Plot: Three women who come from different backgrounds work hard to earn a living in Manila, but realize that they are victims of sexual exploitation. A television producer is forced to have sex with her boss in exchange for an opportunity to produce a new programme; it almost costs her marriage. A temporary teacher and her colleagues are sent by their principal to give a dance performance at a ministry officer's birthday party and they are gang-raped or almost gang-raped by the officer and his guests. A bus-ticket seller accidentally kills one of the men who tries to gang-rape her, but all the passengers who witness the scene refuses to go to court to help her fight the murder charge. Although the three women do not know one another, they end up taking the same bus leaving Manila and heading to the rural area.
