We just need to.

You're so excited to get to Angeles.

What time are we going back home?

We won't take long.

Know what? I'd rather
that we stay overnight.

Why?

I wanna go to the red light
district of Angeles...

Fields Avenue

The row of girly joints?

Not there, there's a row of
mate (hosto) bars over there.

...and they're all so good looking...

there's Filipino-American, black
& white, pure blooded Filipino...

Name it, there's a boy just right for you.

The right color for you.

You're so naughty.

There... I got you excited.

We should get some change
now... enough for later.

Slut.

There... I did a great job
on your false eyelashes.

You're a gorgeus woman
once again you fag hag.

Ouch. Shit.

Oh why?

Just acting.

You know, when I was your age...

I was the most popular
prostitute around Clark.

Wow. You should try
drinking coffee like Eva...

...to be a little nervous about what you say.

It's true... In fact, they pay
me in Dollars for my vagina.

Oh yes. Dollars for your farting vagina.

How about you Eva? We're you also
popular to Americans before?

Of course.

Oh yes Eva. When she was younger,
she was deprived of beauty.

Even the pedophiles won't hire her.

Well, that's very true.

Thanks to papaya and glutathione...
my inner beauty came out.

Oh yeah.

Now that you have the money... a
beauty parlor... videoke bar...

...you can now afford to buy all
the glutathione in the market.

Huh. Yes, she has a parlor, a videoke
bar... but look at her eye bags.

It's bigger than my pants pockets.

Oh, I am so embarrassed...

I am so embarrassed by your beauty.

But you know what Eva... I idolize you.

With how hard you work... I bet
you now have a lot of savings.

I hope I could also have
a business like yours.

Don't worry, with your hard working
vagina, your dreams will come true.

But my vagina isn't up there, it's here.

Sorry...
- That's alright.

Hey Maxi. How's it going?
Is my sister Eva around?

Oh. Oh my baby, you really
are a beautiful baby.

Hey Eva, is he really your brother?
I thought he's your boyfriend.

Why don't you just make him
work as hosto in your bar?

Why? Just so you can have him?

Why not? I am a paying customer.

Don't put your good looks to waste,
earn from it. Work as hosto.

My wife won't let me
work for my sister, Eva.

Here's the money, I texted
mom how much is in it.

And this is for my baby... You're so cute.

Ok, we won't stay long... we gotta go.

Ok, you bring her back here soon
so I can give her another present.

Hey Eva, pls introduce me to your brother.

Don't be such a slut.

Hey, can I get your number?

My cellphone is with my wife.

I'll buy you the latest model.

You go now and work.

And you... what are you doing here?

You go ahead to the bar; I will
just shower then follow you.

Ok bye.

Bye ugly.

DJ: Great. We have another caller. Hello.

CALLER: Hi Mr. Fu.

DJ: Sweet. What's your name?

CALLER: I'm Danzen.

DJ: Danzen... What's
your problem Danzen?

CALLER: Mr. Fu, I got a
problem. I'm still a virgin.

CALLER: I haven't had a boyfriend.

DJ: It's doesn't sound so.

DJ: Your voice sounds like you've
already had many experiences.

DJ: So why are you still
a virgin at your age?

CALLER: It's because no one has ever
courted me yet. I haven't had a boyfriend.

DJ: I guess it only means
one thing. You're ugly.

CALLER: Oh no. People
say I'm pretty and sexy.

DJ: Who said so?

CALLER: All my friends.

DJ: They're all liars.
And you believed them?

DJ: Maybe they borrow money from you?

CALLER: Oh no. I'm really pretty.

DJ: Ok, what is it you are looking
for in man? Why can't you find him?

CALLER: Well, it's very
simple. I want someone buffed.

CALLER: Someone with a big body.

CALLER: Not so tall,
and also hard and stiff.

DJ: Fabulous. We like the same thing.
I think I got all the man you want.

CALLER: I mean hard and
stiff when you embrace him.

DJ: Oh, what you're looking
for is not hard to find

DJ: Now that most men
go to gym regularly.

DJ: Why don't you search from the gym?

CALLER: I tried searching
everywhere but I failed.

DJ: I don't get it. How about traits and
attitude... do you want the bad boys?

CALLER: No, I want the
simple ones, shy and quiet.

CALLER: But when it's just
the two of us. he's otherwise.

DJ: Is there a construction
site in your neighborhood?

DJ: You try searching over there;
you'll find a lot of choices there.

CALLER: Oh yes. why not?

