1 EXT. MANILA SCENES. DAY.
A montage of the sights and sounds of Manila on an
ordinary afternoon. The montage shows places and people
in landmarks that define this city: the Quiapo church,
the LRT, Luneta, Quezon bridge, Roxas boulevard, etc. The
hectic sounds of the city slowly blend into the opening
chords of Pumapatak ang Ulan.
As the intro of the song becomes gradually recognizable,
we zero in on a traffic infested highway, to a line of
vehicles lined up bumper to bumper, to a taxi cab trapped
in the middle of a traffic jam, to the radio in the taxi
cab that plays the song.
2 INT. INSDIE THE TAXI CAB. DAY.
ROSE, LILIBETH and VICKY are inside the cab.They just

3.
came from the market. Pumapatak ang Ulan continues to
play on the old car radio as they talk.
Rose has a permanent frown on her face -- preoccupied,
worried, impatient. Lilibeth and Vicky try their best to
brighten up her mood. Inside the cab are their shopping
bags full of cooking ingredients.
ROSE
Talking very fast.) May prusisyon ba?
May rally? Ano bang meron? Manong, naman
kasi, alam n’yo naman yatang traffic,
dito pa kayo dumaan. Magdidilim na
nandito pa rin tayo. Pati paningin ko
malapit na magdilim.
DRIVER
Pasensya na po, misis. Baka may banggaan
lang.
ROSE
Sinabi ko naman sa inyo Mag-LRT na lang
tayo, e. Nakatipid pa tayo.
LILIBETH
Easy ka lang, Rose. Relax.
VICKY
Mage-LRT tayo? Ang dami nating bitbit,
ang init-init, siksikan pa baka madukutan
pa tayo d’un.
ROSE
Para namang may madudukot. at Sa takbo ng
metro nitong si manong di ba
para na nga rin tayong nadukutan.
The driver turns up the radio to drown Rose’s nagging.
VICKY
Oy, gawa ni Pol ‘yan, di ba?
ROSE
Susmaryosep! Manong, pakihinaan n’yo nga
‘yang radyo n’yo o kaya ilipat n’yo
lang. O kaya patayin n’yo na lang, mas
maige pa.
4.
LILIBETH
Eto naman! Dapat nga matuwa ka at tag-
ulan na. May racket na naman ang
asawa mo.
ROSE
Ay! Ayoko nang marinig yan. Nineteen
kopong kopong pa ‘yan. Dudugo na ang
tenga ko sa kantang ‘yan. Pwede ba!
Just in time the song ends with a radio commercial voice-
over.
ANNOUNCER
(v.o.) Maging handa sa unang
pagpatak ng ulan, mag-Tapal
King roof sealant na! Tapal
King roof sealant laging
handa sa pagpatak ng ulan!
The jingle fades out: pumapatak na naman ang
ulan...pumapatak na naman ang ulan...
The radio resumes its regular programming.
VICKY
O, bongga! Magkano naman ang kinita n’yo
d’yan, sis?
ROSE
Hindi na mahalaga kung magkano dahil kung
may kinita man ‘yan ay nasaid na. Kung
bakit nga tayo pupunta pa ng department
store para bumili ng damit hindi ko alam.
Ang mahal mahal. Kung pwede naman sa
palengke na lang kanina o kaya luma na
lang.
VICKY
Ay, hinde, ‘no! Nakakahiya naman sa
babaleihin mo. Kailangan mo naman mag-
ayos.
LILIBETH
Atsaka ikre-credit card naman natin.
Sagot ko na muna. Wag mo nang isipin
‘yun.
VICKY
Aayusan kita bukas nang umaga. At
tutulungan ka naming magluto mamayang
gabi. Okay? Okay na? Okay ka na?
5.
ROSE
Ok? Paano magiging ok? Sabihin n’yo nga,
Vicky, Lilibeth? Paano ako magiging okay?

students - no older than 16. RAPRAP, their 6 year old
son, is Pol’s “assistant”.
Pol looks and listens intently as the beginner students
play their guitar. He holds a bottle of beer and drinks
while teaching every now and then. They are also
practicing the chords of Pumapatak ang Ulan.
POL
Ano’ng sinabi ko kanina? Basic lesson.
Huwag sa fret ipre-press and string kundi

He listens and watches.

POL
Ang strumming n’yo ayusin, ayusin.
One student suddenly gets up and sighs out of
frustration. The other students stop too.
POL (CONT’D)
O, bakit kayo tumigil?
STUDENT 1
E, kasi naman po Mang Pol --
RAPRAP
Sir Pol!
STUDENT 1
Sir Pol, buong hapon na tayong Pumapatak
ang Ulan nang Pumapatak ang Ulan. ‘Yun at
yun na ang tinutugtog natin.
POL
O, bakit, original composition ko ‘yan,
ah? Kailangan n’yong ma-master ‘yan. May
reklamo?
RAPRAP
Oo nga, may reklamo?
STUDENT 2
Wala naman po mang Pol. Ang ganda nga ng
composition n’yo. (Sarcastic.) Actually,
dalang dala nga po kami pero wala na po
ba kayong ibang obra?
RAPRAP
Oo nga naman,’tay, wala na bang iba?
POL
(To Raprap.) Hoy, ikaw, bakit mo ko
nilalaglag? (To his students.) Mga
ambisyoso kayo,ah. Kung yan ngang kantang
‘yan, di n’yo matugtog nang tama,
naghahanap pa kayo ng challenge.
STUDENT 1
E kung wala kayong ibang kanta, eh di,
tumugtog na lang tayo ng gawa ng iba.
STUDENT 3
‘Yung mala-Jimi Hendrix!
7.
STUDENT 4
Eric Clapton!
STUDENT 5
Jimmy Page!
POL
Hindi pa nga kinakalyo yang mga daliri
n’yo, may pa-Hendrix Hendrix na kayong
nalalaman. Wala kayong mga originality.
STUDENT 2
Eh, kung ayaw n’yo po, turuan n’yo na
lang kaming gumawa ng sarili namin.
OTHER STUDENTS
Oo nga po!
Sige na po, mang Pol!
Oo nga naman!
POL
Ang tatayog ng mga pangarap nitong mga
‘to. Nasa technique pa lang tayo. Guitar
lesson lang binayaran n’yo at hindi
composition! At hindi naituturo ang pag
gawa ng kanta. Bakit? Ano’ng tingin n’yo
sa sarili n’yo? Mga artists ba kayo?
(Pauses. All is quiet.) Unang una,
kailangan n’yo ng inspirasyon.
RAPRAP
Paano nga po, ‘tay?
Pol gets his guitar and starts to play and sing.

ROCK
Bro, sigurado ka ba okay lang sa ‘yo?
BRENT
Ibang level ang kakulitan mo. Bro, kesa
naman mag-arkila ka pa ng van bukas -
ipagmamaneho ko na lang kayo. Pakargahan
mo na lang ng gas kung nahihiya ka.
ROCK
Mag-commute na lang kaya kami?
BRENT
Gago, nakakahiya. Mamamanhikan ka, magko-
commute ka. Baka pagharap mo sa
bibiyenanin mo, bumubula na yang kili
kili mo.
BARKADA 1
Mamamanhikan pa kayo? Uso pa ba ‘yun?
ROCK
Ewan ko ba dito kay Tracy. Siya naman may
idea nun. Dyahe nga, e.
BARKADA 2
Ganun talaga ‘pag ikakasal. ‘Yung mga
ermats at erpats kailangan namang
magkakilala. Di naman pwedeng sa simbahan
na lang magkikita yung mga yun.
BARKADA 3
Pare ikakasal ka na talaga. ‘Stig!
Imbitado ba kami? Kailan ba?
CUT TO:

At the Ladies’s Wear section of a department store, Rose,
Lilibeth and Vicky are looking for clothes for Rose to

at sino’ng gagastos.
10.
VICKY
Siyempre, ‘yung partido ng lalaki ang
sagot sa kasal. Nakakahiya naman kung --
ROSE
Kaya nga parang sasabog na itong mga ugat
ko sa kakaisip kung saan ako hahanap ng
gagastusin d’yan.
LILIBETH
Pwede namang simple lang ang kasalan
ngayon. Hindi na uso yung en grande.
Hindi na praktikal. Pang artista’t
pulitiko lang ‘yun.
ROSE
Naku, hindi n’yo kilala si Tracy. Sa asta
ng mamanugangin kong ‘yun mabuti kung
pumayag ‘yun sa simpleng kasalan lang.
VICKY
Bakit naman?
CUT TO:
The boys continue joking.
ROCK
Ibang klase si Tracy, pare. Hindi siya
kagaya ng mga chick dito sa ‘tin.
BARKADA 1
Ibig sabihin ba n’yan sa For-bes Park ang
kasalan? Mahina na sa Shangri-La ang
tsibugan?

Kahit sunugin mo ko ngayon wala kayong
makukuhang pambayad dun. San ako kukuha
nun?

Lalaki ang anak mo.
LILIBETH
Tama!

