MANILA – Viewers of ABS-CBN drama anthology "Maalaala Mo Kaya" were sent to tears while watching the life story of Caitlin Soleil Lucas, more known by the monicker "Courageous Caitie," on Saturday.

Lucas suffered from juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and passed away at a hospital in Singapore last March.

While watching, many netizens took to Twitter to express how inspired they were of Lucas’s bravery in fighting her illness that the official hashtag for the episode became one of the most talked about topics in the Philippines.

Some netizens also praised Shaina Magdayao and JC de Vera, who played the role of Lucas’ parents.

Before the episode was aired, Lucas’s real-life parents said they don't want just to make viewers cry or be inspired by their daughter's story but for them to "be moved to do something and to practice their faith" and "to understand grace and to find ways to grow in their relationship with Jesus."

"If sharing difficult milestones and the death of Caitie will point people to Jesus, then OK," they said in a post on Facebook. "It's our only reason to say yes to this. It is our deepest desire that those who followed our story will indeed experience a personal relationship and a revival."

Below is the scene where Lucas said her last "I love you" to her parents.