CALLER: But there's something
else I haven't told you Mr. Fu.

DJ: Then say it. You're
airtime is getting longer. Go.

CALLER: Well Mr. Fu, despite that
I'm sexy, pretty girl, I'm...

DJ: What.

CALLER: I'm not completely a woman yet.

DJ: Oh my. You're a mermaid.

DJ: Gosh. You're just
getting off the water now.

DJ: You're hilarious. But you're
a woman now but not operated yet.

DJ: Just be positive and you will
attract the man that's right for you.

DJ: Who knows, even when
you're not operated yet.

DJ: you will find a great
construction worker.

CALLER: Thanks Mr. Fu. how about
you and me? Are we a match?

DJ: Oh my. Lesbianism.

(Laughters)

NARRATION: Everyday... I
wait for the sun to set.

Every 4PM, when all the rest are
sweaty and getting ready to go home.

My day is just beginning.

Here, 25 cents each.

What do you want when
I come back home?

Jollibee

Jollibee it is. I'll bring you some
later. Now, you go back home...

Sarah, please hand me my bag.

Marge. Is Kristel home?

She's not here. She left early.

She has to attend to a rich white guy.

Hey sister, here's your bag. Hi Edgardo.

For sure, you'll make money later.

Because Kristel will just
pay the money she earned.

Oh no. I don't charge her.

I don't believe you.

NARRATION: I need to be smelling good
all the time... and looking good.

Hey guys. C'mon in and sing.

Hey Eva. How has it been?

From salon to your bar.
You're such a workaholic.

Well that's the story of my life...

Parlor during daytime, prostitute at night...

Ok... I'll go ahead. I don't wanna be late.

We always open late.
- Good evening Boss.

That's why we don't earn as much.
- You look good in pink.

Mommy, may I work here again?

You're alive again.

I had a domestic problem
that's why I was gone.

What can I do but to
accept you with open arms.

I know that you couldn't resist me.

Yes, I'll take you back
because you still owe me money.

You gotta work for it.

Don't worry mommy, I'll make
the bar make more money.

You better. Make sure you'll
make your old clients come back.

Who isn't here yet Jodi?

Who else Boss but Edgardo.

Do we still have beer?

We got 12 cases left from last night.

Let me know when its halt way gone
so we can replenish immediately.

Yes Boss.

How about the pork crackers?

We still got 2 dozens.
That should be enough.

Look at this mess, you fix this.

Yes boss I will.
- These peanuts... Crackers...

Boss. I brought my cousin
who wants to work here.

Let me have a look.

He's alright.

You sit down. I will just call our HR head.

You have an orientation later.

He's Perfect. Great.

What is it that Edgardo
wants from me again?

Cash. What else.

He only remembers me
when he's got no money.

Oh my. Where have you been?

There was a fleet of
white guys around earlier.

I was just home.

You would have made tons of money.

Now look, we only got poor
and drunk ones around.

Correct. Bad.

Why? What do you need
from me? I got no money.

No. That's not my problem.

Why are you resigning?

I have a client but I got my period.

Alright. Who is it?

Oh. He's very handsome.

Girl, that client might be old and sick.

No, no. You'll fall for him I'm sure.

Hmp. Is he around?

Yes. I'm sure he'll be around later.

You give me his number.
- Alright.

Inside the club?
- Go.

Hey girl... Is he here yet?

He's at the dance floor.

Which one?

Just look.

Is it that one?

That one.
- The one in the middle.

NARRATION: Even when I earn big,
I can't spend the money here.

NARRATION: I would if my client takes me.

NARRATION: A bottle of
beer here costs 300 Pesos.

NARRATION: With that money, you
can have 6 bottles in our bar.

NARRATION: You still got change.

NARRATION: And we're right
just across that street.

Hey you. Come here.

I gotta orient you now.

In this business, work is simple.

You are our guest relations officers.

That means, you need to
entertain our guests.

You are like salesmen, selling your face...

...your body... your smile.

When you're requested
to sit with customer...

you gotta do what you are told to do.

When they hold you, let them.

When you're told to dance... dance.

That's how it should be in this business.

When you're told to take off
your shirt... you take it off.

When you're told to unzip
your pants, you do it.

You must entice them... allure them.

But NO stripping all the way.

You must make them slip
cash into your jock strap.

And for each cash slipped, I get 30%.

You gotta keep ordering, because you
get percentage in each bottle you get.

That's why you must learn to drink a lot.

And when they want to bring you out...

