From junk collector to escort services in a club

The plot was slow moving and the music was overwhelming at times but the story was there if you take the time to watch. A sad narrative on the life of a young woman who collects junk to recycle for a living. Real life is simple and exciting for our star until she gets pregnant. Unable to handle the stress and responsibilities of motherhood she turns to a brothel where they help her eliminate the pregnancy. She thrives as an escort after struggling with the first encounter. The nudity and all that goes with it is not that enticing to be honest but it does portray the impact of the struggle.

Another of the Pinoy movies didn't really appeal to me. Yes, we see that Oliver and Chito need to earn money, a warm twisted half-old man who owns a brothel makes a smile, but that's about it.

The film is not only from the gay area, Melissa Mendez is constantly shaking her tits, at first you will have to wait a long time for some plot, and mainly what bothered me about this processing was that everything was "just like" (the boy washes himself with a cup of water, including his hair, and doesn't actually wash it, the fight of the guys is just an embarrassing farce and I could go on).

Despite the fact that the story of the film is still good and I was a little interested, the other components of the evaluation are quite weak for me and I rather do not recommend the film ..
