Eloy?

Hi, Lena.

What’s wrong with you?

So that’s how you’re welcoming me?

Didn’t your parents teach you good manners?

So this is where you’re living now.

Does your new landlord know you don’t pay rent?

Please don’t make a scene here.

I’m not here to cause trouble.

I’m just here to collect what you owe me.

That’s still four months’ rent.

I’m really sorry, but I don’t have the money yet.

Don’t worry.

Hmm?

You can pay me in some other way.

I heard

you’re an orphan now.

No one can stop you anymore.

Why don’t we just...

pretend that we’re married.

- We’ll make love... - Eloy...

Just as I thought

you just acted innocent when you were still my tenant.

Don’t you dare go back here.

If you do, I’ll report you to the police.

Ma’am, yes, ma’am.

Shit!

White cheese!

White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

White cheese!

Four for 120 pesos!

White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

- I'm not... - White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

Hold on, I’ll call you again later.

Can I try?

Yes, go ahead.

Mmm!

Is it good?

Yes, it’s good.

Can you buy some?

I haven’t sold anything.

I need cash to pay my bills and tuition.

Okay, I’ll buy everything.

Really?

Thank you!

Oh, sorry.

- I’m sorry. - It’s fine.

How much a piece?

Four for 120 pesos.

Wow.

Just keep the change.

Thank you.

By the way, I’m a supplier for dairy products.

If you want to improve your white cheese, call me.

Manny de Leon?

You’re so damn good.

Oh, shit!

Ah, shit!

Oh, shit! Damn!

You’re so damn good.

You’re so good.

Oh, shit!

My husband's coming home tomorrow.

This is going to be our last.

I know.

White cheese!

Please buy.

Four for 120 pesos!

Insufficient load?

Ugh...

Too bad.

White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

Hey, buy some cheese. Miss!

White cheese! Four for 120 pesos!

Miss!

Miss, would you like some white cheese?

That’s cheap—four for 120 pesos.

They’re freshly made.

You might want some fresh carabao’s milk too.

Are you new here?

Uh...

I’ve already been staying here for a few months.

I don’t go out much. I’m usually at school or at home.

I’m just doing some side hustles during the school break.

Ah...

So that’s why it's my first time seeing you.

Do you live around here?

Yes.

I live just a few blocks away.

I’m Shena. You are?

I’m Elena, but you can call me Lena.

Shena, please buy some.

I haven’t sold anything yet. I’m saving up for my tuition.

Please.

That’s cheap, you’ll get four for 120.

- Please. - Next time.

Is this carabao’s milk?

Yes, miss. This is carabao’s milk.

I’ll get one.

You’ll buy this?

- Yes. - Okay.

Oh no.

Miss, did you see the girl here a while ago?

She left already.

Huh?

Do you offer free tasting?

Didn’t I tell you not to show up here again?

I missed you!

What are you doing?

We had a deal.

I told you not to come back here.

Enough of that nonsense.

Let me go!

I know you like this.

You bastard! Try me!

Come on!

You scumbag! Don’t you dare go back here!

- Sit down. - Are you okay?

Sit down.

Thank you.

If you hadn't been here, things could have gone much worse for me.

Who’s that guy?

He used to be my landlord.

My family owes him.

But we already had a deal.

Yet he still bothers me.

Do you live here by yourself?

My parents passed away just last year.

Are you okay?

It’s time for enrollment again.

My tuition’s too expensive.

Ma, Pa, don't worry...

I can do this.

You’ve been staring at that for a while now.

I’ve barely saved anything.

I won’t make it in time for enrollment.

Think positive...

You’ll have enough money.

Is your white cheese ready?

Yes, you want to try it?

Your milk makes it taste better.

- Really? - Yes, try it.

Hmm...

But you’re even better.

Here you go again.

Wait, you have work, right?

I took a leave so I could spend more time with you.

Four liters, right?

Alright.

Thank you.

Why do you look so sad?

I didn’t earn much.

This is only enough for the prepaid electricity.

I just wonder why.

Your milk improved the taste of my cheese.

It’s just not your day.

Let’s try again tomorrow.

We might earn more.

It's like this everyday...

If this continues, I might quit school.

I’m barely saving anything.

Stand up.

Huh?

- Stand up. - Why?

- Why? - Just do what I say.

Just stand up.

