Two boys, Ersel and Lino, were childhood best friends for three years. One day, while Lino went to visit his grandparents with his parents for several days, Ersel suddenly goes to Manila with his parents without even leaving a word or letter, making the former sad and angry. Ten years later, the two suddenly meet again as college students. How will Ersel make up to Lino for disappearing without a word ten years before? Will their friendship go back to the way it was? Or will their meeting trigger a new emotion - love?

Back to Our Paradise

By 8:00AM, all of the arnis practices were over, so Coach Cesar commanded for everyone to assemble properly. 


With his hands on his waist, Coach Cesar said, “Thank you very much, everyone! It was really great meeting and practicing arnis with all of you! So, please be reminded also that our training and practices will be in this same gym every Tuesday and Friday from 6:00AM to 8:00AM. We will meet again next week since I won’t be here this Friday. Is that understood?” 


“Yes!” everyone, including Ersel, replied out loud in unison. 


“Okay, that’s great!” Coach Cesar said cheerfully with his hands still on his waist. “Everyone, thank you very much for participating today! You’re all dismissed!” 


Once they were dismissed, everyone proceeded to change their clothes in the locker rooms. 


“That was really nice, man!” Omar said to Ersel while both of them were changing their clothes inside the boys’ locker room. “You were really awesome!”
