I remember first time watching Maynila Sa Kuko Ng Liwanag back in high school in one of the local channels...it was an afternoon coming from school, sa ch 13 yata or 9, just surfing channels tapos nadaanan ko & decided to watch for a few minutes since walang ibang magandang palabas...what happened next, I got so hooked to the dialogues & natural acting, ate my merienda in front of the tv then the ending...ahhhh! i got goose bumps sa emotions ni Bembol Roco (este Rafael Roco at that time) sa last sequence! Hinanap ko sa betamax sa suking rentahan. Meron pa bang ganyang kalidad ng pelikulang pinoy ngayon?
