Production

Lorna Tolentino was supposed to reprise her role as Joey for the sequel, however, due to disagreements over talent fee she instead went on to do Mano Po 2: My Home. The role of Joey went to Dina Bonnevie, who was originally set to star alongside Tolentino in Mano Po 2 but had left the production after the role originally meant for her was taken over by the latter.

Laurice Guillen and Lito Pimentel are the only members of the cast to reprise their roles from Moral.

In addition, Valdez and Garcia were both reunited since Pangako Sa 'Yo which ended in the 3rd quarter of 2002. Patrick Garcia and Jodi Sta. Maria were also from the said primetime series but they also both reunited since Jologs and later remained in Darating ang Umaga alongside Valdez.
