Ms. Sylvia!
Oh, Grace!
-Hi. -Hi, Mom! Hi!
So was my Jayjay a good boy? How did it go today?
He was. The kids all loved his recital earlier.
Isn't that right, Jayjay?
Of course!
-Oh, one more thing. -Mmm.
Batiquin Conservatory has a piano competition they're hosting.
Here's a flyer.
Maybe you'd like Jayjay to join.
It could be good for him.
The prize if he wins is a hundred thousand.
Oh, wow.
The thing is…
See, Jayjay, whenever he goes to a place he's unfamiliar with,
or with a bunch of people he's never met before,
you know, sometimes he gets…
Well, I think it would be good for him to experience.
We won't be able to be there for Jayjay forever, right?
You're right.
Jayjay, do you want to enter the contest?
-Mm-hmm. Whoo! Yeah, Mom, I like that. -Oh! Well, there you are.
Thank you for telling me. I'll look more into it.
-Okay. Bye, Jayjay! -Okay, thank you.
Thank you, Mildred. God bless.
Mm-hmm.
Hello, Edgar.
Hey. Yeah. This is Sylvia, your Aunt Helen's daughter.
Who is that?
Yeah. Um…
-Well, the thing is, it's Jayjay-- -Who's that?
-Uh… No. -Hello?
No, he can go by himself. Yeah. He can take a bath on his own.
Mmm. Hmm.
Oh. Oh, all right.
-Okay. No, I was just wondering if… -Look a robot.
Hello?
-Robot. -Hello?
Oh my! Jayjay!
Hmm, sorry for that.
-Hey, long time! -Oh!
-Oh, hi. -Have a smoke.
-I recently quit. -Hmm!
-You're kidding. -Mm-hmm. Mmm.
Since when?
-Are you all right? You doing okay? -Yeah!
Oh my! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry.
Oh, that was awful!
Ugh!
Eva, can't you watch over Jayjay while I'm gone?
I'm sorry. I really can't.
I really wish we could but of course I've got to work long hours,
and Apple has got her schoolwork.
Yeah, I know. I understand.
Okay then, I've gotta head to work.
Oh, and the rent for this month, please, can I pay next week?
-No problem. Don't worry about it. -Sorry.
-Tell Apple to head home, okay? -Okay.
-Great. -Take care.
Thanks.
Yes!
That's right! I finally beat you, huh, Jayjay?
Of course!
Enough games tonight.
Apple, your mom wants you home. You've got school tomorrow.
Jayjay, go shower.
-Yes, Mom, I will. Yeah. -All right, Auntie Sylvia.
So what did my mom say when you asked her?
It was a no, but…
I can understand why not.
Well, do you have relatives living near there,
or, have you used Facebook to look?
Well, I have no idea what to do with that Facebook thing.
Oh, so, let's give it a try.
-What now? -Come on, Auntie.
Oh, okay.
-If you have an account… -Yeah?
You can search for whoever you want to find. Like that.
-Okay, What am I doing? I'm, uh-- -Ah, here.
-Put in the information. -Ah.
Who is that, Auntie Sylvia?
But now how can I find him?
The last time I heard about him, he was staying in Gen San.
Uh-huh.
All right, so, he was at the Adolfo Boxing Gym.
Oh, it was yesterday.
It's right by the restaurant where you work.
Why the hell would you do that? What if you crushed his balls?
You're a sparring partner, not a boxer!
You know what your problem is? You still think you've got a license.
And if you weren't such an idiot, you would!
What, you wanna kick my ass too? Just try it!
You wanna get arrested, huh?
You are finished here, Joma.
Go find another place that'll take you in.
Hold on a minute. We can talk about it. I don't have anywhere to go.
Before you punched him in the balls you should've thought of that!
That's not my fault. He was the one who started it.
Joma, you haven't changed at all.
Thank you, asshole.
Hey, gimme a Red.
Thanks.
Son.
Have you eaten yet?
I looked for you everywhere.
Believe it or not, I found you while using that Facebook thing.
Oh, son, you'll get wet.
Uh, come on, let's go home.
My apartment is close by here.
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go home.
Joma.
Joma!
Joma! Joma! Hold on!
All right, dude, so tell me what really happened?
Nothing. Let's keep drinking.
You know, the last time you drank like this
was when you lost your license.
I got fired at Adolfo.
What have you done this time, dude?
Gave someone a black eye? Bit someone's ear off?
Forget it, it's nothing. Really.
But that prick deserved it anyway.
And then I saw someone I never wanted to see again.
Who was it?
Maybe I should go through with the move, finally.
Mr. Pabs has been telling me to go work in Ontario.
