Interesting facts

Production

Actresses who were previously considered for the lead role in Sukdulan included Lorna Tolentino, Assunta de Rossi and Angelu de Leon. Katya Santos, the fourth choice, had finished taking a break from show business to finish her college degree in Business Administration when she accepted the role. Her decision to star in Sukdulan was to veer away from her "wholesome image" and become a more recognizable actress to audiences.

Santos and Raymond Bagatsing attended an acting workshop before starting production on the film.