Hold on, I’ll just get something.

Huh?

Take off your clothes, then get in here.

Huh? Why?

Just do as I say.

You’re really good, Lena,

but your white cheese needs more flavor.

I’m sure if everyone got to taste you,

they won't be able to get enough of you.

Can I buy five?

- Alright. - Give me two.

- Here. - It’s our turn.

- Give me two also. - Okay.

- Lena, I’ll buy also. - Me, too.

- Lena, I’m in a hurry, give me some. - Here.

- Lena, I’m in a hurry, give me some. - Here.

- Reserve some for me, I’ll be back later. - Okay, no problem.

- How many are you getting? - Two, two.

- I just got two. - Okay.

- Lena, keep this for me. - Okay, no problem.

- I’ll come back later. - Okay..

She has lots of customers.

- This one’s mine. - Okay.

[people clamoring]

- You’re in demand. - This is my second batch.

- Really, second batch already? - Hey, Manny!

I’ve been looking for you, you scumbag!

Give me back my money!

What money?

What are you talking about?

I know you stole something from me before you left.

I didn’t steal anything from you!

Miss!

You’re causing a scene. Who are you?

Stay out of this!

That guy owes me!

I’ll report you.

- [men murmuring] - Is this really what you want, Kim?

A scandal?

Go ahead, report me,

so everyone would know you’re married,

yet you had an affair.

- Wow, you’ve got some nerve! - Whoa, she's something else!

You’re brave to show up here when you’re the one who owes me!

What are you talking about?

You fooled me, Kim!

You’re married,

yet you went after me,

And what proof do you have I stole from you?

Aren’t you letting random men into your house?

Wow, Kim, can we also visit you?

You all go to hell! You go to hell!

Crazy!

We're through, you know.

That woman and I have been done for a long time.

Don’t let her get to you.

[men clamoring]

Okay.

What took you so long? I’ve been waiting for you.

You’re so impatient.

Down payment first.

Let’s go for round two.

Then you’ll have to pay more.

I’m out of money. All I have left is my tuition.

Okay. Bye.

Oh, come on!

One, two, three, four, five!

Five, six, seven, eight...

Six thousand?

I earned six thousand, Manny.

I’m almost done saving for my tuition!

I can finally keep my promise to my parents.

What we did worked.

Thank you.

You came up with that idea.

You make your white cheese taste so good.

But this was your idea. Thank you.

That’s nothing.

Manny!

Lena, you’re early.

I went ahead and opened our store.

It’d be a waste to miss out on the earnings.

This is Shena.

Yeah.

We know each other.

We’ve met before. Right, Lena?

Don’t you have work today?

No, our bosses are in a conference today.

I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping so well.

You’ve got a good salesman.

He convinced me to buy some.

She bought a lot.

Seems like it.

I’ll go ahead.

I don’t know what else you’ll sell me and I end up buying.

Here’s your white cheese.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I’ll go ahead.

We sold a lot.

Good thing she bought something.

She’s been here before, but she didn’t buy anything.

Maybe you just lack the sales talk.

Or maybe she likes you.

- Hold on, I’ll just put my savings inside. - Okay.

- Help me! My stomach aches! - Shena?

Are you okay?

What happened?

Oh?

I think I got this from your white cheese, Lena.

What?

Maybe you ate something else.

That’s the only thing I ate the whole night.

That’s impossible.

There’s no way you got poisoned by my white cheese.

I make sure my cheese is clean.

The cheese I bought from you smells a bit off.

I don’t believe you.

There’s a nearby health center here, let’s go.

No, I can take care of myself.

Just give me money.

Lena, I don’t have cash.

Take this.

Okay, thank you.

I’ll go with you.

No, I’m good.

I can manage.

I don’t believe she got poisoned from my cheese.

You can’t just brush off what happened to her.

I didn’t just brush it off, did I?

I even gave her money.

You were getting mad at her, I just stopped you.

Since you’re in the food business,

you need to watch out for people who complain.

That might end up ruining your business.

White cheese! Four for 120!

Why are there no customers today?

It’s pretty late already.

Hey, is that white cheese?

Where did you buy that?

At Shena’s.

Hers is cheaper.

You want some?

Here’s yours.

- [men clamoring] - I’ll just get one, please.

[chattering]

Here, grab this.

