Storyline
100 years after the defeat of the local troops under Gen. Miguel Malvar in the Philippine-American War, the people of a BatangueΓ±o town would have lost its character typified by the Tagalog term "barako", meaning brave or courageous. Much worse, they have become subservient to their corrupt leaders who have been taking advantage of their ignorance and poverty. But they are slowly swayed to a new liberal direction by a small coffee club called "barakuhan" whose organizers see in it a reawakening of their native courage.
