As fuel prices continue to climb, several GMA Network stars are opening up about their personal strategies to save money, proving that even celebrities feel the pinch at the pump.
Alden Richards, one of the network's top leading men, shared that he's become more mindful of his driving habits. "I plan my routes more carefully now to avoid unnecessary trips," he explained. "Sometimes I combine errands that I used to do on separate days."
Actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith revealed she's embracing alternative transportation methods. "I've been using ride-sharing apps less and walking more for short distances," Curtis-Smith said. "It's not just about saving money—it's also good exercise and better for the environment."
Other Kapuso artists have adopted different approaches to cutting costs. Some mentioned carpooling with colleagues when heading to the same tapings or events, while others have started using fuel-efficient vehicles for their daily commutes.
"We're all looking for ways to adjust," one celebrity noted. "The price increases affect everyone, so we're finding creative solutions to manage our expenses better."
The stars' practical tips come as many Filipinos grapple with rising transportation costs, showing that financial mindfulness transcends income levels.
