“The Unforgettable scene for me is the torture scene where brother Mon spits a phlegm on me. I cried and my tears are real, That's the cry of McCoy not Fr. Rhoel. I lie down so they can't see me crying, but it was satisfying that I sacrificed something for that thing, I made those scenes.[11]
Mon Confiado added that he really have cough and phlegm that time when they are shooting the scene. He said (translated in English);
“If I spit just a saliva, it is not visible because it was thin. I collected my phlegm and I used it to the scene. It was a long take, take one and I spit twice, it has a close up, you can see it on the movie.[11]
Release
