Anne Curtis celebrated her 39th birthday through a “barefaced” Alexander McQueen and Alaïa photoshoot, captured through the lens of BJ Pascual last February 17, 2024. As her supporters flooded the comments with greetings and well wishes, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) jokingly apologized to the Kapamilya actress for not being in the country to celebrate with her.
“Thank you for all the birthday greetings!! Sa mga mahal kong OFW na nakauwi sa birthday ko, see you sa 24 sa showtime 🌈 sa mga sad dahil hindi nakauwi, big hugs! Mahal ko po kayo,” Curtis-Smith wrote in a tweet.

The Fil-Aussie actress’ birthday entered memeable territory thanks to a viral exchange with It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda. During a 2017 airing, Vice mentioned the hardships of OFWs and their inclination to miss out on important events and gatherings like their own birthdays—“tulad kapag birthday mo (just like your birthday),”
While it took a second for the phrasing to register, Curtis-Smith laughed and invited Filipinos abroad to join her in celebrating her birthday.
