Lasting Moments (2025) Movie Script
Good morning.
Morning, love.
What are you staring at?
Only the face of my beautiful fiance.
So I don't forget.
Come on. I'll give you a bath.
- Hm?
- Come on.
Give me a bath?
Wait... Oh, please.
No, no.
I can walk
You're so weird.
Love.
Aww, love. You're so sweet.
- I love you, too.
- Love you.
- Have some breakfast.
- Oh. I can't, love.
I need to go.
I have a presentation today, remember?
I can't be late. I'll just book a cab.
No, it's fine. I'll take you.
- Huh?
- Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Alright, let's go.
Thanks, love. Sorry. I didn't get to eat
So, what we can do is,
we can book vloggers who are moms.
And these vloggers
will produce our main content
about cooking for their kids. Like
Anna Sy.
UNLI COOKING
Anna Sy has two million subscribers
on her YT account alone.
And she's not even an actress.
She's a working mom
who just so happens
to love vlogging with her kids.
Which makes her more credible
and more authentic.
Good idea. You know how the consumers
would think if it was an artist.
What are the platforms involved again?
Okay, we can do FB and YT,
which are the top
two social media platforms.
We can do IG reels and IGTV,
and on top of that
The clients were extremely pleased
with your marketing presentation.
And because of you,
the business was awarded to us.
- Oh, wow! Really?
- Mm-hmm!
Thanks, sir. Congratulations to us.
You know, Pia,
I'm quite impressed with you.
Because of that,
I'm thinking of assigning
our biggest client to you.
JTK Apparel.
- JTK Apparel?
- Mm-hmm!
Sir, are you serious?
Yes! I'm serious.
Wow!
Sir, thank you! Thank you!
I can't believe it...
Sorry, I'm being too loud.
I just got excited. Thank you.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Take your lunch break.
Okay, sir. Thank you.
- Congratulations.
- Sir, thank you again!
Dr. Jose Rizal had many siblings.
The eldest was Saturnina Rizal.
Paciano Mercado Rizal.
Narcisa Rizal, or simply, Sisa.
Olympia Rizal. Lucia Rizal Herbosa.
Maria Rizal Cruz.
Concepcion Rizal.
Josefa Rizal. Trinidad Rizal.
And the youngest
among them was Soledad Rizal.
Sir Aki,
that's a lot of names to memorize.
You must have so much patience
to become a history teacher.
It can be a pleasure
to look back on the past.
And as George Santayana once said,
"Those who cannot remember
the past are condemned to repeat it."
And because of your comment Gio, pop quiz.
- What?
- Sir!
Love?
- Love!
- Yeah?
Love! I'm hungry. Let's eat.
Cook something.
Yeah, I will.
I'm still fixing this
What do you call this? Uh
- The
- What?
For recording. For
- It's a camera!
- For taking videos.
- Camera.
- Camcorder!
- That's what I said. Camera.
- You old man.
Sorry.
I thought it wasn't working anymore.
Why don't you buy an SLR?
Look around.
You have a bunch of old stuff
- just sitting there collecting dust.
- Love.
It's good to look back on the past.
Here we go again.
Because the past
lets us appreciate the present
and look towards the future.
Is my hair okay?
- Yes, it's okay.
- The baby.
You look so handsome there, love.
You look beautiful as always.
I'm baby girl princess.
What about you?
- Baby boy prince.
- Wow! Baby boy.
- Tinola chicken mami!
- Tinola chicken mami!
Mwaah!
- Feed me with the spoon, love.
- Alright, I will.
That's a mouthful!
Love.
The old,
the bygone times
The past tells us where we began.
So, love,
if you're feeling bored,
if you're feeling tired,
if you're starting to forget,
look back on our memories.
Remember
Love, you'll remember
how much you mean to me.
Wow! Jose Rizal, is that you?
Such a poet.
It's a bit much. Cut it out.
My lady.
You are my beloved.
Hey, love.
It's your proposal.
Yes.
Oh.
My beloved.
My lady.
The first time I laid eyes on you,
I knew you were the one.
You are the one.
For as long as I live, I will serve you,
love you.
And no matter what,
I will never forget you.
I love you, Pia.
I love you.
I love you.
I'm so in love with you.
Oh, stop it.
Sophia Suarez, will you marry me?
- Of course, I'll marry you. Duh.
- Yes.
- Yes!
- Yes! A thousand times yes!
Yes! Okay, put the ring on my finger.
Thank you.
Yeah!
I miss that song.
- "How Did You Know?".
- Really?
Play it for me.
- Sure.
- Now, please?
- Now?
- Right now.
- Okay.
- Pretend you're proposing to me again.
- Sure thing.
- Come on. Hurry.
Okay, let's go. Then cook dinner?
Alright I'll cook dinner.
Come on.
- What are these?
- They're pictures of all our dreams.
We'll hang them on our dream wall.
It's called "manifestation".
Is that even real?
Of course!
When we see our goals
and dreams laid out in front of us,
we'll be more focused
on achieving them, right?
We'd know where we're headed.
That's our dream house, there.
Isn't that too big, love?
Won't we get lost in there?
We might as well dream big, right?
And we won't get lost in there.
We'll be holding hands.
Where should we put the piano?
That's our house.
It's where we'll start a family.
They'll grow up there.
We'll grow old there.
With Mama and Jay.
Mm-hmm!
Welcome, sir.
This is the house model.
It feels like this house
has good vibes, doesn't it?
Don't you agree? Do we need to Do we
still need to hire a feng shui expert?
Can we afford this?
We can. We have to.
- Okay.
- Alright.
We'll get married here.
That's where Popoy and Basha got married.
- Seriously?
- Didn't you watch the movie?
Sorry.
It's because you don't help me
with the planning.
Love, are you done yet?
Wait. I'm almost done.
Let's practice.
Father.
I take thee,
Sophia Suarez,
to be my lawfully-wedded wife,
even if she spends too much.
Love, don't ruin the moment.
Come on. Keep going.
So, there you have it, Father.
From this day forward,
for richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
according to God's holy ordinance.
We've had several bookings
for next year, all weddings.
Oh? I see.
But we can reserve it, right?
Yes, we just need a reservation fee.
Oh, wow. That was a bad twist.
Hey, love.
- Sorry for the PDA.
- Sorry. It's fine.
- It's okay. Enjoy yourselves.
- We're just excited.
What will we do here?
Well, you know
We'll make a baby.
- Babies?
- Yeah!
Babies
Plural.
Plural.
This will be our room.
- Beautiful.
- This is where we'll make a baby.
What?

It's so soft.
Why?
Let's make a baby.
Later, we'll make one.

Love! You're tickling me
Ma! We have a surprise for you!
Here you go!
Dear, what is this?
You're spending all your money.
There's more.
I'm buying you an air conditioner.
An air conditioner? Oh, please,
there are too many gaps in the walls.
- Mom. I want to do it for you.
- What's this?
Thank you so much.
These are all for you.
- Thank you, sis.
- Don't break it.
Hey, guys, didn't see you there.
Hello. Welcome to our vlog. Hey. Hey.
Oh, hang on. Love.
Here. Is this okay?
Singapore.
I'll record you.
Pretend you're arranging the frames.
This is where we'll have our honeymoon.
We'll book a room right over here.
Welcome to our future.
Promise me, okay,
that we'll fulfill all our dreams.
Aunt Lorna, I'm sorry.
This is all I can give you.
Oh no, I should be saying sorry.
It's embarrassing.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
There's no need.
This is me helping you.
Thank you, Aki.
We're family. We should
be looking out for each other.
We're just low on funds right now.
But I will pay you back, I promise.
- Pia!
- Hi, Rek!
- How are you?
- Hi, Auntie. How are you?
- How are you? Oh my, look at you.
- Long time no see!

When is your wedding again?
It's next year, Auntie.
- Wow!
- You and Rekrek better be there.
- Hey! Aki
- Awesome.
You used to be so little
- I'm the same old Aki.
- Still little.
My naughtiest nephew,
getting married.
If I don't see you two at the wedding,
I'll be so upset with you.
- Oh!
- Hey, no.
- Watch out.
- Come on.
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon.
You were absent yesterday. We missed you.
Did we have class yesterday?
Yes, sir.
Our schedule
is Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays.
How was the presentation?
It went well. Sir Carlo loved it.
So did the client.
Wow.
My wife is amazing.
As for me
Did you know
I've been missing a lot of classes?
Maybe because I'm so busy
with the wedding plans
and with the house?
Love, I already told you
not to worry about that.
I'll take care of the wedding planning.
Oh, love.
- Mm?
- I just remembered.
What should we do on my birthday?
You birthday?
That's in two months. Isn't it
too early to be thinking about it?
What's the matter?
You're such a buzzkill.
Let's have dinner with my mom and brother.
Dinner. Okay.
Dinner and then afterwards, you know
Hey. Love, it's not my birthday yet!
Hey, I'm still working.
Love! Love, my laptop.
Stop it.
Later! I'm still working.
Just hug me like this.
- Huh? Love.
- Mm?
Love!
Love! Love.
The designer replied.
Remember, Camille's contact?
They gave us a discount!
- Yay!

Yes!
Gosh, love.
It was a hectic day at the office.
Oh yeah?

See you, Ma. I have to do some chores.
Okay, dear. Love you. Bye!
Love you, Ma. Buh-bye.

Let's go. We're running late.
Why aren't you dressed?
Love, you're so funny.
Why are you in uniform?
Why else? For work.
Love.
It's Sunday.
Like I said, it's Sunday.
Mmm.
I'm on Monday time.
Hey, love.
Mm?
Happy birthday!
See? If I didn't point it out,
you wouldn't greet me.
Come on. I was just pranking you.
Hey, we're having dinner at Mom's.
She didn't want to go out
because of her arthritis.
- Okay.
- Love, what's this?
Our electric bill's not paid yet?
This is a disconnection notice.
You know what? I'll pay it.
You can do it online now.
Love, I promise I'll do it. Promise.
Are we taking these to your mom's?
- Ah yeah. They'll fit in the trunk, right?

- Yes.
I'll put this on the fridge.

Oh, love. You're already dressed.

My boss suddenly called me.
He wants to see
my presentation all of a sudden.
Can't that wait until tomorrow?
It's Sunday. It's your birthday.
Love, it's okay.
You know how it is. I need to impress him.
Remember? Promotion.

I'm late.
Oh no, love. My boss is already there.

- It's okay.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- It's okay.
Where were you?
At home, sir.
Sir, I'll show you
what I've been working on.
Oops, sorry.
Hold on a second, Pia.
I read it on the group chat.
It's your birthday today?
Huh?
Unbelievable! I made you work.
- My God! Sir.
- I'm so embarrassed.
Sir, it's okay. It really is. No problem.
Oh, please. We're celebrating.
Forget about work for now, alright?
Oh, I don't want to impose. It's fine.
It's really okay.
I'm the one who should be embarrassed.
I almost made the most
hardworking person I know
work on her birthday!
My God, that's unacceptable!
- Thank you, sir.
- Let's celebrate.
- Thank you.
- Put that away.
- You sure?
- Come on.

