#BoycottLizaSoberano trended on Twitter – here’s why

A day after actress Liza Soberano spoke at a Gabriela Youth webinar, calling for influencers to speak up on issues, internet trolls went to work trying to make the hashtag #BoycottLizaSoberano trend on Wednesday, October 14.

Soberano was a guest during the Mga Tinig ni Nene: Reclaiming Our Voices on the International Day of the Girl Child, where she talked about her experience in using her voice to call for change.

Naturally, fans and supporters – including K-Pop stans –  came to the rescue as they flooded the hashtag with memes and messages of support.

In September, Soberano filed a complaint against an online user for a rape joke against her. She said she filed the complaint because she wants people to understand the consequences of their actions. – Rappler.com
