This mango is very sweet.
Pedro, I’ll buy them all!
Even I did not believe that mangoes could glow.
I thought it was a silly folk story.
Legend has it that the mangoes here at Cordero Farm are the sweetest because of one reason.
According to my mother,
it is true love, which exists in each generation.
Wow!
As long as there is true love, the mangoes will remain sweet.
And an indication of this is the magical way the mango trees light up.
Only when I witnessed it did I believe.
During my time with Isabella, our cattle increased
and the mango orchard tripled its yield.
So we were able to build a no-tuition private school
and a charity hospital.
My wife and I believed in sharing the blessings we receive with others,
especially because people are our greatest treasure in life.
I’m sorry if I make you tell this story over and over.
I don’t mind at all.
My grandma told me that the love between you and Doña Isabella inspired people.
That’s why they were dedicated in their work.
Long live the Cordero family!
Long live Don Alejandro and Doña Isabella!
Dad!
Mom!
Pichichi!
Come on and dance!
Please. Let’s just do this for them.
I wonder when I can taste sweet mangoes from this orchard again.
I have faith that this land will be bountiful again someday.
You should’ve taken me with you, Isabella.
Dad,
I’m sorry if I failed you.
Instead of improving the conditions of the farm, I caused its absolute downfall.
You were right.
Maybe...
the legend must be true.
And since Sylvia and I separated,
we ended the chain of true love in the Cordero family.
I failed you, Dad.
But please don’t let me fail in the pursuit of my dreams.
Anton, let’s go.
Pichichi...
I'll miss you.
Take care.
I hope you come home soon, Anton,
so your grandpa can taste the sweetest mangoes once again.
Yes, all engineers can construct buildings.
But we’ll offer the most efficient and cost-effective means.
That’s why I suggest we use an 8-inch I-beam steel for the structure.
Won’t that be more expensive than concrete and steel?
Well, on the contrary, I think, Engr. Cordero is on the right track.
Mind you, the price of I-beam steel is still competitive in the market.
Not only that, it will cut down our labor costs and shorten construction time.
It will definitely hasten the return of investment for Mr. Lim.
Remember, we’re dealing with a businessman here.
Well, I guess Anton should be our frontliner.
Yes!
So...
The meeting is adjourned. Thank you very much.
Okay.
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you very much!
Libby, where’s your report?
It’s on your desk. Here’s your schedule.
Till Sunday. Tomorrow, you have a working lunch --
Wait. Sunday?
- Tomorrow, you have a-- - Hey, Libby. Sunday.
I work doubly hard six days a week.
Can’t you free up my Sundays?
Remember…
- Even God rested on the seventh day. - Right.
- Hello? - Trish?
- Yeah. Hi. - Where are you?
At the gym.
I’ll pick you up.
Why? You mean you’re free?
Isn’t it obvious?
Whatever happened to that girl Sheryl?
Sheryl who?
Oh, come on.
I don’t know her.
So do I pick you up or not?
Yes, of course.
Okay.
Be there in 30 minutes?
Love you.
I said I love you.
Yeah, until the next girl comes along, right?
Trish…
Bye!
Your mangoes are bland!
You’re lucky I’m offering to buy your farm and salvage it.
Fifty million, all in! Take it or leave it!
I’m not interested. You’re wasting your time!
I missed you.
Well, not as much as I missed you.
I have a surprise for you.
What, should I close my eyes?
Surprise news, not surprise gift.
Okay.
What is it?
You remember the guy you proposed to build a 250 million-peso building for?
Mr. Lim?
You have a meeting with him.
He liked your proposal.
Yes!
Trish, thank you!
Thank you very much!
- Make sure you don’t disappoint my uncle. He referred you. - I won't.
I won’t, I won't. Promise.
It’s the same thing. Trust me.
We'll be millionaires!
This is just the beginning. Our dreams are within our grasp.
We’ll erect buildings and malls.
Soon, we’ll build flyovers too.
Or is that a bit of a stretch?
Of course not.
Just imagine our names written on bridges that will connect the islands of this country.
Hey, don’t look at me like that!
There you go again. Quit staring at me.
Yes, I love you.
Oh dear!
You’ve been watching that video for two years now.
