Happy Anniversary!
There.
What’s this?
It’s a Bromeliad.
Take good care of it, okay?
But Noah…
Don't we usually give flowers or roses for anniversaries?
Those are dead in a week.
The vendor told me that
the Bromeliad is hard to kill.
Really?
Yes. Bromeliads are hard to kill.
Oh, okay.
Like… my love...
for you.
That’s sweet, I guess.
But seriously, a Bromeliad?
Will you marry me?
Of course, I will!
Wait, wait.
There.
Ouch!
Oops!
Give me that!
When did you plan this?
This so beautiful.
I love you…
Noah?
Noah!
Are you okay, Mia?
You were moaning
and kept asking for Noah.
You’re hungover.
But it’s okay.
I googled it.
A hangover needs food that’s easily digested.
So I ordered breakfast.
Bread and scrambled eggs.
Electrolytes in food
help replenish the dehydrated system
and put calories back into your body.
Who are you?
It's me, Jay.
Jay!
Good job, Mia.
Why are my clothes wet?
I put them on the fan
so they would dry faster.
You might get the chills.
You should shower when you get home.
Health is wealth.
I have to go.
Huh?
Bru is waiting for me.
Bru?
You’re leaving?
But breakfast is coming.
Wait for it.
Bru is waiting for me.
Okay. Thanks. Bye!
But breakfast will be here soon!
Come on!
Mia!
I said, who’s Bru?
Mia!
Where are we, exactly?
Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan.
9.9672 Degrees North,
118.7855 Degrees East.
The temperature is 31 Degrees Celsius.
Okay.
Thank you.
You have a sty.
You Peeping Tom.
Your eye glands are clogged.
Go see a doctor.
Mia…
The Philippines generally experiences colder weather
from October to March due to
the persistence of the Northeastern Monsoon.
The early morning temperatures may dip
to as low as 18 degrees Celsius this week
due to more enhanced Northeastern winds.
What?
I said, wear a jacket.
It’s cold.
It’s so hot!
What a weirdo.
Here’s more.
Thank you.
There’s no more space.
You’ll have to hold it.
You shouldn’t have come.
You witch.
Bru, when we get to Bataraza,
make an effort, okay?
Try to make friends.
No wilting allowed.
Huh?
Nothing.
You talk too much.
Do you think you can survive here?
What have we gotten ourselves into?
Looks like you’re having a party, ma’am.
Just a small celebration.
I’m the only guest.
Cheers.
What?
What are you looking at?
I’m celebrating!
New Life.
Right?
Come here.
Don’t be so judgemental.
The truth is
this is all your fault.
Noah!
Where’s my cellphone?
I find your freshness offensive.
Well, you’re a plant.
You don’t have nightmares.
Shit!
You should diet some more. You added 114.
Nancy, where’s the doctor?
An hour late on her first day at work!
What kind of a doctor is that?
Excuse me, ma’am, we have a line.
There are people ahead of you.
Jason Policarpio?
Where are his records?
Sorry, I’m late.
You’re the doctor?
This is Sir Rolando,
the hospital Administrator.
Dr. Mia Salazar.
What happened to you?
This is nothing.
Fluid imbalance due to
excessive diuretic intake
causing both vomiting and nausea,
resulting in dehydration.
Dr. Salazar, a hangover is no excuse for tardiness.
You’re a doctor?
You’re Jason Policarpio?
You know Doc Jay?
We met in Puerto Prinsesa.
Wait, he’s a doctor?
Technically, yes.
I have a PhD in Forestry and Environmental Resources.
So you’re a Plant Doctor.
So you only met in Puerto Prinsesa.
Right.
But how did you meet?
How did we meet?
You don’t remember?
You wrestled for the bouquet.
I caught the garter.
Oh, so it was at the wedding of Doc Jay’s brother?
Who’s your brother again?
You don’t remember?
All I remember was that I was in…
… my room.
Well, that was fast.
I took your clothes off quickly…
Oh my gee!
Dr. Salazar, what you do on your own free time
is none of my business.
As long as it does not affect your work here.
This is not a vacation.
This is Public Service.
A lot of people are counting on you.
You come here!
I’m popping that sty!
You made a speech.
Remember that?
I made a speech?
Maybe you blacked out.
You can black out
if you drink on an empty stomach.
I know that.
I’m a doctor.
Ouch!
Doc… Doc…
The anesthesia isn’t working yet!
Ouch, Doc!
Ouch…
I want to forget
that something happened between us.
You really don’t remember any of it?
Fine.
We had sex. Okay.
It’s just a one-night stand.
Huh?
