Love or Money (2021) Movie Script
1
Once in our lives,
we tried reaching for the stars.
Dreamt of the
impossible and failed.
But this place makes
the impossible, possible.
Dubai.
This place is a paradise
for the people who dream.
Just like me!
All the best
things in life are here.
Everything!
And everything is
within your reach.
I even reached them myself.
This is just me.
The things I thought I could
never have are now mine.
Here, I was never
deprived of chances.
Jobs, connections,
money, people.
Some really reached their dreams.
While others are just pretending.
Someone once asked
me what's my dream.
I think the right question is
where will your dream take you.
Me? It led me here.
I hope Dubai makes
my dream come true.
I hope it leads me to you.
I hope to see her again.
Hey!
Yes!
You look good!
JS Prom?
Does it suit me?
I just came from a side job,
didn't get a chance to change.
Stop explaining,
I know you're feeling the suit.
Come on, we're
running late for work.
I know, it's my last day today.
You're such a show-off,
this is why I got laid off.
Come on!
You should treat
me for my last day,
you're staying.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll
find another job in no time.
Just keep applying.
No one ever replies.
Jhim is offering me a job.
I'm really considering it.
Don't be stupid.
Don't work for
him, it's too risky.
It's really hard
when you're in between jobs here.
Come on, give me
something for my last day!
Treat me since
you're staying, don't be
Hey! I've been talking to you.
What's distracting you?
Here, serve it to table four.
This is the last time
we'll be going home together.
When I'm gone,
you'll be by yourself.
Sir, I'll go ahead.
It's nice working here with you.
Yeah.
Thanks, kabayan.
Thank you.
Is this really goodbye?
Well
Are you heading straight back
to the Philippines?
Or are you going to find
something else here?
Calm down!
I will
not calm down! Where is she?
Calm down!
You're making a scene out
of nothing! Calm down! Stop!
I'm not going
to stop until I see her!
Excuse me, guys.
Where is she?
When I see her, I swear to God,
I'm going to have her deported.
What happened?
She will rot in hell!
Please keep it down.
I'm not going to keep it down.
You need to keep it down
or I'm going to call the police.
Leon! Hey! Leon!
Sorry!
Angel?
Angel!
Whoa!
Angel?
Angel!
I don't even know what's in you.
I just know that night,
you woke something inside of me.
And then I
just realized that, shit.
It's been a while
since I dreamt of something.
It feels good to have a dream
that you want to happen.
A dream that you
want to have in life.
And that's you, Angel.
You are my dream.
Good evening, ma'am.
Table for?
I'm just looking for someone.
Ma'am, you're with someone?
Babe!
I didn't know you
were back from Singapore!
Since when?
Waiter, my bill.
Okay, sir.
Stop.
He's not going anywhere.
I am asking you. When did you come
back? Don't make a scene here.
Make a scene? Why?
What do you want me to do?
Celebrate?
Throw a welcome home
party for you? Why?
You're a jackass!
Hold her!
This is why I've been sending you
messages and you never replied.
Because you're already here!
I've been working hard as a
promo girl to follow you there!
Then this?
You're back and I didn't know?
Are you cheating?
Not here.
Don't touch me!
Do you have another woman?
Tell me! You have another woman?
Tell me the truth!
Babe? Babe?
Is that Angel?
Maybe we should talk to her?
Ma'am, please stop.
Don't make a scene here.
Don't ruin a family.
I'm not a mistress!
I'm the girlfriend!
I am the girlfriend, but he's
having a child with someone else!
Wow! You're so cool!
Ma'am!
You're good at taking care...
Ah!
Ah!
What happened?
Babe, my water just broke.
I'm about to give birth!
I'm going to be a father!
Don't panic!
Relax! Babe!
What should I do?
Run to the hospital!
Take her to the hospital!
Hospital!
Your wife!
My wife!
I'll handle this.
Let's help them.
Let me. To the car!
What?
Which car?
Here you go.
Get in.
Almost there.
Where?
Careful.
Careful now.
Shouting is not helpful.
Get in.
Slow down.
Calm down.
Careful.
Here.
I'm going to be a father.
Take care.
Careful.
Help in the back
Sir, go!
I'm going to be a father.
Sir!
Here.
Sir, go!
I'm going to be a father!
Everything's okay.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Come on!
I told you, let's drink!
I'm so stupid!
Angel Dela Cerna.
You are stupid! A fool!
Angel Dela Cerna.
Leon.
I wish I were
as brave as your name.
Lion. Rawr!
Have a seat. Here.
Thank you, ma'am.
You know what, ma'am,
you were so brave back there.
You were hurt
and yet you still gave way.
How about you rub it in?
I'm sorry.
You know
I only have a simple dream.
To love and to be loved back.
Have a family
But why is it so damn hard?
Oh, well
Look at me.
Who in their right mind
would want to marry me?
Me.
Damn you!
The hell?
You're ready? You
really have a ring? Hmm!
If I give this to you,
will you stop crying?
Angel Dela Cerna
I'll be your BF.
Will you be my GF?
Why, are you rich?
No.
For now,
this is the
only thing I can offer.
Okay, fine! Yes!
Yes?
Yes.
We're official?
I said, yes!
Oh, you're my GF now!
Yes?
Angel
An angel
who came down from heaven.
You're like a recurring dream.
Always coming back,
but also always leaving.
I can only dream of you,
but can never have you.
GF!
BF!
It's you!
You look so different!
Come on,
let's go! I need more exercise.
Wait, I think this is yours.
Yes, but
Wear it.
No, no.
Come on, wear it.
You might hurt your feet
walking barefoot around here.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I will marry you!
Of course! Super!
I will marry
the one and only you!
Yes, thank you, Lord! Thank you!
Angel
Yes! Wow!
Congratulations!
I thought you were single!
You didn't even mention
this girlfriend you have.
Hi, I'm
I'm Juniver.
Your best man.
Angel.
Angel, I've never seen you.
Huh.
Angel?
What is it this time?
Why?
You proposed, so I said yes!
Yay, you're my fianc now!
Woo-hoo!
What proposal?
What does this mean?
You're that foreigner's mistress?
Is that why his wife was mad?
Hey! You're so
judgmental! Watch your mouth.
Let's go eat somewhere else.
I think you have
a lot of questions for me.
Perfect!
I'm really hungry.
You're not coming.
Let's go, Leon.
Wait. Come on!
Where are we going?
We'll just eat!
Takeout food for me!
Well, it's important
to be with good people here.
You will be
successful in no time!
You know, connections!
You need
to start from the bottom.
When I was starting,
I was a receptionist.
Then I became an
executive assistant.
Of course, my boss was
really impressed with me.
I gave it my all, so
he invested in me.
Ma'am
why did you leave without a word?
I looked for you.
I messaged you on Facebook,
you never replied.
My life was a mess at that time.
I couldn't think straight.
You know, I was broken.
But joking aside,
what we had was special to me.
I was so sad that night.
But because of
you, I became happy.
Thank you.
Here. I never
planned to steal this from you.
I just didn't know
how to return it and face you.
Okay, what's your next question?
I'm sure you're so eager to know
why that woman made a scene.
Was it because of me?
Am I a mistress?
Well, Mr. Boy, first,
I just want to apologize to you.
I'm sorry
if I dragged you into this.
But technically,
I'm not his mistress.
They've broken up, but
that woman is still in denial.
The divorce is still pushing
through, so I can be a legal wife!
Yuck!
You're with that old man?
Does he even love you?
Love? Does it matter?
What matters is that
I am expensive now.
Enough about me.
Let's talk about you.
How are you? How long
have you been here in Dubai?
It seems like
you're really doing good here!
Look at you in a tuxedo!
Does it suit me?
Of course.
This is not mine.
I just
borrowed it from my friend.
I do side jobs in events.
Well, sometimes.
But I'm a waiter here. I've
just been here for six months.
In fairness, you're consistent!
Of course, I need to work hard.
To save money.
If it's just really me, I'm
already settled in the province.
Simple life. Peaceful.
It's for my dad, that's
why I'm here. Oh, come on!
Stop with the simple
life dreams, Leon!
You're now here in Dubai!
You can dream bigger!
Stop being in survival mode!
Tell me,
what really is your dream?
The thing that you
really, really want.
I want to
have a quiet and simple family.
And I want to have a restaurant,
I'm really into cooking.
That's great! You
can do that here!
I know someone who was a cook in a
small-time restaurant here in Dubai.
But now, he's a chef in Atlantis!
That's Atlantis!
You just have
to work hard, be patient.
Look at me! Who would've thought?
CEO!
See?
I'll give you my card.
In case you
need anything, just call me.
I have
Filipino business partners.
Tita Faye, she used to work
in advertising back in Manila.
She's the brains of the company
because I lack in that department.
What if you are what I need?
Oh, please.
Not me.
I'm already taken.
But if you were not taken,
would I have a chance?
Leon, it was just one night.
Move on already.
It was not just one night.
To me, it was more than that.
Let's drink!
No, I can't drink.
I asked for a salary
advance last week.
There might be
nothing left of my salary.
You know what?
I could work in a call center
so I would have double income.
I don't want advance
payment until I'm broke again.
Sir, stop!
Hey! Leon! Let's go!
We're running late!
I know there's a reason
why we saw each other again.
Big round of applause for Leon!
Congratulations!
I'm so happy for you, Leon!
This is why
you don't want to try Tinder.
You could've just told me!
That's nothing!
This is your fault!
You're so gossipy.
Imagine! After three
years, you saw each other again,
despite how big Dubai is?
Oh, my God! If it's meant to be,
it's really meant to be!
So? When is the
wedding? I heard there's a ring!
What wedding? It's complicated!
Wow! Complicated!
Don't play with us.
Ker, thank you for this.
We're not teenagers anymore!
I hear wedding bells!
Wedding bells?
So what happened?
Nothing!
I get all
fussy. This is so romantic!
This is destiny!
I hope everyone acts
the same way. Getting a ring.
I'm just fixing some issues.
Come on, let's go.
You're not coming?
No, no. I'm okay.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Jhim never learns.
People are getting caught.
Bro.
Here.
The answer to your problem.
"Angel Flores Dela Cerna?"
"Owner, CEO Deluxe Events"?
Don't worry, I'll apply with you.
Nice one! Thank
you, bro. Thank you!
This is really the answer!
You're going to see her again!
Control your woman.
I'm so excited!
Where have you been?
Papang!
I've been trying to call you.
It's late!
No, uh
Look! Look! My phone, it's dead!
Died. No more battery. It's killed!
Here, do you see?
Next time, don't let it die.
Yes, of course. No.
Where have you been?
Who is that guy
who's proposing to you, huh?
He's acting. We're acting.
To, you know, the
problem, to escape it.
He's just a Filipino
helping a fellow Filipino.
No, no serious.
Do you want tea?
I'll make you tea!
No! No!
I'll give you a massage, come on.
No. It's okay! It's okay!
My love.
It's just that I got
so jealous with your Filipino.
No, no, don't be.
Just a little bit.
Don't be jealous. He's nothing.
No one.
Make sure, okay?
Yes.