Haven’t you grown tired of it?
How could I?
That handsome fella is my future husband.
I’ll never grow tired of him.
All right. But tell me what made you sure.
Mom, when Anton returns, he would want to stay here for good.
He is destined for this place.
Once he’s here, all that’s needed is for him to realize that I am his true love.
When we’re finally together...
the farm will produce the sweetest mangoes and the land will flourish once more.
Don Alejandro will be happy again.
You’re a starry-eyed dreamer.
Mom, have more faith. For my sake. Please?
The trouble is, you don’t have a single romantic bone in you, Teresa.
You think all men are like your husband.
No wonder you look haggard and dull.
But look at us!
We’re still pretty!
And quite sexy!
Are those candies for him?
Yes, for Anton.
Don Alejandro is going to Manila, so I’m sending him these.
What do you think, Pedro?
Can we harvest 200 mangoes from a single tree?
We’ll be lucky to harvest seventy-five.
Seventy-five!
Goodness!
We used to harvest three hundred from just one tree.
Why so few now?
Marian, you’re in charge here while I’m away
All right.
Don Alejandro!
These are for Anton. Please give--
Anton, I’ll be in L.A. for two months. No hanky panky while I’m gone, okay?
- Yes, Dad. - Anton, I’m serious.
I’ll be a good boy, Dad.
Ging, no liquor while I’m away, okay?
Yes, Sir.
Take care, Dad.
I’m telling you…
Have fun!
Hello?
Hello. Good afternoon. May I speak with Sir Anton?
Sir, it’s a girl!
Is it Trish?
No, the voice is different.
I’m not here!
Sorry, Ma’am. Sir Anton isn’t home.
- I see. - Marian...
Don Alejandro is now conscious. He’s asking for you.
Please tell him his grandfather had a heart attack.
Bye.
Trish, where are you?
Why aren’t you answering your cellphone?
I’m with friends at a restaurant.
I’m going to the farm.
Why?
It’s an emergency. My grandpa...
What about Mr. Lim?
Francis will cover for me.
Look, I need you here.
What am I supposed to do there? What do you need me there for?
Moral support.
Moral support?
You’re just visiting your grandfather. You need my moral support?
If you don’t want to go, fine!
Thank you.
Just bring home dried mangoes for me, okay?
Pichichi.
Grandpa, just rest. Don’t mind me.
I’ll just stay here by your side.
This was nothing.
It was just a mild heart attack.
My chest tightened, that’s all.
How are you and your Dad?
We’re fine. We’re both well.
I’m just waiting for Dad’s plane to land at L.A. before I call to tell him about your condition.
No need to make him worry.
I’m fine.
- This is good. - Of course it is.
Mister Usting, have you sprayed the trees in the periphery?
I’ll get to it, Marian. After we’re done here.
Mister Usting, you know that Don Alejandro isn’t well.
But it seems you have more important things to do.
We’d better get back to work before the mistress of the estate gets angry.
- Yeah. - Come on!
Fix that later.
- Stop that. - It's delicious.
Sir!
Sir! Sir, this is from Marian.
Your grandpa was supposed to hand these to you.
Just put it in my car.
My child...
Are you heading back to the city?
Yes, Grandpa.
I have to go back to Manila.
Listen, Anton.
I’m already old.
My body’s getting weak by the day.
Here’s the thing, Grandpa…
I’m being tapped for the construction of a 20-storey building.
Can you imagine being entrusted with a project that big, at my age?
That’s why you have to get well, Grandpa.
I want you to be present at the groundbreaking.
Please take care.
You know the object of my affection, right?
I want someone who attended college in Manila and graduated with honors. An engineer.
So my chances are zero because I’m a lowly carpenter.
There’s nothing low about being a carpenter.
Who builds houses anyway?
The fact that you’re a carpenter is not the problem.
Then what is?
This thing here.
My heart.
Ma’am!
Be careful! Watch your step!
Don Alejandro’s grandson has arrived!
Hurry! You might miss this chance!
Hurry, ma'am!
Sianang.
- Take care of Grandpa. Okay, Sianang? - Yes, Sir.
Also...
