Controversies

The series is deemed controversial due to its racial and ethnic stereotyping of Filipinos with dark skin. The lead actress Barbie Forteza dons a blackface.[6] Her fair complexion is painted black to portray the role of an orphaned Filipino/African-American child. For the first episode, an infant is also painted black for several scenes which includes the birth scene of Nita Negrita. Critics also blasted the series for the poor make-up, Nita Negrita's skin color resembles that of charcoal, an obvious exaggeration of African-American skin color.[7]
