What happens

Dugo ng Pusakal (transl. Blood of the Criminal) is a 1988 Filipino action drama film directed by Manuel 'Fyke' Cinco. The film stars Anthony Alonzo, Eddie Rodriguez, Jean Saburit, Dante Rivero, Paquito Diaz, Romy Diaz, Zandro Zamora, Lito Anzures, Mon Godiz, and Dick Israel. Produced by Filipinas Productions, it was released on October 27, 1988, as part of the Chamber of Progressive Filipino Motion Picture Producers Film Festival. Critic Lav Diaz gave Dugo ng Pusakal a mixed review, stating that the film's numerous forced scenes lessened the quality of its focus on character psychology. Diaz would later become the co-writer for Cinco's 1993 film Galvez: Hanggang sa Dulo ng Mundo Hahanapin Kita. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
