In the Philippines, a security guard loses his job at a shopping mall. He is very angry. The man goes back to the mall. He brings weapons. He shoots a person. He takes other people hostage.

The police come. They talk to the man. After hours, the police come into the mall. They rescue the people. They injured person goes to hospital to recover. The man goes to jail.
