CGiii Comment
Chionglo dishes up more on the dancing underworld of Manila - expect more hard luck stories accompanied by awful music and excessively camp characters.
Think cheap soap opera that goes on and on - lots of buttocks and gyrating bodies disgrace the screen, endlessly.
There is no accomplishment here.
