Heart Evangelista at Joy Barcoma, nagbanggaan ang pananaw sa pagpo-post ng pagtulong

• Heart Evangelista shared her thoughts on whether charitable acts should be posted on social media
• The actress admitted she previously avoided sharing outreach efforts because she viewed helping others as a personal matter
• She later recognized that public figures can use their platforms to raise awareness for worthy causes
• Joy Barcoma agreed that charity posts can inspire others but warned against exposing beneficiaries for publicity

Heart Evangelista and Joy Barcoma shared their views on the ongoing debate about posting charitable acts on social media during the pilot episode of The People Have Spoken!, where the studio audience also gave mixed opinions.

The discussion focused on whether helping individuals or organizations should be shared online, a question that drew divided responses from the 100-member audience known as “The People,” with opinions ranging from support to hesitation.

Heart said she once preferred to keep her outreach efforts private.

“For the longest time, no. Hindi kasi ako mahilig mag-post kasi ang iniisip ko kung ano ang tingin ni Lord ang tama, points ko na lang sa heaven. Sa afterlife ko lang iisipin,” she said.

She added that her perspective later changed as a public figure.

“But, [as] we are also public figures, in a sense, it's good to create awareness for certain organizations. So from time to time, it's a yes.”

Audience members also shared contrasting views.

One said, “Puwedeng yes, puwede no.”

While another explained:

“Bilang mahiyain, hindi ko kasi prefer na mag-post basta-basta… For me, it's a no.”

Joy Barcoma, meanwhile, took a more cautious but supportive stance on posting charity-related content online.

“Dapat nating i-post 'yung mga pagtulong natin sa social media, pero with an exception. Hangga't maaari, mag-post tayo nang hindi natin pinapakita 'yung itsura o kalagayan ng mga tinutulungan natin,” she said.

She strengthened her stance by going against exploitation of outreach works only chasing for clout.

She further stressed the importance of intent, saying,

“So yes, dapat natin siyang i-post kung ang goal natin is to inspire [and help] other people. Pero no to posting if ang goal lang natin is to cloutchase.”
