Tondo, Manila never fails to scare the hell out of us. The name of that place is a classic source of assault, violence, offense and abuse brought by gangsters on the block.

The perilous streets and dim alleys are enclosed by walls and pavements that are witnesses of blood and gore caused by various crimes - from petty theft to murder. Witness how TRIBU used this setting to speak about how it is to encounter juvenile gangsters living in Tondo. Using hip hop music to express their poetic mumblings and sentiments, their rhymed verses have spoken the adventure and drama of the gangsta lifestyle.

TRIBU is a full length film finalist of Cinemalaya 2007. Watch its movie trailer: http://www.filipinochannel.tv/view_video.php?viewkey=9311ef5b5c3003946c48
