  • Maid in Malacañang is a fictional retelling of the Marcos family’s last three days in Malacañang Palace before they were forced to be exiled to Hawaii during the People Power Revolution in 1986.
  • Marketed by Viva Films as “the most controversial film of the year”, Maid in Malacañang has been met with numerous controversies surrounding the film’s subject matter since it was first announced, which critics assert as the potential to distort the history of the Marcos regime and the People Power Revolution. The filmmakers, however, defended their film, arguing that the film only intends to highlight the Marcoses’ perspective without negating established facts.
  • Darryl Yap was booed at the 18th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival after his name appeared on the screen, stating that he was unable to promote his new film due to his work on Maid in Malacañang.
  • Maid in Malacañang held its premiere at SM North EDSA in Quezon City on July 29, 2022. The film was released under Viva Films in cinemas nationwide on August 3, 2022. To combat the film’s release, Vince Tañada intentionally set a re-release of the FAMAS winning film, Katips, a movie set during the Marcos’ martial law era, on the same day. Katips presents its story from the lens student activists, following their struggles during the Martial Law era.
  • Bulks of free tickets were given out by Francis Zamora to all government employees in San Juan, and claims that Imee Marcos was giving tickets to schools.
  • Upon release, the film received a generally negative reception, with certain scenes garnering much controversy over misrepresentations or lies as well as reviews criticizing Yap’s direction and screenplay, production, acting, cinematography, and pacing.
  • The film became the first highest-grossing Filipino film in 2022 and the third highest-grossing Filipino film in Philippine cinema, with a combined local and worldwide gross of over ₱750 million (US$13.6 million).
  • The film is intended to be the first in a trilogy about the Marcos family, with a sequel, Martyr or Murderer, released on March 1, 2023.
