Sgt. Ernesto Baliola: Tinik sa Batas (lit. Thorn in the Law) is a 1992 Philippine action film directed by Ricardo "Bebong" Osorio. The film stars Sonny Parsons as the title role. Based on true events,[1] the film is about a sergeant based in Quezon City who begins engaging in Robin Hood-like criminal activities against law enforcement in order to help the slum area dwellers.[2][3]
Critic Justino Dormiendo of the Manila Standard severely criticized the film for its overall crudeness, stating that it ""doesn't make sense in all aspects, including writing [...], directing [...], and acting."[4]