- Make sure he limits his coffee intake. - But…
Just do as I say. And keep me posted. In case he falls ill, call me right away.
- Okay? You know how to reach me, right? - Yes.
- Okay. - All right, Sir.
Sir! Wait! Sir!
What?
Mr. Lim is leaving for the United States?
Has he made a decision on our proposal?
It’s nothing. Just carabaos.
Hold on, Trish.
What did you say?
Hello…
Thank you!
- Marian! Why the rush? - Sir Anton is back!
Hello?
- Grandma! - What?
He’s back!
Who?
Sir Anton!
What did she say?
It’s Anton!
Mom, he’s back!
You look lovely!
Is it appropriate?
Of course it is!
Right, Teresa?
Teresa?!
Marian...
Change your clothes.
Thanks, Mom!
Who told my daughter to wear that outfit?
Hi.
Hi, Sir!
Sir, Señorito Anton came back!
I knew he couldn’t leave you in your condition, Sir.
- Pichichi! - Grandpa.
Sianang...
Send for Marian.
We have to discuss how Anton is going to get started on managing the mango orchard.
Grandpa, no! You’re mistaken!
But, Sir, I think I just saw Marian arrive.
She’s here?
Wait! Hold on a second.
I came back. But it’s not becau--
Here she is!
♪ ♪
Marian! What are you doing?
Say something to Sir Anton!
Good afternoon, Sir.
Good afternoon!
Marian? Is it you? The…
Yes, it’s Marian. Look at her closely.
It’s your childhood friend. Teresa’s daughter.
Tinang’s grandchild.
She’s the one who sends you mango candies.
Don’t tell me you’re experiencing sudden amnesia.
Pichichi...
She has changed a lot since you last saw her. She has graduated and is now a teacher.
She’s also my Administrative Assistant.
Sir, how kind of you to agree to your grandfather’s request.
Sianang...
Take Anton’s things back to his room.
No!
Why not?
I’m not staying, Grandpa. I’m leaving.
You’re not staying? I don’t understand.
Excuse us, please.
Okay...
This misunderstanding is my fault, okay?
I didn’t come back to manage the estate. I just forgot something.
Is that so?
Sir, how could you leave?
You can’t go.
Not with your grandfather’s present condition.
We need you here.
You should let your grandpa rest. He’s already very old so he’s become weak and sickly.
No, Marian. It’s fine.
Go ahead, son.
Go ahead and get what you came back for.
What do you mean you’re not coming home yet?
Hello! Jorge and Sylvia just flew in!
And they want to meet you before they go to Palawan.
Trish I can’t. I’m stuck here.
Excuses, excuses!
Last time they were here, you were sick. What's two days to meet my brother?!
Look Trish…
- Sir! - Please!
- Marian's here. She brought a bike for you to use. - What?!
Hello?
Trish, please. Just explain the situation to them.
Why don’t you explain it to them yourself?!
Why do I always have to look like a fool to them?
You know they’re probably thinking that my boyfriend is a ghost!
- Sir, don’t make her wait too long. - Stop it!
Stop what?! How dare you?
No, Trish! It was…
Hello?
Trish?
Trish!
Are you done, Sir?
Are you ready, Sir? He's ready!
Okay. Have a nice day, Sir!
We should have used my car.
Sir, there are areas we wouldn’t be able to access with a car.
Besides, don’t you think it’s nice?
You can breathe in fresh air for a change. In Manila, you inhale smoke and pollution.
But I wouldn't be having a hard time!
Sir, this is Rufus. Look at his mangoes. They’re nice, aren’t they?
- Who? - You know...
These trees are older than us.
There’s Luisa.
You have names for all the trees?
How about “Rico J.”?
Rico J?
Over there. Follow me!
This one right here is Rico J. Puno!
Sir?
- Sir, are you okay? - I’m fine.
Really. I said I’m fine.
Let me guess…
That’s April Boy and Mystica.
No.
It’s Marvin and Jolina.
Why are we here?
Sir, isn’t this your favorite spot?
Come and get me!
It’s Ma’am Marian.
- Ma’am! - Hi, Ma’am!
Aren’t you going to greet Sir Anton?
Good afternoon, Sir.
Hello.
