In the first photo, the actress and advocate reflected on the ongoing impact of the storms:
“The storms may have passed, but their effects continue to ripple through countless lives. While some of us return to normal, many families remain displaced, still struggling to rebuild what was lost. These are not just acts of nature. They are the painful results of negligence and greed that have long plagued our system.”
She stressed that the devastation is not only natural but worsened by systemic failures and mismanagement.

Another image highlighted the misuse of funds intended for disaster prevention:
“Billions have been allocated for flood control, yet communities continue to drown. Forests that could have protected us have been stripped away. When funds meant to safeguard lives are stolen, every loss becomes a preventable tragedy. Accountability is not optional. It is a moral duty owed to every Filipino whose home, livelihood, and future were swept away by corruption.”
Here, Iza pointed out that corruption and negligence amplify the impact of natural disasters, turning them into preventable tragedies.
A third caption focused on preparedness, response, and national responsibility:
“Natural disasters will always come, but how we prepare, protect, and respond will define who we are as a nation. We can no longer look away. Let this be a turning point for vigilance, compassion, and collective courage, not only in times of crisis but in the everyday choices that shape the country we want to rebuild.”
She urged Filipinos to adopt a proactive mindset, emphasizing that national resilience is built through vigilance and collective effort.
In the post’s main caption, Iza encouraged empathy and community action:
“May we keep each other safe, aware, and kind, choosing empathy in moments big and small. Every act of compassion, whether a donation, a share, or a prayer, ripples outward.”
She also shared a list of trusted organizations for those who wish to help, including the Philippine Red Cross, Angat Buhay, Waves for Water Philippines, USC Philippines, WCF Philippines by SFEPI, Pawssion Project, and Planet Cara.
Iza concluded by calling for solidarity and participation in a nationwide movement:
“Community is strongest when we show up together. If you wish to stand in solidarity, I’ll see you on November 30, 2025 at the People Power Monument for the Trillion Peso March Movement. Magsama-sama tayo para sa Inang Bayan at sa ating mga Kababayan.”
Through her post, Iza Calzado highlighted the ongoing consequences of corruption and negligence while calling for compassion, vigilance, and collective action to support affected communities.
