Synopsis 2:
ROSA owns a small community convenient store connected to their home
in the slums of Metropolitan Manila. Together with her husband, NESTOR, they
use their convenient store as cover-up for selling illegal narcotic, Methamphetamines.
their fate changes one Saturday night when their neighbor BONG-BONG, who works
as a fly-by-night parking attendant, begs her to sell him a small pack of
Methamphetamine without knowing that it’s a ploy for a pending buy-bust
operation leading to Rosa and Nestor’s warrantless arrest by a police team led
by Sergeant CASTOR.
The policemen command Rosa to rat-out their source of illegal
narcotics as trade-off to their freedom. Hesitant, she has no choice but to
call JOMAR, and cooperate with the policemen. But despite latter’s arrest, the
policemen inform Rosa and Nestor that they still need to pay 50,000 pesos for
their freedom. Backed against the wall, Rosa seeks help from her children,
JACKSON, RAQUEL and KERWIN as they do the unthinkable. Jackson sells all their
appliances while Raquel painstakingly borrows money from their poor relatives.
On the other hand, Kerwin sells his body to his gay benefactor – all of these
just to buy the freedom of their parents.
