Cast

Production

The film was shot mostly inside the New Bilibid Prison, where Robin Padilla was serving a 17-year jail term for illegal possession of firearms. It caught the attention of Viva Films, which sued Padilla for breach of contract in which he is an exclusive artist. This prompted the film's release, originally in late 1995, to be delayed to January 1996. [1] [7]

Release

The film premiered at a theater in Greenhills, San Juan on January 9, 1996, with GMA Network's coverage of the event through the program Inside Showbiz being hosted by Aster Amoyo, Jackielou Blanco, Oskee Salazar, and Aga Muhlach. [8] The film was released nationwide on January 11, 1996. [6]
