One netizen replied, saying: “They cancelled you after your loveteam remarks only to be proven that you're right.” Liza responded thoughtfully, explaining her perspective on the issue: “Well thank you I guess hehe. I never really got to expound on why I personally think it’s ‘dangerous’ to be in a love team so it makes sense people got offended. They didn’t fully understand where I was coming from..”

Despite clarifying her stance, Liza admitted that she was still trying to understand the culture of online fan pairings. In a follow-up tweet, she wrote: “Wait now I’m even more confused hahaha. Gets na about love teams but who are the shippers and who is being shipped?”

A netizen attempted to provide context, commenting: “Willca po. Will ashley and bianca de vera from pbb collab s1.” Liza replied briefly, stating: “Looking into this.”

The exchange highlights Liza’s openness in engaging with her audience and her willingness to admit when she does not fully understand certain fan-driven phenomena. It also sheds light on the complexities of the “love team” culture in Philippine entertainment, where actors are often paired on-screen and off-screen, and online “shippings” can generate passionate discussions among fans.