Doc!
No!
It was not “just a one-night stand”.
So what was it?
Love?
Doc, the patient is in labor!
Anesthesia, Doc!
I need anesthesia!
Ouch!
Ma’am, I’ll give you some.
But you’re hurting me.
Doc, will you go out with me?
No!
Please, Doc.
Saturday?
Doc, please say yes! My baby’s coming!
Where are we going?
Coffee!
I’m so giddy!
Oh, shit.
My god, I was there.
And there’s Jay!
I did make a speech...
Do I look like I was crying here?
Join me.
Why am I doing this?
Bad decisions should be forgotten.
Now I have to go out on a date
with a man who is supposed to be
just a one-night stand.
Funny, but I don’t remember anything.
What am I doing?
Jay!
You look different.
Why?
You look human.
Thank you.
Let me see that eye…
It’s fine.
Keep applying the ointment, okay?
Okay.
Did you know that driving a motorbike
is 27 times riskier than driving a car?
In fact, there were 5,970 deaths from motorcycle accidents last year.
And 90 percent of those weren’t wearing helmets.
So, for me, it’s safety first.
Okay…
I don’t want to be number 5,971…
You do know how to drive a motorbike, right?
Okay.
Good thing you accepted my Friend Request.
The others unfollow me.
Why?
Because your posts are too weird?
They’re weird?
It’s all rocks and rainstorms!
Are you obsessed with climate change?
Yes!
I’m very worried.
Oh, so you’re one of those.
You like scaring people.
But all the signs are there.
What signs?
This summer was really hot, right?
Yes, very!
It was so intense.
It’s like a huge fart from Satan himself.
And it’ll only get worse.
You mean like hell?
Maybe.
The hotter the planet gets,
the more extreme the weather.
In some areas, there will be intense flooding.
In others, intense drought.
As the temperature gets higher,
the glaciers melt
and oceans rise.
Countries may sink.
And people don’t care.
That’s how it is.
It’s such a nosebleed.
What?
Nosebleed!
Nosebleed?
Why nosebleed?
Their noses bleed because they just don’t get it.
I see.
Epistaxis triggered by brain trauma.
You’re so weird.
But isn’t it obvious?
That’s why they made the Paris Agreement.
All the countries want to prevent climate change
so they’ve agreed to keep warming below two degrees celsius.
We have only four years to fix this.
If we go beyond two degrees, that is the point of no return.
We’ll have extreme weather events.
Drought in areas where we had no drought before,
too much rain in areas where there was none.
Just like the case of Mangkhut or Haiyan.
A month’s worth of rainfall
all in one day.
And if carbon emissions don’t drop to zero by the year 2050,
Earth will become uninhabitable.
So it’s the end of the world?
We’re close.
So now is the time to move.
There’s still hope.
Carbon emissions in the Philippines are not that high.
But let’s not massacre trees.
The people of Baguio got it right
when they held a protest.
If we see that infrastructure will encroach
in thickly forested areas,
we have to protest.
The forests are almost all gone.
Scientific evidence for Global Warming is unequivocal.
We can only hope to slow the rate of change
for the next several thousand years.
Rainforestation also offers
a great deal of promise
for confronting climate change.
That’s rainforestation.
Not reforestation.
If you plant a seedling today,
it may take several decades
to get the same carbon sequestration benefits
we get from mature trees.
So we should get started now.
I smell coffee.
Is this a coffee farm?
Laterite soil is suitable for growing coffee.
These coffee trees right here
survived the intense climatic conditions
as well as terrestrial activities
occurring within the plantation.
You’re still at it!
And you’re the only one who understands what you’re saying.
I’m just excited that coffee plants are thriving
in this arid environment.
This is a big help
in our rehabilitation experiments.
What else can grow here
besides coffee?
Cacao! Rubber, bamboo.
How about fern plants?
Like pineapple plants?
- Yes! - They can?
Yes, ferns can grow here.
That’s part of our rainforestation program.
Rainforestation…
Not reforestation.
Rainforestation.
We really want to plant a lot of local trees.
And even exotics like mangium,
agoho pine, auricoliformis
to create a canopy...
Is it boring?
I just need to recharge.
Where’s that coffee?
Oh there.
- Hello! - Hello!
Hi!
- Good day! - Good day, everyone!
Good day!
Hello!
Good day, Doc Jay!
Ma’am, may I have some of that coffee?
Of course, here you go.
Thank you!
The beans are ripe.
We’re harvesting them now.
And you will dry them?
Yes, on the drier from the seminar.
That’s an all-weather machine.
That’s very good.
