The actress shared a black-and-white photo of a man holding a placard with the message: “Hindi iniidolo ang politiko. Sila’y trabahador ng bayan.”
The repost quickly circulated online as many interpreted it as Barbie’s reaction to the recent political tensions involving the Senate, including the issues surrounding Ronald dela Rosa and the heated public discourse on accountability and governance.
Many netizens praised Barbie Imperial for speaking up and using her platform to share reminders about public service and responsible citizenship.
Some online users also pointed out that the actress has long been vocal about social and political issues.
“In fairness kay Barbie Imperial, maraming sinasabi tungkol sa personal life niya pero isa siya sa mga vocal on political issues noon pa,” one netizen wrote.
