His Mother is far from amused by his situation.

Meanwhile, his employers, a large building company with overseas interests, recognise his potential and provide him with a welcome escape route by sending him to one of their building sites abroad in the Philippines.  However, within only a few hours of his arrival, Jack is involved in an incident with a local pimp, come drug dealer that causes local administration chaos, resulting in the site being temporarily closed down!
