My Future You (2024) Movie Script
There are more than
eight billion people in the world.
How will you find the one for you?
In the Philippines alone,
there are more than 119 million people.
What happens now?
But as they say,
you don't have to look for the one.
If they are meant for you,
they will come.
Hey, what's that?
Stop using your cellphone.
You don't even know
whats real on social media.
I told you so.
Huh? Theyre saying the world is flat.
-What?
-What?
Look.
Can you please eat first?
Youre getting on my nerves.
Youre always on your cellphone.
Babe, relax.
Go ahead. Eat first.
Karen, how's your application?
Stepdad, I'm tired.
Until now, no one has called me.
I told you you could work at the garage
in the meantime.
You can work for us
while you're waiting for your application,
so that you won't get stressed
waiting for a call.
Why are you forcing Karen
to get a job right away?
She's been busy with her studies
for four years.
You can just help me
with my gourmet dried fish business.
What if
What if I work with Papa?
The soup is so hot.
Its too hot.
Wherever you think youll be happy.
If you want, I'll talk to Tony.
Working in real estate pays well.
That's also a good start.
Right, Stepdad?
Wait.
My salad might get frozen.
Berns, come eat with me.
I already ate.
Look at this papaya. Its reddish.
Thats delicious!
I know what to do.
I can make a papaya shake for you.
I also have kiwi and dragon fruit
in the fridge.
Do you want me to blend it?
Oh, dear!
Up until now,
you cant take care of yourself.
Love you.
Why is there no "I"?
Fine, Ill add "I".
But first, you should be my girlfriend.
No! I'm taken.
But okay, I love you.
Eat, eat!
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Hey!
-Hello?
-Did you receive my text?
Where are you?
I explained it to you before.
Didn't we agree to it?
You work for Miguel first.
Try it.
Were in Dubai now, son.
Did you see the comet?
Yes, Dad.
It's so beautiful.
And it's the first night.
It seems like it's not moving.
Miguel and I also talked.
Everything is okay.
Pa.
It only appears every 15 years.
You should make a wish. Hurry!
They say it's bad luck,
but I don't believe them.
It's a blessing for us and your mom.
Who knows?
That might give you a GF.
Hello, Pa? You're choppy.
Hello?
Pa?
You're choppy.
About Miguel.
I'll think about it.
You dont need to think. Please, baby.
It's just temporary.
Trust me on this. Give it six months.
-Four.
-Five.
Four and a half.
Okay. Four and a half.
Ill call Miguel, okay?
Pa, come outside! There's a comet!
Okay, bye. Love you, baby.
Bye, son. See you!
-Love you!
-Love you, Pa.
Really?
Hi, Libra Gurl!
Hello, Aquaman!
I'm Aquarius Boy.
Boy? You're already 21.
I have a baby face.
So, have you graduated?
Yup, Fine Arts.
Wow, artist!
How about you?
Business Ad.
Im actually looking for a job.
I thought you were looking for me.
What a smooth move!
It says here, "Searching for the one."
You're cool, huh?
Not really.
I'm quite boring.
I'm not bored.
For now.
Where are you in Cebu?
Naga.
Isn't that in Bicol?
Is that a joke?
Cam to cam?
Thats too soon!
Well get to that point anyway.
Seize the day!
Game?
Wait. I'm not prepared!
Game?
Game.
On my count,
well turn on the cam together.
Okay?
Okay.
Three, two,
one!
Hey!
Hey!
Youre beautiful.
Thank you.
You're cute.
Sis, wheres my Statistics homework?
Bonbon, please!
Don't you know how to knock?
Your door is open.
Oh, jeez!
Hey, what's that?
Cybersex?
What are you saying? What cyber--
Thats what you get from the Internet!
Im just joking, sis! Relax!
No trash talk. Calm down.
-Trash talk?
-Yeah!
Hey, bro!
Im Troy, by the way.
Is she your girlfriend?
You know what? Get out!
-Get out!
-Hes your boyfriend, isnt he?
Get out! One!
-My Statistics homework!
-Fine! Out, out!
Hey, bro. I'm Troy.
Youre so irritating! Get out.
I'll kick you out!
-Bye, sis!
-Hurry up!
Don't come back.
That kid is so childish!
He's not a kid anymore,
but he still acts as if hes a baby.
You seem like a demanding sister.
You seem nice.
By the way, I'm Alexander.
Just call me Lex.
I'm Karenina.
Just call me Karen.
Hi, Karen!
Hi, Lex!
-Take care of that luggage.
-Slowly.
-Can you handle that, Margaret?
-Wait. Oh, dear.
-Alexander, we're here!
-Son!
Ma! Pa!
Wait a minute.
We still smell like the airport.
Youre feasting on your mom.
Leave me some.
It's been eight days. I need more kisses.
-One more.
-One last.
Leave me some. Hey, wait!
It smells so good in here.
-Youre smelling food again.
-Of course.
Im hungry. We just came from--
-Dried fish.
-Dried fish.
Scrambled egg.
Salted egg.
Fried rice. And, of course, mango juice.
Fresh from the farm.
My favorite!
Oh, madam,
hes been bugging me since last night.
He told me that he's going to prepare
your breakfast.
He even chopped the tomatoes.
He said hell do it himself.
-You didn't help him?
-No, I didn't.
I've got no work to do.
Hey, don't get married yet.
I'm going to lose my baby too soon.
How will you have a grandchild
if youre like that?
I'll just buy you a dog.
You want that, don't you?
-I hope it's a big one, just like you.
-The dog will jump on you.
Miss.
Can you assist me here?
-Miss.
-Yes?
How about this one?
Sorry, sir. Just a moment.
Okay.
It's a 2021 model. Automatic.
The registration is included
when you avail.
The battery and tires are still okay.
Excuse me.
She's not focused on her work.
HOW ARE YOU?
WERE YOU ABLE TO CLOSE A SALE?
IM ON MY WAY
AND WE CAN HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER
Miss!
Miss!
-Can you please assist me here?
-Yes, sir.
Sorry, sorry.
Honestly, Ma,
I feel ashamed. Stepdad Miguel means well.
I know how eager he is to help me out,
but that work isnt really for me.
My child.
I hope you give Miguel a chance.
He just wants to help you.
It's not like that, Ma.
I'm just not comfortable working there.
I'll tell him.
Really?
Thank you, Ma! I love you!
I love you, too.
That place isnt really for me.
Why not?
Okay. Try me.
I'm good at giving advice.
Or
maybe its just not
the right environment for me.
It doesnt excite me.
What excites you?
Me?
What a pick-up line!
You're so sly.
No, but seriously,
do what makes you happy. Right?
Just like now, youre happy.
Huh?
Youre happy because youre talking to me.
Why
Are you okay?
Can I work with you instead?
Okay. Fine.
-Really?
-Yes.
I love you, Papa.
I love you too, baby.
So, Karen, this is my house.
Wow!
Your house has a second floor.
I envy you!
My parents love to travel.
They love souvenirs. Like this one.
It's from Africa.
And there are more downstairs.
I'll show you.
Wait.
-Give me a tour!
-Wait.
-Show me around. Hurry!
-Okay.
Like these. Do you know
where these are from?
These are from different parts of Asia.
-Lucky you.
-And last
I have someone to introduce to you.
Wait.
Thats the start.
Youre overreacting.
Hes a grown man now, okay? Relax.
Do you have a dog? Can I see?
-Can I see him? Hurry!
-Wait.
Youre so slow. Hurry!
-Where?
-Tada!
Meet
Chopper.
-See? My partner in crime.
-Nice. You got your own car.
You know,
I think you and Stepdad Miguel
will get along.
You have the same car color.
As cute as me?
Fine.
-You're cute.
-Like that?
Dimple.
This is a very friendly
neighborhood, ma'am.
Its five minutes away from the market.
Fifteen minutes away
from school and church.
And we have 24-hour security personnel
for your safety.
Total of 140 square meters.
-Floor area
-Mama and Papa have separated.
The usual. They don't get along.
-Good luck!
-The payment is convenient too.
So,
that's the reason why
you dont want to work
-at the used car sales garage?
-Thank you.
Because of your Stepdad Miguel?
Maybe.
First house tour.
You closed the deal right away!
Of course! I got it from my papa.
Congratulations, baby girl!
Thanks, Papa!
Or, simply, I just want to be with my dad.
Theres still plenty of food.
You already ate too many.
Everything seems easy
when I'm with my dad.
Even when I was young,
we always ate together.
Ever since he left home,
I felt like something was missing.
-Good night.
-Good night, son.
Good night, son.
-Good night.
-I am an only child.
My parents are both senior citizens.
I love them so much.
They taught me to be contented
and be thankful.
As simple as waking up in the morning
and you're still alive
It's already a blessing
that you should be thankful for.
Everything that happens has a reason.
There are things
that are hard to understand.
Of course, your mom had a hard time
when your dad left.
But your Stepdad Miguel came. See?
That's how destiny brings people together.
I love Stepdad Miguel.
I have no complaints about him.
He's responsible.
