His 1986 vehicle, Sabik (literally translated as "Voracious" or "Eager" ), remains a fascinating, problematic, and wildly popular artifact of the era’s id. The Plot: Lust in the Time of Crisis Unlike the glossy, story-light romps of the 90s, Sabik is drenched in the desperate atmosphere of Post-EDSA Manila. Estregan plays Ramon , a middle-aged, wealthy logging contractor who suffers from a profound emotional drought masked by a raging physical appetite.