Sir, this is Bitoy, Joel’s son.
Joel who?
Our classmate in elementary school.
Maring and Josem’s son.
Don’t you remember them?
You can go play now.
Bye. Take care.
Let’s go!
- Hurry! - Be careful.
Remember how we used to play tag?
You’re it!
Isn’t there a river right next to this lake?
They’ve built a fence around it.
A fence? I’ll remove it.
It doesn't belong to your grandfather anymore.
Your father sold that area when he managed the estate.
But isn’t everything nicer here?
They say this is where you can have the best view of the legendary glowing trees.
Marian! Sir!
Look at them, they make quite a pair!
Sir!
Marian!
Sir, don’t forget. We'll have lunch tomorrow at our house.
After that, we’re going to Susan’s to meet up with our high school classmates.
Oh, you’ll be surprised when you see them. Most of them...
have families of their own now.
He’s probably just tired.
I’m hungry!
Control yourself!
Are you sure Anton knows we’re expecting him?
Yes, Grandma.
Did he say yes?
How could he say no to her?
Why don’t you fetch him? He might have forgotten.
Sir! Sir!
- Sir... - Hey!
Sir, wake up!
- Sir... - What the--?!
Sir, wake up! Marian is waiting for you.
Why?!
Sir, you’re having lunch with them.
I’m not hungry.
Sir!
But Sir...
What?!
They went through the trouble of preparing a feast for you, Sir.
Sir...
Try this, Sir. I guess you’re hungry.
I used to make this for your father. It’s his favorite!
Here. This is beef stew.
- Teresa! - Yes?
- The juice! Hurry! - Yes. Here it is!
Sir, have some dessert. Marian made this.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Look at Marian. Isn’t she beautiful?
Grandma!
Why don’t you sit beside Sir Anton?
Keep him company.
That’s a good idea.
Come on!
Sir, she’s not really clumsy. She’s just dazed in the presence of the one she loves.
Mama!
Well…
What I meant was…
What Marian loves are hair products!
- Is this hair pomade on your hair, Sir? - It’s hair gel.
Oh, gel!
Gel!
Sir, I hope you don’t mind me asking—
How long will you be staying here in the estate?
Hopefully, you’re staying for good.
- Right, Ma? - I agree.
Thank you.
Enjoy the food.
Sir, did you enjoy lunch?
Of course I did.
Message sent! Good thing there’s network signal here.
Grandpa said you’re a teacher. Why don’t you just teach?
I’m happy with my work at the mango orchard.
Really? How much do you earn from it?
Sir, it’s not important.
Money can’t buy everything.
You know what, only hypocrites say that.
Tell me, where in the world can you find a marketplace that gives out free mangoes?
Message sent!
It’s in top form.
I know. I’ll place a bet on it.
Good afternoon, Sir!
Good afternoon.
Sir, do you remember Mister Usting and Mister Pedro?
Sir, we’ll go ahead.
We have work to attend to at the southern area.
Usting, let’s go!
Excuse us, Sir.
Okay.
People say that this land was the most bountiful during your grandparents’ time.
Their love was eternal.
And not just for each other, but for the land as well.
The mangoes were sweet, so the workers were assured of a livelihood.
Wait.
Can’t we talk about something happy?
What’s sad about these stories?
I know that it all boils down to the preposterous legend.
What does love have to do with mangoes anyway?
You know...
If the mangoes are bland, nothing can be done about it.
You don't need magic.
At best, you’ll need a strategy.
Besides, the workers are idle.
So naturally, business is going downhill.
Your grandfather is lucky to have Marian.
She’s not even family, but she cares more for the estate than others do.
- Excuse me. - Okay.
Hello?
Francis, hold on.
Remember how Fernando loved to dance?
- That’s why he’s now a Fernandina! - At least I got to dance!
Unlike Marian here who waited in vain during the prom.
- Cut it out, will you? - But it’s true, Marian.
The guy she was waiting for invited someone else to dance.
Stop it, guys. He might hear us. He’s just steps away.
Don’t worry. He won’t hear you.
He can’t even stop making and taking calls for you guys…
Much less for me.
Marian...
Marian! Ouch!
- Celia?! Relax! - I’m having contractions!