At the seminar, they said it takes
four weeks to dry?
It all depends on the weather.
But that’s the best,
an 11 to 12 per cent moisture content.
Mia!
Mia, what are you doing there?
Nothing.
I want to show you something.
What is it?
Something exciting.
It’s over there.
Exciting again?
A rock?
Not just any rock.
Meteor Feces.
Feces?
-Yuck, that’s gross! -Hey!
Jay! There you go again!
No!
It’s not that kind of feces.
Meteor Feces is Tektite.
An asteroid hit the Earth.
Rocks flew all over…
and hit the ground…
Voila!
Tektite!
A shooting star?
An amulet that makes you a superhero?
You can say that.
Some people actually believe that
if they swallow tektite,
it can heal them.
So it is like a superhero amulet.
This must be expensive.
Are you selling it?
Old people say tektites attract gold.
Wherever gold drifts, there’s probably tektite
in those diluvial deposits...
You can find tektite almost
anywhere in the Philippines.
This size is worth about 100 pesos.
And it’s probably around 700,000 years old,
one of the tektite pieces in the Australian Strewn Field.
So, there is tektite all over Australia,
the Philippines, Malay…
Wait.
You’re not drinking.
That’s been there all this time
and you haven’t touched it.
I don’t really drink.
Come on, just one.
Do it for me.
I’m doing this for you.
All right.
Just one, okay?
And then after this,
I want to ask you a question.
Fine, whatever.
Just have a drink.
I’ll join you.
Okay.
Cheers!
See? That was easy!
Mia…
Are you sure this is…
Why is it so hot?
What?
I can’t breathe.
Are you okay?
Why is it so itchy?
Wait…
Mia… I think I’m having an anaphylactic reaction
to the alcohol!
What?
Jay, are you okay?
You’re so stupid!
You have a low tolerance for alcohol!
Why did you say yes to that drink?
Come on!
Get up!
Come on, quickly!
Faster!
Okay, let’s go!
Jay?
Over here, Jay.
What happened?
Careful...
Wheelchair.
Doc! What happened?
It’s an allergic reaction to gin.
He needs an Epipen.
I didn’t know he had alcohol intolerance.
You made him drink?
Fine, fine
It’s my fault.
Don’t worry.
This is the last time.
We will never see each other again.
I might kill him, too.
Bru, it’s Jay.
I almost killed him!
Can you tell me this?
What is the problem?
Huh?
Am I cursed?
Will every man I date
die on me?
All of them?
You know what?
It’s a good thing
you’re hard to kill.
From now on,
it’s just the two of us, okay?
You and me.
Just the two of us.
Cheers!
To forever.
What’s this?
Sorry, sorry!
See what I do for you?
I was invited to go out today at the hospital.
But I passed because I had to feed you.
How did I get this?
Hey, Bru, this is Jay.
He says, “the country is currently experiencing
lesser amount of clouds as compared to the past weeks.”
So bring an umbrella,
because there is a “likelihood of rainshowers” tomorrow.
What a weirdo.
How about you?
Do you want to play in the rain?
How did you get this, Mia?
Mia?
I know you’re in there.
The lights are on.
Mia?
I just want to know if you’re okay.
If I know you’re fine, I’ll go.
Sorry, sorry, sorry!
I almost forgot!
Whew!
Here you go!
That’s mineral water, okay?
Do you know what day it is today?
It’s Noah’s death anniversary.
Why are you yellow?
Oh, no!
Your leaves are falling off!
Are you okay?
What should I do, Bru?
Bru! Don’t you die on me!
Should I call a doctor?
Smell that.
Why does it smell bad?
That’s heart rot.
The crown is rotting.
The plant is infected with fungus…
from the wet soil.
You overwatered it.
You are a heavier drinker than this Bromeliad…
So that’s why you call it Bru!
Okay, okay, okay, now I get it.
You got it only now?
You’re no match for Bru.
So what now?
How do we treat heart rot?
Less is more.
Less water for Bru…
And for you…
less alcohol.
Look, Jay…
I did mean to send you to the Emergency room.
Don’t think I did it on purpose.
I know.
Why would I think that?
Because you deserve to die.
You’re so boring,
I can’t bear it.
Seriously?
Hey, I was kidding!
It was just a joke!
There’s a grain of truth in every joke.
Okay…
Let’s just say you’re not that boring.
Maybe just a little.
So for you,
less is more, too.
Best. Effort.
So, that’s it?
Less water?
No medicines?
Do you have a malus on you?
An apple?
Smile!
Bru, good thing your beauty has finally returned!
I thought you were a goner!
What a pretty flower!
