unfulfilled promises of Edsa 1

Mama...

Mama...

Mama..

Vanessa, promise me you'll look after Nikka

Ma!

Ma!

Ma!

Mama...

Mama...

Mama...

Mama..

Nikka, give me that!

That comb was Mama's, give it to me.

-No! -Come here.

Mama gave it to me.

Sit

You do know that mama isn't coming back.

Of course I know.

Starting today, I'll be the one to comb your hair.

I'll take care of you.

Do you love your sister?

Yes I do.

I love you too.

That's almost new.

How much for the ignition coil?.

In shops the original part costs 800 pesos.

I'll give it to you for 600.

Just replace it with a piece that looks new so our operator

won't suspect a thing.

A customer also wants a distributor.

Take mine too. Just replace it with one that works and isn't too old.

Give me the ignition coil for 300.

Shit man, why haggle?

It's my neck on the line if I'm caught by the boss!

350?

350? Go to hell! No, thanks!

Okay, 500... final offer!

Do you have a replacement?

Yes.

Okay, that's enough!

It's just the two of us now.

Three- you, me and Oliver.

Oliver doesn't count.

Uno?

Uno is nice to us, that's all.

Aren't you going to get married, sister?

I want to march down the aisle.

You'll allow big sister to get married?

That's enough...

You might give my husband a hard time.

That's enough... enough.

Today's Valentine's Day, The day of loving.

Three weeks after the new president was seated.

Let's forget being pro-Estrada or pro-Gloria. Let's just be

pro-Filipino. For all our listeners,

Here's a song for the Day of Hearts...

Bang bang bang bang!

Nikka, don't point that at me, it might fire!

Vanessa, Nikka has a gun!

There!

Nikka, drop it. That's dangerous! Stop it!

It's just a toy.

That's to scare the assholes. Come here.

I thought you agreed already.

That was when mama was still alive.

That's why you need a companion more than ever.

You're the one who said that the taxi was just a sideline.

I didn't hide anything from you then. How come you didn't allow it now?

I was shocked, but the situation is different now.

I'll get 1 5,000 pesos from the police.

A reward for that terrorist I identified.

Oliver, that's not it.

So what is it?

What about Nikka?

We can leave her with the DSWD.

Nikka, let's go. Put that away and go to the house.

Vanessa, wait.

I don't want my sister to be treated that way.

Come!

Wait! I wasn't serious when I suggested that.

It's Uno.

I'm sorry.

Hurry! Hurry up!

-Help my husband -Hurry up! Bring him to the hospital!

Hurry, ride! Stand aside and help me!

Where are they taking Mr. Oca?

Leslie what was that about?

Mr. Oca was so pale.

Is it true? He had a kidney removed so he could sell it?

-Yes. It's fad here. I also wanted my kidney to be removed.

Cause they say It's worth 75,000 pesos.

What will you do with the money if you'll be unhealthy like Oca?

He's just reacting to last week's raid. That's all.

Is that so?

Well then Leslie, please watch over Nikka.

Make sure she wears an undershirt when she's playing.

Vanessa, you can be sure I won't neglect her.

The line is so long at the well.

Al, how much do I owe you?

It's okay, Vanessa. Did you see what happened to Oca?

Yes, it was awful.

Nikka, I'm leaving. Be good.

Don't be naughty.

If you misbehave, Leslie will tell me about it.

Buy me a siopao?

I'll give you money.

Be good, okay?

Leslie, the money for the siopao.

No, it's okay.

Take it, please.

Goodbye!

Vanessa, off to work?

Yes.

Take care.

Are you sure this won't burn my skin?

Are you sure this won't burn my skin?

Miss?

Sorry, ma'am. You were saying?

Miss, that has no harsh ingredients. That's for dry to normal skin.

It's applied on the face once a day before sleeping.

I see. May I try it?

Surprise!

Oliver?

What are you doing here? What's this about?

Just a while.

Hurry.

Oliver, don't.

We can't!

I'll get fired!

Here's the l5,000 from the police.

From the 200,000 reward.

Let's live together, c'mon.

Oliver, you never listen.

You're worried about Nikka?