BRENT
Mali! Mali ka, bro! Maling mali ka naman
d’un. Mangungutang ka para lang lustayin

pagbabayaran mo nang ilang taon?
ROCK
Ikaw naman. Parang di mo kilala si Tracy.
CUT TO:
On her way to the fitting room, the three friends
continue talking.
VICKY
Kung talagang magiging mag-asawa sila
dapat ngayon pa lang matuto na siyang mag-
adjust. Hindi uubra yung luho ng babaeng
‘yan.
ROSE
Madaling sabihin ‘yan, sis. Pero hindi mo
alam ang sinasabi mo.

There is a moment of silence.
ROSE
Ano ba ang plano mo?
ROCK
(Abruptly.) Susunduin daw po tayo ni

n’ya yung van nila. Pakargahan na lang
daw natin ng gasolina.
ROSE
Hindi ‘yun. Ano ba ang plano mo sa buhay
mo?
Rock sits at the edge of his bed.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Bukas kapag hiningi natin ang kamay ni

akong magpakasal?

namang wala tayong pera. Alam ko yun ang
pinoproblema mo.
Pol passes by and overhears the conversation and barges
in.
ROSE
Hoy! Isa lang ‘yun sa mga pinoproblema
ko. Paano pag-aaral mo? Ang pagtatapos
mo? ‘Yung plano mong mag-abroad? Mas
malaki kong problema ang kinabukasan mo.
POL
Pera na naman ba ang problema n’yo? O,
eto, nagbayad yung mga estudyante ko
kanina. Sa isang araw, darating yung

Pinalaki mo. (Chops the chicken.)
Pinagaral mo. (Chops the chicken.)
Pinagkatiwalaan mo. (Chops the
chicken.)Para ano? Para makabuntis lang

LILIBETH
Maawa ka naman d’yan sa manok, Rose.
Bigyan mo naman ng konting dignidad yung
chicken pastel ko. Ok na ‘yan.
VICKY
(Replaces the chicken with beef.) Dito mo
kaya ibuhos ang galit mo, o. Para
masimulan ko na ang kaldereta.
ROSE
(Holding back her tears.) Hindi naman ako
nagkulang sa kakapangaral d’yan. Alam ko
namang habulin ng babae ‘yang si Rock --
alam n’yo ba grade 5 pa lang may
girlfriend na ‘yan? Hindi ako nagkulang
d’yan. Lagi kong sinasabi mag-ingat, mag-
ingat, mag-ingat. At huwag munang
magseseryoso.
VICKY
kung makaarte ka naman parang si Rock
ang kauna-unahang kaso ng teenage
marriage sa Pilipinas. (Replaces the beef
with pork.) Ito pang adobo - i-slice mo
into cubes. Nandyan na ‘yan. Wala na
tayong magagawa. Ano’ng gusto mo?
Takbuhan ni Rock ang responsibilidad
n’ya? Retired general ‘kamo ang lolo ni
Tracy, di ba? Ikaw rin.
LILIBETH
Diyos ko baka pati kami madamay.
ROSE
Wala akong pakialam kahit presidente pa
ng buong mundo ang mga magulang ni Tracy,
ang point ko -- (Starts to cry.) Ang
point ko lang -- (Breaks down.) Ang point
ko lang naman --(Sticks the knife into
the chopping board.) Bata-bata pa siya.
Vicky and Lilibeth console her.
VICKY
Tama na. Iiyak ka na naman. Ang mood
swings mo kasing unpredictable ng
weather. Ganyan talaga ang mga bata,
mapupusok. Parang hindi ka dumaan sa
pagkabata.
LILIBETH
Pasaway din naman tayo nun lalo na nung
bubuntot buntot tayo sa banda nila POl,

LILIBETH (CONT'D)

lahat yata ng nasa banda kinalantari nito
- ‘yung drummer, ‘yung bahista pati na
yung mga nagma-maracas hindi pinatawad.
VICKY
Wow hiyang-hiya naman ako sa kalinisan
mo. Palibhasa nung araw ang type mo mga
hiphop. Naku ‘wag kang mag deny -- naging
jowa mo yung si Jorghee with an H.
LILIBETH
Jorghee with an H?
VICKY
Nakalimutan mo na? ‘Yung namatay sa dance
showdown. Nag headspin, nabalian ng leeg.
LILIBETH
Ay, oo, si Jorghee with an H. Cute ‘yun.
Parang si MC Hammer kung mag bihis?
Sumalangit nawa.
Rosie giggles. Her sobbing starts to subside.
VICKY
Lilibeth with an H, ikuha mo nga ng tubig
itong si Rosie with an R.
Rosie starts to laugh.
Lilibeth starts to sing.

Ganun lang talaga ‘yun. Lagi lang mainit
ang ulo.
TRACY
E, yung dad mo?
ROCK
Ayos lang siya. Cool naman ‘yun, e. Kayo?
Kumusta mommy mo? Kinakausap ka na ba?
TRACY
Kinakausap naman pero monosyllabic lang
ang conversation namin. Yes, mom. No,
mom. Eat, Trace. Sleep, Trace. Parang
shocked pa rin siya. Nakaka-bother nga,
e.
ROCK
(Out of the blue.) I miss you, Trace.
TRACY
Bola.
ROCK
Miss na kita.
TRACY
Ano’ng bola na naman ‘yan?
ROCK
Totoo.
TRACY
Ewan! Matulog na nga tayo. And don’t
forget to pray.
Rock starts to sing very softly -- it is raw as a

whisper.
ROCK

Tracy joins in singing on the other end of the line.
ROCK AND TRACY
WALA NG IBA PANG MAS MAHALAGA

SA TAMIS NA DULOT NG PAG-IBIG
NATING DAL’WA…
AT SANA NAMAN MAKIKINIG KA
KAPAG AKING SASABIHIN
MINAMAHAL KITA…AAAH
Tracy giggles.
TRACY
Baduy mo, ah. Sleep na kami ni Buboy, my
love. See you tomorrow.
ROCK
Mabuti pa si Bubuy katabi mo matulog.
TRACY
Pati ba si Bubuy pagselosan ba?
Tracy gives the phone to Buboy, the chihuahua.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Say goodnight, Bubuy!
The dog barks. Tracy takes the phone back.
They say goodnight to each other.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Tulog ka na. Maaga ka pa bukas. Good
night.
ROCK
Good night. Love you.
TRACY
Love you, too.
They put down their phones. They close their eyes.
27 INT. FUENTEBELLA HOUSE/TRACY’S ROOM. NIGHT.
Tracy is too nervous too sleep.
Elaine knocks on her door and lets her self in. She
24.
checks if her daughter is asleep.
TRACY
I’m awake, mom. Bakit po?
Elaine is quiet.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Mom?
ELAINE
Tracy, anak, napagisip isip ko -- you
don’t have to do this. (Pauses.) Hindi mo
kailangang magpakasal.
Tracy gets up and sits on her bed.
ELAINE (CONT’D)
I mean, I don’t want you to commit the
same mistake as I did. Na-in love,
nabuntis nang maaga, nagpakasal.
TRACY
So Dad is a mistake, ganun ba?
ELAINE
That’s beside the point. You’re only
nineteen. You have a whole lifetime ahead
of you. Hindi mo kailangan gawin ito kung
napipilitan ka lang, kung feeling mo
naiipit ka o natatakot ka sa lolo mo o sa
daddy mo. And if you’re embarrassed, sa
States ka manganak -- sasamahan kita. I
don’t want you to feel trapped.
TRACY
‘Yun ba ang pakiramdam mo?
ELAINE
You have a choice, Trace. ‘Wag mo akong
tularan.
TRACY
Mom, iba si Dad at iba rin si Rock.
ELAINE
Then wait! You don’t have to get married
now. Kung talagang kayo, e di kayo.
(Pauses.) Ang dami nating kilalang
nalagay sa parehong sitwasyon at
nagpakasal -- nasaan na sila ngayon?
25.
TRACY
Mom, we won’t end up like you and dad.
Promise. Ok?
ELAINE
Sinasabi mo lang ‘yan ngayon. Ano ba ang
alam mo. Marriage is not a joke, Tracy.
Siguro ngayon masaya kayo but how long
have you really known each other. Gaano
n’yo na ba kakilala ang isa’t isa.
TRACY
Mom, ginugulo mo lang ang isipan ko.
ELAINE
Dahil ayokong masaktan ka. I don’t want
you to suffer and in the future I don;t
want to end up saying I told you so.
Listen to me!
TRACY
I’m listening!
Tracy has a worried look on her face.
Elaine starts to sing a capella at first.
Tuyo Na'ng Damdamin
ELAINE

The instrumentation comes in swelling.
28 INT. FUENTEBELLA HOUSE/HALLWAY/NICKS’ OFFICE. NIGHT.
Elaine leaves Tracy’s room.
She walks down the hallway, to Nick’s office. She sees
her huspand still working late at night -- talking to
clients abroad.
ELAINE
MINSAN DI MO NA MAPIGIL MAPANSIN
NA TALAGANG WALA NANG NAIIWAN NA
PAGMAMAHAL
Elaine goes inside Nick’s office. Nick is oblivious of

26.
Elaine. As she sings, she hugs him from behind, kisses
him on the cheeks and on the lips, caresses his face but
Nick continues to just talk on the phone and mind his
laptop.
ELAINE (CONT’D)

Instrumental underscores the couple’s cold conversation.
ELAINE (CONT’D)
Bukas na mamanhikan ang partido ni Rock.
I just thought you should know.
NICK
I know. It’s in my planner.
ELAINE
Nick, baka naman pwede pa nating i-urong
ang kasal ng bata?
NICK
We’ve talked about that several times.
Babae ang sa atin, Elaine. Tayo ang
argabyado kung walang kasal.
ELAINE
But they’re too young.
NICK
I’m waiting for a call from LA. Sorry but
I can’t do this now. I’m sleepy and I’m
tired. Bakit hindi ka pa matulog? Susunod
na ko.
Nick’s phone rings and he takes the call. Elaine walks
away and leaves the room.
29 INT. FUENTEBELLA HOUSE/BATHROOM. NIGHT.
Elaine lights a candle in her bathroom.