Oh yeah, I thought you were applying for a visa?
Well, the money ran out.
But I have my papers ready.
I guess that's life.
I still haven't got my ticket.
I've got bills to pay. I don't have enough money.
Okay, so how much more do you need?
I need about 300,000.
Well, damn dude.
How do you plan to earn that?
No idea.
But one thing I'm sure of…
I'm a fighter. Not a sparring partner.
Yeah. But even if you keep on boxing, dude,
you can't keep that up forever.
-Hey, do you remember Dong Carreon? -Hmm?
When he got that head injury? Huh?
He got Parkinson's.
Now he has to shit in a bag.
There's a colostomy bag attached right there on his stomach.
And still I'm telling you, dude,
he can still beat you at drinking without even trying to.
Quit joking with me.
You need to get out there and find a new job instead of sulking around.
That's how life is.
It never lets up.
-Know what our idol Manny Pacquiao said? -Huh?
"Life is meant to be a challenge…
…because challenges are what make you grow, you know!"
Manny!
Bro, you really got deep tonight!
-Come here. Later, man. -Hey, careful! Take care!
-Uh huh. -It's raining. Keep safe, bro!
-Yeah. -See you later.
I'm glad to see you're awake.
The hospital bill has been paid for.
They said you have no serious injuries,
and you can go home once you've been cleared.
And also, a little something for the inconvenience.
You were the one that hit me then? That's what this is for?
If you had been planning on suing us for the incident,
or to extort money from us,
I'm telling you right now that you will lose.
The Labayen family is very powerful.
You won't be able to use those tactics.
There have been many people who have tried it already.
It won't work out for you.
I'm not like that sir.
Really, I'm just grateful I'm still alive.
Is that right?
I'll take that then.
You gave me this. No way.
Joma.
I have some food for you.
This is a specialty over at the restaurant that I work for.
Oh.
Please don't be angry, Joma.
Uh, I was asking around at your gym,
and I found out where you were from your friend Ver.
He told me everything.
How are you doing, son?
-Will they need to perform surgery? -It's fine. I don't need anything.
You shouldn't have brought me food. I was leaving right now anyway.
Well, where will you be going?
Ver told me you've got nowhere to stay. Maybe you can stay with me.
-I can do it. -Oh!
Just… Just until you can go back to work.
Come in.
Uh-- Oh, he has autism.
But… even though he's different, he's very kind.
-Right, Jayjay? -Of course!
This is Joma, your brother.
My brother, Joma, yeah.
Jo– Joma. All right, all right, all right.
Oh. You'll take my room over there. I'll sleep in Jayjay's room.
Oh, and here let me give you a copy of the key.
So you can get in.
There.
Oh! Let me get you a towel. Wait here.
Chicken Bhoy Fried Chicken. It's the best chicken, bhoy!
"Chicken Bhoy Fried Chicken. It's the best chicken, bhoy!"
Thanks for dinner.
That's Jayjay's. Not yours!
Hey! Mmm. That's mine!
Hmph!
Well, looks like your brother won't share with you.
I don't have a brother.
Drink some water.
I'll pay you. So don't worry about me staying here.
No, son.
Really, you can stay here as long as you want to.
Please, you can save your money.
It's a shame if all of it goes to rent, right?
You are family, after all.
What the hell are you doing in here?
Hey!
-Get out! -Shh! Quiet!
Shh! Shh! Stop!
Psst. Hey.
Oh, uh, he just showed up here.
Oh no! I guess he was sleepwalking again.
Jayjay?
Jayjay. Jayjay, wake up.
Jayjay, let's go to your room. Jay--
Jayjay!
I really can't stay over there.
You got another place to crash?
I got an eye out.
But I don't wanna use up all of the money that rich bastard gave to me.
How much was it, anyway? The Labayens are filthy rich.
It's not enough for Canada.
Dude, I need a job sparring. Know anyone?
Dude, are you sure about that? You just left the hospital man!
Look at me!
Elimar Gacho needs a sparring partner.
Who's he?
Dude, Elimar Gacho's only the biggest fighter in Pinoy MMA right now!
Can you even do MMA?
There he is.
Elimar, huh?
-Good afternoon, sir! -Hi, miss!
Uh-uh.
Uh-huh. Good work. That was a clean sweep.
Come on.
-Oh, boss, boss. -Hi.
-Hi. Hey. -A pleasure.
Hey. Yeah.
He's the one applying to spar with you. He's Joma.
Show me what you got, bro.
Show him what you got.
Fast, right?
Speed looks all right, but he's kind of old.
How old are you?
Thirty-five.
Can I see your ID?
I'm thirty-seven.