Help!
Sir Anton!
- The baby’s coming! - What are we going to do?
Sir Anton!
Help us! Please! Celia’s having contractions!
Make a left! We’re going to the health center next town!
Left? No. We should go straight. This road will lead us to the estate hospital.
Sir Anton, it’s Saturday. The hospital’s closed.
What? A hospital that closes on Saturdays? Unbelievable!
Make a left!
The baby’s coming!
Celia? Wait! Hang in there!
What do we do?
All right! We can do this!
Push! There!
Please clean it all the way to the corners. I still see splatters on the side area.
It's seeped into the mat.
It stinks! It might stain!
Hello?
Francis?
Where’s Trisha?
I can’t locate her. I’ve been calling her all night!
Dude, she’s upset!
If you see her, tell her to call me.
Dude, she went to Pagudpud with Biboy.
What is she doing in a beach resort with her ex?
Just get your ass back here!
I am coming home! I’ll be there soon. Tell that to Trish!
Hello? Francis?
- Francis! - Sir Anton…
What?!
This is from Celia’s mother. A token of gratitude.
Thank you.
And...
By the way, they want you to be the child’s godfather…
What?!
They want me to be the godfather?
Isn’t it enough that they messed up my car interiors?
It’ll take a lot of work to get it cleaned up. Blood has seeped into the mat!
It’s disgusting and it smells terrible! And the stains may never come off!
I’m sorry.
You’re sorry?
Do you know that staying here has caused me to neglect my job in Manila?
I may not have a career to go back to!
And it has also strained my relationship with my girlfriend!
Surprised?
Yes, I have a girlfriend, so stop entertaining the possibility that we could be together!
You think I don’t notice things? I know you’re crazy about me!
Did you think I didn't notice that your family and my grandfather are trying to set us up?
You think I’m that dense?
You need to give up the illusion that you and I will prove the legend to be true!
My grandpa is well now, so I’m going back to my girlfriend and my 250 million-peso project in Manila!
What else do you want to hear?
Stop crying, dear.
Mom, why do we waste our efforts on someone who doesn’t like us?
Why are we even hoping that he’ll salvage the estate when he doesn’t even love this land?
All this time the Anton I loved is the one in my memory, and that man is no more.
Come here.
Mom…
Marian, we can’t sell the mangoes at thirty-five pesos.
We need to dispose all the mangoes in the storehouse.
I was there when you closed the deal with Mr. Magsanoc.
Are you accusing me of taking a cut from the sales?
For your information, he issued a check. He didn’t pay in cash.
Marian?
Pedro.
Excuse me.
I am not accusing you of anything.
The market price is thirty-five pesos.
Who will buy from us at that price when our mangoes aren’t sweet?
It’s final! What’s the point of being put in charge if you’re going to question the decisions I make?
You’re even stricter than our landlord. I do not answer to you.
I will talk to Don Alejandro to settle this matter.
I’m sorry. Marian…
Can we ta—
Marian!
Marian, why are you avoiding me? I said I’m sorry.
Marian, I’m going back to Manila.
You are? Good riddance! Goodbye!
What’s your problem? I’m doing the decent thing here.
I don’t think I deserve this treatment.
Me, me, me!
My car’s dirty! My time was wasted!
My career’s on the line! My girlfriend’s upset!
Everything’s about you!
Boy am I glad you’re leaving!
Really?
I hope you realize who you’re talking to.
Of course I do, Mr. Cordero.
You’re the landlord’s grandson, the heir.
Admired and loved by many. Esteemed and served by the people here.
How could I forget who you are?
I never asked to be admired.
And I certainly didn’t ask to be loved by any of you.
So don’t take it out on me.
That hurts.
I’m sorry.
How stupid we’ve all been.
Me, most of all.
We worshipped you.
We kissed the ground you walk on.
We clung to the hope that you'd save this land.
That you'd restore this land to its former glory and save our lives in the process.
Marian, I can't take on that responsibility.
Of course you can’t.
Because your heart isn’t here.
You refuse to let us love you.
Because you cannot love us back.
You justify your stand by claiming that you never ask for anything because you can't give anything.
Sir, this is for you.
