Initially disqualified by the Metro Manila film fest selection committee allegedly for being a different movie from the originally submitted script. It was later reconsidered after the production maintained the story was the same but was only re-titled. From the original Philippines play date of 25 December 2005 (the start of The Metro Manila Film Festival), it was moved to 1 January 2006.
The script won third prize in the 2005 screenplay category of the prestigious Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature in the Philippines.