Blooming!
Okay…
You stay here.
Now, how do we thank Jay for this?
He has such weird taste.
I think I know what to do!
Okay.
“Bru sends a big thank you, Doc!”
“And maybe you’d like to go out with her?”
Okay.
I know!
I’ll send him our picture.
We both look fresh in this one.
And… done!
Overwatering is a common mistake
among amateur horticulturists.
A sopping wet potting mix
can stifle the oxygen level in the soil,
which smothers Trichoderm...
Wait.
Didn’t we agree?
Less is more?
It’s my turn, okay?
I have something to say.
We’ve had two strikes.
It was all wrong, how we met.
And when we went out on that “date”…
You ended up in the hospital.
Can we start over?
I have something for you.
I got that for you.
I had to look for it, okay?
This is for me?
Yeah, I spent time looking for that!
Really?
I hope you like it.
Of course, I will!
I don’t get gifts even on my birthday!
They say I’m tough to shop for.
Oh, shit!
Where did you get this?!
Why?
You don’t like it?
It’s Arsenic!
What?
The poison?
Don’t touch it!
A large dose of Arsenic can cause immediate…
…sickness and death!
Long-term exposure is associated
with higher rates of skin,
bladder and lung cancers,
as well as heart disease!
Don’t breathe! Don’t breathe!
Don’t you dare breathe!
Sorry. We only have a simple house.
Mia!
So how was the date?
Successful?
So it was a “date”?
Big Sister Mia!
It’s my little sister!
That’s Gayle!
Oh, Gayle!
Of course!
Hello, hi there!
You were so ugly at the wedding.
Gayle!
Why?
Hey, you! Watch your mouth!
I’m just saying that she’s way prettier today!
She was a wreck at the wedding.
Mia!
We have beer…
Dad!
Hey!
Give me that.
It’s your shoelaces!
- What a bother… - It’s your shoelaces!
I know!
My knee’s bothering me!
Barbecue is perfect with beer!
Less is more.
Where’s Ryan?
I’ll let them know Mia’s here.
They’re inside doing sexy time!
Gayle…
Ouch!
- What’s wrong with you? - Mom, that’s child abuse!
Will you talk to your daughter?
She gets that from her cellphone!
There you go again,
blaming the cellphone.
That cellphone is a pest, right?
I have something to show Mia.
We’re eating soon!
I love you!
Love you!
Hey.
Margie!
Mia’s here.
Ryan, look!
It’s your friend, Mia!
You do know each other, right?
- Yeah! - Yeah, of course!
Hi, Mia!
Yeah, we do …
At the wedding, right?
Are you okay now?
Do you still have nightmares about Noah?
How did you know that?
How did she know about that?
You told us about it at the wedding.
Oh, no!
I want to cry again!
If that happened to me…
Babe, think about it…
If you had just proposed to me
and then suddenly, the Lord takes you from me?
I couldn’t bear it!
But I’m here, babe.
Hello!
We’re here, too.
Acts of physical intimacy in the view of others
is anxiety-producing.
Nauseating, isn’t it?
Let’s just go.
It's a good thing you proposed at the corner.
No need to go on a rooftop like your friend did!
My friend?
Isn’t she your friend?
I thought she was yours?
Not me!
So who was that?
Whose friend is she?
Why does it seem like
your family knows me really well?
You were a star at the wedding.
Wow!
This is your collection?
What I gave you does not even compare!
It’s beautiful!
Thank you.
This is a lot.
Is there any space left for my gift?
Here.
This one is special.
It’s where you keep your killer rocks?
Something like that.
How did you become this passionate about rocks?
Each of those rocks has a story.
Each one had a journey.
How about this one?
This limestone from Quezon, Palawan?
What’s the story?
What was the journey?
That limestone is part of the remains
of organisms that lived in
the coral reef before.
This rock?
Yeah.
It’s five to ten million years old.
Really?
How cute!
It’s so pretty!
What is it?
Rhodochrosite.
Rhodochrosite. Okay.
It’s for you.
They say it’s for the broken-hearted.
For the broken-hearted?
Wait. What exactly did I say at the wedding?
Big Brother! Time to eat!
Come on, Big Sister.
Okay.
Wait.
You like barbecue?
Yes, I do?
Here, try my recipe.
Thank you!
It’s delicious!
What do you do?
Mia’s a doctor.
Babe, he says Mia’s a doctor.
Oh, I know!
You’re with the Lying-in Clinic?
No.
I’m with Doctors to the Barrios.
Have you heard of that?
Doctors to the Barrios?
Mia’s a doctor?
