Sypnosis: Tbonx “Gising” after a near-miss accident on an early morning commute, Nico begins leaving handwritten notes on jeepney routes that ask strangers one question: What would you do if today were the day you finally woke up? His quiet ritual draws three very different souls into his orbit, a nurse running on empty shifts, a street busker afraid to write his own songs, and a barista who hides a painter’s hands. Each encounter nudges Nico to face the night he has avoided since his brother’s passing. When the city’s power grid fails at dawn, the four are forced to navigate a sleepless Manila together, trading secrets in the dark until sunrise reveals what they have been too scared to see. The twist lands at first light: the notes Nico leaves are copies of a question his late brother asked him every birthday, a promise he never kept. By choosing to honor that question with action, Nico finally forgives himself, and the others choose their own awakenings, the nurse rests and returns, the busker debuts an original song, the barista paints the first canvas in years. Gising is a tender ode to ordinary courage, where waking up is not loud or sudden but a series of small, honest choices that change the day and, eventually, a life.