I don't know what I can do
if I catch you with
another man, huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh!
Yes.
I am
coming now! Yes.
I must go home.
Babe! Leon! Hurry
up! I'm so excited to meet her!
This is it! Destiny
reporting, live!
Hey, it's too early
for your noisy girlfriend.
What are you wearing?
It looks cheap! Try to be cool!
What's the problem
with my clothes?
And we're not going to ask for her
hand, we're going to ask for a job!
Why are you even coming?
Well, of course, I
want a side job too!
You smell like the streets!
Here, so you smell tastier!
There! Smells good!
Now she will fall in love.
You're out of your mind!
Hello, Dad?
Hello?
We're running late.
Hello?
Yes?
We're leaving
now to apply for a job.
Wait, son, I'll call them.
Allen! James!
Dad!
Come on!
Claudine! Claudine! Red!
Where are you headed?
We're going to apply for a job.
Bro, we got your package.
Thank you so much for the
shoes! It really fits me well!
Bro, thanks for the
watch and bag. Looks so good!
Dad, here are Juniver and Cat!
Hello, Dad!
Hi, Dad! How are you?
Hello, lovebirds!
It seems
like Cat is losing weight!
Of course, as thin as paper!
Okay, Dad.
Dad, we have to go.
We're running late
and our bus is almost here.
Okay, son, be safe there.
Yes, Dad.
Take care too. I love you!
Bye, Dad!
Bye, Dad!
Bye!
It was just a one-night
stand anyway!
So why do
you have to give him a job?
And his friends are joining too?
Tita, I'll just help him
because I owe him one.
And they will be
a big help to us.
It's like serendipity.
You're
really bound to meet again.
Stop feeding her nonsense!
You know how
mad Enrique can get, right?
What then?
Everything that you have now?
Goodbye!
Goodbye, Deluxe Events!
Goodbye, Ferrari!
Goodbye to your house
and lots in the Philippines!
Goodbye, Dubai!
How much?
Best price, sir!
Bro, did you forget me?
I came here last
month and bought everything!
Yeah, how many pieces, sir?
Forty-five for ten pieces.
No problem. I'll
give you this price.
Okay, ten pieces.
Okay.
Boss, ten pieces. Thank you.
Welcome.
Ma'am Angel, done deal.
Excuse me, I have to go now. I
need to buy things for my mom.
Wait, you're going alone? Why
don't you bring Leon with you?
His haggling skills
might help you get discounts.
Leon!
Ma'am?
Go with Ma'am Angel.
She's going shopping.
Sure, ma'am. I'll
go with you after I finish this.
Hello, Auntie?
Wait, Patrick
wants to talk to you.
Sis?
I have good news for you!
I'm accepted in La Salle!
Wow! I'm going to
have an engineer in the future!
But, sis, you promised
you'd get me a condo
near the university.
Yes, that's why
you should start finding one.
That's what I'm talking about!
You are really the best!
Have you seen the new Yeezy?
Yeah, okay, I'll try to find
one here. Hey, me too!
Whatever that Yeezy
might be, I want one!
Of course, Auntie. Yes.
Wait, here's your mom.
Hello?
Yes, Mom? I'll be sending...
Angel.
Come home, please?
For my birthday?
Mom, I can't. I'm too busy here.
So many things to do.
But I'll be sending money to you.
And actually, I
am now in the gold market!
I'll buy jewelry and I
will send it to you in no time.
I have
to go now. Bye.
Let me have it.
Let's eat.
Ma'am, it seems like
they want you to come home.
I can't, I'm doing
a lot of things here.
I'm busy.
Ma'am, if I was rich
and I had as much money as you,
I'm sure I'd always be home.
Unpractical. I'll just
send the money.
Ma'am, it's still
different when you go home.
Amidst the chaos and
noise, it's still a happy place
compared to here
where your work is your life.
Not really.
Maybe you have a happy family,
that's why you want to be home.
You're lucky because you are one
of the few with a happy family.
What's trending now
is having a toxic family.
That's why
ours is always at the top.
Well, it's always been that way.
My mom got
pregnant early and got stood up.
Then she got pregnant again
and got stood up again.
So, she got into drugs,
where she found her true love.
She only stopped
because she had a stroke.
I am literally a teenage mom.
I did
everything to raise my family.
There were times I ran
short of money for tuition fees.
There were times
I had to bail my mom out of jail
because of drugs.
So, I had
to find ways to survive.
That's why this
life that I have now
I'm totally fine with it.
There are moments that I
need to look away to endure,
but at least I'm done worrying
about money.
Bye!
Hi, Ma'am Angel!
Ruth!
Do you have new collections?
Be careful with the balloons.
Yes, I'll handle it.
It might fall and fly over.
Angel is coming.
Really? okay, okay.
Cat!
Give me your perfume!
Oh!
Here!
Bathe with it!
Gargle it! There you go!
Yummy! Whoo!
I'm ready.
Sir Enrique! Hello, welcome!
Hello, thank you very much.
Let's go!
All right, let's go.
Have some cocktails,
enjoy yourself.
We are going
to enjoy ourselves, okay?
Yes, yes.
There we are, thank you.
Ah, shoes, I suppose, huh?
Yes.
Oh, Papang, this is Leon.
You remember the
Filipino who helped me?
The You remember?
Thank you for helping
my girlfriend, huh?
No, sir.
Is it not enough?
No, you take it.
He's just the shy type.
No, sir.
I didn't do it for the
money. It's okay.
Well, okay.
For the job, eh?
Remove your shoes!
I am going
back to Spain tomorrow, huh?
I will finally settle
things with my wife.
Finally!
You know, that looks
really soothing, man.
You're one lucky guy, Enrique.
I am, I am.
I think I'll get myself
one of these Filipinas.
Yeah.
They, uh They take
good care of people.
And they look real beautiful.
Look at her, she's beautiful.
Welcome, everybody!
Welcome aboard!
And now, I present
to you our host, Harry!
Thank you, thank you!
It's your turn!
Thank you so much, thank you.
Guys! Thank you so much
for coming to my divorce party.
Look at me, I'm really free!
But it wouldn't have been
possible without you, Angel.
Uh, no.
Come!
No, no, no.
Come, Angel. Come on.
Come on. I want
you to make a toast.
Uh, no need.
Yes, yes.
Because now I'm free, and
soon you're going to be chained
to my friend here, Enrique.
So, have you got
any final words, last words?
Uh, congratulations!
Uh, you are now single,
you will be now single,
and ready to mingle!
To happiness!
Cheers!
Appreciate it. Thank you.
Ooh.
Enjoy yourselves!
There's more drinks
and there's food downstairs.
What was that?
You sounded stupid!
Everyone was looking at me!
Leon, don't.
I'm sorry.
Don't talk to my
friends again, okay?
You know your place.
You are mine.
Mine!
Yes.
I told you, I don't
like other men
meddling in my business!
It's very aching, please stop.
It's aching me. Sir, sir.
Don't fight at her. She's pain!
Don't shout at her!
Who are you, huh?
You are nothing more
than a server here.
You have no right to
speak to me this way!
But, sir Hey, hey, hey,
stop. Come on, come on.
Hey, Enrique.
Come on, let's go up.
Come on, you party, you have fun!
You drink! You drink
some more, please?
Please? I will handle him!
What was that?
Why are you prying?
He was hurting you,
I can't just look away!
That's none of your business!
He's doing that
because he loves me!
He's just jealous!
Love?
He doesn't even respect you,
how is that love?
You shouldn't care!
But I do!
You shouldn't!
That's not a part of your job!
Angel, what happened to you?
You were so brave before, now
you just let him disrespect you?
I know what I'm
doing, I'm not stupid.
I know what I give, and I
know what I'm getting in return.
Okay? Money.
What is it?
A good life for my family.
Respect from the people
who used to belittle me.
Respect? Respect for you?
Yes!
For you or for your money?
You know what, Leon?
If you want to be poor
all your life, then so be it!
I'll even be happy for you.
But you don't get to judge me
if I want to be rich.
Ma'am,
I may be poor, but I
will never sell myself to anyone.
You know what's wrong with you?
You don't even know what true love means
because all you care about is money.
So what? I'm happy!
I'm rich! I can buy
whatever I want!
But you can never buy love!
Who even told you
that I want love?
Who are you to judge
my choices in life?
Who do you think you are?
What are you to me?
Nothing. You are
just my employee.
I am paying you to work for me.
I am your boss,
so you should know your place.
You cannot go beyond that.
Money. What we need is money.
Ma'am, money can be earned,
it can be worked hard for.
But love rarely happens.
Money will never hurt you, will
never leave you for someone else.
Because when money becomes yours,
then it's just yours.
But you can't marry money.
Money can buy happiness.
Money can't buy love.
You're really
not backing down, huh?
A man who's willing to fight
for love. Wow.
Son?
Son? You froze?
Dad, I'm still here.
Son, you look really tired.
Go get some rest.
Okay. Take care.
FOR THE THINGS I'VE SAID
Uh Ma'am, I'm done.
Okay.
Sorry.
Take it.
Thank
you. I'll go ahead.
Thank you.
Ma'am Angel!
I told you to set aside your
feelings, what a waste of a job!
Don't worry.
I'm sure I'll find another job.
So sad.
Are you resigning?
Such a waste.
I hoped your story with Ma'am
Angel would have a happy ending.
I really thought it was destiny.
Let it go.
If that's what she wants
with her life, then so be it.
I got a text from Ma'am Faye.
Oh, no. Ma'am Angel
got into an accident. Huh?
I need to go, she gave
me her door passcode
so I can get the documents
she needs to sign.
She said she can't even walk.
Poor Ma'am Angel,
she even lives alone.
What did she say?
Is she okay? Where is she now?
I just told you
to set aside your feelings!
You know what I think?
The story is not yet finished.
Whatever.
Why? Where
are you? Aren't you working?
I No, I didn't go to work.
The doctor told me, uh,
I have to rest my foot.
It's very aching. Very aching?
Okay.
Um, hey, I'm alone here.
I don't have food, I'm hungry.
Just get food delivered to you.
Anyway, I have a meeting.
I have to go. Bye.
Hello?
Oh, come on!
Juniver!
Is that you?
Sorry.
I was not able to
sign the documents.
I need to read them again.
Can you go
back tomorrow? I'm sorry.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Have you eaten?
I'm fine.
Your kitchen?
There. Why do you ask?
Hey!
Hey!
Leon!
I'm fine. What are you going
to do? Are you going to cook?
You don't have to.
I'm not even hungry,
I'll get delivery!
Angel, you're so stubborn.
I told you not to stand!
I'm fine, I don't need help.
I'm really fine. I
don't need...
Stubborn! Don't stand up!
What's your problem?
You have always been so stubborn!
What's with the lifting?
Stay there.
Don't move, you
will hurt your foot.
I'll be with you until you
can stand on your own again.
Ma'am, this will just be quick.
Ma'am.
Mmm. So good.
Here, eat up.
Why are you not eating?
Do you want me to feed you?
I don't feel like eating.
Okay then, just get some rest.
Oh, no need.
I can handle myself!
I'll go ahead.
