Jed.

- Jed! - Hmmm?

Rafa's crying.

Jed, Rafa's crying!

Mommy will miss you!

Rose, don't forget to feed Rafa. Make sure he doesn't get hungry.

It's just hard to feed him because his teeth are growing.

If you need anything call me right away, okay?

Okay.

Angge, come on! Hurry up! What are you doing?

My God! What's that?

What can I do... I have too much milk on my breasts!

Hello Doc, sorry to disturb you this late. This is Angie... it's Rafa again.

Tell him Rafa won't stop crying.

Rafa won't stop crying, Doc. He's having a hard time breathing.

Tell him Rafa can't eat.

Yes Doc. And he's having a hard time eating.

It's like... yes Doc.

Huh? Yes, his teeth are growing!

That's normal?

Normal?! How did it become normal?

Rafa's turning black out of too much crying, how did it become normal?!

Give that to me.

Hello doc...

Kiss Mommy!

How does it feel to be a mommy?

It's hard but it's worth it.

What they say is really true...

that the moment you see your son...

you will forget all the hardship you went through in your pregnancy...

and all the pain you felt during labor.

You will really be a changed woman.

Friend, wait a minute, I am going to give you the "Mother of the Year" award...

for your dialogue. I'm not used to it!

- It doesn't suit you. - You know what...

ever since Rafa was born...

Jed and I are lucky if we get 4 hours of sleep.

I can't believe it dude...

you even asked for an NBI and CIA clearance for your nanny...

And yet you guys still stay up late?

The point of Angie is that since both of us are working...

we have to spend as much time as possible with the kid...

so when we get home from work we can still take care of him.

That way, we can have our bonding time with the child.

Bonding?

Dude, your son is only nine months old!

He doesn't know anything about bonding!

That's not even my problem. My problem is my wife.

Every time she has free time, she always surfs the net...

and never stops researching! The topic is- Child Rearing.

And you believe everything you read in the Internet and books?

We don't want Rafa to grow fonder with the nanny than us.

Jed! Hey!

What are you doing to your son?

Don't cry.

Look, we're bonding. You told me to bond with him, right?

What kind of bonding is that?

When you shake the kid, it's as if you're shaking a bottle of catsup!

He'll get dizzy! Give him to me!

He's not dizzy... he's smiling! Look!

Where's the smile?!

Look, he's almost in tears out of being cross-eyed!

Give him to me!

Jed, Rafa isn't included in your Batman collection!

He's not a toy! It's not easy to labor at this day and age!

One good thing about Angie, she's very hands-on with the kid...

unlike other mothers out there who leave their kids with the nanny.

The problem is... sometimes it's too much.

I'm feeling feverish.

- You have fever? - I think.

Oh no, you're right Jed!

Can you carry him for a while?

Get out of the room! Out! Don't stay in this room!

Stay there! You have a lot of germs! Don't come in here!

Of course, I understand. I mean, that's our baby.

I know she wants to give as much time with the baby as possible.

You know, whenever Jed comes home even if he's very tired from work...

when he hears his son cry even if he's about to sleep...

he's going to get up just to take care of Rafa.

I'm afraid that Rafa might grow spoiled.

Jed?

Jed...

I know what you're thinking. I'm tired, I just came from the gym.

Why did you exhaust yourself?!

Let me just remind you, I am entitled to my human rights!

Alright, let's do it.

You might sue me for gross negligence.

Oh wait, it's Rafa.

Don't go away, I'll be right back.

That's so cute! You know what, I think I want to have a baby.

Before you even dream of having a baby...

you have to dream of the baby's father first, Catalina!

You should look for a husband first!

It's your fault! You dumped Erwin. He's not bad!

Yuck! I don't like him! His genes suck!

Besides, I pity my child so much.

I don't want him to come out looking like a...

Like a pus!

That's so mean!

I'm just telling the truth.

Hey Sandra, what's up with you?

You're there but it's as if you're not with us.

You're so quiet!

Don't tell me you had a fight with Ronnie?!

My God! It's not you and Ronnie anymore?

No.

You dumped Ronnie?

No.

So what's the problem?

I'm pregnant.

Yahoo!

- Look at my baby! - Ice cream!

It tastes good right?

Hey look! Look at my grandson!

Who are those people? I haven't seen them before.

Those are mom's friends, her supporters.

Why did mom invite those people?

For PR purposes, she needs backers...

she's preparing for her candidacy as councilor.

What? Mommy will run as councilor?

Yes.

I just prefer not to talk about it. But is that even right?

I only see you twice a month.

My God! As if Cabanatuan is in another planet!

Mommy...

Look at Efren and Siony, at least I see their kid growing up.

But your son, he doesn't even know his grandma!

Come on mom, Efren and Siony live here.

So obviously, you see their kid everyday. So you see him growing up.

She's right mom, it's a long drive from Manila to Cabanatuan.

Why? Am I asking for your opinion on this issue?

Well, all I want is a one big happy family!

That's important to my career, you know.

Because we politicians need a wholesome image.

We should have a happy family!

Oh, if you want an image of a happy family...

let's invite Dad here...

with his wife, and their son- Bronson.

- What? - Yes mom, then let's all eat together.

Let's have our picture taken then let's put it in a Christmas cards...

and give them away to all your constituents...

if you want an image of a one big happy family.

Are you crazy?!

That bastard isn't part of our family!

Oh come on, mom! Any way you look at it...

in the law of the church and in the law of this country...

you two are married.

That father of yours, is a disturbance to my political career!

My God!

I don't know about Mommy, as she grows old...

she becomes more sensitive!

What sensitive? She's crazy! Crazy is different from sensitive.

One day, you will just learn that your mother got assassinated.

- Dad! - Come on!

Even I am being ashamed with what your mother's doing.

Doesn't she know that I learn of every foolishness she does?!

Why do you even bother?

Your Mommy is forcing all her neighbors to paint all their houses yellow.

I don't know what I can do to your mother, Angelita.

Why yellow?

It's mom's favorite color.

Your mom is only a barangay assistant and yet she acts like a dictator!

How much more if she becomes a councilor, she's going to impose martial law!

What's wrong?

Nothing. Bronson is just playing with Rafa.

Oh look... the baby is close to his Uncle Bronson.

Bronson, come on, say hello to the baby.

Hello baby.

Bronson, you talk to the baby in English only, okay?

Okay Mommy.

Hey Bronson, don't play with the child too much...

he might get cursed.

Yes Dad.

Jed, your mom feels bad because you don't visit us anymore.

She thinks you've forgotten us.

Huh? We just had lunch in your place last Sunday, right?

Oh, so that's it?

I didn't know their visits with us are scheduled.

How many weeks are we here in Manila?

We don't stay long, right?

The rest of the year, we're in the US.

I know. Angie and you, work. And you're tired throughout the week.

I understand.

So you understand? What's with all the drama?

How can they drive all the way to Cabanatuan just to see that family?

Mom? Is that the real issue here?

That we drive all the way to Cabanatuan?

That's bad for my grandson.

How many hours do you drive to Cabanatuan...

just to be fed with Cabanatuan sausage?!

Don't you get tired of that sausage?

You know Jed, mark my words, one of these days, you're going to die...

because of your cholesterol level out of eating that sausage!

Charito, do not forget that Belita is the mother of Angie.

So? I am the mother of Jed. And I don't want to accept that excuse.

But you know, I understand. You know I...

- Jocelyn, for a while. - Yes Ma'am?

What's this?

What's that?

Don't ask me! You're the one who bought this!
