Good morning, Dad.

So, have you taken your medicine?

Yes, I choked a bit,
that’s why I coughed.

Where have you been, Ilyana?

At the... at the market, Dad.

The one near the dock.
I bought food for our lunch.

But you left early today.
What took you so long?

Don’t tell me...

You took my boat
out again, didn’t you?

- Didn’t I tell you...
- Dad...

If I don’t take the boat out,
we’ll starve to death.

I need to earn money

so we can buy food

and your medicine
while you’re still unwell.

Don’t worry. Once you get stronger,

you can take the boat out again.

I’m not stopping you
from making money.

I just want you to
find another job.

Not being a boatwoman.

And where would that be, Dad?

In Manila?

Some faraway place?

What if something happens
to you while I’m at work?

Don’t worry about me.
I can take care of myself.

You're just saying that.

I’d rather stay here
so I can look after you.

Osang, my father’s getting even
more difficult to handle lately.

That’s just how old folks are.

At least your dad has
not gotten senile yet.

Ilyana, Gabo's coming.

Ilyana, I’ll drop by
your place this afternoon.

My dad wants me to give
something to your dad.

Gabo, have some jicamas first.

They're juicy and crunchy.

No, thanks. I’m heading to
the dock to get my boat repaired.

See you, ladies.

What do you not like about Gabo?

Look, he's got a nice built,
nice body, handsome face,

and I bet he smells nice after a bath.

He’s kind, respectful,
and a loving son.

What more could you ask for?

But he’s not courting me.

What do you mean?

He keeps coming to your house

and always brings something
for your father, doesn't he?

Maybe he’s interested
in my father, and not me.

But seriously,

we’re both struggling in life

and we're still taking care
of our parents.

What will happen to us
if we end up together?

You and your high standards.

Be careful about
being too picky.

You might end up with no one.

- Sir Roden?
- Gabo, come in.

My father wants
to give this to you.

Thank him for me. Tell him
he shouldn't have bothered.

Ilyana, kindly take them.

- This one’s for you, Ilyana.
- Thank you.

Have a seat first so we could chat.

Thank you.

How are your parents?
Are they okay?

- Fortunately, they’re fine.
- Good for them.

While I am always sick
and get easily exhausted.

As long as you eat properly
and on time.

And get enough rest
when you’re tired,

your strength will come back.

If only I could rest all I want.

But we won’t have anything
to eat if I don’t work.

Even my father’s gotten
tired of being a boatman,

so, he lets me take
his boat out instead.

Ilyana, aren’t you done yet?
You entertain Gabo over here.

I still have a lot to
wash and put away, Dad.

It's fine, Sir Roden.
Get some rest. I’ll get going.

I’ll drop by again.

Are you sure? You didn’t
get to talk to Ilyana yet.

There’s always a next time.
I’ll get going.

- Okay, thank you again.
- Ilyana...

Thank your father for me.

Tell him I’ll make it up to him next time.

I sure will. Thanks.

Why didn't you entertain Gabo properly?

He’s been nothing,
but nice to you.

Dad, haven’t you noticed?

Gabo only talks to you
when he’s here.

When he's with me,
he barely says a word.

That’s because when he’s here,

you don’t give him a chance

to have a proper conversation with you.

He’s courting you but
you keep avoiding him.

You’re always busy
with something else.

Dad, if he’s really courting me,

he could just say it outright.

But he never does.

How could he tell you
if you won’t even face him?

Maybe he’s actually
after you, and not me.

Ilyana, don't get smart with me.

Just go to your room and rest.

Stop stressing yourself over
things of no importance, Dad.

It’s not of no importance.
It's your life.

Don’t you want to get married?

Marriage?

No one’s even courting me.

How could anyone court you
when you don’t even pay attention?

It’s you whom Gabo likes, not me.

You stubborn girl... Geez...

You came from Ilyana’s
place again, didn’t you?

What I don’t understand is that
I’ve been courting her properly.

Why won’t she give me a chance

to tell her how I really feel for her?

Maybe she doesn’t like
your style of courting.

You do things like folks
did back in the day.

I respect Ilyana and Sir Roden.

Maybe respect isn’t what
she’s looking for in a guy.

Maybe she likes a gentleman
who's a bit rough around the edges.

She’s not that kind of woman.

What kind of woman is she?

She’s not like you.

Why? What kind of woman am I?

Excuse me, Miss.
Where’s the boatman for this one?

He went home for a while to eat.

He’ll be back soon.

How about this one?

60 pesos round-trip per person.
How many are you?

