In the wake of the death of content creator Emman Atienza, actress and global endorser Gabbi Garcia took to X again to remind everyone about the culture of bullying online.

Gabbi reiterated in her post the effects of spreading hate on social media.

The Pinoy Big Brother host explained, “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,” the Sparkle actress added.

She then encouraged her followers to use their words and social media platforms to uplift everyone.

“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.”
