Oscar:

There is a Filipino saying.

"No matter how long a procession,"

"the church is its destination

all the same."

I prefer what I learned

in the military.

"If you were born to hang yourself,"

"you'll never drown."

Metro Manila

Banaue, Cordillera,

The Philippines

Shopkeeper:

The rice grains aren't good.

- How much?

- Ninety per bundle today.

Last year it was P120, right?

My family might starve

with that.

Shopkeeper:
Then go to the fields

to gather more for two days.

I've harvested everything.

That's all there is.

What do you prefer,

money or grains?

Go on,

pay him up.

Come on, beat it.

This isn't enough

to buy seeds...

...for next year.

What are we going to do?

We go to Manila.

I'll could find a job there.

Why?

- My tooth hurts.

- Show me.

In Manila there are many dentists.

They can heal that there, okay?

How much longer?

Almost done, boss.

Almost finished.

In your heart.

For always?

For always.

For all eternity.

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

How many do you need today?

So your car's suspension

All right.

Can you do heavy lifting?

I am a farmer,

I'm quite strong.

Bring along three more.

Those strong types.

Oi!

Move out.

Squatters are prohibited here.

But my husband

has paid the rent.

Rent?

To whom?

The Government owns...

...this building.

So if you don't want

to go to jail,

pick up all your trash,

your garbage.

Get the hell out of here!

Right now!

Hurry up!

Get a move on!

[Baby crying]

Go ahead, enter.

You're the ones

who have the right here.

Good job, guys!

- Thank you.

- I told you I was strong.

I'm going.

For sure,

you know your way home.

Wait...

What about our fee?

There.

Better grab your share

before they consume it all.

Pa.

I thought there's a doctor

to cure my tooth?

Let me see.

Just bear it for a while.

We have faith in God.

- We can't stay here!

- Let's go, c'mon.

You're looking for a place to stay?

Yes, if only...

Right there.

It's vacant.

We have no money.

All people here have no money.

That's why we live here.

Thanks.

If you're not dancing on stage

you sit in the aquarium

until the customer picks your number

Your job description here,

entertain the customer,

so he orders drinks as many times.

Tell your Mamasan

your order is vodka,

but give you water instead.

Make your customer happy.

Sit on his lap,

kiss him,

you touch his balls.

Just make sure he keeps on ordering

and keeps on coming back.

Because the minimum quota here

is 20 drinks per night.

Hurry up.

This is the dressing room.

You change clothes and

do your makeup here.

Like that, all right?

- How many children you have?

- I have two.

You can leave them here

if you have no nanny.
