Bela discussed the issue during her appearance on the latest vlog episode of her “Life After You” co-star Maricel Soriano, released on Saturday, September 5. Among the topics they tackled was the growing problem of being chronically online and how constant exposure to digital content may affect people.
The actress admitted that the situation has become particularly troubling for her as she observes reports of violent incidents happening in schools.
“Which I find very disturbing,” said Bela.

“May isa akong interview na binanggit ko ‘to. Nagwo-worry po ako sa generation ngayon, lalo ngayon ang dami nating nakikita na mga nangyayari sa schools na very violent, ‘di ba?”
Bela then reflected on how different the viewing experience was when she was growing up, particularly during a time when television programs were more structured and could be monitored by parents.
She noted that television viewers generally had an idea of what kind of material they were about to watch, while parents could also step in when they felt certain scenes were inappropriate for children.
“Kahit papaano, alam mo kung ano 'yong i-expect mo sa TV today, 'di ba. At mayro'n kang magulang na magsasabing, 'Oops, 'wag mong papanoorin ang part na 'to,’” Bela emphasized.
She also pointed out that television programs came with ratings and were limited by their scheduled airtime, giving viewers opportunities to pause or step away from what they were watching.
“And may rating ang TV. Parang rated PG o kung anoman. Ta's ang isang palabas po dati halos isang oras. At may commercial pa 'yon. Humihinga ka po sa gitna.”
According to Bela, social media presents a different challenge because videos can appear one after another with little warning, creating abrupt shifts in tone and subject matter.
“Kapag nag-scroll ka, kahit sa Instagram lang, video ng asong sumasayaw. One minute, sumasaya ka. [....] Next video, giyera. Mga batang putol-putol ang kamay. Na hindi dati natin napapanood sa TV,” she said.
Her remarks highlighted her concern about how easily young viewers can encounter disturbing material online, even when they initially begin scrolling through social media for harmless entertainment.
Rather than focusing solely on the amount of time children spend online, Bela’s comments emphasized another concern: the unpredictable nature of the content that may reach them within just a few scrolls.
Bela Padilla (born Krista Elyse Ramona Hidalgo Sullivan) is a acclaimed British-Filipino actress, screenwriter, film director, and television host. She is widely recognized for her standout performances in hit Filipino films like 100 Tula Para Kay Stella and Meet Me in St. Gallen, as well as for her behind-the-camera work as a screenwriter and director.
In another report, Bela Padilla criticized Senator Bato dela Rosa following the circulation of a viral video that appeared to show him shouting at a female reporter. The senator had recently returned to the Senate after months away amid changes in the chamber’s leadership. Public attention also grew after a reported attempt by the NBI to serve an ICC arrest warrant at the Senate compound, although the effort was unsuccessful. Bela questioned the accountability expected from public officials, including their attendance and responsibilities while serving in office.
Meanwhile, Bela Padilla opened up about the challenges confronting Filipino filmmakers and shared insights from her experiences in the international film scene. She recalled attending events in Davos and Venice, where she witnessed the admiration Filipino cinema receives from audiences abroad. Bela also expressed support for a proposed measure seeking to address long-standing concerns in the industry, including fair equity and stronger protection for women working on film sets. She emphasized the importance of taking pride in local cinema and called for greater efforts to support and uplift Filipino filmmakers.
