The MTRCB members who saw it allegedly doesn’t like the scenes where a person with disability (played by Allen, who’s a deaf mute in the story) is shown being bullied, then Allen is also shown having an illicit relationship with a teenaged girl (Angeli Nicole Sanoy). They also disliked scenes showing too much violence, children mouthing cuss words and expletives, and the improper depiction of the police in the movie.
We’re sure Dennis will make an appeal because it will really be such a pity if the movie would not be allowed to be seen in local theaters. But a local movie exec told us: “Sobrang higpit talaga ng MTRCB ngayon. Yung mga members, ang daming ipinagbabawal kaya maraming producers ang natatakot ngayong magpa-review ng pelikula nila. Yun ngang ‘Last Night’ ni Piolo Pascual, original, R-16 ang rating doon pero na-appeal kaya naging R-13 na lang.”
