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.

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.

KERWIN as they do the unthinkable. Jackson sells all their appliances while

the freedom of their parents.
