Criticism

Philippine Senator Aquilino Pimentel, Jr. criticized the film, particularly the scene which smacks of an ethnic slur to non-Tagalog speaking Filipinos when the character of portrayed by Gloria Diaz exclaimed to her grandchild's nannies: "Bakit pinapalaki ninyong Bisaya ang apo ko?" (Why are you rearing my grandchild as a Visaya?) The senator, who hailed from Mindanao, demanded an apology from producer Star Cinema, claiming that it makes non-Tagalog speaking Filipinos "as if they are less Filipino than the Tagalog people".cite news| title=Pimentel slams ethnic slur in Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo| date=December 27, 2007| publisher=GMANews.tv| url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/74336/Pimentel-slams-ethnic-slur-in-Sakal-Sakali-Saklolo] Iligan City-based Call for Justice, Inc., referred to this dialog as "a typical Imperial Manila mentality".cite web| url=http://www.tawaghustisya.com/sakal1.html| author=Quimco, Ver| title=INSULTO, INSULTO, INSULTO| language=Cebuano| publisher=Call for Justice, Inc. official website| accessdate=2008-02-14]
