On Instagram, Pops expressed her support towards the Lunas Collective's FamiLigtas campaignby posting a series of photos which calls for action regarding the abuse.

“Stop gender-based violence...#stopGBV,” she wrote.

According to its page, FamiLigtas is a campaign that “seeks to build awareness about Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and how one can seek help even during COVID-19.”

Lunas Collective is a volunteer-powered chat service in the Philippines that provides support services for victims and survivors of gender-based violence and abuse.

This campaign is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

GBV's scope not only includes physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, and psychological abuse but threats and coercion, among others.
