Release

The film premiered on May 1, 1996, at the Odeon Theater in Sta. Cruz, Manila. [2] Jaime Santiago himself attended the premiere with actor Bong Revilla, but had to leave early when he heard of a hostage situation taking place in Tondo. After negotiations by the SWAT team on location proved unsuccessful, Santiago positioned himself in a nearby house and shot the hostage taker dead with an M16 rifle, saving the hostage who was a one-year-old girl.
