Liza Soberano among Asia Summit 2024 speakers alongside Choi Si-won, Manny Jacinto

Liza Soberano attended the Asia Summit 2024 in Singapore as one of the speakers, brushing elbows with international celebrities including K-pop artist Choi Si-won and Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto.

Soberano, as the ambassador for Save the Children Philippines, spoke about the need for “better and more educational children’s content in Southeast Asia.”

“In most developed nations, they have TV programs, movies and a lot of different things that are geared towards educating children, uplifting children,” she said in one part of her discussion, as seen in the clip on Milken Institute’s Instagram page on Friday, Sept. 20.

“For Southeast Asia, I feel like there needs to be more importance given to those different aspects, especially because we have some of the youngest demographic in the world,” she continued. “I think it’s important that we start investing or finding ways to invest in content creators who are giving priority, or prioritizing educating the youth.”