Let's take her with us. Let's move to the province...

to Bicol, my whole family's there.

Oliver, you're not ready for that kind of responsibility

What do you mean not ready?

Would a responsible man bring me here and jeopardize my job?

Anyone in there?

Just a minute! I'm trying on some clothes!

So who's responsible? Uno?

The one you keep comparing me to?

He's just a bodyguard.

Take away his boss, and he's nothing!

Your actions show that you don't respect me.

Do you respect me?

Leave.

Two of them?

They say we stink!

That we are the malnourished uneducated masses.

They live in their huge homes and spend on perfume,

and are blind to us, living in this dump!

Those snobs who live in Makati should have their noses pinched.

They should try lining up for water under the hot sun!

That's right. Only Makati residents rallied on Edsa

I went to the rally.

How much were you paid?

I wasn't paid. I volunteered and went with others from here.

You went there to gawk at celebrities!

That's not true, Felisa.

Hide and seek! Let's hide.

Beng-Beng!

I'm here!

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm hiding from Beng-Beng.

I'm sure she's having a hard time looking for you.

Want a hamburger?

Here.

It comes with a toy. Want it?

Yes.

Come.

Beng-Beng's looking for me.

Then hide here so she won't find you.

Give me this.

Hamburger?

Yes! Yes!

Give me some.

I'll give it to you, sure.

But first, pull down your shorts.

C'mon.

Don't you have a wound there?

No, I don't.

Let me see.

Ouch!

See, there's a wound.

Lie down here, so Robbie can have a look.

Ouch!

We're taking a trip, Sis?

Wherever you want to go.

When I have enough money, you'll go to school.

Do you want to go to school?

I don't have a bag, or books.

Water, please.

Sure, just wait.

Vanessa, here's your water.

Thanks, Al. Please set it down there.

Nikka, I'll buy you books and your

teacher will be smarter than Beng-Beng's!

You'll give me an allowance?

Yes, and a lunchbox with a thermos. Would you like that?

Like this? With this color?

You like pink?

Yes!

Okay, I'll buy it. Just take care of yourself.

Nikka, want a hamburger?

Hamburger?

Yes!

Hamburger, hamburger!

Nikka, stop that! Put it down,

What's come over you?

Come here.

Don't ever do that again. That's bad.

That part of your body shouldn't be seen by others.

Do you understand, Nikka?

Don't do that again.

What's up?

Hey.

Come, go to the room.

Here, hop on the jeep.

What's this?

I'll give you the other half when you get back.

Remember, this isn't a bribe.

You came voluntarily.

That's just thanks.

Later!

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go to the home of President Estrada to show our support

Hi Mama.

Mama.

It's the first day to campaign for the coming elections.

How much? 30,000 pesos? Is that all?

Hey, did you make a list of your favorite candidates?

No, sir, I didn't make a list.

I'm sure whoever is elected isn't gonna do anything to help us.

Nothing will change.

That's why it's important to vote wisely.

Wait. Where are we?

Give me your cellphone, wallet, cash and other valuables.

Hurry. I'll give you enough money to get home. Now!

Wait...

I'll give you lead!

Fucker, put that down!

You don't scare me. I'm not afraid to use this.

Go ahead! One...

Two...

Oliver Pelayo, you have a visitor.

You idiot! You tried to rob an undercover policeman?

I didn't rob him. I used a toy gun.

Everything you do is a failure because you don't think!

Nothing you do is worth shit!

And you want us to live together?

What kind of a life will we have?

I just need money for bail.

Where's the l5,000?

I spent it when you turned me down. If you accepted it...

I shouldn't have done this mess.

So now you're blaming me?

If you accepted my offer-

I just need to get out so I can-

So you can what?

Recruit flying voters.

That's illegal!

I do it whenever there are elections!

You're hopeless. I don't have money!

Then go!

You creep!

Leave!

Asshole! -Sir show her out!

Get out, you whore!

Son of a bitch, rot in jail!

Vanessa!

What's wrong, Leslie?

Please don't be mad.

It's Nikka.

Nikka?

Where is that girl?

I left for a couple of minutes then she disappeared!