Thirty-nine. Final answer.
He needs to fight with someone who is younger and stronger.
You know, we're not using headgear for this, man.
Um, my man…
…my guy… my guy is good, huh?
He's a former champion in Mindanao.
You know Mindanao?
Lots of tough guys over there! Like, uh… Manny Pacquiao. Yeah.
The eight-times division world champion!
Besides, experience is a…
is a must!
-And that's right. -Right!
That's right. Uh, well, like my idol said,
"Life is meant to be a challenge
because challenges are what make you grow, you know." Manny Pacquiao.
That guy? That guy sucks, dude!
Whatever. Let's spar.
That's it!
Just go around, man.
Eh!
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
And post!
So you must be Joma.
Hi. Apple. Nice to meet you.
-So mean. -What is this?
Well, obviously you wouldn't know.
Why wouldn't I? Give it here.
What is it? What is it, Jayjay? What's going on?
Don't worry 'bout him, he's acting retarded.
He is not retarded. He's special, you understand that?
He's a person so be respectful.
Jayjay.
How 'bout it, Jayjay? Let's fight.
When you lose, the helmet comes off.
You win!
That was great!
Oh shit.
Oh, come on. I thought you were good.
You're such a brat.
My turn to play.
Come on. Now let's fight.
Whoo!
You win!
Doesn't matter, the game has bad mechanics.
-Go, Apple! -I mean, it's unfair.
The fighting here is unrealistic.
I'm a real fighter. You know?
Hmm?
Hmm, wait. I think I've seen you before.
Yeah, search for me. Look me up.
ABAP 2012.
They got a good picture on there. Hmm?
That's right! That's you.
That's you, isn't it?
It is you!
Wow, you're really famous.
Guys! You'll never guess who's here with us today.
Hey, look at this loser!
-A straight knockout! -He went right down!
Wipeout!
Here we go again. Here we go.
-Every time he goes down, it's funny. -Look at the way he went right down!
-What a loser! -Hey, play that again.
Sir.
Joma!
Joma.
Joma, how are you?
I just want to apologize to you personally.
So you hit me that night?
I'm so sorry. How's your recovery?
Don't worry.
I don't need anything from people like you.
I was the one who was hurt and you accused me of being a scammer?
Wait, did they say it like that?
Well, he might have said it that way to protect me, you know?
Uh…
My father tends to be a little paranoid when it comes to people we don't know.
Because of how I look?
I just wanted to check in and see how you were recovering,
Or if there was anything else you might need.
Thanks anyway.
But I'm all right.
Was the money enough for you? Just say if it wasn't.
Any amount you need.
Fine. Two hundred thousand? You got that?
It's so easy for you to give away this much money.
The evening I hit you,
that was the first time I drove since I was in the accident that night.
And I was the one driving when I was hit.
The truck driver had a few extra drinks that night before he hit me.
And I hadn't driven since then.
It can't always just be rainbows.
Oh, I'm… I'm sorry, I had no idea that--
Mr. Boy will take you home now.
Excuse me.
Table four.
Hey, Arnie, make sure you're not over salting this one, all right?
-Okay, chef. -Lilibeth, dice, don't chop.
-Yes, chef, I will. -Mercy-
-Mercy, how are the vegetables– -Yes, chef?
Excuse me.
Joma.
I'm embarrassed to ask you for this, but I'll ask anyway.
Um…
Would you be able to go with Jayjay to the Center tomorrow?
I just have to take care of something at…
my work tomorrow.
Because the restaurant owner is opening a branch up in Batangas.
Why me? What if he pulls something?
No, he won't do anything. Because Jayjay is a good boy. Right?
Jayjay don't like.
Your big brother will take you, all right?
Jayjay not want. Don't want that! No thanks.
Jayjay's a good boy.
Be good, all right?
He'll go with you.
-Hey-- Oh, what's-- -Ugh! What the hell?!
Huh?
-Jayjay! What's going on? -This is what I was talking about.
Jayjay, what are you thinking?
Let's go to the bathroom.
Let's go. Right now.
It's all right, let's go.
Let's get up.
Enough of that. It's okay.
-Jayjay's sorry. -Oh, Jayjay.
Mmm.
Thanks, bro. This is delicious!
You invited me out, and I pay for it. What a surprise.
I'll pay you back.
I didn't want to eat there.
Sylvia's son peed on the floor.
Do you really call your mom Sylvia?
I don't have a mother.
You're not planning on forgiving her ever?
All I know is,
if she came back for me, my life might be different.
You know, when you were hospitalized, I talked a lot with your mom.
You should talk to her.
She told me that when she came back to the PH, she went looking for you.
