Bomba movies of the 1970s and 80s

I just saw Brocka's TUBOG SA GINTO last night. Eddie Garcia should be commended for taking a risk for that kind of role! Man, sure its tame by today's standard but I considered that a breakthrough in his entire filmography.
Did it suffer from rough sailing with the censors?
Noel_Vera:
Eddie's dressed up in several films. Much prefer this to Brokeback Mountain.
keating:
Eddie Garcia was also excellent in gender-bending comic roles. Was TUBOG the first Filipino film that deals with homosexuality, Noel?
It was unusual also for Lea Prods. to produce such kind of film.
jdv1229:
it's kinda weird when at the end credits of Tubog Sa Ginto it said from LEA Productions A Proud Tradition For Wholesome Entertainment! there's nothing wholesome about Tubog... ;)
Noel_Vera:
We were dealing with homosexuality as far back as Jack en Jill, in 1954.
