BINIGYAN ng malisya ang magandang intensiyon ni Anne Curtis para makalikom ng barya habang sakay siya sa Cebu Pacific plane from Cagayan de Oro to Manila. Hindi maganda ang naging comment ng dalawa sa Instagram (@annecurtismith) post ni Anne, kaya ipinagtanggol ng TV host-actress ang kanyang sarili.
Nag-post si Anne ng litrato habang nanghihingi siya ng barya, bitbit ang supot ng United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Matagal nang ambassador si Anne ng UNICEF.
“On last night’s flight from CDO I personally went around collecting change from the passengers for the Change for Good program of @unicefphils and @cebupacificair. I was able to collect 3 full bags.
Pagpapakasal dahil lang sa anak, 'di bet ni Janella Salvador
“Salamat sa lahat ng passengers and thank you for renewing this program with us! I truly hope this becomes a LIFETIME partnership! To all CEBUPAC passengers, next time you’re on a flight and the lovely F.A.’s come around with this bag know that you are helping children that benefit from the first 1000 days program of UNICEF. Your loose change goes a loooooong way. Salamat po.”
Nag-comment si @iamtoni1995, at si @pinaynailonggainny. Bakit daw hindi ibigay ni Anne ang sariling pera niya? Lahat daw ng ipinakikitang act of kindness ng mga celebrities ay “all for publicity”.
Depensa ni Anne: “@pinaynailonggainny With all due respect madam, trust me, I do my own part and donate from my own pocket on many other different occasions to UNICEF and my own foundation Dream Machine, BUT for this specific project, the main goal is using where I am to INSPIRE others to do good and donate loose change – ONLY IF THEY can.
“Mukha naman po silang masaya sa picure dahil nakatulong sila sa kapwa Pilipino nila. That’s why if you read my caption, I even pointed out na sana on future flights ng Cebu Pac, when you see the flight attendants passing around this bag, and you do have the extra change, kahit piso, it will go a long way in helping the Filipino children.
“This program is all about inspiring others to join the change for good movement and lend a helping hand to Filipino children that benefit from the first 1000 days program of UNICEF. I got to visit the municipality of Bobon, Northern Samar, where many children and mothers have benefitted from this program. Specially when it comes to proper nutrition for malnourished children and proper tools for early education in day care centers. This program alone has raised 40 million pesos and has helped children all over the Philippines.
“So, yes, I am proud to be part of a project that is making a difference in this world and will continue to use all my social media platforms to raise awareness and help inspire others to make a difference in the world and help our fellow countrymen. At least may ginagawa kami. Hindi nganga and puro complaining on social media instead of actually doing something.
“Sana po if you get the chance to fly Cebu Pacific ‘pag nasa Pinas po kayo, mag-donate din po kayo. Kung hindi nakakahiya sa inyo. And I thank you. Sending love & light to you, madam!”
Ang dalawang ito, naghulog kaya kahit piso sa supot ni Anne?
