Katrina (Manilyn Reynes) requested from her eccentric boyfriend to fire
Dr. Mateo (Ogie Alcasid) from the zoo. Because of Sam's (Marc Abaya)
love for Katrina, he followed her request. Dr. Mateo could not do
anything but to accept the truth. Everybody were very sad upon knowing
this. They know that Dr. Mateo is a kind man. They have been working
with him for a very long time already. Back at Mateo's house, Cherry
(Ruffa Mae Quinto) was already asking Mateo for marriage. She do not
mind that Mateo do not have a job anymore. All she wants is that she
would get married with the man she is obsessed with. Mateo answered her
that he is not yet ready for that especially now that he do not have a
job. Meanwhile, Daldalita (Jillan Ward) pity Dr. Mateo because he lost
his job. She knows that it was not rightful. He was only removed because
of a certain favor. Back at the zoo, Daldalita went to visit her animal
friends. She went up to them one by one telling her farewell. Together
with her were Daisy theDcuk (voiced by Candy Pangilinan) and Bobby the
Pig (voiced by: Wally Bayola). The animals in the zoo were very sad
because they would not see the bubbly child everyday. But Daldalita
assured them that there is nothing to worry about since she would visit
them if she finds time to pass by the zoo. She told them that even if
DR. Mateo do not work there anymore, she would visit them. Daldalita
expressed that there is only one person left that she haven't said
goodbye in the zoo. And that is none other than Katrina. But the child
remembered that there is no use letting her know that they were leaving
because she is the reason that her father Mateo lost his job. Meanwhile,
Sam was scheduled to have a press conference and show the media the
gorilla from Somalia. But he told his staff that they are only going to
placed a fake gorilla inside. That means that a person would be acting
like a gorilla. They would have a fight in the cage and later on he will
win the match. When the show had started, Sam and the staff thought
that the gorilla inside was the man they hired. But hat is actually
inside is a real one. Marga (Julie Anne San Jose) bumped into the man
who was supposed to play as the gorilla. She noticed the props in the
bag of the guy. The guy then explained to her the purpose why he was
bringing that costume. Marga was then alarmed because she knows that the
show have already started. And if she is facing right now with the
supposed- to- be gorilla and then it only means that the gorilla in the
show is the real one. SYNOPSIS: Couple Mateo and Carmela live a simple
