Do you want to go back to your old life?

It seems...

...like things are going nowhere.

Going back to our previous lives

seem to be the obvious solution to all these.

Why are you saying that?

Because that's reality.

Reality? What's is real?

Nay?

Where's Caloy?

Didn't he mention anything to you?

No he did not.

He left very early.

He mentioned going up to the mountains.

He was in such a rush.

'TIL WE MEET AGAIN

How has everyone fared here?

We are ok, Bulan.

It's good that you are back.

Will you finally accept the responsibility of leading the tribe?

Would that be your wish?

For me to lead?

If you are up to the responsibilities.

Why not?

Determination and strength of will is needed to lead the tribe.

It is my goad to protect and to assist the tribe.

I think the time I have given you...

...has been enough...

...for you to finally face the responsibilities that you have to shoulder.

My loyalty lies with the tribe.

But, my will has not been made up to lead, Aman.

You need to lead!

You are my only heir...

...the one who can replace me as the leader.

Aman, I will do what I can.

Bulan is back, and it looks like the leadership of the tribe will be given to him.

You need to go back to the tribe.

I will go back to the tribe.

And I will take back what is rightfully mine.

Bulan!

My happiness if overflowing to see you well and alive Lakay.

It was nature that saved me.

I admire your trust in the power of the elements...

We live to be the guardians and the protectors of Mother Earth.

So I know, nature will not let us down.

It is true then that your concern for the tribe is genuine.

And of your love for nature.

Because all of us have a mission,

to live...

...and be responsible

in protecting whatever we see here on Earth.

(Inaudible chatter)

Lakay...

...can we talk?

Everyone know how important the tribe is to you.

I admire you for your dedication...

...to keep everything here safe.

I hope that is your will as well.

I may have left once...

but, that was only to prepare me for the responsibilities I will have to face.

It's not about being prepared...

it's on how your heart beats for your people; the Libulan tribe.

My mind is bothered.

Bulan...

...you don't have to overthink everything.

I do not know how.

Don't equate your responsibility...

...and that of your happiness.

How?

Your responsibility is to lead the tribe...

...and you are meant to be wedded to me...

...that is what you need to do.

But,

...that is not what your heart and your mind are internally screaming...

Let go...

...do what will make you happy.

Even I...

didn't really know what could make me happy.

But my heart has finally told me.

What...

...and who...can make me feel complete.

What do you mean exactly?

Going back to the tribe is my responsibility.

But I learned to be happy.

And to love...

...of someone like me...

...someone who understands...

...and will equally love me in return...

Thank you Limaya.

Stop thinking about what others may think.

Listen to the whispers that your heart has been saying...

...hear, and you will know...

...what can truly make you happy.

Go...

Nay...

Caloy,

I'm so glad you're back home.

John has been waiting for you.

You're back!

I told you I'd be back.

I prepared some snacks for us to share.

I'm sure Caloy is famished.

It's good that you are back.

Nanay will be happy again.

Because you are here again.

Why do you always disappear on us?

You should expect that already Nay.

Whenever there is a problem up in the mountains...

he appears here.

When there is a problem here...

he will escape to the safety of his tribe.

That's not how it is Ditas.

Oh, really?

Enlighten me, because that's obviously the case.

Ditas, I just noticed...

...why are you always mad at Caloy?

Nay!

As much as I try to be civil with these two...

...i just can't!

Especially when...

I'm reminded...

...how my life became miserable...

...because of these two!

What have they ever done to you?

You really do not know Nay?

Or have you forgotten?

What are you talking about?

I don't even think you know...

...because we were kids then.

But to me? ... Everything is branded in my mind!

Especially...

...when you were all selfish to let me be with my father.

Ditas...

...child...

You all knew my father was not at fault...

...but you were the ones who sent him to jail.

For a mistake that was not even his?

You and your damn tribe...

...were the ones who sent him behind bars.

It was against the law for him to cut down those trees.

My father did not know those trees were protected.

But it was still illegal and disatrous to the balance of nature.

He is without sin!

To think you are family.

You could have done something to save the life of my father.

But you chose to let it be.

Look what happened...

...he was jailed.

But the case is still ongoing Ditas...

...it has been a long time Nay...

My father is my closest kin... my own immediate family.

And we are not together.

Nanay is here...

...she has been looking after you, hasn't she?

Yes, she has...

...now.

After you both took all the time spent...

...that she should have been taking care of me...

...when I was left here alone!

Ditas...

I needed to work then...

...so I can help with your father's case.

He is my son!

Nay, I understand...

...I understand...

...that you had to do that!

I had to understand....

...that you had to take care of someone else's child...

...for us!

I get it...

...that you got attached to John

so it was not easy for you to leave him.

I get it... I understand everything!

But... I was still left!

My child, I am so sorry...

Even working for the Mayor, I had to do it...

...so I can ask for assistance...

...hoping against hope that my father will be freed...

I love you Ditas.

When my father was taken into custody...

...my grandmother left me...

...I was living from cousin to cousin....

...all of them threw it to my face...

...that I was a freeloader!

All of those, I endured!

Because thats probably what life is all about.

Ditas, I'm sorry.

I'ts ok.

What's done is done.

It has happened.

But the pain...

...the despair...

It's all here!

Ever since I grew up...

...until this very moment...

I keep begging for even the slightest love from strangers.

It's agonizing to be alone.

It's even harder to put on a brave front.

My sons...

Nay... (both)

Nay, Ditas' outburst made me think...

There are a lot of things that we do...

oftentimes, we don't consider...

if we are hurting others...

We always think its for the best...

...but...

...it may not be enough.

Sometimes...

...its not even the right thing to do.

I suddenly remember my mother.

I lost her,

when I was not even by her side.

Your mother loved you so much Caloy.

It was just hard for her to climb up and see you when you were with the tribe and she was sick then.

So...

she thought it best to

leave you with your father.

John: And...everything that is happening

has a reason.

Probably to make us stronger.

Boys...

always put in your minds...

nothing is permanent in this world.

Things come...

...sometimes we have to say goodbye...

But every day of our lives...

we must not forget to be thankful to God.

And hopefully,

Love should always bind us and connect us...

...love for ourselves...

...and love for those we value...

I love you very much, my boys!