There we go
Hey, Jay.
Stop asking for expensive things.

I wasn't.

Aki and I are buying
a house for all of us.
It's big. We'll all be comfortable there.
No, thanks.
Mm?
No, thanks.
I'm okay here, dear.
You know I don't like a big empty house.

Of course.
Thank you.

You're not having any of this, Ma.

I can't find it.
Great.
Where is it?
Love, why are you home so late?
Love.
Have you seen my phone?
Love, have you seen my phone?
I can't find it anywhere.
I don't remember where I put it.
Love.
Hey, what happened?
What's wrong?
Love.
Pia.
I don't get it.
What?
You're here looking for your phone
instead of going to my birthday dinner.
Oh, fuck! That's right.
- Yeah, what's this?
- Uh!
That's why you're so drunk, Aki.
You were having your own party.
That's just great.
I only had a few shots.
Shots, really?
Mama and Jay were looking for you.
Fel was there, too.
Sorry, love. It slipped my mind.
Sorry, love.
Aki.
Aki, stop!
You smell like booze.
Love, sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
It slipped my mind
I don't know, maybe because
I've been too stressed?
I'm really sorry.
Why wouldn't I go, huh?
How did you know?
- Tsk. Aki.
- I needed someone
- Aki, stop it.
- Like you
Aki, what the hell?
How was your date, huh?
Kissing on the cheeks?
Please,
Aki. He's my boss.
- Don't change the subject.
- You like him?
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
You're seriously asking?
Mm-hm.
You're being ridiculous.
I don't want to talk to a drunk person.
Love.
I'm really sorry.
Aki.
Love, I'm sorry. I really
didn't mean to miss your birthday.
There's too much on my mind.
I keep forgetting my schedule
I'm really stressed out. Fuck, I'm sorry.
I don't like this, Aki.
What do you mean?
You don't want this?
You don't want us anymore?
- Love?
- Aki, no. That's not what I meant.
Love, you just said you don't want this.
Love!
Love, what did you mean?
Aki, what I'm saying is,
it's my birthday, right?
And you didn't show up.
And I come home to this!
You, drinking.
How do you think I feel?
I can't believe you.
Love, I'm sorry.
I'll make it up to you. I promise.
Love.
What?
Don't leave me, okay?
Don't abandon me like my father did.
Stay with me, okay?
Promise?
Promse.
Okay, I promise.
You stink, Aki.
Well
That's my phone. Why is it there?
See? Keep drinking.
Here,
drink some water. You're drunk.
So annoying.
- Here.
- In the fridge.
I was cooling it.
It was overheating.
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life?
On November 3, 1896, Jose Rizal was taken
to Fort Santiago.
Along with other patriots
and his brother Paciano.
And on November 20, 1896,
the preliminary investigations began.
He faced court
With Judge Advocate Colonel
Francisco Olive.
For five days, he was
For five days, he was
Check the book.
He was investigated,
and on November 26, 1896
What does it say? Let me see.
On Nov...
Good morning, ma'am.
Good afternoon, Aki.
- Ah, right. Good afternoon.
- Have a seat.
Uh, Ms. Panela is here, our chair.
Good afternoon.
Hi, ma'am. Uh
What's the matter?
I called you here because
This is not the first time
that I have received
complaints regarding your attendance.
You have missed several of your classes.
This has been going on for six months,
and I'm scared to say
that it's affecting your students.
The parents are already complaining.
Sir Aki.
I'm sad to say this, but
We might need to let you go
because of this.
I'm sorry.
You're a genius, Pia.
The clients were ecstatic about
the insight on our marketing campaigns.
That's good news, sir.
Congratulations to us.
And congratulations
to our new senior account manager.
Sir?
What was that?
You are this company's
new senior account manager.
You're promoted.
Sir, me? Really?
Am I dreaming?
Sir, thank you! Thank you.
This means so much to me.
Sir, I love this job.
Thank you so much.
That's why we need to celebrate.
When we see our goals
and dreams laid out in front of us,
we'll be focused on achieving them, right?
We'd know where we're headed.
Promise me, okay,
that we'll fulfill all of our dreams.
Oh!
Shit!
- Oh, sir!
- Sorry.
- Sir, I'm okay. Please sit down.
- I'm sorry, Pia.
- I'll take care of this.
- Let's have it replaced.
I spilled it all over your steak.
It's okay.
- Sorry.
- It's okay. It's not a lot.
No.
You are very, very special to me.
I should take care of you.
Isn't that what you want?
To be taken care of.
I appreciate it, sir.
Would you please just call me Carlo?
Get rid of all those honorifics, okay?
You make me feel so old!
- Okay?
- Sorry. Sorry. Yes, sir...
Hey, what did I just say?
Okay.
- Yes?
- Okay, Carlo.
- There we go.
- Carlo.
It's over here, sir. Oh. Here, Carlo.
- Is this it?
- I'm still not used to it.
I hope you enjoyed the steak.
It was lovely. I'm so full.
I had to unbutton my pants.
Same. I think my zipper split open.
Even the buttons.
Alright, uhm
I'm going in.
You didn't tell me
you were coming home late.
I got us some take-out.
Well, we went out to celebrate because
Love, I got promoted
to senior accounts manager!
Wow.
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you.
Thanks, love.
There's more.
I got a raise in my salary,
so we have more money to pay for the house
and for our wedding
and for our honeymoon in Singapore.
Oh, love. Speaking of the wedding
Make sure to take care
of the reception venue, okay?
Let's go with The Fort. It's nice.
Reserve it this week,
and call them immediately,
so we can secure our slot.
Hey.
Love, what's wrong?
Are you okay?
You don't seem happy about my promotion.
Love.
I got fired.
Love.
Love, what happened?
They said I wasn't doing my job properly.
What?
Love, are you really okay?
I'm okay.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I'm going to find another job,
so I can help with our bills.
What's this still doing here?
You haven't paid it?
Am I supposed to do that?
Aki, we agreed
the electric bill is yours, remember?
It was very clear.
What?
Sorry.
Whatever.
I'll do it.
Love.
The spot over there is for?
The photo booth. Make sure.
This is the spot for our sponsors.
- Milk tea next to the brownies.
- Milk tea.
- Remember that, okay?
- Okay.
Oh, the balloons. More balloons.
I want many colors.
- Add more balloons.
- Fel.
Sis!
Love!
- Is this it?
- Careful. Watch your head.
Where is it? Is this the curve?
- Watch your head.
- Okay, okay.
- There.
- Slowly. Almost there.
- Okay... Ah!
- Oh!
Sorry, love.
There.
Well, can I see now?
Yeah, in three, two, one
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
LET'S MAKE UP!
Wow
What's all this?
Well, because
I didn't show up for your birthday,
I got fired,
and I forgot to pay our electric bill.
I've caused you a lot of stress, so
In short, this is to appease you, my love.
Yeah, right, don't you mean
"Because I'm a drunk."
You didn't have to.
It's fine.
It's not fine.
Come on. Let's eat.
Wow!
Is this tinola chicken mami?
You bet.
Fancy mood lighting.
Oh, that. I didn't notice.
Oh, love. Next month, okay?
You're playing the piano at a wedding.
The one Fel told us about.
Oh yeah. I got the details.
Thanks for that, love.
Of course.
Let me try this.
Tinola chicken mami, your favorite!
Are you sure?
Mm-hmm!
Where's the chicken?
I swear to God.
You're right. There's none. Are you okay?
I'll cook some. It won't take long.
Love, it's fine. It's okay.
Then, it's just tinola mami. No chicken.
It's a prank.
Wait. Let me taste it.
Let me taste.
Tastes like chicken?
Tastes like love.
LOVE, DON'T FORGEWHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?
ARE YOU DRINKING AGAIN? AKI???
WHERE ARE YOU, LOVE?
Pia! Who are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for my ride.
I'll drive you home.
Oh no. He's on his way. It's okay.
Hop in.
It's pouring.
Hop in.
Are you sure it's okay?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay.
Thank you. I'm sorry.
- It's nothing.
- He's not answering.
Yeah, I wouldn't want you to get drenched.
By the way,
I'm dropping by my friend's bar
to support them. If that's okay with you.
Sure, no problem.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- God, this is strong!
- Yeah, it is.
I can't drink anymore.
You can handle it though.
No, this is my last one, okay?
- It's too strong.
- I won't drink this again.
Where's your friend?
I'm driving you home anyway.
Even so
That's my last drink.
Carlo.
Love, I need to tell you something.
I'm tired.
I'm going to sleep.
You didn't pick me up.
DID PIA TELL YOU ABOUT THE EVENT?
YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH, FEL!
HI, AKI. SEE YOU LATER AT THE EVENCALL TIME IS 3 P.M.
SO YOU HAVE TIME TO REHEARSE
HELLO, FEL. COPY. SEE YOU
Pia, let me just remind you, okay?
It's been less than two years
since you last paid
your down payment for the house.
Your first down payment
might be forfeited.
Yes, yes. I understand.
I'm sorry.
I'll see what I can do.
Pia.
Uhm
I'm sorry.
For the other night.
It's nothing.
Forget about it.
And
I'm sorry, but
I overheard
that you're having financial problems?
If you need cash,
I can help you.
Oh no.
It's embarrassing. Don't worry about it.
You sure?
I appreciate it, Carlo.
But really, no need.
And, uh, one more thing.
The regional office
presented me with an offer.
They want me to transfer
to Singapore next year.
And they said
I could bring selected team members.
Of course.
Top of mind, you were
the first person I thought of.
- Singapore?
- Mm-hmm. Next year.
It would be a shame to turn it down.
Thanks for the offer.
But
I'll have to think about it.
I'll also ask my fianc.
I hope you'll consider it.
I'm sure this will help your career.
Settle the payments. Hurry.
Secure the suppliers.
We still don't have a pianist.
Hurry up!
What the hell, sis?
I almost got in trouble with my clients.
Good thing we found a pianist last minute.
Fel, I'm so sorry.
Fel, I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't know.
I'll try talking to him later, okay?
I'm sorry. I feel so guilty.
The way I see it, Pia,
I'm doing him a favor.
He should be grateful, girl.
I put my name on the line.
If he doesn't treat me with respect,
he should at least show you some.
You ditched Fel!
They went out of their way
to help you get a job,
and you didn't even show up, Aki?
That's been on your calender
for two months, remember?
What's wrong with you?
Sorry, it slipped my mind.
I'll call Fel later.
What's this?
I just had a few bottles.
Whatever!
You're embarrassing.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what's happening.
You don't know what's happening?
Aki?
Let's not kid ourselves here.
You do know!
You know what's happening to you.
You're a drunk. That's why
our lives are in shambles!
What do you want?
Come on. I'll send you to rehab,
since you're an alcoholic!
I'm not an alcoholic!
Then what the fuck is this?
Aki, please.
I'm begging you.
This is draining me.
You didn't show up at Fel's event.
You didn't pay for the house we're buying.
The wedding reception. What's next?
Oh shit, that's right.
"Oh shit, that's right."
"Oh shit, that's right." Son of bitch!
You know what, Aki?
If this is how we're gonna be
Maybe it's better
if I accept the job my boss
offered in Singapore.
That's next year.
It's work, Aki.
It's a big deal.
Instead of us going nowhere.
Congrats.
I know that it's what
you've always wanted.
But if you're going to Singapore,
