(OK) Brocka puso tudo este "Amanecer" filipino, a contracorriente en la explicación de que el campo es origen de dramas que se prolongan en la ciudad (aquí el recuerdo es idílico, a diferencia del melodrama indio o egipcio que incuba el mal en el campo), pero la ciudad añade la sordidez y -sorpresa filipina- la prostitución masculina en 1975.
