The drama had resurfaced the real-life scenarios of indigenous people (IP) and how they were treated in most places, and in being taken for granted because of their ethnicity.
Nakakaiyak yung Sahaya and this happens talaga sa schools especially minamaliit nila ang mga IP.I like the teply of Sahay kay mayor and nakaktouch. One of the best scenes ever I have seen on a Teleserye.Very good acting of Bianca Umali.
