Director Brillante Mendoza said the scene in which Jewel (played by teenage actress Roxanne Jordan), is naked in front of a mirror, wasn't in the script: "Armando Lao and I got a lot of flak with the opening scene when Roxanne Jordan's character, Jewel, was dressing up and she stood naked in front of the mirror and stared at herself. Some critics said that it was unnecessary and a bit exploitative. But the thing is Armando never wrote it that way. He simply wrote that Jewel is getting dressed. The standing naked in front of the mirror was my idea. But I only did that because it was from the point of view of the child who was peeping through the half open door. It was a metaphor for the film: the audience inside the Family Theater are like voyeurs."
