- Where is this? - Oh, it's over there.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Good afternoon. I am Luisa Reyes.

I'm from the same town as Grace Cruz.

Grace, the one who just graduated from nursing?

Yes. She gave me your address.

She said I should try if there is still a vacancy.

You're lucky, the one who reserved earlier called.

They cancelled because they'll study next semester instead.

Good thing there's still a vacancy.

It's almost five o'clock.

Here's what we'll do. Go inside and wait for me in the living room.

I just need to pay this bill. It's a disconnection notice.

- Okay. Thank you. - Sorry for the inconvenience.

- There's people inside. Okay? - Okay.

Sorry for the wait,

the line was long at the payment center.

- It’s okay. - What was your name again?

I’m Luisa.

Oh, Luisa.

Why didn't you turn this on?

- You’ve been waiting for a while. - It’s okay. Thank you.

Oh. Sorry...

I thought the other boarders would arrive later.

Zander, this is Luisa,

- our new boarder. - Is that so?

Welcome to the boarding house.

You'll enjoy it here.

What I mean is, we're all nice here.

Excuse me...

Anyway,

this room here

is where Zander and his live-in partner Jhen stays.

The other one is Edrick and Jeff’s room.

It’s small, enough for two guys.

Facing their room is yours.

You’re two women sharing that room. The rent is 2,500 pesos a month.

One month advance, one month deposit. So that's five thousand.

Wait...

Here it is.

By the way, you can cook if you want.

- Yes, Grace mentioned that to me. - Okay.

What the boarders usually do is chip in

for food and gas to save money.

Okay. Thank you.

Sit there for a while.

- I’ll just get the contract. - Okay.

Mom, please don't cry.

- I'll call you all the time. - Manila is so far, Luisa.

You'll be alone there.

Who will take care of you?

What about your meals? What if you get sick?

Mom, please don't worry too much.

I can take care of myself.

Besides, the boarding house I’ll be staying at is safe.

It was recommended by Grace, the Barangay Captain's daughter, right?

She also lived there while studying in Manila.

Maybe you shouldn't go. Just study here instead.

There are also colleges here in town.

That way, you won't be far from us.

The scholarship I got is in Manila, Mom.

It would be a waste.

I’ve worked and waited so long for this opportunity.

Will I let fear defeat me, Mom?

Don't worry, I'll come home immediately during the semestral break.

I'll also call you every day.

We’ll take your word on that!

Take care there, okay?

Tag him along. I like him.

Oh my god, wait.

Sorry, girl.

Oh my, did I wake you up?

- No. It's okay. - I'm Dianne.

Are you my new roommate?

Wait, what kind of room is this, it’s so boring.

What the hell? Party lights? Crazy.

There. Perfect, right?

- Is this okay with you, hon? - Yeah, sure.

I like having colored lights to brighten up our room.

Unlike the other rooms, so dull, right?

Oh, by the way, I'm in my second year in Mass Communication. You?

First year, BS Education.

Hm. I see.

So, it’s your first time in a boarding house?

I've been here for two years.

Well, it's good here. It’s actually safe.

Uh, it’s close to school, the market, groceries, et cetera.

And there are no rude loiterers on the streets.

You'll enjoy it here.

That's good to hear.

Oh my god, wait...

Hold on.

Have you met our other boardmates?

Just Zander.

My god.

Handsome, right?

Don’t worry. You'll meet the others later during dinner.

But before that,

do you want a bit of...

info about them?

Jhen, Zander's live-in partner.

Mass Communication’s her course.

- Oh, you’re the new boarder here? - So good!

- I’m Jhen. - Luisa.

She's nice, but gets grumpy when she and Zander fight.

Maybe she’s not getting screwed enough. Kidding!

And that is Zander, Jhen's live-in partner.

Second year, Civil Engineering.

He attracts a lot of attention from girls, so Jhen gets jealous often.

- Sorry, I was on a call. - Here’s Jeff, second year Architecture.

- Quiet... - Oh, thank you.

Reserved.

But he's delicious too.

Want some more food?

And Edrick, varsity player.

- His sport? Sex. - Bro, I'm just going to grab something.

- Hey, someone texted you. - Can you hand it over to me?

