The entire film was shot in Cuyo Island, in the province of Palawan.- The local dialect and people are both called Cuyonon.- It is known to formerly occupied by Spanish and Portugese Catholic priests and visited by illegal fishermen from neighboring island and countries such as Taiwan.- The windy island is surrounded by pristine white beaches and clear waters, visited by a handful of foreigners who visit the island for windsurfing.- It belongs to the same island group as the world famous Amanpulo Resort.- It was first visited by the Director, Writer, Producers and the Art Department in August 27, 2007 in time for the island's colorful San Augustin Festival. Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiOHV-O0KUY- Aside from being the place where the Director grew up and the story of Ploning is set, the island was chosen as a positive geographic and social representation of the Philippines.- Locations were set in both the Magsaysay and Cuyo munucipalities.- Throughout the production, the island was reached by the staff, crew and cast through 12-13 hour boat rides from neighboring provinces Iloilo and Puerto Princesa, Palawan, a 19-seater commercial plane, 1-6 seater fish cargo planes called "buhay buhay" and at one point, though a chartered plane. To date, commercial planes no longer service the island of Cuyo.
