Rating: - NEVER SEEN ANY FILIPINO MOVIE LIKE THIS BEFORE!
Wow! I would like to thanks first the person ( my friend ) who gave me this movie as a birthday gift. I don't really cares about watching this kind of movie but one day I don't have anything to do at home being alone so I played the movie (DVD) and watched it. I like this movie especially the actor's did a good job even I don't understand the words or the language at least a subtittle movie. I wish I can find more movie like this and I heard that they have more filipino movies made the same but different story. Thank you! Buy this movie very interesting.
Rating: - An honest film. Marvelous
This film is honest to goodness depiction of real life situation of gay men in Philippines. The actors are somewhat handsome although these are just the average actors that are not really famous in their country.
