Ang kanyang ama, si Mang Teodoro, ay isang masipag na construction worker. Bagama't magaspang ang mga palad nito dahil sa semento at bakal, ito ang pinakamalambot na kamay na humahawak kay Elias tuwing gabi habang tinuturuan siyang magbasa. Masagana ang kanilang hapag—hindi dahil sa luho, kundi dahil sa pagmamahal at malinis na kita. ​"Anak, sa graduation mo, ikaw ang pinakamapoging engineer sa entablado," biro ng kanyang ama habang sinusukat kay Elias ang isang bagong biling puting Barong Tagalog. Iyon ang huling gabi ng kanilang tawanan. ​Araw ng graduation. Maagang umalis si Mang Teodoro para tapusin ang kalahating shift sa site para may pambili ng handa. Tanghali na nang sumakay siya ng bus sa Aguinaldo Highway, bitbit ang isang maliit na box ng relos—regalo niya para sa pagtatapos ng anak. Ngunit sa kalagitnaan ng biyahe, ang kalsada ng Cavite ay naging battlefield. Dalawang itim na sasakyan ang humarang sa bus; isang Mafia war ang sumiklab sa gitna ng trapik. ​Sa ulan ng bala na hindi para sa kanya, tinamaan si Mang Teodoro. Namatay siyang yakap ang box ng relos at ang pangarap para kay Elias. Sa entablado, tinawag ang pangalan ni Elias, ngunit walang amang lumitaw. Ang puting Barong na dapat ay simbolo ng tagumpay ay naging saplot sa lamay. Doon nagsimulang mamatay ang liwanag, at ang dating masayang pamilya ay napilitang pumasok sa madilim na mundo upang mabuhay. ​[ENGLISH VERSION] ​Before Elias’s world turned gray, Bacoor was a paradise of simple dreams. His father, Mang Teodoro, was a hardworking construction worker. Though his palms were calloused from cement and steel, they were the softest hands that held Elias every night while teaching him how to read. Their table was abundant—not because of luxury, but because of love and honest earnings. ​"Son, on your graduation, you’ll be the most handsome engineer on that stage," his father joked while fitting Elias with a newly bought white Barong Tagalog. That was the last night of their laughter. ​Graduation day arrived. Mang Teodoro left early to finish a half-shift at the site to save money for a small celebration. By noon, he boarded a bus along Aguinaldo Highway, clutching a small watch box—his gift for his son’s achievement. But mid-journey, the roads of Cavite turned into a battlefield. Two black vehicles blocked the bus; a Mafia war erupted in the middle of traffic. ​In a hail of bullets not meant for him, Mang Teodoro was hit. He died hugging the watch box and his dreams for Elias. On the stage, Elias’s name was called, but no father appeared. The white Barong that was supposed to be a symbol of success became his garment of mourning. That was when the light began to fade, and a once-happy family was forced into the underworld just to survive.
