Synopsis

Bernie (Edu Manzano), and Helena’s (Agot Isidro) marriage is about to dismantle. However, their witty and mischievous children Paolo (Paolo Contis), Paula (Paula Peralejo), Carlo (Carlo Aquino), and CJ (Ceejay Ramos) will not let it happen. In order to save their parents’ marriage and family, the children team-up with two hilarious factory workers Domeng (Babalu), and Mokong (Redford White). Will they succeed in letting their parents re-learn the value of acceptance and family?

Plot

Bernie and Helena had a dysfunctional marriage due to Bernie's playboy behavior and his secretary flirting with him.

Domeng and Mokong were fired from their jobs with Bernie after accidentally being rude and falling asleep due to overnight tasks. They tried to find work in various places, but Bernie was always the manager, whether at a construction firm or a country club, even while they acted as blind beggars on the street. This worsened the situation, leading Domeng and Mokong to seek revenge by robbing Bernie's home.

When Domeng and Mokong tried to hide in the trunk of a car, someone locked them inside. The car was then driven by Bernie to his vacation house in Baguio, with his secretary, unaware that Mokong and Domeng were hiding in the trunk.

Meanwhile, Bernie and Helena's marriage continued to worsen. Their kids tried to help by convincing Helena to follow Bernie to Baguio. When they arrived at the vacation house, Helena and her kids caught Bernie having an affair with his secretary and confronted them.

Bernie and Helena's kids left the house, taking the keys to the house and vehicles with them. They said they wouldn't give the keys back or unlock the house unless Bernie and Helena resolved their issues.

Mokong and Domeng finally escaped from the car. Believing that Bernie's family had left, they entered the house, unaware that Bernie and Helena were inside. They saw the kids driving the van and, upon entering the house, confronted Bernie and Helena.

When Bernie and Helena were cornered, Mokong and Domeng began robbing the house and escaped. Meanwhile, Bernie and Helena finally resolved their marriage problems. While their children were driving, they encountered Mokong and Domeng's vehicle, causing them to lose control. The van went to the edge of a cliff, on the brink of falling.

One of the kids managed to escape from the van and saw Mokong and Domeng. They went to the van and saved the rest, and then Bernie arrived to help. The kids survived, but the van fell off the cliff and exploded.

As a sign of gratitude, Bernie decided to give Mokong and Domeng their jobs back.