Yes?
If she’s a doctor,
how come she couldn’t save her boyfriend?
I don’t know!
Water! Water!
There’s your water,
drink some!
Mia, water!
Drink slowly.
What exactly did I do at the wedding?
You suddenly appeared
and you attacked the bouquet.
You were laughing and crying
while Jay was putting the garter on you.
You were ticklish.
Then you grabbed the mic
and you made a speech.
You said your wish for big sister
was for big brother’s hotdog to be always standing.
- What’s wrong with you? - What?
Then you laughed until you cried.
You told us about Noah…
How he proposed to you.
You said he was dead on arrival.
We all cried.
Then you drank all the champagne for toasting.
Then you went into the water to swim
with your clothes on.
Jay ran after you
because something bad might happen to you.
Shit.
Shit, sorry.
Not only did I crash your wedding,
I made a mess of it.
Forgive me.
I’m really sorry.
But if you weren’t there,
the guests would have left early!
You were the life of the party!
Oh, and whose friend are you?
Huh?
Ryan wants to know.
Sorry.
I think I should go.
Mia!
Mia, why?
I can’t face your family anymore!
Why’d you even bring me here?
Mia!
My family doesn’t care about what happened, okay?
Oh, man!
That was so embarrassing!
I wish the earth would swallow me up.
You know, this is your fault.
You knew, but you didn’t tell me!
Good thing Gayle did.
I did tell you!
Not all of it!
This really shouldn’t be my problem.
You’re a stranger.
But there’s this Chinese proverb that says,
“When you save someone’s life,
you become responsible for
that person forever.”
What does a Chinese proverb
have to do with it?
And who did you save?
You.
Huh?
You saved me from what?
From drowning!
From yourself!
You were trying to kill yourself…
Mia!
I think I swallowed some of it.
Mia slept in Jay’s room!
Ouch!
You’re on your cellphone too much!
Good morning!
We’re off to church, are you coming?
Where is Jay?
Mia!
You’re awake!
What happened last night?
So you’re up!
Something happened?
Jason Policarpio!
Come on, everyone.
Off to church, the mass is starting soon.
Jason Policarpio, follow us!
Yes, ma’am.
You don’t remember, do you?
Remember what?
I remember you telling me
that I want to kill myself.
That and something about a Chinese proverb.
Then what?
That’s it. That’s all.
That was the last thing you remember?
Mia…
The bar couldn’t close because of you.
You didn’t want to leave.
And you threw up on me.
I brought you here to change
before I took you home.
You don’t remember that?
Blackouts are normal.
- I was drunk after all. - No.
Alcohol-induced amnesia is not normal!
You drink too much and too fast!
That disrupts the formation of short-term memory in your hippocampus…
Really, we’re up to the hippocampus now?
You keep saying “less is more”
but you have too much to say about it.
Besides, I know a lot of people who blackout.
Like who?
Like....
You don’t know them, of course.
See?
Aren’t you scared at all?
You’re the only suicidal person without suicidal ideation.
You don’t even know you’re suicidal!
You have a problem.
You have to stop drinking!
You know, I should just go
because I don’t know what you want me to do.
Mia!
Don’t be mad…
What?
I just want to help.
Help?
There’s no hope for me.
Don’t waste your time.
You should have just let me drown
to get this over with.
Mia!
Who does Jay think he is?
Are we that close?
What is he, my boyfriend?
Is he Noah?
If Noah were alive,
he would beat Jay up!
But Noah’s dead.
Dad!
I have some snacks here from Mom!
It so hot!
Big Brother!
Here, have some!
Dad, snacks!
Okay!
Here, ice drink!
Oh, thank you!
It’s so warm here!
There you go.
Dad!
The truck!
Dad!
Jay!
Dad!
Are you okay?
I'm alright!
You rushed at me!
Come on!
Ouch! Dad!
Ouch!
It hurts, Dad!
Hey!
Help us!
Help my son!
Quickly!
- Hold on! - Thank you!
Okay, reactive pupils…
You’re very lucky.
You have scratches
but no broken bones.
That was a steep drop.
Jay bore the brunt of it, not me.
I saw he broke a bone.
Excuse me.
Doc, here’s the form.
This is all my fault.
It should have been me.
Sir, you need to sign this.
It’s the consent form
for Jay’s medical treatment.
Where is he?
He’s in Radiology.
They’re checking the fracture.
Then he goes to the O.R. to treat the open fracture
to avoid infection.
After that, he gets a head C.T.
Head C.T.?
A Cat Scan.
It’s Standard Procedure for anyone with a head injury
or who’ve become unconscious.
