(MALUNGKOT SI DOC)
MANUEL: MUKHANG HINDI HAPPY AH (But looks like you are not happy)
(TABLE CONFRONTATION)
TATAY: TOTOO NGA, HINDI AKO NAGBIBIRO. “I’M DYING”.. LUNG CANCER,
SIGURODAW MGA DALAWANG BUWAN MAGREREUNION NA KAMI NG NANAY
NINYO ( It's true. I'm not joking. "I'M DYING." Lung cancer. Maybe in two months,
we will be reunited with your mother again.)
CHA: (WHILE APPROACHING TATAY) TAY HINDI PWEDE, AYUKO! ( Dad, no! That
will not gonna happen! I will not let it happen!)
JUN: SUSS! SANAY NA SI NINONG DIYAN. TAON TAON NAMAN EHH ( Oh, come
on! Uncle is used to it. It is happening every year)
TAY: WAGNA, PARA ANO PA? AKSAYA LNG NG PANAHON YAN, NG PERA (No
need. What for? It's just a waste of time and money.)
BRY: MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE HERE, IT WILL NEVER BE. WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY
LET’S JUST GET A SECOND OPINION FOR ALL WE KNOW BAKA NAMAN
MISDIAGNOSE KA LANG ( Money is not an issue here, it will never be. What I'm
trying to say is, let's just get a second opinion. For all we know, maybe you are
just misdiagnosed.)
TAY: CHA, SERYUSO AKO. GUSTO KO GWAPO PARIN AKO HANGGANG DOON SA
KABILA. DIBA ANAK (LOOKS AT ALLAN) ( Cha, I am serious. I want to be
handsome even up until the next life. Right, son?) (looks at Allan)
BRY: TAY, AYAW NIYO BANG GUMALING? DON’T YOU WANT TO LIVE? ( Dad, don't
you want to be treated? Don't you want to live?)
TAY: I HAVE LIVED 69 YEARS. OKEY NA YUN ( I have lived 69 years. That's enough
already.)
BRY: BUT WHY ARE YOU GIVING UP? (But why are you giving up?)
ALLAN: BAKIT HINDI NALANG NATIN HAYAAN ANG TATAY DIBA? (Why don't we
just respect his decision, right?)
ALLAN: HINDI YAN ANG SINASA*** (That’s not what i’m saying—)
BRY: BUT, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN IF WE DON’T GET HIM THE
PROPER TREATMENT (But that's exactly what's gonna happen if we don't get him
the proper treatment!)
ALLAN: ANG SINASABI KO NASA TAMANG WISHO NAMN ANG TATAY, BAKIT DI
NATIN SIYA PAGBIGYAN KUNG ANO YUNG GUSTO NIYA (What I'm saying is, Dad
is in the right state, so why don't we just grant him what he wants?)
BRY: OHH TALAGA!, THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING ALL MY LIFE KUYA, JUST
INCASE YOU HAVEN’Y NOTICED (Oh, really?! That’s what I've been doing all my
life, Kuya, just in case you haven't noticed!)
(NAGKATITIGAN)
BRY: YEAH!
BRYAN: WHAT’S UP? YOU’D KNOW WHAT’S UP KUNG MAS MAAGA KA SANANG
DUMATING. NAKUHA MO NAMAN YUNG TEXT DIBA? (What's up? You'd know
what's up if you had arrived earlier! You got the text, right?)
( EXPOSURE WAS ON TATAY)
BRY: SAYO AKO NAKATINGIN DIBA? (I'm looking at you, aren't I?)
BRY: HUH?
TAY: I LIKE WHAT I SEE. YUN LANG NAMAN ANG GUSTO KO EH, YUNG NAKIKITA
KO KAYONG COMPLETO KASI NOONG NAMATAY YUNG NANAY NINYO BIGLA
EH, DIBA? HINDI TAYO NAKAPAGHANDANG HINDI TAYO NAKAPAGPAALAM NG
MAAYOS, PERO NGAYON GUSTO KO SANA MAGKAKASAMA TAYO BAGO KO
MAKIPAGKITA KAY SAN PEDRO. TOTAL PITONG LINGO NALANG EH (I like what I
see. Seeing you united was all I wanted. Because your mother's death was
unexpected, correct? We didn't have time to get ready or properly say
goodbye. But now, before I see Saint Peter, I want us all to be together. In any
case, we have just seven weeks.)