I'm so hungry!
So good!
Miss Angel?
I'll be in charge of
you today as per Leon's request.
He still has a shift
at the restaurant, so
Whatever you need,
I'm just here.
Isn't he the sweetest?
ALL GONE!
Sir.
Ma'am.
I can manage.
I said, I can manage.
Ma'am, let's go.
I'm fine.
Ma'am, please sit.
No need.
You'll have a hard time.
It's okay, I can do this.
Ma'am.
I said, I'm fine.
Fine, I'll let you be.
No, Tita, I'm already walking.
Yes, wait for me, I'll be there.
Okay, bye!
Whoo! Feels good!
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
I'm okay.
Are you sure?
Okay, then. It's so
fun to ride the bike.
Whoo!
Wait!
Give me a ride.
Thank you.
There's also a
biking place in Manila.
Padyaking.
Padyaking.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Very much.
This is fun.
Holding hands while padyaking.
Do you always do that, padyaking?
Whenever I don't have work at the
restaurant, this is my side job.
No way.
Yeah. I've tried every side job
you can think of.
Like what?
Sometimes, I work as an escort boy
when I have nothing else to do,
just to earn extra money.
Can I call you my boy?
Yes, ma'am!
Thank you for cooking for me.
And I'm sorry
for the things I've said.
Hey! Look at Leon and Ma'am Angel,
they're riding a bike together!
Wow, VIP!
I'm jealous! Let's
ride a bike too, babe!
As long as you'll drive.
Whatever!
Just kidding.
You know what,
Tita Faye, if there's no Enrique,
those two really go
well together, right?
But there's an Enrique!
You'll never be ready for me!
Ah.
Oh, I'll put an end to this!
This is it!
Ma'am Angel?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my good Lord!
An exposed body!
Where is Leon?
He's not yet undressed...
I mean, he's still at work.
Are you expecting him?
What? No!
I'm about to get
dressed, I fell asleep.
I'm always sleepy lately!
I understand.
Juniver!
Oh, there's Leon!
Thanks, bro. okay,
just take care of this.
I'll go to the office.
Take care.
Why are you late?
I exchanged my shift at the
restaurant so I could be with you.
Okay, join us in our meeting.
He will join us?
Look at him, he's so haggard!
Dirty!
That is what
we requested, right?
Yes.
Hey, is that Leon?
Ma'am.
Why did you stand up?
My butt ate my panties.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Um, so, that's the view,
and this is the food.
If you're happy,
we can sign the contract, yes?
Yes?
Better.
Thank you.
I'll go ahead.
Uh... okay.
Ma'am.
Yes?
Why are your eyes closed?
I'm sleepy.
Are you expecting something else?
Expecting what?
A kiss from me.
No, I'm just really sleepy.
Sir, this is the
location we're suggesting
and my associate, Angel,
she will be presenting to you
the proposal.
Are you ready?
Wait, I'm ready too!
Just a second, ma'am.
Okay.
So, sir,
we were thinking
the proposal,
it will happen right here.
When she walks in,
you will be standing right here.
There will be music
and then there will be fireworks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Bam!
And then the picture of your girlfriend
will be flashed on the building.
And then she will
be very touched.
She will say yes to you. Right?
How How you're
thinking right now?
Yes, extravagant.
But do you think
she'll appreciate that?
Of course, she will!
It's every girl's... every...
It's my dream!
How about you?
You are a guy, what do you think?
Ah! Sir, he's not
part of the team.
He's actually our driver!
It's okay, I want to
hear your thoughts.
Uh, sir, for me,
I don't like bongga.
Flashy! Flashy!
I like, uh, simple
but meaningful.
Sir, where do you
meet your girlfriend?
Here! It was here!
I saw her in a beautiful dress.
And, oh, boy, she was the most
beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Love at first sight?
Yes!
I know that, sir.
It happens to me.
Uh, sir.
This place is very
special to you.
You should do it here.
Come let's show him.
Okay, we will pretend.
Sir, hold your loved one's hand.
You need to hold
the hand of the girl you love.
And then tell her
that someday
these hands will be held
and will never be let go.
And all the pain and suffering...
Will be gone?
Will be shared.
Love is not magic.
The only thing
it can promise is that,
you'll have someone
to share your troubles with.
In joy and sorrow,
in pain and happiness,
in nothingness and richness
you will always have someone
who will accept you,
no matter what
you've been through.
And who will love you
even on days that you feel
like you don't deserve love.
That's what I want with you
for the rest of my life.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
It's so romantic!
The birds agree!
I love it!
I felt that real! Oh,
my God, I love it!
You will be able to walk again.
Everything's okay.
Try to stand up.
Oh! Leon,
now that Angel's foot is healed,
you can now finally
file your resignation.
Ouch!
Ouch!
Are you okay?
She's acting.
Your X-ray result is okay.
Your foot is not swollen anymore.
So, you should walk it out, so it
can go back to how it used to be.
Doesn't it need a cast?
No, no need.
Does it hurt?
It hurts.
I can't even stand
up, how can I reach
Psst. Angel, Enrique's calling.
Papang?
Yes, sorry.
Yeah, hello!
I'm sure you know this illusion
has an expiration, right?
So, whatever you have right now
should stop.
Just like before.
Why do you think
she left you three years ago?
Angel?
Did you see a
woman? Fair-skinned?
Yes, she left
already. Is that your girlfriend?
I know you're not stupid.
And I also know that you
can't give her this kind of life.
So, if you really love her
don't
let all of this
be taken away from her.
From her family.
Mima.
This is exactly
where I first saw you.
And right then and there,
I knew we were meant to be,
and I knew we would spend
the rest of our lives together.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
Congratulations! Whoo!
Give those to them!
Yes.
Take more pictures!
Where is Leon?
He should be here
because this is his concept.
Ma'am, he doesn't want
to work here anymore.
Hey, Angel.
Attend to the client.
Yes, ma'am, the client.
Yes, madam.
Angel
Enrique is about to come back!
This is what
you need to do. Relax, chill.
Get some beauty sleep!
Get a Brazilian wax!
Baby beaver!
Right?
Picture, picture, picture. Here.
Good morning, Leon.
Still not in the mood.
He's been like that
since yesterday.
Ma'am Angel?
Hi!
God! Come in.
Ma'am Angel!
Guys, this is Ma'am Angel,
our boss at the events company.
Leon! It's Ma'am Angel! Leon!
This is too much, ma'am.
Those are just supplies
that you can also send home.
Ooh!
A thank you gift
for taking care of me.
Aww.
This is a lot!
Get away from me.
Thank you, see this.
Here, bro.
Leon.
Hey, are you really resigning?
We have another event next week.
Hey.
What are you doing here, Angel?
Nothing, I just brought some
Can we stop playing games?
I don't know.
I guess I just wanted to see you.
I miss you.
What do you really want?
I don't know, I'm confused.
How about you? I
really don't know.
You don't know?
Well, I know.
I know that I love you so much.
But I also know
that I am not what you need.
You need someone else so you can live,
that's why I'm walking away from you.
You don't have to walk away.
Angel, if I don't
stop being with you,
I can never stop loving you.
I know that I will just get hurt,
we will just get hurt,
because what we have
doesn't have a future.
So, please, let's just stop this.
Maybe there really
is a reason why we met again.
I was okay before.
I was okay when
you were not around,
but now
I don't even understand why,
all of a sudden,
it feels like I can't live
without you anymore.
Damn it.
Damn it, I love you.
Shit, I love you.
It feels good to finally say it.
Leon, are you sure?
I'm not easy to love.
Your life will never
be the same again.
If we choose each other,
we need to fight for it
because I'm sure that Enrique
won't make this easy for us.
Can you do it?
Can you really love me?
Because I'm ready to jump if you
tell me you're doing this with me.
Hello! Welcome!
Come and enjoy! Ma'am, sir!
Hi! Welcome!
Hello!
Welcome.
Is everything okay?
I love you.
Thank you for this award.
You know, being recognized
as an outstanding Filipina,
is just the cherry on top.
Filipinos in Dubai are changing.
We are now
respected and recognized.
We are now achievers
who work hard for our dreams.
But one thing will never change.
We should not forget
where we came from.
Awards like this feel
good, but this is meaningless
if you don't have
someone to share it with.
People often ask
me, how did I make it?
What is my story?
HR director, awards, glitz,
glamour, success.
But I'm telling you, the
moment I step inside my house
Psst.
it all goes away.
I am a mother
Let me handle this.
A wife, a daughter.
I am still the same farm girl
from La Union.
Enrique.
I remember him
from the yacht.
I thought I told you to fire him.
Can I explain?
I'll talk to him.
No, no, no. Please.
Who is that man?
Are you fucking him?
It's not like that.
Do you think I'm stupid?
No.
You're going behind my back
with someone like that?
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
My divorce is final.
I can marry you now.
How dare you!
You can't do this to me, Angel!
This is all you've ever wanted.
I love him.
Please let me go.
Please.
You will never be
anything without me.
You will never be happy!
Get out!
Get out!
I warned you!
I told you!
My God, Angel!
You are so selfish!
Did you even think
about your family?
About us?
Your employees?
How about our families?
We are all depending
on this company!
Tita, we will go
through this together.
We will help each other.
How?
You owe Enrique AED 500,000!
You're massively in debt!
6.5 million pesos?
Where in
the world will you get that?
Angel and I will
work on it together.
I will never leave her.
And from here on,
I will share all her burdens.
What are you, teenagers?
You're too old for this!
You know Enrique
very well, Angel.
You know the price
of this foolishness!
Angel, where should I put this?
Put it here on the side.
Love?
GF?
BF!
GF!
Look, I bought you something.
It's cheap, but I
hope you'll like it.
This is too much!
I was thinking you could wear it.
It's so nice! I
can really wear it.
That feels great.
Thank you!
I will wear this
on my online selling gig.
I will sell bags. There they are.
What do you think?
I'll get big commissions
from that. That's a lot.
GF, I have another
surprise for you.
Take a look.
Read it.
What is this?
My loan got approved! AED 15,000!
Wow!
And not just that.
What else?
I talked to my boss
about me wanting to be a chef.
He said he'll refer me
if he finds any opening.
Someday, we will be
able to finally go home for good.
We will start your dream
of having a restaurant.
Simple life, simple family.
Simple dreams for the two of us.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, Leon, I need
to speak with you for a minute.
Can you please follow me?
Just comment "mine," sis!
First to comment
will get this item.
There
you go Who is this?
Maki De Vera is
the first commenter!
Sis, take a screenshot!
One, two, three, four.
Four, three, two, one.
Tugs, tugs, tugs, tugs!
Okay! Thank you all very much!
That's it for tonight,
until next time!
Thank you, miners! Bye!
What is this?
You went to the police station?
Yes.
I got a call about Enrique.
He is filing a case against me.
This is about the events company.
It's because we were
business partners
and I just left without
any settlement.
So, now, I'm banned from
employment until I pay the fine.
How much is it?
AED 50,000.
Um, I need
to settle it in three months.
The rest of the
debt, I will just pay gradually.
He'll decide if he
wants to settle it in court.
