Inamin ni Maris Racal na naging marupok siya sa buhay kaya nakaka-relate siya sa pelikulang Marupok A+.
“Especially nu’ng early 20s ko, grabe ‘yung karupukan ko talaga, as in. Deep breaths, ganu’n. ‘Yung pamilya ko, deep breaths, ‘yung mga kaibigan ko. I think lahat naman, dinaanan ‘yun.
Dadaan tayo sa karupukan at d’yan tayo natututo,” pagtatapat ng singer-actress.
At dahil sa mga dinaanan niya ay ginamit niya ito para kumita.
“Pinagkakitaan ko ‘yung mga ginawa sa ‘kin, kasi hello, kailangan ko ng pera. It’s me taking my power back. Sinaktan mo ako, I’m gonna write a song about you.
“Ang importante, what you do after being broken hearted is maging marupok pa rin. Hahahahaha!” tumatawang sabi ni Maris na ikinatawa rin ng lahat.
Si Direk Quark Henares ang direktor ng Marupok A+ at eksklusibo itong mapapanood sa Ayala Malls Cinemas sa July 10 dahil nabigyan ito ng R-18 na dating X dahil sa titulong Marupok AF (Where is The Lie) kaya pinalitan ng A+ produced ng Anima Studios at First Cut Lab.
Bukod kay Maris ay kasama rito sina EJ Jallorina, Chai Fonacier, Gabby Padilla at Royce Cabrera with special participation of Cristine Reyes.
Ang kuwento ng Marupok A+ ay tungkol sa nauusong catfishing at online predators na gumagamit ng fake identities sa mga online dating apps.
Gagampanan ni Maris ang karakter na Beanie/Theo na nakuha ang loob ni Janzen (EJ) sa tulong ni Dennis (Royce) para maniwala.
Tulad sa Can’t Buy Me Love, dark sa umpisa ang role na gagampanan niya pero magugustuhan din naman daw in the end.
Ang 'kaloka, may eksena siyang nagma-masturbate na hindi raw alam ng pamilya niya.
“Hindi ‘to alam ng family ko. Hindi alam ni Mama ‘tong film na ‘to. Ang alam niya lang, Can’t Buy Me Love sa TV.
“Pero ‘yung mga ganitong pelikula, hindi n’ya pa napapanood ‘cause my mom is like Mama Mary. Kapag siguro mga 80 years old na sila, hindi na sila makasampal,” birong sabi ni Maris.

ANG saya-saya ng Mentorque producer na si Bryan Diamante o Bryan Dy sa natanggap niyang award na Rising Film Producer of the Year mula sa Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors o SPEEd.
Kinilala ng grupo si Bryan sa ginagawa niya na kahit tagilid pa rin ang movie industry ay patuloy siyang nagpo-produce para makatulong sa mga taong kailangan ng trabaho lalo na ‘yung mga nawalan dahil sa pandemya.
Marami siyang nagawang indie films at ngayon ay lakas-loob niyang pinasok ang mainstream thru Mallari movie sa pangunguna ni Piolo Pascual.
Unang pelikula pa lang ay gumawa na ng ingay sa industriya dahil masasabing ito ang pinakamalaking pelikula sa taong 2023 at hindi naman nabigo ang Mentorque Productions dahil kaliwa’t kanan na ang natanggap nitong awards simula nu’ng Metro Manila Film Festival 2023 hanggang sa Manila International Film Festival sa Hollywood, USA na sinundan ng FAMAS 2024.
