Written in Filipino and with the concept of “art imitating life” as its springboard, Tolentino candidly discourses on the prevailing stereotypes that are ascribed to Pinoy movie icons and how this ascription mirrors existing sociological norms and cultures. The book speaks about how society and the present political climate help mold the current bida sa pelikula to embody the dreams, aspirations, and hopes of a people and their country.
