"To 4 year old Hope, who's in the midst of a painful, upside down world, just trying to stay a child, thank you.

I know you must be wondering why I'm sharing our story, why now, and why this?" she had written in her now-viral online post.

Her post also included an alarming statistic from the US Department of State: "As of 2022, 1.48 million Filipino children aged 5 to 17 were working, much in hazardous conditions. As many as 100,000 Filipino children are exploited in pr*sti*ution, and thousands more in forced labor."

For Liza, using her voice goes beyond her career as an entertainer. "As an actress, my job is to entertain, but as a public figure, my responsibility is to speak up on the things that matter, from a place that matters," she emphasized, earning praise from her fans and followers on social media.