Just me.

Can it be a chartered ride?

Sure. It's 600 pesos
for a round trip.

I'm just going one-way. How much?

Okay, 400 pesos then.

Alright, call.

So Miss, where’s the boatman?

- Me.
- You?

Are you serious?

Well, if you don’t want to ride with me,

you can wait for the other boatman.
He’s a guy.

No, Miss.

I’m just not used to it. It’s my
first time meeting a boatwoman.

Your boat won’t flip over, right?

You look like you know how to swim.

Have you been a boatwoman for long?

No, I’m just filling in.

This is actually my dad’s boat.

It so happened he’s sick
now so he can’t work.

So, I’m taking over
for the meantime.

Are you a local here?

Yes, I was born and raised here.

But my mom’s from Mindanao.

That’s where my parents met when my dad
was assigned there for work.

My dad brought her here
after they got married.

Can I feature you in my video?

Are you going to pay me?

Where should I take you?

I’m heading to the cottage
by Sapang Dalag.

Do you know where that is?

Of course, it’s close to where I live.

I’ll go with you to your cottage.
You might get lost.

Thanks.

- That’s the way to Sapang Dalag. Let’s go.
- Just a moment.

I’ve asked you so many things,

but I haven’t asked your name yet.

I’m Levi, by the way.

- I’m Ilyana.
- Ilyana?

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

Over here.

It’s nice here, so peaceful.

This...

is my friend’s store.

If you need anything,

you can buy it here.

- Later I’ll...
- It’s so nice here.

By the way, why did you
decide to visit our place?

Your place is popular
on social media.

I’m a vlogger, you see.

I want to share my
experience here to others.

I hope there’s something unique here.

So that’s why you’re carrying a camera.

Why didn’t you bring your friends?

Or your girlfriend to make it more fun?

I don’t have a girlfriend.

What about a boyfriend?

I’ve been single for over a year.

My ex-girlfriend didn’t
like these kinds of trips.

She didn’t like hot,

sunny, or humid places.

She liked visiting air-conditioned spots

like malls, restaurants,

or cinemas.

That’s probably
why she broke up with me.

How about you,
do you have a boyfriend?

Or maybe...

a girlfriend?

You have no one?

A beautiful lady like you?

The single men in this
place must be all blind.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Ilyana, your father...

Okay, I’m heading home.

Levi, I’m sorry.
I have to leave. My father...

I’ll go with you.

What happened to you, Dad?

I found him lying on the floor.

He was so weak, almost unconscious.

The weather was
really hot earlier. I got dizzy.

But I’m fine now.

It's a good thing Gabo found me.

Did you stay out in the sun earlier?

Did you take your medicine on time?

I didn’t go out,
and I took my medicine.

Then why did you get weak
and almost lose consciousness?

This has never happened to you before.

Sir Roden, I think it might be better

if you get checked
at the hospital in town

so the doctor can determine
your real condition.

Hospital? That would cost a lot.

I’m taking my medication.
That should be enough.

Dad, if you get dizzy again,

we'll have to take you
to the hospital anyways.

So it’s better to find out now
why you got dizzy earlier.

It’s better to go
earlier for a check-up.

Ilyana, pack your dad’s things.

He might have to stay in
the hospital for a few days

so the doctor can monitor him.

Few days? That’s going
to cost even more.

Dad...

don’t think about
the expenses right now.

What matters is that you get
checked so you can get better.

I’ll go with him to town.

- Gabo?
- What if he gets dizzy again?

What if it happens on the way?
Can you carry him?

I’ll do it. Go and pack
your dad’s things.

And who’s this young man?

This is Levi, Dad.

He’s vacationing here.

He stays at the cottage by the creek.

Levi, this is my dad, Roden,
and this is Gabo.

Good evening, sir. Get well soon.

Just a moment, Levi.

Who was that who volunteered to
go with your dad to the hospital?

Your brother?

No. That’s Gabo, he’s also
from around here.

Is he your suitor?

Hey Ilyana, how’s your dad?
Is he okay now?

He’s a bit better now, but...

Gabo took him to
town to see a doctor.

Who’s that with you?

Is he the one who went
with you to the creek earlier?

Osang, you sure can
sniff a man a mile away.

- Levi, this is...
- Hi!

Osang is my name,
and this store is my game.

I’m a friend of Ilyana.
And you are?

Levi.

If you ever need anything
from my store,

I’ll give them all to you.

- Stop it!
- Ouch!

Ilyana, can I rent your
boat again tomorrow?

The whole day, if possible.