ELAINE
PARANG ‘SANG KANDILA NA NAGDADALA

Elaine soaks in herself in a bath tub. Candles lit the

She goes to her room and finds her husband sleeping

As her song ends, she turns off the bedside lamp and
turns away from her husband.
31 EXT/INT. POLOTAN HOUSE. DAY.
Brent’s van arrives in front of the Polotan residence.
Brent gets off the van. His face is full of sadness and
defeat. He’s wearing a black long sleeves shirt. He takes
deep a breath. He puts on a happy face and rings the
Polotan’s door bell.
He is welcomed by Jazz.
JAZZY
Kuya Brent! Good morning!
28.
BRENT
(All smiles.) Good morning, Jazzy. Ganda
naman ng dress mo.
JAZZY
Thank you! Bili ni mommy kahapon. Lahat
kami bago ang suot today.
BRENT
Ready’ng ready na , ha? Gising na ba kuya

JAZZY
Tulog pa yata. (Leading Brent into the
house.) ‘Nay, dito na ang service natin.
Rose who is packing their goes out of the kitchen to
welcome Brent.
ROSE
Ano’ng service? Mahiya ka naman, oy. O,
Brent, almusal ka muna. Kape? Ipagtimpla
kita?
BRENT
Good morning po. Sige po salamat.
ROSE
Ikaw, Brent, ha, baka naman ikaw ang
sumunod? Baka tularan mo yang kaibigan mo
na masamang ehemplo sa lipunan. Pag-aaral
muna. ‘Wag ka muna mag-aasawa!
BRENT
Wala pa ho sa isip ko ang mga bagay na
‘yan.
ROSE
Naku, mamaya mababalitaan ko na lang
nakabuntis ka na rin.
BRENT
Tita naman, ako pa! Hindi mangyayari sa
‘kin yun.
ROSE
‘Yang hitsura mong ‘yan? I wasn’t born

ROSE
Nasa taas.Pakigising mo na nga.
On his way up the stairs, he is met by Vicky and Lilibeth
who have just arrived with their packed dishes.
BRENT
Good morning po, Tita Vicky, Tita
Lilibeth.
VICKY
O, good morning naman. Ikaw daw ang
magmamaneho?
BRENT
Opo.
LILIBETH
E, bakit naman nakaitim ka -- para kang

BRENT
Aakyatin ko lang po si Rock.
LILIBETH
O, siya.
Brent goes up Rock’s room.
32 INT. POLOTAN HOUSE/ROCK’S ROOM. DAY.
Brent quietly goes inside Rock’s room. He finds Rock
still sleeping. Instead of waking him, he quietly sits at
the edge of the bed and lovingly watches his sleeping
friend.
He starts to sing.

During the instrumental part, he starts to dance as the

walls of Rock’s room falls down to reveal a cabaret
showstage.
Rock’s bed is sudddenly hit by a spotlight and starts to
rotate. In hyper real fashion, male dancers in sexy

stylized tuxedos come in for the dance. The men try to
take Brent away from Rock.
INSTRUMENTAL
MAHIRAP HUMANAP NG IBA
OH SAKIT NG ULO MANIWALA KA
The music stops. He snaps out of his fantasy. Rock has
awaken. Brent is speechless.
ROCK
O, bro. Kanina ka pa d’yan?

BRENT
Ngayon lang. (Nonchalant.) Gising ka na
pala.
ROCK
Sandali lang, ha? Maliligo lang ako. Late

BRENT
Hindi, hindi, sige. Ok lang maaga pa.
Rock takes his towel, takes of his shirt and enters the
bathroom.
Brent starts to sing softly.
BRENT (CONT’D)
33 INT./EXT. INSIDE BRENT’S VAN/HIWAY. DAY.
The Polotan family along with Vicky, Lilibeth and Brent
travels through a provincial highway.
The radio plays the tail end of a pop song. It is quickly
followed by a commercial jingle -- another rendition of
Pumapatak ang Ulan.
ANNOUNCER
Ngayong palapit na ang panahon ng tag-
ulan, iwasan ang ubo, lagnat at trangkaso
-- uminom ng Walo-Walo Herbs Capsules.
Complete with Vitamin C. No approved
therapeutic claims.
The song continues and fades out.
RAPRAP
Gawa ng tatay ko ‘yan!
LILIBETH
Alam namin.
VICKY
Bayad na ba ‘yan?
32.
POL
Three years ago pa yang commercial na
‘yan. Renewal na lang ang nakuha ko
d’yan.
Rose raises her eyebrows and sighs and changes the topic.
ROSE
Malayo pa ba tayo? Rock, hindi mo naman
sinabi na napakaliblib pala ng bahay
nitong sina Tracy.
JAZZY
Kuya, baka naman nawawala na tayo.
Rock is holding a map and co-pilots the trip with Brent.
ROCK
‘Nay, relaks, okay? Hindi tayo nawawala.
Sinusundan namin itong mapa. Ano ba kayo?
LILIBETH
Ihing-ihi na ko. Kanina pa.
VICKY
Dyan ka na lang sa bukid, o. Wala namang
tao.
LILIBETH
Ayoko nga baka suwagin pa ako ng kalabaw.
VICKY
Eh di okay! At least may susuwag sa yo!
They laugh as they travel through the long rustic hi way.
34 INT. BALCONY/FUENTEBELLA’S HOUSE. DAY.
Tracy and her brothers eagerly await the arrival of the
Polotan’s.
AUSTIN
Inindyan ka na, Ate.
BLAKE
Baka hindi na darating ‘yun!
TRACY
Shut up.
33.
AUSTIN
Paano ‘yan? Pag hindi sila dumating.
You’ll be an unwed mother soon!
Nakakahiya, ate. Kung sabagay
pagkapanganak mo, pwede mo naman sabihin
sa ibang tao na kunwari kapatid mo yung
baby mo. Kapatid natin kunwari. And it
will be our little but really dark family
secret.
TRACY
What?!
AUSTIN
Parang sa TV - yung pinapanood nila yaya.
Ang stupid ‘no?
BLAKE
Ate, bad trip ka naman, ang bata ko pa
para maging tito!
AUSTIN
Bad trip talaga ‘yun. Imagine, hindi ka
pa tuli, uncle ka na!
TRACY
Will you please stop it!
AUSTIN
Bakit totoo naman supot pa ‘yang si
Blake. Supot!
Blake gets pikon and hugs his ate.
BLAKE
Ate, supot daw ako.
TRACY
Stop it na, Austin, ha? Tigilan mo na
kakatukso sa kapatid mo! Pumasok nga kayo
sa loob! Go inside now!
The boys go inside the house. Julio steps out and talks
to his granddaughter.
JULIO
They’re almost an hour late. Why don’t we
have lunch first.
TRACY
Parating na sila, Lo. I’ve been texting
them.
34.
NICK
Anong klaseng tao ba mga ‘yan? Hindi
marunong rumespeto sa oras.
Julio goes back to the house. Tracy is left alone in the
balcony, fidgety and tense.
35 EXT. HACIENDA ENTRANCE. DAY.
The van finally reaches the entrance to the Fuentebella
farm. The gate is tall and huge and imposing. They are
welcomed by two guards. Everyone in the van is
intimidated by the grand welcome sign -- even Rose who
refuses to be intimidated by the surroundings.
GUARD 1
Kayo po ba ang pamilya Polotan?
ROCK
Kami nga.
GUARD 1
Ineexpect na po kayo nina General.
ROCK
Saan po ba ‘yun?
GUARD 1
Diretso lang. Sundan n’yo lang yung daan.
Mga kinse minutos pa mula dito.
ROCK
Salamat, bossing, ha.
The van continues to move, following the path lined up
with tall, magnificent mango trees. the farm is huge.
Workers can be seen tending the farm on the side of the
road. They occasionally wave at them.
The family is still astounded.
BRENT
Bro! Bakit hindi mo naman kami inabisuhan
na may sariling Farm Town pala sa totoong
buhay itong sina Tracy?
35.
ROCK
First time ko lang makapunta dito.
LILIBETH
Ang ganda dito, in fairness, ha? Yamanin
na yamanin ang feeling. Ang lakas maka
senyorita ng surroundings.
A long line of cattle being shepherd by a worker welcomes
them.
JAZZY
Parang safari! Rap, tingnan mo, o. Ang
cute!
RAPRAP
Baka pwede tayong mag-uwi n’yan sa bahay.
Alagaan natin!
ROSE
Sa’n n’yo ilalagay ‘yan sa kuwarto n’yo?
Ano’ng palagay n’yo d’yan? Hamster?
VICKY
Society’ng society naman pala dito. Sana
sinabi mo, Rock, nagdala sana ako ng
cowgirl outfit ko.
POL
Anak, parang naka-jackpot ka, ah! Talo mo
pa ang nanalo sa lotto.
ROSE
Ano, Pol? Ano ang sinabi mo? Bakit?
Jackpot din sila sa anak natin. Titulado
na yang anak mo baka nakakalimutan mo.
POL
Wala na akong sinabi.
Rock and Rose look at each other through the rear view
mirror.
36 EXT. DRIVEWAY FUENTEBELLA HOUSE. DAY.
The van arrives at the driveway. They are welcomed by the
whole Fuentebella family. Everybody gets out of the van.
Awkwardness fills the air.