what about all our plans?
The wedding.
The honeymoon.
The house we're buying.
Those are all for next year, too.
Then we should plan more carefully.
Right? Let's do
an intimate wedding instead.
Because, Aki,
I want us to fix our lives first.
Because in this situation,
I have no choice
but to accept the job in Singapore.
I can't say no to that.
And you. Get yourself together.
Your drinking.
What's this?
This is expensive.
What the hell, Aki?
We can't even pay for the house.
And we still have expenses
for the wedding.
You lost your job, remember?
Add your drinking to that.
We can't afford all this.
Fuck.
And you're buying all this shit?
What do you think I am?
- That I shit gold?
- What's that anyway?
How should I know?
You bought that, and you're asking me?
For fuck's sake! Fuck.
Aki, what's going on?
Tell me.
Should we go through with this?
Because if you ask me,
Aki, I'm not so sure anymore.
It's been so hard on me.
I'm so tired.
You've been this way for months.
You're in a daze, drinking.
I don't understand, Aki.
Please, if you have a problem, tell me.
So I can understand you.
Because
I'm at my limit.
Pia.
Uh
The thing is
- The thing is
- What?
What?
Speak up!
What now?
You're going to Singapore.
You're leaving me
and throwing it all away!
Go on!
Go there. And that's it?
Huh?
Go on, since you're itching
to go to Singapore!
Please.
Please understand.
I want to achieve more things, Aki.
I want us to do more things.
"Us"?
Pia. "Us"?
I think you mean you!
It's what you want, Pia!
What's the point of planning all this
if you're just going to Singapore?
Huh?
Wow!
You're unbelievable!
Come with me, Aki.
We'll help each other out.
I don't know. Whatever.
What am I gonna do there?
There's no job for me there.
You think it's that easy, Pia?
Huh?
The problem with you is,
you're too fucking ambitious!
Hang on.
Wait.
Why
Why are you making it seem like
I'm only doing this for myself?
Aki, why are you making it
seem like I'm selfish?
You think I'm ambitious?
Huh? Aki?
I'm sorry, okay?
Sorry if I'm ambitious
and I have big dreams.
Because who the fuck am I, right?
I grew up in the slums.
Why would I dream of having a nice job?
Why would I dream of Singapore?
A good life for my mom and my brother?
For my future children?
For our family?
Sorry, Aki,
if I want a good life for the both of us!
Because I'm so sick of being poor.
I'm so tired of living
from hand to mouth, Aki.
I'm sick of it!
Pia?
Pia?
Pia.
Pia, where are you going?
Pia.
Pia, please don't.
Pia, don't leave me. I love you, Pia.
- Don't leave me, please.
- It's not enough that you love me, Aki.
It's not enough that I love you.
Do we starve?
Huh?
Get yourself together first.
Pia.
Pia, please.
Pia, please.
- Please. Pia.
- Aki.
Pia.
Go on. Forget about me!
You all forget about me!
Even you?
Huh? Pia?
We have dreams!
The wedding! The house!
Pia, come on!
- Pia.
- It can't just be me, Aki.
It takes two, right?
Right now,
it feels like I'm alone in this.
Sorry, Aki.
Pia.
- Sorry.
- Sorry. Sorry, Pia.
Sorry, Aki.
Pia.
Pia!
Pia!
Pia, don't leave me.
Pia, I can't do this.
- Aki, stop.
- Pia, I can't do this.
Aki, please.
- Pia, I can't live without you.
- Aki!
Aki, stop it.
Pia.
Pia.
Pia!
Pia.
Pia.
Pia, please.
Pia! Pia! I love you.
I love you.
I love you so much.
I love you so much.
Let me go, Aki.
Sorry.
- Don't leave me.
- Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Aki, sorry. Please.
Forget about all this, okay?
Forget about me, Aki.
- Sorry.
- Pia.
Please.
Pia.
- Pia, please. Don't.
- Bye, Aki.
Pia, please. Don't leave me, please.
Don't leave me, please.
Let's go.
Aki.
Pia.
Let's go.
Pia.
Pia.
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Good morning, babe.
Morning, babe.
Come on.
We still have a meeting.
- Come on.
- Wait.
- Let's go.
- Wait. Five more minutes.
- We have a meeting.
- Wait.
Let's go. Come on.
Babe!
Get up.
We're running late.
- Let's go. Let's go.
- Not yet.
- I'm gonna carry you.
- I'm still sleepy.
- I'm carrying you.
- Okay. I'll get up.
Okay. So, we can stream
our podcast every Saturday,
and one season can go
for about three to four months.
We can talk about
relationships that started
and blossomed on the GTK Dating App.
Do you have a study
on the podcast's effect on us
when it comes to advertising?
Yeah. Actually, we've done the strategy
before with other brands,
and it's proven very, very effective.
Babe, come on.
Let's put up the pictures.
Do we really have to do this?
Of course!
Memories.
The lighting
and the background is good here.
- Here. A better angle, see?
- Alright then.
- The lighting is beautiful.
- Angle.
It is beautiful.
One more.
Let's take another photo on the bridge.
You belong in Singapore.
It's like it was meant to be.
Hi, dear.
Ma, you've moved in?
Let me see.
Here, sis. Look.
- It's big, isn't it? Right, Ma?
- Yes. It's beautiful.
There.
Dear, thank you for buying us a house.
Come here, babe.
- What is it?
- Look, they've moved into the house.
Wow, Auntie. That looks so nice.
Come on. Give me a tour.
Jay, where are you?
That was my dream house then.
Now
My family lives there.
Soon
It's gonna be a mansion.
I really hope so.
Believe it.
I want to meet them.
Babe, come on.
Beautiful!
- Hey, what's the matter?
- Hold up.
- I'm beat.
- Come on.
Let's go.
You're so fit with all your jogging.
You can do it.
Ouch.
Why don't we visit Helix Bridge again?
- It's beautiful.
- We have great pictures there.
- Nice.
- My Team Award.
Congratulations.
Aww, thank you, babe.
Thank you for everything.
In my five years here in Singapore
You were always there for me.
Hi, babe.
By the way, have you spoken to your team?
About that big client.
We're on vacation, remember?
Why are we talking about work?
This is a big client.
- They have to be impressed.
- Okay, babe. Okay.
Tomorrow.
Promise.
Oh?
You're still looking at those?
Thank you, babe.
For what?
For everything.
For all this.
For your help.
Why does it seem like
you're not happy for me?
What do you mean?
I'm happy for you.
I was just hoping that
You'll do more.
Really, Carlo?
Now?
- I just received an award.
- Pia.
I was just hoping
that you would bring in
more business this year.
- I met my target!
- Yes!
You met your target,
but that was the minimum.
Truth is,
I wanted to promote you this year.
But how am I supposed to do that?
When you have nothing to show for it.
Do you get what I mean?
Hello?
Yes.
The proposal is ready,
so we'll have it sent to your email,
And then just reply to us
when you're ready.
Okay, yeah. Yes!
We'll meet you guys tomorrow.
Perfect. Thank you so much.
Okay. Goodbye!
I heart you.
Aww, love!
You're so sweet.
- I love you too.
- Love you.
What is that? You're like a child.
Is it cute?
Anyway
I talked to my guys.
They said we have a special client.
And this looks huge!
We have to secure this immediately.
Are you familiar with the app
called Shop2Go?
Hey.
Earth to Pia.
Are you listening?
Yeah, I am.
Uhm
This is
The Chinese shopping app.
- Right?
- Correct.
And they want to do
an 11-11 and 12-12 campaign.
So, let's call a meeting with our staff.
Also, I spoke with their agency.
HOW ARE YOU?
Babe. You disappeared.
You didn't tell me.
You were taking a while in the restroom,
so I walked around. Is that okay?
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Next time, tell me.
Okay, sorry, Carlo.
- Didn't we talk...
- I'm sorry, Carlo.
Are we good?
Let's go.
Babe.
Why don't we have a vacation in Manila?
Maybe next month.
So we can take a breather.
I'd love that.
I could take a leave for a few weeks.
Right?
I miss my mom and my brother.
Actually,
Manila sounds like a good idea.
So I can finally meet your family.
You should come visit Singapore.
There's a lot
of hidden tourist spots there.
Mm-hmm!
There are great restaurants and bars.
Pia knows what I'm talking about.
Wow, Carlo. Take me and Mama there, okay?
My sister looks like
she was really enjoying herself.
Oh, please, Jay.
It's only fun in the beginning.
When you get used to it, it's like
It's like Fort, Makati.
Nothing special.
And it's super fast-paced.
And it's so hot, it's ridiculous.
Very draining.
It's like you can't breathe.
Anyway
So, Carlo asked us to dinner.
What's up? I feel like something's up.
Don't.
Mm?
Actually
Fel.
Auntie.
Jay.
As you all know,
Pia and I have been
together for five years
and still going strong.
And in that short amount of time,
I've been happy.
She's been happy.
Pia.
Sophia
Ledesma Suarez.
Will you marry me?
- Go for it, girl.
- Go for it.
Go, girl.
Carlo, could you stand up, please?
Excuse me.
Carlo, please stand up.
Carlo, not now.
What do you mean?
I'm still not sure.
I'm sorry. Sorry, I don't know yet.
Excuse me.
Pia.
- Go follow your sister.
- Okay, Ma.
Dear?
What's your plan? Hm?
Are you going back to Singapore?
I need to, Ma.
I still have work.
My gosh.
You two are giving me a headache.
I've ran out of paracetamol.
I even ran out of my meds.
Don't worry, Ma.
I'll buy you some later.
I'm gonna go lie down, okay?
Excuse me.
I stopped by earlier,
but I got nervous.
Of course, Fel. I left him, remember?
How could I face him after all that?
I don't get you, girl.
Why are you still thinking about Aki?
Didn't you break up
because he's a layabout?
He has no job. He's a drunk.
Just forget about him.
I should go, Fel.
I'm at the pharmacy.
Aricept, please. Ten mg, 90 pieces.
Prescription?
Here.
Rekrek?
Hey!
Pia!
How are you?
Long time, no see, eh?
Yeah. I just got back from Singapore.
What about you? How are you?
I'm alright. Just busy with Aki.
I'm buying medicine for him.
Medicine?
Why? H-how is Aki?
What happened?
Come in, Pia. Come in.
I'm sorry about the mess.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom, it's Pia. She's here.
Pia?
Uh, how are you?
Hm?
I'm okay, Auntie.
Uh
Aki!
Aki! Aki, look. It's Pia.
Aki.
Pia, we'll give you some time alone, okay?
I'll I'll make you some oatmeal, okay?
Come, Rekrek. Help me in the kitchen.
Who are you?
Are you my student?
Isn't it
Saturday today?
Why are you here?
Aki, it's me.
It's Pia.
Do Do you remember?
I I used to live here, too.
Here?
We were here together?
When?
Yeah. We
We used to be together all the time.
You used to take care of me.
You would wake me up in the morning.
You would cook for me.
You would drive me to and from work.
And then
Sometimes when I'm sad,
you would play the piano for me.
Do you remember?
Miss.
Who the hell are you?
Aki, don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
Miss, you can't just grab me like that.
What are you doing in our house? Rekrek?
Rekrek?
Who is this?
Chill out, bro.
She's a visitor.
I don't know.
I thought I was just forgetful.
I thought it was the stress.
But I was already sick.
After several examinations,
we have found that
You have early-onset Alzheimer's Disease.
What?
Now, in your case,
there might be rapid deterioration
because you have
a high level of education.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
I'm still fixing this
- It's a camera!
- Camera.
- Camcorder.
- Camcorder, yeah.
You old man.
The things you mentioned,
when you forget
the words for certain things,
forgetting certain events
Those are symptoms.
You were absent yesterday.
We missed you.
Did we have class yesterday?
You're so funny. Why are you in uniform?
Why else? For work.
It's Sunday.
Oh, love.
Happy birthday!
