Lans addresses comparisons and online comments

Recently, Lans spoke up after some netizens compared her to other women online.

In a Facebook post, Lans shared that women do not need to follow a single standard or image to be respected.

“A woman can be confident, expressive, feminine, strong, matalino, creative, o simply comfortable being herself by posting photos, -dressing a certain way, or expressing themselves (ourselves) online,” Lans said.

She added that a woman’s clothing should never be seen as an invitation for disrespect or harassment.

In a separate Facebook post on June 21, Lans also encouraged her followers to stop comparing and bashing other content creators.

“Iba-iba po kasi ang niche natin, mapa-lifestyle man yan, skits, pranks, sports, educational, motivational/inspirational, at marami pa pong iba. May kanya-kanya pong pagkakakilanlan ang bawat isa at pinaghirapan po nila ‘yon. At sumusuporta rin po ako sa iba't ibang content creators natin, as long as wala kaming natatapakang tao,” Lans said. —JCB, GMA News
