Shooting for Ultimatum: Ceasefire! began on February 12, 1987. A day later, lead actor Ramon Revilla broke his leg and had to recover for some time at his residence in Imus, Cavite. It was during this time that Revilla was convinced by his friends to run for senator in the 1987 Senate elections.^[2]

Critical response[edit]

Justino Dormiendo, writing for the Manila Standard, gave the film a negative review. He largely criticized the film's misguided presentation of how the insurgency issue then afflicting Philippine society could develop and thus disparaged it as "a gross distortion of political realities that have engulfed our nation [...] in the last 365 days." Dormiendo also criticized Ramon Revilla's acting and the casting of Joonee Gamboa as the warlord.^[5]
