However, just after qualifying, Director Tikoy Aguilus had demanded that his name as the director be remove on the film's credit. Aguiluz elobarated tat he is requesting that his name be deleted on all promotional materials of the Asiong Salonga Story movie which includes print ads and on digital promotions. It appeared that the movie was edited without his knowledge, the very grounds why DIrector Tikoy Aguiluz described the movie as not his.

He further demanded thathe'll be provided with the director's cut of the movie. DIrector's cut is mandatory given to the film's director which they can use in joining international festivals.

Director Aguiluz threaten to file civil and criminal charges if his demands are not met.