They must pay bar fine.
And that's just for me.

Your extra pay depends
on your agreement.

They can take you to hotel, to their
homes, or sometimes just in their car.

But no matter where they take
you. you must come back to work.

You are not to choose customer.

Look around you. Anyone
of them is a customer.

It could be matrons, gay guys,
young ones, ladies, lesbians, men.

You must take care of anyone of them.

Business is slow in the early evening.

First batch to come are the cheap drunks.

Next are the generous gays at midnight.

You keep the timings in mind.

At around 2am, the big time female
prostitutes come from work.

Coming from the bars across.

NARRATION: New boys come
almost every night.

NARRATION: Easy come... easy go.

NARRATION: Others don't come
back when taken out by clients.

Hi boss, sorry I'm late.

So what's you're alibi this time Edgardo?

Cora asked me to accompany her.

Are you jealous?

Your girlfriend is always
affecting your work.

It's our anniversary tomorrow,
may I have cash advance?

Oh my.
- I promised to take her out.

I didn't get anything from you on my
birthday, even bougainvillea flowers.

I gave you a kiss.

Oh yeah. Kiss on my cheeks.

What boss? Can you give me cash?

I promise to work for it this
week. I just need 1.000 Pesos.

I know that if I don't give in,
you won't come back her again.

Ok you get it from me tomorrow,
cash drawer is still empty.

Thank you, boss.

Ok. Ok. Go work and start
paying your cash advance.

Hurry up Edgardo, Kristel is
here. Don't forget my barfine.

I had a great time.

It was fantastic.

This is for you.

Really? Oh, thank you.

At least I can pay for my
tuition so I can take my exams.

OK.

Don't worry, I'll study harder so I
can entertain you again in your hotel.

Bye.

I'll see you again.

Sure.

Drive safely. Call me.

Bye baby. I love you.

You made big bucks again Kristel.

Quit it. I don't have time
for cheap ones like you.

Where's Edgardo?

Edgardo again.

Why are you drunk again?

So what? I have the right to have fun.

What are you drinking about this time?

I feel horny.

So what do you want now?

There's a welcome sign there.
I think we should go inside.

OK, just pay me 1.000 Pesos.

I can do that.

NARRATION: What else can you ask for?

NARRATION: You get full pleasure
and the cash payment to do it.

NARRATION: and a part-time girlfriend.

NARRATION: Come to think
of it. I got a good life.

NARRATION: Easy life.

You call out for customers. Do it well.

Leila. Leila. Come over here.

Oh my. Is that really you
Leila? You look so different.

You're unbelievable.

Gosh. This place is difficult to find.

How's Germany?

Just fine.

I envy you. You live a comfortable life.

While I still have to work like a horse.

May I touch?

Tell me what you felt?

You are now the real Eve. I'm so envious.

How much did you spend
for the operation?

Around Php 500.000.00

That is too much.

I can never have that.

No matter how many times I sell
our family's properties...

...I would be able to afford
that. I really envy you.

That's why find a boyfriend
who will sponsor you.

What can I do, no one falls for me.

Because you're wasting your
time to those useless boys.

Don't say that. These boys may not be
wealthy... but they have good hearts.

Yeah right... If I know, they
even borrow money from you.

You know Leila, what's important is
I earn from them and we survive.

Whatever. Wait, where the toilet?

That side.

Excuse me, I mean the LADIES' room.

Alright. I know you have a
real vagina now. This side.

Thanks.

Hey you guys... you take care of
the bar. I will go home for a while.

Thanks. Here's my payment.

Can you still do another round?

I'm pretty tired.

If you do, I'll pay you again.

C'mon here's another thousand.

All right. Let's try.

And what's the meaning of this?

Why are you back early?

Get out of here. You move to the bathroom.

How about you? Do you want service?

Oh, maybe next time, I have my period.

C'mon let's continue in the bathroom.

Why do you seem so dolled up?

Are you going to the church?

No. I'm seeing Edgardo.

Wow, date?

Yes. It's our monthsary.

Really? How many months now?

Six months.

You're really lucky and beautiful.

My girlfriend is really beautiful.

What are you wearing? You seem
like a campaigning councilor.

Crazy.

And if you really are, you're a sure winner.

That's why I don't get it why I am still
with him. I have a lot of competition.

But she's the only one I love.

Pls don't make me hear
that. I feel even lonelier.

Oh Mommy, you're up so early.

It's because of Maxi's loud mouth.

Loud mouth? We're just whispering here.

Here's what you asked for last night.