See? If I didn't point it out,
you wouldn't greet me.
Our electric bill's not paid yet?
This is a disconnection notice.
Love, I promise I'll do it.
Why is this still here?
Is it still not paid?
Am I supposed to do that?
Have you seen my phone?
You're looking for your phone
instead of going to my birthday dinner.
- Oh, fuck! That's right.
- Yeah?
On November 26, 1896
Actually, I don't know what's happening.
I don't know why I forget to go to class.
I don't know what's happening.
I don't know what's happening, ma'am.
Have you gotten a checkup?
Tinola chicken mami, your favorite!
Why is there no chicken?
You ditched Fel!
They went out of their way
to help you get a job,
and you didn't even show up, Aki?
That's been on your calender
for two months, remember?
What's wrong with you?
Another symptom is forgetting
the purpose of certain objects.
Love, I need to tell you something.
You didn't pick me up.
I couldn't pick you up because
I didn't know how to start the car.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
You have impulsive purchases.
Out of control spending.
These are all behaviors and symptoms
of someone with Alzheimer's Disease.
This is expensive.
We can't even pay for the house.
And you're buying all this shit?
I started
Drinking.
Alcohol.
So that somehow,
I could feel better.
Come on. I'll send you to rehab,
since you're an alcoholic!
I'm not an alcoholic!
Then what the fuck is this?
She thought I was an alcoholic.
Forget about all this, okay?
Forget about me, Aki.
Let's go.
Pia!
I didn't tell her.
I don't know.
All I know is
something was wrong.
Where am I?
What is this place?
I didn't want to drag her into it.
I
I didn't want to be a burden to her.
Until
She left.
I never wanted this. To forget.
But she forgot about me.
She forgot about everything
we shared together.
But I can't blame her.
She didn't know.
It must be tiring to take care of me.
But if she knew,
I know she wouldn't leave me.
She loves me.
She loves me so much.
We didn't know
when it started. It all happened so fast.
And that was it.
All his memories were gone.
Maybe he got it from my brother,
Aki's father.
In Aki's case, I am very sorry to tell you
that in the late stage of Alzheimer's,
in this situation,
he's going to need
round-the-clock assistance and care.
Doc, won't he be able
to remember anything?
Sometimes, he would be able
to remember some things.
For example,
he could remember his old hobbies.
Like
Like playing a certain musical instrument.
But in his case right now,
it will be hard for him
to remember things.
Maybe there are treatments abroad?
Just to help him remember even a little.
Even just to recognize me.
I'm sorry. There's none.
What will you do, dear?
You still have work in Singapore.
I think I'm going
to stay here for a while, Ma.
For Aki.
Sis, do you want us
to take care of Aki for a bit?
As much as possible,
I want to be the one taking care of him
That's why
I'm going to resign
from my job in Singapore.
Dear.
Stay strong, okay?
Take good care of Aki.
We're here for you.
Come on. This will be quick.
- No.
- Come on.
Look at me.
- No.
- This will be quick.
- Take off your clothes.
- I don't want to.
Shit.
Oh no! Oh my God!
What do I do?
- Oh no! Pia!
- Rekrek!
- What happened?
- Rekrek, I'm sorry.
I was trying to give Aki a bath.
I forgot.
Are you hurt?
N-no.
Aki!
Oh no!
Aki, what did you do?
You're so clumsy.
Rek, can you clean that up?
There's more over there.
Aki.
Oh! Oh!
Oh no! Aki. Aki.
Aki, come here. I'll give you a bath.
- Come on, so you can get cleaned up.
- No.
- I don't want to.
- Come on. Please, Aki.
- I'll help you.
- I said I don't want to!
- What?
- Hey!
Who are you, miss?
What are you doing in my house?
I'm not kidding. I'll call the police!
Who are you?
Who are you?
Aki. Aki, it's me, Pia.
I don't know you!
Who are you?
Rekrek, who is this?
Get out! I'm not kidding!
Please, I don't want any trouble!
Bro, calm down. Calm down.
This is trespassing, miss.
I'm not kidding.
This is trespassing!
Calm down. Get in there, bro.
Stay there, okay?
Go on, Rek. I'll take care of this.
Aki, here. Come on.
Just a little more.
Come on.
Aki, come on.
Aki, it's not good to waste food, okay?
Why do you keep telling me to eat?
You're so annoying.
You're like a broken record.
Look, you made a mess.
Pia, here. For cleaning the wound.
Thank you.
I'll clean this up.
Thank you.
Get him a new bowl.
Rek, can you keep an eye on Aki?
I think someone's at the door.
Carlo.
- Carlo.
- Hey.
- Have some juice.
- Thank you.
Sure.
Oh?
What happened?
- Are you okay?
- Ah, this?
It's nothing. I slipped
Yeah, I'm so clumsy.
Ah, anyway.
I wanted to tell you
that I resigned
from the company in Singapore.
I'm going to start my own
Singapore-based digital agency.
Wow!
That's good. Congratulations.
Thank you.
I thought of offering you a position
in the company.
I want to make you VP.
Uh
- Carlo, it's just that...
- Also, aside from being VP,
I want you to make a shareholder.
We'll be business partners, in a sense.
We'll both run the company.
And I'll give you a relocation package.
Uh, allowance.
Company car!
I'll even pay for your place there.
- And then Maybe we could...
- Carlo.
Thank you.
Thank you for the offer.
But I don't think I can accept it.
But this is your dream, remember?
You were always
telling me about this back then.
Honestly
I thought that would make me happy.
But it turns out
that it's not what I need.
- Pia, please?
- Carlo.
Thank you so much for the offer,
but I have to respectfully decline.
Pia, please?
I don't know why, but
I still love you.
Carlo, I'm sorry.
What the hell?
You need to finish your food. Calm down.
What are you doing?
One last bite.
No!
Leave me alone!
There you go.
Press this one.
Someone told me
that I used to be good
at playing the piano.
You were so talented.
The best of all.
That's why I fell in love with you.
Go on. Try it. Keep practicing.
You'll get it again.
Aki, don't move.
We don't want an accident.
There. Very good.
I have a love message for you.
Hmm? Alright.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
- That's sweet.
- I will never forget you.
- Hm? Promise?
- Promise.
Don't even try.
That's our dream house.
We said that's where we'll make babies.
That's where I'll cook breakfast for you.
Hello! Welcome to our future.
Aki,
look.
Love you!
Aki.
Good.
Chew. Chew it.
Chew. Mm-mmm.
Chew. Chew.
Show your face.
There! You're so silly. Come on.
Let's eat.
He does stuff like this.
- Feed me, love.
- Alright, I'll feed you.
This is our dream wedding.
Come here, Aki.
Over here.
Stay here. Just for a bit.
Trust me.
Father.
I take thee,
Aki Orteza,
to be my lawfully-wedded husband.
From this day forward,
for richer or poorer
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish,
according to God's holy ordinance.
Cheers to the bride and groom!
- Yay!
- Yay!
- Congratulations!
- More, more.
- Yay!
- Yay!
We even planned out the date.
I had my wedding gown fitted.
And I've seen you in your barong.
We even wanted to book
Casa Salome because it's pretty there.
Oh, are you hungry?
Do you want to eat?
The Filipino food here is good.
They have lumpia, chop suey
And our favorite!
Tinola chicken mami.
You know,
you used to copy the dishes here,
so you can cook them for me.
But, of course, I prefer your recipe.
The baby.
Babe.
Okay, there.
There, see.
This is where we used to sit
when we went on dates.
This is our favorite.
Come on.
Taste it.
You might be hungry.
Careful. Ah.
Open your mouth.
Have some soup.
Wow, very good. Isn't it good?
Love.
Mmm.
You know what?
It tastes better when you feed it to me.
So good.
There, good job.
Watch your step.
You proposed to me here, you know?
Over there! Come.
There! And you had a piano.
And you played "How Did You Know?".
And we danced.
Just like this. Hold me here.
We danced like this.
And then,
after we danced,
you said to me
Love.
My beloved.
Mister.
Ever since I met you
I felt that you were the one.
When you came into my life,
I never felt loneliness ever again.
I promise you,
you will never be alone.
For as long as I live, I will serve you
love you.
No matter what.
I will never forget you.
I love you, Aki.
Damn, Aki.
It's true what they say, isn't it?
I guess it's true, Aki.
That we only realize someone's worth
when they're gone.
I want to apologize to you.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, Aki.
I shouldn't have left.
Aki?
Hey.
Aki, why are you crying? Hm?
Are you okay?
Are you sad?
Why are you sad?
I don't know.
It's just so hard. It's so sad.
Is that possible?
Huh?
You're crying, but you don't know why?
That's silly.
Don't cry, okay?
Aki, stop crying. I'm here.
It's so hard.
You know, Aki? Me too.
I'm sad, too.
Because if I knew then
that it was the last time,
I would have embraced you so, so tight.
If I knew that was the last time
I would never have left you.
Now, here we are.
You don't even know who I am.
I know you.
Hm? You know me?
I know you.
Are you my student?
No! You don't know me.
It's okay.
It's okay, hm?
I love you so much, Aki.
I love you so much,
I will never leave you.
Alright. That's enough.
Stop crying.
Stop crying, okay?
Come on.
Let me see. Smile, smile.
Give me a smile.
I'll always be here for you, okay?
Aki?
Aki?
Aki?
I've missed that,
the song "How Did You Know"?.
Play it to me,
as if you're proposing to me.
Someone told me
that I used to be good
at playing the piano.
You were so good.
That's why I fell for you.
Morning, love.
What are you staring at?
Only the face of my beautiful fiance.
So I don't forget.
Come on. I'll give you a bath.
- Hm?
- Come on.
Give me a bath?
Wait... Oh, please.
No, no.
I can walk
You're so weird.
Love.
Aww, love. You're so sweet.
- I love you, too.
- Love you.
- Have some breakfast.
- Oh. I can't, love.
I need to go.
I have a presentation today, remember?
I can't be late. I'll just book a cab.
No, it's fine. I'll take you.
- Huh?
- Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Alright, let's go.
Thanks, love. Sorry. I didn't get to eat
So, what we can do is,
we can book vloggers who are moms.
And these vloggers
will produce our main content
about cooking for their kids. Like
Anna Sy.
UNLI COOKING
Anna Sy has two million subscribers
on her YT account alone.
And she's not even an actress.
She's a working mom
who just so happens
to love vlogging with her kids.
Which makes her more credible
and more authentic.
Good idea. You know how the consumers
would think if it was an artist.
What are the platforms involved again?
Okay, we can do FB and YT,
which are the top
two social media platforms.
We can do IG reels and IGTV,
and on top of that
The clients were extremely pleased
with your marketing presentation.
And because of you,
the business was awarded to us.
- Oh, wow! Really?
- Mm-hmm!
Thanks, sir. Congratulations to us.
You know, Pia,
I'm quite impressed with you.
Because of that,
I'm thinking of assigning
our biggest client to you.
JTK Apparel.
- JTK Apparel?
- Mm-hmm!
Sir, are you serious?
Yes! I'm serious.
Wow!
Sir, thank you! Thank you!
I can't believe it...
Sorry, I'm being too loud.
I just got excited. Thank you.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Take your lunch break.
Okay, sir. Thank you.
- Congratulations.
- Sir, thank you again!
Dr. Jose Rizal had many siblings.
The eldest was Saturnina Rizal.