- Have a safe trip, Sir. - Come back soon, Sir.
- Please come back. - Take care, Sir.
Bitoy!
Where are you going?
To school.
School? You mean you have classes on Sundays?
No, Sir. But our teacher is waiting for us.
Get in. I can drive you there.
Come on!
This is awesome!
What happened to your school? It looks neglected.
This isn’t our school.
We just come here on Sundays because Ma'am helps us with our homework.
They closed this down a long time ago.
I can see that. But why?
No more students.
Who teaches you then?
- Bitoy, we're about to start! - Miss Marian.
♪ Beautiful land of love, o land of light, ♪
♪ In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie ♪
What did you do with the money…
Ma’am! Sir Anton is outside!
He’s here. He’s outside.
I don’t know what you did to my grandson. But I'm grateful.
He is taking charge of the farm.
- What? - It’s true, Marian.
At least while the decision on his 250 million-peso project has not been finalized.
My dear...
He will benefit from your guidance as he manages the farm.
I hope he draws inspiration from you too.
He will eventually leave us.
Mister Usting...
Why are there no workers in the orchard? The trees are supposed to be sprayed today.
It’s done, Marian. Sir Anton and I started spraying as early as five o’clock.
You used this much…
Inducer?
That was enough. Right, Usting?
For five hundred trees?
Well, Marian...
We sprayed the trees in the southern area as well.
What?
But some of the trees in that area are frail and weak.
It’s been two years since those trees last produced mango blossoms.
Usting...
Did you explain to Mister Know-it-all here
that frail mango trees won’t produce blossoms no matter what you do?
Usting...
Why didn’t you tell me?
You’re the boss.
Grandpa, aren't we supposed to spray the mango trees after it rains?
Yes. You will only waste the chemicals if you do.
If you have any questions related to the estate and farm…
- Yes. - Don’t hesitate to ask.
I have trusted people that can help you, like Usting.
- Usting! - Especially Marian.
She understands every aspect of managing the mango orchard.
She’s a sharp girl!
Usting, what’s going on?
Ask him.
What are you doing? Wear it on your back.
Marian, want some?
Grandpa?
I know there is nothing we can do about the blandness of our mangoes.
But...
There is something we can do to increase the yield.
I’m aware that these methods are new to you, but I want us to give these a try.
There’s no harm in trying, right?
Sir Anton.
Sir Anton...
I’m sorry I’m late. My bike broke.
I’ll take care of it.
That’s why…
Hey, please listen.
All right. Time to go home. It’s nighttime. Go home now.
Thank you, sir! Thank you!
- Gusting. - Sir, have a shot.
No thanks. I’ll pay for the drinks but not for the hospital expenses.
- Have some, Sir. - Thank you.
All right.
You’re just like your grandfather. He avoids alcohol as much as possible.
People say we do have similar traits.
Usting...
Is it really true? The legend, I mean.
The legend? Why, yes!
That’s why it’s important that someone in your family continues the legacy of true love.
Sounds like an old wives’ tale, right? But it’s true, Sir Anton. It is.
Do you think you’ve found true love?
Friends?
Let’s be friends again, please.
That’s the signal!
Wait for me!
Yes, Sir?
She won’t forgive me.
Do you kids want us to be friends again?
Yes!
They want us to be friends again.
Come on. Please? Friends?
She still refuses.
- What a shame. - Thanks anyway.
Let’s go.
Bitoy, wrong spot!
Let’s trade places, hurry.

You’re trying to flatter me.
No. It’s true…

Thank you.

For showing me the world in a different light.

Besides...
This is where all my dreams started.
I’m a simple person in the sense that my dreams are quite simple.
How about you?
My dream is to be known for the buildings and bridges I build.
But I’m not sure.
You know what my dream is?
To have you beside me always.
To grow old with you.
I heard that!
What?!
Marian!
You need to go there.
I am so ashamed, Mom.
How could he have possibly heard? Tell me!
I don’t know. But I’m sure he heard it.
You have to go out there.
No, Mom. It’s embarrassing.
- Excuse me. - Okay, Ma.
Sir, I made you coffee.
Oh no.
Why were you watching this?
Why are you watching that?
This is mine!