36.
TRACY
(to Rock) Hi.
ROCK
(to Tracy) Hello.
TRACY
(to Rock’s parents) Welcome po. (to her
parents.) Mom, Dad. Parents po ni Rock.
Tita Rose, Tito Nick, parents ko po.
The dads and moms shake hands. Elaine awkwardly kisses
Rose on the cheeks -- European style.
NICK
Welcome to our farm, kumpare, kumadre.
ELAINE
Mare, finally, mabuti naman at nag-meet
na rin tayo.
Rose lets out a smile.
ROSE
Mga kaibigan ko -- si Lilibeth, si Vicky.
Mga ninang sila ng mga bata.
LILIBETH
Ola, chika!
VICKY
Beso beso.
They imitate Elaine’s beso-beso.
ROSE
Mga kapatid ni Rock -- si Jazzy at si
RapRap. Mag hello kayo.
RAPRAP AND JAZZY

Hello po.
ELAINE
Rap, Jazz, Rock -- what can I say it’s a
musical family.
ROCK
Si Brent nga po pala -- kaibigan namin ni
Tracy.
Brent just nods.

37.
ELAINE
The rest of our kids - Austin and Blake.
AUSTIN
Mom, I’m hungry. Aren’t we going to eat
yet? Kanina pa kami naghihintay.
ELAINE
Austin, don’t be rude to our guests. (To
Rose.) Pasensya na, kumadre.
ROSE
Oo nga naman. I’m sure gutom na kayo.
Pasensya na, ha? Nawala kasi kami papunta
rito. Jazzy, ibaba n’yo yung mga pagkain
Dali at maiinitan d’yan sa likod.
ELAINE
Okay na ‘yan, Mare, pumasok na lang kayo
sa loob at ‘yung mga maids na lang ang
pagbibitin mo n’yan. (She claps her
hands. About a dozen maids appear to
bring on the food from the van.) Halika
na, pasok na kayo.
Every one goes inside the house except for Rock and
Tracy.
TRACY
Mom, can I just show Rock around? May
ipapakita lang ako sa kanya.
ELAINE
Sige, pero bilisan n’yo ha? Kakain na.
Gutom na ang lolo n’yo.
TRACY
(To Rock.) Halika, doon tayo.
ROCK
Saan? Ano’ng meron d’un?
TRACY
Basta!
From the balcony, Lolo Julio was sizing up his guests.
37 INT./EXT. HACIENDA CHAPEL. DAY.
The young couple walks towards an old dilapidated chapel.

38.
ROCK
Anu-ano bang tanim n’yo dito?
TRACY
Kung anu-ano lang. But mostly mangoes,
bananas, guapols, ganyan. May ostrich
farm din si lolo banda d’un. Mamaya let’s
go there.
ROCK
Sa’n ba tayo pupunta?
TRACY
Malapit na tayo.
CUT TO:
They reach the facade of the chapel.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Here! This is what I want to show you.
Rock looks at the structure. Tracy leads him inside the
chapel.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Ang gusto ko sana dito tayo ikasal. Dito
rin kinasal sina Mom and Dad -- pati mga
uncles and aunts ko.
ROCK
(Falabbergasted.) May sarili kayong
simbahan?
TRACY
Ano ka ba? It’s really just a small
chapel. Medyo old na pero I will try to
convince lolo to remodel it in time for
our big day. Konting renovations lang
‘yan. (Pauses.) Guess what? It can fit
around 150 guests.
ROCK
150?
TRACY
Yup, small wedding lang ang gusto natin,
di ba?
ROCK
Small na ba ‘yun?
39.
TRACY
Tapos, ‘yung reception dito na rin sa
farm para tipid. Gusto ko sana, hapon
‘yung wedding tapos dinner time ‘yung
reception para mas romantic, di ba? ‘Yung
guests kawawa naman kung gagabihin sila
pwede nating ipa-book na lang natin sa
isang nearby resort.
ROCK
Lahat sila?
TRACY
Tapos, i was just thinking kung ano kaya
ang magandang motiff. I’m torn between
40’s old Hollywood or Filipiniana pero
with a glam rock twist. Ano sa palagay
mo?
ROCK
Akala ko ba ang gusto mo simple lang?
TRACY
Bakit? Ano ba ang concept mo ng simple?
ROCK
Simple? ‘Yung -- mura.
TRACY
Gusto mo ba sa huwes na lang tayo
magpakasal?
ROCK
Hindi naman sa ganun.
TRACY
Tapos, sana we can hold it asap. As in
asap. Kasi, you know naman, hindi naman
flattering na ang laki na ng tiyan ko
tapos naka-wedding gown pa ko.
Pagtatawanan lang tayo ng friends natin.
Gusto ko sana mga 1 month from now -- max
na ‘yun.
ROCK
One month?
TRACY
Oo, bakit? Hindi ka ba excited?
ROCK
Excited. Kaya lang --
40.
TRACY
Kaya lang, ano?
ROCK
Kaya lang --
TRACY
What?
ROCK
Wala akong budget!
TRACY
Well -- Problema ba ‘yun? Hindi na naman
uso ‘yung groom ang nagsho-shoulder ng
lahat ng expenses, ‘no!
ROCK
(Relieved.) Hindi na talaga!
TRACY
Kaya naisip ko -- hati na lang tayo.
ROCK
Hati?
TRACY
Oo, para fair!
ROCK
Trace, pwede bang pag usapan muna natin,
‘to?
TRACY
Kung ayaw mo nang hati, eh di, sagot na
lang ni lolo lahat.
ROCK
‘Yun naman yata ang hindi fair.
TRACY
E, ano’ng gusto mo? Hindi kita
maintindihan. Ayaw mong i-shoulder lahat,
ayaw mong kalahati, ayaw mo ng libre.
Baka naman ayaw mo lang magpakasal!
ROCK
Mamamanhikan ba kami kung hindi ko
gustong magpakasal?
TRACY
Malay ko baka napipilitan ka lang. Baka
nga - napipilitan ka lang. Hindi kita
pinipilit, ‘no!
41.
ROCK
Alam mo, ikaw lang ang nagiisip n’yan!
TRACY
Minsan lang ikinakasal ang tao. Kahit
hindi natin plinano ito gusto ko namang
maging memorable -- kahit paano!
ROCK
Teka! Nag-aaway na naman tayo! Nag-uusap
lang tayo, ah!
TRACY
Ikaw, e. Ang labo mo!
ROCK
Mas malabo ka!
Long silence. Rock cools down and sits beside Tracy near
the altar.
ROCK (CONT’D)
Trace, babe. Sana naman maunawaan mo na
simpleng tao lang ang pakakasalan mo. At
sana naman makita mo na hindi mahalaga
‘yung garbong iniisip mo, ang importante
tayong dalawa. (Pauses and touches
Tracy’s tummy.) Tayong tatlo. (In tune,
softly. As a whisper.) At sana nama’y
makikinig ka, kung aking sasabihing
minamahal kita.
Panalangin
ROCK (CONT’D)

MAHAL KO IYONG DINGGIN
Tracy cools down. She is touched as Rock professes his
love.

