What happens

Kapag Puno Na ang Salop (lit. 'When the Ganta Is Full') is a 1987 Filipino action film directed by Arturo San Agustin and starring Fernando Poe Jr. (also producer), Eddie Garcia, Paquito Diaz, Jose Romulo, Dencio Padilla, Roy Alvarez, and Rowena Moran. Produced by FPJ Productions, the film was released on November 26, 1987. Critic Luciano E. Soriano of the Manila Standard gave the film a positive review, praising the dialogue and Poe and Garcia's performances which elevate its formulaic plot. Kapag Puno Na ang Salop was followed by two sequels: Ako ang Huhusga in 1989, and Hindi Ka Na Sisikatan ng Araw: Kapag Puno Na ang Salop Part-III in 1990. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
