What are friends are for'?!

Rocco, you shouldn't have done that.

Stay out of it.

You have no idea how important

that account is to me.

Mik is your friend.

I'm sure

he had just wanted to help.

He's not my friend.

He's just my employee.

Just like you.

You're just my employee.

So just do your job

and stay out of my personal life!

Rocco, I just want to help you too.

I'm not a charity case.

I don't need your help!

And anyway, the account is gone.

So, that means I no longer need you.

So, stay out of my life!

All of you!

I never saw him that mad before.

He is so mean.

I don't think I can still go on, Lala.

Stop crying-

Come.

I'll show you something.

That's Rocco with his father.

You know,

Rod was Rocco's hero.

He loved his father so dearly...

so much.

But, you know, as they say...

Sometimes,

the people that you love the most...

those are the people

that will hurt you the most.

You know why?

Rocco was the one who found out...

that Rod had another family.

And Rod wanted to leave.

Rocco begged him.

He pleaded to his father to stay.

But he still left Rocco?

Yes.

That was the last time...

I heard him say, "Please".

And then after a few years...

the mother died.

That was the last straw.

That's when it all fell apart.

Since then...

he became reckless.

He became angry.

It was so unlike him.

My grandson is not a heartless monster.

You know...

his heart was just broken

for a longtime.

Even my love won't mend it.

And I don't think it will ever heal.

So, I'm sorry, Rocky.

Because I got you involved.

If you really want to quit...

I will let you go.

I won't stop you...

and I will still honor the promise...

that I made to pay.

I'll be the one to tell Rocco.

That I hired you.

So...

You're giving up on him?

Boy!

Good evening.

Are you the new neighbors?

Yes, Ma'am.

The wife's not home yet?

We had a bit of an argument.

I see!

It it's just a little argument...

all you have to do is apologize...

with a bit of sweetness.

That's how he's kept me for fifty years.

Wow.

Fifty years?

Fifty-one, next week.

Well, if you need anything...

feel free to come and see us.

I am Granny Czarina, by the way.

And this is Mr. Benjamin.

Well, nice meeting you.

And welcome to the neighborhood!

Good night.

Okay, goodbye!

OkaV-

Rocky is here. Please come home.

I need to talk to you.

Lala.

Rocco, dear. You're here.

Ah, Racquelita and I

have been talking and, um...

how do I say this?

Well, you see...

I need to tell you something.

Um...

I asked you to come over

because Rocky...

Lala!

I just asked him to pick me up.

That's all.

Here.

I took these

from Lala's photo album.

Souvenirs for you.

I know these first steps are fragile.

But Fm here to guide you.

I'll always be by his side.

I'll never let go.

So this is why Uncle Citds project

was so important to you, right?

You know, Rocky...

the truth is I wanna be better

than my father.

He's so good.

In every blessing...

He can make all married couples

look like they're in love.

Look at that.

A faithful husband.

But in reality...

in real life...

it's all fake.

Like us?

Rocky, sorry if I yelled at you earlier.

O. M. G.

From what I just heard...

you're now better than your dad.

My mom used to tell me

before she passed away...

"The one who knows how to say sorry...

is the better person. "

So that means...

you're now better than anyone else.

So, congratulations!

You're now closer to becoming better!

Yey!

You really think I can be...

a better person than my dad?

Of course.

Rocky, thanks for coming home with me.

It really means a lot.

Rocky...

Oh?

He might still be angry.

Don't think about that.

Just show him that you are sincere...

and he will surely understand.

So go, go, go!

Let's go.

I really have no excuse

for my behavior.

Everything is my fault.

And, Uncle, I'll understand

if you don't give me a second chance.

But, if you do...

I promise, I will give it my all.

Rocky!

He gave me another chance!

- Oh!

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!

- Um...

Rocco?

Rocco?

Rocco...

A".

what's that?

Express hug delivery from Uncle Cito?

Um, well...

that was a "remnant hug" from Mr. Nitoy.

Huh?

Huh?

Um, yeah. Let's go.

Well?

Guys, I'm sorry.

I really am.

Well?

Fine, fine.

Apology accepted.

Yey!

The product stands for trust...

security,

someone you can lean on...

someone you can depend on for life...

someone who will always be there...

no matter what.

They're making

a lifetime commitment with you.

Amazing!

Sounds like a married couple.

Nice.

' Got it!

What?

- What?

Why don't we make

an AVP about married couples?

Their stories match the campaign's theme!

We can look

for couples married for five years...

then we can move on to ten years...

fifteen years, twenty years!

Until we find a couple

who's been married...

for more than fifty years.

Right?

That way, we can show how a relationship

is strengthened through the years.

How a...

simple vow

can turn into a lifetime commitment...

and how something can last forever.

WOW!

I'm so amazed

for that very sweet word.

Forever?

It's not you, man.

So?

People change.

Who knows?

I might start believing...

in "forever. "

Are you sure?

Well, well, well!

ll we all agree...

then let's begin looking for "forever! "

Nehey'.

- Okay. Game!

You were briefed

with the questions, right?

Just be spontaneous.

- Okay. Ready.

Okay, go.

And smile!

Yeah! Happy thoughts!

Quiet on the set!

Camera!

Rolling!

Action!

How long have you been married?

Uh, five years.

- Five years.

What is the secret

to along lasting marriage?

Well, first and foremost, we're friends.

We know everything about each other.

Fats and all.

You're so cute.

As we grow old...

Yuck! You're disgusting!

- I hope we never change.

How dare you say that.

Don't you fart?

I do, but not that loud.

And definitely not that smelly.

But I understand.

Oh! You're over reacting!

- Woah! That stinks! Wooh!

You act like a grabage truck

just passed by.

Yuck! You're tasting it! Yummy?

- Tastes like raw eggs!

We just always...

put the other person's interest first.

Extra strong!

What about the other broken fixtures

in this house?

Come on. Hurry up!

We gotta look for nails.

And hammer.

Okay, noted.

Check.

For the kitchen!

What do you think?

Our secret?

I still court her to this day.

Nice!

- Yeah!

Sit down.

You cooked these?

Yes!

For you!

There's a miracle going on.

Have some rice.

Here.

Hey, wait.

What happened here?

- Huh?

What's this?

Nothing.

It's just the hot cooking oil.

Don't worry about it.

Let's eat.

Don't worry about it.

Twenty-five years.

Yes, twenty-five years.

Always have a sense of humor.

Yes.

Here.

- That's a lot.

This one.

Okay.

How about my lips...

He)', no!

Sheesh!

He was courting me...

when he started picking me up all the time.

I felt like he's someone...

who'd really take care of me.
