This movie illustrates perfectly how an offense subjectively magnified in the eyes of the victim and seeking what is believed to be compensatory redress can lead to a chain of destructive "one-up-man-ship".Paraphrasing William Hurt's character in the movie: "everything decent is held together by an unwritten covenant."
Unless we're willing to see the other person's side and work towards an agreeable conclusion, it will end up like those old time Ubusan ng Lahi (clan extermination) stories the previous generation of local moviegoers were barraged with.
