Anne Curtis wouldn’t mind being an ambassador for local public transport

On April 17, Anne Curtis took a ride on the MRT as she rushed to the live airing of It’s Showtime coming from the set of her new series Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw. This is the second time the actress took public transport just to reach her appointment on time. The first instance was on July 2011 when she was headed to the Smart-Araneta Coliseum for international pop star Kylie Minogue’s concert.

On April 19, PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) caught up with Anne Curtis at her launch party as the newest ambassador for Avon cosmetics’ new Shine Attract lipstick line.

In an open forum with the press after the short program, the actress-host shared the latest updates about her current and upcoming projects.

NO ISSUES WITH THE IT’S SHOWTIME FAMILY. Anne once again clarified that there is no truth to the rumored rift between her It’s Showtime co-host Vice Ganda and the show’s director Bobet Vidanes.

According to previous reports, Direk Bobet was believed to have resigned from the show due to a misunderstanding with Vice.

Rumor has it that the comedian has changed his ways since the success of his movie Praybeyt Benajmin, which turned out to be the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.

Anne was asked by the entertainment press whether she’s had any bad experience with Vice on the set.

She said, “No, wala naman. I mean, meron din kaming mga issues ni Vice, pero hindi seryoso.

“Alam mo iyong nag-aasaran kami? Pero wala pa iyong tulad ng sinasabi nila na pikunan na serious na it caused a big fight and commotion. Wala."

With regards to the issue between Vice and Direk Bobet, Anne had this to say: “Wala namang issue so I really don’t know where it’s coming from.

“But you know, I think it’s all part of the industry. As always, they’ll always have something to say.

“So, as of now, it’s safe to say na walang issue.

"We’re all working as a family, 'tulad kanina, ang saya saya namin so wala, walang issue.”

RIDING THE MRT AGAIN. As Anne puts it, the set of It’s Showtime remains to be fun and peachy, which is primarily why she is always excited to go to work every morning.

In fact, she would make that extra effort just to get to the set on time.

On April 17, Anne—who was already running late coming from the set of her new soap opera—bravely took an MRT ride from Boni Avenue station to Quezon Avenue station.

    DISQUALIFICATION. Very demeaning na ang title na AMBASSADOR these days. kahit ano na lang, ginagamit ang title. In the strictest sense, ANNE Curtis should be barred from holding any PUBLIC servant position because ANNE Curtis is an AUSTRALIAN citizen!

    ano bang klase balita ito? sumakay lang ng MRT, gagawin na siyang ambassador? hehehe. dami kayang artista sumasakay sa public transport sa other countries. Sa NY, halos araw araw makikita mo mga celebrities, politicians, etc nkikipaguunahan sa taxi. I agree dun sa Queen of England, siya yun kahit sanggol pa lang di nakaranas magpublic transport sa bansa niya, e etong si anne, di naman laking prinsesa noh, di pa siya artista , sumakay na yan ng tricycle, jeep, tas now sumakay lang ng MRT big deal na?.. sa totoo lang naman nakakasawa na siya. and hindi ako kapuso mga fantards lol.

    And, why would the government consider her as ambassador for public transport? baka nga hindi niya pa alam kung magkano ang fare mula Boni ave. hanggang Quezon ave? plus MRT is not the only public transport sa pinas...nakasakay na ba siya ng jeep,tricycle o bus? pero infairness to Anne mas ok na siya kumpira sa ibang artista o politiko na akala mo hari/reyna na ang tingin nila sa sarili???

    Big deal na ba yan? why do we need to applaud her for riding a public transportation...ganyan ba ang tingin natin sa mga artista na dahil sikat ay masyado na silang mataas at hindi na pwedeng makihalubilo sa ibang tao ...Eh yung mismong ruler at sheikh ng Dubai eh sumasakay sa metro train at ni walang bodyguard man lang o assistant ay hindi naging balita...ang dapat sating mga pinoy ay baguhin na ang isipan na ang bawat tao ay pantay pantay kahit sumasakay pa yan limousine o tricycle ay tao parin yan.
