Production
[edit]According to director Joven Tan, the project was conceptualized before the COVID-19 pandemic and two years before Moreno announced his intention to run for presidency. Shootings were also hampered due to health protocol restrictions. Shooting began in early 2021 after the government eased its restrictions. Tan confirmed that Moreno was not a producer of the movie.[4][5] Moreno also did not receive payment from the rights of the film and instead requested the producers to donate his fees to a charitable institution in Manila.[6][7]
Release
[edit]The film was originally intended to theatrical premiere in the Philippines on December 1, 2021, to beat the deadline on election ban[5] and then later moved to January 26, 2022.[8] However, due to a spike in the number of COVID-19 Omicron variant cases, the film skipped theatrical release and released on digital and streaming premiere worldwide on January 21, 2022, via KTX.ph, Upstream PH, iWantTFC, TFC IPTV and Vivamax (through Vivamax Plus).[9]
