“KUBRADOR”
Directed by: Jeffrey Jetturian
We only have one life, and a life with a simple and ordinary existence can be challenged by luck and death. Just like the game of luck in “Jueteng,” we have many chances to win the jackpot by always trying and wishing. However, we cannot get whatever we want without hard work. We must not only hope and try; we must weigh our choices in life and work hard to achieve happiness and contentment.

While having an exit from the chief’s office another police officer called her to bet.
The next day, Aling Amy returns on her routine. On her way, she saw an owner jeep and thought it was the police officer who apprehended her last day.

She couldn’t remember where she passed through, she saw a man and she followed him until she had exit that place. When she remitted her collection to her handler (kabo), she found him unwell at home and then asked her to attend a jueteng draw on his behalf.

But when he arrived, he announced that the draw was cancelled and declared the winning numbers from the jueteng financier.
Amy went home tired that night, her husband Mang Eli told her that he forgot to give her their neighbor’s bet which is one of the winning numbers. She had no choice and pissed off went back to her handler and borrow money in able for her to pay her neighbor.
A massive crowd greeted Amy and her family as they draw near the cemetery. They saw Glenda, Eric’s girlfriend, on his grave offering flowers for her dead boyfriend. Still pissed off with her husband, Amy left and wandered around the cemetery to cool off. Suddenly she heard a fight. Two vehicles figured in a crash.
