During his phone conversation with Erica (Kaila Estrada), Edong (Jake Cuenca) discloses that the watch was not Louisa’s (Mutya Orquia) but was stolen from a lady’s bag in the public market. Erica freezes, unsure what to say. Edong notices, feeding Erica’s guilt further, emphasizing that she may have still allowed innocent people to be accused and arrested.
Erica tries to reason out that even if they tried to make Edong (Renshi de Guzman) appear innocent, the people and authorities around them say otherwise, with the majority having issues with Edong over another murder and drug abuse. With their vulnerable ages ranging from 15 to 17, Erica (Krystal Mejes), Mel (Reich Alim), Beth (Allyson McBride) and Alice (Eliza Borromeo) were easily coerced and threatened into agreeing to the false allegations against Edong during the corrupted interrogation led by Celestino, the town’s top police officer.
The girls were victims of justice, just like Edong. To name a few, Celestino would cite “obstruction of justice” if they refused to cooperate, accuse the group of drug use, and has threatened to take away Beth’s college scholarship.