And I know that he loves my mom so much.
But, of course,
I only have one dad.
Of course.
On my seventh birthday,
there was a storm.
They had a fight.
Admit it, Tony!
I already know.
So, just tell the truth!
Is she doing it on purpose?
Why now?
Why dont you admit
that it came from Hazel?
Why dont you believe me
that it wasnt her?
Youve been making me feel stupid!
Ive been working
my butt off in Singapore.
And then this?
Someone delivered a portrait of a woman.
It was for me, but it didnt say
where it came from.
My mom thought that
it came from my dad's mistress.
I mean, from Hazel.
Because the portrait says "Xel".
It was purposely sent on my birthday.
Even before, they always fought over her.
I put the portrait in the storage room,
together with other meaningless trash.
That's where it belonged.
Two weeks later,
they separated.
But you know what?
My dad's mistress died three years ago.
I thought they would get back together.
But
Stepdad Miguel and my mom were together.
Maybe if Stepdad Miguel wasn't there,
they would get back together.
We only live once, Lex.
Is it wrong to wish for a normal family?
Karen.
Hmm?
I'm adopted.
Huh?
I still havent met my real parents.
I don't remember them at all.
My mama and papa were passengers
on the ship, MV Maricar.
And the ship sank because of a typhoon.
Then,
while the ship was sinking,
a married couple
with five children approached them,
asking them to save me
because they couldnt save us all.
I was still a baby then.
They're my real family, Karen.
Ive known these things
since I was in elementary.
My mama and papa
didn't hide anything from me.
Somehow, I'm still lucky.
Let me do it.
They're so kind to me.
I never felt
that I'm alone.
Most of all,
I never felt that
Im not their son.
I love you.
I love you.
I always wonder before I go to sleep,
are my real parents still alive?
Are they looking for me?
What do you think?
Sorry, I made you cry.
I can feel your sadness.
Do you want to be happy?
Huh?
Lets meet soon!
How? Youre too far.
A plane ticket to Manila is quite cheap.
What are we going to do?
I just want to meet your family.
I want to get to know them.
Aunt Pam, your stepdad Miguel, and Bonbon.
Hey!
Don't tell them anything, okay?
Okay.
Game.
Where are we going to meet?
I only know U-belt and Luneta.
Wow!
Luneta?
That's classic.
Where in Luneta? Thats a big place.
Do you know Kilometer Zero?
It's right in front of the Rizal Monument.
There's a centennial clock there.
That's where we'll meet.
Kilometer Zero?
So, we're really starting from zero?
From zero and beyond.
From zero and beyond.
Nice!
Okay. What's your phone number?
Is that necessary?
Let's just talk here.
Just in case theres no Internet.
Okay.
How about you?
This is my first time doing this.
Me too!
Don't kidnap me, okay?
Why dont you kidnap me instead?
Okay. See you!
See you!

Sir
Sir, excuse me.
I think shes no longer coming.
Do you have a wife?
Me? No, I don't have one yet.
How about a girlfriend?
I have a girlfriend,
but she doesn't know about it yet.
I'm still courting her.
What's this?
You can have it.
I can have this?
Thats special. Its from Cebu.
-Really? Are you sure?
-Yes.
Thank you!
How dare you!
Me? Why me?
I've been waiting for you for two hours!
Youve been saying that you live in Cebu,
but what if you just live here,
in Morayta?
Wait a minute.
What do you mean?
I've been waiting for you
for two hours last night.
Youre a poser!
What?
What do you mean two hours?
I am the one
who waited for you for two hours.
What? If you really came last night,
why didn't you send me a message?
Like, "Im here now. Where are you?"
Karen, I've been calling you
so many times.
There was no signal,
and the number you gave me was wrong.
What?
You're the one
who gave me the wrong number.
Wait, I'll send you something.
Check this out!
Wait.
Here, take a look.
So, why didn't I see you?
Why didn't I see you, too?
I dont know!
Maybe because you didn't show up.
What do you mean I didn't show up?
Look, Im here, in Manila.
Here, look!
What can you say?
Theres a place like that in Cebu!
You didn't show up, period!
Karen, you're the one who didn't show up.
Oh, my God!
Okay.
Let's just forget about this.
It looks like you don't have
any intention of admitting it.
Fine. Okay.
Make up for this!
Tonight, 7:00 p.m.,
at Kilometer Zero, in front of the clock!
Goodbye!
Hey!
Lovers quarrel?
Hey, what's going on?
Relationship problems, Mom.
Grown-ups.
The number you dialed
is not a registered number.
Please check the number and dial again.
The number you dialed
is not a registered number.
Please check the number and dial again.
Sir, do you like some roses?
Please buy some. Please buy all of these.
Ma'am, there might be an emergency again.
So, how was the tour, sir?
Did you like the unit?
What do you think, honey?
This is okay for us.
By next week, let's settle the papers,
so it'll be quick.
Thank you, Sir Villanueva! Maam,
-thank you!
-Thank you.
I told you it fits everything you need.
You can call me Paco.
You look familiar.
Have we met?
I'm not sure, Sir Paco.
I have a lot of clients lately.
By the way, thank you again. Thank you!
-Thank you so much!
-Thank you.
You're welcome. See you soon, okay?
Yes.
-I'll wait for your call.
-Okay.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Make a wish.
Make a wish.
Happy birthday, baby!
I HOPE YOU LIKE I-Hi, Karen! Happy birthday!
-Thank you!
-Its time to eat.
-Okay.
Mom, was there a delivery for me?
Delivery? The cake.
Who was it from?
Who else? Its from your Dad.
Pam!
Happy birthday to your daughter!
Have you eaten?
You have so many guests.
How was it, baby?
Are you happy with your party?
Why?
Baby.
What happened?
I'm okay, Papa.
I'm happy that you're here.
Baby.
Soon,
you will understand.
Your mom and I are happy
with what we have now.
I still love her.
She loves me.
Whatever kind of love we have now,
we're good with that.
And we're contented with it.
Love doesn't mean
being there all the time.
Love is more than that.
WE LOVE YOU!
You know what? If you have nothing to say,
then Ill just turn this off.
Belated happy birthday!
That's all? Youre done?
Youre so confusing!
Im confusing?
Really? Please, Lex!
Are you bored?
Is that why you're talking to me?
Is that why you're playing me around?
You gave me a gift? You, jerk!
-Hey, foul!
-What foul?
25B Ilang-Ilang Street, Marikina City.
-So, what now?
-What do you mean "what now"?
That's where I had your gift sent
five days ago.
Lex, enough, please.
Enough of this!
I accepted your call for you
to stop playing me around!
Okay? Not me! Stop fooling me!
That's all? You don't plan to apologize?
Apologize? Me?
Me? Apologize to you?
Lex, why are you doing this?
Are you bored?
Why are you fooling me?
Do I look gullible? Am I dumb?
You're so annoying!
Karen,
sit down.
Please.
Sit down. Let's talk.
Please?
You said you went there twice, right?
Me too, twice.
Hey, wait.
Don't talk yet. Okay?
Let's talk about this.
Let's clear this up.
Did you really go to Kilometer Zero?
Oh? Wait.
Don't get mad yet.
The answer is yes or no.
Let's try to clarify
everything that happened.
Let's clear this up because maybe
we just missed each other.
So, did you really go to Kilometer Zero?
Yes.
Manila, Kilometer Zero.
There you go.
Very good. Let's talk calmly.
Okay? No shouting.
Uhm
Which part of Kilometer Zero
did you go to?
In front of the Centennial Clock.
Good. Me too. Thats where I went.
Okay, next.
Did you go there at 7:00 p.m.?
Not 7:00 a.m. but 7:00 p.m.
I told you.
Seven p.m., night. Its dark. Okay?
-I took a selfie, right?
-Wait.
Calm down. Okay?
Calm down. Just relax.
You just celebrated your birthday,
and now youre hot-tempered.
Dont match the storm outside.
Storm? Its your fault!
Just calm down. Calm down.
Okay, next.
The first one was September 14th.
Second, September 15th.
Fourteenth and 15th.
Maybe you went there on a different date,
that's why we didn't see each other.
Yes.
September 14, Saturday.
September 15, Sunday.
What?
September 14 is a Monday.
-Then, September 15 is a Tuesday.
-So, the dates arent matched, too?
Wait!
Here! Read it!
Read it. Here.
Wait.
14, Saturday.
Here.
15, Sunday?
Are we good?
Wait! Wait.
Now, you read it.
Read this, Karen. Okay?
September 14, Monday.
September 15, Tuesday.
See?
Okay?
So, its Monday and Tuesday.
Wow!
Hey, what's your problem?
Whats wrong with you?
Your calendar is old! It's from 2009!
Is this a prank?
Huh?
Yes, it is 2009.
Its year 2009 now.
What? 2009?
2024!
Are you crazy?
Look!
Here.
2024?
Hey!
Hey.
Hey!
You're in Marikina, right?
This again?
Can you
open the window? Let me see the outside.
What are you thinking?
Come on, please.
Wait!
Here!