No! It’s mine.
Look. It says “Anton’s Graduation”.
This is mine! You are in love with me.
I’m not!
She is!
I’m not!
She is!
- This is mine! - No!
- You love me! - Give it back!
- This is mine! - Give it back!
You love me!
She loves me!
Give it back!
You love me!
Yahoo!
- Give it to me! - No, I won’t give it back!
You love me! You do!
- I don’t! Give it back! - You don’t? Just admit that you love me.
- No! - If you don’t want to admit it, it’s fine.
But I’d rather hear you say that you love me!
I said I don’t!
If you tell me the truth, I’ll return this to you. I promise.
- You love me. - Give it back!
- You love me. - No!
What do you mean no? You love me.
I said no!
If you don’t love me, why have you been sending me mango candies every year for the past seven years?
Why do you watch my graduation video?
Why do you value everything that is important to me?
Like my grandfather and this estate.
And I heard you clearly earlier.
You said you want me by your side always and you want us to grow old together.
Come on, just admit it.
All right. Do you want to play tag?
Tag! You’re it!
I don’t want to!
Hey…
I’m sorry.
But I need to know. Do you love me or not?
Don’t you love me?
Do I?
I do.
It’s sweet!

Anton...
What about Trisha?
I'll talk to her. I’m just waiting for the right time.
Trish?
Anton!
Trish.
Hi.
I missed you.
What are you doing here?
I just wanted to check on you. I was getting worried.
You don’t call me anymore. You never return my calls.
Your cellphone is always unattended.
If you’re mad at me, please forgive me.
It’s okay.
You met my grandfather?
Yeah. He invited me in.
I see he’s fully recovered.
This is Marian.
My friend.
Hi!
Ma’am, please excuse me.
Sir.
Sir...
Anyway, aside from being worried about you,
I came here to tell you the good news.
What?
Your proposal has been approved!
You now have a two hundred fifty million-peso building to build.
And that makes you a soon-to-be multimillionaire.
Guaranteed!
Well, rich boy...
What can you say?
What’s the problem?
Anton’s girlfriend from Manila has arrived.
He hasn’t told her about you?
He said he will, but…
But what?
Come.
Sit with me.
Mom, I’m scared.
I’m happy now...
that Anton chose me.
But is he happy with me?
Why wouldn’t he be?
You’re beautiful, kind, and hardworking.
What more could Anton ask for?
Mom, what if...
What if he gets bored here in the province?
What if he starts missing the kind of life he had in Manila?
Are you afraid that you might lose him?
My dear...
There are things that we will lose in this life.
And it’s going to hurt.
But there are those that you will find again.
If you and Anton are destined to be together,
no matter how big the world is,
love will lead you back.
Killer line, right?
- Come on. Eat something. - Oh, Mom.
Eat this.
All right.
Honey, now we could get married!
Dad will be so excited.
His son-in-law is going to be a big-time engineer.
- And after we get married… - Trish...
I’m sorry.
I’ve grown to love this estate.
What do you mean exactly by that?
Are you telling me that you’re turning your back on that two hundred fifty million deal?
No, no.
It’s not that.
Then what is it?
It’s over.
It’s over between us.
It’s Marian…
I love her.
Dude, what happened to you?
I had our billboard made, by the way. Your name is most visible! You should see it, dude!
And one more thing. I’ve spoken with Mr. Lim.
He told me that if we do this project right, he’ll hire us for another project.
Dude, you won’t believe it. Six hundred million!
Dude, we’ve hit the big time!
I'm telling you!
Wow!
Marian!
Hi.
You’re Anton’s friend, right?
How has he been here?
Happy. Why do you ask?
Nothing.
He’s been acting too weird lately.
Staying here has somehow messed up his plans and his mind.
What made you say that?
Well before he even came here, he already knew what direction to take.
First, he makes a proposal to build a two hundred fifty million building,
and then he makes the building and then he makes a multi-million profit from it,
and then we get married.
Get married?
Yes. Married.
But now Anton’s confused because of this estate.
He is also responsible for this estate.
He is a Cordero, and this land is his heritage.
Yes, he has an estate but he’s also an engineer.
He studied to become one. It’s his dream. He worked hard for it.
