Ma’am, May We Go Out?

Three brothers, Dennis Soriano, Chipipoy ‘Chip’ Soriano, and Jeffrey Soriano, scrape by on odd jobs and small gigs, including the occasional jeepney ride, just to make ends meet. Their uncomplicated survival is shaken when a sharp-eyed lawyer named Atty. Aga Agaton reveals a startling secret: they are long-lost heirs to a wealthy American benefactor. The catch is clear and daunting—the inheritance will only come if they finish high school, otherwise the slate will be wiped clean by the lawyer.

With little to lose and everything to gain, the trio enrolls in Rajah Putih High School, where their age becomes a running joke among classmates and teachers alike. Yet their stubborn resilience begins to win people over. After a dramatic rescue of a group of students from a dangerous crowd, they earn a tentative place within a friendly circle. To tackle their academic gaps, they turn to the class genius, Angelo Einstein, a brilliant resource who helps them navigate the toughest subjects with wit and strategy.

Their time at Rajah Putih is a whirlwind of misadventures that shape their unlikely path to adulthood. They push boundaries in ways that are chaotic, funny, and sometimes reckless: inviting a prostitute to a general Parent-Teacher Association assembly, nearly burning the foundation day celebration, and arranging a prom date for Chip that turns out to be a striptease performer. Each escapade escalates tensions with the school principal, while opening doors to new, outrageous ideas that somehow bring in money for the school. Through it all, the brothers cling to the hope that their hard work will translate into graduation and, ultimately, the inheritance they’ve been promised.

Behind the scenes, a darker figure watches the chaos with a calculation that borders on greed. Atty. Aga Agaton has his own plan for the windfall, and he conspires with a loyal associate to secure the prize by any means, including violence. The graduation ceremony becomes a flashpoint as the school recognizes the brothers’ undeniable growth and grit, even as danger looms. In a climactic turn, the trio shares a special honor with Agaton, a gesture of gratitude that takes a deadly twist when the trophy—carrying a hidden bomb—becomes the instrument of fate. The blast claims Agaton and his driver, while chaos erupts on stage, and the hall erupts into a scatter of students and faculty, forever changing the lives of everyone involved.

Amid the fallout, the Soriano brothers emerge from the wreckage with a new sense of purpose. Their journey—from bumblers to determined students, from living on the edge to chasing a legitimate future—highlights the power of perseverance, loyalty, and the unexpected grace found in unlikely alliances. The high school halls that once mocked them become the very place where they redefine their story, turning a supposed lottery of luck into a hard-won inheritance earned through grit, teamwork, and a stubborn refusal to quit.
