The exaggerated expressions by the 6 actors were replaced by non-celebrities and with normal facial expressions.
In the caption, ADSP said the movie poster is only feeding the stereotypes instead of helping to break it. They also slammed the use of the word “tililing.” The group wrote, “Even us patients and the professionals don’t use this word. Even the government is careful in addressing people with mental health struggles. Wag natin pausuhin.”