MANUEL: SUS MARYOSEP! GINULAT NYOKO A (Oh my goodness! You all startled
me!)
ALLAN: YUNG CAKE? YUNG CAKE. HALIKANA! (The cake? The cake. Come on!)
(KINUHA NI ALLAN AT BRY YUNG CAKE) (Allan and Bry get the cake.)
(SI CHA AT ANG MGA BATA AY KAKANTA NG HAPPY BIRTHDAY) (Cha and the
kids will sing happy birthday)
Narration: About what Tay should eat: Vegetable or Crispy Pata until Allan’s son
asked if he could play basketball. Naghandog si Allan ng Crispy Pata para kay
Tay Manuel, ngunit pinigilan ito ni Bry dahil hindi raw ito healthy. Mas gusto ni Bry
na salad ang kainin ni Tay, pero si Tay ay mas gustong tikman ang Crispy Pata.
Nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang mga magkakapatid. Sinubukan ni Dex na
magmungkahi ng hatiang gulay at Crispy Pata, pero sinabi ni Cha na huwag na
siyang makialam. Sa huli, nagpasya si Tay na kakain siya ng pareho para
matapos na ang alitan.
After eating, the family grew bored. They thought of playing basketball and
remembered that the old basketball ring was still there. Mark chose Tito Bry as his
teammate. The game started happily, but eventually, they became annoyed
with one another and the game turned into a heated argument.)
DEX: EH KASI KUNG PINASA MO, DI TAPOS NA ANG LARO DIBA? (Because if you
have passed it, then it's game over, right ?)
BRY: EH KUNG MAMISS MO IDI GANUN DIN DIOBA? (But if you missed it, then it's
just the same)
ALLAN (GRABS THE BALL TO BRY) BOSS YAN EHH. ( He's the Boss)
ALLAN: AKO LNG? SI CHA DIN NAMAN AH? (Just me? Cha did it too, right? )
BRY: E YUNG CAKE HINDI PA NAMAN DAPAT E BLOBLOW YUN DIBA? PINAGBLOW
MO! PABIDA KA KASI (And what about the cake? It wasn't supposed to be
blown out yet, right? But you made them blow it out! That's because you always
want to show off .)
ALLAN: AKO PA ANG PABIDA, BAKA IKAW ANG PABIDA DIYAN, PA CATER(X2)
KAPA. ANO YUN PINAMUMUKA MO YUNG PERA MO SA AMIN (I'm the one
showing off? Maybe you're the show-off there, cater(x2) What is that, are you
trying to rub your money in our faces? )
CHA: TIGILAN NIYO NA YAN BAKA KUNG SAAN PA MAPUNTA YAN. (Stop that
now, it might lead somewhere bad. )
ALLAN: ALIN? HINDI WALA HALIKA RITO, HINDI WALA YAN MATAGAL NA TAYONG
HINDI NAGKIKITA-KITA, HINDI BAGONG ISSUE TOO. MALAMANG LUMA NA ITO.
ANO, TUNGKOL SA TINDAHAN? O MATAGAL MO NANG HINIHIMUTOK YAN.
(What? No, it's not nothing, come here. No, that's not it, we haven't seen each
other in a long time. This is not a new issue! Most likely, it's an old one. What is it, is
it about the store? Or have you been complaining about that for a long time?)
ALLAN: YUN NA NGA! KUSA KANG UMALIS, HINDI KITA PINA-ALIS! (That's exactly
what happened! You voluntarily left, I didn't make you leave!)
ALLAN: EDI TAMA NGA AKO, DI MAY ISSUE KA (So I was right! You do have an
issue?)
CHA: TAMA NA NGA SABI EH, PARA KAYONG MGA BATA AYAW NIYONG
MAKINIG (I said stop it already! You're acting like small kids won't listen.)
CHA: O BAKIT SA AKIN NAPUNTA BIGLA (Oh, why did you pass the topic on me?
