The Filipino film Eskandalo is being reported to be inspired by a recent YouTube video scandal in the country and is centered on a similar event: A pen marker is inserted in a gay guy’s rectum and a video of the act causes a scandal. The victim (Emilio Garcia) is a 35-year old virgin who is a teacher, belongs to a well-off family, whose father is a military man and mother is an active Catholic. And the guy who did it (Andrew Schimmer) is a callboy who temporarily went insane during that moment because of a life-long insecurity with his small penis.
