All language subtitles for The Annulment 2019-hi_engcp

♪♪

I thought I’ve already
mapped out my life.

Focus on my studies.

Graduate with honors.

Work in a field where I’m passionate about.

I forgot about planning my marriage.

I fell in love and…

I got lost in the feeling.

It feels so good to be in love.

Annulment is a very
complicated process.

Here in the Philippines,
marriage is very sacred.

So it’s difficult to file for annulment.

You have to go through a lot of steps.

You need to consider a lot of things.

Are you ready for that, Gari?

You shouldn’t only be financially ready.

You also need to be ready physically
and most especially, emotionally.

Okay?

So what are the grounds for annulment?

There are several.

We need to take the best direction

so we can win your case.

Seven years of marriage
with Sherwin is a long time.

In those seven years,

did you really get to know your partner?

What did you like and hate about him?

And most importantly,

did you really love him?

Thank you so much!

Happy anniversary, mom and dad.
[applause]

Thank you!

Thank you. That was a lovely song

from the lovely daughter

of Mr. and Mrs. Salvador.

[people cheering]

Please call my sister, Gari.

So we have another singer.
[giggles]

Let’s call on stage, Gari!

[people cheers]

What?

- Go!, Gari!
- Count me out!

- Are you not ready?
- Go!, Gari!

- Oh my God.
- Go, Gari!

- Hi, baby.
- Hi, mom.

Hi, dad.

So Gari, you’re going to do a rap song?

What song?

[people cheering]

Who wants to help
Gari sing the rap song?

Go, Gari!

This guy!

Dad.

You can join her.

Go ahead.

Does he really sing?

Sir, I don’t sing.

Sir I can’t, I’m a waiter.

Go!

Go, Gari!

Go, Gari!

[people cheering] [clapping]

- Let’s give it up for Gari and Sherwin!
- Is he a good singer?

[people chatter]

♫ I’m sorry, my love, I won’t stay long ♫

♫ I just want you to
hear what my heart says ♫

♫ Of this heart I offer to you ♫

♫ I hope you listen to what my
song is telling ♫ - You're so good!

♫ I want to let you know that I love you ♫

- He’s good. Who knew he could sing.
- ♫ Please listen to the beating of my heart ♫

♫ I want to let you know you’re my dream ♫

♫ I want close the gap between our worlds ♫

♫ My heart is searching for your love ♫

- Go, Gari!
- ♫ It never forgets the love and joy you bring ♫

♫ And I hope that you
can bring it all back ♫

♫ The way you look into
my heart that longs for you ♫

♫ My heart is searching for your love ♫

♫ Listen to me. ♫

♫ My heart never forgets
the love and joy you bring ♫

♫ I really do hope you
can bring it all back ♫

♫ The way you look into my heart that
longs for you. ♫ [people cheering]

You have a beautiful voice ma'am.

Really? [chuckles]

My gosh. [chuckles]

Thank you.

[chuckling]

Thank you.

Thanks.

To be fair Gari, you have a good voice.

- That was embarassing.
- I didn’t expect that.

Nice one, Gari!

To be fair also, the waiter was also good.

You’re so good!

I wasn’t ready for that.

Even the waiter aced it.

We didn’t know you have a good voice.

Why don’t you sing next time?

Sure. I sing better than him.

Ma’am, I'm sorry about what happened.

That was so embarrassing.

- Your father pushed me to the stage.
- [chuckles]

I’m sorry, he was a little drunk.

It was alright.

It was nice to know
that you were a good sport.

Most rich people are snobbish.

[chuckles]

Not all the time.

Sorry, ma’am.

- No English. My nose bleeds.
- [chuckles]

Oh, there’s no blood yet.

So how long have you been a caterer?

I study.

I do side gigs for Ryan.

He’s the son of the owner of the catering.

My big brother Enrico
is the one on the wheelchair.

Then there’s Ben and Ruel, my classmates

at the auto mechanic school.

Nice course.

You can be a mechanical engineer.

[chuckles]

How about you, ma’am?

Business management.

That’s so cool.

I have lots of female friends

who took up the same course.

You can get many job opportunities.

My friends are now

sales ladies at the mall.

Awesome jobs.

[giggles]

Gari.

Gari, are you with me?

Yes.

Sorry, where were we?

I’m saying.

No, I’m asking.

Are you a hundred percent
sure about this annulment?

This could take one and a half years.

Given that everything is smooth sailing.

If not,

it can reach up to three to five years.

The longer it takes,

the more it will cost you.

Gari,

this is physically exhausting
and emotionally draining.

Okay,

these are the papers I want you to sign
so we can proceed with the case.

You don’t have to sign this right now.

I want you to think about this carefully.

Think really hard.

I’m sorry, but...

My car broke down.

And I really need to go. I’m in a hurry.

- Look, my nose is bleeding. [giggles]

I'm sorry.