Weren't we just here?

I don't blame you, Leslie.

I see Nikka, there she is!

Come, we're going home.

No! No!

Stop that, Vanessa. What's wrong with you?

We're going home.

I'm sorry Nikka. I'll never hurt you again.

I don't like you anymore!

Let's go home. Come.

I don't like you!

We're going home.

You can't stay here, come to my place.

Leslie hurry! Get our things!

Where?

The other room.

Just find them!

Vanessa, there's room at our place.

It's okay, we have plenty of room.

Nikka, come out!

Hurry, get in!

Take care, I'll be here. Take care!

Thanks Leslie!

We heard you the first time.

We're leaving!

Come in, come in.

Menchu, this is Vanessa and her sister Nikka.

Get towels so they can dry up.

Clean the room while you're at it.

I'll get you a glass of water.

Here.

Thank you.

Here. Need help with that?

Feel at home.

Thank you, Uno.

The bathroom is there.

Change your clothes, if you want. -Okay.

Nikka, stay here. I'll be in the bathroom.

I'll show you your room.

Give it to me!

It's mine!

I just want to borrow it!

Nikka, what's this?

Why?

It's not yours.

Shame on you, we're just guests here.

I want to borrow it!

Nikka, you can't! Stop it!

Why are you crying?

What does she want?

It's nothing. She gets weird when she doesn't sleep well.

The toy!

What?

Nothing.

She doesn't want to lend it.

It's mine, not yours.

Give it!

Are you complaining?

Uno, don't. She's just a child.

Come.

Uno, don't hurt her.

I'm boss here. What I say, goes!

She didn't do anything.

Remember that! Don't disobey me!

Understand? Stop crying!

Your tears don't work with me!

Nikka, I have a burger!

Hamburger!

Hey you! Mr. pro-masses!

The government has nothing to do with their destroyed home.

If you want to help, give them a place to stay!

Why are you laughing? What is it?

It's nothing.

Let's go in.

His name isn't listed.

If his name isn't there, he isn't here.

But I visited him just a few days ago. Oliver Pelayo.

If he's not on the list, he isn't here.

Thank you.

You're looking for Oliver? -Yes.

The policemen took him last night.

What does that mean?

They may have salvaged him.

Doesn't he have relatives looking for him?

Nope. Oliver is a wild card.

Go, and be back by 5 p.m. Go!

Yes, sir.

Did you know he was jailed?

Of course I knew. He's a crook.

He replaced parts of my cabs with older, cheaper ones.

If he wasn't jailed for that hold-up,

I would have turned him in for stealing.

Change the oil, double time!

You don't know where he is?

I thought you said he was in jail!

I said he was missing!

I don't know and I don't care where that goon is!

Change the oil!

Bastard!

Slow down, you might choke!

Uno, why are you here?

Stop eating.

I'll give you something that tastes better.

Uno, I'm only a spokesman for the stevedores.

You talk too much. Come with us.

I'm not the one you want.

Don't interfere.

I have nothing to do with the strike.

Uno!

I didn't tell them to rally! Uno!

Enter. Be quiet!

Mrs. Barwen, please have pity.

Our home was destroyed in a storm and my mother died recently.

And my sister-

Vanessa, I'm not the one you should talk to.

Your agency is the one that sends people here.

The department store has a contract with the agency, so you

should talk to your agency.

But ma'am, you're the one who chooses the promo girls.

My dear, everyone is looking for work.

The one who replaced you just lost her home in a fire,

and her child has brain cancer.

Ma'am...

It's hard to decide on the basis of how tragic your lives are.

I'm sorry, dear.

Go away!

Go!

Nikka, stop that!

Go, go!

Nikka, enough!

What's happening here, where's Vanessa?

She gets these moods sometimes.

Nikka, remember me? I'm Mr. Delgado.

My car is there. Want to take a ride?

No, go away.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing to my car?

Are you crazy?

I've worked here for years. I've helped many children.

We don't need wealthy people here!

Calm down, please.

Go back to Makati!

You're crazy!

You can't blame them for feeling

that nobody cares about their plight.

