00:14 Your horizon has a green light.
00:16 You're not the leader of the project.
00:18 Why did you give me the project, Nika?
00:21 Don't you like it?
00:22 Because of what happened to us.
00:24 Is that how you really feel?
00:26 Happy birthday, auntie!
00:29 You're not the one to talk, auntie.

13:41 Where did you sleep last night?
13:44 With Andrea.
13:48 It was sudden.
13:50 She had an emergency,
13:52 so I went to her right away.
13:54 Why didn't you answer my calls?
14:01 I didn't bring my phone.
14:05 Sorry, I couldn't say goodbye. It was sudden.
14:08 Have you eaten?
14:24 Do you want breakfast?
14:27 I'll cook it for Lydia.

14:39 ♪♪
14:49 ♪♪
15:01 Sir?
15:02 Yes, Nika?
15:04 Sir, I know you gave the Horizon Mall to Kaloyan, but--
15:07 You're still there?
15:09 Sir, I just wanted to know--
15:11 No, no!
15:12 You'll learn your place, Nika.
15:14 You're doing Grounds for Insubordination.
15:17 You do know that, right?
15:19 Sir, please, listen to me.
15:21 When I was still working at Golden Mall,
15:24 I made sure that all departments,
15:26 from the supermarket to the retail department--
15:29 Can you just get to the point?
15:31 I'm going to the site visit.
15:33 My point is,
15:35 you'll benefit from my acquired knowledge and skills
15:38 over the years if I'm the one you put here at Horizon Mall.
15:42 And I'm sure that I'll be able to help the company.
15:46 Are you done?
15:48 I'll do it.
15:49 Did you ever play basketball?
15:53 Have you ever heard about gymnastics?
15:54 Or any sport, rather.
15:59 In basketball, you can't do anything you want.
16:03 You have to follow the coach's game plan
16:07 because he or she sees the bigger picture.
16:10 And that is how the team wins.
16:12 If you want to help the company,
16:15 do what you're told.
16:17 Okay?
16:20 Is Ma'am Via the coach, sir?
16:23 Ma'am Via is the owner of the entire basketball team.
16:27 Okay.
16:28 You can have that.
16:41 It's a waste, Ma'am. It's beautiful.
16:44 If you want it, you can have it.
16:46 And next time, don't accept flowers or anything
16:50 if you don't know them.
16:52 Understand?
16:54 Okay.
16:56 Okay.
16:57 Okay.
17:00 Nice flowers!
17:12 Who brought those?
17:14 From your new lover?
17:16 You're not even nervous about your dad's replacement?
17:22 Let me guess.
17:24 Another rich, powerful old man?
17:27 Is he the reason you got your Alegria?
17:32 I'm working for Alegria.
17:36 Yes, you're working for him.
17:39 The question is,
17:41 who is your employee?
17:43 And how?
17:45 I heard you two are always together with Victor Tamayo.
17:50 Is he the reason why Alegria was awarded to Pacifica?
17:54 Even if he didn't pass the bidding,
17:56 is that even legal?
17:57 Why do you seem unhappy?
18:00 It's like you don't want Alegria to continue with Pacifica.
18:05 If you really care about this company,
18:09 you should be the one who should be happy.
18:12 I'm happy as long as the method is clean and legal.
18:18 Because if not, it will only drag the company down.
18:23 We don't want your project to be the reason why Pacifica went down, right?
18:32 I hope you're the only one who went down.
18:40 Don't include us.
18:46 You're so negative, Trina.
18:48 You don't have any connection with this company.
18:53 So if there's nothing else to say,
18:57 the door is now open.
18:59 You can go.
19:02 Thank you.