Sure, it's 1200 pesos for a day.

Can you make it 1000 pesos?

I have already set my
budget for this trip.

You see, I’ll be here
for three more days.

If that’s the case,

it's fine with me as long as
you rent my boat for three days,

1000 pesos per day.

Really?

Great!

No flaking out, okay?

Of course not.

For all I know, you might
be the one to flake out on me.

As long as I’m here in your area,

I have nowhere else
to go to but the river.

So, you're sure to spot me
and therefore I can’t con you.

Okay, let’s meet tomorrow at the
riverbank where I dropped you off earlier.

Alright, I’ll go ahead. Good night.

- Good night, Osang.
- Bye, Levi.

Good morning, Ilyana.

How’s your dad?

Ah...

Well...

Gabo said he’ll in the
hospital for a few days

for the doctor to observe
why he got dizzy.

Don’t you need to go there?

Gabo said Dad's doing fine so far.

I told Gabo to call me right away

if there’s an emergency.

Besides...

I need to earn money
for my dad’s hospitalization.

If you need to go to
your dad at anytime,

it’s fine with me if you leave.

Don’t worry about me.

What I should worry about now
is where to take you.

Where do you want to go?

Let’s go there this time.

We haven’t gone there
coming from the dock.

Okay, let’s go.

Let’s go.

I don’t think I saw your
mom at your house.

She’s gone.

Oh, sorry... Has your mom
passed on a long time ago?

She’s still alive but
she left me and my dad.

She left a long time ago
when I was still in high school.

Oh, I’m sorry again...

Do you know where she is?

I don’t.

It’s been ten years since
I last saw or spoke to her.

She probably went back to
her hometown in Mindanao.

Did she tell you why she left?

I remember before,

she used to complain about
how hard life was here.

She said life was
better in their province.

But that’s what everyone wants, right?

A comfortable life.

Maybe your mom just went away
for a while to save enough,

then she'll come back
for you and your dad.

Is ten years "just for a while"?

No, I don't think she'll ever come back.
I don’t expect her to.

Park your boat over there.

Wow!

The views here are really amazing.

Do you ever get tired
of looking at them?

When you’ve lived
here for a while,

and you see them all the time,

you don’t notice anymore if
they’re still amazing or not.

They all look the same to you.

Perhaps. That’s why I want
to go to different places to vlog.

So I can always see
and experience new things.

It's only then that I'm made to
feel how vast the world really is.

That there are so many possibilities
to what one can still do in life.

Have you been to many
places with your vlogging?

Quite a few.

But I've only been
to local places.

I can’t afford to go abroad yet.

It's going to cost a lot.

Maybe when I start
earning from vlogging.

I’m still a newbie, though.

Are women part of the beautiful sites

in the places you've visited?

If I had a girl in
every place I've visited,

I wouldn’t be single now.

Well, maybe you’re a player.

Maybe you’ve become commitment-phobic
because your ex left you.

Next time I get into a relationship,

I’ll look for someone

like me who loves adventures.

Someone not afraid to try new
or different things in life with me,

even if we fail and make mistakes.

Because that’s the
only way we learn, right?

What the heck.

Our conversation is
getting too serious.

We came here to enjoy.

Let’s forget about the problems
and stresses in life for now.

So let’s go for a swim!

The water looks so inviting.

It’s been a while since
I last went out for a swim.

It's my first time visiting here!

- Hey, Levi! You can't do that.
- Do what?

We’re the only ones
here, right? C'mon!

Levi, stop! Please!

Come on! Don’t be a killjoy.

- Come on!
- Wait, Levi!

- Hold on.
- Come here!

Come on!

Do you have a boyfriend?

Or maybe...

a girlfriend?

You have no one?

A beautiful lady like you?

The single men in this
place must be all blind.

Where are you taking me today?

You want to swim, right?

Let’s go to the best
swimming spot here.

Wow! Exciting!

What’s that?

Playtime.

I’m good at getting scatter here.
Are you familiar with this?

No.

There! Scatter!

I’ll teach you how to play later.

Who knows, you’ll might
get lucky playing it too.

Let’s do this later.

Ilyana...

Have you thought
about leaving this place

and going to Manila?

Maybe work, or study there?

You could be a working student.

Much as I want to,

I think that will just
remain a dream for me.

But why?

You know my situation, right?

It's just me and my dad.

Who’s going to look
after him if I leave?

I’m not saying you abandon him.

You might leave him for a while,

but you’ll come back once
you’ve built a better life in Manila.

And you’ll be doing it for him, too.

