Pia Alonzo Bareback…

Philippines!

You look great! So, tell me what happened…

My God, he hit me! He broke my nose! It’s hard to be a soldier’s son when you’re gay.

As if, I didn’t know…they too, have same sex activities in their initiations at the PMA.

Joke only.

It’s a good thing that Benjo’s mom, Mrs. Vicente hired me as her executive assistant.

Then she let me stay here for free… I just have to oversee the place and look after Benjo.

You mean, you do not go home anymore? You no longer see your father?

Just last year, he passed on.

My God, just a week without poop it was immediately diagnosed as colon cancer stage 4.

I wanted to see him during his wake but, my family won’t let me. They’re ashamed of me.

I know that they will only share the inheritance among themselves… and they’ve counted me out.

That thing they say, “Blood is thicker than water”, that is not true,

because we can find a family even if we are not related.

Like what Baby Jesus said, we are all family, we are brothers and sisters.

It’s good that we also talk, I do not have to talk myself all the time like I am doing a monologue in my room.

Yeah, right…

Wait, where are you going…

Wait, for a while…

Just wait, I have to poop… I can no longer hold it!

(Singing) Those shit in the river, they float as you approach

Fuck that shit!

Are you there, Benjo?

Isn’t it obvious? You don’t even knock!

Why didn’t you lock the door?

So, it’s my fault! Get out!

What!

I can’t stand the smell!

I am not done yet!

Shit! Get out now, please! I don’t have my towel in here!

I am not finished yet…

It stinks!

Get out! Get out now, Emil!

What do you want me to do, I am not done yet!

Oh my, whatever!

TITLE CREDITS

Wow! It’s so nice here, Baby (Beh)

Baby? (beh) What beh? Don’t you ever call me, beh… cheap!

Why? What is wrong with that? It’s cute!

Baby (Beh) … in short, for Benjo!

What’s wrong with that?

Benj or Jo… that’s it!

They’re just the same!

If you want, you can also call me Beh! If you like?

Why do I have to call you Beh? I will never call you Be, remember that!

It’s cute! Beh!

You know, I always come up here when I feel bad or if I want to be alone.

But you know

you won’t be alone anymore… (giggles)

whatever

Incarceration

Our Scope and Delimitation is from Marcos Dictatorship up to the Edsa Revolution, right?

Yes Baby (Beh)

Stop calling me baby!

I guess we need to interview somebody.

Who?

Someone who has a connection with the Marcoses.

Can you tell me the truth , Benjo? The Barangay police mentioned that your family has a connection with the Marcoses.

Is that True?

No.

We don't have a connection with the Marcoses

Benjo… Emil…

like what they say, History is being written and rewritten by the ritters!

Just kidding, guys!

History is being written and rewritten by the victors!

What hurts is that, the conscious, intentional misstatements about the past

that are now being used to push one’s agenda of going back to power!

What a shame!

And many fall into that trap!

Then, there is social media. That is a powerful tool… to brainwash the minds of the young.

That is why, it is better to know the truth and not be dependent with Google.

Be personal. Feel the truth!

Feel the truth that should begin with your selves!

With yourself!

Ok?

I think this is okay, because we have cope with the scope and limitation of the thesis and complied with the hypothesis. What? Do we give this a go?

Honestly, I am not happy with our thesis, we have limited bibliography,

they would think we just relied with Google. We can’t place those references as footnotes because we only got them online.

In short, no personal touch.

Why? If those were taken from textbooks we’d have that personal touch?

That’s not what I meant, I think we need to do some interview.

Interview? Wait… Kelly! That sissy who lives down stairs! That gay make-up artist!

His father is a RAM Officer!

RAM? What the… Reformed the armed forces movement!

Yes! His father defected from Marcos during the EDSA revolution!

Why didn’t you tell me right away? Let’s go, let’s do the interview!

Okay, let me take care of it

You have two laptops… While me… I only have a Cheap mobile phone…

I’m giving that to you…

What?

I am giving that laptop to you, nobody uses it anyway…

Is that right, Benjo?

Thank you, Benjo… you know, I badly need one!

Why? Why? What’s so funny?

Kelly, we were all locked down in this building at the same time, and if we had covid, we would have been sick for a long time!

Look at us, we’re not even sick!

There’s none! Look! We have no fever, whatsoever!

So, you better remove that!

Is that, right?

…because I thought covid is airborne,

in water,

in food. Amazing, right!

Just like Miss Air, Miss Water and Miss Earth!

I’m sorry but, I am Miss Universe!

Well, in that case…

…presenting, ladies and gentlemen… Miss Universe!

You thought, I am not dressed for the occasion?

Wow! You’re all dolled up!

Wait a minute, what Miss Universe, are you saying? You always end up as fourth runner up in this neighbourhood’s backyard pageants!

Also, this is Kelly… also known as Calixto Aragon Jr., you’ve been staying in this building for a while so, you can’t keep any secret from me.

Calixto Aragon Jr.?

Yes!

Great! It suits you well! Pu-ssy

What Pu-ssy?

Pu!

Pussy!

Wait, what pussy, when she doesn’t even have money to buy stuff for enhancement…

Hey! Hey! Stop it! Drink! Drink!

Wait! I really have to drink from this bottle?

Wait! Just wait! Don’t drink from the bottle, let me get a glass… Wait!

Oh! So, he lives here now?

Yes?

From where is he?

He’s my classmate…

And… from where is he?

Here you go… this is for you, red, because you’re wearing red and this one’s for you!

There you go! Let’s drink!

-What’s this? -Let’s start!

I wasn’t informed! So we’re having breakfast now, good morning!

That’s why there’s cheese, where’s the bread basket?

Benjo, he really mean it! I don’t get his drift!

this is the proper glass for wine, Emil…

Yes, that is the one

No problem! If this is the right one, let’s transfer it then…

Are you upset? You sound like its our fault… Is it our fault?

Give me that… give it to me

My goodness… let me pour it… Thank you for inviting us,Benjo… thank you!

No worries! Cheers!

What if I die?

You won’t die, Pads…

I still have many dreams… for you, for us, for our baby.

Remember this, Pads… you won’t die…. Nobody will die in this family.

What if you get infected.

(Singing) It really hurts! , To love like this Whoever you chose ,You can never have it all It really hurts

Hey! Hey! Hey! I have a question for you both… Do you do NikTalk?

Nik talk?, yeah!

Who is your favourite Nik talker?

You go first… this is your idea.

-Boobsie! Boobsie! Boobsie! Boobsie! -Ears!

Boobsie! Boobsie! Boobsie! Boobsie!

-Cunt! -Cunt!

Oh! Cunt!

I thought so, Benjo you have one! We were still young, you already have one!

Here, I have a question for you, what is the essence of being gay?

The essence of being gay, Is love.

-Why love? -Why?

Because when gays fall in love, she gives all, all of it.

Until nothing more is left for himself.

So the saying, the reason to live is to love and be loved,

is not true for gay people because even if they get nothing in return,

they would still continue to fall in love.

When will all these end

we’ve been locked down for days now.

-You’re infected! You have covid. -No, I am not sick, I just choked.

Let's continue

I thought, I could spend the night with you Emil but…

there is already a winner!

Congratulations!

Why did you sleep without hearing my answers to your questions?

Yes, I'm a child of RAM Officer

But I'm not proud of that.

He Seceded from Marcos, he secededfrom the next president, and from the next.

What a turncoat!

No principles

Just like how he defines my sexuality.

He's wrong

Very wrong

Why love?

Why not?