I'm ok now Mommy, I got earned some
last night. My date's covered.

Alright, just use this card for discount.

This is great. 50% discount
for motel. Thanks.

Just give it back to me. We may
be able to use that together.

This looks good. Thanks
Maxi. We'll go ahead.

Bye Eva. Bye Mommy.

Enjoy? You faker. I can see in
your eyes that you're affected.

That's how gay-in-love really is.

If you can't afford Kim, just
pray and hope he'll like you too.

I don't get you. You always drink coffee
but you don't wake up to reality.

It is clear that you have no
space in Edgardo's heart.

Even more in his briefs.

Why don't you just find me a white guy?

Maybe I'm destined to be with a foreigner.

Why don't you learn to use the internet?
Maybe there, you'll find your future.

Also team to expose your fake boobs.

If you were to choose? At
what age would you marry?

Maybe 25 or before I turn 30.

Of course, by then I should
have enough savings...

and my siblings are done with school.

As for me, I'd marry the
woman I love anytime.

Don't be too serious. We're still young.

There's a lot more to achieve in life.

It's hot out here. Don't you feel it?

Do you want to move to
room with air conditioner?

NARRATION: Everybody has a
playmate and a serious mate.

NARRATION: I also have goals in life.

Hey Sarah, don't be fooled by your sister.

Marge, you were born kinky;
your hair won't grow straight.

See it's burnt by so much ironing.

How was your guest last night?

Bad. That white guy is cheap.

After touching me all over,
he gave me cheap money.

But sister, I know it's not the last time.

He will go crazy over me.

Sis, this is it. He's our ticket to America.

Sis, will you take me with you?

Of course. Ambitious bitch.

Imagine. 3 pigmies in America. I'm excited.

Sorry, I can't do it now...

Why? Are you not in the mood?

Maybe I'm just tired.

Hey, it's no smoking here.

The travel agency of my school called.

They instructed me to
finish my travel documents.

Our batch is scheduled to leave next.

So you really are leaving.

I hope so.

How can you leave me?

Don't be sad, it's just a two-year contract.

Would you rather that we just
work in Manila together?

Who knows? We might find our luck there.

There are no decent jobs
waiting for us there.

All jobs there are merely
contractuals, and...

my father will kill me if I don't
earn from my care-giving lessons.

They saved up for this training.

Maybe we'll move to San
Fernando in December.

Jojo was assigned there for work.

I'm glad you are doing well.

Not really, the children have
a lot of school expenses.

I know what you mean.

I sent my siblings to school, not to
mention their children and my boys.

You're also like a mother.

Oh yes. A mother who cannot conceive.

Ma, are you done?

Oh yes.

Donut for you and Eva.

Thanks. You also might want hair coloring.

No need. I'm blading anyway.

Thank you Eva, you really are great.

We'll go ahead Eva.

Ok, you take care.

Why are you leaving so soon Jojo?

Hey, don't tell me you're going with them.

Crazy, Jojo is like a brother to me now.

Yeah right. But then, you were
a couple for a long time.

Yes, almost 7 years.

Does Lisa know about that?

Of course, she's also aware that
I sent her husband to school,

and it's clear to her that Jojo loved me first.

That's why she can never treat me wrong.

I remember the time when
you drunk my Baygon at home.

Past is past. I learned that
no matter what you do...

give it your all, but when a boy
is not for you, he won't be yours.

I really don't get you,
all you do is fall in love.

If I were you, just hire
a service boy every night.

Hey. I am not like you.

Wait. Where are you going?

Find a service boy? Wanna join?

Never mind.

Cora. Come over here.

Hi Eva. What's new?

How are you?

I heard you're scheduled to leave soon.

Right. Two days from now. It's urgent.

I didn't think it would be this soon.

But the one scheduled before me had a
problem that's why I was prioritized.

Pls rebound my hair before I leave.

Oh sure, I'll even give you discount.

Yes, we're open every day.

Hold on... how is Edgardo taking this?

What happens to him when you go?

I thought of how it will hurt him but I
have to think of my family's welfare first.

Friend, you know how
much Edgardo loves you.

I love him too, but if he truly loves me...

...maybe he could wait for me for two years.

Two years can go bye quickly.

I got an idea; I could take care
of Edgardo while you're away.

You find a white boyfriend over there.

When you come back, we swap.

You get Edgardo back. I get your white guy.

So I finally have a sponsor.

You're crazy.

I gotta go.

I got some shopping to do.

Ok just come back for
your hair rebounding.

