Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla have been officially chosen as ambassadors of Cybersmile Foundation, an international non-profit organization committed to the fight against cyberbullying.

As the launch of the anti-cyber bullying campaign of KathNiel was done, Bernardo talked about the negative effects of cyberbullying. 

“Dumating ako sa point na nagkulong ako sa kwarto at hindi ako kumakausap ng tao at sobrang na-depress ako… Sana mas maging awareang mga tao na seryoso ang bagay na ito,” Bernardo said. (I came to a point where I just locked myself in my room, I didn’t talk to anyone, and I was so depressed. I hope people would be more aware of how serious this matter is.)

Knowing that anyone could be a victim of cyber bullying, she used her personal experience as her principal motivation to engage in this advocacy. “Na-experience naming kung paano ito kasakit at ayaw na naming lumala pa ito at ma-experience pa ng maraming tao, lalo na ng mga kabataan.”  (We have experienced how this hurts; we don’t want this to get worse and be experienced by others, more so by the youth.)

According to Padilla, their advocacy along with DICT is set to come up with a “sapat na pangil” against cyberbullies.

“Hindi sila pwedeng nanggaganon lang ng tao na hindi nila kilala. Hindi pwedeng nang-aapi lang sila ng tao out of nowhere,” he added.