And she really couldn't find you anywhere.
Believe me, bro,
because there's no way that someone would abandon their child.
No? Because mine did.
Sylvia
She left me over in Gen San.
She remarried and she abandoned me right away.
Well, Dad didn't abandon me, he beat me up instead.
I'm glad the bastard got arrested.
He never said sorry. Died in prison.
Believe me, some parents really are worthless.
You know, you are always complaining
about how people judge you for the things that you did decades ago.
Things you've done in your past.
You want a second chance, right?
So why don't you do the same for your family?
Bedtime, Jayjay.
-Yeah, Mom. Yeah, Mom. -Hmm? Mmm.
-Mom, hey-- -Mmm?
Uh…
Here, Mom. For you.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Do you like it?
I love it. Thank you.
Mmm…
-Good night. -Good night.
-Come on. -Good night. Good night.
Okay.
Oh, son. You're already back.
Did you eat?
I saved you some dinner from earlier--
Don't call me son. Just Joma, all right?
We can live in peace if you stop bringing up the past, all right?
You help me. I pay you. Nothing more.
Where is the Center at?
-Mmm. Mmm. -Hey, what are you doing?
Hmm.
Hmm. Hmm.
I don't want touch! No more! No more! No more!
Two for the Center. One regular, one PWD.
Thank you.
Ooh-ooh.
-What's "ooh-ooh"? -Ooh-ooh potty.
Sh!
Well, can't you hold it for a bit? You can go at the Center.
My stop is right here!
Hey! Jayjay!
-Ooh-ooh! -Jayjay!
Hey, you can't do that here!
Jayjay– Oh!
Fuck– You're such an idiot!
Jayjay! That's illegal! Stop it!
Just hurry up, okay?
Uh-oh.
Hurry it up.
Oh, jeez! You stupid…
Ooh-ooh.
Would you hurry?
There's a guy shitting over there! Oh my God!
Hurry it up, Jayjay!
-Oh crap. Guard's coming over. -Hey! What's going on?!
No, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Yes. I mean, It's already evening, they haven't come back.
I'm really sorry, Apple.
I'm just really worried about them.
Jayjay isn't answering his phone-- Oh, they're here!
Yes. Okay, thank you, Apple.
Where were you two?
I called the Center, and they told me you never showed up.
Police station.
I'm sorry. The police station? What is going on?
-Yes, of course! -It's cause of the shit this guy pulled.
This is all my fault.
I knew your father’s influence would show up with you at some point,
and now you get Jayjay involved with the police.
Joma. Joma, Joma.
Joma!
Mm-mm-mm.
Mom, I went ooh-ooh in the park.
What? What the… What's ooh-ooh?
Wait, so that's why you were at the police station?
Yes, ooh-ooh in the park.
-Poop in the park for Jayjay. Hmph! -Jayjay…
What did you do that for?
Elimar, look. It's that guy that you wrecked.
Oh, hey! Look who it is!
Hey, there's 1.5 million hits on your video.
Oh, want us to make another knockout video?
I want to spar.
Joma! Joma!
Don't you dare hurt my son!
Get off me!
You are worthless as a wife!
Joma.
Run, Joma! Son!
Mommy!
-Miss! -Don't!
No!
Please don't!
-Jeez, Jayjay! -Mmm.
There you go again.
No!
Shh. Hey, quiet. Your mom will wake up.
Don't be an idiot.
I'm sorry, I was just surprised is all.
Well, I haven't eaten.
Mmm.
You wanna share?
"Chicken Bhoy… It's the best chicken, bhoy!"
Top-billing Pinoy MMA 234.
It's the mega match-up between challenger, Edwin "El Matador" Ortiz,
versus the hottest name in the league, Elimar Gacho!
Elimar, Elimar… Elimar's a prick.
Elimar's a prick.
Elimar's a prick!
-Elimar's a prick! -Elimar's a prick!
Elimar's a prick!
Taho!
Table number six!
-Have you seen Jayjay? -Hmm?
Where is that boy?
He was going out with Apple for a little while
and neither of them is picking up.
Oh, son, I would like to ask a favor from you if it's okay.
There's a competition for piano at the Batiquin that Jayjay wants to join.
Hmm? He can play?
He has a lot of talent, even if he is different, you know?
With just one listen to any song he can play it again flawlessly.
it’s amazing really.
I have to go to Batangas.
I'm leaving to go there on Monday.
No one can go with him.
How long will you be gone for?
Just for a month.
"Just"? A month's long.
If he wins the competition, you'll get half the prize.
I don't want to get in trouble again. What if he pulls something?
I understand. Don't worry. Where could he have gone off to?