Narcisa Rizal, or simply, Sisa.
Olympia Rizal. Lucia Rizal Herbosa.
Maria Rizal Cruz.
Concepcion Rizal.
Josefa Rizal. Trinidad Rizal.
And the youngest
among them was Soledad Rizal.
Sir Aki,
that's a lot of names to memorize.
You must have so much patience
to become a history teacher.
It can be a pleasure
to look back on the past.
And as George Santayana once said,
"Those who cannot remember
the past are condemned to repeat it."
And because of your comment Gio, pop quiz.
- What?
- Sir!
Love?
- Love!
- Yeah?
Love! I'm hungry. Let's eat.
Cook something.
Yeah, I will.
I'm still fixing this
What do you call this? Uh
- The
- What?
For recording. For
- It's a camera!
- For taking videos.
- Camera.
- Camcorder!
- That's what I said. Camera.
- You old man.
Sorry.
I thought it wasn't working anymore.
Why don't you buy an SLR?
Look around.
You have a bunch of old stuff
- just sitting there collecting dust.
- Love.
It's good to look back on the past.
Here we go again.
Because the past
lets us appreciate the present
and look towards the future.
Is my hair okay?
- Yes, it's okay.
- The baby.
You look so handsome there, love.
You look beautiful as always.
I'm baby girl princess.
What about you?
- Baby boy prince.
- Wow! Baby boy.
- Tinola chicken mami!
- Tinola chicken mami!
Mwaah!
- Feed me with the spoon, love.
- Alright, I will.
That's a mouthful!
Love.
The old,
the bygone times
The past tells us where we began.
So, love,
if you're feeling bored,
if you're feeling tired,
if you're starting to forget,
look back on our memories.
Remember
Love, you'll remember
how much you mean to me.
Wow! Jose Rizal, is that you?
Such a poet.
It's a bit much. Cut it out.
My lady.
You are my beloved.
Hey, love.
It's your proposal.
Yes.
Oh.
My beloved.
My lady.
The first time I laid eyes on you,
I knew you were the one.
You are the one.
For as long as I live, I will serve you,
love you.
And no matter what,
I will never forget you.
I love you, Pia.
I love you.
I love you.
I'm so in love with you.
Oh, stop it.
Sophia Suarez, will you marry me?
- Of course, I'll marry you. Duh.
- Yes.
- Yes!
- Yes! A thousand times yes!
Yes! Okay, put the ring on my finger.
Thank you.
Yeah!
I miss that song.
- "How Did You Know?".
- Really?
Play it for me.
- Sure.
- Now, please?
- Now?
- Right now.
- Okay.
- Pretend you're proposing to me again.
- Sure thing.
- Come on. Hurry.
Okay, let's go. Then cook dinner?
Alright I'll cook dinner.
Come on.
- What are these?
- They're pictures of all our dreams.
We'll hang them on our dream wall.
It's called "manifestation".
Is that even real?
Of course!
When we see our goals
and dreams laid out in front of us,
we'll be more focused
on achieving them, right?
We'd know where we're headed.
That's our dream house, there.
Isn't that too big, love?
Won't we get lost in there?
We might as well dream big, right?
And we won't get lost in there.
We'll be holding hands.
Where should we put the piano?
That's our house.
It's where we'll start a family.
They'll grow up there.
We'll grow old there.
With Mama and Jay.
Mm-hmm!
Welcome, sir.
This is the house model.
It feels like this house
has good vibes, doesn't it?
Don't you agree? Do we need to Do we
still need to hire a feng shui expert?
Can we afford this?
We can. We have to.
- Okay.
- Alright.
We'll get married here.
That's where Popoy and Basha got married.
- Seriously?
- Didn't you watch the movie?
Sorry.
It's because you don't help me
with the planning.
Love, are you done yet?
Wait. I'm almost done.
Let's practice.
Father.
I take thee,
Sophia Suarez,
to be my lawfully-wedded wife,
even if she spends too much.
Love, don't ruin the moment.
Come on. Keep going.
So, there you have it, Father.
From this day forward,
for richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
according to God's holy ordinance.
We've had several bookings
for next year, all weddings.
Oh? I see.
But we can reserve it, right?
Yes, we just need a reservation fee.
Oh, wow. That was a bad twist.
Hey, love.
- Sorry for the PDA.
- Sorry. It's fine.
- It's okay. Enjoy yourselves.
- We're just excited.
What will we do here?
Well, you know
We'll make a baby.
- Babies?
- Yeah!
Babies
Plural.
Plural.
This will be our room.
- Beautiful.
- This is where we'll make a baby.
What?
What did you say?
This is where we'll make a baby.

