Box office

On the first four days in cinemas (last October 24–28, 2012), the film earned a total of PHP 55,932,553. On its first six days in cinemas, the film already garnered a total of PHP 100 million, but in contrary to the report, Box Office Mojo confirms that the film only got PHP 95,174,565 on its first week and including the days of the second week run. As of its 4th and final week of showing, the film earned PHP 118,424,018; a sure box office hit but quite low compared to other movies of its genre like In the Name of Love, No Other Woman, The Mistress and One More Try. The film is now ranked as 5th highest grossing Filipino films of 2012 and 17th placed in the all-time highest-grossing local films in the Philippines.
