we need to know!
picture this: it's the mid-1980s, and an entire family well known for their various contributions in metro manila (especially during martial law), has disappeared without a trace, one by one.
you've listened to the testimony and read family friend abe barcelona's statement on paper. you can't believe what you've just discovered. colegio la dolorosa (CLD), san nicolas hospital, and puso ng tahanan real estate enterprises are directly involved in this case.
you feel angry, confused, and irritated with mr. barcelona's everchanging recollection of events.
he's hiding something. you feel like, if you just read and watched the evidence, dug deep into the lives of these people, and formed an opinion for yourself, you would understand the truth.
so what the fuck happened?
you and countless others are, of course, entitled to this compensation for the truth, having been victimized either by the reveal of dr. ramona kara's heinous crimes, prof. kamil kara's involvement in the murder cases within CLD, or the shutdown of puso ng tahanan RE ent. due to the disappearance of its CEO jacinto rosas. or maybe you had an unexplainable encounter with young liesel kara in the height of those murder cases, or attended one of lu rosas's rally-concerts.
these people had an impact on you—negative or positive— and you deserve to read the truth, to watch it with your own eyes.
the sources still exist. they aren't in the hands of institutes nor colleges nor hospitals. they are, if you take young crisanto's word for it, waiting to be seen, deep within the house itself.
in fact, everything remains untouched in the house. abandoned, but unbothered. you don't question why no government official has decided to take the things in the house as evidence to this day.
the script for balantagi—the film prof. kamil kara and his niece liwayway rosas worked on—along with its cursed unfinished footage on vhs. ramona kara's log entries, the paranormal discoveries she made within her victims' bodies. the homemovie (turned confession) tape from jacinto and betty rosas's rumored final moments. betty rosas's will. the diary of matriarch fatima kara, containing everything about kamil's childhood as christ's reincarnation.
(is it real? how would you know it isn't?)
go on. do it! the people want to explore, to know. you want to know. you deserve the truth. climb that house's walls, sneak in, take a look around. the house is not going anywhere.
it's been waiting for you.
you need to know.
