"24.2. Lino Brockan filippiiniläiselokuva kertoo ikävästä maailmasta, jossa raiskaus on aina naisen syy - mitäs pitää jotain hepeniä ja on ALASTI suihkussa.

Tällaisessa maailmassa naisella ei ole paljoa muita vaihtoehtoja kuin hyödyntää miestä oman elämänsä turvaamiseksi. Tämä on sitten tottakai moraalisesti arvelluttavaa."
