What lies beneath the trash is at first a treat and then evolves into something much, much, more. They eventually realize, is it worth fighting for? Betraying for? Dying for? Jun Jun is a key character due to his knowledge, ‘wealth’, stealth and trust. Jun Jun, Gardo and Raphael show that bravery and courage is what matters to pursue the police infested crime.

Jun Jun is quick, knowledgeable and selfless. He shows us that these qualities get things done, help others and and realize the world around us.

In conclusion the author has left me with this thought “You will have to make up for the smallness of your size by your courage and selfless devotion to duty, for it is not life that matters, but the courage, fortitude and determination you bring to it.” -― Muhammad Ali
