Production
[edit]Production took place while Robin Padilla was on bail.[4] His involvement in the film caught the attention of Viva Films, which sued him for breach of contract in which he is an exclusive artist. He left two films with Viva, including Oo Na, Sige Na, unfinished.[1]
Release
[edit]The film was slated to be released in July. However, it didn't push through due to Ruffa Gutierrez's involvement in the 1994 Manila Film Festival scam, resulting to her being temporarily banned from the theaters, and a string of lawsuits Robin Padilla faced at that time, including his conviction for illegal possession of firearms and his breach of contract with Viva.[5][6] After things were sorted out, the film was finally released in October.[2]
