 The role of Yolanda was originally intended for Dina Bonnevie (qv)  who was eased out from the _Mano po 2: My home (2003)_ (qv) by  Lorna Tolentino (qv). Dina shot for a day for this movie but was  sidelined by illness. As Dina could not continue doing the movie,  Lorna was tapped to replace her as Yolanda.