- Come here.
Are you sure?

It's so soft.
Why?
Let's make a baby.
Later, we'll make one.

What's with you?
Love, we'll get in trouble. We still have
Love! You're tickling me
Ma! We have a surprise for you!
Here you go!
Dear, what is this?
You're spending all your money.
There's more.
I'm buying you an air conditioner.
An air conditioner? Oh, please,
there are too many gaps in the walls.
- Mom. I want to do it for you.
- What's this?
Thank you so much.
These are all for you.
- Thank you, sis.
- Don't break it.
Hey, guys, didn't see you there.
Hello. Welcome to our vlog. Hey. Hey.
Oh, hang on. Love.
Here. Is this okay?
Singapore.
I'll record you.
Pretend you're arranging the frames.
This is where we'll have our honeymoon.
We'll book a room right over here.
Welcome to our future.
Promise me, okay,
that we'll fulfill all our dreams.
Aunt Lorna, I'm sorry.
This is all I can give you.
Oh no, I should be saying sorry.
It's embarrassing.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
There's no need.
This is me helping you.
Thank you, Aki.
We're family. We should
be looking out for each other.
We're just low on funds right now.
But I will pay you back, I promise.
- Pia!
- Hi, Rek!
- How are you?
- Hi, Auntie. How are you?
- How are you? Oh my, look at you.
- Long time no see!
- So pretty and still sexy, I see.
- Thank you, Auntie.
When is your wedding again?
It's next year, Auntie.
- Wow!
- You and Rekrek better be there.
- Hey! Aki
- Awesome.
You used to be so little
- I'm the same old Aki.
- Still little.
My naughtiest nephew,

If I don't see you two at the wedding,
I'll be so upset with you.
- Oh!
- Hey, no.
- Watch out.
- Come on.
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon.
You were absent yesterday. We missed you.
Did we have class yesterday?
Yes, sir.
Our schedule
is Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays.
How was the presentation?
It went well. Sir Carlo loved it.
So did the client.
Wow.
My wife is amazing.
As for me
Did you know
I've been missing a lot of classes?
Maybe because I'm so busy
with the wedding plans
and with the house?
Love, I already told you
not to worry about that.
I'll take care of the wedding planning.
Oh, love.
- Mm?
- I just remembered.
What should we do on my birthday?
You birthday?
That's in two months. Isn't it
too early to be thinking about it?
What's the matter?
You're such a buzzkill.
Let's have dinner with my mom and brother.
Dinner. Okay.
Dinner and then afterwards, you know
Hey. Love, it's not my birthday yet!
Hey, I'm still working.
Love! Love, my laptop.
Stop it.
Later! I'm still working.
Just hug me like this.
- Huh? Love.
- Mm?
Love!
Love! Love.
The designer replied.
Remember, Camille's contact?
They gave us a discount!
- Yay!
- Yay!
Yes!
Gosh, love.
It was a hectic day at the office.
Oh yeah?

See you, Ma. I have to do some chores.
Okay, dear. Love you. Bye!
Love you, Ma. Buh-bye.

Let's go. We're running late.
Why aren't you dressed?
Love, you're so funny.
Why are you in uniform?
Why else? For work.
Love.
It's Sunday.
Like I said, it's Sunday.
Mmm.
I'm on Monday time.
Hey, love.
Mm?
Happy birthday!
See? If I didn't point it out,
you wouldn't greet me.
Come on. I was just pranking you.
Hey, we're having dinner at Mom's.
She didn't want to go out
because of her arthritis.
- Okay.
- Love, what's this?
Our electric bill's not paid yet?
This is a disconnection notice.
You know what? I'll pay it.
You can do it online now.
Love, I promise I'll do it. Promise.
Are we taking these to your mom's?
- Ah yeah. They'll fit in the trunk, right?
- Yeah.
- Should I load them up?
- Yes.
I'll put this on the fridge.
- So you don't forget.
- Okay.
Oh, love. You're already dressed.
- I know.
- Dinner with Mom is much later.
My boss suddenly called me.
He wants to see
my presentation all of a sudden.
Can't that wait until tomorrow?
It's Sunday. It's your birthday.
Love, it's okay.
You know how it is. I need to impress him.
Remember? Promotion.

I'm late.
Oh no, love. My boss is already there.
Don't forget my bithday dinner, okay?

- Sir, did you wait long?
- It's okay.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- It's okay.
Where were you?
At home, sir.
Sir, I'll show you
what I've been working on.
Oops, sorry.
Hold on a second, Pia.
I read it on the group chat.
It's your birthday today?
Huh?
Unbelievable! I made you work.
- My God! Sir.
- I'm so embarrassed.
Sir, it's okay. It really is. No problem.
Oh, please. We're celebrating.
Forget about work for now, alright?
Oh, I don't want to impose. It's fine.
It's really okay.
I'm the one who should be embarrassed.
I almost made the most
hardworking person I know
work on her birthday!
My God, that's unacceptable!
- Thank you, sir.
- Let's celebrate.
- Thank you.
- Put that away.
- You sure?
- Come on.
- Thank you, sir.
- That's for you.
- Happy birthday.

You're just gonna leave him?
Dad, don't leave me!