To rule out any bleeding.
His mother’s going to kill me.
Wait.
You’re getting a Head C.T. Scan too, okay?
Excuse me.
Doc, we’re ready for the C.T. Scan.
How is Jay?
The technician is having a hard time.
The patient is agitated.
Oh, no.
Sir, I have to go.
I want to supervise Jay’s C.T. Scan.
I leave you with Jonel.
Don’t forget to sign the consent form
for your C.T. Scan, okay?
Okay, take care.
Thank you.
Just take care of Jay.
Hello, sir.
Sign here, please.
I told Mia no need.
No, thank you.
How is the patient?
Doc, he’s agitated.
Maybe you should talk to him.
Jay?
Wake up, please.
Your father’s very scared.
I’m not angry anymore.
If you don’t wake up soon,
I’m going to start believing
that I am cursed.
First, it was Noah…
then Bru, almost.
Now you.
Everyone I care for is leaving me.
Please.
Wake up.
Break the curse.
Maybe you should give him a kiss.
True love’s kiss is the best thing for a curse.
Just like in Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty,
Snow White, Beauty and the Beast...
Okay.
Are we good?
Yes, we are.
Sorry, Doc.
Okay.
Good.
This one’s a priority, okay?
It works for turning frogs into princes.
The operation was successful.
No joints were fractured.
The cast can be removed in six to eight weeks.
He had a C.T. Scan.
No hemorrhage, no skull fracture.
What happened?
We fell.
A truck was backing up and almost hit me.
Huh?
The driver didn’t see you?
No idea.
You didn’t see the truck?
No.
Why not?
We were distracted by your snacks.
The ice drinks?
So it’s my fault?
Yes!
You know it’s not allowed, and you still sent them over.
Then I won’t do it again.
Dad’s shoelaces.
He was crouched to tie them up.
He was on the driver’s blind spot.
So it was your shoelaces!
I knew it!
So it’s your fault!
Lani, it’s all good. Jay’s awake.
Jay?
Try to touch my finger.
I felt a shock.
What?
I was electrocuted
by your beauty.
Absolutely beautiful.
Wow!
Big Brother is so cheesy.
- Why aren’t you that sweet to me? - Here I go.
Quit that.
Can’t you see you brother is high?
See that?
I woke up.
Even without a kiss.
Because you told me to.
Please come with me.
Where?
I want to show you something.
And I promise. There is no curse.
Wait, what kiss?
Yeah, and what curse?
You had a fight?
Doc, maybe you should go with him.
Come on, Doc.
You’re a forester who works for a mining company?
Is that possible?
Shouldn't you be anti-mining?
It was you who said
we should stop killing trees
because we’re running out of forests.
And if we see in infrastructure
encroaching on thickly-forested areas,
we should protest!
So you were listening.
I almost believed your passion for climate change
but you’re even worse.
No matter how you look at it,
large-scale mining is destructive.
That’s true.
That’s why I see the Mining Industry as a challenge.
I want to inculcate a new paradigm.
Value beyond Compliance.
We need more innovative strategies
to ensure the Mining Industry’s sustainability economically,
as well as socially.
You’re talking in Jayspeak.
Jayspeak?
Yeah.
Jayspeak.
The kind only you understand.
We’re here.
My god.
It’s ugly.
Now I really see that
open-pit mining is madness.
I thought you weren’t an environmentalist?
When I see something like this,
I want to be an environmentalist.
It’s like there’s no hope for the world!
How do we fix this?
No way. It’s hopeless.
Actually, that’s true.
Mining is heavily extractive.
You disturb the soil, the water source…
It really affects plants and animals.
But…
hold your judgement.
I have more to show you.
It’s lovely here.
Can you guess where we are?
Where?
This was once a mined-out area.
Huh?
Really?
We created a forest
where none existed.
This is my baby.
Do you hear that?
What is it?
Passer Montanus.
A Maya bird?
That’s how I gauge how successful our efforts are.
If there are Maya birds?
Yes, I base it on the birds chirping.
When there are birds, the ecosystem is alive.
Wherever there are plants and flowers…
there are dragonflies, bees, and butterflies.
All mined-out areas are going to be like this?
That’s what I want.
Good afternoon!
Good afternoon, Doc Jay!
This is Mia!
Hi!
Hello!
Good afternoon!
They’re the Indigenous People who work here.
Okay.
You still haven’t answered my question.
Why do you work here?
What you’re really asking is why am I working for Capitalists.
Yes.
I take the mining path as a challenge.
If I keep fighting them,
nothing comes out of it.
I’d rather educate them
on how to be responsible.