Don't think because you're a retard you get off free.
Knock it off! Stop it now.
We're getting out of here. Come on, Jayjay.
You have to pay for the food he ruined.
Hey!
What's up?
You wanna make some money?
I just got paid. Good timing.
Okay, I'll give you a hundred each if you can hit me in the face.
But if you can't, well, you pay me then.
Don't think we'll go easy on you because you're old.
What do you mean old?
Ow!
"Ow"? One second.
Okay, go!
-Old geezer! -Woo!
Hey!
You hit me, bro!
Hey! Are you gonna hit me?
So cool!
Hey! Let's go!
Whoo!
So awesome!
Nice try.
Hey. Money.
I'm paying!
Here you go. It's all there.
Whoo!
You're so cool, Joma!
Oh no!
What is it?
I didn't record any of it.
Move over.
Mommy?
Where were you at? Have you finished your work for school?
Handsome. Who's this guy with you?
This is Joma, Mom.
-Joma. I'm Jayjay. -Jayjay's brother. He's really cool.
Oh, of course!
You're Sylvia's son I heard about.
Well, I'm Eva. Nice to meet you.
-Yeah. -Mommy!
Huh? It's late! Go home. Right away.
And nice meeting you, Joma.
Sorry about my mom, but she's cool.
Even if she's acts like that, I can understand, you know?
Because it's difficult to raise a child alone.
Well, and especially, a kid like me.
Let's go, Jayjay!
Now punch it. Jab!
Jab!
Straight!
Straight. Hit me harder. Let's go.
-Yeah. -Come on.
Harder. Evade! Evade!
Keep moving so you don't get hit.
Come on. Let's do it. Go harder. Jab!
Harder.
That's it!
Frighten those guys, and when you're ready…
Come on!
Yeah!
Pay up, it's three hundred!
Pay up?
-Hey, what's going on, bro? -Nice to see you, man.
Mmm. Thanks for this.
It's been a while since I last ate here.
Mmm.
Do a wacky pose. Come on, be wacky!
Can we have our picture taken like that?
No way. That's cheesy.
Oh, come on! We don't have any pictures of us all together.
And if you leave, we really won't get to have any pictures with each other.
Excuse me!
Yes, ma'am?
Can we have a picture like they did?
Oh, well, that's something we only offer for birthdays at our restaurant.
You get a picture framed.
So, um, who's birthday is it?
Oh, well, no one.
What if we paid you for it?
No, ma'am, I'm sorry.
But we only can take a picture for you if it's your birthday.
-It's our restaurant policy. -Ah.
-Well, that's the way it is. -Yes, ma'am.
-It's okay. -Yes.
It's my birthday. Right here.
Ah, can you show me your ID card please?
I don't have it here. What about it?
Ah. Well, uh… All right, just wait, sir.
Yanna, Yanna! Take their picture. Right over here.
Take their picture for them.
She's coming, sir.
All right. Just put these on for me.
Okay, look at the camera.
Let's take a picture in… One, two, three, smile!
I'm really sorry for this, son.
Jayjay gets like this when he's full. He knocks out.
Are you all right, Joma?
I'm all right, yeah.
Do you want some whiskey?
Oh! Of course. The answer's obvious.
Son.
I'm sorry…
for what I said to you the other night.
Because when it comes to Jayjay, I want to protect him as much as I can.
I don't want it to happen again.
The…
Joma, I know that I have a lot of past mistakes that I have to make up for.
But despite it all, I'm so grateful to see you again.
You and your brother get to know each other.
He's a good boy, you know?
I hope you can learn to love Jayjay.
Why are you talking as if you won't be coming back?
I'll go with Jayjay, all right?
He might win. Can't waste the opportunity.
-But I'll get my cut. -Of course, you'll get the reward. Mm-hmm.
Ah! Well, I'll take a little bit of it for his schooling,
but the rest of it is yours.
Thank you for taking him, Joma.
You have got no idea how much all of this means to him. Really.
You know what we're missing?
We need to put some music on.
Come on, son, let's dance.
No way. Your songs are old. I'm not dancing.
Hey, it's a classic. Come on, let's dance!
Get our groove on!
You look like a dork!
Come on, let's dance!
-Come on, let's dance! -Oh my God.
All right then.
-How's this? -Ah!
Come on. Very good. Two sides.
Mmm!
-Ooh. -Ooh! Ooh!
Here we go!
All right! Now we're moving.
Hey, are you okay, Mom?
What?
That's the first time you called me that.
Mmm.
There's a lot of food in the freezer. It should last you for two weeks.
But if it isn’t enough for you,
there’s plenty of canned food for you to cook with.
