* AntiHero: The very plot of the movie involves our heroes kidnapping the school {{bully}}. Characters like Paolo, however, especially embody this trope, possessing unpleasant qualities or prejudices outside the fact that they're criminals (e.g. classism, homophobia).

* LoveMakesYouDumb: Paolo severely compromises their plans just so Yssa won't break up with him. For all his flaws, the boy is clearly ''genuinely'' in love with the girl. [[spoiler: [[SixthRangerTraitor She's not nearly as ride-or-die as he is, with the ending implying that ''she'' was the one who reported her own boyfriend and his companions to the police.]]]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Uy and Paolo are ThoseTwoGuys, but also constantly at each other's throats, to the point that Blanco asks them how the hell they became best friends in the first place.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Visayan viewers surely groaned at Mark saying that he's from "the Tacloban province." Tacloban is in fact a ''city'' in the ''Leyte'' province.



* TokenMinority: Uy is apparently the only student of Chinese descent. [[TwoferTokenMinority And maybe also]] [[AmbiguouslyGay queer, who knows]].

** Sta. Maria is also a [[TwoferTokenMinority double-whammy]] of poor kid and Visayan. (He's from Tacloban in Visayas. Visayans are an ethnolinguistic minority in the Philippines, albeit the largest group among non-Tagalog Filipinos.)

Added DiffLines:

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Narrowly {{Defied|Trope}} in Janina's writing. We hardly see her, and many critics have described her as an underwritten character. But she ''does'' undergo heavy CharacterDevelopment, even though most of it is offscreen. Even after [[spoiler: the main boys are arrested and Janina's LoveInterest dies]], life goes on for her; she's even conquered her stage fright!

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Chuck isn't physically ugly, but Janina doesn't like him that way. He, on the other hand, lusts after her.

Added DiffLines:

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Chuck announces in History class that his favorite historical figure is Adolf Hitler. The nicest thing to be said about this is that he's most likely just trying to piss off his teacher, which works.


Added DiffLines:

* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Chuck is the rich to Mark's poor. They're both attracted to Janina.
