Anne Curtis has finally revealed her presidential bet as she showed a flower planted by her own mom, symbolizing “a mother’s love.”
The actress showed a pink rose planted by her mother Carmencita while declaring support for presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo via her Instagram and Twitter pages today, April 12.
“A mother’s love. ‘Yan ang tawag sa rosas na ito (That’s what this rose is called). My [mom] planted this rose in her garden [and] how apt it is for this time…,” she said. “Dahil ang pangarap ko sa ating bansa ay magkaroon ng ilaw sa ating tahanan na tinatawag nating Pilipinas na gagabay, ipaglalaban, proprotektahan at mamahalin ito… mamahalin tayo.”
(Because my dream for our country is for us to have a light in our home that we call the Philippines, who will guide, fight for, protect and love it… love us.)
Curtis then used the hashtag “#LetLeniLead,” which is associated with Robredo’s campaign, as well as “#LuvAnneLeni,” a play on “#LabanLeni (Fight Leni)” used by the vice president’s supporters.

“Mabuhay ang mga nanay na may paninindigan (Long live mothers with a stand)!” Magdangal said.
“Salamat sa pagtindig, Anne (Thank you for taking a stand, Anne)!” Gonzalez, meanwhile, told Curtis.
