- Netizens expressed their excitement with the brave attempt of the show to tackle the issue of LGBT despite the country being generally conservative 

In a generally conservative society like that of the Philippines where people put so much premium on certain values that others find rather backward-looking and barbaric, an attempt to discuss things which are considered to be taboo is a brave attempt.

Much more if such move is to be done on a massive scale like that of a national television where millions of people are able to see, hear and digest what characters have to say.

In the past, we've witnessed successful televisions shows tackling things about immorality, adultery, crime and many more.