And you... horny again?

Just a haircut.

Whatever. Keep it quiet.

Cora will be in Canada only for two years.

If you want, while she's
there, I'll take care of you.

Why are you always kidding me?

I'm serious. If you don't
like the idea, wait for her.

But every time you feel lonely,
remember that I'm just here.

Don't you think I got better boobs than her?

Why? Do you think Cora's better?

I wish it were just about boobs.

But no. I love her.

How was your last night?

Just fine. And yours?

I'm excited. I got good news.

Finally, I met up with Dave last night.

He promised to take me
to UK. where is that?

UNITED KESTATES?

Is it America?

Somewhere there.

He asked for picture and
passport, and Visa is no problem.

Oh my. We get promises
every hour. Wake up.

Why put me down?

I know he's different and
he will take me to America.

It's UK.

We gotta work hard tonight.

Work hard in sex?

Whatever. You know what I mean.

Find white guys not the locals.

Hey. Will you quit it Brando.

Didn't go to work tonight just to see you.

Is it my fault?

I just wanna be with you.

What? Let's catch up later.

Be with me? Yes you look
Good but that's not enough.

I have money to pay you.

Oh so you're loaded tonight.

I got lots of expenses so I need
to make a lot money tonight.

How much do you need to say Yes?

You know my rate... do you have it?

Yes.

I've been longing to be with you.

Ok. but just for a short time.

Let's go.

Ok. Undress. Quick.

I don't know why I insist to be with you.

When I make a lot from my customers.

Why? Are you Edgardo?

Edgardo again. I'm better than him.

Suck it.

No, not for Php 500.

C'mon. Just do it.

Ok. But just this. More
than this is Php 2.500

Cora.

Oh. Why didn't you pass by the house?

I avoided your family seeing me...

It doesn't matter to them.

I will miss you Cora.

I will miss you too.

Gotta go. I'll be late for my flight.

It's my first time to get on a plane.

They say it's a long process.

I'll go inside now.

Does this mean the end of us?

I am not obliging you to wait.

If you still love me when I come
back, then this isn't the end.

Otherwise, we just have to accept how it is.

NARRATION: My goals flew away with Cora.

NARRATION: I'm now back to zero.

I can't drink anymore. I had enough.

C'mon let's drink some more.

I'm doing a wedding
early tomorrow morning.

The bride might look like a dead person.

You had just a few. Drink some more.

No more. Just ask Eva.

C'mon, just this once.

Eva can join you in joy or sorrow...

...even in death he will.

You're crazy.

Can still handle that?

Where are you going?

Look what you've done.

I told you to drink moderately.

Did you have to vomit on me?

I got no clothes here for you.

I'll just borrow from Maxi tomorrow.

NARRATION: Even when I was
feeling what Eva was doing...

...my body was too tired to react.

But I realized, it feels good
when someone is caring for you.

I can't take you to shower
anymore. Just rest.

NARRATION: For now, only a hug
is what I can do to give thanks.

Eva.

I'll pay later.

So did it finally happen?

You know I really want it to happen.

But I didn't want to show disrespect.

I didn't touch him because I love Edgardo.

Liar. I didn't leave you
alone for nothing to happen.

Pls... I'm not like you.

Edgardo is not just a handsome guy.

He's a friend and I love him.

If we're gonna do it, I
want us both to want it.

But in fairness, we cuddled we whole time.

Don't behave like a teenager.

You're running out of time.

Are we here yet?

Is this what you were talking about?

Wait what is this? FANTASY...

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS

This place is so immoral dear. All girls.

It's making me puke.

I think we're in a wrong place.

I think we gotta make a
u-turn to the other side.

Affright, where to, dear.

Here... I think this is it.

Will you quit pretending? I
know you frequent this place.

Ok, slow down now...

But why are they all seem dosed?

Look up front. Men in tank tops.

There?

Wanna go there?

Why is there no parking space?

Bro... your girlfriend is coming.

Good. You'll be loaded again.

Sure winner.

We're still got nothing.

Let's wait inside.

Now choose your boys.

Do you like this table?

It doesn't matter.

Come in Sir.

It's been long since the last time, sir.

Good evening, what do I serve you?

Beer. Ok two beers.

Something too much?

We'll order later.

C'mon, choose now who
you want to sit with you.

They're all ok and safe,
that's why we came here.

Excuse me sir, here's your beer.

You might want any of our boys.

Choose now.

That guy over there.

Which one sir?

He likes that guy in black sando.

