On Facebook, Carlos expressed his opinion over the statement made by Robin:
“If one makes a biopic about a candidate running in an upcoming midterm senatorial election, and promotes it for release five months before said election, a release which may or may not boost that candidate’s ranking to the top twelve in political surveys, do you call that “pelikula lang ito, walang politika”? It is evident that ALL of the above are political acts. Hindi “pelikula lang.” So its makers and promoters shouldn’t wonder how and why it is getting political reactions, including the audience’s decision to see it or skip it. Let the audience decide.”
“At huwag kang hihingi ng paggalang sa project mo, kung ikaw mismo ang nagmaliit sa kanya nang tawagin mo siyang “pelikula LANG ito.” Anuman ang pagtingin mo rito, maging uri ng sining (art), pampaaliw (entertainment), propesiyon (occupation), o anupaman, ito ay kagalanggalang na gawain na kina-kareer—kung tunay mo siyang commitment—at hindi karapatdapat ituring na pelikula (o trabaho) “lang.”