Your change.

[men chattering]

That woman is so shameless!

Copycat.

I bet

her stomach didn’t really hurt the other day.

That was all just an act so she could steal my recipe.

And the worst part? I even gave her money to start with her business!

You can’t avoid that.

In business, others will always try to imitate you.

I just don’t get

why she has so many customers already.

Is her cheese recipe better than mine?

You should be grateful.

You’ve become popular, so people have started imitating you.

Is dinner ready?

Yes.

Ma’am, I’m here.

Okay, I've been waiting for you.

I’ve been wanting you to try my white cheese.

- Really? - Yes.

Did you miss me?

What’s this? I ordered twenty, but there are only five here.

Ma’am, I’m really sorry. I ran out of ingredients.

Keep that!

I’m going to miss my flight.

If I had known you’d be so hard to deal with,

I should have just ordered from Shena!

Her cheese is better than yours and she’s easier to deal with!

I’m not buying that anymore!

- I’ll buy from Shena instead. - Ma’am, I’m so sorry.

Shena, I’ll be buying from you instead—your cheese is cheaper.

- Shena, give me two. - Here’s yours.

- Shena, give me twenty orders. - Here.

- From now on, we’ll buy from you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I didn’t come here to cause trouble, Lena.

Well, that’s new!

I’ve had my share of bad luck.

My house caught fire.

Even my apartments were destroyed.

I’m sorry, I can’t help you.

Where’s your boyfriend?

He’s at work. Why?

Are you sure?

He’s a salesman.

He’s nothing like you—just expecting to live off what he inherited.

Just be careful, Lena.

You’re trusting someone you don’t even know.

I’ve got something for you. I reached my quota.

So we can eat something other than white cheese.

Where did you meet your quota?

In sales, or in bed?

Are you cheating on me?

What?

Are you seeing another woman, Manny?

Stop with that nonsense!

Just admit it so we can be done with this.

What’s wrong with you?

Why did you suddenly get paranoid?

Have you ever caught me with another woman?

Someone saw you!

Who is it?

Tell me!

You’re just inventing stories!

I’m sorry, Manny.

The problem is, you trust others more than me.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know what I was thinking.

I’m sorry, Manny.

Some of my money is missing.

I still prefer it when you're the one bathing me in milk, love.

Are you offering free taste?

Yes.

Lena...

Oh, it’s you.

So you sell yourself—I mean, white cheese.

Your milk smells familiar, it seems…

I think I’ve tried this before. Who’s your supplier?

My supplier?

It’s a secret.

By the way, what happened to the money I gave you when you got poisoned?

Ah...

That 500 pesos?

That wasn’t enough.

Is that so?

Ah, so that’s how you were able to start your business.

Lena, for your information,

I worked as an OFW in Hong Kong.

That’s how I managed to get this started.

Unlike you

who starts earning a little,

and suddenly thinks you’re rich.

Congratulations, then.

Sometimes thieves become more successful.

I did not steal anything, Lena.

Your customers just got tired of your cheese.

Well, it’s your fault.

Your white cheese

has no flavor.

Boring.

So that’s why you copied me?

Mine’s better than yours, Lena.

That’s not the same thing.

You’re better than me?

I don’t sell old cheese.

Are these really what you’re selling?

You might go viral.

Cheese

tastes even better

as it gets old.

Well, that’s not what he said.

Said who?

Our customer.

He said that

your cheese smells awful.

And it’s dirty.

My cheese is clean.

Unlike yours.

My white cheese tastes better than yours!

I’m way better than you.

- No, I am better! - That’s not true!

- Me! - Me!

Aren’t you going to stop?

Aren’t you going to stop?

Lena, Lena!

Why are you two fighting? Stop!

- Lena, let’s go! - That woman

is making a scene here!

You started it!

Lena!

Stop that nonsense. Get lost!

Let’s go!

What?

Are you going to buy or not?

That brings bad luck.

What?

If I were you, I’d stop that.

Stop what?

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

Sir Hermit,

no offense,

I don’t need your sarcastic advice.

If I were you,

just go back to the mountains

and there you can keep talking to Mother Nature.

Maybe you might actually be helpful there.

What?

What are you waiting for?

Get lost!

You might just bring me bad luck.

Damn it.

He’s acting like a know-it-all.

Let go of me!

