This way, please.

Before you is the world-renowned Spoliarium by Juan Luna.

At the tender age of 26,

Juan Luna won the first gold medal.

The most striking subject in the painting

is the soldier dragging the fallen gladiator,

the very face of death and oppression.

The Spoliarium also inspired works of art and literature.

Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere has been labeled

as "the Latin echo of the Spoliarium. "

Then there's one of our homegrown bands, the Eraserheads. Have you heard of them?

-No. -Do you know them? No?

They have a song titled "Spolarium,"

but spelled differently. S-P-O-L-A.

Unlike the painting's S-P-O-L-I-A.

Aside from that...

I heard what you just told your students.

It's true, the Eraserheads' song is called "Spoliarium."

But not spelled "Spola." It's "Spolia" as well.

S-P-O-L-I-A,

like the painting.

No. I'm right.

This painting is Spoliarium,

but the song is "Spolarium."

-Anyway... -No, ma'am.

I'm right.

Both the painting and the song are called "Spoliarium."

-"Spolarium." -It's "Spoliarium."

-"Spolarium." -"Spoliarium."

"Spolarium."

"Spoliarium."

Anyway, let's proceed to the next gallery.

Let's gather around.

-Tin! -Mr. Rey, I'll go ahead.

Someone left this for you.

-From who? -He didn't leave a name.

He says you know him and will never forget him.

Okay.

It's starting to get dark

Someone called my name

We're at the eleventh floor

Miss, can you print this out?

-How many? -Three copies.

And you asked if...

Then you offered me a drink

Someone...

Suddenly, I don't want it anymore

And now

I still have no clue

Why are you here?

To look at paintings. Why?

You were here last week.

-You're here again? -Is that against the law?

Of course not.

But you're so obvious.

...the world from turning

Kids, this is part of our history.

But even though it happened back then, we should still keep it in our minds

because it's important for us to know about the past.

So we don't repeat our mistakes.

-Do you understand? -Yes.

-Do you all know who Jose Rizal is? -Yes.

He's our national hero, right?

Spoliarium had a significant influence in Jose Rizal's Noli me Tangere .

Do you all listen to music?

Yes.

Do you know the Eraserheads?

-No. -You don't know the Eraserheads?

They were one of the most popular bands in the '90s.

They had a song called "Spolarium,"

but it's spelled...

I mean, "Spoliarium" is the title of the song.

It's on their Sticker Happy album.

Excuse me? As an Eraserheads fan,

I'm impressed.

Kids, let's all stand up and proceed to the next gallery.

Bye, Mr. Rey! Happy birthday to your youngest!

Thanks again for the gift!

-You're welcome. -Take care.

Have you eaten?

Not yet. You?

Wow!

You're about to graduate magna cum laude,

and you finished everything on time. Are you for real?

I want to work right away.

I want to be of use.

I want to change the world.

-Why? -Nothing, it's just...

Are you sure? You want to change the world?

I'm sure! You can tag along.

We can change the world.

Don't get me involved.

I can't even pass Bio 200, let alone change the world.

Don't you believe in me?

Of course, I do.

It's the world I don't believe in.

So many have tried.

Summa cum laude, even better than you.

They studied at Harvard, armed with a PhD.

But have they done something? Nothing.

You're such a cynic.

Are you 20 years old or 42?

I'm not being a cynic. You're just too much of an idealist.

Idealistic it is.

But if in ten years, you find yourself at The Met in New York,

or Musée d'Orsay, or Rijksmuseum, your museum pass is on me.

Just tell them you're friends with the Filipina archivist.

Just friends?

I'll apply for an MA scholarship at Erasmus and Chevening.

While I wait for the results, I'm going to apply for the job I told you about.

A project officer for a non-profit organization

that focuses on art scholarships for high school students.

That doesn't pay well.

I don't mind. It's what I really want to do.

But I'll still volunteer

at the National Museum and Vargas on weekends.

Just to boost my credentials when I eventually apply to museums abroad.

The state paid for your education, and you'll work abroad?

The foreigners will benefit from you.

From your education. How terrible!

No, sir.

I just want to gather archival experience

and institutional systems that we don't have here.

So when I get back, I can help apply and implement it here.

We will all benefit.

I've heard that before.

They studied in our university,

worked abroad, earned a lot, and never returned.

Just when the country needs them,

they turn their backs.

Sir, I will come back.

I'll hold you to that.

She didn't sign it.

Tin, look!

I knew it.

Is he a stalker?

What are you doing here? Don't you have classes?

I do.

So why are you here?

I wanted to see you.

-I knew it! -You go, girl!

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

-Sorry, I'm sweaty from the commute. -It's okay.

You still look good.

You flirt.

Looks like you need some more food.

That's true.

You want more? Go ahead.

-Combo 3. -Me too!

How much is it?

Girl, you're so pretty even with that pimple.

Wow! Amazing!

This is the song of the youth

The song of the generation

Up to the future

Let's sing it now

This is the song of the youth

The song of the generation

Up to the future

False. True!

Obviously, those are the only two options.

-A+! -A+!

You're really great, Love!

Whatever, genius!

My love is really a genius! A+!

A+!

How about as a lawyer?

Or a doctor?

You have a premed course.

We'd make a nice pair. Me, a museum director, and you, a doctor.

Is that what you really want, Love?

I hope.

Fine, then. Whatever my love wants,

my love gets.

So this is the plan.

I'm going to graduate cum laude, so you won't be ashamed of me.

Then...

I'll marry you.

I'm so lucky.

-So help me, God. -So help me, God.

The nation's scholars...

Are now fighting back!

The nation's scholars...

Are now fighting back!

Education, education...

Raf?

Any plans of graduating?

We'll get there, Auntie.

Okay.

Lazaro, Christine M.

Magna cum laude.

Love!

You're so great! I love you!

That's my girlfriend!

Go, Love!

My goodness.

Edong, can you go faster? We're going to be late.

Love, it's okay. It's still early, anyway.

Your daddy is already so grumpy, Aisha.
