To understand Lampel Cojuangco's work, one must understand the context of the bomba film. This genre, which emerged in the early 1970s, capitalized on the sexual revolution and offered a form of entertainment that pushed the boundaries of mainstream ethical standards. Scholars have suggested that these films, while often dismissed as mere exploitation, can also be viewed as a subversive genre that, through its narrative, pretended to uphold establishment values while subtly undermining audience support for "corrupt and outmoded institutions". The bomba film created a space for exploring taboo subjects, often through the lens of the Filipina's body, which became a site of both exploitation and a certain kind of resistance. The genre evolved through various stages, from the "wet look" and "daring" phases of the mid-to-late 1970s to the "FF (fighting fish)" and "pene" (penetration) films of the mid-80s, the period when Cojuangco was most active.
