Premiering at the 2nd Metro Manila Film Festival, the film won Best Story for Feleo-Gonzales. In 2018, the film was digitally restored by the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project with a subsequent theatrical premiere at the Cinema One Originals festival of that year.[2]
It was the first important film to address the subject of the American military presence in the Philippines during the Bases era.[3] The film ultimately argues for the closure of these facilities.[4]
