Critical response
Justino Dormiendo, writing for Sagisag, gave the film a negative review, criticizing its haphazard story flow that is "made worse by melodramatic music" and stated that "its view of the issues facing people in society is too simple, and its assessment of where people's 'immorality' comes from is too shallow."[4]
