After being cheated and defeated by his classmate bullies in a race, Bubuy is forced to treat them with snacks but he is unable—making them upset, they instead challenge him to go the woods at dawn, in which he reluctantly agrees.

Bubuy arrives home sad at the outcome of the race and refuses telling his grandparents, Lolo Miong and Lola Nita what troubles him. When it’s dinner, he excuses himself “to work with a project” at a classmate’s house and that he will return soon, bidding them goodbye.
