("You Had Me Hello" instrumental by Olivia Holt was played in the background)
Luca: We're gonna have the best winter vacation ever!
Giulia: Philippines! (pointing the Philippines on the map) This is where we're going.
Alberto: It'll be a dream come true to travel the world, starting with that.
This winter
The Paguro and Marcovaldo families went to the airport in Genoa.
The families buckled up on their seatbelts with the Underdogs sitting together
Daniela: I'm not sure if this is safe
Lorenzo: We'll be fine as long as we don't reveal ourselves as sea monsters.
The plane took off as Luca, Alberto, and Giulia's bodies got pushed into their seats.
Brand new place
The plane landed at Manila International Airport
The Paguro and Marcovaldo families got out of the airport with their bags as Luca looked around with the sun shining above him.
Luca: So this is the Philippines. It's beautiful!
A butterfly then flew above, blocking the sun.
Brand new enemies
With the other kids playing Sipa, Luca tried to kick the washer with colorful plastic straw with his foot in front of him, but he tripped down, accidentally kicked the washer in the air, and hit a boy on the head, who was sitting on the table at a café.
"Filipino boy": Hey! Who did that?
The other Filipino children pointed at Luca, Alberto, and Giulia. Alberto was helping Luca get back up on his feet.
When the boy came closer to the Underdogs, a filipino girl rolled by with her old-fashioned roller skates, pulling a wagon tied by a rope, and came between them
"Filipino girl": Leave them alone, Paolo! I'll take it from here.
Luca, Alberto, and Giulia quickly hopped on the wagon as the girl dragged them along.
Luca: Why are you helping us?
Giulia: Underdogs have to stick together, right?
"Filipino girl": Under-huh?
Brand new friends.
"Filipino girl": Hi, I'm Mariposa!
Luca: I'm Luca!
Giulia: I'm Giulia. (tilting her head to Alberto beside her) This is Alberto
Alberto: (handshakes Mariposa) Piacere, Girolamo Trombetta
Mariposa: What does that mean?
At Mariposa's house, she led the Underdogs inside.
Mariposa: This is my pamilya
Her parents turned around, revealing that her father wore a soldier's uniform, her mother wore an apron, her older brother and sister "wrestled" each other, and her cousin was sitting at one corner, writing something with a book as her table.
While Luca, Alberto, and Giulia were sitting at the dining table, the three noticed a set of different types of guns were settled at another corner
Alberto: What do you think he kills with those?
Mariposa's father: Anything that can scare and hurt my family.
He stabbed a knife on the picture of three of the Philippine mythical monsters: Manananggal, Aswang, and Tiyanak.
Luca spat water on Alberto's face revealing partially his se monster form, and causing Luca and Giulia to gasp, and they both pushed Alberto down under the table while Mariposa and her family turned to check on them.
The Underdogs got back on their seats with Alberto's face all dry, and they grinned sheepishly. A tuxedo cat then appeared in front of them, narrowing his eyes and growling at them.
Mariposa: You tourists? I can show you around what the Philippines can offer.
Mariposa showed the underdogs how to eat Halo-Halo, playing Piko, and watching silent Philippine movies at a movie theater.
The four children then rode on horses, and raced against each other, which Luca tried to hold on. At night, they were now sitting on a strong branch of a tree.
Mariposa: No one wants to be friends with a weird-o like me
Luca: We can be your friends.
The underdogs moved closer beside Mariposa.
The Underdogs then tried to follow the steps of the Philippine dance, the Tinikling with Mariposa guiding them. Luca and Alberto played Sipa by kicking the washer in front of them as Luca passed his washer to Giulia, and Alberto passed his washer to Mariposa. Both girls kicked the washers behind them. The underdogs then performed a musical number on-stage with Mariposa playing the piano while singing, Alberto played the electric guitar, Giulia played the acoustic guitar, and Luca played the bass drum set.
Paolo and his two friends confronted Luca, Alberto, and Giulia in a dark alley while holding their shotguns.
Paolo: Something's fishy with you three, (pointing at Luca and Alberto) Especially you two boys.
The Underdogs looked around while taking a stroll in the streets.
Luca: I don't think we can do this
In a fishing boat, Luca and Alberto avoided touching the water of Manila Bay, while Giulia shielded them from anything wet.
Alberto: We got this. We just have to lay low
Mariposa's mother pointed the shotgun In front of her.
Mariposa's mother: Aswang!
Luca, Alberto, and Giulia threw themselves down and covered their ears as the gun fired.
Luca and Alberto ate the whole plate of pork adobo with their bare hands while Mariposa and her family stared confusingly. Giulia shrugged while grinning sheepishly.
Giulia: It's more fun in the Philippines. But Portorosso is still our home
Mariposa: Stick with me, and you'll be safe, mga kaibigan.
Luca, Alberto, and Giulia put their hands together in front of them.
Luca, Alberto, & Giulia: Underdogs?
They looked smilingly at Mariposa, insisting her to join them. Mariposa smiled as she put her own hand on theirs.
Mariposa: Underdogs
LUCA GOES TO THE PHILIPPINES.
Coming soon.
