Sindak is a movie about four guys, security guards by night, sex maniacs by day, and in weekends, regular dudes who like to shoot the shit with gin and pulutan (gleaned from their weekend monkey-hunting trips). Unbeknownst to them, they live in a world of sin and extraordinary inexplicable weirdness (inexplicable because the movie doesn't put any effort in explaining a lot of things), made apparent when a man they killed—whom they suspect of being a serial murderer—comes back to haunt them one by one. Once they start dying, they start seeing the infidelity, the incest, and the debauchery around them, and soon they disintegrate under the pressure of the seedy world around them.
This is an adaptation of the Palanca award-winning play written by Maria Angela Barrios about a mother and her Amerasian daughter.
Ronnie played a disillusioned former military officer, who took the job of a school security chief to investigate the mysterious death of his best friend. It turned out not to be so mysterious after all, because the school was littered with students who looked and behaved like criminals. Apparently, no one cared about them anymore and the school had been allowed to deteriorate but Ronnie was not willing to give up that easily.
