The rising actress and social media personality is currently making waves online after netizens began targeting the children of alleged corrupt politicians and officials, who continue to flaunt their wealth despite the ongoing probes and controversies involving their families.

“Eh pa’no ba ‘yan, nasa political dynasty ‘yung pamilya ko? Controversial,” this was what she said previously in one of her clips, where she was asked about what she could say about her family’s hold on political power in their hometown.
