On March 6, 1988, Dawn Zulueta's first day as a co-host of GMA Supershow, she was informed to have been cast, in her first major film role, as the love interest of Fernando Poe Jr. in One Day, Isang Araw.[5][6]
Lav Diaz of the Manila Standard gave One Day, Isang Araw a positive review, pointing out that even though the film has many shortcomings in terms of believability and continuity, they are easily forgivable because of the film's depiction of the "enormous sickness" in Philippine society, that of orphaned street children who have been forgotten and neglected by others.[3]
