GLYDEL MERCADO & RUBY MORENO : BAWAL NA HALIK 1997 (NUDITY REVIEW)

NUDITY REVIEW: Bawal Na Halik 1997      
Starring: Glydel Mercado and Ruby Moreno    


Bawal na Halik is a heavy-handed morality tale of how God punishes excessive sleaziness, in both men and women, by inflicting AIDS upon those who partake in too many pleasures of the flesh. Jay Manalo as a macho dancer and Glydel Mercado as a prostitute/masseuse/dancer, the film was made at the peak of the AIDS hysteria, when Filipinos were finally waking up to the fact that they too could become infected with HIV. Unfortunately, the film also sensationalizes the tragedy of people infected with the virus by highlighting the irrational prejudices of the general public.   


BONER RATING for Glydel Mercado: 2.8/5 Stars  
(Nude: Topless/Breasts) 

BONER RATING for Ruby Moreno: 2.5/5 Stars  
(Nude: Topless/Breasts) 


NUDITY RATING: 5.1/10 Stars 
Ruby Moreno was already doing films in Japan before making movies in the Philippines. This movie was only her third local film versus a dozen Japanese film credits. Meanwhile this was Glydel Mercado's first topless film (She only did "wet look"/"see-thru to tits, nipples, boobs before). But her topless scenes her were quick ones and not well lit compared to the other films like "Sidhi, Mister Mo Lover Ko and Azucena". Still a keeper for collectors. Still recommended.