19:37 Sir?
19:49 What is it this time, Mika?
19:51 Sir, I want to be a part of Alegria Bay.
19:54 Just like everybody else.
19:56 Sir, I know you're tired of me.
19:59 But when I was accepted to Pacifica,
20:01 I did a self-study in urban development because I know,
20:04 I'm sure that sooner or later, Pacifica will receive a project this big.
20:08 And if I'm the one you'll choose,
20:11 I'll make sure that you won't regret your decision.
20:14 Okay.
20:17 Sir?
20:19 Okay, everybody, listen up.
20:21 I know that many of you want to be a part of Alegria Bay.
20:27 But our business as usual when we approach our regular projects,
20:31 is we assign people.
20:35 So to make sure that the best of the best will be assigned to this project,
20:39 we'll have a designing contest.
20:41 In-house, for everyone.
20:43 And when I say everyone, it means anyone can.
20:47 You have one week to submit this.
20:52 Doc?
20:56 Yes!
20:57 Yes!
21:00 Yes!
21:03 Yes!
21:06 Yes!
21:08 Yes!
21:10 Yes!
21:12 Yes!
21:14 Yes!
21:16 Yes!
21:18 Yes!
21:20 Yes!
21:22 Yes!
21:25 You gave one week?
21:26 Yes.
21:27 It's good that I started my design studies for Alegria.
21:31 Oh, I have one! Do you want to see?
21:35 Wait, you have design studies already?
21:37 Yes, I was so excited when I first heard about the project.
21:41 So I made some sketches.
21:44 Here it is.
21:45 You don't look excited.
21:48 But you know, I've been thinking a lot.
21:51 Like where I'll put the commercial spaces, corporate offices,
21:56 and the high-end residential places.
22:00 But overall, I'll do concentric urban planning.
22:05 So these will be my main roads.
22:09 And then, the wide walkways aligned with trees will be perpendicular to it.
22:14 Here it is.
22:15 This will be my solution to the biggest problem in the Philippines.
22:20 How is it? What do you think?
22:22 It's beautiful, Nics.
22:24 Really?
22:26 Thank you.
22:28 There, Alegria, you'll get sick too.
22:33 Ma'am, what is this?
22:43 We're not done yet.
22:45 I know what you did. I know your secret.
22:48 The truth is about to come out.
22:51 It came from an anonymous sender.
22:58 Someone blackmailed you.
23:01 I don't know what he wants, needs, or what he knows about me.
23:08 Did you say anything about us?
23:12 Ma'am, nothing.
23:18 My only friend, Joseph.
23:21 But Ma'am, he doesn't know you.
23:25 And he can't do this.
23:26 We should be careful.
23:31 We shouldn't be seen outside.
23:35 And can you please not tell this to your friends?
23:41 Is that clear?
23:43 Yes, Ma'am.
23:45 [music playing]
23:47 So, we have reviewed all the Alegria Bay designs that you have passed.
24:02 And we have chosen who will lead this project.
24:06 First on board, because of his innovative and imaginative power layout,
24:13 Darwin Makatangay.
24:18 Congrats, bro!
24:21 Second and last on board to lead the project,
24:25 for the concentric designs and pedestrian-friendly layout.
24:32 And circular main roads that are perpendicular to the walkways.
24:37 The slot goes to
24:41 The slot goes to
24:43 Carlos Maracigan.
24:48 [applause]
24:52 Congrats, Carlos!
24:53 Congratulations.
25:03 Sir, Sir, I'm sorry.
25:04 I didn't mean to get you wrong.
25:06 What do you mean, Ms. Aquino?
25:10 No, Sir. That's my design.
25:11 Concentric design, then circular main roads, perpendicular to the walkways.
25:15 That's mine, Sir.
25:16 In your opinion, with all the designs that have been passed,
25:20 it's impossible for you to have both.
25:22 But Sir, I was the first one to get that idea.
25:24 Concentric urban planning. That's mine.
25:26 It's 1920s. They're using that design.
25:29 Don't be too self-centered, Mika.
25:31 Okay?
25:33 Not only you,
25:34 but the one who can come up with brilliant ideas in my office,
25:39 and besides,
25:40 Vio Lorente is the one who chose these people.
25:42 The coach is the one who decided this.
25:47 You did this before.
25:55 You did it again.
25:56 Nics, no.
25:58 I didn't look up your design.
25:59 Maybe Sir Marcelo made a mistake.
26:01 Never mind. I'll go talk to him.
26:03 Yeah, right.
26:04 Nics.
26:06 [music]
26:07 Ma'am Via,
26:18 I'm sorry.
26:19 I'm really invested in this Alegria Bay.
26:23 Since your announcement,
26:26 I've been researching on possible innovative designs.
26:30 And I think,
26:31 I think I did well in my design.
26:35 So I just want to know
26:37 why you didn't choose me.
26:40 Well, part of my job is to build a team
26:44 which I believe and think that
26:47 is suitable for certain people in certain projects.
26:50 And,
26:52 I hope you don't think less of yourself because I didn't choose you.
26:57 Oh,
27:00 is it because
27:01 I'm a woman?
27:04 What made you say that?
27:05 Maybe because
27:09 I know what I'm capable of.
27:11 That's why
27:13 I don't have any other explanation
27:16 other than my being a woman.
27:19 And I know
27:21 that this construction is a world of greatness.
27:26 But you know, Ma'am,
27:30 I think that it's too high for you.
27:33 Because you are the boss here.
27:38 That's why I thought that you would be more aware of the struggles of the female employees here
27:44 because,
27:45 because you are also a woman.
27:47 And I'm sure
27:51 you can do everything that men do here.
27:55 Maybe even better,
27:59 maybe even better.
28:00 Maybe I just want to give you a chance.
28:06 Okay.
28:11 Yes.
28:14 [music]
28:30 Well,
28:31 for you to just barge into my office demanding an explanation from me,
28:36 I saw and I can feel your hunger
28:43 and your passion.
28:44 And so,
28:47 I just want to say
28:49 congratulations.
28:51 You are a part of Alegria Bay Project.
28:57 Oh my gosh.
29:00 Oh my gosh.
29:02 Ma'am, thank you so much.
29:04 Thank you.
29:05 I promise I won't give you a hard time.
29:07 I will do my best.
29:09 I will give my all for this project.
29:11 Thank you, ma'am.
29:12 Thank you.
29:13 Thank you.
29:14 Thank you.
29:15 Congratulations.
29:16 [music]
29:37 [music]
29:48 Wait, wait.
29:50 What do you want?
29:51 Is Mrs. Mia Laurente here?
29:53 Why?
29:56 I don't know what's going on here.
29:58 Olivia Laurente,
30:03 you have been arrested for the murder of Ramon Laurente.
30:06 What?
30:08 What are you talking about?
30:09 Act 2.
30:11 You have the right to remain silent or to remain silent.
30:14 Whatever you say,

31:40 There is no space for criminals in Pacifica.

31:46 Ma'am.
