Positive comments about Sahaya have been spread on Twitter, especially on a recent episode where Sahaya fought her position as class valedictorian. 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.

Last time, when I heard Sahaya saying, "I am a living testament of my mother's love, devotion, sacrifices and commitment to my education." I felt that. It was indeed a highly recommended show!!! #HaranaParaKaySahaya