I don’t get it.
Either you’ve been brainwashed
or you really believe what you’re saying.
You said it was hopeless.
That we’re doomed.
Well?
Does this look hopeless to you?
That’s what I want you to know.
Mia, determination can save
even the most devastated.
That, and love.
Love?
How did we get to “love”?
Are we still talking about this place?
Mia, stop drinking.
You can’t keep blaming yourself
from what happened to Noah.
It happened.
You can’t bring back the past.
Is that why you brought me here?
To give me a sermon?
Your anger can do nothing.
It’s better if you find a way
to make things good again.
That’s the way.
Why don’t you get it?
I don’t need your help.
And stop taking that Chinese proverb seriously!
You can’t save me.
Well, you think you can save this forest.
You’re such a dreamer.
There!
You can have your rock back!
I’m releasing you!
Fine. If that’s what you want…
It was going great.
That rainforest was beautiful.
You should have come with us to see it.
You’d love it there.
But then Jay ruined everything.
He said instead of being angry,
I should fix myself.
Of course, I got mad!
Am I wrong?
Hey, what’s that?
What is this?
You’re a mommy now?
Okay.
Less is more.
Fine.
Jay was right.
Is Doc Mia removing your cast?
She’s not from ortho, so maybe no…
Hey!
Dad, we were already in the other lane!
No, he was in the wrong lane!
Too many bad drivers around here!
Good morning.
Mia!
Jay’s here getting his cast removed.
Does your head hurt?
It’s nothing.
Maybe I should have my eyes checked.
But how are you?
Jay!
That was quick! Are you done!
What did they say?
I come back in two weeks.
Jay,
it’s about Bru…
Dad, let’s go.
I’ll drive.
Sir?
Sir! Sir…
Huh?
Since when have you been getting headaches?
It’s nothing.
It’s just in here.
Was it since the accident?
That was a long time ago. It’s nothing…
Dad.
- Dad, the keys. - Huh?
Okay, Mia.
I have to go.
Jay?
Jay!
Bru needs your help.
What did you do this time?
I told you not to overwater her.
No, I think she has babies.
There they are.
She has three pups.
I’m separating them.
Wait!
Is that safe for Bru?
What if she dies?
Remember, the Bromeliad is difficult to kill.
If I remove her pups,
she’ll grow more soon.
Okay.
So they’re called pups?
Yes.
“Pups” also refers to offsets
that form at the base of certain plants,
like Bromeliads.
Be careful!
Can they stay here with you?
Why?
If they stay with me,
I might harm them.
You can take better care of them here.
Are you sure?
Yes.
You know...
There’s this Chinese proverb…
It says “If you save someone’s life,
you’re responsible for them forever.”
Peace?
And can I have my rock back?
Ryan, stop picking at the food!
Move!
- Let’s eat! - Mia!
- Hi, Ate Mia! - Have a beer!
- Let's eat. - Hi, good evening!
Dad!
Hey!
Dad! Dad!
Jay!
It’s a seizure.
We have to take him to the hospital.
Ryan, get the car!
Mia!
Dad!
Jay, please.
Sit. You’re making me dizzy.
If you’re going to do that,
then just get up.
How is he?
Subdural hematoma.
There’s a blood clot in his brain from the fall.
They have to do surgery in Manila.
The headaches are because of that blood clot.
Why wasn’t it diagnosed early?
You discharged him, didn’t you?
He didn’t want a C.T. Scan then…
Then why didn’t you force him?
You’re the doctor, right?
You’re a doctor!
This is your fault.
Now I’m not surprised that Noah’s dead.
You are cursed!
Jay, stop it!
I’m going to Manila.
Where’s my father?
Mom, come when you can.
Ryan, take care of everything, okay?
Now where’s my father?
Over here, the ambulance is leaving.
Mia, my big brother is just angry.
Mia…
What are my father’s chances?
It’s good that he was brought here right away…
The diagnosis in Palawan was correct.
Dad?
Who died?
It was almost you.
You had a blood clot from the fall with Jay.
Mia shouldn’t have discharged you
so soon after the accident.
They didn’t see the blood clot.
Why didn’t she give you a C.T. Scan?
I said I didn’t want it.
Son, it’s not Mia’s fault.
Excuse me. I’m here to check his vitals.
And you were so mean to her.
You should be ashamed.
Apologize!
Call her!
The subscriber cannot be reached.
Cannot be reached.
Then try the hospital.
Nancy, this is Jay.
Is Mia there?
Some folks from the Nursery were here the other day.
They were looking for you.
Why?
Mia took her plants back.
