Media appearances
In March 2022, Cabral appeared on Toni Gonzaga's YouTube talk show, where she discussed her experiences as a single mother raising two children with autism. She candidly spoke about a particularly difficult period in her life, when she struggled with thoughts of ending her own life and that of her children. This heartfelt disclosure moved host Gonzaga to tears. Cabral explained that a message from her child's math notebook became a turning point, encouraging her to seek help and begin her journey toward recovery. She has since undergone counseling and continues to receive mental health support.[7][8]
In 2022, Cabral also took part in the ABS-CBN YouTube series Parent Experiment, alongside Nyoy Volante and Matt Evans.
