The film tells the story of quadruplets (all played by Vice Ganda) separated as infants. Two (Girl, Boy) were raised by their father (Marquez) in the United States; the other two (Bakla, Tomboy) stayed with their mom (De Belen). Conflict arises when the US-based siblings discover that “Boy” is afflicted with a liver disease and needs a transplant. They come home in search of their two other siblings in the hope that one could be a suitable donor. This leads to a series of hilarious events that may or may not unite them as family. “Nothing is more important than a united and happy family,” says Deramas. Marinel R. Cruz
