Anne Curtis, still one of the most popular and adored actresses in the Philippines, not only started acting at an early age, she also learned early on the value of her hard-earned money.

“I started in the industry when I was only 12 years old. I was fairly young, ang talent fee ko is P1,200. I did not handle my finances at that time, my parents were the ones who were setting aside all of my savings. They turned it over to me at the age of 18.”
