A few years ago a sequence from the 1997 Filipino comedy film I Do? I Die! (D'yos Ko 'Day!) went viral and remained popular ever since.
The main characters in this sequence are Bernardo 'Bernie' Mendiola (Edu Manzano), Domeng (Babalu) and Mokong (Redford White).
Bernie is the owner of an antiques shop, and Domeng and Mokong are his employees.
One morning, Bernie fired Domeng and Mokong after catching them sleeping on the job.
Bernie made the decision without knowing that Domeng and Mokong were tired from the overnight tasks assigned by the shop manager (Joji Isla).
Instead of getting a bonus for their sleepless shift, Domeng and Mokong started their quest to find a new job.
In a country club, the manager (Cesar Mozo) told them to wait for the meantime while he is looking for the club's president.
The duo encountered a golfer who keeps on missing the ball.
They threw insults on this golfer; Domeng advised him to use a basketball instead of a golf ball while Mokong said he should just pick the golf ball and throw it away.
The club manager then approached the golfer, who turned out to be Bernie.

After being introduced as the club president, Bernie laughed at Domeng and Mokong.
With renewed hope following the missed job opportunity at the club, Domeng and Mokong chanced upon a long line of applicants at a construction site.
They fell in line only to find out that Bernie (again!) is the owner.
As they tried to find another job, Domeng and Mokong saw beggars who are asking for alms from motorists.
Domeng and Mokong had a lightbulb moment and dressed as beggars tool.
Domeng reasoned out to Mokong that begging is a profitable venture.
He added that there would be no boss like Bernie neither taxes.
They chose a car and tapped on the window.
To their consternation, the car owner turned out to be Bernie (again!)

Domeng and Mokong then resolved to seek revenge against Bernie.
Their attempts to get back at Bernie set a chain of hilarious misadventures toward the end of the movie.
Following is a portion of the movie which includes the sequence.
