It was last Tuesday, October 13, when Liza Soberano spoke in a webinar spearheaded by the Gabriela Youth. It was there where she called up influencers to use their platforms to voice out on social issues on women and children.
A day later, internet trolls and bashers attempted to send hate towards her on Twitter because of her appearance on the webinar, trending the hashtag #BoycottLizaSoberano.
Netizens and supporters were quick to defend the actress, using the hashtag to send messages of support towards her.
The fact that y'all tweeting #BoycottLizaSoberano only means that men FEARS WOMEN who are educated, cultured, and hates patriarchy and sexism. How can you hate someone who is just ✨FIGHTING FOR HER RIGHTS✨?

#BoycottLizaSoberano trending proves what misogynistic of a society we really have. Women has been conformed to be treated as the weaker kind for so long that younger ones stepping up to abolish that poses a threat to some, who are most likely to be enablers of that practice too.

That's why, you just don't go #BoycottLizaSoberano, bec if you do, then we know who you are—misogynists, sexists, cavemen, and fanatics of a frail old man who calls himself a strongman. Pweh.

As she said in the webinar, Liza was admittedly afraid to speak up against social issues on women and children in the past. However, she had a changed perspective last September, when a telecom employee made a rape joke against her.
This prompted her to file a complaint against the employee, with another reason being people should know that there are consequences behind their actions.
