Director Darryl Yap has said that he wants to dedicate his controversial film "Maid In Malacanang" to all his critics.

Darryl made the revelation at the grand media conference of "Maid In Malacanang" held at the Manila Hotel last Sunday.

"This movie is for them talaga. I've always been vocal na lahat ng ginagawa ko ay para sa mga hindi naniniwala. Mula sa aking unang pelikula, naniniwala pa rin ako na ang tunay na kritiko ay yung mga nagsasabing hindi nila panonoorin nguni't panonoorin pa rin nila," said Darryl.

He continued: "Masayang masaya ako sa atensyon, panahon at higit sa lahat, sa suporta ng nagtatago sa gitna ng criticisms. Dahil ang tagumpay ng pelikula ay hindi lamang sa papuri kundi sa maga masustanya at kapaki-pakinabang na puna na maaaring galing sa mga kakampi at kalaban nguni't ang mahalaga, sabi nga ni Boss Vic, nanood yung kalaban. So 'yun pa lang masaya na ako.

"Kung this film has a sequel? Ang alam ko, baka pagalitan ako, ang alam ko talaga trilogy ito. So naghihintay pa lang ako. Alam n'yo naman na napalka supportive ng Viva! Ngayon pa lang, yung pag papahayag ng publiko sa 'Maid In Malacanang' hindi malabong mangyari.

"So baka mahilot-hilot pa namin si Boss at si Senator. So nakasalalay, ang sequel sa suporta ng sambayanang Pilipino," Darryl added.

At first, Darryl was hesitant to give his message to the critics of the film.

"Naku sabi ko behave pa naman ako dahil nandito ang mga boss ko (referring to Vic Del Rosario of Viva Films)," he said.

Imee, in reference to Darryl's yellow tops, rubber shoes, and eyeglasses, commented and told the youthful director: "Behave pero nakadilaw naman."

Then the crowd laughed. Yellow is the political color of the opposition.

Darryl answered: "Hindi ko po talaga alam na naka-dilaw ako."

The movie - which deals with the last 72 hours of the Marcoses in Malacanang in 1986 - will be shown in cinemas beginning Aug. 3.
