MANILA -- Instinct is perhaps one of the most overused tools in decision-making. While following our instincts may lead us to a positive ending, it is not always trustworthy.<figure class="op-interactive"><div style="padding-top:66.375%"><div id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_1_Container"> <ivs-player id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_1" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-vid="1482997" data-ivs-floating="1"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/iframe-parent.js"></script> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script> </div></div></figure>When Serena&#x27;s (Liza Soberano) luxury car stopped at the corner where call boys wait for prospective clients, Tenten (Enrique Gil) immediately assumed that she is looking for some &quot;good time.&quot; Maybe drink wine, tell stories, and have sex.[<a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/19/16/dolce-amore-serena-tenten-finally-meet" target="_blank"> &#x27;Dolce Amore&#x27;: Serena, Tenten finally meet</a> ]Serena only asked Tenten if he can help her find the way to the hotel. But Tenten, who wants to earn money for his sick father, mistook it as a hidden message used by call boy seekers. He allowed his instincts to take over.&quot;Can you go all the way?&quot; the beautiful lady asked. &quot;Are you sure you can do this?&quot;&quot;Yes, ma&#x27;am!&quot; Tenten replied.Upon entering the car, Tenten thought he might as well enjoy the experience. Serena is young, beautiful, and very rich. Apart from the possibility of getting a huge tip, he would also have a chance to be in bed with someone stunning, and yes, hot.He was both nervous and excited at the same time. He kept on observing Serena, wondering why such a beautiful girl would need a boy to keep her warm that night.&quot;Baka naman hindi siya babae?&quot; he asked himself.A thorough inspection answered Tenten&#x27;s question. Serena is a real girl.&quot;Kapag pinagpala ka nga naman! Hokage level ang ganda,&quot; Tenten thought.When they arrived at the hotel, Tenten volunteered to carry Serena&#x27;s luggage. He insisted, even though his &quot;client&quot; refused.&quot;It&#x27;s free of charge,&quot; he quipped before winking.Since Serena recalled how her beloved nanny Nanay Melds (Frenchie Dy) described Pinoys -- hospitable, helpful, and kind -- she allowed Tenten to help her. She even asked him to enter her room and take some rest.But Tenten, who was so lost and confused, continued to misinterpret Serena&#x27;s actions.&quot;Magbabanyo lang ako before, you know,&quot; he said.While Serena dressed up for her meeting, Tenten tried to freshen himself at the rest room.He headed to the couch, then removed his sando and pants. He tried to do a sexy pose to entice Serena, but started to feel guilty. Besides, he has always been a good person.As soon as he decided to wear again his clothes and leave the hotel, Serena came in with a taser, which she used on the almost naked Tenten.&quot;Pervert!&quot; she screamed.Tenten regained consciousness when the hotel&#x27;s security dragged him to the police station.Although he tried to explain himself, no one believed Tenten. They even made fun of his difficulty in pronouncing &quot;s.&quot; The supposedly fun and sexy night turned to be a disaster.Instead of spending the night lying on a soft bed with a lovely woman, Tenten ended up sleeping on the cold concrete of a jail cell, with goons.
