Darlings, how are you doing?

Mama, how are you?

Darling, I’m sorry,

I can’t send money right now.

And I can’t come home yet.

You take care of Ninay, alright?

Ninay, study hard.

You know my situation here,

I have a new family.

Mama, what’s more important to you,

your expenses there, or your daughters?

You always have an excuse.

You're also important to me, but...

Mama...

Mama...

I already quit school to work, and help fund my sister’s schooling.

Be patient with me,

I have a lot of things to deal with right now.

We heard that many times,

we’re expected to understand you,

but what have you done?

So, you’ll just abandon us here

like animals?

I’ll send something. I’ll find a way.

I’m just having a difficult time right now.

Ma, I hope you understand that we’re having a hard time too.

You shouldn’t just care about yourself.

I’m really sorry.

Try to be a bit more understanding, darlings.

Tonette...

Ninay, try to understand Mama’s situation right now.

Ma, if you really want to, there’s so many ways.

I have to end the call, the baby’s awake.

Take care, okay?

- Tonette, you take care of Ninay. - Yes, Ma?

Study well, Ninay.

I need to go.

Bye!

Mama?

It’s alright.

Hey, stop crying.

I’m here for you.

I won’t abandon you, alright?

Just focus on your studies, okay?

Listen to me.

I’m here for you, okay?

I love you very much.

You have to study well.

It's just the two of us.

We don't have parents we can rely on anymore.

Ninay...

Don’t cry anymore.

I’m preparing more food for you.

Eat well.

Come on, eat.

About your tuition fees, pay it.

The rest of the money, use it for your school projects.

Be serious about your studies.

Eat some more.

Go on.

Ninay...

Eat well.

Forget what happened.

We should accept it.

And it doesn’t mean that Mama doesn’t love us.

Mama loves us.

- But she shares her love with others. - Love?

She has a new family now, another child…

so I hope you understand that.

Do you think it’s that easy for me?

It’s so hard.

I wish you’d understand what I feel, not just Mama’s.

Ninay...

Ninay, listen to me.

All I ask of you is that you study hard.

I’ll help you anyway I can.

That’s all I ask of you.

I hope you understand me.

- Tonette, do you think— - Ninay—

- You think that’s easy to understand? - Ninay, listen to me.

I do not want to bear a grudge.

Because no matter what we do, she is still our mother.

I’m here with you, anyway.

- Tonette. - I’m with you. Just listen to me.

I will work hard and do all I can for you…

…just so you’ll graduate.

Thank you, Tonette.

I won’t leave you.

Go ahead.

- Good morning, ma'am. - Hey, good morning.

Hey Ninay, on your way to class?

Come on.

Hey Jao, let’s have dinner tonight in our house.

I’ll cook adobo.

Oh, sure.

How nice of you, ma’am.

I’ll wait for you.

Alright, ma’am. Be safe!

- Ninay, let’s eat together later, alright? - Sure.

What will we have, is it adobo?

Go on, you might be late for your class.

- Okay. - See you.

- Bye. - Take care, sister!

- Tonette! - Hello.

Can we eat together later?

Sorry, I will have dinner with Ninay.

I’ll go ahead.

Alright.

- I have to go. - Okay.

Good day class,

so we’re going to discuss about the benefits of biodiversity,

and these are the fundamental support or services

that a healthy ecosystem provides.

One is the ecosystem services,

so regarding fundamental services of light support,

we’re going back to the ecosystem services that it provides.

For example, clean air -

how do the plants provide services like these?

Of course they produce oxygen,

absorb carbon dioxide and filter pollutants...

These nutrients are vital for plants to grow…

The bees, butterflies, birds and other animals, pollinate crops...

Ninay, open the door, maybe it’s Jao.

Oh!

Come in.

I'll bring this one..

That’s a lot of food.

Come, let’s eat.

- Have a seat. - Thanks.

Don’t be shy, seat’s free.

Just eat, Jao.

Thank you.

Here, Ninay.

Thank you, Tonette.

It's delicious.

Thanks.

Looks delicious, what dish is that?

Adobo? My favorite!

My sister cooks a mean adobo,

that’s my favorite too.

- Sorry. - Dig in.

- Here, Ninay. - Thank you.

- So, how have you been? - I’m okay.

How about you guys?

We’re okay.

How’s your work?

It’s alright, the people here are nice.

Like you two.

It’s just the two of you living here?

Yes, just me and Ninay,

because Mama is living abroad.

She has another family now,

so I’m left to care for Ninay.

- Sorry. - It’s okay.

You have a good security agency?

Yes, my agency’s okay, that’s why I’ve stuck with them.

Before I got assigned to this village,

I worked at San Mateo Village.

I worked there for five years.

Lucky I got transferred here.

The residents there were awful.

It’s a good thing you thought of transferring here, Jao.

Yes, I’m glad I did.

Are you full, Jao?

Yes, I ate a lot.

