In the Philippines during the 1980s, an era of political upheaval and shifting social mores, the local film industry produced a notable cycle of adult-oriented sexploitation films often labeled in Tagalog as “pene” (a slang term referencing male anatomy) or more broadly marketed as bold/soft-core movies.