Jay, they said she was very drunk.
Okay, thank you.
I’m going to Mia.
Good.
Where will you go?
To the Pier.
Okay?
Mia!
Oh, no, Mia.
Nancy?
I’m at the Pier.
I found Mia’s necklace.
Nancy, I think there’s been an accident.
Call the police.
Margie? Gayle?
Mia’s missing.
I’ll help the Coast Guard find her.
Where’s my…
diving suit?
Mia?
Jay?
My necklace.
Where’s my necklace?
It’s here!
Here, I have it.
You asshole!
What?
Why?
- I am not cursed! - Ouch!
You’re the one I’m cursing!
Mia, I’m sorry!
It’s not your fault!
It’s my fault!
- Of course, it is! - It’s my fault!
I admit, it’s my fault!
It sure is!
Ow, that hurts!
Mia! Sorry!
Dad’s fine! He’s well!
His Neurosurgeon says he got to the hospital just in time.
If it wasn’t for you, my dad would be gone.
- Thank you! - Of course! Exactly!
- And this is what I get from you? - Ouch!
- How dare you treat me like this! - Margie!
Stop it!
No!
- They’re hurling rocks at each other! - How dare you treat me like this!
I said I was sorry!
You’re going to hurt each other!
How long have you been here?
I called the police to look for you!
Mia! Ouch!
She came here looking for the pink rock.
The one that heals wounded hearts?
Oh, is this a lovers’ quarrel!
Stop it!
Kiss and make up already!
You’re both annoying.
Get out of here! You’re not helping any.
Go!
Now what?
Ouch!
What is it this time?
You can have your all your rocks!
I don’t care anymore!
You did this on purpose.
Well, you deserve it.
Now we’re even.
So what happened?
I felt so bad.
I was so angry at you.
So I got myself drunk.
I was wasted.
I don’t remember a thing.
You planted Bru and her pups by the pier.
Then I found Noah’s ring on the dock.
You don't remember?
All I remember is that
I slept well.
And I woke up with this lightness.
Maybe it’s time to let go.
That’s up to you.
You were looking for this.
Thank you.
Thank you is all I get?
But you’re still a virgin.
No tears, okay?
You’ve got a great view here.
This is home from now on, okay?
Noah…
I’m letting you go.
Miss, does this really work?
Yes, ma’am.
Ernesto de Guzman.
Sir, do you know Noah?
Can you tell him to come see me sometime?
Please?
Cheers!
Here’s your change.
Where’s your payment?
Can you put it on my tab?
Again?
Please. My poor kids are hungry.
How much is that?
15.25.
Okay, here.
What else do you need?
Really? Rice, ma’am?
Rice! Give her rice!
- Thank you so much, Ma’am! - There you go.
- Ma’am, may God bless you… - Okay, okay, okay.
Look at this, children!
Hold this!
There!
We have dinner now!
Here’s more!
All right ladies, are you all ready?
You guys are looking so gorgeous!
Auntie, maybe you want to join?
No?
Auntie, come on, let’s join!
How about the pretty girl at the back there?
Yeah, you guys good?
Marge, I’m going to count, okay?
Three, two, one!
All right, we have a winner!
All right!
All right, the one who caught the bouquet
will now wear the garter!
Here we go!
Okay!
Jay, maybe you want to meet…
What’s your name?
Mia.
Mia!
Salazar!
Mia Salazar!
Mia!
Congratulations, Mia!
Mia!
Salazar!
Jay.
I’m putting it on now…
Ouch!
Sorry!
It’s okay, I’m okay…
I’m ticklish…
Sorry, sorry.
One more…
Wooohooo!
Hi!
Kiss!
My wish for you
is for the groom’s hotdog to remain standing
so the bride will be happy forever!
But that hotdog isn’t the only important thing, okay?
Remember that, make sure you remember!
Not just sex.
Don’t be all sex.
You should love each other!
Okay?
Okay.
My wish for the newlyweds
is a happy happily ever after.
You know,
when Noah proposed to me…
Who's that?
- I don't know. - I was so happy!
Who is she?
“Will you marry me, Mia?”
All I wanted was to be with him
for the rest of my life.
But he fell off the rooftop
when he was putting Bru away.
I don’t know if he heard me say
how much I love him.
Maybe he was already dead,
I don’t know.
That’s why you should all say “I love you” everyday.
Okay?
Every single day.
Okay?
Cheers!
I love you, Noah!
I’m on my way to you, wait for me.
You know there’s this Chinese proverb…
that says “If you save someone’s life,
you’re responsible for them forever.”
You're in for it now.
