 Mother Lily Y. Monteverde (qv) wanted Joel Lamangan (qc) to  direct this movie since he made three movie in the franchise. But  since the director was then still doing another Metro Manila  Filmfest entry, Zsa Zsa Zaturnah (2006), this movie was given to  Jun Lana (qv). When the cast was overhauled in the last week of  September, Monteverde dropped Lana and tapped Lamangan to do the  movie. Lamagan accepted the offer since he already finished the  other project.