He's Edgardo, but he's
not available as of now.

Why don't you try Ethan?
He's also delightful.

Too bad, my friends just withdrew
a lot of cash from the ATM.

Winner.

Ok I'll just take Ethan instead.

Oh yes, Ethan. His dick has granules.

You're disgusting.

Oh no, he's really perfect.

Ethan, he's Doctor Francis.

Just order what you want.

Jodie. He wants beer too.

Ok, ok, one set?

Is it your first time here?

Order something to eat too.

Yes, later we will. We'll drink first.

You're a winner friend.
You'll get what you want.

He's Edgardo, the hottest
and best seller here.

I'm sure you know how it goes around here.

Of course.

Hi. my name is Lander.

My best friend, Doctor
Francis, call him Kiko.

Ethan, move over here.

Sit down.

Order whatever you want.

1 light beer, coming.

I want some more too.

Let's sit my friend too.

Alright.

It's getting crowded here.

We know each other already.

What's your name again?

Right Brando, now I remember.

Sir, you'll sit two of them?

Yes. Give him drinks too.

Can you give me a massage pls...

Did you grow up here in Clark?

Yes I come from the mountains.

But we moved to tower land.

There's a lot of us, aetas, who moved
here, and it's getting crowded now.

How about you sir? Are you just visiting?

My grandparents are from here.
We're building a rest house here.

That's why I think I'd
frequent this bar from now on.

I bet, you're rest house looks great.

Would you like to see it?

Of course.

NARRATION: He seemed like a
man who would beat a woman...

NARRATION: when he's more like
a woman carressing her man.

NARRATION: It feels good... electrifying...

Come inside me Edgardo.

Mommy Eva, I got something for you.

What's that?

From Doctor Kiko.

Why are you giving it to me?

Why are you mad?

Just give it to me.

I got PMS. Just give it her.

Is it ok if I just take it?

I got something to say Mommy Eva...

...which I know will annoy you.

I'm annoyed enough at the moment.

I will be gone for 3 nights.

Where are you going?
Canada? To follow Cora?

Cora's out of my mind. I'm going
to Baguio with Doctor Kiko.

I knew it. You're leaving knowing
that the bar isn't making money.

C'mon Mommy, pls let me have
this chance for a holiday.

I can't control you. I know you
would go even when I say don't.

You stubborn kid.

Is that a yes?

It's all up to you.

I'll go ahead.

You take care.

Are you excited?

Of course. I will just go
with you wherever you may go.

When love begins to stand still...

There's no need for two
hearts to stay together.

When love is no longer sweet...

Let one heart stay alone.

Why mind what other people would say?

When they aren't the ones suffering.

Sweet love awaits another sweet love.

When present love turns bitter.

When one heart gets
tired and stops longing.

Isn't it better to part, and
offer your heart to another.

Because there's no more love in between.

Why is it that sometimes, it's
hard to teach one heart...

undecipherable... misunderstood?

When feeling is gone...

It is just right to set each other free.

Why bother what other people might say.

When it's you who are suffering.

Sweet love awaits another sweet love.

When present love turns bitter.

When one heart gets
tired and stops longing.

Isn't it better to part, and
offer your heart to another.

And no more love waiting for you.

Sweet love awaits another sweet love.

When present love turns bitter.

When one heart gets
tired and stops longing.

Isn't it better to part, and
offer your heart to another.

And no more love waiting for you.

Very Good. Now you're crying...

...and feeling like you're on soap opera?

Where are you going?

I don't know. Just go back to work.

Forget about Edgardo. I am here anyway.

This is phat.

You drive like crazy even on Zig Zag road.

You know, the faster, the better.

NARRATION: It's my first time
to feel this way with a man.

NARRATION: Doctor Kiko gives good love.

Are you still happy working for that bar?

I'm just fine.

How much do you earn from it?

Not much.

I said how much?

It depends. We get Php 100 every day,

and commissions from drinks.

Would you like to stop working?
I'll just give allowance.

Then think of what you like to do...
everything that you'd want to do.

You can go back to school if you wish.

I am shy.

I can also move you to an apartment.

So I see you every day.

I can't offer my rest
house. Mom frequents there.

Do you really wanna do all that?

Of course.

Hey bro, lookin' good.

Hey brothers... how are you guys doing?

Hey.

Fresh from Baguio... and with a new watch.

From Doctor Kiko.

What's this?

Peanut Brittle. So fattening.

Not only that, I also got a new Cellphone.

He got a second hand unit for me.

