SCENARIO 1 “COMPLIMENT”
SCENE 1 – ESCALATOR
(Mall, busy crowd. Escalator: SHEKINAH with ALTHEA pababa. CYRIL with RUDOLF
paakyat. Soft background mall music. They spot each other.)
CAMERA: Wide shot (slowly zooms on Girl and Guy locking eyes)
CYRIL (half-smile, trying to act cool pero halatang kinikilig)
RUDOLF (kay CYRIL) (nudges him): Uy bro, kanina ka pa nakatitig dun sa girl ah.
CYRIL (shrugs, pero smirks): Eh ano naman… ang ganda niya eh.
(Cut to Girl’s side, giggles with friend.)
ALTHEA (kay SHEKINAH) (teasing tone): Uy, nakita mo yun? Nakatingin siya sayo!
SHEKINAH (blushing, tries to brush off): Stop it, baka nagkataon lang.
(Both look back at each other bago bumaba/umakyat ang escalator.)
SCENE 2 – NATIONAL BOOKSTORE
(Mall, National Bookstore. SHEKINAH AND ALTHEA are browsing pens and rulers. CYRIL
with his friend RUDOLF nasa kabilang aisle looking at books. Nagkasalubong sila sa
stationary section. Both groups pretend to browse pero halatang nagkakatinginan.)
CAMERA: Over-the-shelf shot (CYRIL peeking sa pagitan ng mga books,
SHEKINAH catches him.)
RUDOLF (kay CYRIL, whispering habang kunwari nagbabasa ng back cover ng
libro): Uy bro… chance mo na ‘to. Sabihin mo na, bago mawala yung girl.
CYRIL (holding a random notebook, trying to act casual pero kinakabahan): Chill lang…
kailangan perfect timing.
(Cut to SHEKINA’s side. She’s pretending to check pens pero napansin niya si CYRIL na
parang gustong magsalita. Nag-smile siya ng konti, parang inaabangan kung lalapit.)
ALTHEA (kay SHEKINAH, teasing, habang may hawak na ruler): Oh, tingnan mo o,
nakatingin na naman siya. Baka ikaw ang binabalikan niya dito sa bookstore, hindi yung
libro.
SHEKINAH (smiling shyly, whispers back): Shhh, baka marinig tayo!
(CYRIL slowly takes one step forward, parang lalapit na. Pero biglang may mga dumating
na customers sa aisle kaya hindi siya nakalapit kay SHEKINAH)
CYRIL (half-whisper, sabay buntong-hininga habang tinitingnan yung notebook): Hay
naku… sayang. Di ko pa rin nasabi.
(Naka stay pa rin camera kay CYRIL while holding the notebook, then cuts to Scene 3 –
Cinema Lobby.)
SCENE 3 – CINEMA LOBBY
(Crowded cinema lobby. Groups of people lining up for snacks and tickets. SHEKINAH
waits for her friend near entrance. CYRIL suddenly ends up a few steps beside her. Both
notice each other again.)
CAMERA: Over-the-shoulder shots, then close-up on their nervous smiles.
(CYRIL takes a deep breath, steps closer)
Cyril Hello! Ano pangalan mo?
CYRIL (sincere smile, soft tone): Alam mo… ang ganda mo. Bagay na bagay sayo yung
makeup mo.
SHEKINAH (surprised, blushing, softly smiles): Thank you…
(Music volume rises, parang climax ng romantic confession scene.)
CYRIL (pa-cute, tilts head, then suddenly playful tone): Pero girl… ano shade ng blush
mo? Ang ganda, in fairness.
SHEKINAH (confused, half-laughing): H-ha? Shade ng blush?
CYRIL (laughs out loud, confidently): Yes, sis! Hindi tayo talo! I’m gay. Compliment lang
talaga ‘to no.
(Girl bursts out laughing, relief and surprise)
SHEKINAH (still giggling, playful slap sa arm ni CYRIL): Grabe ka! Pero thank you ha,
nakaka-boost ng confidence yun.
CYRIL (snaps fingers, diva pose): Alam mo na, support lang sa kapwa maganda. Uy
boyfriend ko nga pala.
(Friends from both sides call them. They wave goodbye. Camera pans up to cinema
screen, Fade to black.)

ERICH : Ikaw? Kung saan mo pa gusto
MELLIYAH : ahmm. San kaya pwede
ERICH : hm, Jollibee?
(While sitting on a bench at the mall, two friends noticed an ID on the ground. They
playfully argued about who should pick it up, but eventually, they decided to take it and
hand it back to its rightful owner.)
MELLIYAH : Halla may nahulog na I.D ikaw na mag pulot
ERICH : Ikaw na
MELLIYAH : Sige, ako mag pupulot ikaw mag bibigay ha

eventually became friends.)