What's this about?
Are we good?
Wait. Look at this.
Look at this.
Earlier, in an emergency meeting
that was scheduled
by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,
-Defense Secretary
-Whats this?
Prank? Your set-up is amazing!
Rescue operations are underway
in the towns of Marikina,
Cainta, Pasig, and other neighborhoods.
More than 20 rubber boats
and 20 six-by-six trucks
have been deployed to these places
to save people--
Karen,
I've been wanting to talk to you
about this since last night.
Because Metro Manila
is experiencing a typhoon now,
the Typhoon Ondoy.
And the entire Metro Manila
is in a state of calamity,
and Marikina is flooded.
It's only 2009 here, so, I guess,
its 2024 there?
I'm still not convinced.
I still need proof.
If I need a proof,
it should come from you.
Huh? Why me?
Youre in the future.
I can't give you anything
that you can't research
because I'm in the past.
So, it should be something
that hasnt happened here yet.
Whoo!
It's weird, but it's cool.
Okay.
What proof do you want?
What will happen here tomorrow?
I don't know.
Think of what can happen here tomorrow
that was recorded on the Internet
or in the newspapers.
Something like that.
Tomorrow?
September 27, 2009.
Lotto!
For sure, there is an online record
of the lotto results tomorrow.
Okay, game!
Wait. Uhm
September 27, 2009.
Lotto results.
Gotcha!
Some of the victims
drifted away from the river
and were never again seen
by their loved ones.
Ten of these people
were taken away by the Marikina river,
including six kids.
The cemetery has a list of their clothes
and some of the victims' identification.
My Lord, have mercy. Poor people.
Papa, after the typhoon,
we need to help them.
Check where we can donate.
Yes, Mama.
Of course, you need to find them.
So, if someone is looking,
we tell them the whereabouts rightaway.
Wait!
-It's news time!
-Pa, wait.
Just a minute. One minute, please.
Please.
And the lucky number combination
for lotto tonight,
for 16 million pesos,
September 27, 2009, is
Son, when did you start playing the lotto?
Wait. Okay?
Here are the numbers that will be drawn.
-Forty-two.
-Forty-two.
-Forty.
-Forty!
Forty.
-Zero four.
-Zero four!
Zero four.
-Thirty.
-Thirty!
Thirty.
-Forty-six.
-Forty-six!
Forty-six.
And the last number is
-Thirty-five.
-Thirty-five!
Thirty-five!
Thank you, Lord!
We won!
We won!
And we have
No winner.
No winner!
Yes! Yes!
-Yes!
-Why didnt you place a bet?
You didnt play.
I just made a guess.
-What? You guessed?
-My God!
I thought you placed a bet.
You shouted as if you placed a bet.
Yes!
What a waste!
What a waste.
We could have used it as donation.
That's why I couldn't contact you.
I was just seven years old that time.
Why couldn't I contact you?
Weird.
Wait. What's your Facebook account?
Friendster?
Friendster? Friendster is gone.
Where are you going?
What?
How did that happen?
What
Karen, you can ride with me.
No, thank you! I already booked a ride.
Bye!
How will I have social media
when I don't even have
a cell phone then, right?
Are you on Facebook?
Wait, wait.
So, you're going
to look for me in my future?
Yes.
I dont want to look at my future.
And you'll find out
what I look like by then.
If I'm still alive, right?
Huh? Why would you die?
Are you sick?
No. You cant predict the future.
Because I might suddenly
get eaten whole by a shark.
Or I might get hit by a train.
I might be gone.
Hey, knock on wood!
So, if you're already 36 here,
maybe we never really met.
Maybe you already have a family here.
Okay, but keep it to yourself.
Alexander Ramos.
Karen, I'll say it again.
Whatever you find out there,
please keep it to yourself.
Okay.
Since we don't know what will happen
and until when,
let's leave it at that.
Carpe Diem!
-Seize the day!
-Seize the day!
Karen, what's going to happen
to the world in the next 15 years?
I have many stories to tell you.
Brace yourself.
Sir, take care of that.
Thank you!
I'll follow in a while.
Just wait a bit, Ms. Karen.
Okay, sir.
Here!
All done. Thank you, Sir Paco.
Thank you. I'll go ahead.
Take care.
Sir, I thought you're an architect.
Yeah, why?
I just got confused.
Usually, only seafarers
have miniature ships.
That's a miniature of MV Maricar.
The ship MV Maricar.
MV Maricar?
Yes.
It sank in 1988.
I was just four years old then.
Luckily, someone saved me,
but I never saw my family after that.
But it's like a miracle
that I met one of my brothers.
He survived.
So, I decided to have it made
for my parents,
for my other siblings,
that I never saw again.
Just to remind me of them.
Hoping that some of them
are still alive now.
How many siblings do you have, sir?
Five.
While the ship was sinking,
a married couple with five children
approached them.
They begged to save me
because they couldnt save us all.
I was still a baby then.
They're my real family, Karen.
Did you have a baby sibling that time?
Yes. Hes the one I met, Philip.
Hes the youngest. Why?
Philip?
Philip Villanueva.
But he now uses the name Alexander Ramos.
Long story.
You mean Lex?
Do you know my brother?
Where is your brother now?
He's now based in Italy.
He's working there.
So, you know each other?
So, did you meet?
Yeah, he found me in 2009.
He said someone gave him
some info about me.
Wait.
When did you meet in 2009, sir?
Actually,
itll be next week, but in 2009.
It's been 15 years already.
Are you okay, Ms. Karen?
Sorry.
Sorry, sir.
Sorry, I have to go.
Joaquin Villanueva.
You'll meet him next week, Lex. 2009.
You found him.
You found him, Karen.
I don't know.
It just happened.
I have a big brother.
IM JOAQUIN VILLANUEVA. WHOS THIS?
Hello. Are you the one who messaged?
Hi! Yes.
I'm Lex. Alexander Ramos.
Are you also a survivor?
Come in, son.
Son, is there a problem?
-Huh?
-Pa.
Lex?
Um, Karen, Bonbon.
You know how much I love your mama.
And we have already talked to your dad.
And we have decided
to get married next year.
Yes!
Long overdue!
-Congrats, Ma!
-Thank you!
What month next year?
Nothing yet, just next year.
Congrats!
Congrats, Stepdad Miguel!
Thank you!
Do we need to reach this point?
It's my future!
Karen, I think it's wrong.
No!
We found your brother, right? See?
It's okay.
Maybe thats why this is happening to us.
For us to correct something in our past.
So, what?
Its fine with you
that a family will be broken,
even if you can do something to avoid it?
Who said that
your family is broken, Karen?
Aunt Pam and your stepdad Miguels
relationship is good.
Why do we need to do this?
Lex, you don't understand me!
We can still be complete again,
and you're the only one who can do that!
Please?
Just this one time.
Promise.
So, what do you plan to do?
My papa!
Dear Mr. Lopez,
you don't know me,
but I hope youll believe
what I'm about to say.
I saw what would happen to your future.
Your family will be broken.
But you can avoid that
if you ask for forgiveness from your wife
and promise to fix your relationship.
This is for your children.
Future Guy.
Karen, after this,
let's go to the stockroom.
Help Mommy there.
Okay, Mama.
Hey, sis,
there's still breakfast on the table.
Hurry up. We might be late!
Yes, we'll be there
by 10:00 a.m., for sure.
What?
Karen, get dressed now!
Okay, 48 bottles. Are you sure?
Thank you so much, my regular client!
Ma, wheres Papa?
Bonbon.
Condolence, Karen.
Ma?
Papa!
Papa became an alcoholic, Lex.
He died three years ago.
Liver failure.
Sorry, I tried to help,
but I never thought it would lead to this.
Papas gone.
It's my fault!
I shouldn't have asked you!
I shouldn't have meddled!
It's all my fault!
Karen
maybe it's not too late.
He's still alive in my timeline.
My Mama, my Mama.
She's going through everything alone.
Mamas alone, Lex.
Wait.
Didn't you say that your mom and dad
had a major fight
because of the portrait?
When was that again?
Maybe we can use that to stop it.
It's gone. It was my birthday.
It's over.
Wait.
Mama.
Good afternoon!
Yes?
This is for Mrs. Pamela Lopez.
Delivery from Cakes and Sweets.
Maybe the address is wrong.
I didn't order a cake.
I didn't make a mistake
because it says
25B Ilang-Ilang Street, Marikina City.
This is for you--
Ma'am.
Who sent this?
Ma'am, there's nothing written on the box.
I think they didnt put it there.
But there's something written
on the cake that says
"Happy Family Day!"
Then,
"Love, your husband and your children."
Did you open it?
I just helped with the icing, ma'am.
That's all. Okay, ma'am.
-Thank you!
-Thank you, ma'am!
Is it Family Day today?
Someone sent a cake.
Wow! There's a cake!
Bonbon, theres a cake!
Karen.
Sis!
Breakfast is ready.
Come, let's eat!
Hows baby Miguel?
Let's eat, babe.
-Bonbon?
-Sis, lets eat.
