CGiii Comment

Esoterika: Maynila is replete with all the vices that most filmmakers are all too ready to pounce on with their judgmental eyes for all the world to witness with shock and reprehension. However, Perez treats these vices as color. He celebrates the chaos and the madness. He champions love of whatever kind.
