Sahaya

Sahaya

Sahaya is a young woman who belongs to the Badjaw, an ethnic group known as “sea gypsies”. Other than her beauty and intelligence, the Badjaws believe Sahaya is blessed among others when she was revived in her mother’s womb after losing her heartbeat. Growing up in war-torn Mindanao, she escaped death many times. Sahaya is also a healer and can see visions in her dreams. Due to the ravages of war in her province, she is displaced and decides to move to the city.

Sahaya quickly realizes that the city is no kinder than the place she escaped from. She meets people who discriminate against her because of her heritage. Eventually, she is torn between the love of Ahmad, a fellow Badjaw, and Jordan, a city lad. Will her new world bring Sahaya happiness and peace? Or will she return to her roots to find her purpose and destiny?