You've changed a lot. Sooner or
later we won't recognize you anymore.

You are now loaded.

I got something to tell
you again, Mommy Eva.

What? He'll take you to America this time?

Not that. I just wanna rest.

Oh why? Are you sick?

I'm ok. I just wanna take a break from work.

You're moving in with him?

Something like that.

Aren't you gonna say anything at all?

No. Nothing.

I can't hold you and tell you not to go.

I know that's what's best for you.

Don't worry, I'll drop by from time to time.

I'll miss you.

Ok this is the last stop. I'm tired already.

This is great. Isn't this too much?

This is better than all the ones we've seen.

There maybe no power and telephone
yet, but there's water supply.

We just need to fix and change colors a bit.

We'll get TV and put our
pictures around, then it's fine.

May I invite my parents over?

Of course.

How about my friends from the bar?

Yes, except for women.

Especially not the gays.

Sir, I'm all yours.

That is so nice to hear.

I also don't want you to go back to the bar.

Your former clients my take you out again.

I'm the jealous type.

Oh before I forget, got
something here. Just add yours.

Keep this here.

Where was this taken?

My condominium.

It looks great.

That's in Manila.

Would you rather that I
stay in Manila with you?

Why Manila? It's crowded there.

It's better here.

Nothing. I just thought it may be
easier for me to find a job there.

So I won't depend all from you.

We just got here. Why do you wanna
leave right away? It's crazy in Manila.

It's quieter here. Where's my key.

I don't have it. It's with you.

...and I can't take care of you there.

Oh, Ok. No need to be
angry. I was just asking.

I will buy something to
eat. Don't leave your seat.

NARRATION: From then on, I
realized, I no longer own my life.

Good morning Eva Fonda,
the drama queen...

Here's your coffee.

I know that you got drunk last night.

Come and drink this while it's
hot. It's good for your hang over.

Hey, get up. It's late and
we got to open the shop now.

Don't ruin your life for a boy.

Faggot.

Edgardo's gone. Accept it.

Where are you going? Why
are you out this early?

This is how I should be.

As they say, the early bird
catches... what again?

...the bird.

That's it.

Hold on... Is Mommy Eva still asleep?

Oh yes. Wait, where are you going?

Just around. I will
show-off my new earrings.

Yes. and your conjoined twin hairdo.

Ok don't ruin it.

It's so hot in here; why
not buy an aircon unit?

Ok, where's my bag?

See you later.

NARRATION: I seldom have
the chance to visit home.

NARRATION: I panic
whenever my phone rings.

NARRATION: I need to
report my every move.

Edgardo. Brother. How have you been?

And why are you here?

Why haven't you been coming to the bar?

What's it to you?

Heard you have been hitched.

Something like that.

Wait, have you got any phone airtime load?

None, my phone is at the pawnshop.

Good you still have yours.

Ok bro, gotta go.

Heading where?

Just somewhere.

Are you reporting for work later?

I will try.

Edgardo is that you?

What is this?

Ahhh... would you want a massage too?

Never mind. Enjoy yourselves.

NARRATION: That Bastard.

NARRATION: He fooled me.

NARRATION: I made a fool of myself.

NARRATION: I'm back to Zero again.

Three hours?

Make it six.

I still gotta work.

How's that?

I'll stay here first.

Up to you, I'm leaving
right away. How much?

Did we also pay Php 1.200 the last time?

Yes. It was 1.200.

Why don't you pick-up?

What's this for?

Are you loaded now that's
why you're paying me?

No. It's half of the room rent.

It's different now.

I came here with you not as a rentboy.

That's why I feel I should share the bill.

So, you're wealthy now.

Lander, did you see Edgardo today?

Yes, I've been texting him but no reply.

Can you pls find out if
he's at the Paraiso Bar?

Thanks.

Why? Did you really think
he would be faithful?

Not really.

It's nothing. I just felt insulted.

Don't tell me you truly love him?

Not really.

Huh, have you become gay?

Of course not. Somehow, he's
become important to me.

We're in a relationship, remember?

So why do you feel anger when
he's with somebody else?

Weil, he prohibits me from seeing
others, but he does it anyway.

You know, when money
rules a relationship...

...one is expected to
obey and follow orders.

Now you know it's hard to complain.

We're merely gadgets to them.

Alright... gotta go.

NARRATION: You're their
gadget if you let them...

NARRATION: I let him.

Hey bro. How's the bigshot.

I'm not a bigshot.

