In a bold move that has electrified the online community, Anne Curtis is making waves after taking a stand on the controversial 2024 Philippine budget, following damning remarks from former Department of Finance Undersecretary Cielo Magno. Curtis shared a gripping interview on her X account where Magno, now a UP School of Economics associate professor, unleashed a scathing critique of the budget allocation, claiming it was “doctored” after the bicameral meeting.
Magno revealed shocking figures, noting that the Senate’s budget ballooned by 2 billion pesos, while the House of Representatives saw a staggering 12 billion peso increase. This revelation has sparked outrage and questions about transparency in government spending.
Anne echoed these sentiments, expressing her disbelief: “Their budget is huge. It really makes you question things. How is each department’s performance so far? It’s heartbreaking.”
The explosive post quickly went viral, igniting passionate discussions across social media. Netizens praised Anne for fearlessly using her platform to spotlight government spending issues. One Reddit user commented, “Anne is right; where are the billions of funds during times of typhoons and disasters?” Another declared her a “true queen—socially aware, humble, and always advocating for what’s right.”
Anne Curtis has proven once again that she is not just a beloved celebrity but a powerful voice for accountability and transparency, rallying fans and followers to demand answers about the nation’s budget.