- Good. - Thanks!

It’s nothing.

Drink water.

I’m good.

I need to get going, it’s getting late already.

Is that so? Alright then.

- Alright. - Alright. Thanks again.

Sure, welcome.

Tonette, I’ll walk with him to the gate.

Alright, you take care.

Tonette, thank you.

Tonette might catch us!

Ninay?

Ninay?

Yes?

Hey, Jao!

What time does your shift end?

At six, why?

Do you want to come with me later?

I’ll buy something at the mall, would you be free to come with me?

I can’t,

my brother and I have plans already.

- Oh, really? - Yes, ma’am.

Alright, maybe next time.

- I'm sorry. - We’ll go ahead.

[classroom chatter]

[Hi Jao, we don't have classes.]

[My sister is not around. Let's meet.]

[classroom chatter]

- I need to go now. - Sure. Take care.

[classroom chatter]

They announced that the professor will be absent!

It’s confirmed?

[classroom chatter]

[students cheering]

[classroom chatter]

Tonette, I’ll accompany you home later, okay?

Your girlfriend might see me.

She’s not my girlfriend.

You flirt!

Tonette!

- Ninay, you're early! - I’ll go home now,

the professor’s absent.

Really?

There’s food in the fridge, make sure you eat.

- Alright. Thank you. - Okay, take care now.

Come on.

You’re so persistent!

You don’t have plans for later anyway, right?

Stop it.

Come on.

You’re so naughty.

- I need to go now. - Sure.

Thank you.

Did you enjoy?

Of course I did.

I want you to always be happy.

It goes without saying.

I love you, Ninay.

You're the one that makes me happy.

Really?

Ninay?

Ninay?

Ninay?

Ninay, I brought something for you!

- Come see! - It's a lot!

You bought so many things.

What's this?

This is for you.

I bought that for you.

- Make sure you eat. - Thank you!

- There’s more. - Wow, I'm so hungry!

Let's eat.

Have you eaten already?

Not yet. Good timing.

I bought a lot of things for you.

- Here, look. I got some groceries too. - Thank you!

Jao!

Come here!

For a while, brother.

Yes, ma’am?

Um... I cooked.

Maybe you want to have lunch here?

- Ma'am? - I’ll take care of you.

I’m not allowed leave my post.

They might reprimand me.

I cooked this, call Fred too.

Give this to him.

Fred! Ma’am is calling you.

Fred, this is for you.

- Have a taste, I made that. - Thank you.

That’s a lot.

It would be nice if Jao can eat lunch here.

Is that alright with you?

Okay, ma’am, I’ll just inform the others.

Okay.

Bro, you take over my post.

I’ll wait for you, Jao!

Come inside!

The chicken soup smells great.

You like this?

- I’ll serve you. - Let me do it.

Okay.

I’ll just squeeze some lime.

This is my mother’s favorite.

Mhm!

Where’s your mother now?

My mother?

Here, Ninay.

She remarried.

What?

That’s life.

That’s why it’s always just the two of you in this house.

Here, Ninay.

Dig in.

Thanks.

Eat a lot.

You too, Ninay!

Let me taste this.

Is it good?

Your cooking is really delicious.

This is my favorite among all the dishes she’s cooked?

You guys really look like you’re close to each other.

Well, we’ve been left on our own here.

Anyway, where do you live now, Jao?

I stay in Novaliches.

It’s stressful going back home, the traffic’s always heavy.

It’s been raining, so it’ll be harder for you?

Yes, especially when I commute.

I don’t often use my motorbike, gas is expensive now.

It won’t stop raining anytime soon.

You want to stay here for a while?

It’s convenient.

- Don’t be shy, eat! - Yes, I will.

Ninay, eat some more.

Yes, I will.

Delicious.

Yes, it’s delicious.

You have plans later?

I’ll go to the mall, maybe you can accompany me.

I'm sorry...

My shift buddy isn’t here yet, so my shift will be extended.

Is that so?

I’m really sorry.

It’s fine.

You’ve eaten a lot, Ninay, you already finished your plate?

That’s how awesome sister’s cooking is.

Look at you, you already had two servings of rice!

She gave it to me, I didn’t beg for it.

Is it delicious?

Yes!

And also the climate regulations.

The forests and oceans acts as carbon sinks.

They absorb avast amount of carbon dioxide.

It helps stabilize our global pattern.

Another pollinations of course, the bees and the butterflies, birds...

Hi, Tonette.

Hello, sir, good morning.

Yeah, uh...

Maybe you’d like to become a full-time student assistant?

I can recommend you.

Uh...

I appreciate your offer, sir,

but my priority is for my sister to graduate.

Sorry.

Well, it’s okay.

But if you change your mind,

our office is right there,

We can help you become a student assistant. Okay?

- Yes, sir. - Okay?

Good day!

What are you doing here?

Tonette might catch us.

Ninay, don’t be like that.