He's very horny. Says he's pansexual,

be it woman or a man, he’ll go for it.

Just like me... Just kidding!

- Come on, just a little. Please. - I don’t want to.

[muffled chatter]

It’s really tasty.

Luisa, have you finished enrolling?

The cashier closed on me.

I'll go earlier tomorrow to finish this up.

- Okay. - How about you?

I finished this morning, girl.

Where are you headed then?

Out with friends. Because you know,

school starts on Monday, so it's all about fun, fun, fun

while we still can. Why don’t you join me?

- I have a lot to do. - Okay, sure.

I might not get home till midnight.

I already told Arman, okay? Bye.

Luisa?

- Get out now. - Huh?

Luisa?

We both wanted what happened.

My only request is that nobody else finds out about this,

or else, I'll report you.

Don't worry, only the two of us will know about this.

Go on. Get out.

Girl?

Girl!

Oh, sorry.

My god. Girl.

Jeff sent these for you.

Hmm!

Jeff's clearly courting you, huh?

I don't know about that.

Seriously, are you playing clueless?

Do you think I haven’t noticed,

how he’s been accompanying you to and from school for weeks?

And girl,

chocolates? And just friends?

He hasn't said anything about courting me.

That's exactly it.

Where were you born in the mountains, Aunt Luisa?

Tell me,

if he tells you he's going to court you,

would you say yes?

Jeff's nice.

Smart...

He’s a Dean’s Lister too.

And you know, he’s like...

He looks like he'd be loyal if you two dated.

Like a perfect boyfriend.

Right? Right? Am I right?

Oh, girl, I see that smile. I know that smile.

I know it. You like him too, huh?

No, I don't.

Oh please.

Your nose might grow longer you know.

Liars go to hell, you know.

Just admit it,

you like him too, right?

I knew it.

You've been giddy since earlier.

But it can't happen.

Oh girl, I get it.

It's probably because your parents wouldn't approve.

They want you to finish school first before dating. Is that it?

You don't have to tell them right away, right?

Just use him as inspiration.

Just remember, girl. Know your limits, okay?

And also...

don’t you ever, ever...

give in so easily.

If only it were that simple...

Why couldn't it be?

Whatever.

Babe, wait up.

What?

Babe, I'm going to be late.

We’ll do it quickly. Come on.

Lorraine is about to arrive to pick me up.

Just tell her to pick up Cara first.

Later, okay? For now, this.

What are you doing?

Cook it just like yesterday.

Luisa.

Let’s eat. My treat.

I have somewhere to go before heading to school.

Let me come with you.

- Miss, make it to go. - No need.

No, it’s okay.

- My class starts later anyway and... - I said, no.

No, Jeff. Don't accompany me ever again.

Hey, that's early.

I don't have classes on Fridays.

Is this okay with Arman?

He's not here, he went to Pampanga.

Come on, let's drink.

Sure thing.

- Nice. - I’ll just change.

- Make it fast. - Okay.

Oh, girl...

it’s so refreshing to take a cold shower.

My god.

Luisa, are you okay?

You enjoyed it, right?

Hey, I don't usually do that...

it’s actually my first time to do a three-way.

And with someone who isn’t my boyfriend.

That damn alcohol.

But I did enjoy it.

Good thing I don't have a boyfriend.

At least there’s no guilt in doing it. Right?

[sighs]

How about you?

Was it also your first time doing three-way?

But I was surprised by you. You're quite wild, girl.

To think you weren't even drunk.

Ah...

So that's why Jeff doesn't stand a chance with you,

because you like Edrick.

Just a heads-up, girl,

he doesn’t know how to love.

All he knows is sex. You might regret it.

You might be hoping for something that won’t happen.

I don't like him.

So it was all just sex?

Damn.

Looks like we're alike.

I've liked Edrick for a long time.

But it’s impossible, for him to be my boyfriend.

But at least now...

I’ve already tasted him, right?

Who would’ve thought he had a damn big note.

I felt like being devirginized all over again.

I gave up my virginity early, girl.

I was only 16 years old then with my first boyfriend.

Shit. Do you know what he did to me?

I caught him with another girl. That jerk.

How about you?

Hm...

When was your first?

With your first boyfriend?

- Second? - No.