Or just
have a private settlement.
Well, that's just how it is.
We've
expected this anyway, right?
I'm sure Enrique
is not stopping anytime soon,
but it's okay.
We'll fight for this.
Leon.
Hey.
Are you okay?
I just lost my job, Angel.
That's fine.
You can find another one.
GF.
What if we just
go home to the Philippines?
Maybe our luck is
not here in Dubai.
What's there for us back home?
It's harder to earn money there.
And I have a travel ban.
I cannot travel back home.
You know what, you
will get another job.
And I will settle all my debts.
Trust me.
We will get through this.
Okay.
If that's what you want.
We can do this.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I had problems
in remitting money.
But don't worry,
I will send it right away.
Should you need more,
I will find another way.
This will get us
through, son. It's okay.
What's important
is that you're safe there.
Don't worry about me, Dad.
I am very much okay here.
Okay.
Get some rest.
Okay, take care too.
Bro, there's an easy way
to solve your problems.
I have a big transaction coming.
Easy-peasy, give the
cargo and then take the money.
Only one big pour of courage is
what it'll take to fix your lives.
Yes, I know it's scary
because this is not our country,
but this is what we need.
For the likes of us,
we only have two choices.
Either you suffer
or you take action.
Think about it.
Maybe I need to tell Patrick that
he can't go to La Salle anymore.
I can't afford it anymore.
Leon, what if
What if I talk to Enrique?
Ask him to settle this,
I just need to try.
You know, maybe he considers...
No.
The two of us will
raise money together
to pay your debt.
Babe.
Leave me alone, asshole!
Babe
Don't touch me or I'll hurt you!
Just hear me out, please.
Babe, hey!
Stop! We're done!
So that's why you
don't have Facebook!
I should've asked for a CENOMAR!
I trusted you too much!
Babe, I didn't think that
What? That you'll get caught?
That you have a wife and children
back in the Philippines!
That you made me a mistress!
I've been honest to you! Asshole!
Sorry.
Did you know of this?
Asshole.
I have a plan.
Do what's right, Juniver.
Go home and fix
this mess you made!
I don't want to see
your face ever again.
Leave!
Babe, wait. Babe!
Bro.
Why did you do that?
I didn't I didn't plan this.
I didn't plan to hurt anybody,
I didn't plan to cheat on anyone.
I came here to
Dubai for my family.
But I never expected that being
alone here would be this sad.
You work your ass off, day and night,
just so you can send money back home.
I started questioning
if this was all there was for me.
Is this really going to
be my life? A cash cow?
Then I met Cat.
I found happiness again.
But she's right, I need to fix this
mess. I need to fix it. Damn it!
But even if I want to start over,
I don't know how. I
don't have money.
I'll go home without anything.
I don't even have savings.
What about the people
depending on me?
How can we survive? I
can't just let them suffer, bro.
I am a father.
Goddamn...
It's so expensive
to love, damn it.
Hey, kabayan, how are
you? Come in. No. Thank you.
Ruth!
Hey, Ma'am Angel.
How've you been?
I'm good. Um
Come in.
No, no, it's fine.
I just need to try because
What happened? Why?
Maybe I can sell these to you?
Maybe you can help me?
Ma'am, we
don't usually buy old gold.
Maybe you can just try because
I bought most of these from you.
And I am a loyal customer, right?
Yes, ma'am, I know that.
Okay, ma'am, let me just check.
Give me a minute.
Bring these too.
Okay, ma'am, wait
for me, I'll be back.
Thank you, miners!
Okay, sir.
Thank you, bye!
I will go to the
interview next week.
Yes, sir!
Okay!
I'll write down.
Hello?
Angel! Your mother!
She had a heart attack!
What?
We already called an ambulance!
Patrick! Get my bag!
Damn it, Patrick! My bag!
What are you doing? Get the keys!
We're heading to the hospital,
send money right away!
Yes! Yes!
Hello? Hello?
Annette, what the... Don't die!
Angel, why? What happened?
Why? What happened?
Angel?
Damn it. What's this?
What is this?
Is this a prank?
Are we in a soap opera?
Why?
Damn it, what else?
What else? What else? What else?
I need to go home,
I need to go home!
Angel.
Where is my stuff?
Calm down.
I need to go home to the
Philippines! My mom is dying!
She needs me.
My mom needs me, she's
been asking me to come home.
I should've gone home!
Leon, I don't know what to do,
please help me.
We need money, please help me.
Help me, Leon.
My mom
My mom!
Are you sure about this?
Yes, bro. Angel needs help badly.
She needs the money
for her mom's medication.
She needs to go home.
Jhim.
Yes, Auntie. I
already sent money.
Yes, okay.
Leon.
Pack your things,
bring everything. Why?
We're going home.
How?
It doesn't matter. I found a way.
What's important now is,
you pack your things.
I'll pick you up later.
Okay.
Let's go?
Are you really not going?
Damn it, I'm nervous.
You can do this. Just call
me when you get the money.
Go, go, go.
Hey, how about you
work on your first day?
Start working.
Sorry.
Hey, what happened?
Where are you going?
I'm going home.
Leon and I are going home.
Huh? How?
How about your debt?
He found a way. He got a loan.
What way?
I saw him and
Juniver talking to Jhim.
I think they're here.
Be safe.
The number you're
trying to reach is unavailable.
Damn it, Leon!
Answer the phone!
The number
you're trying to reach
Let's go to Jhim! Come on!
Let's go!
Just relax.
Jhim!
Jhim!
What did you ask
Leon and Juniver to do?
Easy! They're on their way.
What do you mean? What if
something happened to them?
Why is it my fault?
Is it me who wants to go home?
Am I the one in debt?
I'm just helping!
Leon is doing this for you! What
they're going to do is simple.
Oh, here they are! Hello?
Hello, Jhim.
Leon, don't do this.
Listen to me, please.
You don't have to do this.
Angel, I told you
I will do anything for you.
This is the answer
to your problem.
No, please. Please come back.
That is not important anymore,
just come back!
Let's go!
Run! Run!
Leon?
Leon, what's
happening? What's happening?
Answer me! What's that?
Hello? Hello? Damn it!
Jhim, we're coming with you!
Don't follow me if you
don't want to get involved!
Juniver!
Juniver! Juniver!
Juniver, where's Leon?
I don't know,
I'm sorry. He's still there.
What do you
mean? You were together!
Yes, the police arrived,
I was scared, I panicked.
I'm sorry, please tell Leon
when you see him that I'm sorry.
You were scared?
Juniver, what were you thinking?
That's Leon!
I didn't know
what to do, Cat! I didn't know!
Please not now, just let me be!
You're an asshole!
So, that's just it?
Please, not now.
I'll just call you!
Okay, this
looks all right. Sort it out.
Fix it.
Just sign here.
I'm running out of time now. Let's
just fix this old thing, all right?
Will do that immediately.
Enough now.
Okay? Later.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing here?
Sir
Angel needs your help.
Please help her.
How dare you come here
and ask for my help?
Sir, her mother is in the
hospital. She needs money.
She needs to go
home to the Philippines.
Sir, I'm begging you.
Sir, remove the case. Sir,
please. Sir, please help her.
No! That woman betrayed me!
Both of you! You played me!
You made me look like a fool!
Sir. I'm begging you.
Sir, please help her.
Sir, I'm willing to do
everything. Just help her, please.
I'm begging you, sir.
Please help us, sir.
Sir. Please, sir.
Please have mercy.
Please help Angel, sir.
Sir, she needs your help.
Please, I'm begging you, sir.
All the money, all the jewelry,
all the expensive things
I have given to her
are waiting for her in my room.
Give her back to me.
You don't deserve her!
You are nothing!
Akhmed, I've forgotten something.
Turn around.
What the hell?
Get him!
Sir.
Come here!
Sir, sir, sir!
Come on! Get him!
Sir! Sir! I'm sorry, sir!
Sir, please forgive me, sir!
Sorry!
Give it to him!
Sir! Sir Enrique!
Take him!
Sir, please!
Sir! Sir, please forgive me, sir!
I'll let you know
if Leon gets admitted here.
Yes, please.
I've been
calling the police stations.
I also went there asking for
him, but they also heard nothing.
So, please, let me know.
Don't worry, I'll update you.
Hello?
Your boyfriend is here.
The son of a bitch
was trying to steal from me.
Enrique, please.
Don't do anything.
If you don't come here now
I swear, you'll
never see him again.
Leon!
Leon!
Leon! Leon! Leon! Damn it, Leon!
Wake up! Leon!
I'm sorry.
Leon!
Damn it, answer me!
Leon. Leon.
Leon!
Angel.
Angel
Don't do this.
I'm not done yet.
Come back to me now
or maybe I will bury
him in the desert.
Don't do this, please.
Please, I beg you.
The choice is yours, Angel.
No, no.
I don't need that.
He did let you come here.
This is it.
Is this really it?
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you too, a lot.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Make all your dreams
happen because
that is my dream for you.
Without you by my side?
Yes.
How will it be for you?
I'm okay.
I'm okay that
once in my life,
I was loved by someone like you.
I've been through a lot.
I can survive this.
I'm okay because I know
you're going home safe and alive.
I can't do this.
You can.
You can.
I love you so much.
I can't do this.
Yes, you can.
Angel, I can't.
Go on, Leon. Go on.
Go, you might miss your flight.
Be safe here.
I love you so much.
Go on.
Walk away and don't look back.
Hey, put the food
that I will deliver here.
Okay, brother.
Hello?
Leon!
Hey! Sexy!
Okay, fine!
My friend is bringing
the gifts I sent for you.
You should've not bothered.
I told you to save money there.
Aren't you coming home?
Maybe in December. I'll be
back with my new boyfriend!
But this time,
I made sure he has a CENOMAR!
Good for you.
So, are you still
visiting Juniver in jail?
No.
I've let go already.
I've forgiven him too.
I'm done with my
lunch break, I need to go now.
Uh, Cat
What?
How is
How is
Mmm.
I haven't heard from her yet.
Stop with the issues!
I hope you
enjoy my gift from Dubai!
I'm sorry I wasn't
able to wrap it.
I'm so excited!
Take care.
Keep in touch.
Okay, bye!
Hey! I
told you, I'll cook for you.
Someday, we will be able
to finally go home for good.
We will start your
dream of having a restaurant.
Simple life, simple family.
Simple dreams for the two of us.
You should name him after me.
If not Leon, maybe
we can name him Tiger.
He'll be naughty like you!
How about Puma?
Puma. I like it!
Hurry up, so I can
start the delivery.
Angel?
What are you doing here?
I just brought
Cat's gifts for you.
Who are you with?
Enrique?
No, no.
We already broke up.
He eventually left me
because I went crazy.
How about you?
Congratulations.
You've made your dreams happen.
I'll go ahead.
I'll just leave the gifts.
Brother!
Bro, the deliveries are ready.
My sister, Agnes.
Her husband, James.
Hi, ma'am.
Hello!
This is Angel.
I was with her in Dubai.
Angel? You gave
her Mom's ring, right?
Bro, I'll handle the deliveries.
Take care, love.
So
Can it still be us?
