    4. when you enter showbiz o kaya ang soc. med., dapat prepare yourself sa mga negatives. dapat strong ka and stable ang mental health. you cannot control others. or better stay away.

  2. Itong kyline laging pabida🙄, hindi naman ikaw ang bi-nash nang todo, kung hindi si carmina at mavy. Wala silang post na inuugnay ka, pero ikaw may post sa tiktok, at sa ig mo na ikaw pa ang victim, tse

  3. Don’t blame anyone. Public figures and officials handa dapat sa mga criticisms. Leave social media if you can’t handle the bashers. Mas uso yata sa mayayaman ang depression at anxiety. Mahinang nilalang lang ang generation ngayon sa totoo lang. Sobrang hirap ng buhay namin pero di ako nagpatalo sa hamon ng buhay. Ginapang kami ng mga magulang ko

    3. How crass just because your struggles are different than theirs doesn’t mean they don’t struggle for real. You only see their money because they have consistent work however showbiz is still cutthroat, and had to endure the bullying from the public and probably from their own cohorts to get where they are. Remember that some came from money some didn’t. I think you read the messages but didn’t comprehend it. Being a public figure doesn’t give everyone the right to bullied regardless.

    4. so pag public figures pwede mo na ibully kahit wala naman ginagawang masama

    5. eh si kyline at maris hindi naman bullying yun parang calling out yung sa ka ila kaze may ginawa nman talaga silang kababalaghan

    6. Agree. Mahihina ang loob dapat wag na mag social media kasi kahit anong gawin mo may masasabi pa rin ang mga tao lalo pag public figure ka. Kung kailangan mag post para sa work, wag na mag basa ng comments kasi may eepal talaga. Isisi pa sa ibang tao as if may pakialam mga yan at mapapakiusapan. Wag manghingi ng validation sa ibang taong hindi nag mamatter sayo

    10. Grabe naman sa mahinang nilalang. Millennial ako and unfair naman na tawagin silang mahinang nilalang generally. Dito sa corruption issue na ito, ang younger generation nga ang mas passionate because they have all the energy and mas idealistic sila. I still have hope for the youth. Di mo din sila masisi eh. Everything is somehow easier now. They're born na isang pindot lang andyan na ang info. Dati punta ka pang library to do the research. Na may app for their everyday need. Dati pag commute makikipaghabulan ka talaga sa jeep, ngayon susunduin ka pa sa bahay mo. Gusto mo ng pagkain, punta kang resto. Gusto mo grocery, punta kang supermarket. Ngayon isang pindot lang idedeliver right into your doorstep. Whatever strikes your fancy can be delivered to your house. Pera lang katapat. Gusto mong makilala o mag artista. Sumayaw ka lang sa camera using your mobile phone and upload it to social media. May chance ka ng mapansin. Because that's what's social media is all about. Magpapansin. The youth have the opportunity to earn money without even going to school. Mag YouTube lang sila at naswertehan, kikita na sila.
      Technology made life easier for them. Something na hindi natin naranasan perhaps for the first 20 years of our lives. That if you'd want something, talaga namang oras, effort, dugo't pawis ang kailangan. In short, mahirap. Wasn't easy.
      So perhaps mas mahaba lang ang patience, resilience and tolerance level nating matatanda.

    11. Ano bang kinakagalit niyo kay 12:27 nag sasabi lang naman siya ng totoo. Tho may off sa ibang sinabi niya, pero yung pinoint out niya wag na kayo manisi ng ibang tao kung may option naman kayo na hindi sila pansinin at stop using any social media platforms kung mag titrigger lang sa anxiety or depression niyo. Yan ang sinasabi choose your battles. Pag nakita at napansin ng ibang tao na ganun ka mag handle ng sarili mo for sure may ibang gagaya sayo at mababawasan ang mga nega online. Wala ng magagawa sa mga taong warfreak madami ng masasamang loob ngayon. Ang best thing to do manahimik na lang at maging role model sa pagiging unbothered. Yung ibang hindi kaya ang ganun seek professional help kung may budget. Kung walang budget, bitawan mo na lang gadgets at mag isip ng ibang gagawin. Kung wala naman kakayahan or inborn yung may mental issue eh prayer na lang na gabayan sila ni Lord at yung mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila.

    14. @12:27 I completely disagree with that take. Criticism is part of being a public figure, yes, but there’s a clear line between constructive criticism and cruelty disguised as opinion. Social media has normalized verbal abuse and mob mentality, and pretending that toughness means tolerating harassment is a shallow way of looking at mental strength.
      Depression and anxiety are not “uso” or signs of weakness; they’re real, medically recognized conditions that affect people regardless of wealth or status. The idea that only the rich feel them is not just false, it’s harmful. If anything, being rich or famous can make it harder to seek help because of constant public scrutiny.
      And it even got worse in the Philippines when Duterte and his cronies took over and created troll farms that viciously attack anyone who dares to speak against the Dutertes, their family, and their allies. They spread cruel, fabricated insults and dehumanizing lies against anyone who challenges them. Duterte started this toxic culture of online bullying and hate, and it’s alarming how this behavior has been tolerated and normalized for so long!