Third?

Fourth?

It wasn’t my boyfriend who did it.

Not your boyfriend?

You’re crazy.

You’re even wilder than I am.

It was our neighbor.

Then, a classmate.

Then, my godfather.

Then, my teacher.

Then, my cousin’s boyfriend.

Then...

Then, I can't remember anymore.

I can’t remember because there were so many.

So many...

Sorry.

I can’t control myself, Dianne.

I can’t help it.

Sorry. Sorry.

Luisa...

I spoke with a psychiatrist...

For what?

For you to have a consultation.

I don't want to, Dianne.

Girl, you need professional help.

I already told them about what's happening to you.

Their initial finding is

you are a nymphomaniac.

Why did you tell someone else?

Luisa, it's a psychiatrist.

Even so... This condition is embarrassing.

I don't want others to know.

I don't want to be laughed at.

I don't want people to find me disgusting.

I told you that because I thought I could trust you.

You can trust me...

I won't tell anybody else.

- But you need to see a psychiatrist. - I don’t want to.

I don’t want my mom to know about this.

- They won't find out. I promise. - No.

- Come on, Luisa. - I said no, Dianne.

- So they can prescribe you the right... - I don’t want to.

Luisa!

Arman?

Yes, Luisa?

I’m in Pampanga, I’ll be back tomorrow.

Why? What’s wrong?

Oh, hey, Luisa. What’s up?

Are you looking for Jeff? There he is, asleep.

I don't know what's with him, he's been drinking for weeks.

I've asked him why but...

Babe...

You bastards!

Get over here.

- Babe... - Come here.

That’s enough...

Get over here.

You slut!

- Jhen, what’s happening? - You whore!

Jhen, that’s enough. What’s happening here?

I just caught my boyfriend in bed

with your slutty roommate!

- Luisa? - Come here!

- Enough. - Jhen!

You bitch!

You know Zander is my boyfriend, but you still went after him!

You act all innocent and then...

- Jhen, that’s enough. - You're a whore!

Did you enjoy my boyfriend? Huh?

Why not Jeff? Or Edrick?

They don't have girlfriends.

Or Arman?

Answer me!

- Jhen, stop. - Answer me!

Don't tell me you're in love with my boyfriend,

or I might kill you!

Argh!

You’re in love with my boyfriend?

You’re in love with him? Answer me!

Answer me!

- Do you love him? Do you? - Jhen, stop it!

I don’t love him!

I don't love them!

I don't love Edrick and I don’t love Arman!

Are you saying...

you've been with all of them? Tell me!

What? You’ve been with all of them?

So you're not just a slut!

You’re a pervert! A pervert!

Pervert!

- Arman! - Move out of the way!

- Get out of the way. - [screaming]

[groaning] Let go of...

- Enough! - That's enough, Jhen...

- Why me, Zander? - I’m sorry.

- Zander, why me? - I’m sorry. I’m sorry...

Babe. Babe...

Babe, let’s talk about this.

- It only happened once... - Shut up!

It won’t happen again. You know that I love you so much.

Please don’t leave me.

I’ll do everything... Babe...

- Babe... - So you're still alive.

I'll break up with Zander...

So? Are you happy now?

You can have all these men for yourself.

Including Zander, you can have him if you want.

You’re happy with that, right?

Because you’re a freak!

Jhen, enough. Luisa is pregnant.

[scoffs]

Great. My question to you is,

how does it feel to be pregnant

and not know who the father of your child is?

That's your karma!

You damn freak!

Get out of my way.

Babe...

Jhen...

Are you okay?

Mom...

I’m sorry, Mom.

I’m sorry.

Nymphomania is a psychological disorder

where a woman

has an excessive need and obsession

with sex that are difficult to control.

But there is a cure for this illness.

You have to undergo psychotherapy.

I’ll also prescribe some medications for you.

But this isn't easy to treat.

It requires perseverance, patience,

and faith in God

to completely overcome

this psychological disorder.

It can also be helpful

to have family and friends to support you.

I’ll be here for you.

My child,

I know you are the result of my mistakes.

Forgive me, my child.

I was weak...

I promise,

I will make sure that my mistakes will not happen again.

And I will do everything to make our lives right,

your life, my child.
