Datu Rahman (Jaime Fabregas), Jamilah (Barbie Imperial), Omar (Edgar Mortiz), and Norhana (Malou Crisologo) all come together to catch up on the news shortly after the Datu’s publicly released statement.
Quite unexpectedly, Presidential Chief of Staff Ahmad Mustapha (Robin Padilla) appears, grabbing the entirety of everyone’s attention. As a response to Datu Rahman, Ahmad reasons that the Datu’s persistent hiding could render his truth meaningless; hence, he ought to prove it by surrendering to Ahmad in two days.
Different reactions are subsequently expressed by Director Azuelo (Rommel Padilla), Lara (Bela Padilla), Felix (Baron Geisler), and the Muslim residents of Barangay Surga. For Director Azuelo, he gets upset at the escalated situation sparked by Datu Rahman’s announcement.
On the other hand, both Lara and Felix feel uneasy over the situation, as it implies that everything will be over for them, who have been working to fulfill Gen. Carillo’s (Bodjie Pascua) shady schemes.
Finally, for the Muslim civilians residing in Barangay Surga, they rationalize their concerns by saying that it would be better for the Datu to surrender to Ahmad knowing that nobody else truly understands a Muslim but their fellow people.
Before the news wraps up, Ahmad adds that he will await the arrival of Datu Rahman to also prove to the public that he is trustworthy enough.
