Sine Totoo presents "Bulakbol"

Episode on May 24, 2008 Saturday, 11:15 p.m. How far will the youth go to rebel? Find out this Saturday, when Sine Totoo presents a documentary that explores the world of teenage truants - "Bulakbol." Produced in 2002 by multi-awarded GMA News and Public Affairs host Vicky Morales, "Bulakbol" searches for the reasons behind teen delinquency. Vicky meets a group of high school girls caught using marijuana in school. During her interview, she discovers they all habitually slash their wrists... just for fun! Vicky also talks with "Cindy" and "Edwin." Both turned to alcohol, drugs, and casual sex to escape their family problems. "Cindy" eventually got pregnant. "Edwin" almost died of a drug overdose. With the proliferation of gaming establishments, billiard halls, internet cafés, and movie houses inside school zones, cutting class has become increasingly attractive to students. On the set with Sine Totoo host Howie Severino, Vicky Morales, now a mother to twins, shares her own experiences as a teen and her views on how parents can keep their children away from sex, drugs and other temptations.

Sa nalalapit na pagdating ng pasukan, handog ng Sine Totoo ang dokumentaryo ni Vicky Morales na pumasok sa mundo ng mga mag-aaral na naliligaw ng landas - ang "Bulakbol." Taong 2002, inalam ni Vicky ang mga bagay na karaniwang nagtutulak sa mga estudyante para magbulakbol. Nakilala ni Vicky ang isang grupo ng mga batang babae na nahuling nagma-marijuana sa loob ng paaralan. Nasa high school pa lamang, pero nakagawian na nila ang paglalaslas ng kanilang pulso ... bilang katuwaan! Nakilala rin ni Vicky sina "Cindy" at "Edwin." Pareho silang nalulong sa alak at droga para takasan ang mga problema sa pamilya. Kasama ang barkada, naging trip din nila ang casual sex. Kalauna'y nabuntis si "Cindy;" muntik namang madrug overdose si "Edwin." Inikot din ni Vicky ang iba-ibang school zone, kung saan patuloy ang pagdami ng mga bilyaran, internet at gaming establishments, at kung anu-ano pang gimikan. Sa panayam ni Howie Severino ng Sine Totoo, ibinahagi ni Vicky Morales, na ngayo'y ina ng kambal, kung paano mailalayo ng mga magulang ang kanilang mga anak sa ganitong mga temptasyon.
