Patriots on the Street is a modern day parable, a simple story with a lesson for all Filipinos. After a successful 25-year career in Manila, Jonas Tunay, a middle-aged businessman and former class valedictorian, is invited to return to his rural province and address the next generation of graduates at his former high school. As he prepares his speech he is forced to confront his regrets in life, his personal demons and the corruption all around him in Philippine society.
