Production

Actress Andi Eigenmann prepared for the titular role by training in mixed martial arts at the Ultimate Fitness gym in Pasig, and admitted that she intentionally avoided watching the original 1980 film directed by Lino Brocka to avoid imitating Hilda Koronel's performance.
The rape scene in the film was toned down in comparison to the 1980 film as the filmmakers intended for an R-13 rating from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
Release
Angela Markado held its premiere at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City on November 30, 2015, and was later released nationwide on December 2, 2015.

=Oggs Cruz, writing for Rappler, considered the film inferior to the original film directed by Lino Brocka, stating that Caparas' version "is vehemently shallow, a piece of pulp that refuses to be both profound and entertaining."