Of course.
Once in our lives,
we tried reaching for the stars.
Dreamt of the
impossible and failed.
But this place makes
the impossible, possible.
Dubai.
This place is a paradise
for the people who dream.
Just like me!
All the best
things in life are here.
Everything!
And everything is
within your reach.
I even reached them myself.
This is just me.
The things I thought I could
never have are now mine.
Here, I was never
deprived of chances.
Jobs, connections,
money, people.
Some really reached their dreams.
While others are just pretending.
Someone once asked
me what's my dream.
I think the right question is
where will your dream take you.
Me? It led me here.
I hope Dubai makes
my dream come true.
I hope it leads me to you.
I hope to see her again.
Hey!
Yes!
You look good!
JS Prom?
Does it suit me?
I just came from a side job,
didn't get a chance to change.
Stop explaining,
I know you're feeling the suit.
Come on, we're
running late for work.
I know, it's my last day today.
You're such a show-off,
this is why I got laid off.
Come on!
You should treat
me for my last day,
you're staying.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll
find another job in no time.
Just keep applying.
No one ever replies.
Jhim is offering me a job.
I'm really considering it.
Don't be stupid.
Don't work for
him, it's too risky.
It's really hard
when you're in between jobs here.
Come on, give me
something for my last day!
Treat me since
you're staying, don't be
Hey! I've been talking to you.
What's distracting you?
Here, serve it to table four.
This is the last time
we'll be going home together.
When I'm gone,
you'll be by yourself.
Sir, I'll go ahead.
It's nice working here with you.
Yeah.
Thanks, kabayan.
Thank you.
Is this really goodbye?
Well
Are you heading straight back
to the Philippines?
Or are you going to find
something else here?
Calm down!
I will
not calm down! Where is she?
Calm down!
You're making a scene out
of nothing! Calm down! Stop!
I'm not going
to stop until I see her!
Excuse me, guys.
Where is she?
When I see her, I swear to God,
I'm going to have her deported.
What happened?
She will rot in hell!
Please keep it down.
I'm not going to keep it down.
You need to keep it down
or I'm going to call the police.
Leon! Hey! Leon!
Sorry!
Angel?
Angel!
Whoa!
Angel?
Angel!
I don't even know what's in you.
I just know that night,
you woke something inside of me.
And then I
just realized that, shit.
It's been a while
since I dreamt of something.
It feels good to have a dream
that you want to happen.
A dream that you
want to have in life.
And that's you, Angel.
You are my dream.
Good evening, ma'am.
Table for?
I'm just looking for someone.
Ma'am, you're with someone?
Babe!
I didn't know you
were back from Singapore!
Since when?
Waiter, my bill.
Okay, sir.
Stop.
He's not going anywhere.
I am asking you. When did you come
back? Don't make a scene here.
Make a scene? Why?
What do you want me to do?
Celebrate?
Throw a welcome home
party for you? Why?
You're a jackass!
Hold her!
This is why I've been sending you
messages and you never replied.
Because you're already here!
I've been working hard as a
promo girl to follow you there!
Then this?
You're back and I didn't know?
Are you cheating?
Not here.
Don't touch me!
Do you have another woman?
Tell me! You have another woman?
Tell me the truth!
Babe? Babe?
Is that Angel?
Maybe we should talk to her?
Ma'am, please stop.
Don't make a scene here.
Don't ruin a family.
I'm not a mistress!
I'm the girlfriend!
I am the girlfriend, but he's
having a child with someone else!
Wow! You're so cool!
Ma'am!
You're good at taking care...
Ah!
Ah!
What happened?
Babe, my water just broke.
I'm about to give birth!
I'm going to be a father!
Don't panic!
Relax! Babe!
What should I do?
Run to the hospital!
Take her to the hospital!
Hospital!
Your wife!
My wife!
I'll handle this.
Let's help them.
Let me. To the car!
What?
Which car?
Here you go.
Get in.
Almost there.
Where?
Careful.
Careful now.
Shouting is not helpful.
Get in.
Slow down.
Calm down.
Careful.
Here.
I'm going to be a father.
Take care.
Careful.
Help in the back
Sir, go!
I'm going to be a father.
Sir!
Here.
Sir, go!
I'm going to be a father!
Everything's okay.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Come on!
I told you, let's drink!
I'm so stupid!
Angel Dela Cerna.
You are stupid! A fool!
Angel Dela Cerna.
Leon.
I wish I were
as brave as your name.
Lion. Rawr!
Have a seat. Here.
Thank you, ma'am.
You know what, ma'am,
you were so brave back there.
You were hurt
and yet you still gave way.
How about you rub it in?
I'm sorry.
You know
I only have a simple dream.
To love and to be loved back.
Have a family
But why is it so damn hard?
Oh, well
Look at me.
Who in their right mind
would want to marry me?
Me.
Damn you!
The hell?
You're ready? You
really have a ring? Hmm!
If I give this to you,
will you stop crying?
Angel Dela Cerna
I'll be your BF.
Will you be my GF?
Why, are you rich?
No.
For now,
this is the
only thing I can offer.
Okay, fine! Yes!
Yes?
Yes.
We're official?
I said, yes!
Oh, you're my GF now!
Yes?
Angel
An angel
who came down from heaven.
You're like a recurring dream.
Always coming back,
but also always leaving.
I can only dream of you,
but can never have you.
GF!
BF!
It's you!
You look so different!
Come on,
let's go! I need more exercise.
Wait, I think this is yours.
Yes, but
Wear it.
No, no.
Come on, wear it.
You might hurt your feet
walking barefoot around here.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I will marry you!
Of course! Super!
I will marry
the one and only you!
Yes, thank you, Lord! Thank you!
Angel
Yes! Wow!
Congratulations!
I thought you were single!
You didn't even mention
this girlfriend you have.
Hi, I'm
I'm Juniver.
Your best man.
Angel.
Angel, I've never seen you.
Huh.
Angel?
What is it this time?
Why?
You proposed, so I said yes!
Yay, you're my fianc now!
Woo-hoo!
What proposal?
What does this mean?
You're that foreigner's mistress?
Is that why his wife was mad?
Hey! You're so
judgmental! Watch your mouth.
Let's go eat somewhere else.
I think you have
a lot of questions for me.
Perfect!
I'm really hungry.
You're not coming.
Let's go, Leon.
Wait. Come on!
Where are we going?
We'll just eat!
Takeout food for me!
Well, it's important
to be with good people here.
You will be
successful in no time!
You know, connections!
You need
to start from the bottom.
When I was starting,
I was a receptionist.
Then I became an
executive assistant.
Of course, my boss was
really impressed with me.
I gave it my all, so
he invested in me.
Ma'am
why did you leave without a word?
I looked for you.
I messaged you on Facebook,
you never replied.
My life was a mess at that time.
I couldn't think straight.
You know, I was broken.
But joking aside,
what we had was special to me.
I was so sad that night.
But because of
you, I became happy.
Thank you.
Here. I never
planned to steal this from you.
I just didn't know
how to return it and face you.
Okay, what's your next question?
I'm sure you're so eager to know
why that woman made a scene.
Was it because of me?
Am I a mistress?
Well, Mr. Boy, first,
I just want to apologize to you.
I'm sorry
if I dragged you into this.
But technically,
I'm not his mistress.
They've broken up, but
that woman is still in denial.
The divorce is still pushing
through, so I can be a legal wife!
Yuck!
You're with that old man?
Does he even love you?
Love? Does it matter?
What matters is that
I am expensive now.
Enough about me.
Let's talk about you.
How are you? How long
have you been here in Dubai?
It seems like
you're really doing good here!
Look at you in a tuxedo!
Does it suit me?
Of course.
This is not mine.
I just
borrowed it from my friend.
I do side jobs in events.
Well, sometimes.
But I'm a waiter here. I've
just been here for six months.
In fairness, you're consistent!
Of course, I need to work hard.
To save money.
If it's just really me, I'm
already settled in the province.
Simple life. Peaceful.
It's for my dad, that's
why I'm here. Oh, come on!
Stop with the simple
life dreams, Leon!
You're now here in Dubai!
You can dream bigger!
Stop being in survival mode!
Tell me,
what really is your dream?
The thing that you
really, really want.
I want to
have a quiet and simple family.
And I want to have a restaurant,
I'm really into cooking.
That's great! You
can do that here!
I know someone who was a cook in a
small-time restaurant here in Dubai.
But now, he's a chef in Atlantis!
That's Atlantis!
You just have
to work hard, be patient.
Look at me! Who would've thought?
CEO!
See?
I'll give you my card.
In case you
need anything, just call me.
I have
Filipino business partners.
Tita Faye, she used to work
in advertising back in Manila.
She's the brains of the company
because I lack in that department.
What if you are what I need?
Oh, please.
Not me.
I'm already taken.
But if you were not taken,
would I have a chance?
Leon, it was just one night.
Move on already.
It was not just one night.
To me, it was more than that.
Let's drink!
No, I can't drink.
I asked for a salary
advance last week.
There might be
nothing left of my salary.
You know what?
I could work in a call center
so I would have double income.
I don't want advance
payment until I'm broke again.
Sir, stop!
Hey! Leon! Let's go!
We're running late!
I know there's a reason
why we saw each other again.
Big round of applause for Leon!
Congratulations!
I'm so happy for you, Leon!
This is why
you don't want to try Tinder.
You could've just told me!
That's nothing!
This is your fault!
You're so gossipy.
Imagine! After three
years, you saw each other again,
despite how big Dubai is?
Oh, my God! If it's meant to be,
it's really meant to be!
So? When is the
wedding? I heard there's a ring!
What wedding? It's complicated!
Wow! Complicated!
Don't play with us.
Ker, thank you for this.
We're not teenagers anymore!
I hear wedding bells!
Wedding bells?
So what happened?
Nothing!
I get all
fussy. This is so romantic!
This is destiny!
I hope everyone acts
the same way. Getting a ring.
I'm just fixing some issues.
Come on, let's go.
You're not coming?
No, no. I'm okay.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Jhim never learns.
People are getting caught.
Bro.
Here.
The answer to your problem.
"Angel Flores Dela Cerna?"
"Owner, CEO Deluxe Events"?
Don't worry, I'll apply with you.
Nice one! Thank
you, bro. Thank you!
This is really the answer!
You're going to see her again!
Control your woman.
I'm so excited!
Where have you been?
Papang!
I've been trying to call you.
It's late!
No, uh
Look! Look! My phone, it's dead!
Died. No more battery. It's killed!
Here, do you see?
Next time, don't let it die.
Yes, of course. No.
Where have you been?
Who is that guy
who's proposing to you, huh?
He's acting. We're acting.
To, you know, the
problem, to escape it.
He's just a Filipino
helping a fellow Filipino.
No, no serious.
Do you want tea?
I'll make you tea!
No! No!
I'll give you a massage, come on.
No. It's okay! It's okay!
My love.
It's just that I got
so jealous with your Filipino.
No, no, don't be.
Just a little bit.
Don't be jealous. He's nothing.
No one.
Make sure, okay?
Yes.
I don't know what I can do
if I catch you with
another man, huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh!
