pray for us sinners...

Hi Auntie!

- Did you get my text?

- Yes, Brother's over there.

You got new games?

Easy with the box, that's food!

- How are you?

- I'm homeless now!

Ma!

- Where's Grandma?

- In her room.

I'll go get her.

What happened to her?

She went looking for ice cream.

She stepped outside by herself.

A bus almost hit her,

when she got startled by the horn.

She fell on the street.

Luckily, it's just two stitches.

Why are you here?

Grandma, it's time to eat.

Grandma, it's time to eat.

Come on, Grandma.

Who is this person?

That's Sarah!

Who's Sarah?

Grandma, I'm your grand daughter,

don't you recognize me?

Sarah?

That's Sarah, my sister!

Grandma can't remember

many things lately.

Don't worry, she sometimes

can't even remember Sister Betty.

Grandma, I'll help you up. Be careful.

Please assist me, Dear.

- I forgot to turn off the light.

- Let me do it.

Sorry, I'm late!

I brought chicken pastel!

Sarah, you won't find

a chicken pastel like this in UK!

- I made it for you.

- Thank you.

Thank God,

you won't find that kind of food there.

Grandma, why aren't you eating your food?

You should eat.

Try this, it's very delicious.

Ma, Grandma doesn't remember me anymore.

That's because your last visit was when?

Last Christmas?

Ma! We were here last Lenten Season!

We stayed one week!

Wasn't that just recently?

- Why are you raising your voice?

- Because I know what you're going to say!

That I don't visit you regularly...

that Paulo's growing up

not knowing his grandmother...

- I know where this is going!

- But it's true!

That Teddy drove you away from us.

You had a nice job here in Manila.

Your husband took you

to rot in the province...

to manage their family's

failing business.

Now he's totally separating you from us

in another country!

Ma...

Teddy just wants a better life.

But why must you

and your son follow him there?

That's what Teddy wants.

How about you? Is that what you want too?

- Sarah!

- What?

Did you allow Paulo to go out with Alvin?

No, he didn't ask permission.

They left all dressed up...

- to go to a birthday party.

- Why didn't you tell me right away?

I could tell he was lying

so I said I'll ask you first.

That boy is going to get it.

Well, where are they?

- Maybe they're out in the corner.

- Hurry, we have to catch them.

Auntie!

They just left with their friends!

Alvin is with him anyway!

That's exactly why I'm worried.

Relax, you're stressing yourself!

This kid tends to make me...

because we decided that he'll stay in the

province and not here with his cousins.

He's mad because I didn't defend

his wishes against Teddy.

That I wasn't even able
