Others, meanwhile, likened Dela Torre holding a huge barrier to that of the Lolita character in the game “Mobile Legends,” who has a skill that produces a giant shield as well.
“Moira tank build,” Twitter user @dailymively, meanwhile, posted, quoting another user’s Tweet that put photos from the said mobile game and from the Dela Torre video side by side.

Despite the giant shield, some netizens pointed out that Dela Torre still risked COVID-19 infection as she still ended up sharing her mic with a member of the audience at the event.
The video originated from a TikTok user with the handle @atenyochona, who appears to be the said audience member to whom Moira passed her mic on.
It was not disclosed what the event was or when it was held. Meanwhile, Dela Torre has yet to comment on the viral video as of this writing. /ra