)
TAY: WOOOH, O (SHOWS THE KNIVES (2)), MAGPATAYAN NALANG KAYO, KUNG
PUPUNTA LNG KAYO DITO PARA MAG AWAY AWAY, WAG NA! PARA KAYONG
HINDI MAGKAKAPATID AH (WALK OUT) (Woooh, here , why don't you just kill
each other! If all of you just came here to fight, then never mind! All of you don't
even act like siblings! (walks out)
DINING TABLE
(NAGISING SI TAY, THE KID ARE PLAYING) (Tay woke up, the kids are playing)
TAY: KAYO ITONG MAAGA EH (All of you are the ones who got up early)
BRY: SAAN KA MAKAKITA NG LIMANG ORAS PINAKUKULUAN (Where can you find
something boiled for five hours?)
BRY: PERO PARANG MASARAP KUYA AH, ANG BANGO AH (But it seems delicious,
Brother, it smells good)
ANO? (What?)
DEX: HINDI YUNG ANO SABAW TAY SIPSIPIN NIYO MASARAP (No, I am talking
about the soup, Dad, drink it, it’s delicious)
CHA: DEX YUNG MGA BATA TAWAGIN NA, SIGE NA (Dex, call the kids now,

ALLAN: TAY, GUSTO LNG SANA NAMIN BUMAWI SAYO AT MAGSORRY DAHIL SA
NANGYARI NOONG LINGGO (Dad, we just want to make it up to you and say
sorry for what happened last week
BRY: TAY, TODAY IS SUNDAY IT’S YOUR DAY, KAYA KAYO NA ANG BAHALA. KAHIT
ANONG GUSTO NINYONG GAWIN (Dad, today is Sunday, it’s your day, so you’re
in charge. Whatever you want to do)
ALAN: KAHIT SAAN KAYO NA ANG MASUSUNOD (Anywhere, you decide and we
will follow)
(Pagkauwi nilang pamilya sa kanilang bahay) (Upon the family's return to their
house)
Manuel:Doc (Doc)
Doc: Manuel, ah good news mali yung unang reading ko, I was wrong wala
kang cancer. (Manuel, it's a good news, my first reading was wrong. I was
wrong, you don't have cancer.)
Doc: Pinadala ko sa Manila for retesting, I got the test back and they came
back negative. (I sent it to Manila for retesting. I got the test back and they
came back negative. )
Manuel: Teka ang sinasabi mo ba, wala akong cancer? (Wait, are you saying I
don't have cancer )
Doc: Wala TB infection lang, pero don't worry madaling lang magamot ngayon
yan at hindi to nakakahawa. I'm sorry Manuel, I'm sorry sa kaba na ibinigay ko
sayo. Pero at least hindi ba, 2 to 6 months lang ang pinag-uusapan natin dati. O
eh baka ngayon kaya mo pang magdalawang dekada. Gamot pang TB na
ang dapat ireseta sayo. Pasensha na. (Nothing , it's just a TB infection, but don't
worry, it's easy to treat now and it's not contagious. I'm sorry, Manuel. I'm sorry for
the anxiety I gave you. But at least, isn't it true that we were only talking about 2
to 6 months before? Oh, well, maybe now you can live for two more decades. I
should be prescribing you TB medicine now. I apologize.)
Jun: Nung, wala kang sakit? Wala kang sakit Nung? Wow magandang balita
yan, tara sabihin natin sa kanila. (Nung, you don't have a disease? You aren't
sick, Nung? Wow, that's good news! Come on, let's tell them.”)
Manuel: Teka,teka, teka natatakot ako eh, kasi kung sasabihin ko sa kanila
baka hindi na sila bumalik dito. (Wait, wait, wait, I'm scared, because if I tell
them, maybe they won't come back here anymore. )
Bry: Tay sino kausap niyo (Tay, who are you talking to?)
Manuel: Wala, wala ah, nangungumusta lang, pinapaalala yung gamot ko.
(Nothing, nothing, he was just checking in, reminding me about my medicine. )
Bry: Oh, nainom niyo na ba ang mga gamot niyo? (Have you already taken your
medicines? )
(After spending the whole day Manuel’s children went to their own homes.)
Narration
Bryan: Kumusta namn mga preparation, ayos naman baby? ( How is the
preparation, is everything okay baby?)
Bryan: Ah everyone, siya si Baby, siya ang aking executive assistant at Siya ang
nag- ayos ng lahat ng ito. (Ah everyone, she is Baby, this is my executive
assistant, She arranged everything for us)
Baby: You're not funny. Ay tara na po tatay. (You're not funny, Let's go daddy)
……………………………………………
Allan: Sigla ng tatay ah. (Dad is full of energy, look)
Bryan: Ayos ah. Parang walang sakit. ( That's great. It's like he isn't sick)
Jun: Oo nga parang masyadong masigla. (You're right, he's too energetic)
Cha: Ikaw kailan ka kaya mag-aasawa (You, when are you going to het
married?)
