De los Reyes was batting for an R-13 rating because he wants the youth to watch the film and learn lessons from it. "Kailangan talaga na mag-progress na ang way of thinking natin sa mga pelikula na may ganyang tema. Paano uunlad ang ating buhay kung sarado ang paniniwala natin sa liberal na kaisipan?" asked the director. The movie is about a crime of passion based on a newspaper account by broadcast journalist Julius Babao. "Torotot", a Viva Films presentation, tells of infidelity among couples leading to violence. According to Board member and reviewer for the film Jackie Aquino, she requested the producer to submit another print without objectionable parts. Junne Rufino, the project’s supervising producer submitted the raw edited version of "Torotot" Tuesday morning and Aquino previewed it in the afternoon. "Kaya lang, maraming eksena na kailangang iklian o putulin. Hindi puwedeng mag-R-13 ang una nilang isi-nubmit na print so I told them to bring a new edited version. According to Junne, dadalhin niya ngayong araw na ito," said Aquino. "I hope madala agad nila for immediate evaluation," she said. Meanwhile, MTRCB chair Ma. Consoliza Laguardia also said that some parts of the film were objectionable. "Kailangan na ma-delete ang ibang portions. Hindi akma sa mga kabataan ang mga eksena lalo na kung inaakala nila na pang-R-13 ang pelikula," explained Laguardia.