It's the last semester. Finish it.
Thank you, sis.
You're the best.

Maybe you could
buy me a new pair of rubber shoes, too?
There we go
Hey, Jay.
Stop asking for expensive things.
- Quit bothering your sister.
- Tell him, Mom!
I wasn't.
- Oh, Ma.
- Here you go.
Aki and I are buying
a house for all of us.
It's big. We'll all be comfortable there.
No, thanks.
Mm?
No, thanks.
I'm okay here, dear.
You know I don't like a big empty house.
- Right?

And you know this is my dream for us.
I want us to live in a nice house.
Thank you, dear.
Of course.
Thank you.
Oh, Ma. Have you taken
your maintenance meds?

You're not having any of this, Ma.
Oh, what about Aki?
Where is he?
I don't know where he is.

I know it's here somewhere.
I can't find it.
Great.
Where is it?
Love, why are you home so late?
Love.
Have you seen my phone?
Love, have you seen my phone?
I can't find it anywhere.
I don't remember where I put it.
Love.
Hey, what happened?
What's wrong?
Love.
Pia.
I don't get it.
What?
You're here looking for your phone
instead of going to my birthday dinner.
Oh, fuck! That's right.
- Yeah, what's this?
- Uh!
That's why you're so drunk, Aki.
You were having your own party.
That's just great.
I only had a few shots.
Shots, really?
Mama and Jay were looking for you.
Fel was there, too.
Sorry, love. It slipped my mind.
Sorry, love.
Aki.
Aki, stop!
You smell like booze.
Love, sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
It slipped my mind
I don't know, maybe because
I've been too stressed?
I'm really sorry.
Why wouldn't I go, huh?
How did you know?
- Tsk. Aki.
- I needed someone
- Aki, stop it.
- Like you
Aki, what the hell?
How was your date, huh?
Kissing on the cheeks?
Please,
Aki. He's my boss.
- Don't change the subject.
- You like him?
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
You're seriously asking?
Mm-hm.
You're being ridiculous.
I don't want to talk to a drunk person.
Love.
I'm really sorry.
Aki.
Love, I'm sorry. I really
didn't mean to miss your birthday.
There's too much on my mind.
I keep forgetting my schedule
I'm really stressed out. Fuck, I'm sorry.
I don't like this, Aki.
What do you mean?
You don't want this?
You don't want us anymore?
- Love?
- Aki, no. That's not what I meant.
Love, you just said you don't want this.
Love!
Love, what did you mean?
Aki, what I'm saying is,
it's my birthday, right?
And you didn't show up.
And I come home to this!
You, drinking.
How do you think I feel?
I can't believe you.
Love, I'm sorry.
I'll make it up to you. I promise.
Love.
What?
Don't leave me, okay?
Don't abandon me like my father did.
Stay with me, okay?
Promise?
Promse.
Okay, I promise.
You stink, Aki.
Well
That's my phone. Why is it there?
See? Keep drinking.
Here,
drink some water. You're drunk.
So annoying.
- Here.
- In the fridge.
I was cooling it.
It was overheating.
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life?
On November 3, 1896, Jose Rizal was taken
to Fort Santiago.
Along with other patriots
and his brother Paciano.
And on November 20, 1896,
the preliminary investigations began.
He faced court
With Judge Advocate Colonel
Francisco Olive.
For five days, he was
For five days, he was
Check the book.
He was investigated,
and on November 26, 1896
What does it say? Let me see.
On Nov...
Good morning, ma'am.
Good afternoon, Aki.
- Ah, right. Good afternoon.
- Have a seat.
Uh, Ms. Panela is here, our chair.
Good afternoon.
Hi, ma'am. Uh
What's the matter?
I called you here because
This is not the first time
that I have received
complaints regarding your attendance.
You have missed several of your classes.
This has been going on for six months,
and I'm scared to say
that it's affecting your students.
The parents are already complaining.
Sir Aki.
I'm sad to say this, but
We might need to let you go
because of this.
I'm sorry.
You're a genius, Pia.
The clients were ecstatic about
the insight on our marketing campaigns.
That's good news, sir.
Congratulations to us.
And congratulations
to our new senior account manager.
Sir?
What was that?
You are this company's
new senior account manager.
You're promoted.
Sir, me? Really?
Am I dreaming?
Sir, thank you! Thank you.
This means so much to me.
Sir, I love this job.
Thank you so much.
That's why we need to celebrate.
When we see our goals
and dreams laid out in front of us,
we'll be focused on achieving them, right?
We'd know where we're headed.
Promise me, okay,
that we'll fulfill all of our dreams.
Oh!
Shit!
- Oh, sir!
- Sorry.
- Sir, I'm okay. Please sit down.
- I'm sorry, Pia.
- I'll take care of this.
- Let's have it replaced.
I spilled it all over your steak.
It's okay.
- Sorry.
- It's okay. It's not a lot.
No.
You are very, very special to me.
I should take care of you.
Isn't that what you want?
To be taken care of.
I appreciate it, sir.
Would you please just call me Carlo?
Get rid of all those honorifics, okay?
You make me feel so old!
- Okay?
- Sorry. Sorry. Yes, sir...
Hey, what did I just say?
Okay.
- Yes?
- Okay, Carlo.
- There we go.
- Carlo.
It's over here, sir. Oh. Here, Carlo.
- Is this it?
- I'm still not used to it.
I hope you enjoyed the steak.
It was lovely. I'm so full.
I had to unbutton my pants.
Same. I think my zipper split open.
Even the buttons.
Alright, uhm
I'm going in.
You didn't tell me
you were coming home late.
I got us some take-out.
Well, we went out to celebrate because
Love, I got promoted
to senior accounts manager!
Wow.
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you.
Thanks, love.
There's more.
I got a raise in my salary,
so we have more money to pay for the house
and for our wedding
and for our honeymoon in Singapore.
Oh, love. Speaking of the wedding
Make sure to take care
of the reception venue, okay?
Let's go with The Fort. It's nice.
Reserve it this week,
and call them immediately,
so we can secure our slot.
Hey.
Love, what's wrong?
Are you okay?
You don't seem happy about my promotion.
Love.
I got fired.
Love.
Love, what happened?
They said I wasn't doing my job properly.
What?
Love, are you really okay?
I'm okay.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I'm going to find another job,
so I can help with our bills.
What's this still doing here?
You haven't paid it?
Am I supposed to do that?
Aki, we agreed
the electric bill is yours, remember?
It was very clear.
What?
Sorry.
Whatever.
I'll do it.
Love.
The spot over there is for?
The photo booth. Make sure.
This is the spot for our sponsors.
- Milk tea next to the brownies.
- Milk tea.
- Remember that, okay?
- Okay.
Oh, the balloons. More balloons.
I want many colors.
- Add more balloons.
- Fel.
Sis!
Love!
- Is this it?
- Careful. Watch your head.
Where is it? Is this the curve?
- Watch your head.
- Okay, okay.
- There.
- Slowly. Almost there.
- Okay... Ah!
- Oh!
Sorry, love.
There.
Well, can I see now?
Yeah, in three, two, one
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
LET'S MAKE UP!
Wow
What's all this?
Well, because
I didn't show up for your birthday,
I got fired,
and I forgot to pay our electric bill.
I've caused you a lot of stress, so
In short, this is to appease you, my love.
Yeah, right, don't you mean
"Because I'm a drunk."
You didn't have to.
It's fine.
It's not fine.
Come on. Let's eat.
Wow!
Is this tinola chicken mami?
You bet.
Fancy mood lighting.
Oh, that. I didn't notice.
Oh, love. Next month, okay?
You're playing the piano at a wedding.
The one Fel told us about.
Oh yeah. I got the details.
Thanks for that, love.
Of course.
Let me try this.
Tinola chicken mami, your favorite!
Are you sure?
Mm-hmm!
Where's the chicken?
I swear to God.
You're right. There's none. Are you okay?
I'll cook some. It won't take long.
Love, it's fine. It's okay.
Then, it's just tinola mami. No chicken.
It's a prank.
Wait. Let me taste it.
Let me taste.
Tastes like chicken?
Tastes like love.
LOVE, DON'T FORGEWHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?
ARE YOU DRINKING AGAIN? AKI???
WHERE ARE YOU, LOVE?
Pia! Who are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for my ride.
I'll drive you home.
Oh no. He's on his way. It's okay.
Hop in.
It's pouring.
Hop in.
Are you sure it's okay?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay.
Thank you. I'm sorry.
- It's nothing.
- He's not answering.
Yeah, I wouldn't want you to get drenched.
By the way,
I'm dropping by my friend's bar
to support them. If that's okay with you.
Sure, no problem.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- God, this is strong!
- Yeah, it is.
I can't drink anymore.
You can handle it though.
No, this is my last one, okay?
- It's too strong.
- I won't drink this again.
Where's your friend?
I'm driving you home anyway.
Even so
That's my last drink.
Carlo.
Love, I need to tell you something.
I'm tired.
I'm going to sleep.
You didn't pick me up.
DID PIA TELL YOU ABOUT THE EVENT?
YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH, FEL!
HI, AKI. SEE YOU LATER AT THE EVENCALL TIME IS 3 P.M.
SO YOU HAVE TIME TO REHEARSE
HELLO, FEL. COPY. SEE YOU
Pia, let me just remind you, okay?
It's been less than two years
since you last paid
your down payment for the house.
Your first down payment
might be forfeited.
Yes, yes. I understand.
I'm sorry.
I'll see what I can do.
Pia.
Uhm
I'm sorry.
For the other night.
It's nothing.
Forget about it.
And
I'm sorry, but
I overheard
that you're having financial problems?
If you need cash,
I can help you.
Oh no.
It's embarrassing. Don't worry about it.
You sure?
I appreciate it, Carlo.
But really, no need.
And, uh, one more thing.
The regional office
presented me with an offer.
They want me to transfer
to Singapore next year.
And they said
I could bring selected team members.
Of course.
Top of mind, you were
the first person I thought of.
- Singapore?
- Mm-hmm. Next year.
It would be a shame to turn it down.
Thanks for the offer.
But
I'll have to think about it.
I'll also ask my fianc.
I hope you'll consider it.
I'm sure this will help your career.
Settle the payments. Hurry.
Secure the suppliers.
We still don't have a pianist.
Hurry up!
What the hell, sis?
I almost got in trouble with my clients.
Good thing we found a pianist last minute.
Fel, I'm so sorry.
Fel, I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't know.
I'll try talking to him later, okay?
I'm sorry. I feel so guilty.
The way I see it, Pia,
I'm doing him a favor.
He should be grateful, girl.
I put my name on the line.
If he doesn't treat me with respect,
he should at least show you some.
You ditched Fel!
They went out of their way
to help you get a job,
and you didn't even show up, Aki?
That's been on your calender
for two months, remember?
What's wrong with you?
Sorry, it slipped my mind.
I'll call Fel later.
What's this?
I just had a few bottles.
Whatever!
You're embarrassing.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what's happening.
You don't know what's happening?
Aki?
Let's not kid ourselves here.
You do know!
You know what's happening to you.
You're a drunk. That's why
our lives are in shambles!
What do you want?
Come on. I'll send you to rehab,
since you're an alcoholic!
I'm not an alcoholic!
Then what the fuck is this?
Aki, please.
I'm begging you.
This is draining me.
You didn't show up at Fel's event.
You didn't pay for the house we're buying.
The wedding reception. What's next?
Oh shit, that's right.
"Oh shit, that's right."
"Oh shit, that's right." Son of bitch!
You know what, Aki?
If this is how we're gonna be
Maybe it's better
if I accept the job my boss
offered in Singapore.
That's next year.
It's work, Aki.
It's a big deal.
Instead of us going nowhere.
Congrats.
I know that it's what
you've always wanted.
But if you're going to Singapore,
what about all our plans?
The wedding.
The honeymoon.
The house we're buying.
Those are all for next year, too.
Then we should plan more carefully.
Right? Let's do
an intimate wedding instead.
Because, Aki,
I want us to fix our lives first.
Because in this situation,
I have no choice
but to accept the job in Singapore.
I can't say no to that.
And you. Get yourself together.
Your drinking.
What's this?
This is expensive.
What the hell, Aki?
We can't even pay for the house.
And we still have expenses
for the wedding.
You lost your job, remember?
Add your drinking to that.
We can't afford all this.
Fuck.
And you're buying all this shit?
What do you think I am?
- That I shit gold?
- What's that anyway?
How should I know?
You bought that, and you're asking me?
For fuck's sake! Fuck.
Aki, what's going on?
Tell me.
Should we go through with this?
Because if you ask me,
Aki, I'm not so sure anymore.
It's been so hard on me.
I'm so tired.
You've been this way for months.
You're in a daze, drinking.
I don't understand, Aki.
Please, if you have a problem, tell me.
So I can understand you.
Because
I'm at my limit.
Pia.
Uh
The thing is
- The thing is
- What?
What?
Speak up!
What now?
You're going to Singapore.
You're leaving me
and throwing it all away!
Go on!
Go there. And that's it?
Huh?
Go on, since you're itching
to go to Singapore!
Please.
Please understand.
I want to achieve more things, Aki.
I want us to do more things.
"Us"?
Pia. "Us"?
I think you mean you!
It's what you want, Pia!
What's the point of planning all this
if you're just going to Singapore?
Huh?
Wow!
You're unbelievable!
Come with me, Aki.
We'll help each other out.
I don't know. Whatever.
What am I gonna do there?
There's no job for me there.
You think it's that easy, Pia?
Huh?
The problem with you is,
you're too fucking ambitious!
Hang on.
Wait.
Why
Why are you making it seem like
I'm only doing this for myself?
Aki, why are you making it
seem like I'm selfish?
You think I'm ambitious?
Huh? Aki?
I'm sorry, okay?
Sorry if I'm ambitious
and I have big dreams.
Because who the fuck am I, right?
I grew up in the slums.
Why would I dream of having a nice job?
Why would I dream of Singapore?
A good life for my mom and my brother?
For my future children?
For our family?
Sorry, Aki,
if I want a good life for the both of us!
Because I'm so sick of being poor.
I'm so tired of living
from hand to mouth, Aki.
I'm sick of it!
Pia?
Pia?
Pia.
Pia, where are you going?
Pia.
Pia, please don't.
Pia, don't leave me. I love you, Pia.
- Don't leave me, please.
- It's not enough that you love me, Aki.
It's not enough that I love you.
Do we starve?
Huh?
Get yourself together first.
Pia.
Pia, please.
Pia, please.
- Please. Pia.
- Aki.
Pia.
Go on. Forget about me!
You all forget about me!
Even you?
Huh? Pia?
We have dreams!
The wedding! The house!
Pia, come on!
- Pia.
- It can't just be me, Aki.
It takes two, right?
Right now,
it feels like I'm alone in this.
Sorry, Aki.
Pia.
- Sorry.
- Sorry. Sorry, Pia.
Sorry, Aki.
Pia.
Pia!
Pia!
Pia, don't leave me.
Pia, I can't do this.
- Aki, stop.
- Pia, I can't do this.
Aki, please.
- Pia, I can't live without you.
- Aki!
Aki, stop it.
Pia.
Pia.
Pia!
Pia.
Pia.
Pia, please.
Pia! Pia! I love you.
I love you.
I love you so much.
I love you so much.
Let me go, Aki.
Sorry.
- Don't leave me.
- Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Aki, sorry. Please.
Forget about all this, okay?
Forget about me, Aki.
- Sorry.
- Pia.
Please.
Pia.
- Pia, please. Don't.
- Bye, Aki.
Pia, please. Don't leave me, please.
Don't leave me, please.
Let's go.
Aki.
Pia.
Let's go.
Pia.
Pia.
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Pia!
Good morning, babe.
Morning, babe.
Come on.
We still have a meeting.
- Come on.
- Wait.
- Let's go.
- Wait. Five more minutes.
- We have a meeting.
- Wait.
Let's go. Come on.
Babe!
Get up.
We're running late.
- Let's go. Let's go.
- Not yet.
- I'm gonna carry you.
- I'm still sleepy.
- I'm carrying you.
- Okay. I'll get up.
Okay. So, we can stream
our podcast every Saturday,
and one season can go
for about three to four months.
We can talk about
relationships that started
and blossomed on the GTK Dating App.
Do you have a study
on the podcast's effect on us
when it comes to advertising?
Yeah. Actually, we've done the strategy
before with other brands,
and it's proven very, very effective.
Babe, come on.
Let's put up the pictures.
Do we really have to do this?
Of course!
Memories.
The lighting