Stop it.

It’s our chance while she’s away.

She'll be here soon.

Just relax, okay?

I missed you.

Jao, my sister might scold me.

Please?

Time is running.

Ninay, please.

What the hell?

Jao?

Sister…

Don't call me 'sister'!

How long has this been going on?

Huh?

It’s not what you think.

What do you mean 'it’s not what I think'?

- Tonette, we can explain. - Explain what?

That you’ve turned this house into a motel?

- Sister, we can explain. - Huh? Don’t call me ‘sister’!

You’ve been flirting with him?

- I’ll explain, Tonette! - Huh? Don’t say my name!

Calm down!

What do you mean 'calm down'?

With what you've been doing do you think I'll calm down?

- Please listen! - What? Don’t you touch me!

And never call me ‘sister’ again!

I’m the one to blame.

I quit school to work so you can study.

This is how you repay me?

We just fell in love!

- What? - I'm sorry!

I am not your sister anymore!

- Tonette... - What does this mean?

I'm the one to blame, please.

Jao?

Ninay...

- Get out! - I'm so sorry!

Stop calling me that!

From now on, you will forget that you have a family.

And never call me ‘sister’ again!

- Ninay, get out of this house! - That's enough!

Get out!

Get out!

Get out of here, get out of my house.

Ninay!

I really want to hurt you,

but I can't.

- I'm sorry. - You don't have a sister.

- Get out! - Ninay? Ninay!

Even now, I can’t believe you two were capable of doing that.

I’m sorry.

I got carried away.

We both did.

Sorry.

I made you something.

Go grab your things.

Stay with me.

So I can serve you.

You can save money.

Stay with me.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Keep eating.

At least you're here with me.

Here’s water.

Thanks.

Jao?

- How are you? - I’m okay.

I think I’ll drop out from school,

I can’t pay for my studies.

What?

That’s a waste.

I’ll just look for a job.

What kind of work?

I don’t know yet.

Ninay,

I want to help you…

but I can’t even help myself.

I understand you.

It’s okay.

You can try talking to your sister.

Jao, I can’t.

That will just make things worse.

She’ll understand and she’ll understand us.

We are the only ones left in the house.

Don't worry.

She will still accept you.

Us?

We have to be honest with her.

I'll tell her.

No.

I'll take care for this.

So we’re going to continue our discussions

and these have something to do with culture and economic values.

So, what does it mean?

Biodiversity directly supports our way of life

and our economy.

Tourism is one.

So, it has something to do with the beautiful beaches...

Hey, Jao!

What brings you here?

Come in.

Have a seat.

- Um, no, it's okay. - Come on.

Tonette. Let’s talk.

What happened?

Is there any problem?

See...

I don’t want to lie to you anymore.

Why?

Ninay and I have been having an affair for a long time,

she just didn’t want to tell you.

Because she’s afraid of you.

She’s afraid to disappoint you.

I don’t want to keep deceiving you.

Even Ninay,

especially for myself.

Am I hearing you right?

Are you serious?

Why didn't you tell me from the start?

I lost control.

It all happened so fast.

You lost control?

I don’t want to pretend anymore.

Why didn’t you tell me sooner, Jao?

What do you think of me?

Huh?

You think I can act like that’s nothing to me?

And with my own sister, too?

Tonette, I didn’t mean that it was nothing.

- That's why I'm trying to tell you... - What then?

You should’ve been honest before this, Jao!

That’s why I told you,

because I don’t want this to go on longer.

Jao...

Jao, I thought you were being true.

Or...

You should’ve told me, at least.

Right?

Tonette...

- Mama? - Tonette.

- Mama? - Love, I am coming home.

We are alright here.

- And... - Mohammad is such a womanizer.

Is that so?

Whatever problem you have with your own family,

try to fix it.

I am coming home.

We’re okay here.

Don't you want to see me?

I want to be with you two again.

Wait for me, okay?

- Don't you want to be with me? - We’re doing fine here now, Ma.

We don’t need you anymore.

I hope you understand that.

Alright, Mama.

Please always take care of yourself.

Goodbye, Mama.

Wait for me.

Good bye, Mama.

- Tonette... - Why?

I know where Ninay is.

And so?

Fix your problem.

You two are the ones who are suffering.

I will be the one to leave.

It’s all my fault, anyway.

Ninay, let’s go home.

- Come home. - Tonette, I'm sorry.

Come with me now.

Alright? Let’s go.

Forgive me.

No, Tonette, I should be the one to apologize to you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Don’t think of it anymore.

I love you, okay?

What I did was unforgivable.

Ninay...

I’m sorry for everything, too.

Forgive me for what I’ve done.

I was selfish.

Forgive me for everything,

I didn't mean it.

- I am the one who feels ashamed. - I am the one.

I can’t lose you, Ninay.

Let’s forgive and forget everything, okay?

Let’s go home. Come.

Thank you.