Yes.
I am
coming now! Yes.
I must go home.
Babe! Leon! Hurry
up! I'm so excited to meet her!
This is it! Destiny
reporting, live!
Hey, it's too early
for your noisy girlfriend.
What are you wearing?
It looks cheap! Try to be cool!
What's the problem
with my clothes?
And we're not going to ask for her
hand, we're going to ask for a job!
Why are you even coming?
Well, of course, I
want a side job too!
You smell like the streets!
Here, so you smell tastier!
There! Smells good!
Now she will fall in love.
You're out of your mind!
Hello, Dad?
Hello?
We're running late.
Hello?
Yes?
We're leaving
now to apply for a job.
Wait, son, I'll call them.
Allen! James!
Dad!
Come on!
Claudine! Claudine! Red!
Where are you headed?
We're going to apply for a job.
Bro, we got your package.
Thank you so much for the
shoes! It really fits me well!
Bro, thanks for the
watch and bag. Looks so good!
Dad, here are Juniver and Cat!
Hello, Dad!
Hi, Dad! How are you?
Hello, lovebirds!
It seems
like Cat is losing weight!
Of course, as thin as paper!
Okay, Dad.
Dad, we have to go.
We're running late
and our bus is almost here.
Okay, son, be safe there.
Yes, Dad.
Take care too. I love you!
Bye, Dad!
Bye, Dad!
Bye!
It was just a one-night
stand anyway!
So why do
you have to give him a job?
And his friends are joining too?
Tita, I'll just help him
because I owe him one.
And they will be
a big help to us.
It's like serendipity.
You're
really bound to meet again.
Stop feeding her nonsense!
You know how
mad Enrique can get, right?
What then?
Everything that you have now?
Goodbye!
Goodbye, Deluxe Events!
Goodbye, Ferrari!
Goodbye to your house
and lots in the Philippines!
Goodbye, Dubai!
How much?
Best price, sir!
Bro, did you forget me?
I came here last
month and bought everything!
Yeah, how many pieces, sir?
Forty-five for ten pieces.
No problem. I'll
give you this price.
Okay, ten pieces.
Okay.
Boss, ten pieces. Thank you.
Welcome.
Ma'am Angel, done deal.
Excuse me, I have to go now. I
need to buy things for my mom.
Wait, you're going alone? Why
don't you bring Leon with you?
His haggling skills
might help you get discounts.
Leon!
Ma'am?
Go with Ma'am Angel.
She's going shopping.
Sure, ma'am. I'll
go with you after I finish this.
Hello, Auntie?
Wait, Patrick
wants to talk to you.
Sis?
I have good news for you!
I'm accepted in La Salle!
Wow! I'm going to
have an engineer in the future!
But, sis, you promised
you'd get me a condo
near the university.
Yes, that's why
you should start finding one.
That's what I'm talking about!
You are really the best!
Have you seen the new Yeezy?
Yeah, okay, I'll try to find
one here. Hey, me too!
Whatever that Yeezy
might be, I want one!
Of course, Auntie. Yes.
Wait, here's your mom.
Hello?
Yes, Mom? I'll be sending...
Angel.
Come home, please?
For my birthday?
Mom, I can't. I'm too busy here.
So many things to do.
But I'll be sending money to you.
And actually, I
am now in the gold market!
I'll buy jewelry and I
will send it to you in no time.
I have
to go now. Bye.
Let me have it.
Let's eat.
Ma'am, it seems like
they want you to come home.
I can't, I'm doing
a lot of things here.
I'm busy.
Ma'am, if I was rich
and I had as much money as you,
I'm sure I'd always be home.
Unpractical. I'll just
send the money.
Ma'am, it's still
different when you go home.
Amidst the chaos and
noise, it's still a happy place
compared to here
where your work is your life.
Not really.
Maybe you have a happy family,
that's why you want to be home.
You're lucky because you are one
of the few with a happy family.
What's trending now
is having a toxic family.
That's why
ours is always at the top.
Well, it's always been that way.
My mom got
pregnant early and got stood up.
Then she got pregnant again
and got stood up again.
So, she got into drugs,
where she found her true love.
She only stopped
because she had a stroke.
I am literally a teenage mom.
I did
everything to raise my family.
There were times I ran
short of money for tuition fees.
There were times
I had to bail my mom out of jail
because of drugs.
So, I had
to find ways to survive.
That's why this
life that I have now
I'm totally fine with it.
There are moments that I
need to look away to endure,
but at least I'm done worrying
about money.
Bye!
Hi, Ma'am Angel!
Ruth!
Do you have new collections?
Be careful with the balloons.
Yes, I'll handle it.
It might fall and fly over.
Angel is coming.
Really? okay, okay.
Cat!
Give me your perfume!
Oh!
Here!
Bathe with it!
Gargle it! There you go!
Yummy! Whoo!
I'm ready.
Sir Enrique! Hello, welcome!
Hello, thank you very much.
Let's go!
All right, let's go.
Have some cocktails,
enjoy yourself.
We are going
to enjoy ourselves, okay?
Yes, yes.
There we are, thank you.
Ah, shoes, I suppose, huh?
Yes.
Oh, Papang, this is Leon.
You remember the
Filipino who helped me?
The You remember?
Thank you for helping
my girlfriend, huh?
No, sir.
Is it not enough?
No, you take it.
He's just the shy type.
No, sir.
I didn't do it for the
money. It's okay.
Well, okay.
For the job, eh?
Remove your shoes!
I am going
back to Spain tomorrow, huh?
I will finally settle
things with my wife.
Finally!
You know, that looks
really soothing, man.
You're one lucky guy, Enrique.
I am, I am.
I think I'll get myself
one of these Filipinas.
Yeah.
They, uh They take
good care of people.
And they look real beautiful.
Look at her, she's beautiful.
Welcome, everybody!
Welcome aboard!
And now, I present
to you our host, Harry!
Thank you, thank you!
It's your turn!
Thank you so much, thank you.
Guys! Thank you so much
for coming to my divorce party.
Look at me, I'm really free!
But it wouldn't have been
possible without you, Angel.
Uh, no.
Come!
No, no, no.
Come, Angel. Come on.
Come on. I want
you to make a toast.
Uh, no need.
Yes, yes.
Because now I'm free, and
soon you're going to be chained
to my friend here, Enrique.
So, have you got
any final words, last words?
Uh, congratulations!
Uh, you are now single,
you will be now single,
and ready to mingle!
To happiness!
Cheers!
Appreciate it. Thank you.
Ooh.
Enjoy yourselves!
There's more drinks
and there's food downstairs.
What was that?
You sounded stupid!
Everyone was looking at me!
Leon, don't.
I'm sorry.
Don't talk to my
friends again, okay?
You know your place.
You are mine.
Mine!
Yes.
I told you, I don't
like other men
meddling in my business!
It's very aching, please stop.
It's aching me. Sir, sir.
Don't fight at her. She's pain!
Don't shout at her!
Who are you, huh?
You are nothing more
than a server here.
You have no right to
speak to me this way!
But, sir Hey, hey, hey,
stop. Come on, come on.
Hey, Enrique.
Come on, let's go up.
Come on, you party, you have fun!
You drink! You drink
some more, please?
Please? I will handle him!
What was that?
Why are you prying?
He was hurting you,
I can't just look away!
That's none of your business!
He's doing that
because he loves me!
He's just jealous!
Love?
He doesn't even respect you,
how is that love?
You shouldn't care!
But I do!
You shouldn't!
That's not a part of your job!
Angel, what happened to you?
You were so brave before, now
you just let him disrespect you?
I know what I'm
doing, I'm not stupid.
I know what I give, and I
know what I'm getting in return.
Okay? Money.
What is it?
A good life for my family.
Respect from the people
who used to belittle me.
Respect? Respect for you?
Yes!
For you or for your money?
You know what, Leon?
If you want to be poor
all your life, then so be it!
I'll even be happy for you.
But you don't get to judge me
if I want to be rich.
Ma'am,
I may be poor, but I
will never sell myself to anyone.
You know what's wrong with you?
You don't even know what true love means
because all you care about is money.
So what? I'm happy!
I'm rich! I can buy
whatever I want!
But you can never buy love!
Who even told you
that I want love?
Who are you to judge
my choices in life?
Who do you think you are?
What are you to me?
Nothing. You are
just my employee.
I am paying you to work for me.
I am your boss,
so you should know your place.
You cannot go beyond that.
Money. What we need is money.
Ma'am, money can be earned,
it can be worked hard for.
But love rarely happens.
Money will never hurt you, will
never leave you for someone else.
Because when money becomes yours,
then it's just yours.
But you can't marry money.
Money can buy happiness.
Money can't buy love.
You're really
not backing down, huh?
A man who's willing to fight
for love. Wow.
Son?
Son? You froze?
Dad, I'm still here.
Son, you look really tired.
Go get some rest.
Okay. Take care.
FOR THE THINGS I'VE SAID
Uh Ma'am, I'm done.
Okay.
Sorry.
Take it.
Thank
you. I'll go ahead.
Thank you.
Ma'am Angel!
I told you to set aside your
feelings, what a waste of a job!
Don't worry.
I'm sure I'll find another job.
So sad.
Are you resigning?
Such a waste.
I hoped your story with Ma'am
Angel would have a happy ending.
I really thought it was destiny.
Let it go.
If that's what she wants
with her life, then so be it.
I got a text from Ma'am Faye.
Oh, no. Ma'am Angel
got into an accident. Huh?
I need to go, she gave
me her door passcode
so I can get the documents
she needs to sign.
She said she can't even walk.
Poor Ma'am Angel,
she even lives alone.
What did she say?
Is she okay? Where is she now?
I just told you
to set aside your feelings!
You know what I think?
The story is not yet finished.
Whatever.
Why? Where
are you? Aren't you working?
I No, I didn't go to work.
The doctor told me, uh,
I have to rest my foot.
It's very aching. Very aching?
Okay.
Um, hey, I'm alone here.
I don't have food, I'm hungry.
Just get food delivered to you.
Anyway, I have a meeting.
I have to go. Bye.
Hello?
Oh, come on!
Juniver!
Is that you?
Sorry.
I was not able to
sign the documents.
I need to read them again.
Can you go
back tomorrow? I'm sorry.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Have you eaten?
I'm fine.
Your kitchen?
There. Why do you ask?
Hey!
Hey!
Leon!
I'm fine. What are you going
to do? Are you going to cook?
You don't have to.
I'm not even hungry,
I'll get delivery!
Angel, you're so stubborn.
I told you not to stand!
I'm fine, I don't need help.
I'm really fine. I
don't need...
Stubborn! Don't stand up!
What's your problem?
You have always been so stubborn!
What's with the lifting?
Stay there.
Don't move, you
will hurt your foot.
I'll be with you until you
can stand on your own again.
Ma'am, this will just be quick.
Ma'am.
Mmm. So good.
Here, eat up.
Why are you not eating?
Do you want me to feed you?
I don't feel like eating.
Okay then, just get some rest.
Oh, no need.
I can handle myself!
I'll go ahead.
I'm so hungry!
