Spoliarium is a song by the Eraserheads from their fifth studio album Sticker Happy. Penned by vocalist Ely Buendia, the title of the song is a reference to Filipino painter Juan Luna's magnum opus finished in 1884.

Explanation:

According to the urban legend, the lyrics of the song alludes to the Paloma's rape case filed against comedians Vic "Enteng" Sotto, Joey de Leon, and Richie D'Horsie in 1982, including the apartment in which the crime took place, and the subsequent affidavit she was forced to sign by Vic's brother, future senator Tito Sotto. Composer Ely Buendia, a film major in UP Diliman, allegedly became aware of Pepsi Paloma while studying at the university.

WHAT IS THE MEANING/STORY BEHIND THE SONG?

This song revolves around the r/ape of Pepsi Paloma in the year 1982. Those involved in this crime were Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and Richie D'Horsie. Unfortunately, the cases filed against these three were dismissed, and their only response to this was a public apology for Paloma.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES IT ADDRESS?

lt was meant to address the injustice in the Philippines. This song exposed the unfairness that went on in Pepsi Paloma's case; their sins were never atoned or paid for properly. Still, those criminals are able to walk freely, yet justice was never served to the victim of it all. Though this case occurred almost a decade ago, unsettling crimes like r/ape and abuse are still prevalent.
