Even more upset, she finds out that Dang will want to move out of the Philippines to Australia. Leaving her alone in the Philippines since all her children moved out, Shirley decides to move to New York City with her youngest and only son, Mark Salvacion. Mark is unaware, however, that this supposed vacation of his mother is actually a permanent visit.