I blame the politicians who go there, twist the facts, and pit the

poor against the rich. It's not right.

It's depressing, sir.

Vanessa?

Good morning, Mr. Delgado.

Please forgive Nikka for throwing garbage at you.

That's okay. She's just copying what she sees around her.

Excuse me.

Nikka, it's Mr. Delgado. Apologize to him.

That's okay, Vanessa. You're not part of the group whose minds

Have been poisoned by your local politicians, right?

We don't care about them.

The best way is to guide the child properly. She shouldn't

wander unsupervised in such a place.

It was just bad luck that I just left.

That's why I asked Nora of the DSWD to come here.

In case you no longer had time for the child.

Mr. Delgado, I do have time. I can guide her.

I'm just saving up to put her in a school like this.

Vanessa, the state has the right to

take your sister away if you

can't give her the care and attention she requires.

That's unfair. All the money I earn goes to Nikka.

Never mind that nothing's left for me as long as she has enough.

I'm not an irresponsible sister.

But your sister can be given more

professional care by an institution

I told you, I can't be separated from my sister.

And I'm sure she doesn't want to be separated from me either.

What can we do, we're poor?

Nikka, go out and play.

I don't want to! I don't want to! Sis!

Where will you live? Your house hasn't been rebuilt.

I don't know. We'll see.

No one's telling you to leave. Stay. There's enough room.

But what about your wife?

Wife? Do you see anyone else here?

I hate you! I don't like you! -Nikka, be quiet!

Where are the mother and daughter?

I got rid of them.

I couldn't stand herWe're not yet married but she acted like she was my wife

What about the child?

Why should I bother, she's not my daughter anyway.

Don't worry. Stay here.

Sister! Ahhh!

Ahhh!

You're not leaving. You're staying.

Vanessa, get up.

Uno, why?

From now on, this house is yours.

This place is yours.

I'll take care of you and your sister.

You'll not worry about the day-to-day expenses.

Hey, you fuck! Stop that! Go to the town hall and get the mayor's rice.

-Don't shout... -Don't do other things!

-Sis... I'm bleeding! I'm dying! -Nikka, what happened to you?

Let's go in. Stop crying.

That's normal because you're now a lady.

That'll happen every month,

so mind how you act when there are men around.

Why?

Because.

I can't eat hamburger anymore?

Of course you can, why not?

Silly, I don't see the connection.

Take a bath and clean up.

Sis, I'm scared.

Don't be. That happens to me too.

C'mon, c'mon.

Let's wash your hands.

According to Malacanang,

rumors of a coup d'etat by the police and military are baseless.

In addition, the former President's case is not in the controls of Pres. Arroyo,

but is already in the hands of Sandiganbayan

Still, Estrada loyalists continue to flock to their fallen idol's home in Greenhills,

-Where they vow to guard... -What happened? No!

No! Erap is still the President! Erap!

The people are going for the issuance of the warrant of arrest.

Hey, give me some!

Here's the laundry. These are our supervisor's.

These belong to the boss' mistress.

Wait a minute.

There's one more basket.

These belong to the manager of our company's main office.

When will they be ready?

If it doesn't rain, they'll be done by morning. Or the day after that.

Okay. Bye.

Why is the strike pushing through?

I thought you took care of it?

As my bodyguard, it's your job to take care of such things.

I don't want to decide on small things.

This strike should have been nipped in the bud when it was being-

Get out, Sir!

Out! Out!

Your godchild.

A bomb exploded outside the offices of Pacific Shipping Lines.

The National Bureau of lnvestigation suspects terrorists groups

responsible for the bombing of the the Light Rail Transit and other public places in

Metro Manila last December.

What happened to Pacific Shipping may be politically motivated.

The Philippine National Police or PNP warns the public to be

vigilant and to report any suspicious incidents.

Mrs. Chayong, did you see my sister?

No. Maybe she's over there. Go see.

Nikka!

Dance, Nikka.

Dance, Nikka.

Hey Nikka!

Why this little kid!

Dance, Nikka. Dance, Nikka!

What are you doing there!?

Will you all stop it!

Quit amusing yourselves at my sister's expense. it's getting dark so go home!

