i know misogyny when i see one, in different forms and shapes, internalized or not, victim blaming, and rumors spread out like a wildfire in towns— only a vengeful trifecta could set her free. however, you can't straight-up despise her mom or her mom's lover… or her lover even for they are what they are when we attempt on humanizing their ulterior motives— despite all the horrors she had to go through— despite of a monster they become. various dialogues in the film are still relevant in the contemporary filipino household under poverty, marginalizing whatever privileges women have while dealing with men who can't stop their sexual urges.  philippine cinema is not dead!