Papa's on the way.
I'll ride with him to the highway.
By the way, sis.
Mama's attorney will call later.
The hearing will proceed next week.
What hearing?
Youre the one who follows up
Mamas case in Singapore, right?
Bonbon got someone pregnant.
Mama is in prison.
Papa's alive.
They're not separated.
But
I don't know why this is happening, Lex.
I don't know what to do.
I just want us all to be together.
Give me three days.
I'll try to get you guys back together.
For the last time, trust me.
Philip?
Lex?
My youngest brother!
Joaquin.
Ma?
-There's breakfast on the table.
-Bonbon!
Sis, Im wet. I just came from the shower.
Ma?
Ma?
Yes?
Are you okay?
Stepdad Miguel?
I think I want to cook squid.
Yes! My favorite!
Stepdad Miguel, let me help you.
Ma?
Lex, where are you?
Pa,
I'm here in the stockroom now.
Baby, the yellow envelope.
It says it's for CBA.
Okay, I'll call you later.
Thanks, baby!
Gotcha!
Okay.
X
E
L
Lex?
25B Ilang-Ilang Street, Marikina City.
That's where I sent
your gift five days ago.
Sis, my Statistics homework!
Bonbon, youre annoying!
Don't you know how to knock?
-I'll kick you out!
-Bye, sis!
Oh, God.
Just relax, Ma. It'll be okay.
Maam, sir! Paco is here.
He's also handsome!
Ma, Pa.
My older brother.
Good afternoon.
Everything that comes to our lives
is a blessing
that we should be thankful for.
Mama, Papa,
and now, my brother.
I don't have anything else to ask for.
Thank you, Karen.
Lex is right.
Nothing needs to be changed.
You just need to be contented
and love those who love you.
Hey, you made a wish!
Stepdad Miguel,
why did you choose Mama?
I love her.
How do you know if
you really love someone?
I'll tell you a story.
I didn't tell this to your mom.
You're the only one who will know this.
But this is our secret.
Come here.
I met someone before.
He was selling this blue car to me.
He said
he's from the future.
Chopper?
He came to me with this car.
He was selling it to me.
He said,
50% off.
But there's a deal.
What deal?
He said, two years from now,
2011,
I will meet a woman in a bazaar.
Her name is Pamela.
Shes selling gourmet dried fish.
You need to buy gourmet dried fish,
three bottles, the spicy one.
That's the deal.
At first, I was thinking,
"What is this? A joke?"
Or someone crazy whos bored
with his money.
But
when I saw your mom,
it's true that time slowed down.
Its like I really wanted
to hear her voice.
And then I learned that she's separated
and she has two babies,
you and Bonbon.
But I simply didn't care.
She accepted me even though
I cant give her kids.
She said that you and Bonbon
are enough for her.
And she will take care of the three of us.
Karen,
you accepted me wholeheartedly
in your lives.
And maybe that's what love is.
To love and accept the person you love,
whoever the person is,
or whatever the person is.
It's magic.
You know, Karen,
the reason why I want you
to work with me in the garage
is because I want to get closer to you.
I know that I can't replace your dad
in your heart.
But we can be family.
Right?
Because I love all of you.
I love you, Dada.
I love you, Dada.
What did you call me?
Dada.
I'm sorry, Dada.
I'm sorry.
Ma.
How are you?
You know, 30 years ago,
your dad and I were also here,
looking at it.
We closed our eyes at the same time.
We smiled at the same time.
You were happy earlier.
And that happiness is immeasurable.
That's how we felt
when you came into our lives.
Lex,
you will always be our son.
Ma.
I love you and Dad so much.
And if
my real parents were alive,
the love I have for you will not change.
And Ma,
when I saw my brother Paco yesterday,
its like something
had been added to my life.
And it was so light.
So light.
That's also how I felt
when you came into my life.
You made us complete.
Son.
Family is not about being blood-related.
Its about whats inside the heart.
I love you.
I love you.
So, what now?
We're already two in your heart.
Is that okay?
Huh?
Wait a minute.
Why is--
Why is Chopper not in the garage?
It wasn't in the garage.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I was the reason
why your parents separated.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
I didn't know it would come to this.
I shouldn't
have sent your portrait.
I wish it didn't happen.
Sorry.
You didn't know.
I'm not mad at you.
Besides,
you're the one who found a way
to make everything back to normal, right?
You even went to Dada Miguel.
You even sold Chopper.
I want to give you
a happy and complete family, Karen.
You did, Lex.
You did it.
Youre not mad?
I'm not mad at you.
We tried so many times
to change my future,
but it still stays the same.
Maybe all of this
was meant to happen, Lex.
You,
me,
Stepdad Miguel--
I mean, Dada,
the portrait.
I kept looking for a change,
but I didn't see how happy Mama,
Bonbon,
Dada, and even Papa
were with what we have now.
I didn't see that
there's nothing to change.
Thank you, Lex.
Thank you.
Bro.
-Bro.
-Little bro,
can I just stay here?
The other room is too big. It's scary.
-Sure.
-Oops.
-Sorry.
-Karen, it's my brother.
My brother Paco.
Bro, this is Karen.
Hello.
Hi, sir--
Hi, Bro Paco.
Don't take him too seriously.
He's a charmer.
But he's handsome, right?
Go now, brother. Go there, over there.
Well sleep next to each other. Quick.
Bye, Karen. I'll be right back.
Wow!
So weird!
I have another surprise.
Huh?
It's not over yet?
I think my heart
cant take it anymore, Lex.
Come on.
Game?
Game.
I'll send you a picture. Wait for it.
After I went to your stepdad Miguel,
I went to Marikina.
I went to see you.
And
we saw each other.
I told you something.
Souvenir from the past.
Souvenir?
Souvenir.
Just take care of it.
Take care of it. Don't lose it.
And when you're 22 years old,
and it's still with you
you'll get lucky.
Oh, it has magic?
Bonbon!
Sis, what's that?
Bonbon, I have an amulet.
Thank you! What's your name?
Aquaman.
Thank you, Aquaman!
Let's take a picture, okay?
Come on, Bonbon.
Let's take a picture with Aquaman.
Game.
One, two, three, smile!
Youre Aquaman?
Did you get lucky?
Magic.
Last chance.
Kilometer Zero.
Monday, 7:00 p.m.
Let's meet.
Even if we dont actually meet,
just the same time.
In my time,
in your time.
In the same place,
at the same time.
Let's be there at the same time,
and think that we're together.
Let's close our eyes at the same time.
I'll hold your hand.
Together.
At the same time.
In our own times.
Let's be one.
And let's wait for the magic.
Magic?
Hi, Karen.
Lex?
How are you?
Flowers?
Otap, fresh from Cebu.
It waited for 15 years.
A lot has happened in 15 years.
A lot has changed.
But what I feel for you, Karen,
when I first saw you
stays
here.
You're always with me.
I always feel connected with you.
Great job, Mr. Ramos!
Whos this woman in all of your works?
Shes my future.
Beautiful!
Yes.
In everything I think and do,
you're always there, Karen.
You became part of my life.
September 14 and 15.
Why didn't you see me, then?
I've always been here, Karen.
Always.
September 14, 2024. Saturday.
I really wanted to approach you.
September 15, 2024. Sunday.
I really wanted to hug you and tell you
that I'm here, Karen.
But I couldn't.
If I met you earlier
and I didnt wait,
a lot of things might not have happened.
Maybe this wouldn't have happened either.
A lot of what ifs
in those 15 years.
A lot of questions. A lot of hopes
that we could have met
in the same timeline.
I wish I was there when you graduated
to celebrate with you.
I thought you had a meeting.
You're more important, my love.
-Congrats!
-Thank you, my love!
Yes, I'm on my way now. Yes, okay.
See you. Bye!
-Ill take that.
-Ill do it.
-Sorry, sorry.
-Let me carry these.
Hello, I'm almost there.
Yes. Okay, thank you!
Gosh, wait!
Love, theres no rain yet.
Love, its drizzling. See, look.
Don't you have work today?
No, my boss is sick.
-Thank you!
-Love, let's look for
I wish I was there
when you were looking for a job.
I'll go with you wherever,
no matter what.
I'll do everything for you, Karen.
Congrats!
Thank you!
You know what?
You're my lucky charm.
You are my lucky charm.
Thank you!
I wish I was there when you
closed your first deal in real estate
to tell you how brilliant you are
in everything that you do.
I wish I was there when you were sad,
so that I could show you
that I'm always here.
That I will never leave you,
no matter what.
Never, Karen.
Here you go.
This is hot.
One more? It's hot.
I wish
you and I
until the end.
Now,
I'm different.
I'm scared that--
Lex.
Fifteen years.
You waited for me for 15 years.
Karen, even if it's 20 years,
I'd still wait for you.
As long as it's you.
Nothing has changed.
Alexander Ramos,
you're still my Aquaman.
Karenina Lopez
youre still my Libra Gurl.
So, what's next?
Where do we start?
From zero and beyond?
From zero and beyond.
Among the billions
of people in this world,
if you belong together,
destiny will find a way.
