「我成長環境下有許多家人和朋友都是LGBTIQ+族群的人，所以我很真誠的在乎他們與他們被看見。當我們的製片是菲律賓最大的一家公司決定把《你好陌生人》在情人節時推出，我覺得這是一個很大的突破，讓大眾能夠接觸到更多LGBTIQ+的作品。這對於未來，能讓大眾更加接受這議題。我覺得這是很重要的。」—— 《你好陌生人：電影版》導演：杜溫・巴塔札

"First and foremost, I grow up with friends and family that are from the LGBTIQ+ community. So I truly care about representing them and them being seen. That's why when our studio, one of the largest in the country, made Hello Stranger as the Valentine offering, I felt that it was truly to celebrating.. .I felt it was a major step to bring forward to the public that they can access more to this kind of narrative. So in the future, we will have more accepting general public. That really is a win for me." said Director Dwein Baltazar from Hello Stranger: The Movie.
