MANILA -- The country has a new beauty queen.

Paloma (Coco Martin) successfully bags the crown as Ms. Perlas ng Pasig 2016. Indeed, her efforts have paid off.

Paloma's beauty, graceful walk and wit have all contributed to her win. Besides, she has always been the crowd favorite.

"Paloma! Ang ganda mo!" the crowd screams as she takes a pose.

When the judge announces the result, Paloma notices an old woman who is jumping and screaming out of excitement. It is "Madame" (Gina Pareño) -- the same woman who kidnapped Carmen (Bela Padilla).

After the ceremony, Paloma walks home with the crown and bouquet. A group of young women congratulates her. She is happy, yet she knows that her mission does not stop there.

While Paloma stands at the dark corner of the street, Madame instructs her men to kidnap her. That night, they are lucky. Paloma is not the only woman they can take.
