MOVIE PHOTOS:

In 2010, Sen. Gabriel Alcaraz prepares a privilege speech

 revealing details of a corruption scam at the highest levels

of the government, implicating President Genoviva Obrero.

However, on the day he is prepared to deliver the speech

 at the Senate, a close ally, NBI director San Juan,

 is assassinated while trying to warn him of a plan

 to arrest him.

 Undaunted, Alcaraz leaves his family and slips out of the Senate

complex just as a police detail led by his old colleague,

 Director Dante Cristobal, move in to serve the warrant.

 in on his location. The discovery of his whereabouts

triggers his wife's stroke as Cristobal and Limchauco separately

fly to the Netherlands to find him.

 tickets to fly back to the Philippines.

Approximately 10,000 hours - one year, one month, and one week -

 after leaving the Philippines, Alcaraz flies back by

private plane and reunites with his family.

 He plays over Maya's news show an audiotape Jago

preserved for years, which names many corrupt

government officials.

However, nearly all of them are dead under various circumstances

 silenced by a prison guard.

tells President Obrero that another of the named

officials is about to die of a stroke.
