"If one makes a biopic about a candidate running in an upcoming midterm senatorial election, and promotes it for release 5 months before said election, a release which may or may not boost that candidate’s ranking to the top twelve in political surveys, do you call that 'pelikula lang ito, walang politika'? (Do you call that just a movie, there's no politics?) It is evident that ALL of the above are political acts. Hindi 'pelikula lang' (It's not just a movie). So its makers and promoters shouldn’t wonder how and why it is getting political reactions, including the audience’s decision to see it or skip it. Let the audience decide," Seguion-Reyna said.
