Plot
editAndres, Dominic, and Miguel are college students at Cayetano Curimao College, which faces imminent closure due to severe financial difficulties and a decline in moral standards. In a desperate attempt to raise funds, the faculty tasks them with organizing an alumni homecoming event. However, the event falls flat as most returning alumni have failed to achieve significant accomplishments, rendering the fundraising efforts ineffective. Determined to save their beloved school, the trio decides to enter a televised quiz show, through the help of one of their teachers, Miss Yulo, aiming to win the jackpot prize to clear the institution's debts.
As they travel to the studio, they uncover a sinister plot: someone has planted a bomb under their bus, intending to sabotage their mission. With quick thinking and teamwork, they manage to deactivate the bomb, arriving at the studio just in time. Against all odds, Andres, Dominic, and Miguel win the quiz show, securing the funds needed to rescue their college from financial ruin and restore its reputation.
