The MonoVlog is a genre of online performance that bundles the various Filipino lockdown experiences as a proof of life, a private conversation in social media, a health advisory, a tribute to frontliners, a death folder, a shout-out to advocacy groups, a community-led response to the pandemic, and a call for help. These components serve as the influences and substances of monologues that follow the vlogging format.

She won the Outstanding Female Featured Performance Award in the 2012 Philstage Gawad Buhay Awards for her performance in Philippine Educational Theater Association's (PETA) Bona.
