00:04 Sir?
00:11 What is it this time, Mika?
00:13 Sir, I want to be a part of Alegria Bay.
00:16 Just like everybody else.
00:18 Sir, I know you're all tired of me.
00:21 But when I was accepted to Pacifica, I did a self-study in Urban Development
00:25 because I know that sooner or later, I'll be accepted to this huge project, Pacifica.
00:30 And if I'm the one you'll choose, I'll make sure that you won't regret your decision.
00:36 Okay.
00:39 Sir?
00:41 Okay, everybody, listen up.
00:43 I know that many of you want to be a part of Alegria Bay.
00:49 But our business as usual when we approach our regular projects is we assign people.
00:57 So to make sure that the best of the best will be assigned to this project,
01:01 we'll have a designing contest in-house for everyone.
01:05 And when I say everyone, it means anyone can do it.
01:09 You have one week to submit this.
01:14 Doc?
01:18 [music playing]
01:19 Yes!
01:23 I did it!
01:26 I did it! This is my chance!
01:29 I'm so excited and I'm also challenged at the same time.
01:33 But at least, we know that the selection will be fair and we'll just do our best, right?
01:40 Yes, and we need to make sure that our brains are working.
01:45 You're so cheap. You gave me one week.
01:48 I know, right?
01:49 It's good that I started my design studies for Alegria.
01:53 Oh, I have one! Do you want to see it?
01:56 Wait, you have design studies already?
01:59 Yes, I was so excited when I heard about the project.
02:03 So I made some sketches.
02:06 Here it is.
02:07 It's not obvious that you're excited.
02:11 But you know, I've been thinking a lot about where I should put the commercial spaces, corporate offices,
02:18 and also the high-end residential places.
02:21 But overall, I'll do concentric urban planning.
02:26 So here, these will be my main roads.
02:30 And then, the wide walkways aligned with trees will be perpendicular to it.
02:36 Here it is. This will be my solution to the biggest problem in the Philippines.
02:41 How is it? What do you think?
02:43 It's beautiful, Nics.
02:46 Really?
02:48 Thank you.
02:50 Alegria, you'll be in pain too.
03:04 Ma'am, what's this?
03:06 We're not done yet.
03:07 I know what you did. I know your secret.
03:10 The truth is about to come out.
03:14 That came from an anonymous sender.
03:20 Someone blackmailed you.
03:23 I don't know what he wants, what he needs, or what he knows about me.
03:32 Did you say anything about us?
03:34 Ma'am, nothing.
03:39 My only friend is Joseph.
03:43 But Ma'am, he doesn't know you. And he can't do this.
03:49 We should be careful.
03:53 We shouldn't be seen outside.
03:58 And can you please not tell this to your friends? Is that clear?
04:04 Yes, Ma'am.
04:06 So, we have reviewed all the Alegria Bay designs that you have passed.
04:25 And we have chosen the person to lead this project.
04:28 First on board, because of his innovative and imaginative power layout,
04:35 Darwin Makatangay.
04:40 Congrats, bro! Congrats!
04:44 Second and last on board to lead the project
04:51 for the concentric designs and pedestrian-friendly layout.
04:56 And circular main roads that are perpendicular to the walkways.
05:01 The slot goes to
05:03 Carlos Maracigan.
05:09 Congrats, bro!
05:14 You're awesome, bro!
05:18 Congratulations!
05:19 Congratulations!
05:25 Sir, I'm sorry. I hope I didn't get it wrong.
05:28 What do you mean, Ms. Aquino?
05:31 Because, Sir, that's my design.
05:33 Concentric design, then circular main roads, perpendicular to the walkways.
05:37 That's mine, Sir.
05:38 In your opinion, with all the people who have passed, it's impossible for you to have the same.
05:44 But Sir, I was the first one to get that idea. Concentric urban planning, that's mine.
05:48 It's 1920s, they're using it, it's a design.
05:51 Don't be too self-centered, Mika.
05:53 Okay?
05:55 Not only you,
05:56 but also the one who can come up with brilliant ideas in my office.
06:00 And besides,
06:02 the people who chose Via Laurenti,
06:04 the coach, decided this.
06:09 [music]
06:11 You did this before,
06:17 and you did it again?
06:18 Nics, no.
06:20 I didn't copy your design.
06:21 Maybe Sir Marcelo made a mistake.
06:23 Never mind, I'll go talk to him.
06:25 Yeah, right.
06:26 Nics.