WALA NG IBA PANG MAS MAHALAGA

AT SANA NAMAN MAKIKINIG KA
KAPAG AKING SASABIHIN
MINAMAHAL KITA…AAAH
42.
The song becomes a duet.
ROCK AND TRACY

(REPEAT I & II 2X)
As the song reaches the climax. The wedding in Tracy’s
mind materializes in chapel. Her dream wedding is
realized as they sing the last part of the song. It is
the most perfect wedding. Everyone (family and guests)
are all happy for the couple. The fantasy ends with the
newlyweds exiting the chapel as the guests and entourage
shower them with red rose petals. The seal the daydream
with a kiss.
ROCK AND TRACY (CONT’D)

REPEAT III 3X
38 INT. FUENTEBELLA HOUSE/DINING AREA. DAY.
Lunch time. It is awfully quiet. All we hear is the
clanking of the silverware and plates. Julio is seated at
the kabisera of the long table. Formal politeness is
observed throughout.
NICK
Ang gusto sana namin, mare, pare, dito na
lang gawin ang kasalan. Kung okay lang sa
inyo.
POL
(Unsure.) Okay lang naman.
NICK
At sana sa lalong madaling panahon.
43.
POL
Pwede naman ‘yun.
JULIO
(To Pol.) Isa ka raw composer?
POL
Opo.
JULIO
Meron ka bang kanta na baka alam ko?
POL
(A bit embarrassed.) Siguro po.
RAPRAP
(Proud.) Si tatay po ang nag compose ng
Pumapatak ang Ulan. ‘Yung -- (Starts to
sing.) pumapatak na naman ang ulan sa
bubong ng bahay...
Austin and Blake look and whisper at each other.
AUSTIN
Baduy naman.
POL
(To Raprap.) O, tama na. Wag mo nang
tapusin at baka nga umulan pa.
TRACY
Madalas po ‘yun patutugin sa radio atsaka
sa TV, Lo.
JULIO
Yes, I’ve heard that song. (Pauses.) Ano
pa? Ano pa ang kinompose mo’ng kanta?
Silence.
POL
‘Yun pa lang po.
TRACY
It’s a very popular song, Lo.
JULIO
Of course, it is.
Julio breaks the silence with the clapping of his hands.
JULIO (CONT’D)
Kanin pa nga, Inday.
44.
The maid passes the on the rice to the patriarch.
As he is served hot steaming rice. He looks sternly at
Rock.
JULIO (CONT’D)
Hijo.
ROCK
Po?
Julio blows on the hot rice on his spoon.
JULIO
May kasabihan tayo na ang pag-aasawa ay
di biro, hindi parang kaning iluluwa
kapag napaso.
He then proceeds to eat.
ROCK
Alam ko naman po ‘yun. (He is served
nilaga by one of the maids.) Pero
naniniwala rin po ako na pag may tiyaga,
may nilaga.
Julio squeezes calamansi on his patis.
JULIO
Pero baka nakakalimutan mo na kapag mura
ang dayap, pigain may walang katas.
ROCK
Po?
Silence broken by Vicky.
VICKY
Ang ibig n’yang sabihin, Rock, kung hindi
uukol hindi bubukol.
JULIO
Ang gusto kong sabihin -- ang bungang
hinog sa sanga matamis ang lasa. Ang
bungang hinog sa pilit kung kainin ay
mapait!
Everybody looks at Julio and Vicky as they argue in their
own “language”.
45.
VICKY
Pero, sir, in fairness, ang umaayaw ay di
nagwawagi, ang nagwawagi ay di umaayaw!
JULIO
Pero ang lumalakad nang mabagal, kung
matinik ay mababaw. Ang lumalakad nang
matulin, kung matinik ay malalim.
VICKY
Excuse me! Pero pagkahaba haba man daw po
ng prusisyon, sa simabahan din ang tuloy!
JULIO
Ang batang puso madaling marahuyo!
VICKY
Well, ang pili nang pili, nauuwi sa
bungi!
JULIO
Tandaan mo! Laging nasa huli ang pagsisi!
LILIBETH
Stop it! (Pauses.) Marunong din ako
n’yan!
Lilibeth starts to sing. In the instrumental part of the
next song (i.e. LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-

After the song, they go back to their respective seats,
continue eating as if nothing happened.
Julio breaks the silence and drops the bomb.
JULIO
To make the long story short, hindi ako
ayon sa kasal.
NICK
Dad?

TRACY
Lolo naman!
Different reactions come from the rest of the group.
NICK
Dad, hindi pwedeng basta ganun na lang
‘yun -- babae ‘yung sa atin. Argabyado
naman tayo.
POL
Pare, wala naman kaming inaargabyado.
ELAINE
I agree with Dad. Hindi rin ako
kumportabble na ipakasal ang dalawang
bata.
TRACY
Mom, you don’t know what you’re saying.
NICK
Patricia! Don’t talk to your mother that
way!
JULIO
Ikaw, akala ko matalino ka, ‘yun pala
isang kalabit lang sa ‘yo, magpapabuntis
ka na.
ROCK
Sandali lang po --
JULIO
At ikaw, pakakasalan mo ang apo ko? Ni
wala ka pang matinong trabaho!
ROSE
Teka, ‘wag ninyo naman kaming maliitin.
Kahit ganito lang kami, iginapang namin
sa pagtatapos ‘yang si Rock. Pasado na
siya ng board. At kung kilala ko ang anak
ko, sigurado kaming hindi niya pababayaan
ang apo ninyo.
POL
Pagtutulungan naming lahat na buhayin
silang dalawa.Silang tatlo.
JULIO
Ikaw? Mr. one hit wonder composer? Ano’ng
ipapalamon mo sa apo ko? Nota?

ROSE
Teka, masakit na kayo magsalita, ah.
Hinahamak n’yo na kami n’yan. Hindi namin
pinagpipilitan ang anak namin sa apo
n’yo. Kung ayaw n’yo huwag!
JULIO
Talagang huwag! Kaya na namin ‘to. We’ll
take it from here.
POL
Rose! Rock! Mga bata! Halina kayo! Umalis
na tayo rito at mga matapobre pala ang
mga nakatira dito.
ROCK
‘Tay, sandali --
POL
Ano’ng sandali, sandali? Halika na!
They walk out of the dining room.
LILIBETH
Teka, ‘yung mga Tupperware, iiwan natin?
Sayang naman!
The Polotans storm out of the room.
TRACY
Rock, ‘wag mong sabihin sasama ka sa
kanila?
ROCK
Ha? Alangan namang mag paiwan ako rito.
TRACY
Aalis ka?
ROCKY
Ano’ng gusto mong gawin ko?
TRACY
IIWAN MO KO?
ROCKY
Halika! Sumama ka sa ‘kin!

Dito ka lang.

Rock! Halika na!

TRACY

Nandito ka na sa banig, lilipat ka pa sa

TRACY
What? What are you talking about?
JULIO
‘Yan ba ang klase ng mga tao ang ipapasok
mo sa pamilyang ito. Hindi mo kilala ang
mga ‘yan. Hija, ‘wag kang tanga, kung
nasaan ang asukal, naruon ang langgam.
Pol hears Julio last statement and gets really insulted.
He turns back and confronts the old man.
POL
Anak ng --. Hoy, tanda! Naintindihan ko
‘yun, ah.
JULIO
Bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan wag
magalit!
Pol lunges at the old man but Nick gets in the way. Pol
punches Nick. Nick punches back. Pol kicks Nick. Julio
gets up and hits Pol. Rock tries to stop the fight but
gets hit by Julio. Jazzy and Raprap try to stop the
fight. Austin and Blake defend their grandfather and
ends up fighting with the other kids. Elaine and Rose
can’t stop screaming, trying to stop the fight. Lilibeth
approaches one of the maids as the fight ensues.
LILIBETH
Inday, hugasan mo na agad ‘yung mga
Tupperware para maiuwi na namin, ha?

MAID
Opo, ma’am.
The mad scramble continues.
CUT TO:

The van travels back to Manila.
Inside the van, everybody is distraught. Some of them
sport some brand new bruises and scars -- most especially
Pol. The kids’ clothes are are also torn from the
fighting.
Everybody is speechless.
ROSE
Tama ba na makipag-wrestling kayo kanina?
Tingnan n’yo mga hitsura n’yo.
POL
Tayo na nga hinihiya kanina. Ano’ng gusto
mo lunukin ko na lang lahat ng sinabi
nila?
ROSE
Pol, matanda ‘yun! Malamang ulyanin na
‘yun. Bakit mo naman pinatulan? Sa harap
pa ng mga bata. Nakakahiya!
POL
Nakakahiya na kung nakakahiya. Lagi ka
namang ganyan -- lagi mo na lang akong
kinahihiya.
ROSE
Hindi ‘yun ang point ko.
POL
OO, sige na, ikaw na ang tama. Dapat ang
ginawa ko tinaggap ko na lang na lait
laitin nila ang pamilya ko at pati ang
pagkatao ko. Okay na?
ROSE
Ewan! Ang hirap mong kausap!
The radio plays Pumapatak ang Ulan again.

51.
POL
(Serious.) Patayin n’yo nga ‘yan.
Brent immediately turns off the radio.
It starts to drizzle.
Brent drives faster through the highway.
The dining area and other parts of the house is a mess.
The maids are busy cleaning the mess made by the fight.
Elaine supervises them. Nick arrives from Julio’s
bedroom.
ELAINE
Kumusta na si Dad?
NICK
He’s ok. kalmado na. (Pauses.) Are you
happy now? You got what you wanted?
ELAINE
Wala kong balak na paghiwalayin ang mga
bata. Ang gusto ko lang maghintay sila.
Kayo naman, dinaan n’yo agad sa init ng
ulo.
NICK
Maghintay ng ano? Na lumobo ang t’yan ng
anak mo?
ELAINE
Ano ba’ng kinahihiya mo? Pareho lang
naman kami ni Tracy, ah? Ano’ng gusto mo
tumulad siya sa ‘kin? Nagpakasal dahil
nabuntis lang.
NICK
After all these years, don’t tell me,
ngayon ka pa nagsisisi?
ELAINE
Nick, this is not about me, this about
our daughter.
NICK
Ok! So, what about your daughter? What
are you going to do about your daughter?
52.
ELAINE
Aalis na muna kami. Sa States na lang
siya -- hanggang manganak.
NICK
Bahala ka.
Nick bolts out. The rain starts to pour.

their mother good night.
ROSE
Tulog na, ha? May pasok pa bukas.
RAPRAP
Good night, ‘Nay.
JAZZY

ROSE
Love you, too. Sweet dreams.
Rose turns off the lights and leaves the room. She heads
for Rock’s room.
Rock is dialing Tracy’s number but can not get through.
He does this a number of times, desperately. He hears a
knock on his door. He turns away and covers his head with
a pillow.
Rose sees Rock on his bed -- his face covered with a
pillow. She sits on the bed beside him.

