Director Ben "M7" Yalung of Cine Suerte announced in July 1989 that he will produce a film adaptation of the June 8 incident, having consulted with both Western Police District chief Alfredo Lim and Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chairman Manuel Morato regarding his intention.
