(css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] Hey Mom. Sorry, I literally just came out of the Deloitte interview. I think I stuttered during the first five minutes in, but I’m sure I nailed it. What’s up? (mouseover-append: "up?")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[SKYLAR] Wait mom, I can’t understand you, you’re kind of coming in and out of the line.

(css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] Wait, how did this happen? Or when did this happen? So they took her into ER last night? How are you feeling? Did you get enough sleep? (mouseover-append: "sleep?")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[SKYLAR] I'm so sorry, Mom. It's just . . . there's a lot of things I wish I could say to her now that I couldn’t do before.

What the hell, mom! Why didn’t you and dad watch her more closely!

I ― I’m sorry, mom, she just . . . she meant a lot to me, even though we haven’t really spoken a lot lately . . . [[Next page >>|Scene1_04]]]

(css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] Have you made the funeral arrangements yet? Oh when’s the funeral. Really? I told you already, I literally had to beg Jimmy for the GreenGlow interview, and I literally need this, or I have to wait another six months. (mouseover-append: "months.")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[SKYLAR] I bought concert tickets that weekend . . . but I guess I could just sell them online.] (mouseover-append: "online.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] That doesn’t add up. So what if my cousins from the Philippines can only make it that weekend? I have never even met them in my entire life, and they’re just coming now to see Lola? So stupid.

(css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] What I could do is come to the funeral and leave the next day in the morning for my interview in LA, so yeah, I could definitely make it.

[[Next page >>|Scene2_07]]]

(css: "background-color: #0038A8")[SKYLAR] Well, I mean, we’re glad you think this is cool, but this is dad and yours’ idea of “cool.” I think the three of us are a little bit more “advanced,” and are more into what’s going on right now in the media. (mouseover-append: "media.")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[LIANNA] Really? Well, I find that hard to believe. You three used to be really into the cultural dances back in grade school, what happened? ] (mouseover-append: "happened?")[ (css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] You have to see where we’re all coming from. Like the Filipino clothes that they were wearing and even the music, it’s so . . . backwards. I mean, I get tradition, but there are some traditions that died for a reason. [[Next page >>|Scene2_08]]]

(css: "background-color: #0038A8")[LIANNA] Well, I have no words for the three of you. Your best bet is to hope that your father doesn’t hear any of this. Because the three of you know that it’s disheartening to hear, and I was born in the states like all of you. (She departs) (mouseover-append: "departs)")[ (css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] Don’t worry, she’ll get over it.

(mouseover-append: "friend.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] (To his friend while pointing his camera to the audience) Jeez, Lola never did learn how to scan and and digitally file photos, so that explains why our house looked like a shrine even before she died.] (mouseover-append: "died.")[ (He points camera towards photo) But jokes aside, she never lost her style and her finishing touches. It’s almost as if with this photo, she’s still here with us . . . somehow.] (mouseover-append: "somehow.")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[LIANNA] [[JASPER! >>|Scene2_10]]]

Each of them receives a phone call from their mother informing them that their Lola passed away. [[Next page >>|Scene1_02]]

SETTING: Amid the mourns of their beloved matriarch, the three siblings enthusiastically prepare for dinner time at their family house. AT RISE: Lianna is preparing the food in the kitchen, Whitney is helping Skylar prepare the utensils in the dining room, while Jasper is watching television in the living room. [[Next page >>|Scene3_02]]

(css: "background-color: #0038A8")[LIANNA] Hey guys, dinner’s ready! (mouseover-append: "ready!")[ The Rizal family then chooses a spot in the dining room. Unexpectedly, Ambros comes to the dining room. Immediately he is greeted by his wife [[Next page >>|Scene3_03]]]

(css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] So guys, where did your cousins go off to? (mouseover-append: "to?")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] They wanted to go shopping, so I dropped them off at the mall like right after the service.] (mouseover-append: "service.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] You left them there by themselves? This is their first time in the states, what if something happens to them and you’re not there to stop it?] (mouseover-append: "it?")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] Dad, chill. Nothing’s going to happen. [[Next page >>|Scene3_04]]]

The family then proceed to devouring their Jollibee dinner (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] (Sarcastically) So, Whitney, how about that accounting internship that you’re trying for? Greenglow? And it’s in Los Angeles? (mouseover-append: "Angeles?")[ (Skylar hits Jasper in the arm)] (mouseover-append: "arm)")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] Ano ang sinabi mo?

(css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] Dad, I’m just branching my options, I need to get started with my career, and I’m not going to get it if I am stuck here in this house. (mouseover-append: "house.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] Ah, so that’s how it is now. You think leaving your family will give you happiness?] (mouseover-append: "happiness?")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[LIANNA] Ambros, we’ll talk about it later. So kids, I know we just held a funeral service for your Lola, but it just so happened that your daddy and I are celebrating our 30th Anniversary together.] (mouseover-append: "together.")[ Lola really loved it when she taught you all how to dance the Filipino cultural dances, and your father and I would really appreciate it if all of you performed in front of our Filipino relatives, since they are already here.

(css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] Honestly ― (mouseover-append: "―")[ (css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] Jasper.] (mouseover-append: "Jasper.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] Well, I feel that it’s incredibly outdated to do our childhood dances. Like I’m pretty sure even the Philippines think it’s incredibly outdated. Plus look at the things we have to wear. Wearing see-through shirts and grandma clothes? Yeah I’d die before anyone sees me in these.] (mouseover-append: "these.")[ (css: "background-color: #0038A8")[LIANNA] (Pshht) Jasper! [[Next page >>|Scene3_07]]]

(css: "background-color: #0038A8")[SKYLAR] Not to mention, we literally have something called technology? Like you could literally send one of our old clips during our childhood without embarrassing us as adults. (mouseover-append: "adults.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] Like c’mon, we’re not savages! Why do we have to dress like we’re from the 1900s?

(css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] Don’t tell me I don’t understand my own culture and how it’s not practiced in today’s world! Beneath the clothes are not just blood, sweat, and tears shed but the values that kept us going as a family. (mouseover-append: "family.")[ Your lolo and lola did not have the privileges you guys have right now.] (mouseover-append: "now.")[ My parents cherished these “ugly clothes” because it gave them a sense of pride ― the pride of being who they are and not someone who they’re not supposed to be.] (mouseover-append: "be.")[ (css: "background-color: #CE1126")[JASPER] It’s fine, we’ll wear the stupid clothes ― [[Next page >>|Scene3_010]]]

(css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] That’s not the point! You guys don’t get it! You think wearing these clothes and practicing these dances are a punishment. (mouseover-append: "punishment.")[ (css: "background-color: #000000")[WHITNEY] No dad, it’s just that we have a lot to do. You understand, right? We’re just working hard on our careers, just like you did, when you left the Philippines for the States! [[Next page >>|Scene3_011]]]

(css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] You think I wanted to leave my four siblings and your widowed Lola! (mouseover-append: "Lola!")[ I was the man of the house when I was only 12 years old!] (mouseover-append: "old!")[ Out of the family, I was the only one who was able to come to the states, not to better my career, but to work my ass off just so that your Lola and my siblings could live another day!] (mouseover-append: "day!")[ (He sighs and leaves the room; on his way, he finds a broken frame) [[Next page >>|Scene3_012]]]

(css: "background-color: #CE1126")[AMBROS] And I’m assuming one of you broke this photo frame? (mouseover-append: "frame?")[ What a shame? That was a photo of your Lola during the Hukbalahap Rebellion.] (mouseover-append: "Rebellion.")[ For a second, I hoped and prayed that I was wrong about you all. And it breaks my heart to see you all reject the fruits our ancestors died for so you could enjoy them.