53.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Rock? Rock, anak? Gusto mo ng kausap?
Rock doesn’t answer.
Rose closes the bedroom window, puts a blanket on her son
and turns off the lights.
Rock is awake all this time. He sits up and looks outside
the window.
He starts to sing.

47 INT./EXT. POLOTAN HOUSE. DAY.
An FB van arrives in front of the house. Rose gets out of
the van. She says goodbye to her kumares who are inside
with the used catering utilities.
ROSE
O, sa isang araw, ha? Anniversary nina
Mrs. Villanueva. Vicky, ikaw na kumausap

The van leaves. She goes inside to find Pol teaching
students guitar lessons.

56.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Hi!
POL
(Attempting to help his wife with her
bags and what nots.) Tulungan na kita.
ROSE
Hindi na. Kaya ko na ‘to.
She finds Jazzy and Raprap in the living room. Jazzy is
doing her homework while Raprap is doodling on some
scratch paper. They greet and kiss their mother.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Ang kuya n’yo lumabas na ba ng kuwarto?
JAZZY
May kuya pa ba kami?
RAPRAP
Nakalimutan ko na nga hitsura ni kuya.
ROSE
Hindi na naman kumain?
RAPRAP
Hindi po.
She goes upstairs and knocks on his son’s door.
ROSE
Rock! Rock, ano ba? Buksan mo nga itong
pinto! (She bangs on the door.) Rock!
Rock opens the door. Rose is disgusted by the smell of
the room and of his son. The room is in a state of
squalor. Rock is totally depressed -- unshaven , dirty
and stinky.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Ano? Ibuburo mo na lang ba ang sarili mo
dito? Tatlong araw ka na dito! Hindi na
kuwarto ‘to! Bartolina na ‘to! Hindi ka
kumakain, hindi ka naliligo! Kung hindi

Walang namamatay sa kabahuan. Sa lungkot,

Sige. Maglungkot-lungkotan ka! Tuloy ang
ikot ng mundo, Rock. Hindi pwedeng
ganyan. Tuloy ang buhay. Ano pa ang hindi

Finally, Nick knocks on the door.
NICK
Tracy.
Nobody answers. He turns the door knob and opens the

door. He finds a little girl, a young Tracy in the
bedroom -- playing with dolls, dollhouses and other toys.
The little girl is oblivious to Nick’s presence. Nick
goes inside Tracy’s room.
Nick starts to sing.

The crowd clears and everyone goes about their own

Tracy sees him. The girls walk faster. Rock runs after
them.

Tracy, sandali! ‘Wag mo naman ako iwasan.

ROCK
Mag-usap lang tayo. (Pauses.) Tayong

TRACY
Sige, girls, mauna na kayo.

Will you be okay?
Tracy nods. The couple is left alone. They walk as they
talk.

ROCK
Tinatawagan kita - hindi ka naman ma-

ma-contact ka -- e-mail, FB, Twitter --
lahat! Ano ba ang nangyayari sa ‘yo.
TRACY
Ewan!
ROCK
Ano’ng ewan?
TRACY
Iniwan mo ko. You just stood there, took
some punches and left!
ROCK
Ano ba dapat ang ginawa ko?
TRACY
Dapat pinaglaban mo ko! Hindi mo ginawa.
ROCK
Minaliit ng pamilya mo ang pamilya ko.
Pinagmukha nila kaming basura. Hindi
naman tama ‘yun.
TRACY
That day was more about us than them,
remember?
ROCK
Kung kinaladkad ba kita nung time na ‘yun
sasama ka ba? Hindi rin naman, di ba?
Wala ka namang pinag-iba sa kanila.
TRACY
That is so foul. Inu-understimate mo ko,
Rock. Sosyal ako. High maintenance.
Sheltered, ano pa? Sige, say it! I will
not apologize for being this way.
(Puases.) Di ba ang sabi mo, ang gusto mo
makasama ko, makapiling ako, ‘yun ang
pananlangin mo? What happened to that?
Rock is speechless.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Kung wala ka nang sasabihin, tapos na
tayo. Kailangan ko pang kunin ang records
ko. Kakailanganin ko, in case na mag-
decide ako na sa States na mag-aral.
Rock is taken aback.

64.
TRACY (CONT’D)
By the way, doon na rin ako manganganak.
And FYI, wala akong celphone,
kinonfiscate ng mom. Goodbye.
Tracy leaves Rock. Rock out of defeat and confusion, sits
on the floor. From a distance, Brent has been listening
and watching the couple all this time. He approaches Rock
and sits beside him.
Silence.
BRENT
Ano’ng kailangan mo, bro? Pampakalama?
Pampalimot? Pampamanhid?
Rock doesn’t answer. Brent looks at him, consoling.
54 INT. KARAOKE BAR. NIGHT.

Rock looks at his friend intently.
ROCK

Brent. Brent is flustered.)

from Rock’s house.
Rock suddenly pulls away and pukes on the side of the
street from too much drinking. Brent comforts him. In
between vommitting, Rock cries out Tracy’s name.
BRENT
Move on na, bro. Move on na tayo, bro.
Rock continues puking.

Brent pities his friend’s condition. He holds him tight
and finishes the song.
Rock passes out.
BRENT (CONT’D)
(Very softly.) Love you, bro.
He props his friend up and tries to walk him home. Rock
suddenly speaks.
ROCK
Narinig ko ‘yun, bro.
68.
BRENT
(Nervous.) Ha? Alin?
ROCK
‘Yung sinabi mo.
BRENT
Ano? Wala. Wala akong sinasabi.
Lasing ka lang. Lasing. Lasing. Lasing.
They continue walking.
ROCK
Alam ko naman ‘yun, Bro. Pero hindi ako
ganun. Hindi ko masusuklian nang buong
buo ang binibigay mo.
BRENT
(In denial.) Nagdedeliryo ka ba?
Brent is taken aback.
ROCK
Makakahanap ka rin -- ng para sa ‘yo. At
sobrang suwerte ng taong ‘yun. Dahil
napakabait mo.
Brent is touched. His eyes hold back tears.
BRENT
(Now crying.) Baliw!
ROCK
Salamat, Bro. Salamat sa lahat.
BRENT
Lasing ka lang. Uwi na tayo. Malapit na
bahay n’yo.
Rock in all his drunken glory manages to sing.
ROCK
KASAMA MO AKO
AT KASAMA RIN KITA
SA HIRAP AT GINHAWA
AKO’Y KAGABAY MO
AT MAY DALANG PAGASA
Brent joins him for the remaining parts of the song.

The two walk remaining steps to Rock’s house.
56 INT. SHANTY. NIGHT.
Rock’s hallucination.
In his dream, he and Tracy live in a small shanty with
lots of small children. Tracy looks very losyang. Rock
looks like drunken loser.
They are in the middle of a fight.
Huwag Masanay sa Pagmamahal
TRACY
Pinangako mo sa akin ang lahat ngunit ang
pag-uwi lang ng maaga ay hindi mo pa
matupad
ROCK
O, ayan ka na naman sa drama mo
TRACY
Aminin mo na na nagbago ka na. Dati
nilalambing mo ‘ko, kinakarinyo, sinusuyo
ROCK
Eh dati ‘yun.
TRACY

His hallucination is interrupted by the sound of a
whistling kettle.
57 INT. POLOTAN HOUSE. NIGHT.
Shot of a whistling kettle with water bioling inside.
Shot of hot steaming water poured on a small plangana.
Shot of bimpo being squeezed.
Pol and Rose is taking care of their drunken son.
Pol props him up while Rose dabs the hot towel on his
limbs and face.
Pol and Rose start to sing.

Rock is still mumbling Tracy’s name unitelligently.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Bukas na bukas, pag nahimasmasan na itong
panganay mo. Kausapin mo naman. Baka
naman dahil lang sa babaeng ‘yun,
alcoholic lang ang kabagsakan n’yan.
POL
Alcoholic agad? Ikaw naman. Parang hindi
ka dumaan sa pagkabata.
ROSE
Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Ano ba
ang pwede nating gawin?
Rock suddenly jerks up and pukes on the floor.

