Anne Curtis speaks up on 'lasenggera' tag

Anne Curtis

MANILA, Philippines – Anne Curtis shrugs off comments of people who call her “lasenggera,” after she was involved in a couple of alcohol-related incidents in the last few months.

“It's not an issue for me at all. I've had worse,” the ABS-CBN star said in an interview with members of the press recently.

Anne said she does not deny that she drinks. “And of course, minsan, nalalasing naman talaga. At least I'm honest about it,” she explained.

“I think it's something na at least yung tao hindi nasho-shock na, 'Oh my god, napaka-scandalous.' Kasi alam nila na, 'She's like us, it happens',” Anne said.

The actress-TV host believes it helped that she was honest about her previous incidents. “Hindi ako nagtago. I admitted it was a mistake. So I think it just goes to show that tao ako and I think people can relate because I'm sure at one point in their lives it happened to them,” she said.

The 29-year-old actress is promoting “The Gifted,” her upcoming comedy movie which also stars Sam Milby and her “No Other Woman” co-star Cristine Reyes.

In the trailer for movie, Anne's character Zoe is shown physically fighting with Cristine's Aica for the affection of a man, played by Sam.

In real life, would Anne confront a woman if she sees her flirting with her man?

Anne is currently in a relationship with restaurateur Erwan Heussaff.

“Who wouldn't? Pero kung nakikita ko naman na umiiwas yung guy, that's the only time I think I'd take a stand,” she said.  “If not, that's his mistake; it's not the girl's fault.”

Would she hesitate to go physical on the girl? “If she really she tempts me, of course! If she touches me first,” Anne said. “And I think I'm speaking for any women in love.”
