According to a report from Philippine Entertainment Portal (Pep), the director stated, “We, the people behind Citizen Jake are asking for your support in defending and protecting the film from those who may wish to harm it in whatever way, shape, or form and also from those who may want to use the film to gain political mileage for their causes.”
