Scene from 'Marupok AF' For actress Maris Racal, the most challenging part about making Quark Henares' romantic comedy 'Marupok AF' (Where is the Lie?)—which delves into the topic of 'catfishing'—was to make sure that its message is relayed to its audience correctly. The film retells the story of a young trans woman named Jzan Tero, whose Twitter thread about how she got catfished by two people went viral in 2020. 'Marupok AF' follows Jansen Torres (EJ Jallorina), who finds what she believes to be true love with Theo Balmaceda (Royce Cabrera) on a dating app.
