Production

Director Jose Javier Reyes, when asked about his ventures into making erotic films for Vivamax during the press conference of Tag-init, stated that "the very fact that you accept a Vivamax project, you know you're not doing The Sound of Music, right? [....] It's a matter of making sure that what you do is within your own limitations as well, and within your own principle... and Viva respects me for that."[2]

Actor Marc Acueza asked permission from his wife before shooting for Tag-init his first sex scene for a film.[3]
