Oh my!

I'm so excited and yet nervous!

Rocky!

Bekya!

- Rocky!

Bekya!

Bekya! You look beautiful!

- Best friend, how are you?

I'm beautiful? Really?

- Turn around.

So beautiful!

Hi Lala!

Welcome to the family.

Thank you.

Rocco and Rocky...

you have heard the words

about love and marriage...

have exchanged your vows

and made your promises...

and celebrated your union

with the giving and receiving of rings.

It is at this time...

I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Hey! Nitoy!

Nitoy!

Hey!

Open the door!

'Bro, get up!

- Nifoy!

Open the door!

Papsi, gel up!

Get ready! Ready?

Yikes!

Hi!

Good morning!

What's so good about the morning?

Pay your rent now!

Maybe we can...

If you can't afford to pay your rent...

the streets are big enough!

You can live there!

Please, Pondong.

Have a heart.

Yes, Sir.

Maybe you can give us

an extension.

I would...

if your debt was just a month's rent.

But you owe me six months!

You need to pay me

by next week...

or else HI be forced

to throw you out!

Get out! Get out!

- Hello!

Lala!

Rocco,

are you behaving well while Fm away'?

Of course I'm behaved!

Can't you just enjoy

your vacation there in Germany?

Are you all right?

Yeah,

you have nothing to worry about.

I'm just at home.

It's so boring here.

This is why

your father keeps getting mad at me.

He says k spoil you too much.

Well, to me, you're still the best Lala

in the whole wide world.

Digital kiss!

- Bye, Rocco!

Bye.

Bye!

Bye!

You bad boy!

Bye!

Lala, are you still there?

- So sorry, dear...

that I won't be there

for your birthday tomorrow.

My doctor says...

I still need a week to recover.

- Good morning, Sir.

What gift does my grandson want?

Well, aside from signing the release

of my trust fund tomorrow?

Dear, you'll be twenty-five.

You'll get it for sure.

Well, today is gonna be a great day.

Love you, Lala!

I love you too.

I had a hard time convincing my partners

in awarding you this project.

But I told them what you told me.

That it's about time

we try new ideas.

As you know, your father...

your fathefs company

has been producing our ads for decades now.

So they're already used to it.

Well, Uncle Cito...

I promise you

we will deliver better than his company.

Besides,

they keep giving you those dramatic...

heart-to-heart ads.

It's so outdated.

I wanna show the people that...

Ahead Financial

can offer insurance better.

Quick and easy!

I just hope you don't forget

our promise to our clients...

that commitment lasts forever.

Oh, my Godson.

You're still allergic to the words

"commitment" and "forever".

I just...

I just find

those words hard to believe.

But don't worry.

We'll put that in the copy.

Okay.

I'll take your word for it.

Here.

We don't normally give...

down payments...

but because you asked for it and...

because I want to support

your new production house...

I'm giving this to you.

Just be sure

you keep our timetables.

The ad is a crucial pan

of our fiftieth anniversary campaign.

Well, we won't let you down.

Promise.

- Okay.

Tomorrow, I will be a very rich man!

I'm finally getting my trust fund

from Lala!

Eighty million!

- Eighty million, bro!

Cheers to that!

- Cheers!

Wait a minute.

Aren't you supposed to be in Macau

with Gretchen right now?

Dude, come on!

We broke up!

What?

Dude, sorry to hear that.

Are you okay?

Come on!

I'm with you guys

and all these happy people.

Don't pity me!

It was bound to happen anyways.

It's over!

Cheers!

Gretchen!

Hey!

It was bound to happen anyway, huh?

Look, the whole relationship idea...

if?"

it's just not my thing.

And it's not like

we were gonna get married, right?

Happy birthday.

Ouch...

Let's party!

Everybody!

Drinks on me!

Let's go!

Happy birthday m me!

Cheers!

- Cheers!

your ten million peso debt?

There's a loanshark over there.

Well, of course I'll pay you.

I'll pay you right away.

No problem.

Make sure of it.

How can we be that stupid?

I can't believe we gambled

our client's down payment.

It's because we got drunk.

Duh.

Come on, guys.

Have you forgotten

what day it is?

It's your birthday!

- Right!

Happy birthday, bro!

It means

I'm getting may trust fund today.

So, I'm a rich man!

We'll be able to pay my debt

from last night.

And we can deliver

Uncle Cito's commercial.

Right?

No problem!

And most importantly,

I have tons of extra cash.

Ah.

Is that a"?

This isn't enough, huh?

Do we have to move again?

Oh, no no no no!

Don't you worry.

I'll keep on auditioning

until I get a job.

I will land a major role.

Right!

- I'll get paid a ton!

Okay.

Is the Dela Cruz family giving up?

Never! It's just a debt!

Right!

- We're family!

Let's go!

One! Two! Three!

- Fight!

Fight!

Marriage certificate?

Yes!

It was stipulated here

in your trust fund.

You can get it

when you reach the age of twenty-five...

provided you're married.

H' you're not,

then Fm afraid you'll have to wait...

until you reach the age

of thrity-five.

Wait, are you sure

that's my account?

It was amended recently.

You might want to consult

with your grandmother.

Lala!

Yes, dear.

Why didn't you tell me

I had to get married first...

before I can claim my trust fund.

What'?

Well, that's what the lawyer told me!

Didn't I tell you?

No!

Oh, I did! I already told you.

I told you that during the night

when you came home from a party.

You were even throwing up.

I was drunk!

But still, I did tell you.

Lala, seriously?!

Darling...

I just finished

with my stem cell therapy.

They took away decades from my face.

Please, I ask you...

don't bring them back.

Okay?

And besides...

there shouldn't be a problem.

After five years of being together.

You're bound to marry Gretchen, right?

Happy birthday, dear!

Love you! Bye!

Lala, no! No! No, no, no!

Guys!

Gretchen...

I made a huge mistake.

I was so stupid.

That's why I'm asking you.

Gretchen, will you marry me?

Babe.

I've been waiting

for this moment for so long...

and now that it's really happening...

I can finally say...

get lost!

What?

I've had enough.

I don't ever wanna go back

and be pan of your life ever again!

Ouch!

Baby!

- Get lost!

Gretchen!

Cupcake!

Next.

Look, look, look!

Tricia!

Where'?

She almost jumped off a building...

after you left her.

She's perfect!

I have lipstick. Lipstick.

- Thank you.

So... are you buying?

- Next, Ms. Rocky Dela Cruz.

That's me.

Let's go.

- Oh, it's my turn? Okay.

I'll get your order too later, okay?

Eye shadow.

Ha?

My name is...

Racquelita Dela Cruz, a. k. a. Rocky.
