“To outrightly ban the film, especially one already approved by the MTRCB, is a cure much worse than the illness itself,” the organization said in a statement on February 19. “Alam niyo po, napakasakit lang po… Dito sa kanilang pelikula, sinasabi ang ating awtoridada ay naduwag na sa mga rebelde, hindi na po sila umaaksyon at sinabi pa dito ‘they went down somewhere in the Jolo island cluster. It’s run by separatists and militias, the Filipino armies were not there anymore,'” Padilla said.