You dont need to look for them
because they will come at the right time.
eight billion people in the world.
How will you find the one for you?
In the Philippines alone,
there are more than 119 million people.
What happens now?
But as they say,
you don't have to look for the one.
If they are meant for you,
they will come.
Hey, what's that?
Stop using your cellphone.
You don't even know
whats real on social media.
I told you so.
Huh? Theyre saying the world is flat.
-What?
-What?
Look.
Can you please eat first?
Youre getting on my nerves.
Youre always on your cellphone.
Babe, relax.
Go ahead. Eat first.
Karen, how's your application?
Stepdad, I'm tired.
Until now, no one has called me.
I told you you could work at the garage
in the meantime.
You can work for us
while you're waiting for your application,
so that you won't get stressed
waiting for a call.
Why are you forcing Karen
to get a job right away?
She's been busy with her studies
for four years.
You can just help me
with my gourmet dried fish business.
What if
What if I work with Papa?
The soup is so hot.
Its too hot.
Wherever you think youll be happy.
If you want, I'll talk to Tony.
Working in real estate pays well.
That's also a good start.
Right, Stepdad?
Wait.
My salad might get frozen.
Berns, come eat with me.
I already ate.
Look at this papaya. Its reddish.
Thats delicious!
I know what to do.
I can make a papaya shake for you.
I also have kiwi and dragon fruit
in the fridge.
Do you want me to blend it?
Oh, dear!
Up until now,
you cant take care of yourself.
Love you.
Why is there no "I"?
Fine, Ill add "I".
But first, you should be my girlfriend.
No! I'm taken.
But okay, I love you.
Eat, eat!
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Hey!
-Hello?
-Did you receive my text?
Where are you?
I explained it to you before.
Didn't we agree to it?
You work for Miguel first.
Try it.
Were in Dubai now, son.
Did you see the comet?
Yes, Dad.
It's so beautiful.
And it's the first night.
It seems like it's not moving.
Miguel and I also talked.
Everything is okay.
Pa.
It only appears every 15 years.
You should make a wish. Hurry!
They say it's bad luck,
but I don't believe them.
It's a blessing for us and your mom.
Who knows?
That might give you a GF.
Hello, Pa? You're choppy.
Hello?
Pa?
You're choppy.
About Miguel.
I'll think about it.
You dont need to think. Please, baby.
It's just temporary.
Trust me on this. Give it six months.
-Four.
-Five.
Four and a half.
Okay. Four and a half.
Ill call Miguel, okay?
Pa, come outside! There's a comet!
Okay, bye. Love you, baby.
Bye, son. See you!
-Love you!
-Love you, Pa.
Really?
Hi, Libra Gurl!
Hello, Aquaman!
I'm Aquarius Boy.
Boy? You're already 21.
I have a baby face.
So, have you graduated?
Yup, Fine Arts.
Wow, artist!
How about you?
Business Ad.
Im actually looking for a job.
I thought you were looking for me.
What a smooth move!
It says here, "Searching for the one."
You're cool, huh?
Not really.
I'm quite boring.
I'm not bored.
For now.
Where are you in Cebu?
Naga.
Isn't that in Bicol?
Is that a joke?
Cam to cam?
Thats too soon!
Well get to that point anyway.
Seize the day!
Game?
Wait. I'm not prepared!
Game?
Game.
On my count,
well turn on the cam together.
Okay?
Okay.
Three, two,
one!
Hey!
Hey!
Youre beautiful.
Thank you.
You're cute.
Sis, wheres my Statistics homework?
Bonbon, please!
Don't you know how to knock?
Your door is open.
Oh, jeez!
Hey, what's that?
Cybersex?
What are you saying? What cyber--
Thats what you get from the Internet!
Im just joking, sis! Relax!
No trash talk. Calm down.
-Trash talk?
-Yeah!
Hey, bro!
Im Troy, by the way.
Is she your girlfriend?
You know what? Get out!
-Get out!
-Hes your boyfriend, isnt he?
Get out! One!
-My Statistics homework!
-Fine! Out, out!
Hey, bro. I'm Troy.
Youre so irritating! Get out.
I'll kick you out!
-Bye, sis!
-Hurry up!
Don't come back.
That kid is so childish!
He's not a kid anymore,
but he still acts as if hes a baby.
You seem like a demanding sister.
You seem nice.
By the way, I'm Alexander.
Just call me Lex.
I'm Karenina.
Just call me Karen.
Hi, Karen!
Hi, Lex!
-Take care of that luggage.
-Slowly.
-Can you handle that, Margaret?
-Wait. Oh, dear.
-Alexander, we're here!
-Son!
Ma! Pa!
Wait a minute.
We still smell like the airport.
Youre feasting on your mom.
Leave me some.
It's been eight days. I need more kisses.
-One more.
-One last.
Leave me some. Hey, wait!
It smells so good in here.
-Youre smelling food again.
-Of course.
Im hungry. We just came from--
-Dried fish.
-Dried fish.
Scrambled egg.
Salted egg.
Fried rice. And, of course, mango juice.
Fresh from the farm.
My favorite!
Oh, madam,
hes been bugging me since last night.
He told me that he's going to prepare
your breakfast.
He even chopped the tomatoes.
He said hell do it himself.
-You didn't help him?
-No, I didn't.
I've got no work to do.
Hey, don't get married yet.
I'm going to lose my baby too soon.
How will you have a grandchild
if youre like that?
I'll just buy you a dog.
You want that, don't you?
-I hope it's a big one, just like you.
-The dog will jump on you.
Miss.
Can you assist me here?
-Miss.
-Yes?
How about this one?
Sorry, sir. Just a moment.
Okay.
It's a 2021 model. Automatic.
The registration is included
when you avail.
The battery and tires are still okay.
Excuse me.
She's not focused on her work.
HOW ARE YOU?
WERE YOU ABLE TO CLOSE A SALE?
IM ON MY WAY
AND WE CAN HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER
Miss!
Miss!
-Can you please assist me here?
-Yes, sir.
Sorry, sorry.
Honestly, Ma,
I feel ashamed. Stepdad Miguel means well.
I know how eager he is to help me out,
but that work isnt really for me.
My child.
I hope you give Miguel a chance.
He just wants to help you.
It's not like that, Ma.
I'm just not comfortable working there.
I'll tell him.
Really?
Thank you, Ma! I love you!
I love you, too.
That place isnt really for me.
Why not?
Okay. Try me.
I'm good at giving advice.
Or
maybe its just not
the right environment for me.
It doesnt excite me.
What excites you?
Me?
What a pick-up line!
You're so sly.
No, but seriously,
do what makes you happy. Right?
Just like now, youre happy.
Huh?
Youre happy because youre talking to me.
Why
Are you okay?
Can I work with you instead?
Okay. Fine.
-Really?
-Yes.
I love you, Papa.
I love you too, baby.
So, Karen, this is my house.
Wow!
Your house has a second floor.
I envy you!
My parents love to travel.
They love souvenirs. Like this one.
It's from Africa.
And there are more downstairs.
I'll show you.
Wait.
-Give me a tour!
-Wait.
-Show me around. Hurry!
-Okay.
Like these. Do you know
where these are from?
These are from different parts of Asia.
-Lucky you.
-And last
I have someone to introduce to you.
Wait.
Thats the start.
Youre overreacting.
Hes a grown man now, okay? Relax.
Do you have a dog? Can I see?
-Can I see him? Hurry!
-Wait.
Youre so slow. Hurry!
-Where?
-Tada!
Meet
Chopper.
-See? My partner in crime.
-Nice. You got your own car.
You know,
I think you and Stepdad Miguel
will get along.
You have the same car color.
As cute as me?
Fine.
-You're cute.
-Like that?
Dimple.
This is a very friendly
neighborhood, ma'am.
Its five minutes away from the market.
Fifteen minutes away
from school and church.
And we have 24-hour security personnel
for your safety.
Total of 140 square meters.
-Floor area
-Mama and Papa have separated.
The usual. They don't get along.
-Good luck!
-The payment is convenient too.
So,
that's the reason why
you dont want to work
-at the used car sales garage?
-Thank you.
Because of your Stepdad Miguel?
Maybe.
First house tour.
You closed the deal right away!
Of course! I got it from my papa.
Congratulations, baby girl!
Thanks, Papa!
Or, simply, I just want to be with my dad.
Theres still plenty of food.
You already ate too many.
Everything seems easy
when I'm with my dad.
Even when I was young,
we always ate together.
Ever since he left home,
I felt like something was missing.
-Good night.
-Good night, son.
Good night, son.
-Good night.
-I am an only child.
My parents are both senior citizens.
I love them so much.
They taught me to be contented
and be thankful.
As simple as waking up in the morning
and you're still alive
It's already a blessing
that you should be thankful for.
Everything that happens has a reason.
There are things
that are hard to understand.
Of course, your mom had a hard time
when your dad left.
But your Stepdad Miguel came. See?
That's how destiny brings people together.
I love Stepdad Miguel.
I have no complaints about him.