Tatay: Oo nga bryan. May aabutan paba akong apo sa iyo (Yeah Bryan, will I
ever have grandkids by you?)
Jun: Si kuya dipa ready. Ako ready na. ( Bryan isn't ready, but I am...)
Narration:
Narration
(While the family attempts to put aside their differences and grant their father his
dying wish, the long-standing conflicts and deep-seated resentments between
the siblings—Allan, Cha, Bry, and Dex—begin to resurface. The forced proximity
and the emotional pressure of the situation highlight their failures to truly
connect and their individual struggles. Allan is dealing with a financial crisis
related to a loan. Bry feels sidelined and overshadowed by Allan, carrying the
weight of past sacrifices. Cha often finds herself caught in the middle, and Dex
remains the youngest, struggling with irresponsibility and his own legal troubles.
The attempt to be a picture-perfect family for their father is cracking under the
weight of their unresolved personal issues and old family wounds.)
(TUMAYO SI BRY)
BRY: GUSTO SANA KITANG KAUSAPIN, KUYA. (I want to talk to you, bro.)
ALLAN: okay.
ALLAN’S WIFE: UHM, MAIWAN KO MUNA KAYO. (uhm, i’ll leave you here for a
while)
ALLAN: BAKIT NGAYON KA LANG? (WHILE PUTTING BACK THE LID OF THE LIQUOR)
(Why did you just get home now?)
BRY: YUP!
MARK: (LAUGHING) HUH, THANK YOU TITO! (HUGGED HIS UNCLE BRY) THE BEST KA
TALAGA TITO! THANK YOU PO! (huh, thank you, uncle! You're really the best,
uncle! thank you!)
BRY: SORRY AH… NAKIKITA KO KASI ANG ANAK KO SA KANYA EH (sorry, i see my
child in him.)
(BRY BROUGHT OUT HIS PHONE TO LOOK FOR HIS SON’S PIC)
(WHEN ALLAN SAT DOWN, HE WORE HIS GLASSES WHILE BRY GAVE HIS PHONE TO
HIM)
BRY: NAG-AARAL PA AKO NON. I WAS 19. HINDI PA KASI AKO READY NON EH
KAYA AYUN NAGALIT SIYA TAS PUMUNTA SILA NG AMERICA. (NAIIYAK NA SI BRY
DITO NA PART) SO I NEVER GOT TO SEE HIM. THAT WAS 19 YEARS AGO,
PRACTICALLY HALF OF MY LIFE AND HIS ENTIRE LIFE. HINDI AKO NAGING AMA SA
KANYA. (I was still studying at that time. I was 19. I wasn't ready so she got mad
and they went to America. so i never got to see him. That was 19 years ago,
practically half of my life and his entire life. I was never a father to him.)
ALLAN: PE-PERO HINDI PA NAMAN HULI ANG LAHAT BRY. ALAM MO KAHIT
PAGBALI-BALIKTARIN MO ANG MUNDO, TATAY KA NIYA. (B-but it’s not yet late,
Bry. you know, even if you turn the world upside down, you’re still his father.)
BRY: SA DUGO, OO. PERO SA PAPEL AT SA PUSO NG ANAK KO… HINDI. (BY

BRY: SYEMPRE, HINDI. GUSTO KO, KUYA. ALAM MO NGA NANDITO SILA SA

LOOKING AT THE PHONE)
Narration
Nagpunta sina Allan at ang kaniyang asawa sa ospital para sa kaniyang check
up, at doon nila nakita ang kanilang ninong, na siya ring doktor ng kanilang
ama. Napag-alaman nilang bumisita lamang ang doktor sa isang pasyente
kaya naroon ito sa ospital nang mga sandaling iyon. Saglit silang nag-usap
upang kumpirmahin ang kalagayan ng kanilang ama. ( Allan and his wife went
to the hospital for her check-up, and there they saw their godfather, who was
also the doctor of Allan’s father. They found out that the doctor was visiting one
of the patients, which was why he was at the hospital at that moment. They
spoke briefly to confirm the condition of their father.)
