Production

In a press conference on February 6, the director and the casts disclosed that McCoy de Leon cried while shooting the torture scene where Mon Confiado spat phlegm on him in the face.

McCoy said (translated in english); “The Unforgettable scene for me is the torture scene where brother Mon spits a phlegm on me. I cried and my tears are real, That's the cry of McCoy not Fr. Rhoel. I lie down so they can't see me crying, but it was satisfying that I sacrificed something for that thing, I made those scenes.

Mon Confiado added that he really have cough and phlegm that time when they are shooting the scene. He said (translated in english); “If I spit just a saliva, it is not visible because it was thin. I collected my phlegm and I used it to the scene. It was a long take, take one and I spit twice, it has a close up, you can see it in the movie.
