not to touch my chair?!

We can always buy a new one.

No. Never!

Why are you doing this?

Just because it's old, it's useless?

You're being overdramatic, Tonio.

There's no need to get mad!

We're just concerned for you.

Adrian. Adrian!

Yes mom?

Give your father his beloved chair.

Dad!!

lt's your fault, you know.

You're fighting mom over a chair.

l don't care.

lt's almost lunch

and you're just having breakfast?

Time moves slower when you're older.

Are you going out?

Yes. Why?

No, dad. You can't go out.

And why not?

l will leave when l want to

and l'll come home if l want to.

Let me remind you,

l am still the head of this family.

And l will do what l want.

Nobody can tell me what to do.

Dad, you can't leave with just your briefs on.

Put on some pants.

l will leave when l'm in my pants.

-Son of a b*tch!

-Pass.

You don't have a single?

None.

He said we did it?

We never even dated. He's a liar.

Who is she arguing with?

l guess her boyfriend.

When you're young, you think the world's ending

when you fight with your boyfriend.

We used to be so innocent.

Ha! You were never innocent.

You were a pervert.

l would give anything

to be young again.

Me...

l just woke up one day,

and l was old.

Now my kids think they're better than me.

You know, growing old

is not for the faint of heart.

Being sixty isn't so bad.

Seniors get a twenty percent discount.

And a full house.

Pass.

Pass.

l don't want to claim

my senior citizens card.

You should. lt's useful.

l don't want to.

l don't want to be officially old.

The lD will only remind me

of how old l've become.

That our lives are about to end...

That we are just waiting for death...

Pair king.

Pass

That's sad.

What's wrong?

Why?

Who said l was happy

in the first place?

On a scale of one to ten,

l'm a one.

Huh? Just one?

No chance of a ten?

There is...

if l get a new lease on life.

lf l get to do what l want.

And what's that?

To bake.

To what?

To bake.

Bake?

Our old lady wants to bake!

Do you know how to bake?

l can learn.

When l was young,

l used to watch my grandmother bake.

And l know the taste

of a good pandesal.

l just need to get it perfect.

lf you're serious,

l know a good location for a bakery.

Leave it all to me.

lsn't it great?

Perfect for a bakery.

Perfect if you want to get gangrene.

Will they give you

a health permit for this place?

A little cleaning

and this place will be good as new!

A little?! A little cleaning?

l can see it now...

You can have tables here

for dine in guests.

Over here

will be the shelves for the bread.

And here, the counter...

And here is where the magic happens!

Aaah!

A rat!

A cat will solve that problem.

So? What do you think?

Bert, maybe we should check

other places too.

This is a bargain at 1 5,000.

l might even be able to get it

down to 10,000,

lncluding the equipment.

For only 80,000 this bakery is yours.

This place is just right for a bakery.

Take it. Before someone else does.

Who do l write the cheque to?

You won't regret it.

This bakery is a best buy.

And so... l bought a bakery.

Huh? Why?

Are you crazy, Tonio?

A barber shop?

Ba... ker... y.

Your retirement pay is all gone, dad?

So what? lt's my money.

At your age,

why are you taking a risk?

l am old so l have nothing to lose.

What if this fails,Tonio?

Do you even know how to bake?

Or how to run a business?

No, but l know l want to be a baker.

Looking good.

l'm so happy you're here.

You're not mad anymore?

l could never stay mad at you.

Oh. You fixed it.

The guys helped me with it.

This is nice.

Here... this is for you.

You look good.

You make a handsome baker.

Thank you.

Good thing you're here.

l wasn't sure

if l was right or just an old fool.

Let the dough rise

until it doubles in size.

Hey! Should l play your hand?

l'm coming. l'm coming.

Hurry.

-What's the last play?

-Here.

Pair four.

Yeah, l'm in.

l wonder how things went

at Maning's wake?

l really don't want going to those things.

l hope Maning is playing poker in heaven.

Here.

There's gambling in heaven?

Seven!

lt's not heaven without poker.

l'm sure his cards are always good,

because it's heaven.

Like these cards?

Give me a chance to play.

Remember Maning used to pick his nose

whenever he got a good hand.

-Jun...

-Hey!

l miss that guy.

Which one of us will die last?

Don't they say the bad egg dies last?

Here! Let's see those twos.

All's lost.

Here.

Big two poker.

lt's you who will die last.

Tonio, how much yeast did you use?

Jun said 60.

60? l said 16!

16?!

Please sit down. You're making me dizzy.

lt's rising.

lt will bake faster if you don't watch.

Come here and play with us.

lt's your turn.

Am l doing the right thing?

l cannot fail.

Pass.

-Pass.

-Pass.

We'll lose all our savings.

Pass.

How will l explain this to Mercy?

Pass.

What will my children say?

This is my last card.

You're scaring me.

You did not even let me play.

What's that?

Something's burning!

Ah! My pandesal!

Ouch, doctor!

These are second degree burns.

Doctor, will he make it?

lt's not a brain injury!

No need for last rites.

You're not allowed to eat here.

Sorry.

Hey! Leave some for me.

So? ls it good?

The parts that were'nt burnt are okay.

Hey. You have black stuff on your teeth.

Right there.

So do you.

Me?

-You too.

-Me too?

You're being too noisy.

Please wait outside.

What a grump...

Dad, what happened to your hand?

Just a minor injury.

What's that? Biscotti?

No, have some of my pandesal.

You baked these?

Yes.

Let me taste them.

They're delicious.

Children, taste this.

Go on. Get one.

lt's good.

Yum. Here, Faith.

Bobby, get one.

You know, Dad, you should stop

this foolishness while you still can.

lt's a waste of money, dad.

We could have used that money ourselves.

My whole life l did nothing

but provide for all of you.

Everything you wanted, l gave.

This is the only time

l'm doing something for myself.

And you won't let me have it?

You children are no good!

This is really good!

That's a lot of pandesal.

Can you sell it all?

Better than not having enough.

Are you still making a profit at one peso?

lt's only the first day.

Here... take one.

Dad, all you're selling is pandesal?

What else will l sell?

You need variety.

What is your business plan?

What's that?

This is what we've been trying to tell you, Dad,

This maybe

the best tasting pandesal in the world...

but if you know nothing about business,

you will fail.

Tonio, are you sure about this?

You've been awake all night?

How can l sleep

when l'm worried about you.

Are you sure about this?

This has been a life-long dream.

But you don't know what you're doing.

Just this once...

Can't l do what l want?

-There's passenger.

-Stop! Stop!

Miss Dacanay,

do you have any next of kin?

No, he can't be here.

How about the father of your child?

You're pregnant.

What for?

He's unreliable.

Dude...
