Jacqueline Comes Home: The Chiong Story

Father...

forgive me for I have sinned.

It's been seven days since my last confession.

Open up your heart, my child,

and he shall listen.

Father...

I lied.

I've pretended that I wasn't bothered.

I've been acting like...

like I'm not scared.

But the truth is...

I'm worried about what may befall to my sister.

Sometimes, I play it off as a joke but...

I'm actually afraid of not being able to protect her.

But, I can't tell her that because--

My child.

We cannot protect our loved ones,

from all the evil in this world.

The short time we are given in this life,

let us offer it all to the Lord...

until he calls us home.

Yes, father.

Ma...

Ma, could we please eat first?

Please, Ma.

Ma.

Hey, Marijoy!

What happened to you?

What took you so long? We've been waiting for you outside!

Daddy, it's because I saw...

my stalker's car out front.

So, I was going to leave through the back.

- I'm sorry... - Your stalker, again?!

I'm sorry–

Come on, let's go. It's already 5:30 P.M.

Your mom's waiting in the car.

Is she mad?

Not really but next time, just come out right away.

Boss...

is that the girl you've been talking about?

Huh?

Hey, you can't smoke there!

Why? Who's going to stop me?

Boss, she's mighty fine!

She's mighty fine, really!

Do you guys know how Lapu-Lapu beat Magellan?

Because...

they fought by the ocean.

You know what Lapu-Lapu is?

A fish! Isn't it?

No!

Haven't you noticed?

It's so hot!

So, when Magellan and Lapu-Lapu fought...

You guys know why Magellan died?

Because of a heat stroke!

You're right!

It's really hot in here!

Im getting roasted out here!

Like a roasted pig...

and that's the end of Magellan.

You guys are crazy.

Crazy!

The reason why Lapu-Lapu was able to beat Magellan...

because he had someone as beautiful as Bulakna on his side.

I knew it!

Right?

Right, bro?

Haven't you had your eye on Bulakna for the longest time?

Right?

Isn't she your girl, Jeff?

Isn't she your sweetheart?

Right?

You jealous?

You're really that into her, huh?!

I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into.

And I hope you can straighten out that tongue of yours!

American Boy.

Shouldn't this guy be the "American boy?"

Look at her,

she's gorgeous,

and she's sweet.

She's the one, bro.

Joy?

Marijoy?!

Jacqueline.

If you only saw them out there, they're really scary.

So creepy!

Relax... Relax, okay!

And it feels like they want to come near to you, you know?!

Hurry!

Hey, It's Ma'am Cherry!

Ma'am Cherry have you seen Jacqueline?

I don't know! Where are they?

Jacqueline said she was coming here to "The Battle of Mactan."

Marijoy!

Relax. Calm down, you're just having a panic attack!

It was probably nothing.

But, Jacqueline!

Th- the way they smiled...

- It was so perverted. - Listen, listen, listen.

It's okay, all right?

What's important is the worst they could do is look at you.

What you need to think about is mom.

We saw auntie Thelma but she seemed to be in a rush.

She was looking for Marijoy.

She said, she suddenly left her.

Marijoy!

Oh my...

god, Mom! Jacqueline, oh no!

I'm screwed!

Yeah, okay okay!

- Jacqueline! - Okay, okay, don't-

Sorry! Mom!

Don't worry. I'll be the one to talk to her later.

Hey! Were you two with Joy?

Auntie, we've also been looking for her.

- We were just with her! And she just took off! - Okay, okay I'll look for her.

Ma...

Marijoy!

You were home all along?!

- I've been looking for you! - Ma! Ma!

Calm down. Don't be mad at Marijoy.

She just had a panic attack earlier.

Panic attack?!

I'm the one who's been panicking looking for her!

Ma, she has this admirer who's been following her.

and she saw him there at "The Battle of Mactan."

Don't be mad at her.

Yes mom. There were a lot of them there.

A whole group, I thought they were going to come up to me...

so you slipped on my mind.

Ma, I told her already...

she should've ran to you instead.

But when I ran into her, she could barely speak that's why I took her home.

I'm sorry, Ma.

I'm really sorry.

That's it?!

A panic attack?!

You two talk! I'm so tired looking for you!

What a mess!

What's with all the yelling?

Huh?!

- Hmm. - Hey...

how was "The Battle of Mactan"?

Hey, hey! Why are you guys not noticing me? Give me some of those.

Here she is!

"Sweetheart" is here already!

She cheated on me!

No! No!

- No! No! - She cheated on me!

- Poor sweetheart! - No!

She's screwing other men behind my back!

What do you want us to do with her?

That's not true!

That's not true!

Please, let me go, I will never do it again!

I'll give you what you want! I swear.

Why do you believe her in the first place?!

That's what you get for believing her, bro.

Start the festivities!

Start it up!

Sonny!

Sonny!

Sonny, help me please!

Sonny, please! Help me!

You betrayed my friend.

That's not true.

It was nothing, I was just hung out with my friend!

Do you believe her?

Do you believe her?

It was nothing?

Okay...

Okay.

Jackoff.

Jerk.

Come on! What's up with you man?!

Who's next?

What now?!

Just buy it!

- What? - It's beautiful.

Maybe next time?

What?

Don't be so stingy!

You just earned your first pay!

- But... - Hey, Jackie!

- Is that you? Hi! - Faith...

Do you like that?

- That just came in. - Really?

- Is it for your mom? - Well, yeah.

Okay, could I get this in large size?

- Sure, let me check in the back. - Okay.

Thank you!

Just buy it!

I want to see it first.

- Come on now, it's beautiful already. - Yeah, but I want to buy it for mom.

Oh, really?

- What "Oh, really?" - Just for her? Lucky her...

What?

What? What are you talking about?