You all don't want to go home, huh? Go home!

And you? Where did you come from?

What have you been doing?

What are you eating?

Hamburger.

Who gave that to you?

A man. He gave me a toy, too.

What man? What's his name?

I don't know.

He said he'll bring me to Greenhills.

What?

Many of us will go to guard Erap. Where's Greenhills?

It's a place for wealthy people. Don't go with them. There's trouble.

And next time, don't accept food from strangers. Clear? Let's go home!

Was he salvaged?

He looks like the guy with the stevedores.

Vanessa!

Miss Nora!

Mr. Delgado.

How are you, Vanessa?

And how's your partner treating your sister?

Uno treats her well.

But this isn"t the best environment for a girl like Nikka.

I can feel the people's anger. Like it'll explode any minute.

I agree.

I don't think so.

Not everyone is influenced by talkative politicians.

Does she still get those weird moods?

Not for a while now.

You know, I'm trying to get sponsors who will pay for her education.

Kids like her have special needs- her mental age is the same as a 5-year-old's.

Just tell us when you've decided Vanessa.

Yes, you know where to call us, right?

What's wrong Vanessa? Is there a problem? -Vanessa

Why?

It's nothing.

All right, we'll go ahead.

Take care, thank you.

Comrades, let's defend our beloved President.

Let's not allow anyone to dishonor his name.

We voted for him, he's our only hope!

Uno, come and eat.

Uno, not now. I'm very tired.

And who isn't tired? I work hard too!

Stop!

I was doing laundry all day!

Stop it! You smell like alcohol!

Are you complaining?

What do you want? Go back to your old job?

So that you can do whatever you want.

Stop! You son of a bitch!

Uno, stop! You can't force me!

No one says " No" to me, remember that!

Stop it! You beast! Let me go!

If it wasn't for me.

Maybe, you and your authistic sister would be living under a bridge.

Uno, enough!

Go on! Cry!

Cry!

More bread?

So you want a doll too?

Yes, please.

A big one? As big as you?

As big as a house!

A doll that big won't fit here.

Hey, why don't you eat first?

In a while. I need to use the bathroom.

Coffee?

Leslie, where are we going? -Hurry!

Trust me! You"ll like this. If you don't, then go back home!

Uno and Nikka might look for me.

Never mind them.

Wait, where are you taking me?

Just trust me and hurry!

Hurry!

Here, here! He's here.

Bye.

With Larry's Hamburger, you'll say "Mmmm!" too!

Hamburger!

Hamburger!

With every bite of Larry's Hamburger...

Mmmm...yummy!

In the news, Joseph Estrada and his son Jinggoy have been

brought to Camp Crame, where their supporters have gathered

in ever increasing numbers.

The Estrada's have been fingerprinted and photographed,

and a small room will be their jail for now.

Let's listen to Jun de Dios' report.

Policemen had difficulty approaching the former president's home

Due to the large number of loyalists there.

These are very different people from the kind we saw at Edsa 2.

Many of those we spoke to say they weren't paid..

They came here voluntarily.

Others say they were paid 300 to 500 pesos to come here.

Why did you smell like cigarettes when I woke up this morning?

What cigarettes?

Have you started smoking?

You know that I don't.

When l"m talking to you, look at me!

Hurry up and we're going to EDSA later.

There he is.

I'll be bringing my kids with me.

Oliver!

The policemen did that.

They were all drunk.

They ganged up on me.

They took turns stabbing me,

When they left, they thought I was already dead.

And then?

A group of good cops took me in.

They used me as an asset.

And I helped them get rid of the bad policemen

I waited for you for so long.

It took a long time to recuperate.

And you? Do you like living with Uno?

We can make 500 pesos just by showing up. We'll make a killing!

You're as greedy as ever.

Me, I'm going because my President needs my help.

Let's go!

Don't waste the water, Nikka.

Now the other side.

Ouch!

Nikka, what's wrong?

It hurts.

Where? Let me see.

You have a wound. Do you play with it?

No.

Do you scratch it?

No.

So what happened?

Al did it.

Al?

What did Al do to you?

Are you spying again?

Go away, you jobless animals!

