The priest in "Fray Botod" uses religion to exploit and oppress his subjects. A man of vast and morally questionable appetites, he takes advantage of his position to pursue everything from drunkenness and gluttony to exploitative relationships with young girls.
Fray Botod introduces the stereo typical Spanish Friar who uses religion as a tool for oppressing others. It is told through a dialog between a Filipino and his liberal Spanish friend.
