Benny (Nico Antonio) and Lydia (Nikki Valdez) continue to escalate the hostage situation, making use of Yui’s livestream to alert the public of what they believe is the exchange of the Philippines’ sovereignty with Japan through the ongoing investment deal.
Marcus (Richard Gutierrez) ultimately takes charge of the negotiation, causing Lydia and Benny a sense of unease. Benny does everything he can to console Lydia, reminding her that when the clock strikes two, their daughter Jennie will be released by her abductors, who are the henchmen of General Solares (Eric Fructuoso), one of General Carillo’s (Bodjie Pascua) accomplices.
At the same time, they can also release the hostages, but Lydia begins to cry, not wanting to die. Benny pushes her to stay strong, then further reassures her that they are not going to lose their lives as they are doing every effort possible to save Jennie and surrender to the authorities after.
One Japanese man comprehends the pair’s predicament, especially the fact that they weren’t planning to murder any of the tourists since they had simply been forced to act as terrorists in order to keep Jennie alive.
The same tourist stands up and discloses the truth to everyone else, ultimately showing his compassion. While the others get more emotional, Yui’s mother also extends her understanding of Benny’s and Lydia’s plight.
Will Benny's and Lydia’s truth reach Task Force Alpha and the news? Find out in “Blood vs Duty,” streaming on iWant and airing weeknights at 8:45 pm on ABS-CBN sa ALLTV2, A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL).