Scolded!

What?

Chairman, we're going to Edsa.

Good. Where's the list?

Here.

Is that it?

Yes, sir.

All right. Make sure everyone is fed. Everyone!

Go now! -Yes Chairman. Won't let you down.

What was your complaint again?

Chairman...

What?

The child told me that...

She says she was brought to a place-

Then?

She was fed a hamburger.

After that...

After that...

My dear, that child is strange.

What are you saying?

With her condition, we're not sure

if she's lying or telling the truth.

That's not what you want to say.

You said she was strange.

You're saying that what happened is her fault.

We don't know if anything happened.

Do you have proof?

Chairman, she may not think like us,

but she doesn't tell lies.

Well then let's wait for witnesses.

Understood?

Wait, Vanessa, wait!

Where's Al?. I want to see Al!

Why him,? We're here.

You have no shame!

He took advantage of my sister, and I'm having him jailed!

Vanessa, let me ask you, is it so bad to give hamburgers away?

Bastards! Bring out Al! Bring him out, you animals!

Enough. Let's go home. Ignore them. Let's go, Vanessa.

The people at Edsa 2 were bribed? I don't believe it.

The pretty girl with long hair?

The one who likes hamburgers?

Yes... she's my sister.

She's your sister?

We know her. She comes here sometimes.

The inmates even talk about her.

Nikka has been here?

Nikka, yes that's her name.

Nikka who can't walk straight after eating a burger.

If you knew all along, why didn't you help her?

All we know is she like burgers.

My advice, have a doctor examine her.

So we can use the findings in a complaint against the ones

you say raped your sister.

It's the fourth day of the so-called poor people power

at the Edsa Shrine, and more people are going there.

Onstage, opposition candidates are saying that Arroyo's

Government is about to fall, due to defections of key members.

Bring back Erap! Bring back Erap!

Nikka has identified only Al.

I'm scared that Al isn't the only one.

I don't know...

It"s like all the men here are united against me.

The police are so slow, and the neighbors aren't helping..

No one will testify.

Uno, aren't you coming? Let's go!

Sis, look at all the people!

The poor say that they are ignored by the wealthy.

Aren't you going with me to Edsa?

Join us everybody!

I have to be at work early tomorrow.

But we need you there! C'mon, Uno, join us.

We need an influential guy like you. Come with us.

Is there money involved?

Of course, trust me.

Join us.

You even have a bus!

Courtesy of the Congressman.

Join us, many more will come if you go.

Okay, I'll follow.

That's a promise, right?

I promise. I'll see you.

We'll see you there, Uno. Thanks.

Everyone, ride! Hurry.

Bring back Erap!

I'll show you something, Vanessa.

Why are we here?

Don't ask questions.

I will never do it again.

Please have mercy -Boss will finish you off

Vanessa, forgive me. I didn't mean it.

I won't do it again, Uno.

Please have mercy. Why only me?

I'm not the only one who touched her.

Are you saying there are others?

No! It's the truth! Even the Captain did it!

You're implicating the Captain?

It's true!

Animal! Shameless beast!

Vanessa, enough.

I'll take care of him.

Bring him to the police.

Please don't. Uno, have pity!

Uno please have mercy. No!

Please don't. Please forgive me!

Why here?

Just climb.

Oliver, why are you here?

I heard about Nikka.

Oliver, you should go.

I've fixed everything. I'm taking you two with me.

But Oliver, we can't.

Why not? What's wrong now?

I can't explain. Just go! You can't be seen here!

I'm not going until you say you're coming with me.

All right. Let's meet again.

I'll tell you when.

Oliver, it's Uno. Leave now!

I'll go ahead.

Tomorrow is May 1, Labor Day. The masses are still trooping

Tomorrow is May 1, Labor Day. The masses are still trooping

to the Edsa Shrine to listen to the speeches of the candidates.

But our reporters and crew are being jeered at and stoned.

This is why our television coverage is limited.

Where are your things?

There wasn't time. Let's go!

Hurry, Uno may have followed us. -Huh!?

What will we do?

Sis? Sis?

What can a toy gun do?

This one's real. Get down!

