Production
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. Moreno also did not receive payment from the rights of the film and instead requested the producers to donate the fees to a charitable institution in Manila.
Release
The film was originally intended to theatrical premiere in the Philippines on December 1, 2021 to beat the deadline on election ban and then later moved to January 26, 2022 to avoid competing with Hollywood film 'Eternals'. However, due to the spike of the COVID-19 Omicron variant cases, the film was released instead to digital and streaming premiere worldwide on January 21, 2022 via KTX.ph, Upstream PH, iWantTFC, TFC IPTV and Vivamax (through Vivamax Plus).
