This tale centers on seven exceptional women who defy gender norms, showcasing their unwavering dedication and resilience in joining an institution traditionally dominated by men. Their commitment stems from a lifetime of virtues, forming an unshakable foundation that cannot be easily replicated.
In October 2021, the cast started to lock-in taping in Kalinga-Apayao and shoot some of the scene around Antipolo and Quezon City.[5]
The Buy Bust Queen held its press conference and premiere on March 23, 2022, at the One Sky Theater within One Mall in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila.[6][7]
Goldwin Reviews gave the film a negative one out of five stars and wrote: "The story is so overdone. The Buy Bust Queen title is not suitable because this is a Joker."[8]