You’ve got no shame.

You even went there just to cause trouble.

Now I’m the one who’s embarrassing? Huh?

Now I’m the one who’s embarrassing?

What about you and Shena?

A.K.A. Sir Donald,

A.K.A. Love.

What the hell is that about?

I gave you a chance

to tell the truth.

But what did you do?

You lied to me.

You even gave Shena my recipe. You bastard!

You’re right! Shut up!

Shena’s my mistress!

What do you want me to do? Beg for your forgiveness?

Lena, I did not promise you anything!

I was just playing with you.

You enjoyed it too, didn’t you?

What are you doing?

That’s mine!

No! This is mine!

You wouldn’t even have this if it weren’t for me!

I worked hard for that! That’s for my tuition!

Manny!

Manny!

Manny!

Manny!

Manny, give me back my money!

Lena.

Lena.

You shouldn’t be wasting your tears on that guy.

He’s worthless.

What do you even know? Get lost!

I’ll leave,

but listen to me first.

I’ve known for a while that your boyfriend’s been fooling you.

Are you keeping an eye on your money?

The day I came here to see you, I saw him with that woman.

Lena’s been earning a lot, huh?

Thanks to me.

Didn’t she catch you?

When was I caught?

You have a point. Like what you did with Kim,

Tanya, Annie, and Faye.

We’ve saved enough.

We can leave now.

Already?

Don’t rush it.

This is still not enough.

Besides, I still want to know who’s better between me and Lena.

Are you kidding?

I’m a competitive person, Manny.

Poor Lena, I’m getting all her customers.

Give me a bath now.

That’s not true!

You know.

I’ve been wanting to tell you the truth,

but you’re blinded by your love for that man.

Now that you know what they’ve done to you,

Are you just going to let them make a fool of you?

Thank you.

So this is where I can find you, at this cheap store.

Just like you,

cheap.

Say anything you like,

but Manny won’t be going back to you.

I didn’t come here for him.

You!

My parents taught me to fight, Shena.

I won’t just let Manny abandon me for you.

And I won’t allow you to have Manny either...

Manny’s mine, Lena.

I’ll let him go to you…

if you agree to what I want.

Let’s have a threesome.

Let’s let Manny decide

who’s better between the two of us.

You still don’t know, Lena?

Manny already left you.

That’s because I asked him to leave.

If you agree to what I want,

you’ll never see me again.

Ever.

And if I don’t agree?

We’re both competitive, Shena.

That’s why

I don’t believe you’ll turn down my challenge.

Be at my house tomorrow at 5 PM,

I’ll be expecting you.

Can I try?

Yes, sir.

- It’s good. I’ll buy everything. - Thank you!

- You bastard! - Come on, try me!

If you hadn't been here, things could have gone much worse for me.

This is Shena.

We’ve met before.

Just be careful, Lena.

You’re trusting someone you don’t even know.

Yes, you’re right!

Shena’s my mistress!

Lena, I did not promise you anything!

I was just playing with you.

What will you do with that?

You wouldn’t even have this if it weren’t for me!

I worked hard for that! That’s for my tuition!

Oh, you’re late.

You’re too impatient.

I heard you’re a masochist.

What now?

Are we just going to stare at each other?

Are you ready?

Since yesterday...

Come in.

So, what now? What are we going to do?

Hold on, I’ll just get something.

You know what this is for, right?

Eat first before you leave.

We’re good.

We’ll just eat at home.

Let’s eat.

That would be such a waste.

I told Manny that you’re leaving.

We’ll miss you.

Where will you live now?

I don’t know yet.

You won’t see me anymore.

Ever.

You have a new recipe?

- You like it? - Yes, it’s good.

- Right? - Yes.

What did you add to this?

A new flavor.

It’s unique.

It’s unique, no doubt.

Water, please.

You can go here now.

Is that them Manny and Shena?

I told you

that poison is effective.

Here.

You can have their cellphones. You can sell those.

Thank you.

What’s your plan now?

Where are you going to live now?

I’ll make money off the people in the new place I’m moving to.

Take care of these two.

Thank you, Eloy.

I never thought

that in the end,

you’d be on my side.

We’re even now.

White cheese!

Delicious white cheese!

White cheese!

Delicious white cheese!

Delicious white cheese!

White cheese!

Delicious white cheese!