and the background is good here.
- Here. A better angle, see?
- Alright then.
- The lighting is beautiful.
- Angle.
It is beautiful.
One more.
Let's take another photo on the bridge.
You belong in Singapore.
It's like it was meant to be.
Hi, dear.
Ma, you've moved in?
Let me see.
Here, sis. Look.
- It's big, isn't it? Right, Ma?
- Yes. It's beautiful.
There.
Dear, thank you for buying us a house.
Come here, babe.
- What is it?
- Look, they've moved into the house.
Wow, Auntie. That looks so nice.
Come on. Give me a tour.
Jay, where are you?
That was my dream house then.
Now
My family lives there.
Soon
It's gonna be a mansion.
I really hope so.
Believe it.
I want to meet them.
Babe, come on.
Beautiful!
- Hey, what's the matter?
- Hold up.
- I'm beat.
- Come on.
Let's go.
You're so fit with all your jogging.
You can do it.
Ouch.
Why don't we visit Helix Bridge again?
- It's beautiful.
- We have great pictures there.
- Nice.
- My Team Award.
Congratulations.
Aww, thank you, babe.
Thank you for everything.
In my five years here in Singapore
You were always there for me.
Hi, babe.
By the way, have you spoken to your team?
About that big client.
We're on vacation, remember?
Why are we talking about work?
This is a big client.
- They have to be impressed.
- Okay, babe. Okay.
Tomorrow.
Promise.
Oh?
You're still looking at those?
Thank you, babe.
For what?
For everything.
For all this.
For your help.
Why does it seem like
you're not happy for me?
What do you mean?
I'm happy for you.
I was just hoping that
You'll do more.
Really, Carlo?
Now?
- I just received an award.
- Pia.
I was just hoping
that you would bring in
more business this year.
- I met my target!
- Yes!
You met your target,
but that was the minimum.
Truth is,
I wanted to promote you this year.
But how am I supposed to do that?
When you have nothing to show for it.
Do you get what I mean?
Hello?
Yes.
The proposal is ready,
so we'll have it sent to your email,
And then just reply to us
when you're ready.
Okay, yeah. Yes!
We'll meet you guys tomorrow.
Perfect. Thank you so much.
Okay. Goodbye!
I heart you.
Aww, love!
You're so sweet.
- I love you too.
- Love you.
What is that? You're like a child.
Is it cute?
Anyway
I talked to my guys.
They said we have a special client.
And this looks huge!
We have to secure this immediately.
Are you familiar with the app
called Shop2Go?
Hey.
Earth to Pia.
Are you listening?
Yeah, I am.
Uhm
This is
The Chinese shopping app.
- Right?
- Correct.
And they want to do
an 11-11 and 12-12 campaign.
So, let's call a meeting with our staff.
Also, I spoke with their agency.
HOW ARE YOU?
Babe. You disappeared.
You didn't tell me.
You were taking a while in the restroom,
so I walked around. Is that okay?
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Next time, tell me.
Okay, sorry, Carlo.
- Didn't we talk...
- I'm sorry, Carlo.
Are we good?
Let's go.
Babe.
Why don't we have a vacation in Manila?
Maybe next month.
So we can take a breather.
I'd love that.
I could take a leave for a few weeks.
Right?
I miss my mom and my brother.
Actually,
Manila sounds like a good idea.
So I can finally meet your family.
You should come visit Singapore.
There's a lot
of hidden tourist spots there.
Mm-hmm!
There are great restaurants and bars.
Pia knows what I'm talking about.
Wow, Carlo. Take me and Mama there, okay?
My sister looks like
she was really enjoying herself.
Oh, please, Jay.
It's only fun in the beginning.
When you get used to it, it's like
It's like Fort, Makati.
Nothing special.
And it's super fast-paced.
And it's so hot, it's ridiculous.
Very draining.
It's like you can't breathe.
Anyway
So, Carlo asked us to dinner.
What's up? I feel like something's up.
Don't.
Mm?
Actually
Fel.
Auntie.
Jay.
As you all know,
Pia and I have been
together for five years
and still going strong.
And in that short amount of time,
I've been happy.
She's been happy.
Pia.
Sophia
Ledesma Suarez.
Will you marry me?
- Go for it, girl.
- Go for it.
Go, girl.
Carlo, could you stand up, please?
Excuse me.
Carlo, please stand up.
Carlo, not now.
What do you mean?
I'm still not sure.
I'm sorry. Sorry, I don't know yet.
Excuse me.
Pia.
- Go follow your sister.
- Okay, Ma.
Dear?
What's your plan? Hm?
Are you going back to Singapore?
I need to, Ma.
I still have work.
My gosh.
You two are giving me a headache.
I've ran out of paracetamol.
I even ran out of my meds.
Don't worry, Ma.
I'll buy you some later.
I'm gonna go lie down, okay?
Excuse me.
I stopped by earlier,
but I got nervous.
Of course, Fel. I left him, remember?
How could I face him after all that?
I don't get you, girl.
Why are you still thinking about Aki?
Didn't you break up
because he's a layabout?
He has no job. He's a drunk.
Just forget about him.
I should go, Fel.
I'm at the pharmacy.
Aricept, please. Ten mg, 90 pieces.
Prescription?
Here.
Rekrek?
Hey!
Pia!
How are you?
Long time, no see, eh?
Yeah. I just got back from Singapore.
What about you? How are you?
I'm alright. Just busy with Aki.
I'm buying medicine for him.
Medicine?
Why? H-how is Aki?
What happened?
Come in, Pia. Come in.
I'm sorry about the mess.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom, it's Pia. She's here.
Pia?
Uh, how are you?
Hm?
I'm okay, Auntie.
Uh
Aki!
Aki! Aki, look. It's Pia.
Aki.
Pia, we'll give you some time alone, okay?
I'll I'll make you some oatmeal, okay?
Come, Rekrek. Help me in the kitchen.
Who are you?
Are you my student?
Isn't it
Saturday today?
Why are you here?
Aki, it's me.
It's Pia.
Do Do you remember?
I I used to live here, too.
Here?
We were here together?
When?
Yeah. We
We used to be together all the time.
You used to take care of me.
You would wake me up in the morning.
You would cook for me.
You would drive me to and from work.
And then
Sometimes when I'm sad,
you would play the piano for me.
Do you remember?
Miss.
Who the hell are you?
Aki, don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
Miss, you can't just grab me like that.
What are you doing in our house? Rekrek?
Rekrek?
Who is this?
Chill out, bro.
She's a visitor.
I don't know.
I thought I was just forgetful.
I thought it was the stress.
But I was already sick.
After several examinations,
we have found that
You have early-onset Alzheimer's Disease.
What?
Now, in your case,
there might be rapid deterioration
because you have
a high level of education.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
I'm still fixing this
- It's a camera!
- Camera.
- Camcorder.
- Camcorder, yeah.
You old man.
The things you mentioned,
when you forget
the words for certain things,
forgetting certain events
Those are symptoms.
You were absent yesterday.
We missed you.
Did we have class yesterday?
You're so funny. Why are you in uniform?
Why else? For work.
It's Sunday.
Oh, love.
Happy birthday!
See? If I didn't point it out,
you wouldn't greet me.
Our electric bill's not paid yet?
This is a disconnection notice.
Love, I promise I'll do it.
Why is this still here?
Is it still not paid?
Am I supposed to do that?
Have you seen my phone?
You're looking for your phone
instead of going to my birthday dinner.
- Oh, fuck! That's right.
- Yeah?
On November 26, 1896
Actually, I don't know what's happening.
I don't know why I forget to go to class.
I don't know what's happening.
I don't know what's happening, ma'am.
Have you gotten a checkup?
Tinola chicken mami, your favorite!
Why is there no chicken?
You ditched Fel!
They went out of their way
to help you get a job,
and you didn't even show up, Aki?
That's been on your calender
for two months, remember?
What's wrong with you?
Another symptom is forgetting
the purpose of certain objects.
Love, I need to tell you something.
You didn't pick me up.
I couldn't pick you up because
I didn't know how to start the car.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
You have impulsive purchases.
Out of control spending.
These are all behaviors and symptoms
of someone with Alzheimer's Disease.
This is expensive.
We can't even pay for the house.
And you're buying all this shit?
I started
Drinking.
Alcohol.
So that somehow,
I could feel better.
Come on. I'll send you to rehab,
since you're an alcoholic!
I'm not an alcoholic!
Then what the fuck is this?
She thought I was an alcoholic.
Forget about all this, okay?
Forget about me, Aki.
Let's go.
Pia!
I didn't tell her.
I don't know.
All I know is
something was wrong.
Where am I?
What is this place?
I didn't want to drag her into it.
I
I didn't want to be a burden to her.
Until
She left.
I never wanted this. To forget.
But she forgot about me.
She forgot about everything
we shared together.
But I can't blame her.
She didn't know.
It must be tiring to take care of me.
But if she knew,
I know she wouldn't leave me.
She loves me.
She loves me so much.
We didn't know
when it started. It all happened so fast.
And that was it.
All his memories were gone.
Maybe he got it from my brother,
Aki's father.
In Aki's case, I am very sorry to tell you
that in the late stage of Alzheimer's,
in this situation,
he's going to need
round-the-clock assistance and care.
Doc, won't he be able
to remember anything?
Sometimes, he would be able
to remember some things.
For example,
he could remember his old hobbies.
Like
Like playing a certain musical instrument.
But in his case right now,
it will be hard for him
to remember things.
Maybe there are treatments abroad?
Just to help him remember even a little.
Even just to recognize me.
I'm sorry. There's none.
What will you do, dear?
You still have work in Singapore.
I think I'm going
to stay here for a while, Ma.
For Aki.
Sis, do you want us
to take care of Aki for a bit?
As much as possible,
I want to be the one taking care of him
That's why
I'm going to resign
from my job in Singapore.
Dear.
Stay strong, okay?
Take good care of Aki.
We're here for you.
Come on. This will be quick.
- No.
- Come on.
Look at me.
- No.
- This will be quick.
- Take off your clothes.
- I don't want to.
Shit.
Oh no! Oh my God!
What do I do?
- Oh no! Pia!
- Rekrek!
- What happened?
- Rekrek, I'm sorry.
I was trying to give Aki a bath.
I forgot.
Are you hurt?
N-no.
Aki!
Oh no!
Aki, what did you do?
You're so clumsy.
Rek, can you clean that up?
There's more over there.
Aki.
Oh! Oh!
Oh no! Aki. Aki.
Aki, come here. I'll give you a bath.
- Come on, so you can get cleaned up.
- No.
- I don't want to.
- Come on. Please, Aki.
- I'll help you.
- I said I don't want to!
- What?
- Hey!
Who are you, miss?
What are you doing in my house?
I'm not kidding. I'll call the police!
Who are you?
Who are you?
Aki. Aki, it's me, Pia.
I don't know you!
Who are you?
Rekrek, who is this?
Get out! I'm not kidding!
Please, I don't want any trouble!
Bro, calm down. Calm down.
This is trespassing, miss.
I'm not kidding.
This is trespassing!
Calm down. Get in there, bro.
Stay there, okay?
Go on, Rek. I'll take care of this.
Aki, here. Come on.
Just a little more.
Come on.
Aki, come on.
Aki, it's not good to waste food, okay?
Why do you keep telling me to eat?
You're so annoying.
You're like a broken record.
Look, you made a mess.
Pia, here. For cleaning the wound.
Thank you.
I'll clean this up.
Thank you.
Get him a new bowl.
Rek, can you keep an eye on Aki?
I think someone's at the door.
Carlo.
- Carlo.
- Hey.
- Have some juice.
- Thank you.
Sure.
Oh?
What happened?
- Are you okay?
- Ah, this?
It's nothing. I slipped
Yeah, I'm so clumsy.
Ah, anyway.
I wanted to tell you
that I resigned
from the company in Singapore.
I'm going to start my own
Singapore-based digital agency.
Wow!
That's good. Congratulations.
Thank you.
I thought of offering you a position
in the company.
I want to make you VP.
Uh
- Carlo, it's just that...
- Also, aside from being VP,
I want you to make a shareholder.
We'll be business partners, in a sense.
We'll both run the company.
And I'll give you a relocation package.
Uh, allowance.
Company car!
I'll even pay for your place there.
- And then Maybe we could...
- Carlo.
Thank you.
Thank you for the offer.
But I don't think I can accept it.
But this is your dream, remember?
You were always
telling me about this back then.
Honestly
I thought that would make me happy.
But it turns out
that it's not what I need.
- Pia, please?
- Carlo.
Thank you so much for the offer,
but I have to respectfully decline.
Pia, please?
I don't know why, but
I still love you.
Carlo, I'm sorry.
What the hell?
You need to finish your food. Calm down.
What are you doing?
One last bite.
No!
Leave me alone!
There you go.
Press this one.
Someone told me
that I used to be good
at playing the piano.
You were so talented.
The best of all.
That's why I fell in love with you.
Go on. Try it. Keep practicing.
You'll get it again.
Aki, don't move.
We don't want an accident.
There. Very good.
I have a love message for you.
Hmm? Alright.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
- That's sweet.
- I will never forget you.
- Hm? Promise?
- Promise.
Don't even try.
That's our dream house.
We said that's where we'll make babies.
That's where I'll cook breakfast for you.
Hello! Welcome to our future.
Aki,
look.
Love you!
Aki.
Good.
Chew. Chew it.
Chew. Mm-mmm.
Chew. Chew.
Show your face.
There! You're so silly. Come on.
Let's eat.
He does stuff like this.
- Feed me, love.
- Alright, I'll feed you.
This is our dream wedding.
Come here, Aki.
Over here.
Stay here. Just for a bit.
Trust me.
Father.
I take thee,
Aki Orteza,
to be my lawfully-wedded husband.
From this day forward,
for richer or poorer
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish,
according to God's holy ordinance.
Cheers to the bride and groom!
- Yay!
- Yay!
- Congratulations!
- More, more.
- Yay!
- Yay!
We even planned out the date.
I had my wedding gown fitted.
And I've seen you in your barong.
We even wanted to book
Casa Salome because it's pretty there.
Oh, are you hungry?
Do you want to eat?
The Filipino food here is good.
They have lumpia, chop suey
And our favorite!
Tinola chicken mami.
You know,
you used to copy the dishes here,
so you can cook them for me.
But, of course, I prefer your recipe.
The baby.
Babe.
Okay, there.
There, see.
This is where we used to sit
when we went on dates.
This is our favorite.
Come on.
Taste it.
You might be hungry.
Careful. Ah.
Open your mouth.
Have some soup.
Wow, very good. Isn't it good?
Love.
Mmm.
You know what?
It tastes better when you feed it to me.
So good.
There, good job.
Watch your step.
You proposed to me here, you know?
Over there! Come.
There! And you had a piano.
And you played "How Did You Know?".
And we danced.
Just like this. Hold me here.
We danced like this.
And then,
after we danced,
you said to me
Love.
My beloved.
Mister.
Ever since I met you
I felt that you were the one.
When you came into my life,
I never felt loneliness ever again.
I promise you,
you will never be alone.
For as long as I live, I will serve you
love you.
No matter what.
I will never forget you.
I love you, Aki.
Damn, Aki.
It's true what they say, isn't it?
I guess it's true, Aki.
That we only realize someone's worth
when they're gone.
I want to apologize to you.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, Aki.
I shouldn't have left.
Aki?
Hey.
Aki, why are you crying? Hm?
Are you okay?
Are you sad?
Why are you sad?
I don't know.
It's just so hard. It's so sad.
Is that possible?
Huh?
You're crying, but you don't know why?
That's silly.
Don't cry, okay?
Aki, stop crying. I'm here.
It's so hard.
You know, Aki? Me too.
I'm sad, too.
Because if I knew then
that it was the last time,
I would have embraced you so, so tight.
If I knew that was the last time
I would never have left you.
Now, here we are.
You don't even know who I am.
I know you.
Hm? You know me?
I know you.
Are you my student?
No! You don't know me.
It's okay.
It's okay, hm?
I love you so much, Aki.
I love you so much,
I will never leave you.
Alright. That's enough.
Stop crying.
Stop crying, okay?
Come on.
Let me see. Smile, smile.
Give me a smile.
I'll always be here for you, okay?
Aki?
Aki?
Aki?
I've missed that,
the song "How Did You Know"?.
Play it to me,
as if you're proposing to me.
Someone told me
that I used to be good
at playing the piano.
You were so good.
That's why I fell for you.