Please just don't make meals out of only instant noodles.
-It's fine. I'll take care of it. -All right. Jayjay?
Jayjay.
Behave yourself, okay? Do what your big brother Joma says.
Of course.
Mm-hmm. All right. That's all.
That's all.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye, baby.
-Bye, Mom, bye. -Bye.
Bye-bye. Okay.
You take care, now.
Bye, Mom.
Are you all right here? I've gotta go to work.
Go to work. Goodbye. Jayjay stay. Of course.
Okay, you're coming too.
Whoo! Jayjay will come with you! Jayjay coming!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo!
Go to work! Jayjay's coming to work.
Ahh. Mm-hmm. Come on, Jayjay.
Right. You just stand here.
And anyone out here who walks by, you give them a flyer.
Okay? Like this.
Watch what I'm doing.
Hmm.
All right, all right, all right!
-You got it? -I pass it.
You just stay there, okay? I'll be back later.
Of course.
Yoo-hoo!
Have a flyer!
Your piano skills are great.
-Oh, you want more? -Of course!
Go get some.
You can do it. Show them your ID.
Hmm.
First prize, National Music Competition, Young Artists.
2009, 2011.
Wow, you've been following her for a while now.
-You're a really big fan of hers. -Annette gorgeous.
-Huh? You've got a crush? -Mm-mm.
Huh? Well look at that!
-Someone's got a crush! -Annette gorgeous.
Let's see. She looks all right.
Reverse!
Who is it?
Uh, for Ms. Annette.
A delivery? Leave it there.
No, it's not a delivery.
Let her know it's Joma. Joma Hermano. She'll know.
Ugh! You again?
Did you make an appointment?
Uh, Of course I made one.
She didn't mention it.
Please, sir, just for a minute. I need to talk with her.
I came a long way to get here.
Sir?
Okay, let's go.
My younger brother and I just met recently, and…
and he learned from watching your videos.
Right, Jayjay?
Of course.
First place winner
National Music Competition, Young Artists.
2009, 2011.
Grand Prize Winner.
Manila's next search
for the Piano Virtuoso 2012. Of course! Of course!
Hi, Jayjay.
He idolizes you.
Hey, Jayjay, Ms. Annette is right here. What do you want to say?
Come on.
Annette gorgeous.
Hey.
I haven't played in a long while,
but I really appreciate that you came here to tell me that.
Um, well, the thing is, Ms. Annette, that's not the only reason we're here.
There's a competition.
We were hoping that you could help us so he could enter.
We have no idea where to get the "endorsement from school."
See, he never went to music school.
So I thought that maybe you'd give us a recommendation?
I left Batiquin Conservatory in my past
and I don't want anything more to do with them.
I'm sorry, but I can't help you at this time.
It was nice meeting you, Jayjay.
Excuse me.
I knew it. Let's go.
Psst! Jayjay!
-Jayjay, hey, come on! Jayjay! -Shh!
Hold on!
Jayjay, let's go.
Wow, what a car!
-Where did you go? -Hi.
Why didn't you take me with you?
Apple, do you know where we can get a cheap formal outfit?
Hi, guys! I'm here today to support my good friend Jayjay!
Everyone's watching. Come on, say hi!
For our very first performer, please welcome Ms. Camille Reyes
to perform Prokofiev's "Dance of the Knight."
Oh! You're up next!
Next up is Joselito Hermano.
Ah-- Ah…
Sir, we need you to move your phone away, our receiver is wireless.
Jayjay's phone…
Phone Jayjay.
Let's just turn it off while you play.
Short break. We'll be back.
Sorry, what's the problem?
We need the phone to be turned off, or else we have--
Please calm down.
Don't do it.
No, no! Don't want it!
Apple, what happened? Jayjay! Jayjay!
So, uh, can he go out and do it now? He's calmed down.
No, he can't, and besides, the judges already decided.
Why'd his phone get confiscated? That's just his style.
This is unfair.
They're not giving him a fair chance.
-Thank you for coming. -It was wonderful.
Really. Thank you.
Hello, Cesar.
Annette Labayen.
-Whatever happened to "Mr. Batiquin"? -Now what would I call you that for?
After all, you're no longer my mentor. Or shall I say "tormentor"?
I made you famous, didn't I?
You wouldn't be where you are if it weren't for me.
Oh. Let me say that again.
You wouldn't be where you were if it weren't for me.
Let's go, Jayjay.
We need to go home.
Your brother's already outside waiting for us.
Let's not talk about the past.
After all, I'm only here supporting Jayjay.
Oh, you mean the retarded–
Jayjay has a special gift.
