Actress and celebrity mom Iwa Moto is standing her ground after receiving condescending remarks about her live selling on TikTok earlier this week. Known for her candid personality, Iwa used her platform to defend not only herself but the dignity of all hardworking online sellers.

Iwa, who has embraced online selling as a way to earn a living while staying home with her family, shared how the work has been both financially rewarding and personally fulfilling. But during one recent live broadcast, she encountered a comment that belittled her job—a remark she refused to ignore.

“I choose to stay here at home and do live selling so I can earn plus be with my family. So guys, wag na wag na wag niyong mamaliitin ang mga online sellers. We are working our ass off, we are doing our best, and we are not hurting anyone, okay?” she firmly said to her viewers.

The actress-businesswoman stressed that what she does is decent and legal, far from the scams some people might wrongly associate with online selling.

“This is a decent job, hindi katulad ng mga scam. B*tch, no, you do not do that. Not here, not on my platform,” she declared, making it clear she would not tolerate disrespect in her space.

For Iwa, no job—big or small—should be looked down upon. She revealed that her earnings from live selling have allowed her to send her children to good schools, proving the value and honor in her work.

“Never never underestimate any job—mapa janitor, mapa kahit ano yan. Marangal na trabaho ito, okay? Alam niyo ba na itong pag-li-live selling ko, napag-aaral ko yung mga anak ko sa mga magagandang eskwelahan… Lahat ng trabaho na tama, na marangal, wag na wag niyong mamaliitin,” she emphasized.

In closing, Iwa vowed to keep defending the dignity of honest work, especially for those striving to make a living through nontraditional means like online selling.

“Maliit man yan o malaki… never ever, lalo na yung mga naghihirap at nagsusumikap, never ever gawin na maliitin. Lalo na sa platform ko. Ako mismo, makakalaban mo,” she said.

With her unapologetic stance, Iwa Moto continues to champion respect for all forms of livelihood—reminding everyone that marangal na trabaho is always worth defending.
