If a movie covers explosive realities, it’s a bomba movie.

“I think you are truly a great performer. The social critique is also clear. But as a religious hindi masyadong to my taste yung risqué jokes and scenes but because of your great acting they became funny satires rather than sleazy scenes.” – Sister Mary John Mananzan, OSB
“Truly daring and yes, irreverent, but Juana Change the movie is able to bring to the surface critical societal realities including those that are taboo. In a very Filipino way, the movie is able to advocate change and everyone’s responsibility to make this happen.” – Brother Armin Luistro, Secretary of Education
“Your movie was my first experience of social commentary framed in biting, crazy, fun-filled satire, in-your-face silly in parts but wholly thoughtful and amazingly intelligent.” – Neric Acosta, Chair, Laguna Lake Development Authority
“Sobrang enjoy ako sa Juana C. Humor ng totoong humorist. I think it will be a hit.” – Ramon Jimenez, Secretary of Tourism
