Set during the 1969 Philippine House of Representatives elections, it follows the motive of "guns, goons, and gold."[2]

Reception

The film won the 1978 Gawad Urian Award for "Best Editing" by Ben Barcelon. It was also nominated in those awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay of 1978.[3] It was an official entry in the very first Metro Manila Film Festival.[4]

In 2004, the Philippines government film office lauded the movie as "Another Eddie Romero masterpiece" that closed the annual retrospective of classic films.[2]

When Romero died in 2013, the TV network ABS-CBN cited the film as one of his four most important films.[5]
