** VillainousBSOD: He's not quite exactly a ''villain'', except insofar as he starts out somewhat rationalising the Marcos regime, but Julian's outraged scream in reaction to the same news definitely counts.

* TheMole: [[spoiler:One of Jules' close friends in the NPA, Domeng, is well-known even to his family that even Amanda is visibly shocked when Jules drops the bombshell that he turned out to be a military spy—a Constabulary sergeant who thoroughly infiltrated Jules' NPA unit and was feeding intelligence to his superiors all this time. Domeng blended in so well and made such trusted relationships with the cadres, Jules most of all, that the betrayal is really painful when Jules warns Amanda that their house needs cleaning, i.e., burning or purging of anything that might be remotely construed as suspicious, and thus subversive.]]

* EagleLand: Played with. The overweening flavour is Type 2, given Washington's support of the Marcos regime and American {{Mega Corp}}s effectively monopolising Filipino production and consumption, which quite reasonably causes the radicalisation of Jules and Eman. Gani, however, sees a Type 1 Eagleland, noting (and this is TruthInTelevision) that joining the U.S. Navy will provide him a steady paycheck and benefits besides—not to mention a green card. Julian appears to see more of Type 1 in America as well, given he likely came of age in the "Liberation" of Manila during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, supports the (U.S.-backed) Marcos regime, and ribs Gani about bringing home fancy American imports (Blue Seal cigarettes in the novel, Johnnie Walker whiskey in the movie).

** [[spoiler:Jason's murder is horrific. His corpse was discovered stabbed several times, his balls somehow smashed in, his elbows, knees and legs severely scraped, and his wrists bearing wire bondage marks, indicating he was dragged for a long distance behind a car (a bit like [[Literature/TheIliad Achilles dragging a dead Hector around Troy several times]]). It's not known whether he was dragged before or after he was stabbed, but it's really rather horrible either way.]]