I just don’t want you
to waste the chance

to fulfill your dreams

if you only move
away from this place.

Don’t you want to do that, Ilyana?

There’s a whole
world beyond your river.

I don’t know if and when
I’ll ever come back here...

That’s why I want you
to leave with me.

Because I can’t bear...

to be apart from you.

Pack your things when you get home.

Come with me when I return to Manila.

Levi...

- I’m afraid.
- Of what?

I’m with you, Ilyana.

I won’t let anything happen to you.

C'mon, let’s get some rest.

Ilyana!

Ilyana!

Dad...

- Gabo.
- Hey.

Why didn’t you tell me
you were coming home?

I could’ve picked you up at the dock.

Your dad wanted to surprise you.

Dad, what did the doctor say?

As long as he takes
his meds regularly

and avoids overexerting himself,
he won’t feel dizzy.

Did you hear that, Dad?

That’s straight from the doctor,
so you better listen.

Ilyana, I’ll get going. They’re
probably looking for me at home.

Sir, don’t forget what
the doctor said, okay?

- I’ll go ahead.
- Thank you, Gabo.

- Bye.
- Thank you.

Hey, Gabo. You’re back from the hospital?

How’s Sir Roden?

He’s doing better.

The doctor gave him orders to
make sure he doesn’t feel dizzy again.

- That’s good to hear.
- Mhm.

But have you heard about Ilyana?

What about her?

Here, watch this.

Is that the kind of woman
you want to marry?

Hey, Levi! You’ve got
some nerve, you bastard!

Hey!

You’re just an outsider here,

yet, you have the gall
to disgrace our people?

And Ilyana of all people?
You piece of shit!

Levi!

Gabo, what’s your problem?

Is he the one?

Is he the type of guy you want?

Yes!

I like Levi, and not you.

Why? Just because he’s from Manila?

Because he promised you
a better life there?

Did he tell you he can
actually give you that?

Do you think I’d be happy
if I settle for

a mere boatman’s child just like me?

That our life as husband and wife,

our family’s fate until the day we die,

will depend solely on
whatever the river provides?

Is it wrong of me
to want a better life

for myself, and for my dad?

I’m sorry, Gabo, but...

I don’t see myself living the
life I've always dreamed of

if I choose you.

If that’s how you really feel,

I know how to accept rejection.

But I hope you
won’t regret your decision.

At least, now you know

what kind of woman Ilyana really is.

I thought she was different.

Oh, we women are all the same.

Once a man's tool touches us,

we all slowly melt away like butter.

Don't you want to let me
taste your tool tonight,

so you can see
how I melt in your arms?

Forget about Ilyana.

Love me instead.

Ilyana...

Ilyana...

Ilyana...

Ilyana!

Ilyana!

Ilyana! Ilyana...

Ilyana.

Ilyana.

Ilyana.

Ilyana?

Ilyana, wait!

So, you've also made up your mind.

I just hope you won’t regret it, too.

Ilyana!

You're leaving?

You’re leaving me,
just like your mother did?

When your mother and I got married,

I promised her a good life.

A better life than what
she had in her hometown.

But in the end,

I couldn’t keep my promises to her.

She grew tired of waiting.

She wanted to leave,

and I didn’t stop her.

Because I knew my
conscience would haunt me

if I forced her to stay,

knowing that her heart

has been wrapped in misery.

Dad...

I hope you understand that

I’m not doing this just for myself.

I’m doing this for you, too.

Don’t worry about me.

I’m already old.

- God will take me soon enough.
- Dad!

Please don’t say that.

I may be leaving but...

I have no plans on stopping you.

I understand why you
want to leave this place.

The only thing I don’t want to happen
is for you to end up like your mother.

She staked her life
on an empty promise.

Because if you're not able to live

your dream life with that
young man from Manila,

and

you decide to leave him,

I don’t think I could bear the guilt

of letting it happen
all over again

to someone I love.

But if that ever happens,

don’t hesitate to

come back to me.

I will always take you in

because you are my child.

Aren’t we leaving yet?
I still have to do my usual run.

Let’s go.

Dad...

can I say goodbye to Levi

even for last one time?

Levi!

Levi!

Levi! Levi!

Levi!

Levi!

Levi...

Levi!

In all the places I’ve been to,

and of all the women I’ve met,

you are the only one who
has truly captured my heart.

I have no intention of forgetting you,

so, please don’t let go of
what we feel for each other.

When the right time,

the right place, and the
right opportunity come,

I believe we’ll meet again

to reunite our love.

Please wait for that moment with me.

Until then.