    15. 12:27, 1:52 No. Sorry, that’s the dumbest argument. Kahit public figure sila, tao lang din sila. Criticize them sa work nila hindi sa kung anong pinapaniwalaan nila, character nila. Basta di sila gumagawa ng masama. Hindi natural sa tao ang mambash, mangyurak ng iba, tandaan nyo yan!! Ipasok nyo sa utak nyo na dapat pagiging mabuti sa kapwa ang ninonormalize!!

    17. As a mom, Emman Atienza’s story hit differently. It made me realize even more how the first years build their emotional world. Our presence now becomes their inner peace later. I pray we all raise kids who grow up kind — especially to themselves.

    18. Sorry but i agree on this. Mga posts ni emman were saying how she got affected by cyber bullying. Mga bata ngayon totoo din na mahihina ang loob. Konting kibot lang nagkaka depression. Sad kung anong generation na meron tayo ngayon na we let technology rule over us. Nakakamiss tlg ung buhay nung araw. May emman find the peace she wanted..condolences to the family..nakakalungkot napaka masyaahin ni emma sa videos nya.

    19. Grabe naman yung mahinang nilalang. Sakit po ang depression at need ng medication and therapy. Di po gusto ng tao kahit na rich or poor na magkaron ng ganoon sakit, kahit nga po todo na ang dasal mo, di po eto madaling labanan. Be careful po sa words niyo, dahil nakaka-trigger po yan.

    22. Ikaw ang Isa sa mga taong walang compassion sa mental health battles ng iba. Napaka T ng comment mo, I work in the psychology field and travelled the world. Anong pang mayaman pinag sasabi mo! Sana kilabutan ka kahit konti at lahat ng may same mentality as yours. Pray na wala sa family mo or close friends ang mawala ng dahil mental health battles. Thank heavens your anonymous.

    23. Agree naman ako na if soc med is pulling you down mentally, mas maganda to stay away from it. Pero hindi din naman tama na mang bully ka in any way.

      Delete
    24. People comment as if they victim DID NOT expose herself to SM...Giusto nya yun..alam nya maduming laro, she persisted and her parents just didn't do anything about it...Mahirap o mayaman doesn't matter..expect both and good and bad responses from your posts..SM is not for the faint of heart. You cannot control others, just control yourself for your own peace of mind

    25. OP and 9:18 anong pinagsasabi nyo? she was bullied in high school, matinding bullying —she sent a bare pic of herself to a person she trusted but end up her pic was shared to the entire school, for a 13 year old her privacy and body image were violated. Any teener will have mental issues regardless of economic and power status at school because of that incident. Fast forward instead of the bullying is limited to her school, it is the entire social media, why ? because she was very opinionated yet very fragile to handle soc med scrutiny, her lack of soc med guidance and lack of maturity on topics of what she posted sealed her faith , she could not handle it. Anyone suffering from mental health issues and not confident with their own body should be forbidden to own a public soc med account or engage in public at all because it will get to you.

    27. 7:13, no. She was the one with the exagerated restaurant bill which was posted as a joke. Tapos biglang pumutok yung issue ng dpwh so nabash siya ng bongga. Dun sa Toni Talks, she clarified hindi naman daw too yung 6 digitd na bill. Nagbibiruan lang sila ng mga friends niya and she decided to post that video. Ayun, she got criticized ng malala eh frgaile na talaga ang kanyang mental health due to past abuse.

      Tapos she is anti DDS. She got cursed, received death threats etc just because she expressed her political stance.

  6. Remembered back 2016Jessy Mendiola was the first who cried for help about the soc bashing, open up about her struggles of depression ,even seeks professional help ,but still the comments still harsh taboo pa nung time na yon talking about it publicly by God’s grace she recovered,,nowadays everyone is talking and more open about it ,accept one’s situation,but why mas Madaming nangyayari na hindi kaaya aya sa mga nag struggle about mental health ,Prayers to everyone who are fighting their battles

    1. This. They think their battle and how it is perceived is same as everyone else, when in fact they were not diagnosed of something like Emman. Until now they do not know what clinically diagnosed is. And they keep on telling their surpassed life stories disguised as giving inspiration, when in fact they're just rabbing it to those struggling faces "you're weak. Look at me, im strong". Jeeezzz ang cringe sa totoo lang, nasa maling thread kayo.

  9. Don’t generalise what is personal. Depression and anxiety is not just ‘uso for mayayaman’, it is an illness. You don’t even know who is suffering or not. Be mindful. A little kindness will go a long way

    1. 1:25 In denial lang mga pinoy lol. Bakit madaming lasenggo at adik sa pilipinas? Bakit may epidemic dahil sa online gambling at sabong? Bakit babad sa social media ang mga tao sa pinas relative to everybody else in the world? Bakit madaming political extremists, religious cults? Bakit uso ang pyramid schemes? The same way na ang pinakamalulupit at discriminatory na na tao sa mga bakla ay yung mga closet gay themselves, ang mga pinoy ganyan din sa mental illness--pinoys are closeted mentally ill people who hide behind smiles and shallow behaviors. Yung mga societal problems natin all point to psychological pain, chronic stress, and trauma na hindi navavalidate at natitreat.

