MMK “Habal-Habal” episode commenced with Andot (Zaijian Jaranilla) being spanked and reprimanded by his father, Benny (Dominic Ochoa), after he was caught taking part in kara krus, or street gambling. Andot argued that he was only compelled to do so in order for him to buy at least one new clothes. Since there were many of them in the family, not to mention that both of his parents were not earning enough then, it seemed to be impossible for them to give the wants and even the needs of Andot and his siblings.
Despite being just reminded by his mother, Rebecca (Rosanna Roces), that their father was only disciplining him for his own good, Andot still fell into his friends’ bad influence. Aside from teaching him how to gamble, drink alcohol, and play billiards, they also ingrained into his mind that he must not let his father control his life since he’s already a grown-up. His parents soon learned about his shenanigans, which led to a heated altercation between Andot and Benny, in which Andot boastfully told his parents that he could already stand up on his own and that they could already forget that he is their son.
True to his word, Andot indeed departed from their home and went on to live with his friends, as well as worked as a habal-habal driver in order to prove to his parents that he could indeed live on his own. Rebecca tried to convince him to go home but he was so stonehearted and drove her away.
Andot's (portrayed by Zaijian Jaranilla) desire for independence and control over his own life pushes him to tread a dangerous path. But just when he gets the freedom he yearns for, a tragedy ultimately changes his life.