So good!
Miss Angel?
I'll be in charge of
you today as per Leon's request.
He still has a shift
at the restaurant, so
Whatever you need,
I'm just here.
Isn't he the sweetest?
ALL GONE!
Sir.
Ma'am.
I can manage.
I said, I can manage.
Ma'am, let's go.
I'm fine.
Ma'am, please sit.
No need.
You'll have a hard time.
It's okay, I can do this.
Ma'am.
I said, I'm fine.
Fine, I'll let you be.
No, Tita, I'm already walking.
Yes, wait for me, I'll be there.
Okay, bye!
Whoo! Feels good!
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
I'm okay.
Are you sure?
Okay, then. It's so
fun to ride the bike.
Whoo!
Wait!
Give me a ride.
Thank you.
There's also a
biking place in Manila.
Padyaking.
Padyaking.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Very much.
This is fun.
Holding hands while padyaking.
Do you always do that, padyaking?
Whenever I don't have work at the
restaurant, this is my side job.
No way.
Yeah. I've tried every side job
you can think of.
Like what?
Sometimes, I work as an escort boy
when I have nothing else to do,
just to earn extra money.
Can I call you my boy?
Yes, ma'am!
Thank you for cooking for me.
And I'm sorry
for the things I've said.
Hey! Look at Leon and Ma'am Angel,
they're riding a bike together!
Wow, VIP!
I'm jealous! Let's
ride a bike too, babe!
As long as you'll drive.
Whatever!
Just kidding.
You know what,
Tita Faye, if there's no Enrique,
those two really go
well together, right?
But there's an Enrique!
You'll never be ready for me!
Ah.
Oh, I'll put an end to this!
This is it!
Ma'am Angel?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my good Lord!
An exposed body!
Where is Leon?
He's not yet undressed...
I mean, he's still at work.
Are you expecting him?
What? No!
I'm about to get
dressed, I fell asleep.
I'm always sleepy lately!
I understand.
Juniver!
Oh, there's Leon!
Thanks, bro. okay,
just take care of this.
I'll go to the office.
Take care.
Why are you late?
I exchanged my shift at the
restaurant so I could be with you.
Okay, join us in our meeting.
He will join us?
Look at him, he's so haggard!
Dirty!
That is what
we requested, right?
Yes.
Hey, is that Leon?
Ma'am.
Why did you stand up?
My butt ate my panties.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Um, so, that's the view,
and this is the food.
If you're happy,
we can sign the contract, yes?
Yes?
Better.
Thank you.
I'll go ahead.
Uh... okay.
Ma'am.
Yes?
Why are your eyes closed?
I'm sleepy.
Are you expecting something else?
Expecting what?
A kiss from me.
No, I'm just really sleepy.
Sir, this is the
location we're suggesting
and my associate, Angel,
she will be presenting to you
the proposal.
Are you ready?
Wait, I'm ready too!
Just a second, ma'am.
Okay.
So, sir,
we were thinking
the proposal,
it will happen right here.
When she walks in,
you will be standing right here.
There will be music
and then there will be fireworks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Bam!
And then the picture of your girlfriend
will be flashed on the building.
And then she will
be very touched.
She will say yes to you. Right?
How How you're
thinking right now?
Yes, extravagant.
But do you think
she'll appreciate that?
Of course, she will!
It's every girl's... every...
It's my dream!
How about you?
You are a guy, what do you think?
Ah! Sir, he's not
part of the team.
He's actually our driver!
It's okay, I want to
hear your thoughts.
Uh, sir, for me,
I don't like bongga.
Flashy! Flashy!
I like, uh, simple
but meaningful.
Sir, where do you
meet your girlfriend?
Here! It was here!
I saw her in a beautiful dress.
And, oh, boy, she was the most
beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Love at first sight?
Yes!
I know that, sir.
It happens to me.
Uh, sir.
This place is very
special to you.
You should do it here.
Come let's show him.
Okay, we will pretend.
Sir, hold your loved one's hand.
You need to hold
the hand of the girl you love.
And then tell her
that someday
these hands will be held
and will never be let go.
And all the pain and suffering...
Will be gone?
Will be shared.
Love is not magic.
The only thing
it can promise is that,
you'll have someone
to share your troubles with.
In joy and sorrow,
in pain and happiness,
in nothingness and richness
you will always have someone
who will accept you,
no matter what
you've been through.
And who will love you
even on days that you feel
like you don't deserve love.
That's what I want with you
for the rest of my life.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
It's so romantic!
The birds agree!
I love it!
I felt that real! Oh,
my God, I love it!
You will be able to walk again.
Everything's okay.
Try to stand up.
Oh! Leon,
now that Angel's foot is healed,
you can now finally
file your resignation.
Ouch!
Ouch!
Are you okay?
She's acting.
Your X-ray result is okay.
Your foot is not swollen anymore.
So, you should walk it out, so it
can go back to how it used to be.
Doesn't it need a cast?
No, no need.
Does it hurt?
It hurts.
I can't even stand
up, how can I reach
Psst. Angel, Enrique's calling.
Papang?
Yes, sorry.
Yeah, hello!
I'm sure you know this illusion
has an expiration, right?
So, whatever you have right now
should stop.
Just like before.
Why do you think
she left you three years ago?
Angel?
Did you see a
woman? Fair-skinned?
Yes, she left
already. Is that your girlfriend?
I know you're not stupid.
And I also know that you
can't give her this kind of life.
So, if you really love her
don't
let all of this
be taken away from her.
From her family.
Mima.
This is exactly
where I first saw you.
And right then and there,
I knew we were meant to be,
and I knew we would spend
the rest of our lives together.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
Congratulations! Whoo!
Give those to them!
Yes.
Take more pictures!
Where is Leon?
He should be here
because this is his concept.
Ma'am, he doesn't want
to work here anymore.
Hey, Angel.
Attend to the client.
Yes, ma'am, the client.
Yes, madam.
Angel
Enrique is about to come back!
This is what
you need to do. Relax, chill.
Get some beauty sleep!
Get a Brazilian wax!
Baby beaver!
Right?
Picture, picture, picture. Here.
Good morning, Leon.
Still not in the mood.
He's been like that
since yesterday.
Ma'am Angel?
Hi!
God! Come in.
Ma'am Angel!
Guys, this is Ma'am Angel,
our boss at the events company.
Leon! It's Ma'am Angel! Leon!
This is too much, ma'am.
Those are just supplies
that you can also send home.
Ooh!
A thank you gift
for taking care of me.
Aww.
This is a lot!
Get away from me.
Thank you, see this.
Here, bro.
Leon.
Hey, are you really resigning?
We have another event next week.
Hey.
What are you doing here, Angel?
Nothing, I just brought some
Can we stop playing games?
I don't know.
I guess I just wanted to see you.
I miss you.
What do you really want?
I don't know, I'm confused.
How about you? I
really don't know.
You don't know?
Well, I know.
I know that I love you so much.
But I also know
that I am not what you need.
You need someone else so you can live,
that's why I'm walking away from you.
You don't have to walk away.
Angel, if I don't
stop being with you,
I can never stop loving you.
I know that I will just get hurt,
we will just get hurt,
because what we have
doesn't have a future.
So, please, let's just stop this.
Maybe there really
is a reason why we met again.
I was okay before.
I was okay when
you were not around,
but now
I don't even understand why,
all of a sudden,
it feels like I can't live
without you anymore.
Damn it.
Damn it, I love you.
Shit, I love you.
It feels good to finally say it.
Leon, are you sure?
I'm not easy to love.
Your life will never
be the same again.
If we choose each other,
we need to fight for it
because I'm sure that Enrique
won't make this easy for us.
Can you do it?
Can you really love me?
Because I'm ready to jump if you
tell me you're doing this with me.
Hello! Welcome!
Come and enjoy! Ma'am, sir!
Hi! Welcome!
Hello!
Welcome.
Is everything okay?
I love you.
Thank you for this award.
You know, being recognized
as an outstanding Filipina,
is just the cherry on top.
Filipinos in Dubai are changing.
We are now
respected and recognized.
We are now achievers
who work hard for our dreams.
But one thing will never change.
We should not forget
where we came from.
Awards like this feel
good, but this is meaningless
if you don't have
someone to share it with.
People often ask
me, how did I make it?
What is my story?
HR director, awards, glitz,
glamour, success.
But I'm telling you, the
moment I step inside my house
Psst.
it all goes away.
I am a mother
Let me handle this.
A wife, a daughter.
I am still the same farm girl
from La Union.
Enrique.
I remember him
from the yacht.
I thought I told you to fire him.
Can I explain?
I'll talk to him.
No, no, no. Please.
Who is that man?
Are you fucking him?
It's not like that.
Do you think I'm stupid?
No.
You're going behind my back
with someone like that?
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
My divorce is final.
I can marry you now.
How dare you!
You can't do this to me, Angel!
This is all you've ever wanted.
I love him.
Please let me go.
Please.
You will never be
anything without me.
You will never be happy!
Get out!
Get out!
I warned you!
I told you!
My God, Angel!
You are so selfish!
Did you even think
about your family?
About us?
Your employees?
How about our families?
We are all depending
on this company!
Tita, we will go
through this together.
We will help each other.
How?
You owe Enrique AED 500,000!
You're massively in debt!
6.5 million pesos?
Where in
the world will you get that?
Angel and I will
work on it together.
I will never leave her.
And from here on,
I will share all her burdens.
What are you, teenagers?
You're too old for this!
You know Enrique
very well, Angel.
You know the price
of this foolishness!
Angel, where should I put this?
Put it here on the side.
Love?
GF?
BF!
GF!
Look, I bought you something.
It's cheap, but I
hope you'll like it.
This is too much!
I was thinking you could wear it.
It's so nice! I
can really wear it.
That feels great.
Thank you!
I will wear this
on my online selling gig.
I will sell bags. There they are.
What do you think?
I'll get big commissions
from that. That's a lot.
GF, I have another
surprise for you.
Take a look.
Read it.
What is this?
My loan got approved! AED 15,000!
Wow!
And not just that.
What else?
I talked to my boss
about me wanting to be a chef.
He said he'll refer me
if he finds any opening.
Someday, we will be
able to finally go home for good.
We will start your dream
of having a restaurant.
Simple life, simple family.
Simple dreams for the two of us.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, Leon, I need
to speak with you for a minute.
Can you please follow me?
Just comment "mine," sis!
First to comment
will get this item.
There
you go Who is this?
Maki De Vera is
the first commenter!
Sis, take a screenshot!
One, two, three, four.
Four, three, two, one.
Tugs, tugs, tugs, tugs!
Okay! Thank you all very much!
That's it for tonight,
until next time!
Thank you, miners! Bye!
What is this?
You went to the police station?
Yes.
I got a call about Enrique.
He is filing a case against me.
This is about the events company.
It's because we were
business partners
and I just left without
any settlement.
So, now, I'm banned from
employment until I pay the fine.
How much is it?
AED 50,000.
Um, I need
to settle it in three months.
The rest of the
debt, I will just pay gradually.
He'll decide if he
wants to settle it in court.
Or just
have a private settlement.
