Alongside her statement, she shared photos taken during the rally and screenshots from YouTube hearings on the issue. In her reflections, she noted the importance of documenting the unfolding events, and tagged several companies, "Someone needs to make a multi-episode documentary."

But Bianca did not stop at highlighting corruption. She also opened up a wider discussion on wages, cost of living, and the challenges faced by Filipinos. Sharing a post from @peso.weekly about income disparity, she wrote, "This piece about the disparity also struck me. But also, I remember hearing a DPWH engineer's salary is 70k/month. Is that enough? And I think of the theft that exists in other sectors and industries. Greed is another thing but with such low salaries across the board, 15/20/30k just sounds like it isn't enough to thrive. What if you have children?"

Bianca further emphasized that many sectors in the country deserve higher, more sustainable wages that reflect the real cost of living. "Another thought. I always felt that the F&B industry, domestic help industry, healthcare, education, and maybe? DPWH deserve higher salaries that are realistic to the cost of giving their families a good life," she explained in her now-viral post.
