Suzette Doctolero, a Kapuso scriptwriter, expressed herself against the basher that questioned the casting and script of ‘Sahaya.’
Sahaya is a drama series broadcast by GMA Network that premiered on March 28, 2019.
The story revolves with Sahaya, a young Badjaw woman, the daughter of a disgraced Badjaw, who will develop a strong connection with water, and whose positive outlook in life inspires her family and community.
Despite the good rating of the show and positive feedback form televiewers, Sahaya wasn’t exempted from bash and criticism.
The basher believes that Sahaya’s lead role must be played by a real Badjaw (mentioning Rita Gaviola) because she is ‘undeniably suitable’ instead of Bianca Umali.
The scriptwriter of Sahaya, Suzette Doctolero stood up and defended the show from the basher who is questioning the casting and script of Sahaya.
According to the scriptwriter, Rita Gaviola is not ready for a lead role and producing a show such as Sahaya is already a risk.
Mainam sana kung totoong Badjaw ang gaganap Pero si Rita pa lang ang artista na Sama Dilaut pero di pa siya ready for a lead role. also, di ko buy yung dapat badjaw din ang artista na gaganap, kaya nga artista kasi trainned sila na mag tackle ng ibat ibang role.Thats their job.

Given that, dapat pala totoong German kinuha as Schindler sa Shindler’s list movie at di si Liam neeson, o di na dapat mag aral ng ibat ibang accent si Meryl streep kasi di niya dapat nakuha ang mga role kasi di naman sya German, French o British kaya dapat Kano lang role nya?

When u are sick, u go to a doctor. Pag may kaso, to a lawyer. We respect these professions pero hindi ang actor? Kasi bawal sila na gumanap ng role na Badjaw? O other IPs? Mainam kung meron actor na sama dilaut kaso wala po. Risk na nga ang show, maski casting irisk din?

The basher then posted his personal rating of Sahaya, which Suzette counteracted.
Ouch. Poorly written script. Sakit. Lol. Sorry po pasensya na sa panget na script ho namin. Pasensya. Gabaan na po ako. Kapal po kasi ng face ko na nagpipilit ako na dalhin sa inyo ang mga ganiting palabas pero di ko kaya. Pasensya ho.

Later on, the basher asked for forgiveness but asked Suzette to be open to criticism from the viewers for improvement.
Pwede ka mag critic. Di kita sinasaway. 🙂 pwede mong sabhin ang lahat. Inawat ba kita? Inaway? Hindi. Im too old for that. Ang dali din naman nag judge lalo na kung walang alam sa soap.

Suzette concluded her comment with an apology.
Wala pa naglalakas loob gunawa ng mga ibang soap, so@in the meantime, pagtyagaan muna ako. Sana me magaling na magaling na writer na dumating at talagang babago sa soap opera. Hanggat wala pa, pasensya na ho muna na ako gumagawa ng mga ginagawa ko. Sorry.
