During college days I was so scared to enter in a fraternity because of the negative news about it. I admit that I'm one of those fun of PUP Pylon Run that was traditional done by the members of one of the fraternity inside the university. This film will let you in inside fraternity and the Marco's dictatorship and cruelty and its impact to that generation.
Sid Lucero (Mark Gil) is a Zoology student (the campus location probably UP Diliman) enter into a fraternity call AKO which in order to pass as brad they need to enter into initiation rites. Face the masters on nude, swallowing saliva, all in the name of brotherhood.Physical abused is not an issue but psychological pressure and stress resulted to members owned deterioration. Test and Courage is how fraternity defined. And what the media refuses to show was what Mike de Leon pictured in his film, the death and riot is not inside the AKO, its the rival group.
There are some scene shows in which this brutality emerge. When one of the neophyte sit in a torture chamber and on that seat he will only answer Yes or No and when it is wrong, he will be electricute, the smoke of Marcos dictatorship appear:
MASTER: Nakabuti ba sa bayan ang Matial law? Sagot?
This is the result of Marco's legacy. Violence inside the mind of the youth.