Doctor: O kumusta ang tatay mo, inuubo pa ba? (How is your dad? Is he still
coughing?)
Allan: Di naman, okay nga pakiramdam niya ngayon e nakapag outing pa nga
kame nung linggo (Not at all, He's actually doing well. We even went to the
beach last sunday )
Doctor: Okay thats good ah that's good , sabi ko nga kasi sa kaniya madali
nalang magamot ang TB (Okay. that's good. That's good. I did tell him that it's
just easy to treat TB.)
Allan; TB ?
Doctor: Naetawag ko na sa kaniya nung last week pa. (I already told him this
last week.)
Narration: Walang kaalam alam ng ang kanilang ama na narinig ni Dex and
pag-uusap nila ni Jun at nalaman ni Dex na walang Cancer ang ama. Sa
kabilang banda ay nalaman ni Bry and tungkol sa pagkakasangkot ni Dex sa
isang scam at may balak ang kanyang boss na kasuhan si Dex. Tinawag niya si
Dex upang sila ay mag-usap ngunit umabot ito sa pag-aaway. (Their father
didn't notice that Dex heard his conversation with Jun about him having no
cancer. Outside the house, Bry found out about the scam wherein Dex is
involved and Bry’s boss want to file case against Dex. Bry call Dex to confront
him but it led to an argument)
Bry: You stole money from this people. That’s a crime you know
Dex: No kuya hindi ako nagnakaw (I did not steal brother. I was also conned)
Dex: Eh syempre hinahanap nila ako eh ( Because they are hunting me)
Dex: Eh bat ako sinisisi nila, Kuya promoter lang ako. Hindi ako ang producer
(Then why are they blaming me, brother I am just a promoter not the producer)
Bry:At hindi mo ba inalam kung legit yang lecheng event (And you didn’t even
verify the legitimacy of that stupid event)
Dex:Hindi ko naman alam na isasabit nila yung event eh ( I had no idea that the
event was a scam)
Bry:Well, your ignorance doesn't make you a victim. It just makes you stupid.
Dex: hindi lang sya babae, pamilya ko sya (She is not just a girl, she is my family)
Dex: Anong sinasabi mong pamilya (What family are you talking about?)
Dad: Dex
Si kuya, ate cha nag asawa ( Brother Allan and sister cha got married)
Narration: Sinabi lahat ni Dex ang kanyang hinanakit. (Dex told everything her
pain)
Bry:Oh nasaan na yung pinili mo, Asan na yung Aira (Then, where is the person
you chose, where is that Aira)
Nasaan (Where)
Dex grow up, stop fucking your life and stop fucking others people life.
You fucker
Narration: Itutulag na sana ni Bry si Dex dahil sa galit ngunit pinigilan sya ni Allan.
(Bry attemted to push Dex but Allan stopped him)
Dex: Oo, bibig, bibig ko, bibig ko talaga (yes, my potty-mouth is the problem)
Bakit hindi natin pag-usapan kung gaano ka perfect yong babaero mong
asawa (Why don’t we talked about how perfect your womanizing husband)
Cha:Huwag mong ipasa saakin Dex (Don’t turn the table to me Dex)
Dex: Hindi, Pag-uusapan natin to para malan niyo na hindi lang ako ang olets
dito (No, were going to talk about it for you to know that I am not the only stupid
here)
Silence……
Dex: Oo, nahuli ko pa mismo yung asawa niya na may kasamang babae. (Yes, I
caught her husband with another women)
Allan: Hindi niya pwedeng gawin sa iyo iyon. (He can’t do that to you)
Dex: Pwede, Eh hinahayaan sya ni ate eh…oh (He can, Sister is letting him do
that)
Noon pa namin sinasabi sayo, gago yang lalaking yan. Ang tigas kasi ng
ulo mo ( We told you many times that that guy is a jerk. How stubborn you are)
Cha: Oo na, Oo na, …..Kaya ayaw kong magsabi sa inyo kuya, kasi kasalanan
ko. Ako gumawa ng problema. Titiisin ko. (Yes, Yes, That’s why I don't want to tell
you. Because it is my fault. I am the one who made a problem. I will endure it)
Kasi may sakit sya baka lumala (because his illness might worsen)
Narration: Sinabi ni dex and katotohanan na walang sakit ang kanilang ama at
nagdulot pa ito ng mas malaking pagtatalo. (Dex told everyone that their
father is lying about his illness which led to more heated argument)
Bry:Sandali (wait)
>magkakatinginan lahat<
Bry: heh, ano ginagago niyo lang kami (what, your just making us fool)
Hindi cancer ang sakit ng tatay. Mali yung unang findings sa kanya
(Father doesn't have cancer. The initial result was wrong)
Bry: Bakit hindi niyo sinabi sa amin kaagad ( Why didn't you tell us right away?)
