The entire slum village where Junie and Liani live was built from scratch.
Supposedly the first solo movie of Vhong Navarro set for the 2003 Metro Manila Film Festival on December of 2003. But 'Star Cinema Productions Inc. [ph]' cast Vhong in Mr. Suave: Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! (2003) and immediately released it on November of 2003 (making it as Vhong's first major movie). A feud between Regal Films producer Lily Y. Monteverde and the producers of 'Star Cinema Productions Inc. [ph]' developed.
Mark Meily was once attached to direct the film.
