Alma Moreno was attached as Monica. She backed out from the project to make her reunion film with Rudy Fernandez, Babalik ka rin (1981). With Alma out, Amy Austria--who was initially tasked to play Cynthia--asked if she could portray Monica. Director Marilou Diaz-Abaya had to look for another actress for the role of Cynthia. Lee suggested Gina Alajar, who had just stepped back into the fold with her re-launching film Diborsyada (1979).