  10. I know we all have the right to do whaf we want to do such as social media. It's not evil in itself but some people who are in it are. You can also choose to get off it. It isn't taking away what you're supposed to have but it's taking your peace back, controlling what you can and taking your life back. No life is ever worth ending for those pieces of sh*theads making you feel like you're worthless. We all react differently. Be true to yourself, if you can handle it, by all means keep using it. But if it starts to take away your identity and peace, let it go.

    I am so sorry for her parents. No parents should have to bury their child.

  12. Yung mga bad things and situations, they will surely come kaya need mo din i-manage ang stress mo. Iwas iwas din sa mga bagay na nakaka stress. Having social media naman is not required and if you really wanna play and earn then be smart din. At the same time, yung mga bata lately, parang ginagawang uso uso din yung depression at mental health. May hindi lang nakuha nag mental breakdown na. Taboo ang depression before and need ng awareness pero now naman nasa opposite end na

  13. Mas ok wag mag social media maraming sikat na Hollywood stars walang social media ( Scarlett Johansson, DiCaprio etc.) meron naman pages pero may iba nag ha handle, meron naman active pero dedma sa bashers example Beyonce, pwede ka parin mag social media and share what you want but turn off replies, don't engage, focus on your family and friends, support groups

  14. Avoid social media if mahina mental health. Guide and monitor your precious children.

  15. A gentle reminder to all parents: be mindful of who takes care of your children. Sometimes, the people we trust the most can unknowingly become the source of their lifelong trauma. It always starts at our own home. 💔

  16. Social media can be cruel. When you put yourself out there, you open yourself to everyone else's opinion. You have to be prepared. People will either love you or hate you and some will just throw shade at you just because they can. And its so easy to hide behind dummy accounts. But you have to remember that its a virtual world. Its not real. Whats important is you know your truth, your values and your principles. I hope we can all use this technology with empathy.

    1. 8:06 We can call them out - in a nice way. Sobra din kasi mga tao eh. Hindi sa nitotolerate ko ginawa niya pero she made a bad decision and we hope she learned something from it and heal and move on. I'm sure something in her got broken as well. I also hope the other girl is healing well.

      Imagine if it was your sister who did what Maris did. Or pinsan. Or a friend. Or malay mo, gawin ng anak mong babae yun? I never cheated but I can understand that good people make bad decisions. I have a friend at kakilala who did that, hindi ko iniwan. Hindi rin daw nila alam bakit kahit alam nilang mali ginawa pa din nila. Yung isa galing sa abusive family, yung isa has a never ending feud with her mom. I am no psychologist, but maybe their background is a factor. I also know cheating is never justified kasi it's a conscious choice. But then again, lahat tayo nagkakamali.

      Tinago samin, lived a double life. Pinagalitan ko, sinabihan ko at sinuportahan ko ang pagbabago. Actually nahiya ako sa pinagagawa nila pero they are good friends. Mali lang talaga ginawa nila in their personal lives pero whom am I to judge? Choice ko patawarin sila
      at lawakan pag iisp. Because maybe, they also need help? Maayos na sila ngayon. Nagsisi na. Rebuilt their lives. Because life goes on. We live and we learn. And we can learn a lot from them.

  19. in my opinion di talaga healthy na mag social media ang mga taong me pinagdadaanan lalo na mental health. parang ang dapat unahin is to seek professional help or talk to close family and friends na aalalay sayo.. social media is a different universe we cant impose kindness base sa isang content lang pag nilapag mo kasi sa online available na yan for other people to give their opinion na minsan below the belt! so ang problema talaga eh dont go online for your peace of mind! totoo naman na hindi natin alam ang pinagdadaanan ng lahat ng tao sa isang post lang! pero again better not to expose yourself kung ikaw mismo eh sarili mo alam mong dimo ma filter mga sasabihin ng tao! dont share its not helping you! kasi yung excuse na pakelam niyo ba account ko mag post ako! pero hello para mong inopen ang sarili mo sa lahat!

  21. Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety are real illnesses that can affect anyone, regardless of age, status, or wealth. These conditions are not simply a matter of choice or weakness, they are often caused by an imbalance in the brain’s chemicals, which can disrupt a person’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Just like physical illnesses, mental health problems require proper care, understanding, and sometimes medication to restore balance and well-being.

  25. Kung sigurado nagpakamatay lang si Emman because of social media hate, maybe I might say na mababaw o mahinang nilalang sya gaya ng mga nababasa ko sa comment ng mga taong walang empathy. Pero hindi eh, may underlying issue na sya. Maybe socmed trigger or nagpalala lang. Can't blame her kasi nga sa pinagdaanan nya before at some time napasaya sya ng socmed.
