Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy Page #2

---

Do you have any other family members?

Unless you tell them the truth.

Well, excuse me.

Tell us what, Pops?

The truth about you and Girlie.

What?!

We're not twins?

You're twins! Isn't it obvious?

But you're not just twins.

What? We're married?

Your brother has a damaged liver

while you have a damaged brain!

You're not just twins,

you're quadruplets!

You mean there are two other Girlies?

Another boy and another girl.

We have to go to the Philippines.

We need to find your siblings

and your mother.

What?

I thought she's dead. Granny told us.

Granny... Granny is such a...

Granny is such a... goose.

Why didn't you tell us, Dad?

Why? Why? Why?!

- Why?!

- Don't shout at me!

Why?

I don't need to explain!

Our priority is for

your brother to be cured.

So, this is Manila.

Crowded, polluted area.

Why are you looking at me?

- It's too crowded here.

- Here, we're sure you'll get cured.

Unlike in the province,

when you get an attack...

we resort to herbal medicine.

Are we just going to chat here?

Aren't we going to

the house we're renting?

Let's go before they

mistake her as a muffler.

You got it wrong!

The signage is too small.

You should have made it bigger!

Are you Peter Jackstone and family?

Let's go there!

Pops! He's dead! He's dead!

- Who? Who's dead?

- He's dead!

My phone is dead.

It's not working here in the Philippines.

This can't be real!

This means the end of the world! Scary!

Even scarier than my dream

of French-kissing Dagul.

This strawberry mobile has no use!

It's better off as fruit salad!

Just buy a new cellphone.

- Where?

- There.

Hello, Ma'am!

Ma'am, you're so beautiful!

You look like a star!

- I look like a star?

- Yes.

Does my face have five corners

like that of a star?

Are we in the Philippines already?

Yes Ma, we're here.

Aren't you sweating in that outfit?

I have so many memories here.

Oh my God!

So pretty! Isn't she so pretty?

I told you ma'am.

I'm gonna buy this! Right now!

This is the house.

There are two living rooms.

Dining is here. Kitchen is there.

Master's bedroom is there.

- Mom...

- Yes?

Are we really going

to live in this house?

It's too big. We can't afford this.

I agree. The furniture's complete.

And there's a piano.

Not just that. No electricity

and water charges. Free Wi-Fi.

Class! Free Wi-Fi?

How much is the rent again?

2,320 pesos. All in.

Okay, what's the catch?

Why is the rent so low?

Nothing!

You won't get out of here alive

unless you tell us the truth!

You're dead.

Nothing. It's just that no one

can stay here long...

so the landlord thought of

renting it out for a small amount.

But why?

There are ghosts!

That's your sister!

Mom, what is the priest for?

I just thought of exorcising this house

to get rid of all the ghosts.

Mom, no! She's like family to us.

Haven't I told you not

to make fun of your sister?

Don't mind them. Let's get inside

so I can show you the ghosts.

Don't you want to come with me?

Let's go. Here.

Ghost!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

They really brought luggage?

I'm so sorry if I'm sick.

I've been a burden to you.

You should've just left me upstairs.

Hi, Marie!

Hi, Girlie!

Oh my God, you're so beautiful!

How are you, darling?

I'm okay. Just tired.

But I have a lead already.

They say Pia is in Sampaloc.

Well, I really just want us

to get married.

So when you find them, make sure you

make her sign the divorce papers.

I miss you. I love you.

Hey, man.

Yes?

Where can I apply for a job like yours?

Janitor?

No, a coin bank.

It's hard working here in Manila!

You're better off in the province.

You can be a farmer.

Here, you'll just starve.

You have to pay for every move.

Money is everything.

Nothing will happen to you here.

If I were you, go back to the province.

Are you really a janitor

or a guidance counselor?

I don't know.

And how were you able to know

that I'm a barrio lass?

You're not a barrio lass...

You're a barrio lad.

How rude!

Just because you're Chinese...

How did you know I'm Chinese?

There. Looks like

I'm going to be lucky today.

How rude!

You know, I'm also a fortune-teller.

Really? What's my fortune?

You'll get imprisoned!

How rude!

You're rude!

You're also rude!

You started it!

You're ruder!

- You're rude!

- Rude!

Who's ruder?

You're rude!

You should have worn underwear there!

- You're ruder!

- We're both rude!

Yes, we're both rude.

Okay, we're all rude.

Just a second.

Ma'am, check out our watches.

They're all original. Made in USA.

This one?

Here.

Mark, when you get hired today,

I hope you can ask for an advance.

We don'! have enough money for food

and for Panying's medicine.

Take care. Love you.

Miss, may I see that?

And that gold one.

How about that one?

That silver one.

Here's the silver one.

Wait, Ma'am.

This one, Sir?

Ma'am, have you picked one?

No. I changed my mind.

I want a wall clock.

Is that so? They have it there.

Thank you.

Thanks.

One, two...

Hi, Sir!

Sir, you get surprised so easily!

Who won't get surprised?

I look like this and you call me "sir"?

Why, Sir?

We have the same hairdo.

Sir, I think that's him.

Tall, wearing a yellow top, long hair.

That's him! That's him!

Faster! Catch him!

There's a shoplifter in your area.

Tall, wearing yellow.

A woman... A man... No! No!

A gay! Gay!

What's happening?

Copy, Sir!

Excuse me. Are you gay?

You want a fight?

Do I look gay? Do I look gay?

Negative, negative.

He's not here, Sir.

Have mercy on me!

Here. This one. And another one.

These are what you've stolen.

Sir, I'm so sorry.

It's just that my sister is sick.

Take his picture.

Good.

Sir, aren't you going to

post this around the mall?

Yes.

I don't look good in this outfit.

So what do you want to happen?

Can I just change my outfit?

There are lots of nice clothes there.

So that I look good

in the picture. Selfie, selfie.

Just make it quick.

Sir, can I change for the last time?

So I'll look more fabulous

in the poster.

That's enough.

I'll look more fabulous there, Sir!

Last one, please.

Fine! Make it quick!

Is he done yet?

Not yet, Sir.

Check on him!

Sir! Sir! Sir! He escaped!

What are you doing? Look for him!

Sir...

Have you found him?

That one? Not yet.

Even the police haven't found him.

We don't mind it anymore.

Hello! Let's talk later. Bye.

Miss...

Do you work here?

Yes.

Have you found him? May I apply?

Are you a singer?

I don't want to brag, but I can give

Aiza and Charice a run for their money.

I know...

Sorry, sorry.

Are you sure about your singer?

My singer? I just met her outside

and she said she wanted to apply.

Why isn't she singing?

Boo!

Get out of that stage!

So that's it?

Are you sure you're

going to start working?

Can you handle it?

Isn't that going to stress you out?

It's nothing, Ma. I'm just going to sing.

And Liza is there to help me.

Looks like you're going through puberty.

Looks like your face is getting oily.