That boy has never taken a single music lesson,
but he plays like that.
He can hear something, just one time,
and no matter how hard the piece, he can do it.
Mom, do you hear that?
Listen to him go. That's Jayjay.
Whoo!
Isn't that what you look for?
Gifted pupils that you can torment?
No.
I can't have someone erratic among the contestants.
Batiquin Conservatory has a reputation it has to uphold.
This is not a place for freaks like him.
Hello. What?
I'm just waiting for Mom to come back.
Yeah, I'm gonna get my papers for Canada ready.
Okay. Thanks a lot, man.
Mr. Joma, good morning.
Oh, uh, I'll get Apple for you.
Wait. Are you really moving to Canada? Are you bringing Sylvia and your brother?
After all, life can be hard here, you know?
But you really should come by my club before you leave.
Have your farewell party there, I'll take care of it. Here's my card.
Such a pity.
We only just met, and I was planning on offering a job at the club for you.
With looks like yours, you'd be very popular with everyone.
Oh, well, boxing's all that I'm good at.
Don't you want to be more than a fighter?
Why don't you try being a lover?
Okay. I'll go and get Apple.
Mr. Labayen.
You should have told me that you were stopping by.
We could have prepared something.
Well, there's no reason why I shouldn't stop by
to visit a school that receives a subsidy from us. Right, Cesar?
What can I do for you, Roldan?
Um, I will be frank with you.
You know, the child with autism,
the one who was disqualified, unfortunately.
I would like you to enter him again.
But why?
Well, you see, ever since the day Annette
met that boy and helped him in preparing for you,
that was also the very first time I had heard her playing anything in ages.
After so many years, I just want to…
…be able to keep hearing her playing,
Well, for as long as I live for.
Cesar, consider it a request from me.
That's the reason why I'm here.
To ask this of you.
Mr. Labayen,
I don't know if you've heard about the way he acted during the qualifiers.
He can't be acting up that way
in a contest that has been an institution in music in this country.
I have to protect our good reputation
which is more important than someone's personal request,
sorry to tell you.
Uh, Norman, the documents, please.
I came here right after a meeting with the board
and, uh, I wanted to let you know that,
well, now I have the majority of the voting shares.
So you can say that my interests
and, uh, your own interests are now aligned,
are now aligned with those of the conservatory.
Fuck! What the hell!
Sorry, Joma.
Joma! Jayjay!
Thanks for coming. I just wanted to tell you the news in person.
Because the competition is letting Jayjay join!
Hey, you're gonna compete. Did you hear that?
-All right, all right, all right! -Awesome!
Wait, how did that happen?
I have no idea! But I received a call from the Batiquin.
They wanted me to tell you that Jayjay was in the competition.
That's great.
Ah, so I'll send you what you need to prepare.
-Sure. It might be because of you. -Hmm.
Bring Jayjay here and we can coach him for the competition.
-Huh! -We'll send a driver and, uh, also…
You need to buy a new suit for Jayjay, and get one for you too.
And don't buy suits for a funeral, okay?
Well, look at us. Pretty good-looking, huh?
It's not too shabby. You look really slick.
Yeah, we're not too shabby, we're looking slick. Whoo!
Good morning, sir. Do you have a Metro card?
No, I don't.
-Thank you. -Thank you, sir.
Sir! Uh, sir! Did you, uh, see my brother?
He's about this tall. Uh-- Here's a photo.
-He went over there. -Over there?
-That's right. -Thanks a lot.
Jayjay?
He didn't come here. Maybe you should give the police a call.
Ma'am, I just came from there. They haven't seen him.
Well, I don't want to worry you,
but have you checked with the hospitals near here?
Okay, I will. I appreciate it.
Oh, hey.
Apple? Have you heard anything?
Hello, Joma, so, he's not in the park,
or in any of the other places I thought he'd go to.
This is him. Twenty-one years old.
Uh, do you have anyone here who looks like that?
The name's Jayjay Hermano.
Oh, sir, upon checking our records, there is no patient by that name.
But, sir, to be sure, you can check over there with the reception.
Thank you.
Apple?
Hello, Joma. Someone spotted Jayjay.
He's over at the restaurant.
He's there looking for Auntie Sylvia.
He must miss her a lot.
Hello? Hello?
Hey, Joma? Hello?
Joma, son?
That's why you left Jayjay with me?
How long were you going to hide this from us?
Is this the real reason you were looking for me?
Because you needed someone to look after your son?
If you didn't have cancer, would you even have tried?
I don't expect you to forgive me for all that I've done,
but I need to ask you this,
I beg of you, this one thing,
Jayjay isn't to blame for any of this, please don't hold a grudge.
