Produced by Cine Suerte and EG Productions, the film was released on October 25, 1989.

Critic Justino Dormiendo of the National Midweek gave the film a positive review for its "engrossing" storytelling, though he was nevertheless critical of the decision to exploit a tragic incident for mass consumption.