Well, that's just how it is.
We've
expected this anyway, right?
I'm sure Enrique
is not stopping anytime soon,
but it's okay.
We'll fight for this.
Leon.
Hey.
Are you okay?
I just lost my job, Angel.
That's fine.
You can find another one.
GF.
What if we just
go home to the Philippines?
Maybe our luck is
not here in Dubai.
What's there for us back home?
It's harder to earn money there.
And I have a travel ban.
I cannot travel back home.
You know what, you
will get another job.
And I will settle all my debts.
Trust me.
We will get through this.
Okay.
If that's what you want.
We can do this.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I had problems
in remitting money.
But don't worry,
I will send it right away.
Should you need more,
I will find another way.
This will get us
through, son. It's okay.
What's important
is that you're safe there.
Don't worry about me, Dad.
I am very much okay here.
Okay.
Get some rest.
Okay, take care too.
Bro, there's an easy way
to solve your problems.
I have a big transaction coming.
Easy-peasy, give the
cargo and then take the money.
Only one big pour of courage is
what it'll take to fix your lives.
Yes, I know it's scary
because this is not our country,
but this is what we need.
For the likes of us,
we only have two choices.
Either you suffer
or you take action.
Think about it.
Maybe I need to tell Patrick that
he can't go to La Salle anymore.
I can't afford it anymore.
Leon, what if
What if I talk to Enrique?
Ask him to settle this,
I just need to try.
You know, maybe he considers...
No.
The two of us will
raise money together
to pay your debt.
Babe.
Leave me alone, asshole!
Babe
Don't touch me or I'll hurt you!
Just hear me out, please.
Babe, hey!
Stop! We're done!
So that's why you
don't have Facebook!
I should've asked for a CENOMAR!
I trusted you too much!
Babe, I didn't think that
What? That you'll get caught?
That you have a wife and children
back in the Philippines!
That you made me a mistress!
I've been honest to you! Asshole!
Sorry.
Did you know of this?
Asshole.
I have a plan.
Do what's right, Juniver.
Go home and fix
this mess you made!
I don't want to see
your face ever again.
Leave!
Babe, wait. Babe!
Bro.
Why did you do that?
I didn't I didn't plan this.
I didn't plan to hurt anybody,
I didn't plan to cheat on anyone.
I came here to
Dubai for my family.
But I never expected that being
alone here would be this sad.
You work your ass off, day and night,
just so you can send money back home.
I started questioning
if this was all there was for me.
Is this really going to
be my life? A cash cow?
Then I met Cat.
I found happiness again.
But she's right, I need to fix this
mess. I need to fix it. Damn it!
But even if I want to start over,
I don't know how. I
don't have money.
I'll go home without anything.
I don't even have savings.
What about the people
depending on me?
How can we survive? I
can't just let them suffer, bro.
I am a father.
Goddamn...
It's so expensive
to love, damn it.
Hey, kabayan, how are
you? Come in. No. Thank you.
Ruth!
Hey, Ma'am Angel.
How've you been?
I'm good. Um
Come in.
No, no, it's fine.
I just need to try because
What happened? Why?
Maybe I can sell these to you?
Maybe you can help me?
Ma'am, we
don't usually buy old gold.
Maybe you can just try because
I bought most of these from you.
And I am a loyal customer, right?
Yes, ma'am, I know that.
Okay, ma'am, let me just check.
Give me a minute.
Bring these too.
Okay, ma'am, wait
for me, I'll be back.
Thank you, miners!
Okay, sir.
Thank you, bye!
I will go to the
interview next week.
Yes, sir!
Okay!
I'll write down.
Hello?
Angel! Your mother!
She had a heart attack!
What?
We already called an ambulance!
Patrick! Get my bag!
Damn it, Patrick! My bag!
What are you doing? Get the keys!
We're heading to the hospital,
send money right away!
Yes! Yes!
Hello? Hello?
Annette, what the... Don't die!
Angel, why? What happened?
Why? What happened?
Angel?
Damn it. What's this?
What is this?
Is this a prank?
Are we in a soap opera?
Why?
Damn it, what else?
What else? What else? What else?
I need to go home,
I need to go home!
Angel.
Where is my stuff?
Calm down.
I need to go home to the
Philippines! My mom is dying!
She needs me.
My mom needs me, she's
been asking me to come home.
I should've gone home!
Leon, I don't know what to do,
please help me.
We need money, please help me.
Help me, Leon.
My mom
My mom!
Are you sure about this?
Yes, bro. Angel needs help badly.
She needs the money
for her mom's medication.
She needs to go home.
Jhim.
Yes, Auntie. I
already sent money.
Yes, okay.
Leon.
Pack your things,
bring everything. Why?
We're going home.
How?
It doesn't matter. I found a way.
What's important now is,
you pack your things.
I'll pick you up later.
Okay.
Let's go?
Are you really not going?
Damn it, I'm nervous.
You can do this. Just call
me when you get the money.
Go, go, go.
Hey, how about you
work on your first day?
Start working.
Sorry.
Hey, what happened?
Where are you going?
I'm going home.
Leon and I are going home.
Huh? How?
How about your debt?
He found a way. He got a loan.
What way?
I saw him and
Juniver talking to Jhim.
I think they're here.
Be safe.
The number you're
trying to reach is unavailable.
Damn it, Leon!
Answer the phone!
The number
you're trying to reach
Let's go to Jhim! Come on!
Let's go!
Just relax.
Jhim!
Jhim!
What did you ask
Leon and Juniver to do?
Easy! They're on their way.
What do you mean? What if
something happened to them?
Why is it my fault?
Is it me who wants to go home?
Am I the one in debt?
I'm just helping!
Leon is doing this for you! What
they're going to do is simple.
Oh, here they are! Hello?
Hello, Jhim.
Leon, don't do this.
Listen to me, please.
You don't have to do this.
Angel, I told you
I will do anything for you.
This is the answer
to your problem.
No, please. Please come back.
That is not important anymore,
just come back!
Let's go!
Run! Run!
Leon?
Leon, what's
happening? What's happening?
Answer me! What's that?
Hello? Hello? Damn it!
Jhim, we're coming with you!
Don't follow me if you
don't want to get involved!
Juniver!
Juniver! Juniver!
Juniver, where's Leon?
I don't know,
I'm sorry. He's still there.
What do you
mean? You were together!
Yes, the police arrived,
I was scared, I panicked.
I'm sorry, please tell Leon
when you see him that I'm sorry.
You were scared?
Juniver, what were you thinking?
That's Leon!
I didn't know
what to do, Cat! I didn't know!
Please not now, just let me be!
You're an asshole!
So, that's just it?
Please, not now.
I'll just call you!
Okay, this
looks all right. Sort it out.
Fix it.
Just sign here.
I'm running out of time now. Let's
just fix this old thing, all right?
Will do that immediately.
Enough now.
Okay? Later.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing here?
Sir
Angel needs your help.
Please help her.
How dare you come here
and ask for my help?
Sir, her mother is in the
hospital. She needs money.
She needs to go
home to the Philippines.
Sir, I'm begging you.
Sir, remove the case. Sir,
please. Sir, please help her.
No! That woman betrayed me!
Both of you! You played me!
You made me look like a fool!
Sir. I'm begging you.
Sir, please help her.
Sir, I'm willing to do
everything. Just help her, please.
I'm begging you, sir.
Please help us, sir.
Sir. Please, sir.
Please have mercy.
Please help Angel, sir.
Sir, she needs your help.
Please, I'm begging you, sir.
All the money, all the jewelry,
all the expensive things
I have given to her
are waiting for her in my room.
Give her back to me.
You don't deserve her!
You are nothing!
Akhmed, I've forgotten something.
Turn around.
What the hell?
Get him!
Sir.
Come here!
Sir, sir, sir!
Come on! Get him!
Sir! Sir! I'm sorry, sir!
Sir, please forgive me, sir!
Sorry!
Give it to him!
Sir! Sir Enrique!
Take him!
Sir, please!
Sir! Sir, please forgive me, sir!
I'll let you know
if Leon gets admitted here.
Yes, please.
I've been
calling the police stations.
I also went there asking for
him, but they also heard nothing.
So, please, let me know.
Don't worry, I'll update you.
Hello?
Your boyfriend is here.
The son of a bitch
was trying to steal from me.
Enrique, please.
Don't do anything.
If you don't come here now
I swear, you'll
never see him again.
Leon!
Leon!
Leon! Leon! Leon! Damn it, Leon!
Wake up! Leon!
I'm sorry.
Leon!
Damn it, answer me!
Leon. Leon.
Leon!
Angel.
Angel
Don't do this.
I'm not done yet.
Come back to me now
or maybe I will bury
him in the desert.
Don't do this, please.
Please, I beg you.
The choice is yours, Angel.
No, no.
I don't need that.
He did let you come here.
This is it.
Is this really it?
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you too, a lot.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Make all your dreams
happen because
that is my dream for you.
Without you by my side?
Yes.
How will it be for you?
I'm okay.
I'm okay that
once in my life,
I was loved by someone like you.
I've been through a lot.
I can survive this.
I'm okay because I know
you're going home safe and alive.
I can't do this.
You can.
You can.
I love you so much.
I can't do this.
Yes, you can.
Angel, I can't.
Go on, Leon. Go on.
Go, you might miss your flight.
Be safe here.
I love you so much.
Go on.
Walk away and don't look back.
Hey, put the food
that I will deliver here.
Okay, brother.
Hello?
Leon!
Hey! Sexy!
Okay, fine!
My friend is bringing
the gifts I sent for you.
You should've not bothered.
I told you to save money there.
Aren't you coming home?
Maybe in December. I'll be
back with my new boyfriend!
But this time,
I made sure he has a CENOMAR!
Good for you.
So, are you still
visiting Juniver in jail?
No.
I've let go already.
I've forgiven him too.
I'm done with my
lunch break, I need to go now.
Uh, Cat
What?
How is
How is
Mmm.
I haven't heard from her yet.
Stop with the issues!
I hope you
enjoy my gift from Dubai!
I'm sorry I wasn't
able to wrap it.
I'm so excited!
Take care.
Keep in touch.
Okay, bye!
Hey! I
told you, I'll cook for you.
Someday, we will be able
to finally go home for good.
We will start your
dream of having a restaurant.
Simple life, simple family.
Simple dreams for the two of us.
You should name him after me.
If not Leon, maybe
we can name him Tiger.
He'll be naughty like you!
How about Puma?
Puma. I like it!
Hurry up, so I can
start the delivery.
Angel?
What are you doing here?
I just brought
Cat's gifts for you.
Who are you with?
Enrique?
No, no.
We already broke up.
He eventually left me
because I went crazy.
How about you?
Congratulations.
You've made your dreams happen.
I'll go ahead.
I'll just leave the gifts.
Brother!
Bro, the deliveries are ready.
My sister, Agnes.
Her husband, James.
Hi, ma'am.
Hello!
This is Angel.
I was with her in Dubai.
Angel? You gave
her Mom's ring, right?
Bro, I'll handle the deliveries.
Take care, love.
So
Can it still be us?
Of course.