Allan: Kahit kailan kasi ang tingin mo sa tao, puro pera ang habol sayo. (Even
before, You only think that we just want money from you)
Why is it, is it my fault, na unlike you and kuya, I choose to stay and study?
( Is it my fault that i choose to study unlike you brother)
Bry: Do you even know what I went through, What I had to give up just to help
you?
Hindi (no)
Hindi dba, dahil wala ni isa sainyo ang nagtanong saakin kung okay ako
( No one, because not even one of you asked me if I am okay)
Bakit? kasi walang maiiwan dito sa bahay eh, puro wala kayo ni tatay eh
(Why? , because no one will be left to guard the house, father and you is always
not here)
Dahil ikaw kuya, may pamilya (Because you, you have a family)
Kaya kayo, Kayo lang naman ang meron ako (that's why you, all of you is
the only thing I had)
Kayo lang ang pamilya ko (You are the only family I have)
But why’s that you always make me feel that I am the enemy
Dad: Bry…
(Allan visited Bry’s house with a pancit. In a few knocks, Bry opened the door
and Allan talked. Inside the house, he asked for forgiveness which Bry quickly
accepted. They visited Dex and conversed calmly until they hugged one
another. They attended Cha next in her house, now problematic after Jerry left.
She immediately embraced her brothers, who decided to go somewhere with
her.)
Narration
Pagkatapos magkaayos-ayos ang magkakapatid, nagtungo sila sa isang
restaurant. Doon nagkita sina Bryan at Juliana kasama ang kanilang anak.
Maingat na lumapit si Juliana kay Bryan at tinanggap niya ito nang mahinahon.
Ipinakilala niya sa bata si Bryan bilang tunay nitong ama, na nagpatahimik sa
lahat at nagbigay daan sa isang emosyonal na pagkikita. ( After the siblings
finally settled their differences, they went to a restaurant. There, Bryan met
Juliana and their child. Juliana cautiously approached Bryan and welcomed
him gently. She introduced him to the child as his real father, which brought
silence to everyone and opened the way for an emotional reunion.)
Tay: (umupo sa bench and diniligan ulit yung halaman sa may puntod ng
kanyang asawa)
: Naku Nay, matutuwa ka. Nakuha na ni Cha yung recipe ng pancit mo.
Ang sarap! Eh… ang problema nito, baka hindi ko na matikman uli eh.
Kasalanan ko eh. Kasi…nagsinungaling ako sa kanila eh. Actually, alam mo
ang dami kong pagkuku… (Oh, Nay, you will be happy. Cha mastered the
recipe of your pancit. It’s delicious !. The problem is that… I might not taste it
again. This is my fault. Because… I lied to them. Actually, you know I have many
shortcomings…)
Ang dami kong pagkukulang sa kanila. Ikaw naman kasi eh. Iniwan mo
kaagad ako eh. Ang aga-aga. Tapos hindi mo man lang ako tinuruan…(cried)
kung papa’nong maging nanay sa kanila. Ayan ang nangyari! Palpak tuloy
ako. (I failed them so many times. This is on you. You left me too early. Too soon.
And you never even teach me… on how to be a mother to them. That’s what
happened! I kept failing.)
CHA - (Cha came and interrupted Tay’s solliloquey…along with her 3 siblings.
Tatayo si tatay)
: (while staring a her father) ‘wag nay. Kailangan pa siya ng mga anak
niya. Kailangan pa siya ng mga apo niya. (Don’t, Nay. His children still need him.
His grandchildren still need him.)
Tay: Hindi eh.. Ang laki ng kasalanan ko sa inyo eh. Wala ako nung nagsisilaki
kayo eh. (cried) (No… I have done a great sin against you. I was not there when
you grew up.)
Cha: (Inalalayan si Tatay) Tay, tay, tay. Eulogy mo ‘to. (Tay, tay, tay. This is your
eulogy.)
