Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy

Even before we were born,

my family's story started with a lot of hardships.

How come all your 14 cars are under maintenance?

Yes! In fact, I myself destroyed one of them.

Madam, this car is already fixed.

Somebody put a gum in the carburetor.

You're fired!

Can you deal with that later?

The hospital is here. Hop in.

My mom almost went crazy because of Grandma Amparo...

my father's monster mom.

I'm the doctor.

- Doc, I'm about to give birth! - Bring out the mother!

Help me, because according to the ultrasound, I am bearing four children.

Of course I know that. I'm a doctor.

- Yes! - And who do you want to call?

Ghostbusters!

You're crazy!

Push!

It's a girl.

- There's another one. - What? Another one?

Wait.

It's coming!

Push!

It's a boy!

It's a boy...

My son...

My son...

This is mine!

This is Basilio's brother!

This is Crispin!

That's my son! He came from my womb.

Hey!

How did this lunatic get here?

Nurse! Get her out of here!

Good thing I have a strong mother and she was able to deliver the four of us.

That's Girlie, the girl.

Peter, the boy.

And that's me, Mark.

Pretty, right?

And Panying, that's my tomboy!

They're so cute!

Your children are so cute!

Look, he's crying!

Sister, is it true that you gave birth in a mental institution?

Yes. They brought me there.

I'm sorry...

It's your mother's fault!

Maybe my mother just panicked.

I didn't panic!

I have presence of mind.

You should thank me because I paid the hospital bill.

I'll just settle some business in the US.

I'm not crying because of that!

I'm afraid of your mother!

Just be patient with her, okay?

I don't have a choice.

It's time to go.

You think we're crying because Father left us?

We were crying out of fear.

Bye.

It's because Grandma Amparo leveled up her evil plan.

What's happening?

We're going out. You want anything?

No, I'm okay. Bon voyage.

Bye.

Wait, are you bringing my children?

Stop her! Stop her!

Wait! Ma! My children!

Ma!

You knew about this!

I can never ever forgive them.

Because of them, our family was never together again.

And we lived in poverty.

You evil people!

Come on, Mark. Let's have breakfast.

Go ahead, mother. I'll just work on these four hectares.

No need! Come on and eat first.

But this carabao has an appointment.

What?

It's going to watch a basketball game.

Girlie! Girlie! Girlie!

Half a day passed and you're still sleeping!

Dad...

In a few hours, it's going to be bedtime again so just let me sleep.

Just wake me up tomorrow. I wasn't able to sleep well.

What happened to you?

I couldn't breathe. Something heavy is resting on my chest.

My children are so lazy.

And so pretty.

Peter...

Peter, wake up. It's late.

Wake up!

Peter, you're already addicted to car drifting.

Why are you wearing a helmet in bed?

Wake up!

Peter! Wake up!

Why is it so hard to wake you up?

I don't get you, dad.

You gave me a nice room, fully air-conditioned and a huge bed...

then you won't let me sleep?

Are you playing with me?

I don't know how you grew up to be so lazy.

I'm so hardworking... and handsome!

It's too early for a joke, dad.

Don't act as if it's your first time here in the farm.

I'm used to working in a farm but I'm not used to all these muscles.

Stop it! The kids can see you.

Mom, who are these two kids?

Are you adopting again?

Looks like mother wants to put up an orphanage here in the farm.

You know this makes me happy. So just let me be.

Besides, Joan-p yo is lea ving us.

He will be flying soon.

Korea is getting me as an exchange student.

Exchange student? But you're Korean! Maybe you'll get deported.

Wait, what are your names?

I'm Bella. My mother is going to work in Japan.

She buys vegetables from Mama Pia in the market.

No one will take care of me, so she left me with Mama Pia.

And I'm Ariel. I live by scavenging garbage in the market.

Mama Pia took pity on me so she adopted me.

A scavenger yet so handsome, so fair-skinned and so healthy?

Do you just scavenge garbage or do you eat it too?

I eat it too.

You have such fair complexion. What's your name?

Ariel.

Oh, that's why.

Sister, you might get accused of child trafficking.

Are we that crowded to cause traffic?

I thought we only see heavy traffic in Manila.

Yes, as heavy as your hair.

We're talking about a different "traffic" here.

You don't know a thing about trafficking because all you know is smoke belching!

What's child trafficking?

According to the second paragraph of Section 3A of the Republic Act 10364...

also known as "The Expanded Anti-Trafficking In Person Act of 2012"...

the recruitment, transportation, transfer,

- harboring, or receipt of a child... - You're giving me a headache.

Shall be considered as child trafficking.

In layman's term, the selling of children.

Panying! Carry her!

Girlie...

why are you carrying all of that?

Son, why don't you carry all these shopping bags for your girlfriend?

Jeez, okay? I didn't know. Sorry.

Do you need help with that? Is it heavy?

Thanks, but no thanks.

I have eight arms. Actually, I'm an octopus.

And if you really wanted to help, you should have done it earlier in the mall.

Marie, please don't spoil her.

She might not apply for a job.

Darling, that's okay. I'm shopping for my future kids.

And of course, I want to shop for my future husband as well.

Oh my God! When are you gonna get married?

I'm gonna die of excitement! I am...

I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!

Joke.

Soon, girl. Don't worry, it's going to be very soon.

Right?

How I wish Dave is as sweet and thoughtful as my dad.

Maybe all he cares are my boobies.

Why don't you two break up?

My boobies?

No! Your boyfriend Dave.

Papa, don't preach. I've been losing sleep.

But I made up my mind.

Fm not keeping my baby.

I'm out of here.

Peter, your medicine!

P°ps!

Bro, this is too much.

I think I consumed all your blood.

Fm sorry for my anemia...

Don't worry. Even if I run out of blood, I still have my phlegm.

We still have lots of friends who can donate blood.

Our carabao "Kalalakihan." Hers.

Why me?

I need blood, not squid ink.

Stop fooling around.

What's important is Panying is okay.

So rest now, my daughter.

I'm okay but I feel weak with this pink hospital gown.

Can I get the blue one next time?

Let's go. They're okay now.

Sister, go ahead. I'll take care of them.

I'll take care of Mark.

Okay, I'll go now.

It's okay, Ma.

Rest well.

Take care.

Uncle, why don't you go ahead? He'll take care of me.

He's okay.

And you, you're okay now, right?

You can go now and leave us here.

You said you're feeling better.

Ouch!

Sit beside me.

Peter Jackstone.

Yes, Doc?
