Reception

Philbert Dy of Letterboxd gave the film ½ star and wrote: My favorite sequence in this has the young Jonard Pamor picking up a newspaper and reading it. It then cross fades into an older Jonard Pamor, now played by Aljur Abrenica, still reading the same newspaper. It's the kind of incompetent storytelling that passes into the realm of the sublime. Up to that point, the movie had merely been bad. From then on, it becomes something else: the kind of garbage cinema that can only be produced by truly insane people. [6]
