Sa magkakahiwalay nilang social media posts, ibinahagi nila ang kanilang saloobin tungkol sa kahalagahan ng pagiging mabuti sa kapwa, lalo na sa mga panahong marami ang dumaranas ng anxiety, depression, at iba pang mental health struggles.
Maris Racal
Sa pamamagitan ng sa X (dating Twitter), nagbigay ng mensahe si Maris Racal sa mga taong may matinding pinagdaraanan ngayon sa buhay.

Aniya, nawa'y malagpasan ng mga ito ang pagsubok—piliin nilang lumaban at magpatuloy.
Mababasa sa post ni Maris (published as is): "Hey guys. Extra hugs to everyone out there who’s struggling mentally.
"I’m really praying you find that helping hand, the light at the end of the tunnel, and the faith to keep going no matter how hard things get.
"Kapit."
KYLINE ALCANTARA
Sa Facebook naman naglabas ng saloobin ni Kyline Alcantara tungkol sa pagpili ng mga bibitawang salita sa sinuman—mapa-artista man o simpleng mamamayan.
Ani Kyline, laging piliing maging mabuti, lalo na't walang nakakaalam sa pinagdaraanan ng mga taong nakakasalamuha o nakikita natin online.
Mababasa sa kanyang post (published as is): "Sometimes the pain we do not see is the heaviest to carry.
"Words can lift someone up or push them deeper into their silence.
"Bullying, mocking, and cruelty leave scars that are not always visible.
"Be kind. Always. You never know what someone is going through behind their smile.
"Choose empathy over judgment and gentleness over hate.
"Your words have power. Use them to heal, not to harm.
"Let’s end this cruelty. Let’s choose kindness, every time."
GABBI GARCIA
Halos ganito rin ang panawagan ng Kapuso TV host-actress na si Gabbi Garcia nang mag-post siya sa kanyang X.
Sentiyemento ni Gabbi, makapangyarihan ang bawat salita, kaya't dapat lamang na gamitin ito upang mag-angat, hindi para manira.
Saad niya (published as is): "Throwing hate, bullying, trolling, and bashing online can cause a deep and lasting toll on a person.
"This will NEVER be okay. Many people are already silently struggling with personal battles we don’t see.
"The effects on mental health are real. Anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and sometimes even irreversible decisions.
"It’s time to break this cycle of hate. Imagine if we used these platforms not to tear each other down, but to lift each other up, with compassion, empathy, and understanding… Words are powerful. Use them to uplift, not to destroy."
BINI MALOI
Maging si Maloi ng P-pop girl group na BINI, ipinaalala rin sa kanyang followers sa X kung ano ang masamang epekto ng isang mapanghusgang komunidad.
Sabi niya (published as is), "look how words can end a beautiful soul. do you feel better now?
"Rest in peace Emman Atienza. God will embrace your light."
ZACK TABUDLO
Nagbahagi rin ng mensaheng nagsusulong ng pagmamalasakit sa kapwa ang singer na si Zack Tabudlo.
Sentiyemento ng The Voice Kids Philippines coach, sa halip na mambash ay piliing maging mabait, magpakita ng pagmamahal, at mag-angat ng kapwa anuman ang katayuan at hitsura ng mga ito sa buhay.
Post niya sa Facebook (pblished as is): "I hope we never forget the power of our words. Behind every screen is a real person with real feelings.
"Let’s always choose to be kind, to show love, and to lift each other up.
"No one should ever feel broken because of hate. Please let’s make kindness the norm, always."
YEN SANTOS
Dahil sa mga nangyayari, hindi naiwasang balikan ni Yen Santos kung paano siya sinubok at pinatatag ng mga batikos na kanyang natatanggap mula pa noon.

Ngunit hindi raw lahat ay kagaya niya na may lakas ng loob na harapin ito, kaya naman pakiusap niya ay tigilan na ang anumang klase ng pambabatikos at panatiliing maging mabuti sa kapwa.
Mababasa sa post niya sa Facebook (published as is): "I've been one of the most bashed people out there, and honestly, I still don't know how I've managed to endure the cruel and painful words thrown my way.
"They cut deep, deeper than most people realize. and it's never as easy as 'just ignore it,' because no matter what you do, hate always finds its way.
"I'm just grateful I've developed the strength to handle it... but I know not everyone has that same strength."
