Liza Soberano took to social media to express her concern about those who don't have the choice but to go out to work amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"My heart bleeds for all the people who cannot afford not to go out and work. They literally have to choose between dying of starvation or dying of covid," she tweeted.

The Kapamilya actress then asked, "Is our country really this poor to no be able to provide stimulus?? Genuine question lang po."
She pointed out that countries like the United States of America has already handed out stimulus to its citizens.
"America has received 2 rounds of stimulus already, waiting on the 3rd. Covid testing is free, vaccination is free. Where is the support for the poor in our country?" she said.

Liza added, "Madali lang naman po mag stay at home if everyone has food on the table and money to pay the bills."
One netizen then replied to Liza's tweet saying, "You're comparing our ‘poor’ country to the first world country? lmao. Yes Liza, our country is too poor to feed every filipino's mouth. So, don't expect that much. I still do appreciate your compassion tho."
In response to the netizen, Liza said, "So what do we do? Just sit back and wait for a miracle to happen? Pray that covid just disappears. I believe God works wonders but I believe that he gives us the instruments to make that happen. Sad thing is the instruments/decision making are not in our hands."
Hayy I honestly don’t even know if my tweets/ my voice is actually doing anything. We can only pray for compassion now. Good night everyone! God bless all of you. Stay home if you can. 🙏🏼❤️