Mom and Dad turn off the lights and close the door.
From inside the room they hear their son scream Tracy’s
name. They look at each other, sigh and head for the
master’s bed room.
60 INT. FUENTEBELLA HOUSE/TRACY’S ROOM. DAY.
Tracy sadly packs her things. Her pet dog looks on. She
opens her closet and looks at clothes and stuff she could
bring. A few luggage has been packed already. She clears
her desk and finds a framed photograph of her and Rock.
Her mother passes by and sees her daughter looking
lonely, staring at the photograph. Elaine quietly enters
the room and sits beside her daughter.
ELAINE
Trust me on this.We’re doing the right
thing. It’s for your own good.
Tracy starts to cry.
TRACY
Mom, I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I let you
down.
ELAINE
Wala na tayong magagawa nandyan na ‘yan.
73.
TRACY
I broke your trust pati ni dad. I’m
sorry. Pwede bang iparating mo na lang
ako ng sorry sa kanila? Nahihiya ako.
Lalo na kay dad. Alam ko galit na galit
siya sa ‘kin. Alam ko naman, I failed
him.
ELAINE
‘Wag ka nang mag-isip ng ganyan.
TRACY
Hindi niya ako kinakausap. Ni hindi niya
ako matingnan sa mata. Please tell him,
I’m sorry.
ELAINE
Your dad loves you. Whatever happens.
Lagi mong tatandaan ‘yun.
Tracy embraces her mom.
TRACY
We’ll get the best OB for you in LA.
Nagtanong na ako sa Tita Edna mo. Don’t
worry. Aalagaan ka namin d’un, okay?
Tracy nods and embraces her mom even tighter.
61 INT. FUENTEBELLA FARM. DAY.
Crates of fruits are loaded on to a truck. Nick
supervises the loading of the harvests. Elaine approaches
Nick.
NICK
(To one of the farm hands.) Na-deliver na
ba yung pesticides? Wala na tayong
supply.
FARM HAND
Mamaya daw po ang delivery.
TRUCK DRIVER
Sir, aalis na po kami.
Nick gives him some money.
NICK
Eto ang pang-gas n’yo.
74.
TRUCK DRIVER
Sige po, sir. Mauna na kami.
The truck leaves. Nick notices his wife waiting for him.
NICK
O, ano’ng ginagawa mo dito? Ang init-
init.
They go under a tree shade.
ELAINE
We’re leaving tomorrow.
NICK
I know pero hindi ko na kayo maihahatid
bukas sa airport. ‘Yung driver na lang.
ELAINE
Bago kami umalis, sana kausapin mo naman
si Tracy. Kawawa naman ang bata.
NICK
Hindi na bata ‘yun. Kung nakagawa sila ng
bata, hindi na sila bata.
ELAINE
Nick naman. Gusto n’yang mag sorry sa ‘yo
pero sobra siyang takot lumapit. Tortured
na tortured na siya. Iyak siya nang iyak.
Sising sisi na ‘yung bata.
NICK
Ano bang gusto mong sabihin ko sa kanya?
It’s okay? You’re forgiven? That’s my
girl! (Angrier.) Hindi ko maitago ang
galit ko sa kanya. At hindi ko siya
malapitan dahil baka hindi ko mapigilan
ang sarili ko at masaktan ko lang siya.
She’s the biggest disappointment, Elaine.
Hindi lang niya sinira ang tiwala natin,
sinira na rin niya ang buhay n’ya.
ELAINE
Kaya nga mas kailangan ka niya ngayon.
She needs us. She needs her father.
NICK
Ikaw na lang. Ikaw na lang ang kumausap
sa kanya. May aasikasuhin pa ‘ko.
Nick walks away.

75.
ELAINE
Alam mo, Nick, hindi na kita kilala.
Hindi ko alam kung ano’ng nangyari sa
‘yo. (Pauses.) Wala na. Wala na akong
maramdaman.
Nick stops walking for a moment. His cold facade starts
to crumble but hides it.
NICK
Pumasok ka na sa loob. Maiinitan ka lang
d’yan.
ELAINE
Hindi perfect si Tracy dahil hindi rin
naman tayo perpektong mga magulang --
Nick continues to walk away.
ELAINE (CONT’D)
Lalo ka na!
62 INT./EXT. FUENTEBELLA HOUSE/TRACY’S ROOM. NIGHT.
Tracy is trying to get some sleep.
She hears some noise coming from her bedroom window. It
is as if someone is throwing pebbles on the glass pane.
She also faintly hears a voice quietly call her name. She
gets up and opens the window. The moon is almost full.
She is extra bright and huge tonight. She sees Rock
outside, on the lawn. Rock is carrying a bag.
ROCK
Tracy.
TRACY
Ano’ng ginagawa mo d’yan?
ROCK
Halika na! Magtatanan tayo.
TRACY
Tanan?
ROCK
Tanan. Elope in English.
76.
TRACY
Nasisiraan ka na ba talaga ng ulo?
Rock starts to climb the wall.
TRACY (CONT’D)
Baka mahulog ka!
Rock reaches the window sill and sees Tracy has packed
her bags for her US trip. Tracy’s pet dog starts barking.
ROCK
Tamang tama naka empake ka na. Halika na!
TRACY
Paano ka naman naka sigurong sasama ako
sa ‘yo?
ROCK
Bakit ayaw mo ba?
TRACY
Ewan ko.
ROCK
Let’s go!
TRACY
Saan tayo pupunta?
ROCK
Ewan ko rin. Bahala na.
TRACY
Papatayin ako ng parents ko pag sumama
ako sa ‘yo.
ROCK
Ako rin naman, e. Ikaw lang ba? Ito na
lang ang naiisip ko’ng paraan para
makasama kita. Ikaw lang ang mahalaga sa
‘kin, Trace. Wala nang iba. (Pauses.)
Alam ko, marami pa akong dapat gawin,
marami pa akong dapat pagdaanan at
patunayan -- pero na-realize ko lang --
hindi ko kayang magawa lahat ‘yun kung
hindi kita kasama.
TRACY
(Teary eyed but smiling.) Ano’ng bola na
naman ‘yan?
Tracy is speechless.
77.
ROCK
Handa ka bang makipagsapalaran -- kasama
ako?
TRACY
Ew --
Before Tracy can finish her sentence, Rock puts his
fingers on her lips. He starts to sing.
ROCK
Ewan
I.
HINDI KO ALAM KUNG BAKIT KA GANYAN
MAHIRAP KAUSAPIN AT ‘DI PA NAMAMANSIN
DI MO BA ALAM AKO’Y NASASAKTAN
NGUNIT DI BALE NA BASTA’T MALAMAN MO NA
The dog is now quiet - enchanted by Rock’s singing voice.

MAHAL KITA, MAHAL KITA

Tracy starts throwing her bags out the window. Rock
catches them.

Tracy goes out of the window and climbs down. They start
running.
Under the light of the moon, the two lovers run across
the farm grounds. They bring the small dog with them.
They reach the gates of the hacienda.

Do you take Rock Polotan as your lawfully

Tracy looks at Rock. Rock finishes the song.
ROCK
SUMAGOT KA NAMAN, WAG LANG, EWAN
The newlyweds kiss.
FADE OUT.
That same morning.
The whole family is in a huddle. The maids are also
around them. Elaine is distraught. She is busy texting
Tracy’s friends.
ELAINE
Na text ko na lahat ng friends niya.
Hindi nila alam kung nasaan.Saan naman
pupunta ‘yun? Hindi naman ‘yun umaalis ng
walang driver!
Nick holds Elaine’s hand. Nick looks at her. Elaine takes
her hand away from him.
NICK
Hindi ba nagtetext sa inyo ang Ate n’yo?
BLAKE
Hindi po.
ELAINE
My God! Nasaan na ‘yung batang ‘yun?
NICK
Kayo. (To the help.) Sinigurado n’yo bang
naka lock ang mga pintuan kagabi?
MAID
Opo, sir.
A group of soldiers march inside the house. They all

81.
salute Julio. Blake and Austin are excited.
NICK
Dad, ano ‘to?
JULIO
‘Wag nga kayong mga gunggong, obvious ba
na kinidnap ng hayop ng pamilyang ‘yun
ang apo ko! Susugod tayo sa bahay nila!
NICK
Kidnap agad, Dad?
JULIO
Dapat na silang itumba, mga hayup na
‘yun! Ubusan na ng lahi ito! Lintik lang
ang walang ganti!
Suddenly, Elaine gets a text message. They all look at
her.
ELAINE
It’s from Tracy!
NICK
Ano’ng sabi?

ROSE
‘Nay, ‘Tay, kasama ko si Tracy.
Nagpakasal na kami. Sa huwes. Nasa mabuti
kaming kalagayan. Hope you understand.
Mahal talaga namin ang isa’t isa. See you
soon.
Silence.
LILIBETH
O, di ba sabi ko naman sa inyo: pagkahaba-
haba man ng prosisyon, sa simbahan din
ang tuloy.
82.
VICKY
Ano’ng simbahan, sa huwes nga kinasal.
LILIBETH
Ganun na rin ‘yun. Duh.
Rose is quiet.

Magkaka-ate na kami?
VICKY
Ganun na nga ‘yun.
Pol looks worriedly at his wife.
RAPRAP
Dito rin ba siya titira? ‘Tay?