Hurry!

What's happening?

We're stuck!

Uno's there.

Both of you, out!

Nikka, get out!

Hurry! Run!

Hurry, Nikka.

Here.

Sis!

Hurry!

Go!

There!

Stay here.

Get down.

Run!

Hurry up!

Let's go here.

Oliver! Now what?

No!

Have pity on him!

Fuck you, Uno!

Stand aside.

Let her go.

Stop it!

Have pity?

On a thief?

He's stealing you from me!

She's leaving you, psycho!

Tell him you're leaving him.

Tell him!

Tell him the truth, Vanessa.

Fuck you!

Tell him who you choose!

Who!?

Tell him!

I want him to hear! Who!?

I choose you! I'll go with you!

Prove it! Prove it!

Now spit on his face.

Spit!

Spit on him! -You son of bitch!

You're a son of a bitch, Uno!

No, stop it!

Uno, enough!

You animal!

What!

Look at him!

Do you want that to happen to you?

Or maybe I'll kill your sister?

You animal! You devil! Your the worst person who lived!

Rot in hell, you murderer!

Remember, no one leaves me!

You're an animal, Uno! You son of a bitch!

Drop dead!

You can't leave me!

You can only leave when I say so!

Remember that!

Burn it into your skull!

Let go of my sister!

Don't interfere!

Animal!

You're a whore!

Where did that guy touch you?

Where did that man leave a mark?

I was good to you two.

I gave you a better life.

You son of a bitch!

Your also a son of a bitch!

That Oliver's life isn't enough to pay me what you owe me!

Fuck you, murderer!

You killed Oliver!

I took care of you...

took you in...

then you made a fool of me.

Fuck!

Malacanang is now surrounded by policemen and soldiers.

On the palace grounds.

The presidential Security Group is armed and on red alert

They have been ordered to exercise

maximum tolerance on civilians.

These are the ones who marched from

the Edsa Shrine early this morning.

They're throwing stones and starting fires,

But who's leading them?

No one. I think they've been abandoned.

Their leaders, it seems, have fled.

The poor are always the victims,

forever being manipulated by the rich and powerfu

in each administration.

We'll give you 5 seconds to come out.

We have a warrant for your arrest in connection to the bombing

of Pacific Shipping Lines.

That was him?

Who would have guessed?

Let this be a warning to the Administration.

The poor are promised reforms, but they are quickly forgotten.

The result? More and more people become poor.

The demonstrators are now overturning cars and burning them!

They're not scared of the policemen!

Animal! Demon! Shameless son of a bitch!

Doing it with my sister! Pig!

Leave my sister alone

Down with corrupt systems!

Animal!

Animal!

Policemen and demonstrators have been injured

But the police continue to exercise mega maximum tolerance

on a citizenry that's gone berserk.

The politicians disappeared!

Where is Chairman? He's the one who got us into this mess!

He's probably in hiding! He's scared!

You mean he took the money and ran, the greedy pig!

You're complaining about a few aches in your body?

Let's all return to Malacanang!

We're needed there! Don't be scared!

No! We'll just be used as shields by those cowards again!

Fucking policemen!

I'm going back!

Every single administration has used us!

Why don't we ever learn?

Fuck this life!

No, fuck them! Fuck them all!

Captain, why didn't anyone help us?

I don't know! Even Congressman is hiding!

What about those who were arrested?

My nephews we're arrested by them!

Why are you angry at me?

Why are you blaming me?

Don't blame him.

Uno is dead! Vanessa killed Uno!

Where?

There!

Get out of the way!

Don't worry, Nikka, I'll be back.

Nikka, you'll stay with us while your sister's case is tried.

Nikka, listen.

Always remember how much I love you.

I love you so very much.

Mr. Delgado, please look after her.

She's in good hands, don't worry.

Sister! Sis!

I don't like you!

Sis! Sister!

Though we're poor, let's not allow them to make fools of us again!

Vanessa remains in jail while her case is tried.

Nikka is being cared for by the Dept. of Social Welfare and Development

All those arrested in Malacanang were freed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Filipinos are still waging war against dehumanizing poverty.
