Part 1

Humanities and Social Sciences

2023
Scene 1
(Angelo and Diego are fist fighting while Marriele and Ronmil are trying
to break the fight)

Narrator: The love of two brothers became a rivalry because of greed and
pride. Fighting over a claim that was left behind. A lust for money and
power, one brother has, while truth and justice, the other craves. The
roots of rivalry will cause an end and be the downfall of a bond that
transcends.

(Horn of a ship being blown)

Kean: As your captain, it is an honour to have you two here as one of

my crew for 20 years, for the sacrifices you two have done as a seaman
and woman. Your daughter must be very proud.

(Kean shakes hand with both of them)

Kean: I wish you well on your journey. (Kean Salutes at them)

Marriele and Angelo: Thank you captain. (Salutes back and walks away)

Narrator: As they travel back, the couple cannot wait to go back home
and return to their province after a few long years. When they got off
of the bus, they were greeted by Angelo's younger sister, Ronmil, who
is a High school Teacher and took a day off to fetch them from the
terminal.

Ronmil: It's good to see you two again. It's been so long.

(The three hug)

Marielle: Maganda rin na Makita ka ulit, Ronmil.

Angelo: Kamusta naman kayo?

Ronmil: Ayos naman. Medyo mahirap pero makakaraos din.

Narrator: As the three arrive back home, Ronmil insists that they rest
before doing anything. But Angelo was too excited to see his lot for he
was planning to make use of it now that he is back home but Ronmil
stopped him.

Ronmil: Sandali kuya. Saan ka pupunta?

Angelo: Pupuntahan ko Ang lote ko, matagal ko na rin yon Hindi na i-

inspection.
Ronmil: Huwag! (Grabbed his arm)

Angelo: (confused) Huh? Bakit? May problema ba?

Ronmil: Uh, Kasi ano… Diba Hindi ka pa nakakapag pahinga. Pagod ka pa.
Matulog ka na muna.

Angelo: Hindi ako makatulog, sobra akong excited. Sige, pupunta muna
ako.

Ronmil: Kuya! Sandali lang muna. Bawal Kasi eh. Bawal talaga.

Angelo: Huh? Bakit naman? Bakit Hindi ko pwedeng Makita Ang sarili Kong
lupa? The land that I inherited from Tatay.May problema ba sa lupa? Did
Christian not take care of it like I asked him to?

Ronmil: Yes, he did. He took care of it. Paid for the taxes and
everything. But I don't think it's best to take a look at it right now.

Angelo: Bakit nga? (Annoyed) wala ka namang sinasabi sa akin eh, paano
ko malalaman Kung Bakit Hindi pwede. Ah, basta, pupunta ako.

Cut to:

Narrator: Ronmil tried to catch her brother's arm but it was already too
late. He stomped all the way to his lot with conviction while his sister
followed suit with worry. When he got there, he saw two people

Angelo: Sino Ang mga taong yan?

Ronmil: Well, you see… (Nervous)

Angelo: Hoy, Sino kayo?!

Emmanuel: Oh, Hello. You must be Angelo, sir Christian's sibling. I'm
Not Emmanuel Bolivar, an engineer, and this is my partner, Kennedy Sale,
an Architect. (Gestures to both of them)

Kennedy: We're here to survey the lot that sir Christian wants us to
check because he wants to build a commercial building here.

Angelo: Ha!? (Angry voice)

Emmanuel: Yes, sir seems to be very excited about the upcoming project,
he already paid for the materials needed. We just need his go signal
before the ground breaking.

Narrator: Overcome with anger about the prospect, Angelo rushed to see
his brother to his house and confront him about his plans.

Cut to:
Angelo: Christian, what is this about you and the commercial building
you want to build on MY lot, that I inherited. You have no right to do
such a thing. Just because you have a lot of money from serving the
army, does not mean that you can do whatever you want! (Angelo shove
Diego)

Christian: Hey! You can't tell me what to do. I'm the eldest. I have the
right to do whatever I want with it and besides, when you were away, I'm
the one who took care of everything, I'm the one who paid the tax, I'm
the one who took care of the lot. (Shoves back)

Angelo: That's because I asked you to! That does not mean you can take
advantage of it. At Isa pa, labag yon sa batas. Ako Ang may Ari no'n,
na sa akin Ang titulo Kaya ako Ang may karapatan.

Christian: Hoy! Alam mo ba Kung ilan Ang nagasto ko sa pag aalaga ng

lupa na ‘yan. Kaya ako Ang may karapatan.

Narrator: Overcome with anger, Angelo charged at Christian with fury

that they began beating one another while Ronmil and Marriele, who heard
the fight, came and tried to break the two off.

Narrator: The rivalry between the two brothers continues to escalate in

the next following weeks, until the two hire an attorney each and issue

blotter and issue a complaint to Christian if he ever trespassed on his
property.