I need help.

My car broke down.

I remember you told me

I don’t know what happened to the car.

I just hope I can make it on time.

Yeah, okay.

Hopefully my car will get fixed.
I don’t know what happened.

The battery was just a little loose.

My car is already fixed.

This Sherwin guy is really good.

In fairness, it’s not that bad in here.

Thank you.

Good to know things are doing well.

So Sherwin,

how many girlfriends have you had?

Serious ones?

I hope so.

Just one.

No kidding?

- They would always leave him because broke.
- [chuckles]

How about the less serious ones?

I’ve changed.

[chuckles]

My brother aims so high.

But he still smells like grease.

It’s a bit embarrassing to Gari.

His brother just spilled the beans.

Gari, congratulations on your new job.

But please, let’s celebrate.

Just us girls.

This is fine.

Sorry about our place.

What’s the problem? I like it here.

And if not for you,

I wouldn’t have made it
on my interview on time.

There you go!

You actually saved me.

Its nothing.

This is my plan.

I’ll make sure to do
my performance well

so I can be assigned in Singapore.

[people cheers]

Singapore? Big time!

Yes!

You’re going abroad?

That’s the plan.

How about you?

What’s your plan?

I’ll work at the car repair shop.

I need a steady income.

My brother was a soldier.

He was shot in Mindanao.

That’s why he is in a wheelchair.

Wow.

You’re so kind and hardworking.

My friend here is
really kind and hardworking.

That’s right.

I’m hungry.

You go ahead. I have to finish this.

And I brought lunch.

I need to save up.

What’s all this change for?

For Gari.

It seems you’re taking her seriously.

But remember this.

What?

She’s way out of your league.

We’re just auto mechanic.

We’re poor.

While ma’am Gari

comes from a rich family.

I’m sure she’s looking
for a rich boyfriend.

She’s not like that.

I’m sure she’s going
to give me a chance.

I won’t waste it.

And I promised myself
to reach my goals

so I won’t be an
embarrassment to her family.

We won’t be auto mechanics for
the rest of our lives, right?

She really has you under her spell.

consummating the marriage.

Four, you married
out of force, intimidation,

undue influence.

Bro.

I did everything to make things better.

But I failed.

I can’t blame her…

It was all my fault.

I wasn’t a good husband to her.

[sniffles]

Bro,

don’t blame yourself.

You’re not perfect.

Your relationship is not perfect.

Both of you have weaknesses.

You’re just human.

You make mistakes

and get hurt too.

I don’t want to give up.

[sobbing]

Bro.

[sobbing]

Your wife filed for annulment.

For the court to grant
her petition, she’ll do everything

to prove that you’re
psychologically incapacitated.

Or that your mental capacity

is not enough to fulfill
your role as the husband.

That doesn’t mean you’re a nutcase.

She will just use that

as a reason to prove that
your relationship is not healthy.

They might spin
the truth to their advantage.

Do you understand what I’m saying?

Mr. Gallardo,

you will hear a lot of
things that might shock you.

You should be prepared.

Because I am sure

that they will do everything in
their power to prove their point.

Mrs. Gallardo,

what is the educational
attainment of your husband?

Did he complete his bachelor’s degree

from a reputable school?

With Latin honors like yourself?

No.

He took up a vocational course.

Two years,

but he didn’t finish.

Vocational.

Two years.

Unfinished.

So Mrs. Gallardo,
what jobs did your husband had?

He was an auto mechanic for eight years.

Last year he was removed from work.

He was jobless for a year.

In the period that your
husband was jobless,

if I may ask,

how did you manage your finances?

Does he come from a well-off family?

Did his family give you
financial assistance?

Does he have enough savings

to cover for utilities,
rent, food, schooling, etc?

I did everything on my own.

The house we’re living in

was a gift from my parents.

So there’s no rent
that was needed to be paid.

I’m also a pre-school teacher.

I have an online business.

I sell merchandise at bazaars.

You can call me an entrepreneur as well.

So let me recap this, Mrs. Gallardo.

At the time your husband was jobless,

it is safe to say that
you’re the breadwinner. Correct?

And even while your
husband was working,

you earned more than he did.

And you gave more share
to cover for household expenses.

Is that correct, Mrs. Gallardo?

Yes.

Mrs. Gallardo,

would you say your husband was...

deeply affected after losing his job?

Yes.

His self-esteem went down.

His self-esteem went down.

Would you say he took up his past vices?

Yes.

What are those?

Alcohol.

What else?

Did he cheat on you?

Was he a womanizer?

Did you catch him red-handed?

I came home

and caught him kissing someone else.

Inside my own house.

Mrs. Gallardo,

this might be a difficult question for you.

But according to your
medical report last year,

you had a miscarriage.

Gari…

Was it because of
your husband, Mrs. Gallardo?