Elaine gets inside the van. It drives off towards the
gate.
71 EXT. FUENTEBELLA FARM. DAY.
The van passes by the old chapel. A herd of cows cross
the road. The van stops -- it can’t pass through. The
drives honks his horn. The cows, instead of moving,
stops. They just stand there.
ELAINE
Businahan mo nga ‘yang mga ‘yan. Baka
hindi ko maubutan ang flight ko.
The cows move very slowly. As the cows clear the road,
Elaine sees a huge truck blocking the road this time.
ELAINE (CONT’D)
Sino ba ‘yang nakaharang na ‘yan!
Businahan mo nga.
The driver blows the horn. The truck doesn’t move. Out of
frustration, Elaine gets out of the van ready to scold
the driver.
Nick, gets out of the truck, and meets Elaine in the
middle of the road.
ELAINE (CONT’D)
Ano ba? Mahuhuli ako sa flight ko!
Nananadya ka ba?
84.
NICK
Oo. Sinasadya ko nga. Hinaharang kita.
Bakit ba kailangan mo pang umalis?
ELAINE
Hindi ba obvious? I need time away from
you, from all of you, most especially
you.
NICK
Hanggang kailan?
ELAINE
Hanggang matapos lang ang school year
dahil susunduin ko na ang mga bata para
makasama ko sila. Padaanin mo na ko kundi
babanggain ko ‘yan.
Elaine walks back to the van.
NICK
Teka, wala ba akong goodbye kiss?
Elaine turns back to Nick, really irritated.
NICK (CONT’D)
Hindi ako aalis dito hanggang walang
kiss. Isa lang.
Elaine attempts to kiss her husband. Just as she is about
to kiss him, Nick pouts his lips making a funny face.
Elaine is thrown off and tries to pocket a smile.
Nick starts to sing.

72 INT. LAMAY. NIGHT.
Inside the house of one of the Polotan’s rich neighbors,
a wake is being held. Prayers for their dearly departed
are recited. In one corner of the house, Lilibeth, Vicky
and Rose are preparing the catering set-up.
The three friends are hard at work. Rose is especially

The three friends are inside the van. They look so
exhausted from the day’s work.

Rose has gotten off in front of the house. The FB van

leaves. She goes inside the house.
The moon is full tonight.
74 INT. POLOTAN HOUSE/ROSE AND POL’S ROOM. NIGHT.
Rose enters the house. She puts down all her stuff. She
checks on her kids who are now asleep. She enters the
master’s bedroom. She finds Pol asleep on his side of the
bed. On her side of the bed, she finds a simple single
rose with a note attached to it. She takes the rose and
reads it: Sa nag-iisa kong inspirasyon. Smile naman
d’yan. Love, P.
Rose is genuinely touched. Pol wakes up.
POL
Kanina ka pa?
ROSE
Kararating lang.
POL
Kumusta ang patay?
87.
ROSE
Ayun, patay pa rin. (She smiles.) Thank
you sa flower.
POL
Ayan nag-smile ka na. (He sits on the bed
and puts his arms around her.) Sana mula
ngayon, tama na muna ang simangot. Sige
ka, tatanda ka.
ROSE
‘Yung anak mo kasi padalus-dalos.
POL
‘Wag mo na alalahanin si Rock. Tatay na
‘yun. Kung iisipin mo nga halos kaedad na
natin siya nung dumating siya sa ‘tin.
Isipin mo na lang, may darating tayong
bagong blessing.
ROSE
Ginawa n’ya tayong lolo’t lola.
POL
Okay lang ‘yun. Basta para sa ‘kin, ikaw
ang pinakamaganda, pinaka-sexy at
pinakamamahal kong lola sa buong mundo.
ROSE
Bola na naman ‘yan.
POL
Totoo.
Pol starts kissing his wife’s neck, shoulders and the
back of her ears.
POL (CONT’D)
Ang bangu bangu ng misis ko.
ROSE
Pol! Ano ka ba? Galing ako sa lamay.
POL
Kaya pala - amoy bulaklak ka, ng patay.
ROSE
Pol!
Rose breaks away. Pol grabs her again.

88.
POL
O, bakit? Miss na kita. Hindi mo ba ako
na-miss?
Rose starts to sing Di Na Natuto. Pol also sings as her

“adlibing” jazzy horned up back up.
All this time, Rose finds Pol’s romantic advances
so hard to resist.
ROSE AND POL

rejoicefully dance around as they sing out the baby’s
name through Pol’s new hit composition entitled “Anna”.
ALL
Anna
I LONG TO TELL YOU
HOW MUCH I NEED YOU
IF I CAN FIND THE WORDS TO SAY
I NEVER HAVE TO FEEL THIS WAY
NOT KNOWING JUST WHAT TO DO WHEN I’M WITH
YOU
MY FRIENDS THEY TELL ME
THAT I SHOULDN’T HURRY
EVERYTHING KEEPS GOIN’ STRONG
‘COZ YOU KEEP IT GOING ON
THOUGH I HAVE TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

ALL (CONT'D)
CHORUS:
(OH) ANNA CAN’T YOU TELL AND SEE
WHAT YOU’RE DOING TO ME
OH ANNA THIS FEELING I JUST CAN’T HIDE
KEEPS DRIVING ME WILD
OH ANNA I NEED YOU HERE WITH ME
I WISH YOU COULD BE
OH ANNA WON’T YOU STAY WITH ME
YOUR EYES, THEY LOOK THROUGH ME
YOUR SMILE THEY FOOLS ME
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LOVE AGAIN
BUT THIS TIME I HOPE IT NEVER ENDS
I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW
I LOVE YOU
(REPEAT CHORUS 2X)
INSTRUMENTAL
OH…ANNA
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)

Doobidoo
KAPAG NAG-IISA’T KASAMA ANG GITARA

BASTA’T DUMARATING ANG KANTA
AWITING MAAARI RING KUNG MAY KASAMA
TAMBOL MO AY BUTAS NA LATA
SABAYAN NG SIPOL ANG BAWAT PASADA

HUMINGA KA NG MALALIM AT SABAY ANG BUGA
KAPAG BUO NA’T HANDA ANG LAHAT
SABAY-SABAY ANG PASOK SA BAGSAK NG PAA
(MORE)
92.
ALL (CONT'D)
MAHIRAP GUMAWA NG KANTANG MAKATA

ANG UNA NA’Y TUGTUGIN AT PANANALITA AT
KAPUNA-PUNA NA PARANG DAMBUHALA
MGA BOSES NA NAGPAPABABA
AT MAYROON DIN NAMANG NAGPAPA BOSES BATA
MATATAAS ANG TONO HININGA’Y MAHABA
BINUBULONG SA HANGIN ANG BAWAT SALITA
KAPAG NARIRINIG MO AY NAKAKATUWA
HINDI NAMAN KAILANGAN BOSES MO’Y MAGANDA

BASTA’T MAY KONTING TONO MADALING MAKANTA
KUNG MEDYO SINTUNADO AY HAYAAN MO NA
ANG NAIS LANG NG TAO AY ANG KONTING SAYA
IHANDA ANG TROPA AT TAMBOL NA LATA
KASKASIN MO NG MABUTI ANG DALANG GITARA
KAPAG BUO NA’T HANDA NA ANG LAHAT
HUMINGA KA NG MALALIM AT NARITO NA
The End

1 EXT. MANILA SCENES. DAY.

A montage of the sights and sounds of Manila on an

ordinary afternoon. The montage shows places and people

in landmarks that define this city: the Quiapo church,

the LRT, Luneta, Quezon bridge, Roxas boulevard, etc. The

hectic sounds of the city slowly blend into the opening

chords of Pumapatak ang Ulan.

As the intro of the song becomes gradually recognizable,

we zero in on a traffic infested highway, to a line of

vehicles lined up bumper to bumper, to a taxi cab trapped

in the middle of a traffic jam, to the radio in the taxi

cab that plays the song.

2 INT. INSDIE THE TAXI CAB. DAY.

ROSE, LILIBETH and VICKY are inside the cab.They just

came from the market. Pumapatak ang Ulan continues to

play on the old car radio as they talk.

Rose has a permanent frown on her face -- preoccupied,

worried, impatient. Lilibeth and Vicky try their best to

brighten up her mood. Inside the cab are their shopping

bags full of cooking ingredients.

The driver turns up the radio to drown Rose’s nagging.

Just in time the song ends with a radio commercial voice-

The jingle fades out: pumapatak na naman ang

ulan...pumapatak na naman ang ulan...

The radio resumes its regular programming.

3 EXT/INT. POLOTAN HOUSE. DAY.

A small sign at the gate reads: POLOTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC

AND CATERTING SERVICES.

POL is seen holding guitar lessons to his five young

students - no older than 16. RAPRAP, their 6 year old

son, is Pol’s “assistant”.

Pol looks and listens intently as the beginner students

play their guitar. He holds a bottle of beer and drinks

while teaching every now and then. They are also

practicing the chords of Pumapatak ang Ulan.

He listens and watches.

He listens and watches.

One student suddenly gets up and sighs out of

frustration. The other students stop too.

Pol gets his guitar and starts to play and sing.

The kids start playing improvised intruments found in the