Oh yeah. Just a boyfriend of a bigshot.

Is Mommy Eva there?

I thought you have been
prohibited to come here?

I'm bored at home.

Just go inside. Would you like beer?

Sure.

Just help yourself.

Hey. You're looking
good. Where are you from?

How are you? Are you financially ok now?

Hey. Wait here Edgardo.

Jodie, is Edgardo available?

Ask him to sit with us.

Come in please.

Sis, table 3 is asking if
Edgardo can sit with them.

You better ask him. He resigned already.

There you go again. Ok I will.

Hey Miss, come in.

Ok sir. Do I make him sit with you now?

Sir, here he is. You two, sit aside.

Don't forget about my tip later, sir.

Boys. I'm watching you.

Ok, go away now.

Sit now. Sir, here's
Edgardo. Give me the mic.

NARRATION: I told myself I don't
want to do this job anymore.

NARRATION: But why do I keep on
coming back? I don't get it.

You take care of sir, he's loaded.

Hep, hep, hep, why are you chatting
there? Go and call out customers.

And you Jodie, why are you
here? Go out with them.

I've been barking outside alone, while
you're here flirting with these boys.

I knew it.

I've been calling your phone,
why weren't you picking up?

As I said, I ran out of battery.

Liar. Truth is, you were at Paraiso Bar.

Why did you have to lie to me?

It was my friend's birthday. I had to go.

Liar.

Pull over.

I said pull over.

Edgardo, get back here.

Edgardo. Get back in here.

Let me cool down.

I haven't heard from him for 3 months now.

Have you tried calling him yet?

He wouldn't pick up my calls.

I guess he's avoiding you.

F**k him.

Bastard.

Why are they like that?

We do everything to make them happy.

But they still treat us like shit.

I guess, that's how it really is.

If you agree... let's try each other.

Are you crazy?

We'll be happy only in bed.

When we get hungry, we'll
also kill each other.

That's an exaggeration.

We have to practical.

Where will it lead us?

We won't be forever young.

While we still fresh, let's make use of it.

Never mind. I can find another white guy.

Same with you. You can find
her replacement if you wish.

F**k you. What's your alibi this time?

Cool down...

Hey. I'm not doing anything wrong.
I was just sitting with him.

Let's talk outside.

Why did you have to fool me?

Hey. Why are you here?

F**k you faggot. Leave us alone.

You're also a faggot. You
got more men than I do.

F**k you. I don't fight with fags like you.

Don't you bully us.

F**k YOU.

I told you to stay out.

F**K YOU FAGGOT.

Macho Girl. You're also a faggot.
I'm a faggot. We're all faggots.

YOU ASS HOLE. Now we're quits.

Why did you have to fight with him?

I don't want to see you being hurt.

What do I do now?

It's up to you. It's your decision.

Do what will please you.

Remember that we always
have a choice in life.

Your choice now is what your life is.

I will just leave him.

I'll go back home.

It's difficult to live with him.
My life is fine without him.

You know what's right for you.

Just keep in mind that
I'm always here for you.

This hurts.

Why are you wearing your
eye shadow on your cheeks?

Where did you two come from?

Don't mind him. I'm going home.

Just take him home.

NARRATOR: Everyone I
choose to love hurts me.

Even those not involved are affected.

Maybe I'm one of those
who are forbidden to love.

Are you still enjoying your bar work?

I'm just fine.

Do you wanna stop working there?
I can also find you a house.

Do you really wanna do that?

Of course.

I'll go find us food. Stay there.

Of course I won't. I'm all yours.

Edgardo. Get back in here.

I will just cool down.

NARRATOR: It's tough to dream.

Cora is dreaming big.

Kristel stopped dreaming,

and I didn't dream to be
Doctor' Kiko's gadget.

I don't know anymore how
to start dreaming again.

My life is in chaos. Back to Zero.

So. Did the thank-you-f**k
finally happened last night?

I didn't wanna hope for it.

If I know, deep inside you, you're
hoping that you live together,

and when it doesn't
happen, you will cry again.

Let it be. Everyone who
falls in love gets hurt.

What's important is when I
get hurt, I don't stop loving,

because I don't wanna end up
like you. Living a lonely life.

Ouch. Insect.

NARRATOR: I fell in love... but she left me...

I fell in love again... but she refused me...

I tried again... but he choked me...

Hi Edgardo... Come in.

NARRATION: But I won't get tired of loving.

Woman, gay, or whoever it may be...

I may be back to Zero,
but I still can get to 10.