And I was?
I wasn't to blame here either.
I was still just a little boy when you chose to leave me behind.
I thought that I was being protective of you when I left you back then.
I thought it would be worse for you if we stayed together.
Joma, I was so frightened of what your father would do.
That's because I knew while he was alive, I couldn't escape your father.
I only had the courage to go back
when I found out he passed away, but you were already gone.
You ran away and I couldn't find you anywhere.
I looked all over.
So then it's my fault I ran away? Because of my aunt's cruelty?
No, son. It was my fault, all of it.
Not yours.
I regret the decision I made back then.
I wish that I had been braver for you.
I just… I just hope there's enough time that somehow I can make it up to you.
Jayjay will come too!
Jayjay come!
Coming with you!
Jayjay--
The Batiquin Conservatory Music Competition
will be held tomorrow night at the Manuel Lacson Concert Hall.
Joselito "Jayjay" Hermano, at 21-one-years-old,
is one of the contestants participating.
This will mark the first time a person with disabilities
will be competing in the province's famous piano competition.
Something that Joma said to me,
"Life is meant to be a challenge,
because challenges make you grow, you know."
Please welcome our next performer,
Joselito "Jayjay" Hermano.
No, no. No, no, no, no.
Jayjay.
Hey, listen Jayjay.
It's just like at practice, okay? All right?
You can do it.
Hmm?
Mom?
Mom…
Get the door.
Mom…
My Jayjay was so good earlier.
I'm so proud of you, Jayjay.
Of course.
Are you still afraid of your big brother Joma?
Of course.
But are you happy that you have an older brother?
Of course, of course.
When it's your time to go heaven,
guess who will be standing there at the gates waiting for you.
Annette gorgeous.
But will you still look for your Mom when you arrive?
Of course.
Hmm.
Jayjay…
You'll listen to your brother Joma, won't you?
I don't want you only eating instant noodles and fried chicken, all right?
Mama…
We're going to go home tonight.
Let's go home.
You know, before, I felt I was…
punished by god with this disease.
…but it has brought the three of us together.
What a gift for me to have.
Mmm.
Didn't know you smoked.
This was Mom's last pack. I just saw it at home.
Mmm.
She was always outside smoking, I remember.
She said the reason is,
she always had one "lucky stick"
and she had to finish smoking the pack to get at it.
She only had one wish, but it finally came true.
Jayjay?
Jayjay!
Hey, Joma, we have no idea where Jayjay went.
Elimar's a prick.
Ah.
-Good morning, sir. -Elimar's a prick!
Oh, okay, okay. Thank you.
Ma'am, someone saw Jayjay over at the Uptown Gym.
Say it again! Say it again!
Don't! What's going on? Hold on!
What are you doing here? This guy just called me a prick, man.
Elimar's a prick!
Whoa! Wait, bro. Sorry.
Sorry, he didn't mean it. My brother's a special kid.
I see. You're a retard like him.
He's not retarded! He's autistic. So don't use that word, all right?
All right. How about you and I step inside the ring,
and I'll fuck you up instead of your retard bro?
Hey, hey!
Jay, you're okay?
Ow.
-We got this fight. -Take it easy!
And fight!
Dude, destroy that jerk!
-That's what I'm talking about! -Yes!
Go, Joma!
-Yeah! Come on, guy! Whoo! -Yeah!
-Hey! That's it, man! -Okay, okay!
You can do it, Joma!
Yeah!
-Yeah! Gloves up! -Watch out!
Don't look!
Keep fighting, Joma!
-You got this! -Get up!
-Come on! -Come on! Keep going!
Keep going! That's right, Joma!
-Come on! -Come on!
You got this, Joma!
-Cover, dude! Cover! -Joma!
Joma!
-Cover, dude! Cover! -Joma!
-Just cover yourself!
I have a lot of past mistakes that I have to make up for.
But despite it all, I'm so grateful to see you again.
You and your brother get to know each other.
I hope you can learn to love Jayjay.
-Oh, man! -Keep fighting, Joma.
-Fight! Fight! Fight! -Grab your hand! Do it!
-Come on, fight! Joma, your hand! -Keep fighting, Joma!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Fight!
That's it!
-Joma-- -Use your hand!
-Do it! -Yeah!
Oh!
Finish it, bro! Yeah!
Boom, boom, boom! One more!
-Whoo! -Whoo!
Whoa.
Oh… Oh.
-Down! -Whoo!
You did it, Joma! Whoo! You did it!
Yeah!
Joma!
K.O. BOOM #ELIMARPRICK
-Go, Joma! -You did it!
Joma! Joma! Joma! Joma!
Yeah!
