Reception

The film received negative reviews from critics and was commercially unsuccessful. According to Ed de Leon of the ''Philippine Star'', the main reason behind the film's commercial failure was the lack of publicity and promotional strategy, saying that the release of the film was as seem kept secret to moviegoers. In another article released a few months earlier, he said that the film's title was also a disadvantage leading to the audience proving that the film was just a re-issue of an earlier released film. While in an article from the ''Pilipino Star Ngayon'', it was said that the length of the filming and the multiple delays on its theatrical release were the factors that led to its poor box office performance.
