“Huwag Kang Mangamba - is a serye which covers issues concerning family/parenthood, political, social and religion (faith). This is an eye-opener for all na hindi tayo nag-iisa dahil palagi nasa tabi natin si “Bro.” Thank you @DreamscapePH @ABSCBN for coming up with this project,” shared @julius_altavano.

@_merixx also commented, “First episode pa lang grabe ‘yung impact nung mga eksena. Sobrang relatable ng pangyayari lalo na ‘yung kay Joy na nararanasan talaga ng mga kabataan. Sobrang galing tagos sa puso bawat aksyon at linyang binabato. #HKMAngPagdating.”

While @shane_andreaa shared, “Grabe ang galing ni Andrea napaiyak nya ako kahit bulag sya kaya nya tumayo sa sariling paa nya at lagi syang nagpapasalamat kay Bro dahil ligtas sya araw-araw. You nailed it @iamandrea_b.”
