Albert, however, admitted that putting some of the biggest stars in the industry would require a lot of effort.

Amid their preparation for the movie, rumors spread like fire that the billing is one of the reasons for the delay of the projects. Allegedly, some stars are are squabbling about who should go first in the credits.
“It’s totally untrue. It’s the script that’s holding it down. We want to make sure that each actor in the film would have equal screen impact,” Albert denies the issue.
Albert made his directorial debut in the big-budget MMFF 2010 period romance-drama, “Rosario” starring Jennylyn Mercado.