He's responsible.
And I know that he loves my mom so much.
But, of course,
I only have one dad.
Of course.
On my seventh birthday,
there was a storm.
They had a fight.
Admit it, Tony!
I already know.
So, just tell the truth!
Is she doing it on purpose?
Why now?
Why dont you admit
that it came from Hazel?
Why dont you believe me
that it wasnt her?
Youve been making me feel stupid!
Ive been working
my butt off in Singapore.
And then this?
Someone delivered a portrait of a woman.
It was for me, but it didnt say
where it came from.
My mom thought that
it came from my dad's mistress.
I mean, from Hazel.
Because the portrait says "Xel".
It was purposely sent on my birthday.
Even before, they always fought over her.
I put the portrait in the storage room,
together with other meaningless trash.
That's where it belonged.
Two weeks later,
they separated.
But you know what?
My dad's mistress died three years ago.
I thought they would get back together.
But
Stepdad Miguel and my mom were together.
Maybe if Stepdad Miguel wasn't there,
they would get back together.
We only live once, Lex.
Is it wrong to wish for a normal family?
Karen.
Hmm?
I'm adopted.
Huh?
I still havent met my real parents.
I don't remember them at all.
My mama and papa were passengers
on the ship, MV Maricar.
And the ship sank because of a typhoon.
Then,
while the ship was sinking,
a married couple
with five children approached them,
asking them to save me
because they couldnt save us all.
I was still a baby then.
They're my real family, Karen.
Ive known these things
since I was in elementary.
My mama and papa
didn't hide anything from me.
Somehow, I'm still lucky.
Let me do it.
They're so kind to me.
I never felt
that I'm alone.
Most of all,
I never felt that
Im not their son.
I love you.
I love you.
I always wonder before I go to sleep,
are my real parents still alive?
Are they looking for me?
What do you think?
Sorry, I made you cry.
I can feel your sadness.
Do you want to be happy?
Huh?
Lets meet soon!
How? Youre too far.
A plane ticket to Manila is quite cheap.
What are we going to do?
I just want to meet your family.
I want to get to know them.
Aunt Pam, your stepdad Miguel, and Bonbon.
Hey!
Don't tell them anything, okay?
Okay.
Game.
Where are we going to meet?
I only know U-belt and Luneta.
Wow!
Luneta?
That's classic.
Where in Luneta? Thats a big place.
Do you know Kilometer Zero?
It's right in front of the Rizal Monument.
There's a centennial clock there.
That's where we'll meet.
Kilometer Zero?
So, we're really starting from zero?
From zero and beyond.
From zero and beyond.
Nice!
Okay. What's your phone number?
Is that necessary?
Let's just talk here.
Just in case theres no Internet.
Okay.
How about you?
This is my first time doing this.
Me too!
Don't kidnap me, okay?
Why dont you kidnap me instead?
Okay. See you!
See you!

Sir
Sir, excuse me.
I think shes no longer coming.
Do you have a wife?
Me? No, I don't have one yet.
How about a girlfriend?
I have a girlfriend,
but she doesn't know about it yet.
I'm still courting her.
What's this?
You can have it.
I can have this?
Thats special. Its from Cebu.
-Really? Are you sure?
-Yes.
Thank you!
How dare you!
Me? Why me?
I've been waiting for you for two hours!
Youve been saying that you live in Cebu,
but what if you just live here,
in Morayta?
Wait a minute.
What do you mean?
I've been waiting for you
for two hours last night.
Youre a poser!
What?
What do you mean two hours?
I am the one
who waited for you for two hours.
What? If you really came last night,
why didn't you send me a message?
Like, "Im here now. Where are you?"
Karen, I've been calling you
so many times.
There was no signal,
and the number you gave me was wrong.
What?
You're the one
who gave me the wrong number.
Wait, I'll send you something.
Check this out!
Wait.
Here, take a look.
So, why didn't I see you?
Why didn't I see you, too?
I dont know!
Maybe because you didn't show up.
What do you mean I didn't show up?
Look, Im here, in Manila.
Here, look!
What can you say?
Theres a place like that in Cebu!
You didn't show up, period!
Karen, you're the one who didn't show up.
Oh, my God!
Okay.
Let's just forget about this.
It looks like you don't have
any intention of admitting it.
Fine. Okay.
Make up for this!
Tonight, 7:00 p.m.,
at Kilometer Zero, in front of the clock!
Goodbye!
Hey!
Lovers quarrel?
Hey, what's going on?
Relationship problems, Mom.
Grown-ups.

Please check the number and dial again.
Sir, do you like some roses?
Please buy some. Please buy all of these.
Ma'am, there might be an emergency again.
So, how was the tour, sir?
Did you like the unit?
What do you think, honey?
This is okay for us.
By next week, let's settle the papers,
so it'll be quick.
Thank you, Sir Villanueva! Maam,
-thank you!
-Thank you.
I told you it fits everything you need.
You can call me Paco.
You look familiar.
Have we met?
I'm not sure, Sir Paco.
I have a lot of clients lately.
By the way, thank you again. Thank you!
-Thank you so much!
-Thank you.
You're welcome. See you soon, okay?
Yes.
-I'll wait for your call.
-Okay.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Make a wish.
Make a wish.
Happy birthday, baby!
I HOPE YOU LIKE I-Hi, Karen! Happy birthday!
-Thank you!
-Its time to eat.
-Okay.
Mom, was there a delivery for me?
Delivery? The cake.
Who was it from?
Who else? Its from your Dad.
Pam!
Happy birthday to your daughter!
Have you eaten?
You have so many guests.
How was it, baby?
Are you happy with your party?
Why?
Baby.
What happened?
I'm okay, Papa.
I'm happy that you're here.
Baby.
Soon,
you will understand.
Your mom and I are happy
with what we have now.
I still love her.
She loves me.
Whatever kind of love we have now,
we're good with that.
And we're contented with it.
Love doesn't mean
being there all the time.
Love is more than that.
WE LOVE YOU!
You know what? If you have nothing to say,
then Ill just turn this off.
Belated happy birthday!
That's all? Youre done?
Youre so confusing!
Im confusing?
Really? Please, Lex!
Are you bored?
Is that why you're talking to me?
Is that why you're playing me around?
You gave me a gift? You, jerk!
-Hey, foul!
-What foul?
25B Ilang-Ilang Street, Marikina City.
-So, what now?
-What do you mean "what now"?
That's where I had your gift sent
five days ago.
Lex, enough, please.
Enough of this!
I accepted your call for you
to stop playing me around!
Okay? Not me! Stop fooling me!
That's all? You don't plan to apologize?
Apologize? Me?
Me? Apologize to you?
Lex, why are you doing this?
Are you bored?
Why are you fooling me?
Do I look gullible? Am I dumb?
You're so annoying!
Karen,
sit down.
Please.
Sit down. Let's talk.
Please?
You said you went there twice, right?
Me too, twice.
Hey, wait.
Don't talk yet. Okay?
Let's talk about this.
Let's clear this up.
Did you really go to Kilometer Zero?
Oh? Wait.
Don't get mad yet.
The answer is yes or no.
Let's try to clarify
everything that happened.
Let's clear this up because maybe
we just missed each other.
So, did you really go to Kilometer Zero?
Yes.
Manila, Kilometer Zero.
There you go.
Very good. Let's talk calmly.
Okay? No shouting.
Uhm
Which part of Kilometer Zero
did you go to?
In front of the Centennial Clock.
Good. Me too. Thats where I went.
Okay, next.
Did you go there at 7:00 p.m.?
Not 7:00 a.m. but 7:00 p.m.
I told you.
Seven p.m., night. Its dark. Okay?
-I took a selfie, right?
-Wait.
Calm down. Okay?
Calm down. Just relax.
You just celebrated your birthday,
and now youre hot-tempered.
Dont match the storm outside.
Storm? Its your fault!
Just calm down. Calm down.
Okay, next.
The first one was September 14th.
Second, September 15th.
Fourteenth and 15th.
Maybe you went there on a different date,
that's why we didn't see each other.
Yes.
September 14, Saturday.
September 15, Sunday.
What?
September 14 is a Monday.
-Then, September 15 is a Tuesday.
-So, the dates arent matched, too?
Wait!
Here! Read it!
Read it. Here.
Wait.
14, Saturday.
Here.
15, Sunday?
Are we good?
Wait! Wait.
Now, you read it.
Read this, Karen. Okay?
September 14, Monday.
September 15, Tuesday.
See?
Okay?
So, its Monday and Tuesday.
Wow!
Hey, what's your problem?
Whats wrong with you?
Your calendar is old! It's from 2009!
Is this a prank?
Huh?
Yes, it is 2009.
Its year 2009 now.
What? 2009?
2024!
Are you crazy?
Look!
Here.
2024?
Hey!
Hey.
Hey!
You're in Marikina, right?
This again?
Can you
open the window? Let me see the outside.
What are you thinking?
Come on, please.
Wait!
Here!
What's this about?
Are we good?
Wait. Look at this.
Look at this.
