I didn't know how to grasp this strange film for a long time. There are many acting roles in it, while the main character of the whole film is the very likeable Ronnie Liang (played by Maria/Galoga), who is gradually surrounded by a number of, often strange people, including women with penises or gays, a diverse mix of Manila residents. Apparently, you need to see the film twice to make sense of everything, but above all, the film appeals for society to better perceive individuals with different variants of sexual orientation. And everything is presented deliberately and with an eye for detail as a Pall Mall of the bizarre, vampirism, often silly characters and strange humor.

Tento zvláštní film jsem dlouho nevěděl, jak jej uchopit. Je v něm prostoupeno hodně hereckých rolí, přičemž hlavní postavou celého filmu je velmi sympatický Ronnie Liang (hraje Maria/Galoga), který je postupně obklopen řadou, mnohdy divných lidiček včetně žen s penisem či gayů, pestrou směsicí obyvatel Manily. Zřejmě je potřeba vidět film dvakrát, aby vše dávalo smysl, ale především snímek apeluje na to, aby společnost lépe vnímala jedince s různými variantami sexuální orientace. A vše je podáno schválně a s nadhledem jako pall mall bizáru, vampírismu, mnohdy přihlouplých postav a zvláštního humoru.
