Let's travel Palawan in Douglas' eyes.
Douglas Alejandria, a son of Cuyo's Vice Mayor, decided to leave their hometown and live alone and work his ass out to live in Coron. It was all good until one tourist came and changes the course of the world f...

When the plane Cory boarded left the island, I feel like a part of me left, too.
I drove back to our house with lots of thoughts running around in my head. Letting her go would be a wise decision I did, even though I really don't want to see her go, I cannot stop her. Those words I said to her, I hated myself for blurting those words out. If she hated me, I get her point.
No one would like to stick around with such an annoying boy.
Pagkarating ko sa bahay at maiparada ang sasakyan sa garahe, pagkapasok ko sa loob ng bahay ay nadatnan ko ang magulang ko kausap ang mga Vilacarte sa salas. They y were all looking at me as if they were waiting for an answer since the moment I rushed out of this place, it wasn't good.
I shook my head giving them the information that I wasn't able to stop Cory from leaving. Their shoulders dropped as soon as they got that news from me. I joined them in the living room and sat across them. I put my hands on my face as I felt so much disappointment in myself. I was on it for a few seconds until I felt arms hugging me.
When I removed my hands from my face and saw Jonathan and Hayley.
"We're here with you, Douglas..."
"Nandito kami... hindi ka namin iiwanan... kahit iniwan mo kami noon," patawa pa nito para lamang gumaan ang pakiramdam ng bawat isa.
"Salamat..."
Tinapik ni Jonathan ang balikat ko saka sila bumalik sa pwesto nila. Umayos ako nang pagkauupo ko at huminga ako nang malalim. After what happened yesterday and earlier this morning, I really don't know what to do and say to these people in front of me.
"I'm sorry," was the first word that came out of my mouth. "When I found out that Cory could be the lost Vilacarte, I was really positive and hopeful. Hindi ko sinasabi 'yon sa kanya dahil baka nagkakamali lang din ako. I could hurt her if I told her that. Assuming that it could be true and it's not, would totally hurt her. But I still ended up hurting her."
Mom came to my side and sat on the armchair while rubbing her hand behind my back.
"You did what you think was right, hun," she started. "Every person has different reactions when it comes to truth. Cory might not be able to understand it now. You said, what, it has been twenty years, right? Tama ba ako?"
Tumingin din siya sa mga Vilacarte at tumango sila bilang pag-amin.
"It wasn't easy for her, too, and we should understand where she was coming from," Mom continued. "A lot of things happened to her that we literally have no idea about. We just met her, knew her name, and then her story. That's all we know and not the twenty years she has been struggling to."
"Mali rin siguro namin na ipinaampon namin siya no'ng napadpad kami sa Maynila," pagkukwento ni tita. "Sa hirap ng buhay namin noon, hindi namin maisip kung paano namin siya ibubuhay no'n."
