- Ouch! - Sorry!
Oh!
I want to see one.
You won't find any here.
Ma, are you okay?
Yes.
You've got a better chance in the countryside.
That's where you'll find them.
The air is cleaner there.
How do I find them, Ma?
You really want to know?
I'll tell you.
The island is real, Ton.
How will I get there, Ma?
People say the enchanted island is in Ticao.
In Bicol.
Ticao?
Let's find it, Ma!
Of course!
You're lucky I still remember the map!
First, you'll see the fairy with a very long dress
and a white crown touching the sky.
As long as you can see the fairy,
you're heading in the right direction.
After the fairy,
you'll pass a sneezing giant.
When it sneezes,
all the rivers fill with water.
Achoo!
Do you think I'll make it, Ma?
Wait, do you doubt your own mother?
I promise, when we get there,
we'll be welcomed by bright lights!
You promise?
Promise!
- For real? - Of course!
Oh?
What a good boy.
Bananacue! Freshly cooked!
Merry Christmas, son!
Ma…
Please, son.
So she could be brought home to Bicol.
Wait, why are you even asking?
Have some respect.
Are you even our relative?
Auntie Linda?
Auntie Linda.
- Auntie Linda? - Oh?
Hey. Come in!
Auntie Linda.
Are we taking Mama to Bicol?
Um… I don't know yet.
It may take some time.
Wait, hold on. Here.
Here, have some biscuits.
- Auntie Linda? - Yes?
Can't we go to Ticao?
Yes. Hold on, Tonton.
Here. What?
There's some coffee inside if you'd like some.
- Auntie Linda. - Ton! Stop it!
I'm busy!
Let's talk about it some other time, okay?
Not now.
Hello! Welcome…
So, I'll get to Bicol in the morning.
I'm just waiting, Ma.
- "Elay"? - I'm waiting for the bus.
Yes, Ma. Yes, okay.
Oh! Are you sure?
Gosh, thank you so much!
You know, someday, we might see each other again.
I promise I'll repay you.
- Thanks again! - Sure, no problem.
- I'm happy to help a fellow backpacker. - Yes, thank you! Here's the photo.
Cut it out!
Man,
don't be fooled by that girl.
Mind your own business!
What's your problem?
at the…
the…
the bus station.
Kid,
Let's take this kid to the village captain or to the police.
We might get in trouble.
Police?
Gosh!
So many angles.
I'm running out of film.

I wanted to go to Saudi.
Mister Louie,
what's in Saudi?
Mister Louie, your house isn't that far from here, is it?
Why not just go?
My sweetheart! My love.
Why didn't you tell us?
Who are they?
You know,
Miss Carmen seems like the type of mom
Wow!
I knew you'd be the one to take me to the island, Billy.
My mom's name is Elay too.
What do you think?
I don't know, darling.
All I want
is to make it to Ticao safely.
We'll drop the boy off.
Just let the cops pass us.
Feeling grouchy again?
No.
You were mean to Tonton earlier.
It wasn't on purpose.
We shouldn't feel so down.
Look at this!
Look into my eyes
Can't you see?
What?
Me?
I'm flying up in the clouds
Come with me
It's true. I was just kidding earlier.
Tonton. Hey.
I don't know why they still went with me.
Let's see.
I'll ask around over there.
- You can look here. - All right, Mister Louie.
See you later.
Ma'am.
Is there an island of fireflies around here?
- Fireflies? - Yes.
Is that a resort?
How about a stone island? Dark island?
Anything like that?
- I'll try that way. - All right.
Is there a stone island,
or a hill of stone,
or a stone man around here?
Sir, you're kidding, right?
- Can I borrow this? - Sure.
Excuse me.
Miss, have you seen a kid walking around?
Announcement.
There is a missing child. Please report if seen.
- Sir,
You'll get there.
Tonton.
We made it, Ma!
Ma, help me.
Even now, there are days
when I can still hear them barking.
Days when I'm still afraid…
of what I did.
Then I saw my mother.
I said, "Stop it!"
Stop it!
So I…
I reached for whatever I could find.
To hurt him.
Ma!
I don't remember what happened next.
I just know we made it to Manila.
My mom did her best to raise me
even though it was difficult.
Help me! Ma!
As for my father,
no one really knows what happened to him.
I still don't know.
I'll put it over here so we're all in it.
