The initial film poster in early 2021 for
Tililing featuring the characters making funny faces drew negative reception. The
Commission on Human Rights believed that the poster promotes stigma and negative stereotypes of people experiencing mental health issues. The Psychological Association of the Philippines released a statement urging for responsible portrayal of mental health in media.
Tililing was perceived to be a film made at the expense of people experiencing mental health issues but director Daryll Yap assured that the production team is "together" with mental health advocates when they made the film. Actress
Liza Soberano posted on
X (formerly Twitter) about mental health.

profanities like in scene of fighting over panties while Jessa (Yumi Lacsamana) accuses Espie (
Donnalyn Bartolome) as a thief. ==Release==