Earlier, in an emergency meeting
that was scheduled
by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,
-Defense Secretary
-Whats this?
Prank? Your set-up is amazing!
Rescue operations are underway
in the towns of Marikina,
Cainta, Pasig, and other neighborhoods.
More than 20 rubber boats
and 20 six-by-six trucks
have been deployed to these places
to save people--
Karen,
I've been wanting to talk to you
about this since last night.
Because Metro Manila
is experiencing a typhoon now,
the Typhoon Ondoy.
And the entire Metro Manila
is in a state of calamity,
and Marikina is flooded.
It's only 2009 here, so, I guess,
its 2024 there?
I'm still not convinced.
I still need proof.
If I need a proof,
it should come from you.
Huh? Why me?
Youre in the future.
I can't give you anything
that you can't research
because I'm in the past.
So, it should be something
that hasnt happened here yet.
Whoo!
It's weird, but it's cool.
Okay.
What proof do you want?
What will happen here tomorrow?
I don't know.
Think of what can happen here tomorrow
that was recorded on the Internet
or in the newspapers.
Something like that.
Tomorrow?
September 27, 2009.
Lotto!
For sure, there is an online record
of the lotto results tomorrow.
Okay, game!
Wait. Uhm
September 27, 2009.
Lotto results.
Gotcha!
Some of the victims
drifted away from the river
and were never again seen
by their loved ones.
Ten of these people
were taken away by the Marikina river,
including six kids.
The cemetery has a list of their clothes
and some of the victims' identification.
My Lord, have mercy. Poor people.
Papa, after the typhoon,
we need to help them.
Check where we can donate.
Yes, Mama.
Of course, you need to find them.
So, if someone is looking,
we tell them the whereabouts rightaway.
Wait!
-It's news time!
-Pa, wait.
Just a minute. One minute, please.
Please.
And the lucky number combination
for lotto tonight,
for 16 million pesos,
September 27, 2009, is
Son, when did you start playing the lotto?
Wait. Okay?
Here are the numbers that will be drawn.
-Forty-two.
-Forty-two.
-Forty.
-Forty!
Forty.
-Zero four.
-Zero four!
Zero four.
-Thirty.
-Thirty!
Thirty.
-Forty-six.
-Forty-six!
Forty-six.
And the last number is
-Thirty-five.
-Thirty-five!
Thirty-five!
Thank you, Lord!
We won!
We won!
And we have
No winner.
No winner!
Yes! Yes!
-Yes!
-Why didnt you place a bet?
You didnt play.
I just made a guess.
-What? You guessed?
-My God!
I thought you placed a bet.
You shouted as if you placed a bet.
Yes!
What a waste!
What a waste.
We could have used it as donation.
That's why I couldn't contact you.
I was just seven years old that time.
Why couldn't I contact you?
Weird.
Wait. What's your Facebook account?
Friendster?
Friendster? Friendster is gone.
Where are you going?
What?
How did that happen?
What
Karen, you can ride with me.
No, thank you! I already booked a ride.
Bye!
How will I have social media
when I don't even have
a cell phone then, right?
Are you on Facebook?
Wait, wait.
So, you're going
to look for me in my future?
Yes.
I dont want to look at my future.
And you'll find out
what I look like by then.
If I'm still alive, right?
Huh? Why would you die?
Are you sick?
No. You cant predict the future.
Because I might suddenly
get eaten whole by a shark.
Or I might get hit by a train.
I might be gone.
Hey, knock on wood!
So, if you're already 36 here,
maybe we never really met.
Maybe you already have a family here.
Okay, but keep it to yourself.
Alexander Ramos.
Karen, I'll say it again.
Whatever you find out there,
please keep it to yourself.
Okay.
Since we don't know what will happen
and until when,
let's leave it at that.
Carpe Diem!
-Seize the day!
-Seize the day!
Karen, what's going to happen
to the world in the next 15 years?
I have many stories to tell you.
Brace yourself.
Sir, take care of that.
Thank you!
I'll follow in a while.
Just wait a bit, Ms. Karen.
Okay, sir.
Here!
All done. Thank you, Sir Paco.
Thank you. I'll go ahead.
Take care.
Sir, I thought you're an architect.
Yeah, why?
I just got confused.
Usually, only seafarers
have miniature ships.
That's a miniature of MV Maricar.
The ship MV Maricar.
MV Maricar?
Yes.
It sank in 1988.
I was just four years old then.
Luckily, someone saved me,
but I never saw my family after that.
But it's like a miracle
that I met one of my brothers.
He survived.
So, I decided to have it made
for my parents,
for my other siblings,
that I never saw again.
Just to remind me of them.
Hoping that some of them
are still alive now.
How many siblings do you have, sir?
Five.
While the ship was sinking,
a married couple with five children
approached them.
They begged to save me
because they couldnt save us all.
I was still a baby then.
They're my real family, Karen.
Did you have a baby sibling that time?
Yes. Hes the one I met, Philip.
Hes the youngest. Why?
Philip?
Philip Villanueva.
But he now uses the name Alexander Ramos.
Long story.
You mean Lex?
Do you know my brother?
Where is your brother now?
He's now based in Italy.
He's working there.
So, you know each other?
So, did you meet?
Yeah, he found me in 2009.
He said someone gave him
some info about me.
Wait.
When did you meet in 2009, sir?
Actually,
itll be next week, but in 2009.
It's been 15 years already.
Are you okay, Ms. Karen?
Sorry.
Sorry, sir.
Sorry, I have to go.
Joaquin Villanueva.
You'll meet him next week, Lex. 2009.
You found him.
You found him, Karen.
I don't know.
It just happened.
I have a big brother.
IM JOAQUIN VILLANUEVA. WHOS THIS?
Hello. Are you the one who messaged?
Hi! Yes.
I'm Lex. Alexander Ramos.
Are you also a survivor?
Come in, son.
Son, is there a problem?
-Huh?
-Pa.
Lex?
Um, Karen, Bonbon.
You know how much I love your mama.
And we have already talked to your dad.
And we have decided
to get married next year.
Yes!
Long overdue!
-Congrats, Ma!
-Thank you!
What month next year?
Nothing yet, just next year.
Congrats!
Congrats, Stepdad Miguel!
Thank you!
Do we need to reach this point?
It's my future!
Karen, I think it's wrong.
No!
We found your brother, right? See?
It's okay.
Maybe thats why this is happening to us.
For us to correct something in our past.
So, what?
Its fine with you
that a family will be broken,
even if you can do something to avoid it?
Who said that
your family is broken, Karen?
Aunt Pam and your stepdad Miguels
relationship is good.
Why do we need to do this?
Lex, you don't understand me!
We can still be complete again,
and you're the only one who can do that!
Please?
Just this one time.
Promise.
So, what do you plan to do?
My papa!
Dear Mr. Lopez,
you don't know me,
but I hope youll believe
what I'm about to say.
I saw what would happen to your future.
Your family will be broken.
But you can avoid that
if you ask for forgiveness from your wife
and promise to fix your relationship.
This is for your children.
Future Guy.
Karen, after this,
let's go to the stockroom.
Help Mommy there.
Okay, Mama.
Hey, sis,
there's still breakfast on the table.
Hurry up. We might be late!
Yes, we'll be there
by 10:00 a.m., for sure.
What?
Karen, get dressed now!
Okay, 48 bottles. Are you sure?
Thank you so much, my regular client!
Ma, wheres Papa?
Bonbon.
Condolence, Karen.
Ma?
Papa!
Papa became an alcoholic, Lex.
He died three years ago.
Liver failure.
Sorry, I tried to help,
but I never thought it would lead to this.
Papas gone.
It's my fault!
I shouldn't have asked you!
I shouldn't have meddled!
It's all my fault!
Karen
maybe it's not too late.
He's still alive in my timeline.
My Mama, my Mama.
She's going through everything alone.
Mamas alone, Lex.
Wait.
Didn't you say that your mom and dad
had a major fight
because of the portrait?
When was that again?
Maybe we can use that to stop it.
It's gone. It was my birthday.
It's over.
Wait.
Mama.
Good afternoon!
Yes?
This is for Mrs. Pamela Lopez.
Delivery from Cakes and Sweets.
Maybe the address is wrong.
I didn't order a cake.
I didn't make a mistake
because it says
25B Ilang-Ilang Street, Marikina City.
This is for you--
Ma'am.
Who sent this?
Ma'am, there's nothing written on the box.
I think they didnt put it there.
But there's something written
on the cake that says
"Happy Family Day!"
Then,
"Love, your husband and your children."
Did you open it?
I just helped with the icing, ma'am.
That's all. Okay, ma'am.
-Thank you!
-Thank you, ma'am!
Is it Family Day today?
Someone sent a cake.
Wow! There's a cake!
Bonbon, theres a cake!
Karen.
Sis!
Breakfast is ready.
Come, let's eat!
Hows baby Miguel?
Let's eat, babe.
-Bonbon?
-Sis, lets eat.
Papa's on the way.
I'll ride with him to the highway.
By the way, sis.
