Every woman has the right to look young and beautiful.

That is her privilege for being a woman.

Good morning, Doctor.

Rise and shine, Philippines!

Our time right now is seven and a half minutes past 7:00 AM.

Thanks.

To those of you taking their coffee,

finishing up or just starting their breakfast,

- a beautiful morning to you all. - Bottled water, m'am?

In the headlines,

tributes still continue to pour...

for one of the acknowledged leaders of our business cormCunity,

Rarnon Cobarrbias.

How many scheduled lipo procedures to go?

Doctor, you still have two scheduled operations.

Wait, I have an interview and pictorial today.

What time is that?

Lita.

M'am?

Have the children taken their bath?

Go check on them while I take these orders.

Yes, m'am.

One Chanel bag.

One Coach bag.

I already emailed you last night the work done by Jonjay, M'am.

You haven't received it yet?

Nope.

To which email address did you send it?

To your office email, M'am.

Why did you send it to my office email?

Did I not tell you I can't access that email at home?

Did I not tell you to send it to my Yahoo account?

Why don't we have breakfast first before you text her?

What time is it?

Suit yourself.

Hey.

Hey, wake up.

You have a nine o'clock appointment.

Hey princess, you better wake up.

You have a g o-see at 9:00.

It's already 7:30.

You still have to put on your face.

Now for the top of the hour news.

Real estate and telecommunications rnagnate Rarnon Alfonso Cobarrbias...

was created yesterday afternoon...

arnidst tributes and accolades for this social and civic leader.

His widow, beauty queen Marilou Cabuyao-Cobarrbias,

together with his only child from his first marriage,

Amanda Cobarrubias-dela Vega and her children,

joined rnernbers of the public and private sectors...

in giving their final respects to one of the most prorninent citizens of this country.

Ramon Cobarrubias succumbed to a major cardiac arrest...

after attending a rneeting of the ASEAN Business and Energy Conference...

held in Makati City last Wednesday.

And up! And right! Now let's do the V!

V! V! Let's go! V!

Have you talked to Marilou?

Not yet. Did you attend Ramon's cremation?

No, I did not bother going.

Professor Huang warned me not to go.

He told me that it's bad luck for me to attend funerals this year...

since I was born under the Year of the Monkey.

It's bad for my feng shui.

Did you see Marilou?

She was in the news just now.

Really? How did she look?

What was she wearing? Did she look g reat?

Of course. But she seemed to have put on weig ht.

Oh no! Really?

Doctor, I feel I put on weight myself.

Maybe we can schedule another lipo procedure?

You're really a crazy woman.

You know that you have a go-see at 9:00 today...

yet you stayed up all night with your boys.

And who was it who didn't come home last nig ht because she was with her boyfriend...

who's already married with three kids?

You're running late.

Do your internet surfing later.

I'll just check my Facebook account.

Ok Carlo, you finish your cereal.

Don't play with your food.

Hey, Paolo. Hey, Paolo.

Paolo, I said "Hey".

You remember what I told you, okay?

Don't g ive me problems with your teacher.

Yes, Mom.

Do you wanna be kicked out of the Ateneo?

No.

Daddy, do you wanna have some breakfast?

What?

Do you like some cereal or do you like some bread with potted meat?

What the heck.

You just g ot out of bed and your mouth is already spouting Eng lish words.

- Lita, bring me some coffee! - Carlo, you eat now.

What are you waiting for?

My goodness, Daddy!

You're so... Y ou're so...

What??

Watch your manners, you pig!

Did I not say I wanted to preview thern before lunch today?

You see, there was a problem with your schedule in the editing bay.

So now I have to take care of my own schedule problem in the editing bay?

I hired you to take care of those problems for me and not to come up with excuses, dammit!

Do you take me for someone stupid?!

Morn, you're not coming home again?

Son, when I get home in Sta Rosa,

I promise to take you to the mall in Alabang Town Center, ha.

Then we'll watch a movie.

You never keep your promises.

Kyle, is that your mom?

Morn's not coming home again this Saturday.

In case you've forgotten, you've g ot a son waiting for you here in Sta Rosa.

Tastes g ood.

Mom, I don't have an off-day this week.

And I'm taking over a friend's shift schedule.

Hey, let rne rernind you that I also raised you all by rnyself...

but can you honestly accuse of me of not having taken care of you??

I can't believe it.

It tastes so good.

I can't believe it.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Machete Corned Beef... comes alive at night.

Hello? Why are you still awake?

Where are you??

I'm still here in the studio.

They just finished taking my test video.

Let's meet later...

before I report for work.

I can't. I have to g o to an event tonight.

But didn't you just go out last night?

I know but I went to party last nig ht.

It's a send-off for a friend g oing to Dubai.

Tonight, it's work.

It's the bar tour of Bolshevik Vodka.

So you accepted that gig?

Yeah. What's wrong with that?

So what tacky outfit are they making you wear this time?

For sure your navel will be exposed,

along with half of your ass,

then your boobs are practically showing...

for those guys drinking in the bar to see.

I'm a promo girl, okay? Hello!

Therefore I need to look sexy.

You know, you're pissing me off too early in the day.

Hello?

Wendy?

Hi. Are you Brian from Facebook?

Hi.

You look different in person than in your photos.

Hop in.

So, you wanna work in broadcasting, Dara?

Yes, M'am. I actually finished my course...

in Broadcast Communications and Media Arts in UC Berkeley.

And now that I'm back home,

I kinda wanna get my feet wet.

You know, experience the real world of broadcasting here in the country.

And I honestly feel, I can contribute a lot to the improvement of your shows...

especially in News and Current Affairs.

Is that right?

So why did you put a new segment producer in my show...

without asking for my permission first, huh?

I don't know her name. It's Dara... Dara whatever her name is.

Why did you put her in my show, huh?

What the heck!

Why do you put makeup that way?

Do it firmly.

Look, you can still see my eyebag s.

How come Ramon never told me anything about these documents?

I cannot answer that question, Marilou.

But sometime September last year,

your husband gave me specific instructions to make the necessary changes...

to the ownership of his various assets and properties over here.

Isn't it written in the law...

that half of the properties left by Marilou's husband g oes to her?

Yes, according to the law.

So how come Marilou is only g etting so much?

What happened to his other properties?

The house is the United States,

the houses in Bag uio City and Batang as province,

and the other real estate properties bought in Canlubang.

Mom, how come you remember all of my husband's properties?

I have a good memory, my child.

All those you mentioned are no long er owned by Ramon Cobarrubias.

What? So who owns them?

Your husband had their ownership transferred to the family corporation...

of which his daughter has majority shares.
