What if the rent collector drops by?
Will I have to follow you to Davao?
I won't stay there for long,
so just ask for more time.
Ask for about two weeks.
The last time you went to Cebu,
you said you're off for only a week.
It took you two months
before you came back here.
The two checks you gave me?
Both checks bounced.
Mr. Echeva no longer believes me.
Maybe the next time you return here
even my panties are already sequestered.
That's why I'm going to Davao,
to earn something.
Hon, my flight leaves at eleven.
What time is it already?
Go dress up.
I thought you'll drop me off at the airport.
Go dress up, hon.
I think you're just gonna hide there.
You always put me in a compromising position.
You don't seem to care about me.
You just leave me on my own.
You don't even leave a single centavo for me.
What do you want me to do? To be a martyr?
Sweetheart, are you done? Not yet, just a bit more.
Go wait for me there.
Sweetheart, did you pass by our house?
Yes. They told me you just left before I arrived.
For you.
For what?
Strip down.
You don't want to?
Strip down now.
Here's more.
- What's this for now? - Just take it.
Thank you.
Okay, do it well. Blowjob.
I don't do that.
What are you? Lucky?
I gave you two hundred
for a blowjob, so do it.
I really don't do that.
If you want,
I'll just do sensation for you.
What sensation?
I gave you that money for a blowjob,
and now you'll just give me sensation?
Fine, I'll give you an additional fifty
if you do a good job.
What happened?
Eden? Hey, Eden,
what happened to you?
What happened to you?
My customer asked for a blowjob.
It was just that?
I thought you got in trouble.
I haven't done that before.
Why did you agree to do it?
It's what he wanted.
You know that I really need money.
Alright, alright.
Why? Is your father sick again?
Didn't he write on his last letter
that he was also sick back then?
- My, it's getting often again. - No.
Plus, Helen also needs money
for tuition.
I don't know. I keep working hard
but it's just going nowhere.
Who's it for anyway? Look at me.
My mouth and arms are already tired working in that sauna bath,
yet my earnings are not enough to even buy panties.
Come on, just come out.
Miss, some sampaguita?
- How much is that? - A peso for one.
It's so expensive,
and it's blooming already.
How about two for a peso?
Okay. How many will you buy?
- A peso. - Don't, it's expensive.
Thank you.
You know, Eden, I have a friend
who had the same problems as ours.
There, she worked in a brothel
somewhere in Ma late.
Now, that crazy gal is earning.
You can earn more in a brothel
than in a sauna bath.
Isn't that too gross already?
Almost like a real whore.
I already told you,
I'm just doing this job temporarily.
Why? How different is that
from what we're doing?
Isn't it prostitution too?
Don't we let our customers
touch us too?
Sometimes I'm forced into sex.
So? If you want, let's try.
Even just once.
We have nothing to lose anyway.
Buy some sampaguita. Sampaguita.
Buy some sampaguita.
Buddy, slow down.
Miss, miss!
Why, are you buying?
How much is your sampaguita?
This? A peso for one.
I'll get all of those.
Wait, I'll just count them.
Just a moment, just a moment.
- Hurry up, come on. - Just a moment.
How much are you buying?
Come on, buddy. No need to be rude.
Will that take long?
Wait, I still need to count them.
Just let her in.
Okay girl, get in. There are many
- more at the back. - Really?
You'll buy all of these?
Here. Here's your payment.
Get in now.
Okay.
Yeah, all right!
Look who's happy again.
- Wow, man. - Yeah!
Yeah!
Just let me down.
Hey, what the?
What's with you? What the?
Hey, that hurts!
Ouch...
Ow... What the!
I thought you'll buy my sampaguita?
Yes, here. Can't you see that?
That's fifty pesos. There.
- What? Don't I get any bonus? - I said stop!
- Don't! I said stop! - Don't be noisy!
Just be careful.
- Stop it, stop it! - There's a cop.
There's a cop.
Keep her hidden there.
Shut that girl up.
- Get out! - Why?
- Get out of there! - Get out!
- Come on! - Just wait, boss.
- Grab hold of him. - Easy, boss.
Stop struggling!
Do you know those guys with you
- in the car? - No.
I was just selling sampaguitas there.
They tricked me.
They got me in their car.
Sampaguita? Where were you selling?
There, in Ermita.
- Sir, are you a cop? - Yes.
You came at just the right time.
They wanted to rape me.
You want me to drop you home?
Our place is far.
Looks like they're stoned.
All of you, take care of them!
I'll just send this kid home.
Let's just meet at Aristocrat later.
- Sure, we'll take care of these. - Come here.
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
I'm not at fault here, boss.
What antics were you doing here?
Nothing. She's just our friend.
Go ahead, search him.
Why are your eyes like that?
Had some marijuana, right?
Keep quiet.
Someone might hear us. Keep quiet.
Shut up.
I told you to keep quiet.
Nothing will happen
even if we complain.
So it was a cop who raped you.
What can we do about that?
We're just squatters anyway.
Even the fare going to the precinct
is our problem too.
I won't sell sampaguitas for now.
The earnings are not much anyway.
What about us?
You're the only one we depend on.
Come what may.
I'll just find a different job.
Going already? Don't leave yet.
I still want more.
You're too much. We've been here
for twenty-four hours now.
- What's that? - Go ahead, open it.
What is this?
When will you come back?
Well, it depends.