Mama's attorney will call later.
The hearing will proceed next week.
What hearing?
Youre the one who follows up
Mamas case in Singapore, right?
Bonbon got someone pregnant.
Mama is in prison.
Papa's alive.
They're not separated.
But
I don't know why this is happening, Lex.
I don't know what to do.
I just want us all to be together.
Give me three days.
I'll try to get you guys back together.
For the last time, trust me.
Philip?
Lex?
My youngest brother!
Joaquin.
Ma?
-There's breakfast on the table.
-Bonbon!
Sis, Im wet. I just came from the shower.
Ma?
Ma?
Yes?
Are you okay?
Stepdad Miguel?
I think I want to cook squid.
Yes! My favorite!
Stepdad Miguel, let me help you.
Ma?
Lex, where are you?
Pa,
I'm here in the stockroom now.
Baby, the yellow envelope.
It says it's for CBA.
Okay, I'll call you later.
Thanks, baby!
Gotcha!
Okay.

Lex?
25B Ilang-Ilang Street, Marikina City.
That's where I sent
your gift five days ago.
Sis, my Statistics homework!
Bonbon, youre annoying!
Don't you know how to knock?
-I'll kick you out!
-Bye, sis!
Oh, God.
Just relax, Ma. It'll be okay.
Maam, sir! Paco is here.
He's also handsome!
Ma, Pa.
My older brother.
Good afternoon.
Everything that comes to our lives
is a blessing
that we should be thankful for.
Mama, Papa,
and now, my brother.
I don't have anything else to ask for.
Thank you, Karen.
Lex is right.
Nothing needs to be changed.
You just need to be contented
and love those who love you.
Hey, you made a wish!
Stepdad Miguel,
why did you choose Mama?
I love her.
How do you know if
you really love someone?
I'll tell you a story.
I didn't tell this to your mom.
You're the only one who will know this.
But this is our secret.
Come here.
I met someone before.
He was selling this blue car to me.
He said
he's from the future.
Chopper?
He came to me with this car.
He was selling it to me.
He said,
50% off.
But there's a deal.
What deal?
He said, two years from now,
2011,
I will meet a woman in a bazaar.
Her name is Pamela.
Shes selling gourmet dried fish.
You need to buy gourmet dried fish,
three bottles, the spicy one.
That's the deal.
At first, I was thinking,
"What is this? A joke?"
Or someone crazy whos bored
with his money.
But
when I saw your mom,
it's true that time slowed down.
Its like I really wanted
to hear her voice.
And then I learned that she's separated
and she has two babies,
you and Bonbon.
But I simply didn't care.
She accepted me even though
I cant give her kids.
She said that you and Bonbon
are enough for her.
And she will take care of the three of us.
Karen,
you accepted me wholeheartedly
in your lives.
And maybe that's what love is.
To love and accept the person you love,
whoever the person is,
or whatever the person is.
It's magic.
You know, Karen,
the reason why I want you
to work with me in the garage
is because I want to get closer to you.
I know that I can't replace your dad
in your heart.
But we can be family.
Right?
Because I love all of you.
I love you, Dada.
I love you, Dada.
What did you call me?
Dada.
I'm sorry, Dada.
I'm sorry.
Ma.
How are you?
You know, 30 years ago,
your dad and I were also here,
looking at it.
We closed our eyes at the same time.
We smiled at the same time.
You were happy earlier.
And that happiness is immeasurable.
That's how we felt
when you came into our lives.
Lex,
you will always be our son.
Ma.
I love you and Dad so much.
And if
my real parents were alive,
the love I have for you will not change.
And Ma,
when I saw my brother Paco yesterday,
its like something
had been added to my life.
And it was so light.
So light.
That's also how I felt
when you came into my life.
You made us complete.
Son.
Family is not about being blood-related.
Its about whats inside the heart.
I love you.
I love you.
So, what now?
We're already two in your heart.
Is that okay?
Huh?
Wait a minute.
Why is--
Why is Chopper not in the garage?
It wasn't in the garage.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I was the reason
why your parents separated.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
I didn't know it would come to this.
I shouldn't
have sent your portrait.
I wish it didn't happen.
Sorry.
You didn't know.
I'm not mad at you.
Besides,
you're the one who found a way
to make everything back to normal, right?
You even went to Dada Miguel.
You even sold Chopper.
I want to give you
a happy and complete family, Karen.
You did, Lex.
You did it.
Youre not mad?
I'm not mad at you.
We tried so many times
to change my future,
but it still stays the same.
Maybe all of this
was meant to happen, Lex.
You,
me,
Stepdad Miguel--
I mean, Dada,
the portrait.
I kept looking for a change,
but I didn't see how happy Mama,
Bonbon,
Dada, and even Papa
were with what we have now.
I didn't see that
there's nothing to change.
Thank you, Lex.
Thank you.
Bro.
-Bro.
-Little bro,
can I just stay here?
The other room is too big. It's scary.
-Sure.
-Oops.
-Sorry.
-Karen, it's my brother.
My brother Paco.
Bro, this is Karen.
Hello.
Hi, sir--
Hi, Bro Paco.
Don't take him too seriously.
He's a charmer.
But he's handsome, right?
Go now, brother. Go there, over there.
Well sleep next to each other. Quick.
Bye, Karen. I'll be right back.
Wow!
So weird!
I have another surprise.
Huh?
It's not over yet?
I think my heart
cant take it anymore, Lex.
Come on.
Game?
Game.
I'll send you a picture. Wait for it.
After I went to your stepdad Miguel,
I went to Marikina.
I went to see you.
And
we saw each other.
I told you something.
Souvenir from the past.
Souvenir?
Souvenir.
Just take care of it.
Take care of it. Don't lose it.
And when you're 22 years old,
and it's still with you
you'll get lucky.
Oh, it has magic?
Bonbon!
Sis, what's that?
Bonbon, I have an amulet.
Thank you! What's your name?
Aquaman.
Thank you, Aquaman!
Let's take a picture, okay?
Come on, Bonbon.
Let's take a picture with Aquaman.
Game.
One, two, three, smile!
Youre Aquaman?
Did you get lucky?
Magic.
Last chance.
Kilometer Zero.
Monday, 7:00 p.m.
Let's meet.
Even if we dont actually meet,
just the same time.
In my time,
in your time.
In the same place,
at the same time.
Let's be there at the same time,
and think that we're together.
Let's close our eyes at the same time.
I'll hold your hand.
Together.
At the same time.
In our own times.
Let's be one.
And let's wait for the magic.
Magic?
Hi, Karen.
Lex?
How are you?
Flowers?
Otap, fresh from Cebu.
It waited for 15 years.
A lot has happened in 15 years.
A lot has changed.
But what I feel for you, Karen,
when I first saw you
stays
here.
You're always with me.
I always feel connected with you.
Great job, Mr. Ramos!
Whos this woman in all of your works?
Shes my future.
Beautiful!
Yes.
In everything I think and do,
you're always there, Karen.
You became part of my life.
September 14 and 15.
Why didn't you see me, then?
I've always been here, Karen.
Always.
September 14, 2024. Saturday.
I really wanted to approach you.
September 15, 2024. Sunday.
I really wanted to hug you and tell you
that I'm here, Karen.
But I couldn't.
If I met you earlier
and I didnt wait,
a lot of things might not have happened.
Maybe this wouldn't have happened either.
A lot of what ifs
in those 15 years.
A lot of questions. A lot of hopes
that we could have met
in the same timeline.
I wish I was there when you graduated
to celebrate with you.
I thought you had a meeting.
You're more important, my love.
-Congrats!
-Thank you, my love!
Yes, I'm on my way now. Yes, okay.
See you. Bye!
-Ill take that.
-Ill do it.
-Sorry, sorry.
-Let me carry these.
Hello, I'm almost there.
Yes. Okay, thank you!
Gosh, wait!
Love, theres no rain yet.
Love, its drizzling. See, look.
Don't you have work today?
No, my boss is sick.
-Thank you!
-Love, let's look for
I wish I was there
when you were looking for a job.
I'll go with you wherever,
no matter what.
I'll do everything for you, Karen.
Congrats!
Thank you!
You know what?
You're my lucky charm.
You are my lucky charm.
Thank you!
I wish I was there when you
closed your first deal in real estate
to tell you how brilliant you are
in everything that you do.
I wish I was there when you were sad,
so that I could show you
that I'm always here.
That I will never leave you,
no matter what.
Never, Karen.
Here you go.
This is hot.
One more? It's hot.
I wish
you and I
until the end.
Now,
I'm different.
I'm scared that--
Lex.
Fifteen years.
You waited for me for 15 years.
Karen, even if it's 20 years,
I'd still wait for you.
As long as it's you.
Nothing has changed.
Alexander Ramos,
you're still my Aquaman.
Karenina Lopez
youre still my Libra Gurl.
So, what's next?
Where do we start?
From zero and beyond?
From zero and beyond.
Among the billions
of people in this world,
if you belong together,
destiny will find a way.
You dont need to look for them
because they will come at the right time.