And he’s good at it.
Anton may also be good at running this estate.
That hasn’t been proven yet.
He may be good but not to the point of excellence.
His grandfather may have been great.
But not Anton.
He’s never going to be happy here.
This is not his world.
And this is not the place we want to live in!
Grandpa.
Hey. Why are you in a hurry?
I’m going to talk to Marian.
Grandpa...
I’m sorry.
I don’t know what else to say.
Come. Sit down.
Listen…
Even if you leave this place,
You are still a Cordero in your heart and mind.
At least you experienced managing the estate even for just a short time.
And...
Your decision to go back to Manila...
does not offend me.
It isn’t wrong.
What’s important is that you’re going back to Manila with a firm resolve.
What about the mango orchard?
Well, as long as it’s a source of livelihood for people and I’m strong enough to run it,
I will not put the estate up for sale.
Because...
This place is my life.
All that matters in life is finding joy and peace of mind.
That's what's important.
You should go. Marian could be waiting.
Go ahead.
Thanks, Grandpa.
Sir Anton.
Good morning.
Is Marian home?
She’s in the shed.
Ma’am Teresa.
Marian.
Hey!
You’re here.
Yes.
Marian, we need to talk.
I know.
I heard about the major construction project in Manila.
Trisha told me.
Congratulations.
When are you leaving?
Marian…
Is it okay?
If you’re asking me if it’s okay to lose you,
of course not.
It’s going to hurt.
I'm sorry.
You sounded like you’re eager to send me off.
I'm not.
I’m not sending you away.
But I know you have to leave.
No.
I can’t do it.
I can’t lose you, Marian.
Can you turn your back on your project?
Your dreams?
It’s okay.
There will be other opportunities.
What if there are none?
I don’t know.
Marian, I’m confused.
All I know is that I love you.
I love you too, Anton…
More than I can ever express in words.
But I won’t stand in the way of your dreams.
And I cannot bear to see you sad.
So if you’re giving up the project in Manila because of me,
Please reconsider.
Don’t make that sacrifice for my sake.
I promise you that when the project is completed—
Don’t make any promises.
Please, don’t.
I want you to...
I want you to be free.
If you've fulfilled your dreams...
and you still think of me,
and if you return to me
I will be grateful. I will.
Go.

When I told your grandpa I wanted to be a pilot, he was against the idea. But I pursued my dream.
It’s my life anyway and I didn’t want to be stuck in a field I have no interest in.
Naturally, I didn’t object when you told me that you want to be an engineer.
Come on, son.
Do you really think I have no idea how you truly feel?
I am your father, am I not?
I failed your grandpa when I left the estate.
I broke the long-standing tradition of the Cordero Family.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea if you decide to revive the tradition.
Yeah but Dad...
But I finished top of my class.
For years, all I ever dreamed of was constructing buildings and bridges.
And now all those dreams are within my reach.
But are you happy, son?
Francis.
I’m going home.
Hey, I made some revisions on the blueprint. There’s a discrepancy here.
I’m sure it was just an oversight on your part.
- Anyway, it’s just a slight alteration. - I’m sorry, dude.
Francis...
Are you happy with this job?
Dude, this is a dream come true.
Watch your steps, kids!
- I know. - I’m hungry.
- Where do we eat? - It’s hot today.
Let’s have halo-halo! Perfect for the hot weather.
Great!
Marian?
Mom, Grandma...
Thank you.
You've never left my side.
Until now.
- Mr. Cordero. - Mr. Lim.
- How are you? - Good afternoon.
Sit down.
So?
Is there any adjustment that we need to make with the revision I presented to you?
Actually, it’s not about the budget, Mr. Lim.
So, what’s it all about?
Francis, what’s going on?
Anton called for a meeting.
Without even telling me?
Sir, this is Francis.
Oh, Trisha, you’re here.
Send my regards to your Uncle Enrique, okay?
You know, your friend here is really crazy.
Come on, Francis, let’s go.
- Trish. - Anton, what’s going on?
Trish, please be happy for me.
Thanks for everything.
Francis…
You came back.
I left my heart here.
I’ve always had it with me.
Always.
I love you very much.
I love you too.