Cha: Hindi ka dapat nagsasalita, umupo ka na. (You shouldn’t be talking, just sit
down.)
Cha: (pinipilit paupuin si tatay. Allan came to accompany their father too) Hindi
nga. Shh shh, umupo na. (No. Shh Shh. Just sit down.)
Tay: Gano’n? maki.. Tagapakinig lang ako? (That’s it? I’ll just… I’m just a
listener?)
(Tatay sat on the bench and pumunta yung apat sa harapan niya. Dex - Allan -
Cha - Bry. the fixed themselves and…)
Bry: Tay… please don’t blame yourself. I know you did your best as a father.
Kaya alam ko…alam ko yung sakripisyo niyo tuwing umaalis kayo. Wala
namang magulang nahindi nahihirapan…iniiwan ang anak. Kaya
kung…nami-miss namin kayo (sob), alam kong mas nami-miss niyo kami. (Tay,
please don’t blame yourself. I know you did your best as a father. Now I know… I
know your sacrifice everytime you leave. There’s no parent who doesn’t
struggle… leaving his child. That is why when… we miss you, I know you miss us.)
(Don’t focus lang kay Bry, get the siblings reaction. From Allan and Dex, then
Cha.)
Tay: (nods…then tumayo) Pero…nagsinungaling parin ako eh. (But… I still lied.)
Bry: Uhmm…Tay, tungkol dun sa.. sa lie…I may not agree with it, we may not
agree with it but…I understand. I understand kung bakit mo nagawa yun.
(Uhmm… Tay, about that… lie… I may not agree with it, we may not agree with
but… I understand. I understand why you did that.)
Allan: Pasaway kasi kami eh. (We’re so stubborn.) (smiled and pointed himself
then tinapon yung tingin kay Dex)
Dex: Tsaka, good news yun Tay. Mas matagal ka naming makakasama.
Makakabawi kami sa’yo. (PAUSE… Father listens) Lalo na’ko. Mula nung
namatay ang nanay, nakalimutan ko na…nahihirapan ka rin. (Cried) Na-miss
ko lang po talaga kayo Tay. Imbis na lumapit ako sainyo, …mas pinili kong
lumayo. Sorry Tay. (Also, that’s good news, Tay. We are going to be with you for
a long time. We are going to make it up to you. Especially me. Since mother
died, I forgot…you’re also struggling. I just really missed you, Tay. Instead of
going to you, I chose to stay away. Sorry, Tay.)
Tay: (nods)
Allan: Guilty lahat kami dun Tay. Naging busy kami sa pag-aayos ng… ng
sari-sarili naming buhay. (cried) Nakalimutan naming naiwan ka naming
mag-isa. Kaya dapat kami Tay ang mag-sorry sa’yo. (clasped his hands like
saying sorry) (We’re all guilty in that, Tay. We’re too busy fixing… our own
personal lives. We forgot that we abandoned you alone. So it should be us who
should say sorry.)
Tay: Pwede na? (this will do?) (asking for his turn to speak. Cha laughed and
nodded. Bry smiled as a response as well.
(Then, Allan came too. Tinawag sina Dex. Tumabi si Cha and Allan to give
way for Dex and Bry to hug their tatay)
Tay: (during group hug) Nay, okay! (thumbs up) Ayos na. (Everything’s well.)
Ryan: (passing through the crowd) Excuse me. Excuse me. Oy1 Sandali lang!
Ang ingay-ingay niyo. Tigil niyo yan! Tignan niyo sa tapat, may
GROUNDBRAKING event ako sa tapat niyo! ((passing through the crowd) Excuse
me. Excuse me. Hey! Just a moment! You’re so noisy. Stop that! Look straight
ahead, I have a groundbreaking event right in front of you!)
Tay: (sarcastic laugh) HA HA. Eh may relaunching kami rito. Sino ka ba?
(pointed his pointy finger to Ryan) ((sarcastic laugh) Ha ha. Well, we have a
relaunching here. Who are you? (pointed his finger at Ryan))
Ryan: Ako si Mr. Kim. Yung MAS gwapong mr. Kim. (I am Mr. Kim. The more
handsome Mr. Kim.)
Allan: Eh.. (confused) sino yung isang Mr. Kim? (Uh.. (confused) who’s the other
